NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker

In the afternoon it was tactical training.

Unlike most college teams that build their teams on defense, Alford is a very extreme offensive head coach.

He also believes that the mainstream trend of basketball in the future must be to develop in the offensive direction, because the personal abilities of players are generally much stronger than in the last century.

In other words, it will become increasingly difficult for people like those in the last century who did not understand any basketball knowledge to rely on their strong bodies to establish themselves in the NBA or even become All-Stars.

Alford arranged a lot of internal and external tactics for the team, and also emphasized defensive counterattacks.

What surprised him was that no matter what tactics he deployed, Zhang Jun could always understand and understand them quickly, and he never made a single mistake in his movements on the field.

Whether it is the timing of movement or the defensive prediction of the opponent, Zhang Jun can always grasp it very well.

Compared with another newly joined player, Love seems much normal.

Although he can also understand tactics, his movement, pick-and-roll and timing are always somewhat unsatisfactory.

After all, most high school students relied on their body and talent to play in previous games and rarely followed tactics. Therefore, high school students will make some tactical mistakes in their first year of college.

"Zhang Jun's basketball IQ surprised me a little, and even his breakthrough seemed a little weaker at this time." Alford couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Jun's increasingly outstanding performance gave Alford the feeling of winning a lottery ticket.

Just like those teams participating in the NBA draft, when they finally made up their mind to select a player they were satisfied with with a high pick in hand, they were originally worried about whether the opponent could successfully play in the NBA, but found that the opponent He was so criticized on the court.

This feeling of pride and satisfaction is beyond the comprehension of most people.

………

Alford arranged group confrontations in the following days, and Zhang Jun's performance on the court satisfied him more and more.

He also began to think about UCLA's first opponent team in the new season.

The NCAA regular season is divided into competitions outside the competition area and competitions within the competition area. In terms of time, the competition time outside the competition area starts from the beginning of November and ends at the end of December.

Rival schools have to make appointments on their own, and who can be appointed depends on their ability. The only requirement is that they must make appointments with teams outside the division.

A strong team can make appointments with weak teams in other divisions to find a feeling of winning, or it can make appointments with strong teams in other divisions to test its quality.

A weak team can also make appointments with the top players in other divisions to seek exposure and challenge. It can also make appointments with weak teams to improve its record and strive to enter the league championship game.

In two months, each team will play 14 to 16 games.

From January to February, there is a civil war in the division.

Each team has to play against the teams in the division once, and some even have to play home and away games.

In two months, each team must play at least 16 to 18 games in the division, which must be enough.

In other words, there are about 34 games in the entire regular season. After all competitions are over, the top 8 teams with the best records in their respective leagues will compete in the league championship game.

“Are we really going to play Georgetown in our first out-of-conference game?”

West Germany are not too satisfied with the arrangement of the upcoming first game outside the division.

Although Georgetown University is only a church university, it is obviously not on the same level as nationally ranked comprehensive schools like UCLA.

But the university excels in sports, especially its men's basketball program.

They have cultivated famous NBA super centers such as Patrick Ewing, Mutombo, Mourning, etc. They also cultivated a short point guard who has influenced the world - Allen Iverson.

Therefore, even though Georgetown University is ranked hundreds of places in the QS World University Rankings, it is a well-known strong team in the NCAA basketball program and one of the top 25 NCAA all-star universities.

West Germany believed that the first opponent Alford found for the Bruins was too strong. Even the strong teams that are very outstanding this year would not find such a strong opponent in the first game.

Alford nodded and admitted: "Georgetown is indeed a strong team, but that was only in the past."

"In the past few years, Georgetown University has failed to reach March Madness twice. Once it entered the top 64 and was eliminated in the first round, its best result was to reach the top 32."

"I watched their game videos in recent years, and their head coach John Thompson III is not a mediocre person. He is very knowledgeable in arranging offensive and defensive tactics and training players."

"The reason why Georgetown University's performance has not been very good in recent years is because of the players."

John Thompson III's father, John Thompson II, is a famous NCAA coach. He coached at Georgetown University for a total of 27 years, leading the team to the Sweet Four 8 times and the NCAA Finals 4 times, and in 1984 Won the NCAA championship year.

John Thompson II has also trained star players such as Ewing, Mourning, Iverson, Sleeper Floyd, and Dikembe Mutombo in the past 27 years.

Compared with his old father, John Thompson III's luck was much worse.

The young players he recruited for the team either lacked talent or suffered from injuries at a young age. Some of them were weak in character and lacked fighting spirit and could not adapt to the intensity of the NCAA competition, which made it difficult for the team to improve.

West Germany speculated: "So the coach is interested in Georgetown University. Although it has a good coaching team, it does not have a strong player base."

"They become our first opponent, which allows the young players to adapt to the NCAA's game rhythm in advance and helps them quickly gain game experience."

Alford nodded, that was indeed what he thought.

Although Georgetown University's offensive and defensive tactics are not yet at the top of the NCAA, they are at least among the best.

It's just that the strength and talent of their players are not strong, and it is difficult to fully utilize the power of these tactics.

But such excellent tactical arrangements and player cooperation can allow the Bruins players to adapt to the strong team's game rhythm in advance.

In the NCAA, in addition to the unbeatable super players, tactics often have a greater impact on the game than the players themselves.

“Of course, Georgetown University’s willingness to accept our invitation also has a purpose.”

"The core of their team, Jeff Green, averaged 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season and was selected to the All-Big East Second Team."

"What's more important is that Georgetown University welcomed the transfer of Patrick Ewing Jr., the son of their legendary gorilla Patrick Ewing."

"Both of them are very outstanding players on the defensive end, and the defensive front line they form will definitely become a nightmare for many teams."

"So Georgetown is also eager to compete with us to see where its strength lies this season."

"After all, we lost three core players at the same time this summer, and our strength has dropped significantly."

“We’re a good stepping stone for them as well.”

Alford took a deep breath and said.

He could have arranged for the UCLA Bruins to play the first game against a very weak opponent to boost the players' confidence, but he did not do so.

Because what Alford wants is never just a victory in a game, the history of the UCLA Bruins always reminds him that he must chase the glory of his ancestors!
