The next day, looking at the bright and clear sky outside the window, Wang Shuo took a special look in the mirror before going out and couldn't help but sigh: "Why is this face so handsome and attractive?"
As in his previous life, in addition to his heroic appearance, Wang Shuo's height in this life is still the familiar height of 180 centimeters barefoot and 183 centimeters with shoes.
It's just a pity that because the food I had in my early years has improved in this life, my weight in this life is no longer the 58 kilograms that made models shed tears, but 74 kilograms, which makes my figure appear more proportional.
After taking the room card and leaving the hotel, Wang Shuo arrived at the meeting location 20 minutes early according to the address given by Unseld.
As a result, as soon as he opened the office door, everyone's attention was attracted to him.
There is no other reason.
It was entirely because Wang Shuo was too young at this time.
Although in advance, those who attended today's meeting had already understood through Wang Shuo's personal file what kind of "goods" the "sighted" Boss Qiao had appointed, after seeing Wang Shuo with their own eyes, the Wizards uniform team The staff still took a deep breath!
27 years old.
And he is still an Asian who is extremely unfamiliar to the NBA at this time.
I'm a turtle!
Is the person that Boss Qiao likes really reliable?
In the office, Wang Shuo was not surprised by the looks others cast on him.
Because even after Yao Ming lands in the NBA in the future, Asian players in the NBA will be comparable to giant pandas, and in a sense may even be more precious than giant pandas.
What's more, he is only 27 years old at the moment?
In addition, compared with players, if it were not for the power of the system, I am afraid that in another fifty years, there will not be a coach from Asia in the NBA.
Because if you really understand the circle of American basketball coaches, you will know how exclusive this circle is.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Let’s get down to business.
Speaking of which, no matter how calm Wang Shuo acted after entering the office, the moment he saw Jordan, he almost couldn't hold his nerve.
There is no way, as a normal person, this is the true state of mind when meeting Jordan.
Compared with when he retired in 1998, Jordan's model is obviously bigger now.
According to conservative estimates based on later videos and various information, Jordan's weight must have been at least 110 kilograms at the beginning of the 01/02 season.
And, this is still too much to say.
As for Jordan at this moment?
Sorry, according to Wang Shuo's visual inspection, Jordan's weight must be upwards of 115 kilograms.
In addition to his weight, what impressed Wang Shuo most about Jordan was his big hands.
big.
It's really big.
In his previous life, Wang Shuo had the honor to take photos and shake hands with Kobe Bryant during Kobe’s trip to China, so Wang Shuo can say without exaggeration...
Compared with Jordan, Kobe's hands were like those of a junior high school student.
In addition, unlike many wingspan monsters in the future, Jordan's shoulder width is also quite terrifying. Therefore, when standing with other wingspan monsters, you can clearly find that Jordan's body proportions are simply carefully crafted by God.
In the future, many people will say that LeBron James' talent is at a historical level, even better than Jordan's, but those who say this forget that Jordan has another explosive physical value that is terrifying.
That is, LeBron James will never be able to match, and his flexibility is not even worthy of Jordan's exhaust.
Remember, it's forever.
And there is no exaggeration in this sentence.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, many technical movements were not coordinated enough, so many people were wondering why James didn't work harder on his techniques.
But the person who said this has absolutely no idea that basketball is such a bullying sport.
Because of James's level of hard work, even the scumbags will never use James' self-discipline and diligence to slander him.
But what should you do if you can’t learn?
In the future, the reason why Kobe is most like Jordan is precisely because even though Kobe's physical talent is not as good as Jordan's, his flexibility is among the best among players of the same height.
In daily life, why do people often use the word "bulky" when evaluating tall people?
Because the taller you are, the higher your center of gravity is, so relatively speaking, short people will have an advantage in flexibility and flexibility.
However, Jordan broke this rule.
He has a peerless waist, a golden-proportioned figure, and an endless exploration of basketball skills, making him the only true god in the history of basketball.
pity......
After all, Wizard Joe's physical function has deteriorated too much, so even if Jordan gained a new understanding of basketball skills during his second comeback, his physical function is not enough to support him to gallop on the court as before.
