And this summer Roger’s task is to spend time studying the game tapes of European teams.

European tapes are different from American tapes, European tapes are more artistic and poetic.

Although they lack the direct impact and thrilling shouts of American tapes, they have their unique charm.

Roger found them visually appealing and increasingly enjoyed watching them.

Roger is learning how the point guards there play and how they accelerate fast breaks.

After all, next season he is going to be a true main controller.

This is the new role Roger needs to assume next season.

In previous seasons, Roger made some breakthroughs in ball handling and organizing, even achieving an average of 35+5+5 in the 99-00 season.

But he has never been regarded as a main controller; in fact, both the Hawks’ and Zen Master’s offense diminished the role of the so-called point guard, without a true main controller on the court.

Since Roger joined the Hawks in 1997, this team’s starting lineup never had a true point guard.

The first year, the Hawks’ three perimeter players were Roger, Pippen, Stevie Smith, and then it changed to Roger, Pippen, Pierce.

The role of the point guard was a character that disappeared in the Hawks.

But next season, this situation will change.

Mike D’Antoni’s seven-second offense can achieve speed without chaos because he has a very clear main controller in the fast break.

This is the most obvious difference from Old Nelson.

The mad scientist’s fast break resembles complete mayhem, where anyone can push the ball, anyone can hold the ball, running faster than the whirlwind Suns, advocating no move is the best move.

While Mike D’Antoni’s fast break revolves around that main controller for coordinated positioning and pulling.

In the Suns, this main controller is Nash.

In the Knicks, this main controller is Lin Shuhao.

In the Rockets, this main controller is Harden.

And in Atlanta, this main controller can only be Roger.

Paul Pierce doesn’t have Roger’s excellent passing vision, Scottie Pippen currently doesn’t possess ball-handling offensive threat and also can’t run fast anymore.

Michael Reed is a scorer, not a combo guard.

Only Roger can combine ball-handling threat, speed, and passing vision.

The only difficulty is, Roger has never served as a main controller, so he has to adapt to this role.

In previous fast-break counterattacks, the Hawks were actually playing relying on instinct.

But this year the team wants to actively speed up, actively find counterattack opportunities, relying on instinct alone is not enough.

Roger needs to watch and practice extensively this summer.

This is a new system for everyone in the Hawks, but Roger, as the main controller, has obviously more to do than others.

Considering the Hawks still have fairly good defense and outstanding half-court ability, Roger doesn’t necessarily have to achieve Nash-level main controller performance to lead the team to wins.

But at least he can’t be too bad.

If the seven-second offense doesn’t yield results, and the Hawks fail to raise the upper limit of offensive efficiency, then all the efforts made this summer will go to waste.

Once again, Roger becomes the key to the success or failure of the Hawks.

As training deepens, Roger finally experiences the joy of being the true GOAT.

Because he discovered when one always controls the ball in hand, data is incredibly easy to boost!

No matter whether we win next season, or if the ball is passed only at the last moment, just look at how pretty my data is!

Oh right, in the D’Antoni system, the main controller’s plus-minus value is also very high!

Absolutely flawless!

No wonder everyone loves being the ball-heavy core; this style of play is enough to cover up a player’s every incompetence.

This period of daily tape watching and practice continued for some time, during which TNT TV produced a show where they graded team owners amidst the Warriors’ acquisition turmoil.

When it came to the Atlanta Hawks, Charles Barkley unhesitatingly gave a score of 0.

Not only because he was disappointed by letting Big Ben go, but also due to disappointment in the internal power struggles within the Hawks’ ownership group.

“Who doesn’t know Ben Wallace’s value?

Any fool knows how important a Defensive Player of the Year is.

And all those shareholders are multimillionaires, fools can’t become multimillionaires.

Let us tell you the truth, the reason they let Ben Wallace go was to make Steve Belkin lose his stake.

If everyone agreed to renew the contract and keep Big Ben, then Belkin wouldn’t leave.

The other shareholders were willing to use this method to force Steve out for better control of the team.

So, it’s not because the Hawks’ management didn’t know Ben Wallace’s value, it’s all the result of internal power struggles.

And I can predict, this struggle is not over.

If this season the Hawks’ ownership group again behaves in ways that harm the team for power struggles, Roger might immediately turn around and leave!

Why did I give them a score of 0?

Because the program team told me negative scores weren’t allowed!

”

Though the “Flying Pig” Jazz has been a comic relief since entering television work, many of the things he says are actually true.

Ownership group power struggles sometimes will not hesitate to sacrifice the team to achieve their goals.

Later on, when Jeanie Buss and Jim Buss competed for control of the Lakers, they were willing to hurt the Lakers itself in their efforts to sabotage one another.
