Hexion Observation 1: What are the characteristics of the debut? What is the coaching style of interim coach Split?

Compared to the defensive end, Split's tactical system may be bolder on the offensive end. He was the head coach of Paris Basketball Club last season, but because the Paris management asked Split to retain the dynamic offensive system established by former head coach Isalo, this is equivalent to strengthening Split's understanding of Isalo's system.

What is the Isalo system? This is a system that places great emphasis on "quick and dynamic offense". Isalo proposed a "3-to-3" concept, that is, switching from defense to attacking from beyond the three-point line within three seconds. Therefore, the Blazers become the league's first-paced team in the preseason with a high probability of Split's influence. It just so happens that Isalo was the assistant coach of the Grizzlies last season and was later promoted to the head coach. We can preview Split's offensive style from the Grizzlies' game mode and use of centers:

The above table is for the 25th game. Some key statistics of the Grizzlies ranking in the top 10 or bottom 10 on both offense and defense this season show that they are the team that least likes to play pick-and-rolls in the league. Their offensive development relies heavily on transition offense, ranking first in the league in transition production, ninth in efficiency, and first in rhythm. At the same time, they attach great importance to the rapid transfer of players and the ball. The ball transfer speed and player movement speed on the offensive end are both sixth in the league, and the defensive end movement speed is first in the league. In addition, their fast style will generate a large number of wide-open 3-point opportunities. This is a point that Hexion needs to focus on, especially during the fast break process, learn the skill of "post-attacking and shooting 3-pointers at the top of the arc".

Judging from the offensive and defensive data of the Grizzlies center, this offensive system is a mixed blessing for Hexion. The worry is that because the offensive end is very fast, the center's number of touches in the frontcourt is significantly lower than the average. This also results in the center having very few assists and being unable to take advantage of Hexion's support ability. But the good news is that this tactical system places great emphasis on space and shooting, and the shooter inside will get a lot of three-point shots. Therefore, we see that the shooter inside Hufu's number of sports shots is much higher than that of the high-ranking rookie Edie! For Hexion, if you want to contribute on the offensive end, you really need to practice three-pointers.

In addition, on the defensive end, the Grizzlies center's frame protection will be higher than the average center level. This is because the center is usually the player farthest from the penalty area on the offensive end under the fast pace, so they need to retreat to the penalty area as soon as possible to stop the opponent's speed. Attacking, thus gaining a lot of opportunities to protect the frame. This is where Hexion can display its ability to protect the frame and block shots~~

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The sudden change of head coach may seem unfavorable to the team, but it may also be a very good turning point. Gold will shine wherever it is. For Hexion, the most important thing is to maintain self-discipline, patience, and continuous progress. When the coach calls your name and steps onto the court, be prepared to calmly play your own strength. Keep up the good work, young Chinese!
