0012 The arrival of Auden the Great
The next day, the trial training continued.
Su Yang arrived early and found that Sun Dasheng was still going to participate, so he stepped forward to say hello and chat.
When the game started, he observed other high-ranking rookies and looked at Sun Dasheng's performance. As a result, Sun Dasheng was arranged to play as a small forward, and those players in the same team basically would not pass the ball to Sun Dasheng, one of them was more independent.
Only by running out of a large open position can there be a point guard who can try to pass the ball to Sun Dasheng in order to demonstrate his passing ability.
Thinking of his experience in the team, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh that it was difficult for Chinese to make it out in the NBA.
That night, the training camp jointly organized by multiple teams ended.
All teams and players left Orlando one after another, and the Trail Blazers and their group also took a special plane to Portland.
Instead of following the large army, Su Yang embarked on the plane to San Antonio with Bob.
"I'll take you through the tactical scouting process. This final can be used as the best sample..."
In the NBA, tactical scouts’ main job is to observe what tactics the opponent will play and write them as a report and submit them to the coaching team for use. In order to achieve this goal, it is often necessary to observe the opponent several days in advance.
Sometimes, tactical scouts won't meet coaches and players for several months, and they won't deal with the media.
This leads to no one who praises the tactical scouts who do well in their work, and it is easy to take the blame if they do poorly. But the advantage is that tactical scouts are the fastest way for ordinary people to become head coaches and even head coaches. Many NBA head coaches have had scouting experience.
"Nate is a coach with a more casual personality. You don't have to write a tactical report that has dozens of pages in the future. Of course, he may not necessarily adopt the suggestions you give. He is more...why? He is more steady and doesn't like to change at will."
Su Yang remembered what Bob said, and the two landed at San Antonio International Airport in the early morning of the fifth.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them took a taxi to the ATT center and obtained an admission permit as a media person.
Bob took Su Yang to get to know the work process and introduced him to other scouts and staff.
After entering the court, the two watched the Cavaliers' training while discussing how to write a report.
Su Yang noticed that LeBron practiced free throws with confidence, and seemed to have a strong desire to hit the basket.
The game started at 7 o'clock, and the Spurs came up to guide the defensive strategy of blocking the middle of the wing. They also gave LeBron a double-team from time to time, which made LeBron shoot 0 of 4 shots in the first quarter, without the willful style of playing the Pistons.
The Spurs blocked the middle lane strategy and almost cut off the Cavaliers' passing, resulting in the Cavaliers only one assist in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, LeBron made 0 of 3 shots and scored 2 points with a free throw made by a shooting foul.
In this way, the Spurs fought over the whole game and easily won.
But LeBron still showed his kingly style in the fourth quarter, but he only had 4 free throws in the game.
After watching the game, Bob said that LeBron's sudden free throw reduction requires special attention, and then analyzes the Spurs' defensive strategy around the reduction of free throws, and then uses the Trail Blazers lineup to simulate responses, which is the basic idea of a tactical report.
Su Yang kept it in mind, and the two embarked on a flight to Los Angeles, where there was a training camp.
…
The three-day Los Angeles inspection time passed by in a blink of an eye and no suitable player was found.
At noon on the Ninth, the two set off for Portland to prepare for Greg Oden's solo trial.
"As many as a hundred media outlets will be present this time, they want to witness it with their own eyes. As the rookie with the highest ratings in NBADraft, what will happen? Brandon Roy and other main players will also be present to visit.
There are also fans, the team sales department invited many season ticket holders to the spot, which was a big party!”
Bob looked quite excited while his words were spoken.
Chapter completed!
