The joining of Iverson made the Timberwolves team once again reborn.
Even though Iverson's running-in time with his teammates is still very short, and the main tactics of the Timberwolves are also very unfamiliar, but Iverson has won the trust of the head coach by virtue of his outstanding personal ability.
On the second day after joining the team, Luke allowed Iverson to play some individual singles regardless of tactics on the court.
There is no other reason, because the Timberwolves' current main offensive method can only be placed on Iverson.
And Luke deeply experienced the happiness of "Zen Master" Jackson and Tyronn Lue through the Spurs game.
Although the concept of free basketball was not first brought into the court by "Zen Master" Jackson, it was carried forward by "Zen Master" Jackson.
No matter how the players on the court are playing, Zen Master rarely calls a timeout, and more often allows the players to make adjustments on their own, even if the player's style of play has deviated from his tactical arrangements.
As long as the team can win, Luke feels that it doesn't seem to matter what method is used.
This is exactly the difference between Luke and most coaches in the league. The coaches of each team often hope that they can dominate everything, have more say in the team, and let the players play every game according to their own requirements.
Among them, Popovich, Rick Carlisle and others are typical controlling coaches, who have extremely high requirements on team discipline and main tactics on the field.
The most annoying thing is that players don't play according to tactics on the court.
However, the young Luke does not have such an old-fashioned thinking. The offensive tactics are to make the team more smooth on the offensive end and avoid wasting time in embarrassing scenes of overlapping positions.
But when the way players play on the court is more difficult to defend than tactical moves, Luke really can't find a reason to be angry.
Iverson, like Kobe, is a player who needs to attack with the ball to play the greatest threat.
And Iverson's excellent offensive ability can attract the opponent's defense, thus creating a lot of space for other players.
If you want to make Iverson more comfortable in the team system, you must find a way to improve tactics around Iverson instead of integrating Iverson into the Timberwolves' offensive system.
No one knows this more clearly than Luke. Luke has seen too many failed cases of star alliances, and also seen too many combinations where one plus one is less than two.
So after Iverson joined the team, Luke gradually began to blur the offensive system, allowing players to evolve more offensive options around the horns on the court.
Even playing a change that has nothing to do with the bull's horn attack.
Every offensive round on the court changes rapidly, and no one can strictly move according to rigid tactics.
In Luke's eyes, as long as he can score, it is a good offense. If he can't transform his tactics into scoring, no matter how sophisticated his tactics are, they are just a piece of rubbish.
…………
In the last few games at the end of November, the Timberwolves fought more and more bravely, and successively defeated many teams led by the Phoenix Suns, improving the team's record to 11 wins and 15 losses, and won five consecutive victories in the season.
Entering December, the Timberwolves are still in a brave state. Not only did Allen Iverson's performance not disappoint the fans, but also surprised Luke.
Luke is well aware of how terrifying offensive firepower Iverson possesses, but Luke did not expect that Iverson could be so compatible with the team, playing like a fish in water.
It seems that the team lineup formed by the Timberwolves in the off-season before is waiting for Iverson's arrival.
As of mid-December, the Timberwolves have improved their record to 12 wins and 21 losses, regaining the top position in the league.
在此期间，加盟森林狼的艾弗森场均能够轰出33.7分2.6篮板5.1助攻以及2.4次抢断，其中投篮命中率为46.2%，三分球命中率则为30.7%。
Iverson's powerful offensive firepower can be perfectly displayed through the data. Even if the three-point shooting rate is still as bad as ever, only in the early [-]s, no one dares to put Iverson two steps away for defense.
Due to the difficult defensive treatment Iverson encountered on the court, this also caused Iverson to often make some strong shots against the defense.
Iverson's official height is only 1.8 meters three. In fact, it may be barely 1.8 meters. Therefore, when there is a defender in front of him, Iverson can hardly see the basket when shooting, and he can only try to shoot by feeling.
