Chapter 800 Unifying Thinking

Thunder coach Billy Donovan has long wanted to clearly divide the tasks of the Big Three, but he wants to wait for a while, use the video as a medium, and persuade the Big Three to do what is best for them in a way that is beneficial to the team. thing.He knew that if Paojiao gave up a lot of ball possession without playing a regular season, he would definitely feel emotional.

Donovan knew that with Xie Kai and Westbrook in the team, the most suitable position for Pickled Pepper was 3D, with occasional misplaced singles.

Pickle can play singles, but his singles ability is still average among stars.When he holds the ball, because he can't lower the center of gravity, and he doesn't have the first step of McGrady's level, it is difficult to get rid of the defender without the help of a pick-and-roll, and he can only make more surprise shots.

Durant's center of gravity is not easy to lower, but his shooting point is obviously higher than that of pickled peppers, and he is more difficult to defend. Moreover, he has a crotch + crossover technique in front of the body, which is very easy to use.

After all, Pickled Pepper is the Pacers' leader. If you let him open up the space and take charge of defense like Bosh did back then, he will definitely have some ideas.Bosh voluntarily teamed up with Janeway at that time, but he was traded after all, so the situation is different.

For Paojiao, the team's low position is already the top 3, and if the possession of the ball is the same as that of a role player, he will definitely not do it.

Xie Kai said the four words "allocation of ball rights", Westbrook and Pickled Pepper all looked at him, wanting to hear him continue.

Xie Kai continued, of course: "I think that if everything is clear, we will be better. The three of us here should not be here to be the so-called boss, but to compete for the championship."

Both Westbrook and Pickle nodded in agreement.Indeed, from the beginning, everyone is for the championship. If you really just want to be the boss, you can be the boss in the original team.

"So, the victory of the game is the first. The three of us have already proved ourselves. Even if the data drops together, as long as we can have the last laugh, no one will think that we have fallen and have no maximum salary. Strength." Xie Kai said.

Xie Kai's words directly stated the contradiction. After all, the purpose of ball possession is data, and in the Big Three teams, it is very difficult for stars to obtain super data.And winning the championship is more meaningful than collecting good data for a season. This is the crux of the problem.

Pickled Pepper looked at Xie Kai, and suddenly said: "You are right, I agree very much. Then what do you think I should do on the court, I really want to know."

Xie Kai said: "Today we are discussing, let me talk about my thoughts first. I think let Russ take the lead, and you and I will play more off the ball. If you can't play tactics and need singles, give priority to dislocation. Whoever feels better that night , let who attack more. On the defensive end, the three of us must act as leaders and put the team first!"

Xie Kai's words did not make Paojiao sacrifice anything, nor did he highlight his own role, so the latter was still very comfortable to hear.

Pickled Pepper actually convinced Xie, although the two never met in the playoffs.But Xie Kai is a player who has proven himself in the regular season and playoffs, and is also a very good team player. You can't blame him for anything.Looking at the performance of the Memphis Grizzlies throughout the season last season, you will know how effective Xie Kai is.

The relationship between Westbrook and Xie Kai prevents him from doubting any of Xie Kai's arrangements.In fact, what Xie Kai said just now was mainly for Pickled Pepper.

Relatively speaking, Westbrook is the old man of the team, and Xie Kai is the MVP. It stands to reason that they should also account for the majority of the ball distribution.The most difficult thing to deal with is the third giant. Originally, a team has limited possession of the ball.

Looking at Xie Kai's serious eyes, Paojiao couldn't refuse. He nodded and said, "I agree, I will go to the flanks and corners more, and reduce unnecessary singles as much as possible."

Xie Kai was very satisfied with Pickle's answer. He turned his head to look at Westbrook: "Russ, you are our main ball-handler, and the ball will be mainly in your hands. But what I want to say is that if you play too ego Or lose your cool, me and PG will take over the ball without hesitation!"

Westbrook nodded with a smile: "I will do it well!"

Xie Kai's words made Paojiao feel comfortable listening, and he was also worried that Westbrook, with Xie Kai's support, would monopolize the ball and become a cancer.Westbrook's ball-handling destructive power is top in the league, but he is sometimes known for being hard-headed and not calm enough. In this regard, Rose has a similar style to him, but he is much calmer and wiser.

Xie Kai is very satisfied with the results of the exchange between the three of them this time. He did not ask anyone to make great concessions and sacrifices. It is a good strategy for everyone to go hand in hand.Of course, absolute egalitarianism is unsustainable, and it is too idealistic. Competitive sports are not play games, and it is really unimaginable to be cruel.That's why he proposed the decision to let Westbrook have more possession of the ball, and himself and Pickled Pepper more off the ball.Relatively speaking, his and Pickle's off-ball ability is much, much better than that of Westbrook.And he himself is off the ball, it becomes logical for Pickle to play off the ball, and the latter will no longer have too many thoughts.

Xie Kai knows that everything is difficult at the beginning, this is only the first step, and there will be many difficulties waiting for them in the future!Only when the hearts of the people are united can the mountains move. If the players do not have a unified awareness of winning the championship, then winning the championship is simply empty talk.

He knows what a championship team needs, not just strength on paper, but teamwork, determination, attitude and sacrifice.

Westbrook is a very simple man, and Pickled Pepper is not a thorn.Xie Kai is not worried that these two will become obstacles on the team's way to the championship.If the biggest obstacle, it may be potential injuries.

As for running-in, Xie Kai is confident that he can do well. He believes in his own strength, and he also believes in the abilities of Westbrook and Paojiao.

On November 11, the Thunder returned home to face the Minnesota Timberwolves.

This game is still of great significance to the Thunder. They want to get out of the loss in the game. They need to use a victory to rebuild the team's self-confidence.

Last season, the Timberwolves ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference, but they are not worried. They can get high draft picks if their record is not good, and they have a lot of top picks to improve. They haven't reached the championship window yet. What's the rush? ?

After Xie Kai organized their conversation, Westbrook communicated the essence of this chat with coach Billy Donovan. The latter was very excited after hearing it. He felt that Xie Kai's arrival was really a gift from heaven.Not only did it add an MVP-level instant combat power out of thin air, it also brought the leadership of the team.

Westbrook is a fierce fighter who charges forward, but he is not a leader. Donovan knows this better than anyone else.
