What kind of team can become an NBA championship team is a question that all coaches and even players and fans in the NBA have been thinking about, but no one has ever been able to give a specific standard.

After all, in every era of the NBA, there are many NBA legendary teams with different characteristics on the highest stage of the championship, the Celtics in the sixties and seventies and the Lakers in the eighties, the Bulls in the nineties and even the Timberwolves at the turn of the century, these teams are basically different from the point of view of attributes, some of these teams pay attention to the inside, some pay attention to the outside, some advocate the wave and some advocate defense, it can be said that each team has relied on its own philosophy to reach the top, In this case, it is natural to find a unified standard. Because there is simply no single benchmark that can encompass all of these teams.

Although no one can set a standard for a championship team, it does not mean that any team can challenge for the NBA's highest honors. In the development of the NBA in the past few decades, there is a saying within the NBA that a team that wants to win a championship cannot have an obvious shortcoming.

The meaning of this sentence is that the champion team can not be perfect, nor must it be perfect, but it cannot be a team with fatal flaws, which is currently recognized as a championship criterion.

And now Zhuang Fei in his office, no matter what he thinks, it is impossible to think that his team is a team without fatal flaws, didn't the Wizards test a fatal flaw of the Timberwolves in the last game? If it weren't for Marion's final addition to the center position to fight Jordan and suppress Jordan, the outcome of the last game would be really unpredictable, the same way, Zhuang Fei and his Celtics have fatal flaws, and the same is true for the Wizards, the lack of the lineup here and the run-and-bomb system are not skilled enough, and the mistakes under pressure are their biggest problems, as for Nash's defense, such a small problem can not be mentioned, after all, not every team in the NBA can be like Zhuang Fei's Celtics who can attack from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.

"It seems that now we really need to think of a way to make up for this defect......" Finally, Zhuang Fei sat up from his office chair, then opened his eyes and sighed before standing up, and then prepared to go to the team's training hall.

"Yao, your shooting is too blunt, six think this is not your level, right? What about your soft touch? James squeezing you underneath didn't affect your upper body shots, right? ”

Stephen Green shouted to Yao Ming not far from the court with some depression, why is this player who usually has a high ball IQ and IQ so sluggish? Just now, Zhuang Fei arranged to him the training content to let Yao Ming adapt to the defense of small players, and let Yao Ming eat James Posey alone, although James Posey is taller than Jordan, but the two are similar in defensive style, both are defensive players with excellent technique, excellent awareness and strength, although Jordan has a slight advantage in consciousness and technology and even strength, but James Posey has no problem simulating Jordan, and it can be regarded as a weakened version of Jordan, but what makes Green extremely depressed is that This Chinese interior line seems to have turned into a zombie, encountering the top pressure of James Posey bending down and sinking the center of gravity, the shooting action of this interior line will become stiff and even a lot of deformation, and even the rhythm of the shot is a little different from before. Even if this strategy of small defense is powerful, as an all-star level, Yao Ming should not have such a contrast, even if Green asked Xiao Ao to try it just now, although Xiao Ao was a little uncomfortable at first, he was slowly returning to normal, and even in the face of Posey's defense, he could still play at a super level. This proves that this defensive strategy is not really that invincible. Yao Ming's training is not very good, and Green is also working hard to spur the Celtics center The winner of the last game was the Celtics, although the game was a little twists and turns, but the Celtics also persevered the most, so the atmosphere of the players in the team is not bad, and the faces are also very good during training, and some people are even standing with a smile on the side to watch the joke that the big man was reprimanded by the team's assistant coach. …,

When Zhuang Fei entered the training hall and saw this wisdom, he also nodded, for a team like the Boston Celtics, it is absolutely a miracle that the team can have such an atmosphere, most of these people are young players and most of them are playing the second round or the playoffs for the first time, for these players at this time, it is their normal performance to be extremely excited, just like when they played the Cavaliers in the first round, the Celtics were very excited at that time, Although this kind of excitement can make the Celtics players perform better to a certain extent, it has always made Zhuang Fei very worried about the continuity of the state of these players.

However, at this time, Zhuang Fei also frowned when he saw Yao Ming, who was being practiced by Green under the basket frame in the training hall court. Looking at the awkward appearance of the big center being pushed by James Posey under the basket, Zhuang Fei's heart also sank. I didn't know if I didn't look at it, but I was startled, the situation was much more serious than he expected, this big man was squeezed below the waist and seriously affected his upper body movements, which Zhuang Fei never expected, Yao Ming in Zhuang Fei's previous impression has always been a completely inexplicable existence on the offensive end, especially when playing singles, even in the blackest and blackest in his previous life...... Yao Hei will admit Yao Ming's ability on the offensive end, this is an offensive player who is close to insolvable, although now Yao Ming does not have the pure skills and experience as when he was at his peak, but there are also some rudiments, although it cannot be said that there is no solution at this time, but at least there is no life.

But this time D'Antoni's mistake really found a way for Yao Ming, the waist of this center is his Achilles heel, the big man's attack in the middle and long distance position is completely dependent on the waist force, after the waist is stuck in the main is naturally extremely difficult to exert force, the shooting action is deformed This is also inevitable, if there is a team that specializes in making a defensive player with excellent defensive skills below 2 meters to card the waist of the center, the center will lose the threat in the middle and long distance, Because of his height, he couldn't even break through.

Of course, although the NBA is not popular now, if it is really successful in Yao Ming, it is estimated that all teams in the league will start to study it, which is not only limited to Yao Ming or a center, maybe in the future, the kind of thing that takes short players to defend Durant and James will appear in the league in advance and even become the mainstream, although for some players, this kind of defense has little effect, for example, Xiao Ao is extremely adaptable to this kind of defense just now.

