In recent games, although Stephen's average score has decreased, it has remained consistent with his playing time, which shows that his condition is still stable and has not been affected by anything. At the same time, the score changes with the change of playing time, and it also shows that his adaptability to the game has also remained stable.

The amount of playing time you give him, he can contribute as much data, regardless of who the opponent is. This performance is stable, efficient and magical. If Stephen just performs very well in a certain game, it is not terrible. What is terrible is that like him now, he can make such contributions in every game, and the more time you give him, the better his performance will be.

Calesimo's adjustment to the Supersonics has been discovered by many people. This is normal. Every coach has his own set and teaches on a team. If you don't leave anything with your own characteristics, you won't be a successful coach.

Calesimo is not a famous coach, but he has no obvious flaws. In general, he is the best choice when there is no choice. His excessive indulgence in Stephen has been criticized by many people, but the Supersonics' record shows that his approach is correct.

Now is the watershed of the team's record, and it is a very suitable time for him to adjust the team. Now, since the record has declined, it can basically be adjusted by the end of the regular season. There is no problem with the qualification of the playoffs. Even if there is no home advantage, the Supersonics are not a home-court team.

The team has no resistance to Calesimo's adjustment. The most affected adjustment plan now should be Robert Swift. The adjustment to him was only reduced part of his playing time and left more to Coupard, but his serious disagreement with the plan annoyed Calesimo. Calesimo took him and put him on the injury list, which benefited Nick Colinson.

Since Nick Colinson is also a member of the Supersonic Local Gang, this has left other local Gang players with no reason to confront each other. At the same time, after finding that their arms could not twist their thighs, most of the players changed their minds and did not plan to engage in non-violent non-cooperation sports.

Robert Swift, the biggest victim of the adjustment plan, sneaked into Caresimo's office one day when the team was not in a position. As for what he said to Caresimo, no one knew, but the next day, Caresimo released him from the injury list. Although he still did not put it into the rotation lineup, at least there was hope.

The adjustment plan of the Supersonics can only make more teams more afraid of them. One Stephen is not scary, but one Stephen who is dissolved in the whole team and tactics is much scary. Moreover, Stephen who can explode anytime and anywhere after physical adjustment is even more scary. Especially Stephen, who is alive and resurrected like a full of blood, appears in the fourth quarter, but his side is already half dead. Thinking of this situation, every head coach will have a headache for a long time.

After defeating the Phoenix Suns, the Supersonics returned to Seattle. Before the All-Star Game began, the Supersonics had only one game left. After a week, I don’t know how the league arranged the schedule. In general, there was no competition in the entire season for only the All-Star Game, but the Supersonics’ schedule showed a long gap.

If it weren't for the Uta Jazz challenge at home, the Supersonics could even have a long holiday so that players who don't have to go to the All-Star Game can rest well, but since there is still one game, the team cannot have a holiday, and Calesimo planned to take advantage of this time to get some new tactics in order.

The new tactics are still mainly Stephen, but they reduce the more physically consuming singles content and add pick-and-roll and screen cooperation. After all, they came from the Spurs. Although Calesimo does not have top inside players with IQ and ball maker strength like Duncan, they cannot play a full set of high-shot pick-and-roll tactics like the Spurs, but it is still no problem to draw some of them out of them.

According to the equipment of his players, Caresimo designed the tactics mainly for double high pick-and-rolls, with Cooperd and Wilcox taking turns to make pick-and-rolls for Stephen or Watson. Someone may ask questions. The Supersonics do not have players like Duncan and cannot play high pick-and-rolls, so how can they play double high pick-and-rolls?

In fact, the pick-and-roll tactic is just a tactic that can be turned on, it seems to be a very simple tactic, but Sloan relies on this tactic to keep the Jazz in the ranks of strong teams, while the Spurs won five championships with this set of high pick-and-roll, which is that the pick-and-roll is simple, but the subsequent changes in the pick-and-roll are extremely numerous and unpredictable.

