Not every story of golden gotiema has a Hollywood movie-like happy endings, but we should remember what the main characters of the story did in the highlight moment.
For example, the Jazz in reconstruction won again, and the warm-blooded start of 6 wins and 2 losses made the all-Alliance a profile. After the marcanin European Championship, it seemed to be enlightened. Conley was old and strong. Clarkson developed the organization. Sexton walked out of the shadow of the big injury. Olynick became all purpose balm and Malik Beasley turned back.
It seems that only Taren-Horton-Tucker, who was once Pelin catambo, performed much lower than expected.
Will Jazz start with a flash in the pan? Maybe. With the improvement of the schedule difficulty and the adjustment of self-orientation, the moment when the Jazz winning rate declines or even plummets will come sooner or later, and they are doomed to have no happy ending in this transitional season.
But, so what? Who wouldn’t appreciate a team that plays in the right way, makes surprises frequently and has bright prospects in the future?
After leaving Michelle and Gobel, the Jazz did become a talented and mediocre team, but they also transformed into a team with more modern lineup, playing style and pursuing a reasonable team. Jazz may lose a lot of games, but their games will bring fans a pleasant feeling like Spurs. Because the youngest manager will Hardy has branded the concept of Spurs team basketball on this jazz.
In the 2022 offseason, Snyder handed over Sir pointer, and the Jazz interviewed many candidates, including former pioneer coach Stotz, the Dragon Assistant Professor Adrien Griffin, a coach with good reputation and rich experience in the industry. But when the Jazz announced the result of the coach selection, everyone was shocked. Danny Anji chose a young coach who had no experience as an NBA manager in 2013. Hardy defeated many opponents and became the winner.
Although Hardy was favored by some media as a coach as early as 2018, no one expected that Hardy, who was only 34 years old, could complete the promotion from assistant to manager so quickly.
Hardy once played in the little-known Williams University during his college days. He just played NCAA level 3 league. In his senior year, he entered the final with the team but failed to win the championship. Hardy’s style in the player era was selfless and liked passing. When he graduated from college, he was recommended to Spurs as a video analyst. Later, Hardy was promoted to the teaching assistant group in Popovich baby. Hardy taught Spurs in the summer league in 2016 and worked as a teaching assistant for four years in Spurs. In the men’s basketball World Cup in 2019 and the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Hardy was taken as a teaching assistant when coaching the US team Popovich baby.
Last season, Hardy served as a teaching assistant in the Celtics. Wu ducurno led the team to the finals, which was highly praised. However, in fact, Hardy was equivalent to the co-manager around Wu ducurno. In the formulation of the attack and defense tactics of the Celtics against opponents, hardy played an important role, and he also controlled the technical and tactical adjustments before and during the match. Although Hardy is young, he is already a tactical master.
Of course, to be an excellent coach is not enough to understand tactics. Most of the time, the ability to deal with people is more important, and this ability Hardy is not short. At Celtics, Hardy won the trust of players including Tatum and they were willing to accept their guidance. Hardy is honest and open, which is an essential quality for being a coach.
When Hardy signed the five-year contract, he was not sure what kind of team he would take over. Although Jazz had the will to rebuild at that time, but after all, the two stars have not been sent away. At the beginning of the new season training camp, Hardy met with his disciples for the first time. There were no Mitchell or Gobel among the players who appeared in front of him. It was not too much to say that it was a mess. Hardy is not even sure which of these players will stay and which will be sent away in the near future.
Hardy didn’t think about the future. He only had how to instill his tactical ideas and transplant team basketball like Spurs to jazz. In terms of team temperament, Hardy emphasizes toughness, sacrifice and passion. In terms of playing style, Hardy’s philosophy is selflessness, space and defense.
After Gobel was sent away, Jazz No. 5 was empty. The rookie Kessler was talented online but lacked experience, which made it difficult to hold up the inside line for the time being. Jazz did not deliberately introduce another starting center. Hardy’s approach was to let Vanderbilt, who was 2 meters tall and had no projection ability, serve as the actual starting center, let the 2-meter 11 olinik and the 2-meter 13-meter marcanin open the space. In addition, Conley, Clarkson and Sexton, the three players who took off the ball and the shooter Malik Beasley, jazz can put on four players with projection ability at any time, most of the time they even play “five foreign tactics”.
“When I look at this lineup, I think we are a team with excellent offensive skills. We have many players who can fengshui ball, pass and shoot, and they can play in different positions,” Hardy said.
“Especially when we put olinik and marcanin on the court at the same time, our opponents will use the center to defend against them, and our defenders will get more space. We don’t have many players who are good at singles, so we want to involve multiple players in the attack and give full play to the advantages of our squad.”
Hardy turned the Jazz into a team with simple and clear Play. They found the best shot by constantly shifting the ball. The average number of passes per game was more than 30 times more than last season. Their average three-point shot League 1, average three-point hit League 2, average assist league 5, average receive the ball three-point shot league 6, hand-handed attack League 9. In addition, the jazz field all broke through, surrounded the cover attack, and the fixed point goal attempts all entered the top five of the league. In almost all the statistics of “team basketball”, there are jazz in the top ten.
“Simple and clear” does not mean that there is no nutrition. In fact, jazz combines a large number of complicated tactics in the simplified overall style. For example, ollinick lore Pelican World War I, ollinick arch top receive the ball, the Jazz created ollinick’s chance to misplace the singles mccolum with a single interspersed position between three people. Exquisite tactical arrangement and tight tactical execution are amazing.
On the defensive end, the Jazz in the past relied too much on Gobel, but now they have become all soldiers. Jazz has a large number of defensive aids, and their outside defensive aggressiveness has improved significantly. There is only one team in the league that steals and enters the top five cap. This team is jazz. Without Gobel, the Jazz could still suppress the shooting rate in the opponent’s basket at 60%, the fifth in the league.
Although the outside world thinks that the Jazz will be a participant in the “wenbanyama Cup”, The Jazz is not interested in collecting wenbanyama fragments at present. Sexton said, “We have heard the comments outside, but we all have a lot to prove that we want to shock the world.”
This is the truth. Reconstruction does not mean that it is rotten. After the reform of lottery lottery system, the probability of the three teams with the worst record getting the first prize is 14%, and the probability of the teams with the fifth difference is 10.5%, it is only guaranteed to get a top five ranking selection right, instead of the first prize signing, to lose the ball deliberately and get the worst record.
Of course, the temptation of Wen Banya Ma and Henderson is real. Now it is only the beginning of the season, and the Jazz still has enough time to turn around. Conley, gay, ollinick and Clarkson have all improved their trading prices recently. Once a team offers an offer that the Jazz cannot refuse, the Jazz will still send combat capability for future chips. By then, Jazz’s record and ranking will inevitably decline linearly.
But that is what may happen in the future. No one can predict the future. It is good to enjoy the present and appreciate the present. At least for now, jazz is still playing with the most suitable style for basketball and winning.
“You said we would lose (very miserable), didn’t you?” Hardy said, “at least we haven’t.”