Therefore, although many basketball articles in the future will talk about how to defeat Jordan at his peak, in Wang Shuo's view, the only thing that can defeat Jordan in this world is time.
After the greetings before the meeting, almost immediately, everyone once again looked at Wang Shuo.
At this time, even though Jordan, who was sitting opposite Wang Shuo, didn't say a word, Wang Shuo clearly noticed that Jordan was actually very confused about the Wizards coach he appointed for next season.
"Wang, can you tell me first, what tactics are we going to use next season? Because no matter how the team should be built, how the next draft will be selected, and how the summer transactions will be done, we all You need to make a plan around your tactics." As the management's talker, Unseld was the first to speak.
Speaking of which, although the owner of this body in this life has lived in the United States for more than twenty years, his deceased adoptive father did not give him an English name.
The reason is also very simple, because in the view of Wang Shuo's adoptive father who is extremely obsessed with Chinese culture, Chinese people should maintain Chinese traditions. Why must they have English names?
"You have a civilization of nearly five thousand years. Whether it is the strong Han Dynasty or the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there is no culture in the world that can be compared with Chinese culture. You must remember that at the same time, you have reason to be proud of this culture." In my memory, this is what Wang Shuo's adoptive father loved to say to Wang Shuo before his death.
Wang Shuo's thoughts were temporarily suppressed. Looking at the tactical board that the staff had prepared, Wang Shuo knew that his exam had begun.
An exam that will most likely determine his fate.
In front of the tactical board, he picked up the first round magnet representing a Wizards player and placed it on the tactical board. After scanning the crowd, Wang Shuo said: "My tactics are actually very simple, that is Michael - Jordan, Michael Jordan, and, Michael Jordan.”
Hearing this, everyone present today who knew about Jordan's upcoming comeback suddenly looked at each other.
As the saying goes, you must first grasp the key points when speaking.
Especially on this occasion.
no doubt.
Wang Shuo's opening remarks immediately attracted the attention of Jordan, Unseld and others.
Because even though this opening statement was a bit exaggerated, the confidence on Wang Shuo's face at this moment made them want to continue listening.
"First of all, offensively, I need to deploy two shooters on the wings. Their role is to help us open up space for Michael when we attack."
After placing two more magnets, Wang Shuo continued unhurriedly: "At the same time, in my tactical plan, our inside line must have the ability to evacuate, because only in this way can we arrange for Michael to receive the ball in the low post. ball."
In the office, a somewhat impatient manager asked: "Why are you in a lower position?"
Hearing this, Wang Shuo, who never expected that he would be praised by others, smiled and said, "Because of physical ability."
Physical fitness.
A key attribute that is often overlooked in basketball.
At the same time, it is also an obstacle that the current prodigy Joe cannot overcome.
In the future, in the eyes of many people, James at his peak may not be as good as Jordan, but the 38-year-old James will definitely be better than the 38-year-old Jordan.
However, people who say this ignore the development of basketball and the protection of players by the team's coaching staff when formulating tactics.
Not to mention the impact that Jordan's two retirement gaps had on him during his career.
Let’s just talk about Wang Shuo’s memory of Jordan’s playing time during the Wizards period.
In the 01/02 season, Jordan was unable to fully recover his physical function due to his broken ribs in the previous training camp. Therefore, Jordan's average playing time in that season was only "Merely" 34.9 minutes.
In the 2002/03 season, Jordan, who was unwilling to bow to time and time, saw his playing time rise to an average of 37 minutes per game.
Yes, you read that right!
Even in the 2001/02 season, Jordan's average playing time and attendance rate were far more and higher than many future NBA stars.
As for the reason...
Mainly because as a star league, the current NBA atmosphere is completely different from that of the future.
In the eyes of the current stars, since you have enjoyed the high salary given to you by the team, especially after the lockout in 1998, the superstars gradually gained more say in the team, then as the head of the team As a star, you have the same obligation to repay the fans with higher attendance and playing time.
