full court guidance

Chapter 46

The news headlines across the United States are crazy. Late used an unbelievable performance to prove the dominance of three-pointers in basketball.

"Sports Illustrated" reported: Coach Van Gundy personally admitted that when Yao was injured and left the field, he originally thought the game was over and the Rockets' playoffs would also end. There has never been a 0:3 comeback record in the league, but He didn't expect that it was because of Yao's departure that Late's true strength was forced out. He dominated the game with three-pointers and left hope in Houston.

"Houston Daily" reported: Late never late!When the team needed him, Late was not late. He stood up at the critical moment and saved the Rockets. He is the superhero of Houston.

"Our superhero is getting tired and paralyzed!"

In the Rockets locker room, McGrady smiled and patted his late shoulder, his face full of joy.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for his desperate efforts, we would be 0:3 behind now!" Yao Ming also expressed emotion.

After talking with McGrady several times, the relationship between the two has become much more harmonious, and they have also become good friends off the court.

In this game, being late was really exhausting, and the physical exertion was especially huge.

In order to ensure scoring efficiency, he had to give up his personal marking of Steve Nash. Fortunately, he won the bet in the end.

If his three-point shooting percentage is only 50% today, the Rockets will definitely lose.

Yao Ming and McGrady seemed very excited. Their late arrival almost overthrew the Suns by themselves. If the two of them got along, defeating the Suns would no longer be a dream.

"Sports Illustrated" columnist, Edward Benedict Ke has become a fan of Late. He wrote in his column: Late used a great playoff game to prove that his future achievements will break through the sky , coach Van Gundy did not fully stimulate his potential.He does not have the weakness of holding the ball, which is not important to us anymore. The Suns have told us with facts that even if he cannot hold the ball, he is capable of breaking double teams and allowing other teammates to get easy shots.

If the Rockets' role players are not so bad, the Rockets should lead by a big score, and the ability to lead the team alone late is worth all of us looking forward to.

His contract is 1+1. Next year the Rockets will undoubtedly implement the team option. As long as there is no accident, he will become a completely free agent in the year after next. He can definitely get a maximum salary. Those who are still looking for a team The core team, why are you still hesitating, one year is enough for you to clear the salary space and make room for the greatest three-point shooter in our history!

Former Dallas Mavericks head coach and mad scientist Don Nelson said in an interview that Late is a super marksman who has never appeared in the league. He dreams of coaching such a player and has already conceived several sets in his mind. A tactical plan specially created for it, those guys who mock being late and can only shoot from outside the three-point line should shut up, because late three-pointers are completely different from other players.He exists alone, and he is the super core who can lead the team to victory with three-pointers.

On the second day after the game, Yao Ming was late to rest at home, but Yao Ming brought an unexpected visitor, power forward Wang Zhizhi who also played in the NBA this year.

Dazhi is the No.1 Chinese player to enter the NBA. He was selected by the Mavericks in the second round of the 99 draft. Unfortunately, his background is a bit special. He belongs to the military team and failed to enter the NBA that season. In the NBA, in the 00-01 season, Wang Zhizhi finally entered the NBA and joined the Mavericks as he wished, but he did not get much playing time.

Then he joined the Los Angeles Clippers and performed very poorly. In November 03, Big Zhi was given up by the Clippers. He joined the Heat as a free agent in December.

When playing the Heat before Late, Da Zhi didn't get a chance to play. Because he was worried about whether he could gain a foothold in the NBA, the preoccupied Da Zhi simply greeted Late.

This year, Dazhi didn't get many chances to play. The Heat have made it clear to his agent that they will not renew his contract.

Other teams didn't have the slightest interest in him, which made Da Zhi very unwilling.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the NBA, he had conflicts with the country, and now he is going back in disgrace, even a man can't stand it.

But his own style of play is indeed difficult to adapt to the NBA arena. He has a shooting range beyond the three-point line, but his footsteps are slow, his defensive ability is poor, and his confrontation is not enough.

Even so, Da Zhi has had brilliant performances. In the Atlanta Olympics in 96, the 19-year-old Da Zhi slapped Admiral Robinson in his prime!
In 02, Wang Zhizhi, who was playing for the Mavericks, knocked Kevin Garnett down against the Timberwolves, causing him to have twelve stitches in his head. This was the peak of his career.

In the original history, after Kevin Garnett retired, he publicly talked about the Chinese players he had an impression of in the NBA. Among them, apart from Yao Ming, the one who impressed him the most was Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi's visit was very sudden, and he was late without any preparation. At that time, he was slumped on the sofa like a salted fish, and the professionals sent from China were giving him a loosening massage.

