Chapter 459 Winning The Game Is More Important Than Anything Else (2 More, Please Subscribe)
If Zhou Yan hadn't led all the players of the Atlanta Hawks to attack together, I am afraid that the shortcomings of Louis Williams would have been exposed early today.
At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was still stabilized at 28 points.
This also means that after Zhou Yan and the others left the field, all the players only lost two points under this rotation, which is acceptable to coach Mike Woodson.
But when coach Mike Woodson carefully observed the situation of the game, he didn't just stare at the score with his eyes.
Because as long as the current score is not caught by the opponent within ten goals, there is no need for Zhou Yan to play, and coach Mike Woodson can also see Zhou Yan's demeanor on the court.
That is to be able to quickly decide the life and death of a game. It is indeed Zhou Yan's experience just now that coach Mike Woodson uses some tactics and players.
Coach Mike Woodson is even bolder. In the previous situation, Coach Mike Woodson has always wanted to let himself pass the main players and substitute players.
The combination of the two allows the main players to play with the substitute players, which can not only increase the experience of the substitute players, but also ensure the victory of the game.
These main players can be used as the main offensive point, which can still make the team's offense possible, but now coach Mike Woodson has completely changed his mood.
Now after the end of the third quarter, everyone is surrounded by coach Mike Woodson, and coach Mike Woodson also said "six eight three" to all the players.
"In order to prevent the opponent's counterattack, in the fourth quarter of the game, we will still start with the main players and substitute players crossing the field, so that we can see how the opponent reacts ten times."
"If the opponent's reaction is within our expectations, it means that we can slowly replace the main players, and then let all the substitute players go to the court to exercise."
"If the opponent's counterattack is too fierce, and you can't withstand this test, then I can only replace the substitute players, and then replace our main players on the court."
Zhou Yan knew that this was coach Mike Woodson expressing a point of view, that is, those who are capable and can perform well can stay on the court.
As long as it allows them to maintain the score, even though it doesn't necessarily mean that there must be a 28-point difference.
But at least don't touch the bottom line in Coach Mike Woodson's heart, there won't be any problems, Zhou Yan is thinking about these now.
Coach Mike Woodson also said to all the players.
"My requirements are not high. All the people on the court should play out their own abilities, and the second is to play out our tactics. I command you to judge from these two angles, not whether you let the opponent score. Or the angle you score from."
"If you can complete what I ask, you will naturally be able to score points and defend your opponents smoothly, so next, you have to look at the tactics I have arranged for you."
When coach Mike Woodson draws tactics on the tactical board, he is also explaining to everyone, telling everyone what goals they should be able to achieve and how to play.
Of course, such tactics are used both for the substitute players and the main players, but only when the substitute players are on the field.
Coach Mike Woodson is still accepting his extra requirements and some other considerations, Zhou Yan can also see from this point.
Coach Mike Woodson still pays extra attention to the substitute players, and now Coach Mike Woodson is also talking to all the substitute players.
"I hope that you can all show your abilities, and I also hope that you can use all my tactics well, so that when you can combine them with your abilities, you can complete the game more smoothly."
"Everyone remember, you have to take care of each other when defending, because your actual ability is still a little worse than the main players of the Hornets, so you must jointly defend."
"But the Hornets will not always be like this. They dare not replace the main players now because they still want to catch up with the score.
When Coach Mike Woodson finished giving these instructions, he also announced the list of players to play.
Among the main players, coach Mike Woodson selected Dikembe Mutombo and Louis Williams.
It can also be seen that coach Mike Woodson still has a little spirit Zhou Yan and Anfernee Hardaway, when they sat on the sidelines, the fourth quarter of the game also started
In the first two minutes, you can see these main players of the Hornets playing very fiercely, scoring ten goals in a row, and successfully defending once.
Zhou Yan felt that the Atlanta Hawks were just in a little trouble, but Dikembe Mutombo stepped up at the critical moment and allowed himself to force a 12-pointer inside.
When Zhou Yan saw this scene, he also felt that Dikembe Mutombo experienced too much tempering last season.
So at this critical moment, he can grit his teeth and push forward, Zhou Yan also said for Anfernee Hardaway.
"Seeing Dikembe Mutombo's style of play, you should learn from Dikembe Mutombo. In this way, your technical ability is also good now, and you also have it when you are in the development league. Some of the temperament of the core players."
"What you lack now is the attitude of facing up to the difficulties, and when Dikembe Mutombo encounters extremely difficult times, he can withstand the pressure and let himself bring these players to get points. ."
"This kind of mentality is not only the confidence that allows me to hone my skills in training, but also the ability to help the team with my ability and my big heart after knowing that the team has encountered difficulties."
Zhou Yan knew that Dikembe Mutombo last season belonged to the kind of repeated defeats, and then repeated defeats, making himself fall down and then stand up again.
When he stood up, he was repeatedly tortured by the opponent's team, which made Dikembe Mutombo develop the current mentality.