For example, Tony Parker plays a pick-and-roll with Duncan. After Duncan blocks the defensive player for him, he faces the big inside, and can attack by himself or dismantle the ball to Duncan, and at the same time passes the ball to the periphery. There are many options for offense. After the ball is dismantled to Duncan, Duncan can attack by himself and shoot directly, because he faces a small player, and can also replace Parker to block the person, hand the ball to Parker for attack, or pass it to the open players outside.

For each different choice, multiple subsequent changes can occur. This is the role of tactics. Players choose different changes according to the situation. The ultimate goal is to get the opportunity to shoot misalign or open positions, or be closer to the basket. This is the real function of tactics.

The Supersonics are not as good as Duncan who can pass the ball well and attack both inside and outside, and the quality of pick-and-roll and consciousness are even more incomparable. At this point, even Garnett cannot be compared with Duncan. Although his assist data is more than Duncan, his passing skills seem to be higher than Duncan.

The pick-and-roll is not enough to lift up and block the defensive players. This is just the simplest pick-and-roll, but it is the simplest pick-and-roll. Many people can't play well, and the pick-and-roll can also be defended. Some players are good at defending the pick-and-roll, which is to predict your actions and bypass or cut through the blocking side in advance. Therefore, the timing, position and movement of blocking the person are very important.

This is not to mention the difficulty of dismantling. In the Spurs, Tony Parker and Jipabilli can play high pick-and-rolls with Duncan, and the styles of the two are very different. Therefore, although the Spurs are based in the league with defense, their offense is also extremely sharp.

If the defense focuses on them and chooses to double-team or assist in defense, the free players can easily receive passes from Duncan or Ginobili. Relatively speaking, Tony Parker's passing skills are good, but his consciousness is still a little worse than the two of them.

Bruce Bowen can easily get the opportunity to take action at the bottom corner. This is a very representative example. This is a very holistic system. Stephen is not unable to play this system, but he wastes other abilities. It takes a lot of effort to build this system from theory to player selection, so he is reluctant to give up on this system and switch to another tactic.

As long as Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker are among the three players, the other role players are well equipped. **Vic can also design the tactics that are most suitable for them based on the players' abilities and technical styles. Therefore, the Spurs' small business awareness is one reason, and **Vic believes more that the power of this system rather than the player's personal abilities is also one reason.

When the Spurs were on the Spurs, even if Duncan was not on the court, Robert Horry could sometimes play this tactic. Although his technical comprehensiveness and offensive deterrence are not as good as Duncan, it can help the substitute lineup last for a while. When he and Duncan appeared on the court at the same time, they would occasionally play this double pick-and-roll tactic.

There are many players involved in the high-end double pick-and-roll tactics, which is more complicated at the beginning stage, but there are not many subsequent changes and are suitable for ordinary players. Watson's ability to play pick-and-roll is also good. Although Wilcox and Cooperd are not as good as Duncan and Robert Horry, they are also middle-class and top-notch, and can barely realize this tactic of Calesimo.

Tactics and the player's personal abilities complement each other. Sometimes tactics serve the players, and sometimes players serve the tactics. Stephen's personal abilities are super, and the threat of his entry into the inside will naturally be greater than that of ordinary people. His defense must be strengthened. Whether it is double-teaming or assisting defense, there will be open spaces. If you do not do this, with Stephen's ability, it will be difficult for a single-on-one player, whether it is a big player or a small player, to defend Stephen.

So if the starting point of this tactic is Stephen, the focus is to block this step, and it doesn't matter if you do the pick-and-roll. No matter who you are using, it's OK. Due to Watson's lack of independent offensive ability, the pick-and-roll must be Wilcox, who has mid-range shooting ability, who has the ability to play pick-and-roll.

After all four of them participated in this tactic, Durant became Stephen's role in the Spurs. He could maneuver at will throughout the half, just in time to play his nimbleness and strong shooting ability. Durant himself was willing to play this role.

Since this tactic is very similar to the Spurs' tactics, during training, Stephen was responsible for the outside players and Robert Horry was responsible for the inside players. The two explained and demonstrated the changes, which was very good, which also opened the eyes of these players.

After six days of tactical training, the Supersonics ushered in the challenge of the Uta Jazz. As a team that started with pick-and-roll, the Uta Jazz's pick-and-roll defense is also very good. Now is the time to test the training results.