"Upper body strength, it seems that you really need a choice...... Zhuang Fei sighed quietly after watching Yao Ming throw a ball awkwardly, which also made the people in the training hall notice him.

The Celtics players and trainers also stopped training when they saw Zhuang Fei standing in the training hall, and when they saw Zhuang Fei signaling not to stop, they all started their training again, and Green, who was training Yao Ming at this time, came to Zhuang Fei by himself after sending Yao Ming to James Posey.

In Zhuang Fei's opinion, the assistant coach of the Celtics had a bad face, and Zhuang Fei naturally knew what the reason was after watching Yao Ming's training just now.

"Coach, Yao's upper body strength is too poor; , When the defender pushes his waist, his upper body will be out of force, and his action will be completely stiff and deformed, and now he wants to change for a while, and it is difficult for him to ......face the offensive problem of this kind of defense," Stephen Green said to Zhuang Fei bitterly as soon as he came to Zhuang Fei, and Zhuang Fei also nodded.

This kind of defense is mainly not effective for those players with insufficient upper body strength, so Xiao Ao will have no impact just now, although Yao Ming entered the NBA Zhuang Fei also made him heavier in order to increase the confrontation, but he did not let him gain too much weight to train his upper body strength, after all, this is a giant close to 2.30 meters Let him take the power flow route can only shorten his professional life, which is definitely not what Zhuang Fei wants to see, so Zhuang Fei's positioning for Yao Ming is also an offensive player who focuses on shooting, Even if you sit under the basket and attack, you are mainly shaking off the opponent with your footsteps, even if you can't shake it, you can use your height advantage to turn over and jump to end the attack, it can be said that although this Yao Ming also has a lot of offensive weapons, the most important thing is to shoot, and now the opponent is to limit Yao Ming's shooting. …,

"Coach, are we now the cultivation strategy of the Six Changes? Make him more dominant on the offensive end and give him weight? At this time, Stephen looked at Zhuang Fei's face and was silent, and naturally knew that now his coach was also extremely complicated, and at this time he also put forward his own suggestions, although it is impossible to say that such a thing as weight gain can not be helpful this season, but it is also a good way to solve Yao Ming's crisis, otherwise, with Yao Ming's current upper body strength, who knows if he can adapt to such a defense, and then become a chicken rib-like player, it will be worth the loss, with Yao Ming's offensive talent, as long as he gains weight, Then it will definitely be able to dominate the NBA interior, and Stephen Green can guarantee this.

After Stephen Green finished speaking, Zhuang Feili; His face changed again, he really didn't expect that the choice encountered by Van Gundy in his previous life would appear in front of him, at that time Van Gundy chose to let Yao Ming increase his dominance, and then changed Yao Ming's main offensive means, Yao Ming was indeed able to dominate the inside line on the offensive end, but he also lost a lot of things, including his own long career. Zhuang Fei had always thought that he would not choose the same path as Van Gundy, but at this time he was really a little confused, because the peak Yao Ming he was most familiar with in his previous life was Yao Ming after gaining weight, and Yao Ming, who did not gain weight, never reached his peak, and he was not even sure if he could have a peak. A very brilliant but very short Yao Ming and a very long but very likely very mediocre Yao Ming, if Zhuang Fei chooses the mediocre and long-term Yao Ming, it is very likely that the team's dream of winning the championship will be buried in the future, unless the big man is sent away, the choice at this time is indeed extremely difficult for Zhuang Fei. This is a decision that can affect Yao Ming's life and Zhuang Fei's coaching career at the Celtics.

For Zhuang Fei's current choice, Stephen Green was also very helpless when he looked at it from the side, when he gave Zhuang Fei this suggestion, he knew that this was a very difficult decision, of course he knew what Zhuang Fei's original intention was for Yao Ming's training, if he could, Zhuang Fei would never give Yao Ming weight gain, he knew his coach too well, this is a head coach who would never hurt his players. It's just that this time Green is a little apprehensive in his heart, if Zhuang Fei chooses not to hurt Yao Ming's career this time, it is very likely to bet on the future of the Celtics, and now Yao Ming's future is uncertain, so the future of the Celtics is naturally uncertain.

"Phew, Stephen, still according to our original strength; Plan 1, don't give Yao Ming weight gain, let's start from another aspect, such as changing his shooting action can also make him gradually adapt to that kind of uncoordinated shooting......" Finally, after being silent for a long time, Zhuang Fei finally made his own decision, and Steve Green, who heard this decision, was stunned in his heart, he was a little surprised, and then a hot breath arose in his heart, although he intellectually told him that Zhuang Fei should choose to let Yao Ming gain weight, but emotionally he couldn't accept it, even if this proposal was put forward by him.

"Coach, I will work hard, I think Yao will also work hard......" The assistant coach was also happy after getting Zhuang Fei's reply, so that Yao Ming, who was extremely standard in shooting and extremely coordinated in the rhythm of shooting, changed his habits for more than ten years to find something that did not know whether it existed or not, which was too difficult, but at this time Green was also willing to try.

Seeing the disciple in front of him, Zhuang Fei also smiled, he understood what his disciple was thinking, and when he saw Green trotting away from him and running towards Yao Ming, Zhuang Fei also looked at the back of his disciple and muttered to himself.

"I hope you don't let me down......"

Putting the future of Celtic on these two people, Zhuang Fei has no regrets...... )