"It's so small, I brought Dazhi to visit you." Yao Ming had a good relationship with the late arrival, and he was not polite. He poured himself two glasses of water, and then sat down.

Wang Zhizhi looked a little nervous, and smiled shyly at the late arrival: "It's so young, we meet again."

Late waved his hands casually: "Brother Yao, Brother Zhi, don't be polite when you come to my place, just like your own home, I was exhausted yesterday, and I still feel a little sore today, don't blame me for being rude."

"Of course not, we will continue to win the Suns tomorrow!"

Yao Ming smiled brightly. He went to the hospital yesterday for a diagnosis. He only had a slight thigh muscle strain, which affected his playing, but it was not so serious that he couldn't play at all.

Seeing that they could compete for the chance of the Western Conference Finals, Yao Ming would definitely not mind even if he lost a leg.

Wang Zhizhi looked at the two of them enviously, and sighed silently: "I really envy you all, I plan to play in the summer league again this year, to see if any teams are interested in me, if not, I will have to go back to China .”

Having said that, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The competition in the NBA is very fierce. Many people only see that the players become famous here and earn high salaries that others can't earn in their lifetime, but they ignore how many people fail here.

According to statistics, the average NBA player's playing time is only about four years, so you can imagine how fast this industry is changing.

Those players who can play in the league for more than a dozen seasons, even if they are not superstars, must have their own unique abilities.

"Brother Zhi, is there anything I can do to help? Just say it." After being silent for a while, Late opened his mouth.

Wang Zhizhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to ask you for advice on shooting."

Late was stunned: "Shooting... is not impossible. As far as I understand it, it is actually catching the ball and throwing it out. It's that simple. Practice makes perfect. Just remember where you are, how much effort you use to shoot, and the angle. How to adjust it will be a matter of course."

Wang Zhizhi glanced at Yao Ming, apparently he did not expect to get such an answer.

He even thought in his heart, could he be late because he didn't want to help himself?
Yao Ming said helplessly: "Big Zhi, don't blame him for being so small, at least his shooting talent is definitely at the level of a monster. I saw with my own eyes that he changed his shooting habits in just one day. Now the whole league I know that his shooting speed is very fast, and his posture is a bit unconventional, but when he first joined the Rockets, his shooting posture was actually very standard."

Wang Zhizhi secretly sighed, it is benevolent to be willing to help himself when he is late, and it is only natural to refuse to help him. He can't say he is dissatisfied, but he feels panicked. When he thinks that he will return home in embarrassment, he can't help but want to cry.

Yao Ming also felt pitiful when he saw him, and said in a low voice: "It's so small, don't you have some good things in your hand? Can't you help him? How about I give him the learning machine you gave me? I use that It has improved a lot of game experience, and I think it is very useful.”

Late shook his head, looked at Wang Zhizhi and said, "Brother Zhi, let's talk lightly, and I won't talk about polite words. Your own style is very problematic. No matter what era you are in, defense is the foundation of being in the NBA. You Although you can score, your defensive ability is insufficient, and others can easily score on your head. This is the reason why you can't gain a foothold in the NBA. I can help you with other things, except to improve defense. I..."

Saying that, Late sighed: "Defensive practice is very hard. One summer is enough to make you peel off a layer of skin. Even if you are willing to practice, I can't guarantee that you will still be signed in this league. Are you willing to give it a try? ?"

Wang Zhizhi immediately nodded hurriedly: "Yes! I am willing!"

As long as he doesn't return to China in despair, Wang Zhizhi is now willing to sacrifice everything about himself.

I was late and pondered for a while: "Well, I will let sister Chen take you for a physical examination first, and then I will get you a special training list."

After all, he greeted the young woman who was giving him a massage: "Sister Chen, take Brother Zhi to the University of Houston for a physical examination."

After Wang Zhizhi and Sister Chen left together, Yao Ming said with some doubts: "You are so small, you only get a basic salary, and you actually hired a special housekeeper?"

Late sneered and said, "Brother Yao, what are you talking about? Sister Chen's identity is not simple. Anyway, don't ask, she is my most trustworthy helper."

The two chatted and laughed, looking forward to the next game, waiting for the results of Wang Zhizhi's physical examination to come out, and when it was almost lunch time, Yao Ming received a call, and then said with a bit of embarrassment: "It's so small, there are still people who want to visit you, look……"

　The recommendation is over, the collection has only increased by more than 100, I am really speechless
