As a well-known head coach of the NBA, George Carr once said: "Usually, the system of a team with a scoring champion is not healthy. "But after saying that, he added a little more." So far, the only successful teams in NBA history are Jordan and Curry. ”
Why would George Karl say that? Becoming a scoring champion is usually a dream that many NBA players dream of, but can not be sought. Faced with the different positions of players and managers, how does George Carr, as a manager, judge and analyze from his point of view?
1. First of all, basketball is a sport of 5 people, and each person has different functions on the field, but one is indispensable. Of course, some of them will take on the role of scoring commandos, but they can't emphasize excessive individual attacks, and if that is the case, it will be difficult for other players to participate in the attack.
2, fans who have experience in basketball games know that the ball is only in the hands of one person, he will definitely get a high score, but then other teammates will feel cold, to the key moment of the game once he is prevented from dying, others in the whole field feel cold, it is difficult to throw the ball into the basket and win the game.
3. If a player only wants to get a high score, get the title of scoring king. Then he needs a lot of ball power in the game, the ball is too concentrated in the hands of one person, and the team's operating system will be rigid. This makes it impossible for players with different characteristics to complement each other, and thus it is impossible to form effective team combat.
4, then a scorer, only focus on their own scores and ignore the feelings of teammates, will cause contradictions between players and locker room discord.
Therefore, from the coach's point of view, reasonable distribution of ball rights and ensuring the normal operation of the team system are the keys to winning. So why did George Carr mention jordan and Curry's two exceptions?
Jordan and Curry are in different basketball eras, their individual playing style and characteristics are different, but from the team's point of view and system, they have common, self-contained, tactical characteristics.
1. Curry and Jordan have different playing styles and characteristics, but they are players with their own systems. The two of them are themselves the basis and conditions for the formation of the team system.
2) Jordan and Curry are considered by many experts and fans to be the two most offensive players in the history of the NBA. Their super offensive ability does not need to be accumulated through too many shots. In the case of helping the team system work properly, the scoring champions are only a by-product of their wins.
3. Jordan and Curry have a strong psychological deterrent to the opposing team. As soon as the two men make a stop on the pitch, the opposing defender will panic. The higher the two of them scored, the more panicked the players on the opposing team became. In such cases, it will often open up the situation for the team and help the players of the team to quickly get into the state.
With the above analysis, it is not difficult to understand the words of George Karl. His meaning is clear: usually the team that has the leading scorer is because the leading scorer very much wants to carry the team forward by scoring high scores, or to get personal glory. But they did it and hurt the team. Only Jordan and Curry have their own system, and their high scores are only a by-product of the normal operation of the team system, not their deliberate pursuit.
