Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 11 11 [Two tables of mahjong]

"Li, you played well in the game last night. You actually hit four three-pointers with a hit rate of 80.00%. I remember that your three-pointers have always been similar to mine. Why are you suddenly so scary? Can you teach me something? experience?"

When Jiang Hao was doing shooting practice, Murray found him.

Obviously, Murray really hopes that Jiang Hao can teach him some experience about three-point shooting. The whole world knows that the current NBA is a three-point shooting league. Even those big and tall inside players have to practice three-point shooting. Otherwise you have no living space.

Traditional insiders like Dwight Howard are now being abandoned by this league. As a guard, Dejounte Murray knows very well that only defense and breakthrough are not enough. He must extend his range in the shortest time.

But it's not easy. This season is his second season in the league. From the perspective of a rookie, it's time for him to produce results. In this case, his pressure is actually great.

"Repeat, just keep repeating like this, this is my experience" Jiang Hao hit a three-pointer casually and turned around and said, he can only explain to Murray in this way, and he also believes that Murray will agree with him, because Other than that, there doesn't really seem to be much to say.

"Okay." Murray shook his head helplessly.

.........

Messina appeared later than Jiang Hao expected. Jiang Hao was sure that someone from the Spurs would contact him, but he didn't expect that the contact time was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and he was even going to take a lunch break .

"Jiang, can you talk about last night's game, such as your three-pointer?"

Messina is direct enough, straight to the point.

"Maybe it's the hand feeling, maybe it's luck, you know, many times the hand feeling can't be explained." Jiang Hao's answer was a little prevaricated. He didn't intend to discuss this issue in depth with others, because it's useless .

"Well, in short, you did it. We hope you can continue to maintain this state. You don't have to go to Austin to report tomorrow, but go to Washington with us."

Jiang Hao showed a knowing smile. As expected, with the team's recent poor condition, it is impossible for Popovich and the others to ignore him, not to mention trusting substitute players is the characteristic of Popovich's coaching one.

"You will be on the bench for the training match in the afternoon. I hope you can give full play to your abilities so that we can get to know you better."

Although Messina's words were not clearly stated, Jiang Hao already knew everything in his heart, that is, the Spurs coaching staff officially began to evaluate himself, and this was something he was very eager to happen.

After Messina left, Jiang Hao also went to the lounge.

Although during the entire conversation with Messina, the latter did not mention any topic about the contract, but Jiang Hao is sure that as long as he can continue to seize the opportunity, the new contract is only a matter of time.

As for now, he can understand the prudence of the Spurs. As a small-market team, the Spurs' survival philosophy for so many years is to tighten their belts when the owner's assets are even ranked last in the entire league. They don't offer a contract to a player lightly.

For so many years, whether it is Tim Duncan who has retired, or Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker who are still insisting, their contracts are even the lowest in the league at the same level.

"Strength is money, I don't need to worry about these things," Jiang Hao told himself, the most urgent thing is to quickly improve his level.

You can look forward to the team training game in the afternoon. To be honest, it has been more than a month since he signed a two-way contract with the Spurs, and this is even his first time playing in a team training game.

.........

"I mean you continue to keep in touch with the European side, but it's better to wait a few days before deciding whether to make formal contacts"

In the affluent area of ​​San Antonio, Peter Holman, the real boss behind the Spurs, handed over a cigar to RC Buford who had just arrived at home.

"Boss, what do you mean?" Buford looked at Holman strangely. It had always been Holman's decision to go to the European League to poach people.

"I watched the game last night. I think that Chinese player is a bit interesting. I should have called you after the game last night, but something happened and I was delayed." Holman narrowed his eyes and said casually. .

"Jiang's performance last night was really impressive." Buford nodded.

"Then give that guy a few days to see how he performs next. If he can continue to surprise us, then sign him. You have to understand that China is behind him."

Holman's eyes flashed brightly, and Buford beside him seemed to understand something at this time, and nodded thoughtfully.

For the San Antonio Spurs, if they can sign a player with certain strength and from China, it is undoubtedly the most perfect deal.

.........

When Jiang Hao woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and almost all the players who were supposed to come in the training hall had come.

To his surprise, Derek White was also told today that he will go to Washington with the team tomorrow, and he will also participate in the team training game later.

"This training match is really interesting." Jiang Hao felt more and more that the training match that was about to start seemed carefully planned, but he didn't know the purpose of doing so.

Starting lineup: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Rudy Gay, Pau Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge.

Substitute 1: Patty Mills, Manu Ginobili, Dejounte Murray, Kyle Anderson, Lovergne

Substitute lineup 2: Bryn Forbes, Jiang Hao, Derek White, Bertans!
After a while, everyone was divided into three groups by the coaching staff, and Jiang Hao entered the substitute group 2. However, there were only four of them in this group, which could have been divided into 3 groups, but the core of the team Leonard absent.

Speaking of which, since Jiang Hao came to the Spurs this season, he has hardly seen Leonard, let alone had contact with him, and he doesn't know whether the guy called "robot" is easy to get along with.

Looking at his teammates beside him, Jiang Hao wanted to laugh a little. The Spurs' guards could really make up two tables of mahjong. With the addition of himself as a swingman, there were exactly 8 guards.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao looked up at Popovich who was surrounded by everyone. There were only four people in his group, and he didn't know how Popovich would arrange them for the training match that was about to start...