After all, from the perspective of a fan, they have worked hard to buy tickets, or turn on the TV with all their heart just to watch you, but you don't play. How hurt do you think this must be?
In the future, when many people complained that Jordan was not as good as James in his later years, they forgot that in the 2002/03 season, Jordan, who was already 39 years old at the time, had an astonishing attendance rate of 82 games.
Yes, there are only 82 games in an NBA season.
As we all know, whether it is the 29-team era or the 30-team era, the total number of games in the NBA has not changed.
Therefore, in terms of this attendance rate and playing time, it is naturally impossible for Jordan to maintain a relatively stable state throughout the long season.
In the future, the reason why NBA teams will significantly reduce the playing time of their stars and use various reasons to let their stars rest in unimportant games is precisely because an NBA season is too long and too many games. The competition will prevent the superstars from fully displaying their strength in important games.
Regarding how many games NBA stars should play in a season and how many minutes they should play in each game, scientific research has already shown that it is probably between 60 and 65 games in a season, averaging about 31 to 33 minutes per game.
Therefore, you will find in the future that players who can be full attendance every year and play more than 35 minutes are almost extinct in the league.
Wang Shuo knew that everyone present today was a supporting role, and only Jordan was the protagonist.
Therefore, no matter what tactics or plans he is going to talk about next, they must be centered around Jordan.
In the office, Wang Shuo continued: "After the point guard dribbles the ball past half court, I will ask him to decide what kind of evacuation our inside line needs to be based on the players facing Michael.
After completing the evacuation in the interior, two wing shooters will then ambush on both wings. At this time, Michael only needs to pick and roll with his teammates in the semi-high position, and he can easily get the ball in the low post.
I'm not exaggerating. Although the last time I watched Michael play was in 1998, in my opinion, in this era, there is absolutely no outside player who can guard Michael in the low post. "
Hearing this, Boss Qiao, who was very happy to be praised, immediately gave Wang Shuo a favorability +1 reward in the system panel.
One thing to say.
In some ways, Jordan and Kobe are indeed similar.
That is, these two people are just assholes.
"This idea is very similar to the triangle attack." On the other side, touching his chin, Unseld also changed his attitude when he talked to Wang Shuo yesterday after discovering that Wang Shuo had something.
In the NBA, no matter in ancient times, modern times or contemporary times, no player who has won the Finals MVP can be a fool.
Because if you can't fully understand the tactics arranged by the coach, relying on personal ability alone, even if you are as strong as Jordan, you will be knocked down by the steel plate of the Pistons.
After looking at Unseld, Jordan nodded, "This is indeed very similar to Phil's triangle offense."
No need to look like it, that’s all.
Simply put, this is a modified version of the triangle offense.
Anyone with a little common sense should know that because of Jordan's shooting style and habits, it is difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough on three-pointers. Therefore, Jordan's best attack area must be within the three-point line.
But considering Jordan's athletic ability in his later years, if you asked him to play with the ball head-on, his old waist would have to call the police within a few rounds.
Therefore, only in the low post can Jordan's maximum power be exerted, and at the same time, Jordan's physical energy can be saved to the maximum extent.
Because even after this summer's training camp, Jordan's weight has determined that there is no player among NBA perimeter players who can carry him in the low post.
And unlike holding the ball head-on, once Jordan can successfully fall into the low post, he will be able to use his unparalleled experience and superb skills to reduce the dimensionality of his contemporaries outside players.
Wang Shuo has watched videos of Joe the Wizard playing, and his athletic ability is indeed not as good as Joe the Bull, but technically, absolutely no one of his generation can match him.
In addition, being close to the low post can also improve Jordan's efficiency.
Wang Shuo remembers that in the 01/02 and 02/03 seasons, Jordan's shooting percentages were 41.6% and 44.5% respectively.
Compared with his own peak period, the wizard Qiao Tie is really strong.
But more of the reason is due to the reduced efficiency brought about by the way Jordan launches his offense.
In the 01/02 season and the 02/03 season, do you know the number of two-point shots Jordan took for his large size?
The answer is a staggering 8.8 times and 8.1 times.
So why not bet on three points!