This is why Iverson's career shooting rate has not been high. In the past two years, Iverson's breakthrough speed has decreased due to knee injuries, so Iverson's main means of killing come from the emergency stop jumper after the breakthrough.
Iverson's shooting percentage on both sides of the free throw line is as high as 55%. The low shooting percentage is not because Iverson's wrist is stiff, but because the defense Iverson faces is too extreme.
If the opponent dares to make Iverson a two-step long shot from outside the three-point line, Iverson will definitely turn into Ray Allen every minute, making the opponent feel desperate.
There is no need to doubt Iverson's ability to resist pressure on the court. When facing a drop-and-shoot defense, a player like Wade will definitely become hesitant after missing three-pointers in a row, but Iverson will never see hesitation. Character.
No matter how bad Iverson's touch was before and how many shots he missed, as long as Iverson stands on the court and continues to hold the ball, Iverson's offensive confidence will never be affected.
Iverson was once called by fans as the superstar with the strongest ability to resist pressure in NBA history. No matter what kind of scene, Iverson's killer mentality cannot be disturbed.
The rock-solid mentality is not what Iverson was born with, but Iverson was forced to become a lone hero during the 76ers period.
The entire 76ers were so brilliant in the Eastern Conference back then. It was Iverson who carried the team on his shoulders alone. In order to make up for Iverson's lack of defense, the head coach often placed excellent defensive players in other positions.
This also led to the 76ers' offense having to be terminated by Iverson in many cases. Even if Iverson's hand feels extremely bad and the defense he faces is extremely abnormal, Iverson can only initiate the offense.
In the eyes of the fans, the 76ers' team building system is the trust in Iverson and the responsibility of Iverson, but at the same time, it is also the helplessness of Iverson.
The arrival of Iverson throughout December not only made the team better and better, but also liberated other players' anxiety on the offensive end.
Among them, the most profitable one is "The Beast" Artest. Before Iverson joined, the team's offensive burden was mainly placed on Garnett and Artest.
Once Garnett feels bad, Artest must stand up and take on the heavy responsibility.
Artest is a simple and rough player on the offensive end, either standing outside the three-point line as a fixed-point turret, or rampaging inside like a beast, directly using his body to complete one-on-one eating.
Letting Artest attack with the ball is not only a torture for the Timberwolves, but also for Artest.
After Iverson arrived, Artest completely liberated himself on the offensive end. Whether it was standing outside the three-point line to open up space, or cutting savagely to the inside, this was Artest's favorite style of play.
As long as Iverson lasts through halftime, the opposing team's defensive attention will subconsciously focus on Iverson. This offensive system is Artest's favorite environment.
Simple, rude, and mindless, Artest's offensive efficiency has also risen all the way, and he has now ranked first in the offensive efficiency list of strikers.
艾佛森加盟球队之前，阿泰斯特的场均数据为21.6分5.1篮板3.7助攻1.6抢断以及1.1次封盖，但投篮命中率却只有43%，三分球命中率更是只有32%。
与76人达成交易后，阿泰斯特的场均数据为16.3分6.2篮板3.5助攻2.7抢断以及1.9次封盖，其中投篮命中率高达55.6%，三分球命中率同样高达42.7%。
Although the scoring data has declined, Artest's overall efficiency is much higher, and his playing style on the court has become more comfortable.
Now that the time has come to mid-December, the league will usher in the Christmas battle in less than half a month.
The opponent of the Timberwolves in this year's Christmas War is the Miami Heat with an equally terrifying and deep lineup.
If it weren't for the Timberwolves' continuous reinforcements this season, the Heat's lineup would have the strength to crush and win the championship in any year, even if the Bulls won 72 wins, they would have to stay away.
It's a pity that the Heat met the even more peak Timberwolves in their peak period, and there is a kind of sadness that is both good and bright.
Fans have been looking forward to this matchup for a long time. Everyone wants to see what kind of sparks will burst out when these two historical teams meet, and will it allow fans to redefine the charm of basketball!
