Split: We must stick to our own style of play, we cannot change at will and must remain stable
6686 Sports November 6th NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers will face the Thunder at home today.
Before the game, Trail Blazers interim coach Split was interviewed by reporters and talked about the team's style.
The reporter asked: "In a game like the one against the Lakers, your shooting and ball control are not good. How will you minimize the disadvantages while maintaining the team's style?"
Split said: "We must stick to our own style of play and cannot change our style at will. We must maintain stability. Sometimes we will lose, but we cannot overreact to every loss or every possession. If we do that, everyone will go crazy. Change When the team plays, you have to give the players some time to adapt, otherwise you will be in chaos - it is crazy to adjust the rotation and change the plan temporarily in every game. So we must adjust carefully, even if it is not smooth like the last time we played against the Lakers, we must remain patient and trust our system and plan."
The reporter asked: "Is your defensive system deliberately designed to create mistakes for the opponent and play a disruptive style?"
Split. Said: "Yes, our guards emphasize putting pressure on attacking players. Not everyone can do this, but we do have some players with this kind of defensive talent."
The reporter asked: "Do you have any new experiences after watching the video of the game with the Lakers?"
Split said: "Yes. I feel that our sense of position on the court is not good enough, the enthusiasm of the guards is not high enough, and the overall guard activity is not up to standard. I We don't have enough respect for some of the guys on our team. We have to give it our all every night. We don't have the privilege of playing average and winning. You have to bring energy every game. And on the offensive end, I think we got it right. The shot opportunity just didn’t go in. Nights like this always happen, and we have to accept it, because there are nights when the ball just doesn’t go in, and that night was one of them.”
So far this season, the Trail Blazers have a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference.