Even if Jordan was the god of mid-range shooting at his peak, he would not play like this.
In fact, in the 2002/03 season, after slightly reducing the unreasonable number of large two-point shots, Jordan's efficiency was greatly improved.
Because even the Wizard Joe's finishing rate at the basket is far higher than that of the same level from outside, which is over 60%.
Exploiting one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses is the core of Wang Shuo's offensive framework.
"Once Michael succeeds in successive attacks in the low post, the opponent will definitely hinder him by double-teaming and going around." Then Wang Shuo said while playing with the tactical magnet.
Hearing this, Unseld replied: "At this time, our pitchers ambushing on the wings will get a chance."
“Of course, we still need to complete the specific offensive details and routines during team training in the summer.
Now moving on to the defensive framework, when the team is defending, I need a player who can swing both forward and on the wings. Wang Shuo said after taking two more magnets and placing them on them.
In April 2001, the NBA officially legalized zone defense.
However, due to the existence of the defensive three seconds, the NBA version of zone defense can still only be called a pseudo zone defense.
In Wang Shuo's view, part of the reason why the prodigy Joe in his memory was not efficient enough was because he didn't know how to paddle.
There is no way, as a star who played in the 1980s and 1990s, and the current version of the NBA places great emphasis on defense, so let alone Jordan, who is an old-school star, even the coaches of this period I haven't changed my mind yet.
This has nothing to do with whether the coaches in this period are smart or not, and whether they know how to adapt.
After all, until they witnessed Maxim's power in World War I, didn't British officers also believe that line infantry was still a tactic ahead of its time?
Then......
After the Germans shot 60,000 people in one day, do you think the British knew how to adapt?
To put it bluntly, what Wang Shuo wants to explain at this moment is the valuable experience gained by his predecessors through countless trials and errors.
The reason why Wang Shuo can express this defensive philosophy is not because he is smarter than his contemporaries, but because he comes from the future.
"Just like on offense, we need to have Michael in the post to deal with the other team's weak spots on the outside.
On defense, we also need this player who can swing at the front and on the wings to help Michael save energy. "
As Wang Shuo continued to play with the tactical magnet, a set of three-dimensional defensive tactics soon appeared in front of everyone in the office.
That is, by swinging on the defensive end, Jordan is shaken to the weak side.
When the opponent is stronger on the outside, swing Jordan to the power forward position, where Jordan can use his weight and experience to solve the vast majority of power forwards in this era.
When the opponent has a super power forward, Jordan is swung to the opponent's pitcher.
Before NBA pitchers complete the collective evolution of the future, most of the standard pitchers for each team at the moment are spot-up shooters like Steve Kerr.
In addition, the salary cap limit of this era also determines that every team will have shortcomings, and there cannot be a perfect team.
Therefore, in this way, Jordan can save more energy on the defensive end.
Because part of his defensive work will be borne by this player who can swing at the forward and back lines.
It's a pity that Stephen Curry is still a primary school student at this time, otherwise Wang Shuo would definitely say that he would call this defensive tactic the Stephen Curry tactic.
Protect our Jordan!
Basketball version of four guarantees and one!
"But, will this make me appear too timid in defense?" Jordan asked, looking at Wang Shuo with confusion.
No idea.
This is what most superstars of this era think.
When attacking, you must choose the toughest opponent to attack.
To defend, you have to pick the opponent’s toughest defense.
You cannot say that such ideas and concepts are outdated.
Because every era has a different understanding of basketball.
And it is precisely because of this understanding that from the 1990s to the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the NBA will usher in its most exciting 20 years.
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals, kings, of course they have to face the king.
Wang Shuo knew very well that after he laid out the general offensive and defensive framework, the next step was the key to "fooling" Michael Jordan.
He's going to make Michael Jordan an offer he can't refuse.
At the same time, this offer will in a sense block the way for many young people in the future.
"Michael, in your opinion, as far as you are concerned, what kind of personal data can be called qualified for the new season?" Turning to look at Michael Jordan, Wang Shuo at this moment seemed like a bird with its tail exposed. fox.
