Chapter 80 I'm Not Interested in Data
Under the darkness, the fans in Philadelphia are still cheering for the home team, while Phoenix in the West Eighth District is still in the afterglow of the setting sun. A long-haired white man has just finished his daily training and is preparing to go home. His own mustache head coach A phone call stopped him.

"Come to the general manager's office, there's a very interesting guy here, I think you should come and see, Steve."

When he came to the president's office, Nash thought there was some "new tea", but he only saw the team's general manager Colangelo Jr. and D'Antoni surrounding the TV.

Little Colangelo didn't say anything when he saw Nash coming, but just waved to him and motioned him to come and sit down.

The new tea hasn't come yet, or is there any new tea ready to trade?
With doubts, Nash sat over and watched the game on the screen - the Heat and the 76ers, and he understood what it was.

There is not much time left in the game. Looking at the time on the side of the screen, there are 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

"Now you are number one in assists, and that second-year Chinese player is number two." D'Antoni pointed to the handsome boy on the screen and said.

"I remember him, the sixth man who won the Pistons championship last year. I remember that Mr. Colangelo still wants to trade him in the summer?" Nash turned to look at Colangelo.

Colangelo nodded and said: "Yeah, I wanted to trade him in the summer, but that bastard Dumars asked for too much, and they dared to ask me for two starters with one year left on their contract." The draft, so I hesitated at the time, and then we took Quentin (Richardson) instead, but honestly, I'm kind of regretting it now."

"Don't be too greedy, one person with double assists per game is enough, if there is one more, no one else will dribble, right?" D'Antoni shook his head and laughed.

"We don't need him to handle the ball in the starting lineup. We need his off-ball ability, shooting ability, ball transfer ability, and defensive ability. And with him, our second team's offensive organization can also be guaranteed. What a pity, what a pity."

Jr. Colangelo knows the ball. The current lineup of the Suns is built by him. In addition to Nash, it includes Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire, and Lagabel who will make an important contribution to the Suns' defense next year. They were all signed or traded by Colangelo Jr.

"It's all in the past. If you can't buy regret medicine, let's watch the game first." D'Antoni said in relief.

At present, the Suns have 8 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league, averaging 11 points more than their opponents per game, and also ranking first in the league. This is not enough, so how should other teams deal with themselves?

On the screen, the Heat had overtaken the score, and Wade was off to rest. Now the Heat are led by O'Pang and Mo Wen, who rested in the first half of the third quarter.

When Wade was away, the Heat focused on the high pick-and-roll, but it was not O'Pang who mentioned the high screen, but Haslem.

Although the screen quality of Ao Pang's size is definitely at the historical level, except for key shots, no one will want to bring Ao Pang up. His starting speed is too slow, and the pick-and-roll speed is similar to that of a tractor.And in any case, the most intimidating place for Ao Pang is under the basket, whether it is attracting defense or fighting for rebounds.

Although the 76ers knew that Mo Wen was going to play a pick-and-roll, they were not easy to defend. Rasul and Wade Damon Jones were ambushing in the corners on both sides. They all made three-pointers tonight. Going short, and O'Neill's position at the bottom also prevented them from slacking off inside, and the entire space was quite wide.

And when this kind of space appears, Nash can guess the next plot.

If the pick-and-roll does not switch, Mo Wen has space to shoot, but if he switches defenses, Haslem can make an air cut, and Mo Wen can also make a small breakthrough. O'Neal on both sides or under the basket is also a scoring opportunity.

This kind of lineup belongs to the suppression of the lineup. It is similar to the Suns. It is either a pitcher or a frame-rushing monster. Even positional warfare can achieve a good offensive success rate without too complicated tactics.

After Wade came on the court in the fourth quarter, Mo Wen assigned some of the ball-holding tasks to Wade, but it didn't reduce his sense of presence.

Whether it's his obviously routine interaction with Wade on the perimeter, or his reappearance of organizational options when the tactics can't be opened, Nash's eyes shine.

Looking at Mo Wen's 17 points and 13 assists after the game, D'Antoni couldn't help but nodded.

"Although this data is a bit watery, I have to say that his sense of smell and response in positional warfare are really terrible."

"Don't look at me, my hands are itchy right now, I just want to know when we can play with the Heat." Nash spread his hands.

Colangelo took a schedule book from the side.

"December 12th, um, I remember this day is when the All-Star voting starts, tsk, Steve, you have to be prepared, how ugly would it be to be overthrown by a sophomore later on?.

······
"Evaluation? How else can I evaluate, without Mo, the victory in this game will definitely be won by us, brother, how can I evaluate a second-year player who averaged double figures in assists per game? He has already shown top control Wei’s traits are gone, and the rest only needs time to accumulate records.”

Iverson, who scored 40+ in the air, said helplessly facing the camera that he planned to urge the management to find him a helper later.

After so many years, he has had enough of struggling alone.

"Congratulations, Mo. After this game, your assists per game have reached double digits. Do you have anything to say?" A reporter asked at the press conference.

"Actually, it's all teammates who play well. If you think about a team that has an inside monster like Shaq, a talented guard like Wade, and a bunch of shooters with accurate shots, all I need to do is Stretching the floor and passing the ball, I just do what I do."

Mo Wen said modestly, it's not that he can keep a low profile, he knows how much water is in his statistics, and he can feel the scorer's "love" for him in the first few games.

Wade and O'Pang contributed half of his assists, but they are not pure catch and scorers. They are more used to dribbling after receiving the ball, adjusting to their favorite rhythm, and then launching the attack to finish. If it is someone else It definitely doesn't count as an assist, but the scorekeeper counts it for him.

If this situation only happened at the Heat's home court, it would be fine. The scorer at the Heat's home court is a girl, which can be explained as being addicted to his masculinity.

But he can also have this kind of preferential treatment in the away game, so the problem is also very clear.

"Then are you interested in being the assist leader? Now besides you, Nash is the only one who has double figures in assists." A reporter next to him continued to ask.

"No, I'm not interested in statistics. My happiest time is when I hold ordinary statistics and work as a substitute for the Pistons."

"I'm just an ordinary player, nothing special, at most I pass the ball a little better."

"Cutting down good data is just a incidental thing. The proportion of happiness that data brings to me may not even be 5%."
