Two weeks ago, the Washington media interviewed Jordan about a very sensitive topic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Michael, you only need to average 20 points per game in the season to keep the NBA's regular season scoring average in the history of the first place, you started the game mainly to organize passes, 7.1 assists, don't you care about this record?"

Jordan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The most important thing is to win." ”

That's not what he thought in his heart. I rub, how did I forget this stubble?!

Jordan is a perfectionist who wants to do better, and if he can score 20 points per game and still lead the team to win, that's the best result. It's a pity that he doesn't have such a strong ability now, and after increasing his shots to pursue scoring, it also affects the team as a whole.

If Jordan can't maintain the first average points per game in the regular season, there will definitely not be so many "Qiao Mi" in the future who rightly say that Jordan is the first person in NBA history.

The record is left for future generations to see, the first is the first, the second is the second, and there can be no reason for tactics, rules, and defensive intensity. So, Jordan's points per game average this season is directly related to his place in history, how can he not care?

Jordan averaged 33.4 points per game in the playoffs, and Chamberlain averaged only 22.5 points per game in the playoffs, shooting 40% from the free-throw line. (Jordan was too early to hang up!) ）

Of course, it is also possible that this record is in vain. For example, 6 billion fans quickly forgot about Jordan, and often compared Kobe, who averaged 25 points per game in his career, with Jordan, and boasted that Kobe's scoring ability was completely explosive to Jordan, because Kobe Bryant had 81 points, which was even more immortal! (Is there any other word?) ）

On the 14th, Yang Rui called two assistant coaches and Jordan to have dinner together and booked a private room in a Western restaurant.

After serving, Jordan's face was a little ugly, and he sighed, "Are you going to persuade me to reduce my shots?" ”

This battle, no matter how you look at it, it is a group to put pressure on him, if Yang Rui himself says, Jordan will definitely refuse, there is no negotiation.

Yang Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "No, we are planning to make adjustments on the premise of ensuring your data and strive to win more games. Michael, I guess you want to keep your points averaging 20 points per game and leave no regrets, right? ”

"Yes." Jordan breathed a sigh of relief. Whoever wants to stop him from doing this, he will be in a hurry.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Jordan averaged 20+ points per game in all seasons of his career, and exactly 20 points in his last season.

It's a paradox, except for point guards, you have to be selfish to succeed, otherwise you won't achieve much. An example of this is Vince Carter in Yang Rui's previous life, who had an invincible body and scoring efficiency, but had little personal accolades.

Of course, the player's pursuit of personal data may affect the team, and what Yang Rui needs to do is to arrange appropriate tactics and have a good impact.

The tactics of the right star are very important, if you coach LeBron James, you must arrange the playmaking forward tactics, and whoever arranges him to play mainly in the low post will not be able to play to his full strength. If you coach Nash, you have to let him hold the ball and play pick-and-roll, and whoever wants to arrange a triangle offense, Nash is an ordinary role player.

If Jordan wants to score high, the high-post playmaker tactics don't suit him.

Yang Rui smiled: "Michael, you have to help your teammates play while averaging 20 points per game, if you can't do that, we won't have a good result this season." You're a player, but you're also an assistant coach in my heart. So this time to change tactics, we also want to hear your opinion.

Yang Rui's words made Jordan feel very comfortable, he didn't mean to preach, and he respected his choice very much. Hornacek and D'Antoni have the same attitude, and the two have communicated with Yang Rui online.

First of all, Jordan is a very assertive person, and going directly to him will stir up his emotions.

Secondly, Jordan's identity determines that everyone must consider him, and aside from his previous honors, Jordan is now worthy of respect. A 40-year-old veteran can still play more than 30 minutes on the field, with good statistics, and only gets an annual salary of 1 million, as a player and as an assistant coach. How can you hack such a person?

Now Jordan's ability is also worthy of a high salary, not to mention that he can attract fans and increase the value of the team.

As soon as Jordan was in a good mood, he would become easier to speak, and both sides took a step back.

Jordan asked, "So what do you think I should do?" There must have been a plan, right? ”

With five consecutive defeats, the coaching staff should resign en masse if they don't have a plan. The three of them have been discussing tactics and have come up with the best plan.

Yang Rui smiled: "Michael, I think your most efficient scoring style is a low-post turnaround jumper, so I'm going to start Lettner and Marshall, they can shoot in all positions and can empty the inside." They've done a good job of blocking and pick-and-roll, you can cover Bell and Wesley on the perimeter, you can wait for an opportunity to pass the ball to the perimeter, and if the opponent doesn't cover it, you can play it low and back. ”

Of the three people who can shoot three-pointers in the starter, Leitner can actually shoot three-pointers, but he can't shoot much, and he doesn't shoot much, and he is in his scoring range within the three-point line. In this way, it will definitely create a single opportunity for Jordan in the low post.

This is the style of play that Yang Rui was good at in the Lakers in his previous life, in order to play the role of Kobe, the "Zen Master" often let the big men withdraw from the basket, and Kobe Bryant held the ball and played alone in the low post, with good efficiency.

The premise of this style of play is that big men must be able to shoot, and the Lakers inside Bynum, Odom, Gasol, Cook, and even Powell on the edge can shoot in the middle, and there is no shortage of shooters on the outside, which is the basis of the Lakers' last two championships.

Jordan is a genuine flyer, of course there is no problem to play like this, and the Wizards' interior can also shoot.

Jordan asked, "You're going to put Hamilton on the bench?" ”

"Yes, he's not good enough for three-pointers, and he's better suited to the fast-break than Bell. In this way, when you get out of the break, the substitute will resolutely run and bomb, and you can speed up faster. D'Antoni explained: "Our plan is to put you at the center of the starting lineup, to have people who are not good at running wide ranges, and to try to use the pace to suppress the opponent in the second quarter. ”

The word "suppression", D'Antoni is afraid of Jordan's face, he and Yang Rui both feel that in this arrangement, the substitute is the key to winning, which can crush the substitute lineup of most teams, and the starter led by Jordan can withstand and not lose too much, even if the task is completed.

Last season, the Wizards arranged Jordan to attack with the ball in the low post, and the statistics were not bad, and the record was poor.

Alstom, Hamilton, Margety, Wallace, and Stoudeyere were used off the bench, all five of whom could play fast breaks, and their defense was not too bad. If the opponent's offense is poor, you can give Tyrone Lue and Boozer a chance to perform.

After Boozer blocks and dismantled, he will form a double ghost slap with Stadameyer, and there must be a physical advantage on one side, depending on the opponent's lineup.

Hornacek continued: "Defensively, we're going to do the Jazz way, focusing on the restricted area, forcing the opponent to shoot from mid-to-long range, trying to interfere and keep the shooting percentage low, and then looking at other strategies against teams that are particularly good at three-point shooting. ”

Yang Rui looked at Jordan and asked with a smile: "Michael, what do you think?" ”
