From the moment this guy appeared on the team yesterday to now, basically every word he says is thorny, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
This is another reason why he has been transferred to many teams in the past few years but has not been reused.
No one likes a teammate whose words are thorny inside and out, and no coach likes a guy who destroys the unity within the team.
Head coach D'Antoni really has no one available at this time.
He had to force a smile and said:
"Doug, it would be best if you could restrain him when the time comes."
Although D'Antoni doesn't know how much skill Doug has left after not playing for two years, but even if Doug only has 30-20% of his peak skill, this guy's ability to create trouble and trouble while irritating his opponents is top-notch.
With a fiery temper like Zion's, if you are angered by him, the Kings will have a greater chance of winning.
Doug listened to the coach's words and smiled contemptuously:
"As long as you give me playing time, I can make that guy's life worse than death."
D'Antoni nodded: "Don't worry, I will give you a chance to perform."
Of course, D'Antoni was actually just talking and didn't have high expectations.
After all, you can't put your hopes of winning on a guy who hasn't played in a game in two years and is a stinker.
D'Antoni continued: "If we can limit Zion to a certain extent, then the other perimeter players will stick to the opposing three-point shooter, and when necessary, they will even commit fouls to interrupt their shooting rhythm, then our chances of winning will be
It will be much bigger."
For those who are very accurate in preventing shots, remember one word - stick.
Damn it!
It's so close that when he strikes, his elbow can hit you in the face.
That way he won't have much room to shoot, and even if there is room to shoot, his hit rate will drop because his rhythm is affected.
Of course, if you are as accurate as peak Curry and peak Wang Yi, if you really want to be accurate, then all defensive methods will be useless.
But there are only two three-point shooters like Wang Yi and Curry in history.
Head coach D'Antoni continued: "Of course, we also have to consider what we will do if we cannot restrict Zion."
"impossible."
As soon as the coach finished speaking, Doug, who had been spinning a pen in his hand, raised his head again and said:
"As long as I'm given playing time, there's no way I can't restrain that guy."
"Or to put it another way, as long as I am given playing time, I can kill that guy on the court."
Head coach D'Antoni heard this and calmed his emotions:
"Doug, I believe you, but everything is unexpected. What we are talking about now is in case, if Zion cannot be restrained, then we must have second-hand preparations."
Doug sneered and stood up directly: "Then you should prepare. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with me."
As he spoke, he slapped the pen on the table.
Then he walked away.
His behavior made all the players very unhappy.
Seeing him leaving the meeting room, some players couldn't help but curse:
"Fuck, what kind of virtue!"
"That guy is definitely the most annoying guy I've ever seen, bar none."
D'Antoni also sighed secretly.
At the same time, the players also glanced at Wang Yi.
The inner thought of many players is: You are the boss of the team, and you have to solve this guy.
Wang Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "They are all problem children."
When he first came to the Kings, Hield, Barnes and others were all problem children. Now that he has returned to the Kings, he has encountered a lot of problem children again.
We had just solved Bond's trouble, and now here comes this guy again.
And obviously, this guy is definitely the most difficult problem child I have ever encountered.
The two have been sworn enemies since 4 years ago. Now if you want to conquer him,
How difficult it is.
Oh, my head is big.
However, Wang Yi gave everyone a look of reassurance.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
D'Anton, you continued: "Then let's discuss now what to do if we can't restrict Zion inside. Wang, tell me what you think."
Wang Yi nodded: "In case we can't guard him, my idea is that the other four people will guard their shooter on the three-point line so that their shooter has no chance to take action. As for the inside, let us
The inside players were 1 on 1 with Zion.”
"Of course, don't be afraid that our inside line will be blown up. We can let Turs, Bond and Doug take turns to pester Zion, constantly wearing him down, and fighting. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't stand up to the whole situation.
One-to-one consumption of the field."
"When his physical fitness declines, his hit rate will inevitably drop, and then their one-star, four-shooter system will be self-defeating."
The coach nodded: "Well, Wang Yi's idea is very reasonable and logical, then we will decide on this style of play."
At the same time, in the Pelicans home arena, the Smoothie King Center, and in the conference room.
The Pelicans also held a pregame meeting.
The head coach of the Pelicans is Rondo, an alien.
Rondo once showed a very high golf IQ as a player.
The most classic thing is to instruct my cousin to think carefully to defend the air, and in the end, she really prevented the opponent's attack.
Shortly after Wang Yi retired, Rondo also retired.
Then he became the assistant coach of the Pelicans, and starting this year, he replaced the head coach and became the head coach.
The Pelicans' record has soared this season, which has something to do with his coaching.
This star-spreading system was also proposed by him.
At this time Rondo looked at Zion and said:
"They only know that we will play a one-star four-shooter system, so they will try their best to destroy our one-star four-shooter system. To deal with the one-star four-shooter system, one is to try to limit the inside line, and the other is to try to limit the outside line. I think
They will choose one of the methods and stick with it for a whole game to see the effect."
"I predict that in Game 1 they will guard our four shooters and let their players consume Zion in the paint. So Zion, you have to be prepared."
Zion still admired Rondo very much. He nodded:
"Don't worry, coach. If one of them comes, I'll kill one. If they come two, I'll kill a pair."
Rondo continued:
"Of course, we can't play a whole game with Zion alone. So we also need pick-and-roll cooperation among our outside shooters, and our secret weapon - air-cutting mid-range, but air-cutting mid-range is our trump card, no.
Don’t use it until absolutely necessary.”
"As for the defensive end, we can let our two defensive heroes fight Wang Yi and Rose. The physical fitness of both of them is a big problem. As long as they have physical problems in the second half of the third quarter, then we
The game will be playable, of course, provided we don’t dig too big a hole in the first half, just like the Lakers.”
Everyone nodded.
Looking at the first round match between the Lakers and Kings, the Lakers basically dug too big a hole in the first half and couldn't fill it in the third and fourth quarters, and ultimately lost the game.
If the Lakers' hole in the first half wasn't so big, then the Kings would be eliminated at this time.

Chapter completed!
