Team chemistry and game dominance: What is it and how to deal with it.
Team Astrology has to address this, not because it is an astrological issue but because it is a team chemistry issue. Astrology has much to do with dominance between players and teams.
In the discussion about planets, when one body is forced to change by another body, the body that move toward or in orbits is dominant and the one that changes it position is being dominated. The sun dominates the Earth, and the Earth dominates the moon. When a meteor or asteroid falls to Earth it is yielding to the dominance of the planet. So the one that is forced to change course is being dominated by the one that remains unfazed by the actions of others.
In sports this is observed all the time. Every team seeks players who can dominate their position. LeBron James can do whatever he chooses on the court and no one can stop him. In this way LeBron is special, few players are so unequaled at their position within an entire league, but in every game mismatches exist where one position player is clearly better than the opponent.
Game strategy depends on exploiting these mismatches and coaches choose the players for each game with this in mind. Sometimes the coach is the source of the mismatch as the game style and strategy can be difficult for the other team to play against. Being dominant allows a player or team to play the game their way and make the other team or player adapt, taking them out of the familiar role and forcing them to think about what they are doing, adding a few seconds to every choice and action.
It is not necessary for a team to dominate with better players. Teams dominate all the time because they play at a higher level, faster, smarter or more aggressively. After a game the loser will say "they wanted it more", or "we were not prepared", when aggressive play takes them out of their game plan. Getting the team "up" to play at a high level for every game can be the coaches biggest job during the middle of the season, and this is where team astrology makes a big difference. Players who have good chemistry (aspects between their charts) feed off of one another, because the energetic connection actually builds energy by being used on the court. This condition breeds dominance. The players feel it and love the action on the court, and they look forward to each game and the challenges to their abilities that it brings.
The Phoenix Suns professional basketball team exemplifies this. It has used faster and smarter play to become competitive in a league where great athletes are on every roster. So, although being dominant in one-on-one match ups can be hit or miss because of things like the timing of a pass or the position of a foot, making or breaking the advantage of size and skill, the Suns have decided to be dominant using speed, speed individually and mental reaction speed as a team, which takes their opponents out of their game and forces them to adapt. With only one point guard taking the ball down the court the opponents could harass and delay until their defense gets set up, negating the advantage of speed, as seen when Steve Nash would be confronted at the far end of the back court by two players, but with two fast point guards that are familiar with one another, the ability to trap the point guard in the back court is much harder. With three fast point guards the Suns can keep up a high speed tempo the entire game, forcing the opponent to exhaust their first team defenders, or fall woefully behind before the game is close to being finished.
The Suns will use the players added during the draft to good effect because their team style will minimize the advantage of one-on-one mismatches created by experience and skill from the other teams position players. TJ Warren in particular should greatly benefit from this high speed style because his transition game of close to the basket shots from all angles can fully exploit the seams between coverages as the other players set their spaces for the pass from the paint.
Taking the other team out of their game, making them react instead of acting on their own plan will add 7 to 10 victories for the Suns in the 2014-15 season. Expect the Suns to start strong and emphasize getting victories early in the season to cushion the late season competitiveness of the veteran laden teams with dominant position players.
