I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 72

"Huo Song, you can play tougher. Don't be afraid to attack just because O'Neal is under the basket!"

During the intermission, John Hammond was obviously not satisfied with Huo Song's performance in the first quarter.

The shooting percentage of inside players attacking at the basket is definitely different from that at mid-range.

Let's talk about Huo Song, according to the data, Huo Song shot 64.4% of the shots at the basket, 45.6% of the short shots, and 38.5% of the mid-range shots.

On the contrary, because there are not many three-pointers, and they are basically open, they have a 46.2% hit rate.

Huo Song averaged more than 20 points per game, but his shooting percentage was only 52.4%.

If it is an outside player, with such a shooting percentage, and can average 20 points per game, it is definitely a superstar level.

But as an inside player, such a shooting percentage is quite common.

In fact, Huo Song's scoring efficiency is more like the data of a power forward than a center.

You must know that for a big center like O'Neal who plays hard at the basket, the mid-range distance at the basket is usually above 75%.

Because some close-range shots and mid-range shots were taken, which lowered the shooting percentage, the overall shooting percentage dropped to about 60%.

Generally speaking, the all-star center shoots 60%, the star center shoots 57%, and the regular starting center shoots 55%.

Huo Song is the No. [-] pick. If he can only play at the level of a regular starting center, it means that he is already in trouble, let alone he has not passed the standard of a regular starting center.

Some people may think that it doesn't matter if the shooting percentage is lower in the first year of a rookie.

But the problem is that there is no rush to cultivate insiders.

Since the shooting percentage is not high, then reduce the production and shoot some more confident shots, such as alley catches, such as transitions, and air cuts.

Offensive insiders and offensive skills are all learned from the basket, and the shooting rate at the basket cannot be guaranteed, so what about other aspects of training?
Huo Song's problem on the offensive end is that he can do everything, but he is not good at anything, and even a little soft.

Judging from the data alone, it is indeed very good.

But if he continues to cultivate like this, he may experience a serious injury, and Huo Song will no longer be good.

John Hammond had high hopes for Huo Song, but he didn't think so long.

Now John Hammond is very anxious, mainly because he wants to keep his job.

If the Pistons can win the Lakers today, then most of the hope will fall on Huo Song.

Before Huo Songkong scored 22 points, he hit the inside line countless times, and his performance was nothing short of amazing.

But if he made a soft mid-range shot like today, John Hammond would rather watch Big Ben and Campbell fight on the inside.

Mid-range shots usually can't kill the game, but dunks at the basket can quickly boost morale.

John Hammond needs Huo Song to ignite the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of other players.

But Huo Song only wanted to help the team win the game by scoring.

As a rookie, Huo Song didn't understand very well.

After being said a few words by John Hammond, he didn't pay much attention to it, and still wanted to play the game in the way he was familiar with.

In the second quarter, Huo Song hit the basket more times than in the first quarter, after all, he played longer.

However, after O'Neal returned to the court, Huo Song was not so determined to hit the basket, and passed the ball many times.

Attracting defense and then relying on the ability of teammates to win the game is also a way to win.

I have to say that Huo Song played more reasonably and as a team.

With the help of Huo Song, who made 10 of 6 shots and 2 of 1 free throws in the second quarter, with 13 points in a single quarter, the Pistons not only failed to be opened by the Lakers, but took a 3-point lead.

Huo Song thought that he would last until the fourth quarter today, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten violently in the third quarter.

Obviously Hamilton feels warmer and can help the team score intermittently, but the Pistons are best at defense, and the Lakers have no good way.

Maybe Kobe can help the Pistons, but the current F4 configuration of the Lakers, one person can't do it, and the other three are on top.

And Payton's old qualifications can sometimes ignore Kobe, which is very important.

The Pistons need Kobe so much!But if Payton doesn't give Kobe the ball, the Pistons can't beat the Lakers.

You know, Kobe, who can't catch the ball, is extremely grueling on the defensive end as soon as he is determined to win.

Hamilton's newly recovered feel was shattered by Kobe again.

Billups just became one of Payton's because of his youth, and Kobe also took the time to help Payton wipe his ass on the defensive end, making Billups more physical contact and making it harder to jump inside.

After three quarters, the Pistons lost the Lakers by 9 points.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and under the gloom, Huo Song, who got a chance to play in the fourth quarter, couldn't bear the pressure.

This time Hunter, Okur and others also pulled their hips. In the third quarter, Huo Song made 3 empty shots, and even the last 20 was difficult.

When the point difference reached 17 points, the Lakers took the initiative to remove all starters.

Huo Song was replaced and rested for 2 minutes, and then went to the field to check his statistics.

However, at the end of the game, Huo Song still didn't score 20 points, and only scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

"This sucks, Larry Brown is probably coming back."

After the match, Huo Song had expectations in his heart.

In just one week, the Pistons were double-killed by the Lakers, and with the upcoming return of Devil Bishop Larry Brown, the Pistons locker room was clouded, and almost no one spoke.

When Da Ben came back from the interview, he just looked at Huo Song, and didn't expect to say anything to Huo Song.

Big Ben naturally knew that Larry Brown had been unhappy with Huo Song for a long time.

Next, Larry Brown will return to coach the Pistons. Huo Song, an amazing player who averages 20+ per game, may be on the bench.

Da Ben felt sorry for his younger brother and worried about Huo Song's future.

But when it came time to comfort him, Da Ben didn't know what to say.

Not knowing where to start, Da Ben thought for a while, but sat beside Huo Song and kept silent, not letting Huo Song think about the bad things in the future.

After John Hammond accepted the post-match interview and returned to the locker room, the atmosphere in the locker room froze instantly.

The Pistons expected John Hammond to throw a tantrum, and everyone braced for the next storm.

However, John Hammond did not lose his composure, nor did he criticize the players.

"It's all my fault that I couldn't inspire everyone's full strength.

In fact, the consecutive losses to the Lakers can be regarded as a wake-up call for us in advance.

We want to win the championship, there are still many things to do, and the efforts we have made are far from enough.

Well, too much for me to say.Some things you should have already guessed.

There is still a period of time to come, let me continue to accompany you to the end! "

John Hammond did not come back with the players who were interviewed after the game like Big Ben, which means that for a period of time, John Hammond also dealt with other things.

Now that John Hammond can talk about these things calmly with the players, it also shows that when dealing with the previous things, John Hammond has let go.

It's true, the game with the Lakers has just ended.Before the game, the Pistons didn't think they would lose consecutively to the Lakers.

Now I am sure that I can't beat it. I want to go to the west to invite the Tathagata Buddha. It will take a while for him to come back, not just Cao Cao.

The schedule has already been determined. After the game against the Lakers, Huo Song will go to Memphis to play the next game back to back.