In this difficult period, the effect is not only showing the mentality of not admitting defeat, but also showing his true attitude.
This is the so-called hard work, and Zhou Yan has a special appreciation for such players, because Zhou Yan knows what the role of such players is in the team.
If you leave such players, ten teams will lack the temperament of a tough style.
When facing the enemy, maybe when the wind is going smoothly, everyone fights better.
But once entering adversity, it is very likely that everyone's state will not meet the team's requirements.
Zhou Yan knows that when this point is put on other players, it may be practical.
But when it was placed on Dikembe Mutombo, this scene was no longer seen.
When Zhou Yan was thinking about this, he saw that the Hornets were still continuing their counterattack.
They got another three from beyond the arc, and that's when Kyle Korver stepped himself up and returned a three from beyond the arc.
When Zhou Yan saw this scene, Zhou Yan was worried for Anfernee Hardaway, and Zhou Yan was happy for kicking Kyle Korver.
Because there are two possibilities for Zhou Yan, that is, Kyle Korver in the team has stronger competitiveness again.
This shows that no matter who of the two of them can catch the small forward position, it is a good thing for the Atlanta Hawks.
Because the strength of another player after becoming a substitute player is not low, and Zhou Yan also feels that under this kind of pressure, he is actually more optimistic about Anfernee Hardaway.
It's just that Zhou Yan can't express his attitude directly, because Zhou Yan knows that as long as Anfernee Hardaway has such pressure, he can still make progress.
This is also because Zhou Yan saw that Anfernee Hardaway was able to withstand a few stressful moments during the competition just now.
This explains the attitude and mentality of Anfernee Hardaway, Zhou Yan is thinking about these now.
Zhou Yan saw that Dikembe Mutombo gave him another big hat, and Zhou Yan couldn't help but yelled "Hello"
Indeed, for Zhou Yan, Dikembe Mutombo is like an iron gate, tightly guarding the basket of the Atlanta Hawks, and there is such a player.
It is a pity that this team has not achieved good results, but now with Zhou Yan, all this will change.
Zhou Yan also said to Anfernee Hardaway.
"Now it seems that the Atlanta Hawks did have a problem with the matching of players in the past, which led to the lack of strength. If Dikembe Mutombo was paired with a few good teammates, perhaps they would have been able to make the team I got better grades myself.”
"It's like the main players who became substitute players last season. In fact, we can see that they played very well on the bench."
"But if they are placed in the position of the main players, they will be lacking. Therefore, under the influence of this situation, if we want to do something, we must reform the players."
When Anfernee Hardaway heard Zhou Yan's words, he nodded again and again. For him, the team is getting better and better, and he joined.
He also feels that this is a good thing for himself and the team, especially the core players in the team are performing very well.
Anfernee Hardaway also said to Zhou Yan.
"The good thing is that they have completed the reform, and we have seen that the result is also very good. It means that we have become players of a team, and then we can fly higher together."
"Actually, I am also looking forward to the next game. As long as there are a few more games, I believe that all our players will be able to experience and become a better existence, and we will achieve better results."
"Such a result should be worthy of the fans of the Atlanta Hawks, and also worthy of our status as players. I think this is the first step that everyone wants to pursue."
Zhou Yan also knows what everyone is pursuing, and that is the highest goal, the championship ring of the league.
But what Anfernee Hardaway said is also correct. If the goal is to be broken down into small goals one after another, the most important goal in front of you is to enable everyone to make progress together.
Now is the time for Zhou Yan to watch the performance of the players on the court. When Zhou Yan sees the Hornets, it is finally time to replace the main players.
Mike Woodson also directly replaced Dikembe Mutombo and Louis Williams in the battle,
Louis Williams also sat down next to Zhou Yan.
Dikembe Mutombo 0.1 Mbo also sat not far from Zhou Yan, when Dikembe Mutombo wiped his sweat.
He also said to Zhou Yan.
"These guys from the Hornets are simply too capable of struggling. They have already lost the suspense of the game, and they insisted on letting themselves play desperately in the few minutes just now.
The fish died and the net broke.
"For them, it is impossible to make a comeback, but for us, the more pressure they put on us, the more we
Play more passionately on the court.
"If they had made themselves give up a long time ago, I wouldn't have to make such an effort. Although my old arms and legs can last for a few years, they can't stand them.
Such a toss.
Zhou Yan also laughed when he heard what Dikembe Mutombo said. It is a good thing for everyone to win the game.
But Dikembe Mutombo is not as unbearable as he said, but is full of vitality when playing on the court.
It is true that Dikembe Mutombo's attitude can affect El Horford and tell him what attitude he should use to play on the court.
Zhou Yan also said to Dikembe Mutombo with a smile.
You can easily watch the remaining few minutes of the game, but fortunately, the Hornets only struggled for four minutes.
There was an eight minute break.
"If they really kept struggling like this, today would not be too easy.",
