"Remember, no matter how Brandon's hand feels in the second half, don't double-team him until necessary."

"Once his pass opens up the situation for other players on the Trail Blazers, it's a real disadvantage for us."

"And in the second half, the opponent will likely make some adjustments to the lineup and play style, so you need to adapt on the field by yourself."

"But one thing that won't change is that in the second half, as long as the defender you face is Steve or Sergio, you can attack these two people as much as you like."

"You did a very good job in the first half, and I hope you can maintain this aggressiveness in the second half and defend our victory at home."

During the halftime break, Stan Van Gundy also emphasized to the players again and again.

After all, this game is very important to Van Gundy. He took all the responsibility on himself because of the last incident, which made the management slightly dissatisfied with him.

If Van Gundy cannot lead the Magic to complete the rebound when the Magic team is in a complete lineup, then he is afraid that his position as coach can be said to be in danger.

NBA is such a semi-fair stage where opportunities and dangers coexist.

No matter what contribution a person has made to the team before, once he cannot continue to lead the team out of the quagmire, his final outcome will be to leave the court in disgrace.

It is precisely this seemingly cruel fact that those in NBA who can end their entire careers in one team look even greater.

"By the way, there is Dwight, you are the point. Greg may also be limited in the second half."

"This means that the Trail Blazers will most likely be Joel (Pulzbila) to serve in the second half."

"So after you go back in the second half, you can also make some adjustments on the offensive end. Of course, the inside line in this game is not our main tactic, so I hope you can still focus more on defense."

Howard was definitely a well-deserved star of the Magic during this period, so when there were some on-site tactics that were not based on Howard as the absolute axis, Van Gundy would communicate with Howard in a semi-arranged and semi-negotiable tone.

Otherwise, although Howard would not force Van Gundy to strike, if he was passive and slacking off on the court, it would be enough for Van Gundy to drink a pot of it.

This tactical change is also the best targeting of different teams, and from the coach's perspective, this is definitely the best arrangement.

However, the coach's idea is always an idea. Once you really want to practice these tactics, it is definitely an indispensable homework for the head coach to reconcile the relationship between himself and the stars.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are coaches and stars in NBA every year that eventually leads to the coach being dismissed.

It is also the main reason why coaches in the university league rarely want to coach in the NBA.

In the university league coach can be said to be a well-deserved boss, and he will be paid no less.

However, in the NBA league, it is far from enough for the coach to have a genius-like tactical concept. The most important thing is to reconcile the relationship with the stars.

I'm afraid that what Tyron Lu, who was later generations, did this very well.

Well?!What?!Tactical???Relationship??

Why is it so troublesome to be a head coach?!

Isn't it just to give the ball to James?!!

After returning from the second half, McMillan did make some adjustments to the lineup of the Trail Blazers.

Blake, who originally started in the first half, was transferred back to the bench after returning in the second half.

And while Blake was not present, McMillan did not use another point guard on the bench, Rodriguez.

Instead, the Lightning Fernandez was brought to the starting lineup in the second half, so that the Trail Blazers' point guard in the second half became Brandon Roy!!

Both Blake and Rodriguez were beaten by Su Jiu on the offensive end in the entire first half, which also made McMillan very distressed.

So after returning from the second half, McMillan also took risks, allowing Roy, who has good organizational skills to take the position of No. 1, and also mentioned Rudy Fernandez to the starting lineup.

While enhancing the defensive ability in disguise, it also increases the offensive ability on the field.

As for the substitute lineup that was invisibly weakened, there is no way to do so.

After all, you cannot have both fish and bear's paw. Since McMillan has made such adjustments, he must have understood the consequences very well.

Seeing the Trail Blazers' employment, Stan Van Gundy on the field couldn't help but frown.

Although the head coaches from all sides belong to different schools, they are always in the same way.

So looking at the first half of the game trend, Van Gundy had already thought that McMillan would definitely make some adjustments in the second half.

However, Van Gundy never expected that McMillan would choose to use Roy to play the point guard, and put on a lineup that strictly speaking does not have a point guard.

"Don't worry, Brandon is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 96 kilograms. Although this is a very standard No. 2 body shape, don't forget that Su will not suffer any physical loss when defending him."

"So don't have to worry. Let's take a look at the situation on the field first and then see if some adjustments need to be made."

Seeing his old friend Van Gundy standing on the sidelines and frowning, assistant coach Mondy also said to him immediately.

As Mondy said, Roy may have the advantage of height and weight when facing most point guards, but Su Jiu happens to be an extremely strong player in point guards.

With a height of 1.94 meters and a weight of 90 kilograms, Roy doesn't have too outstanding physical advantages.

So compared to the trouble on the defensive end, the real trouble is that Su Jiu cannot have the same crushing advantage as he faces Roy.

"I hope so. To be honest, I never expected that this guy Mike would actually bring Brandon to the No. 1 position in the second half."

"I just don't know if he is helpless or if he has always been hiding this trick. This is what I worry about the most."

When Van Gundy heard what his old friend Mondy said, he frowned and nodded.
