NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

The Trevor Quinn in Dawson's mouth is the star of the Rockets' subsidiary team in the Development League, the Oakland Valley Vipers.

在刚刚结束的发展联盟联赛中，奎因在29场比赛中场均得到25.3分6.6篮板5.2助攻3.3抢断，获得了赛季mvp。

It is said that he has successfully attracted the attention of several NBA teams, but his current two-way contract is still with the Rockets and cannot sign with other teams.

At this time, the five main players of the Viper team headed by Quinn had already entered the field in a file, took off their coats, and began to do some warm-up activities.

Players in the NBA Development League usually have marginal strength in the NBA. If they join an overseas team, they can actually earn more money.

The reason why they did not go overseas to seek gold, but stayed in the Development League, was that they hoped to perform well in the Development League, and one day they would be favored by NBA coaches and regain the opportunity to play in the NBA.

Although the five members of the Viper team were called to cooperate with Zhang Jinshui in the trial training today, for them, this is also a rare opportunity to show their strength in front of the Rockets coach Van Gundy.

Especially Quinn. He was originally an undrafted player in the 2002 NBA draft. After three years of dormancy in the Development League, he finally played his career masterpiece this season.

However, the Rockets have been slow to convert his two-way contract to an official contract.

Today he came to the Rockets training base with only one goal, no matter who the rookie who came to the trial training was, to blow him up and gain Van Gundy's appreciation.

After the Viper team warmed up for about 10 minutes, Dawson walked to the center of the court, called Zhang Jinshui and five Viper team members together, briefly introduced them to each other, and then divided them into two teams.

Zhang Jinshui and the Vipers' shooting guards and centers were assigned to a team, while Quinn, a point guard, was assigned to a team with small forwards and power forwards.

The two sides will have a three-on-three confrontation with 39 points. After each score, the ball will be exchanged. The side that gets 39 points first will win.

Before the game started, Quinn patted Zhang Jinshui on the shoulder: "Zhang Jinshui, right? Sorry, I also want to find a job in the NBA, so I can only wrong you tonight."

Zhang Jinshui looked at this guy who was about the same height as himself, with tattoos all over his neck, arms and feet, and said with a disdainful smile: "It's up to you? Are you kidding me?"

At this time, Zhang Jinshui's aura is not only different from his previous life, but also completely different from his player system activated just a few days ago.

As he adapts to this body and develops his various abilities, he not only becomes more and more confident, but also becomes more and more aggressive on the court.

Because he has gradually understood the truth that humility is useless when playing on NBA-related courts. Only by relying on strength can you gain the respect of others.

The first possession of the ball in this confrontation was determined by shooting a three-pointer, which was tantamount to giving points to Zhang Jinshui.

"Me first." He was too lazy to entangle with Quinn about the shooting order, and went straight to the top of the arc. He raised his hand three times and dropped the knife three times, easily hitting three three-pointers.

It was Quinn's turn, and his three-pointers were also good. He successfully hit the first two three-pointers, but the third three-pointer bounced out of the frame and gave up the ball to Zhang Jinshuifang.

"Three-pointers are so-so." Zhang Jinshui grinned at Quinn, showing his white teeth.

Quinn, who was talking nonsense to Zhang Jinshui 2 minutes ago, suddenly became a little restless.

He vaguely had an ominous premonition that something bad might happen to today's three-on-three, and he was likely to be the victim.

After the game started, Zhang Jinshui took the lead in holding the ball.

Faced with Quinn's active defense, Zhang Jinshui did not directly choose to break through, but first beckoned to his own center and called a pick-and-roll.

The big black man with a height of 2 meters immediately moved to the top of the arc, and used his burly body to block the defensive line on Quinn's right.

Zhang Jinshui moved laterally to the right and successfully pulled the opponent's power forward in front of him. With a fake shoulder shake, he easily broke through from the power forward's right hand into the empty inside lane and scored two points for a layup.

"Good shot." Dawson applauded immediately on the sidelines of the court. He turned and smiled at Van Gundy: "With the blessing of a breakthrough, we can no longer say that Zhang Jinshui is not good at pick-and-roll tactics."

Van Gundy nodded and said:

"To some extent, it is, but if you only break through after the pick-and-roll, it will definitely be targeted by other teams after a long time, but it doesn't matter, I can arrange other running positions in his pick-and-roll tactics to cooperate with other teammates. Create offensive opportunities."

After a pause, Van Gundy said with relief:

"I appreciate this pick-and-roll play he called at the beginning.

It seems that he also knows that he did not play well in the pick-and-roll before, and now that he has improved, he will show it to us immediately.

From this point of view, he is a player who is willing to face up to his shortcomings and seek improvement. This quality is rare. "

In fact, Van Gundy was only half right.

Zhang Jinshui called the pick-and-roll as soon as he came up. It was only one aspect to show Van Gundy his progress. On the other hand, he himself was curious about how much his own breakthrough and evolution would help the pick-and-roll.

After all, after obtaining the [Lightning First Step] badge, he has not yet had the opportunity to participate in actual combat.

Feeling the actual effect now, Zhang Jinshui's heart is jumping for joy, even happier than when the three-point badge was activated.

After all, three-point shooting is still too passive. If the opposing defender sticks to him like nougat throughout the game, it will be difficult for him to get a few three-point shots.

But the pick-and-roll breakthrough is different. It is an active offensive method. As long as the coach is willing, he can always use the pick-and-roll breakthrough to cause damage to the opponent.

At this time, Zhang Jinshui has become less and less concerned about the opponent's three players.

Even Quinn, the mvp of the development league, is just a non-staff who can't get into the nba gate. If divided by 2k score, the ability value is at most 60 points.

Although Zhang Jinshui's ability value is also at this level, but he has one purple, two silvers and three talent badges, and his two offensive skills of three-pointers and breakthroughs are all top-level in the nba. It is certainly no problem to crush Quinn.

In the next game, he tried two consecutive pick-and-roll breakthroughs, easily scored 4 points, and also hit two three-pointers.

And Zhang Jinshui's defense, although it was a scumbag in front of Jack, was still good enough in front of Quinn, and did not give Quinn too many opportunities to score easily.

When the game went on for 6 minutes, the score difference on the court had widened to a disparity of 25 to 8.

Since then, Zhang Jinshui has completely slowed down the pace. He no longer took the initiative to attack, but began to try to use the pass to create opportunities for the other two temporary teammates, and finally led his side steadily to win the victory 39-15.

It can be said that this 3v3 match was completely under Zhang Jinshui's control from the beginning to the end.

"Didn't you think that Quinn was not enough to play against Zhang Jinshui?" Dawson looked at Van Gundy happily on the sidelines.

"Yes, in my mind, Quinn is already at the quasi-nba level. I even considered giving him a formal contract, but I didn't expect that he was completely powerless in front of Zhang Jinshui." Van Gundy sincerely exclaimed.

Dawson couldn't help laughing proudly: "Did I say that we are going to find a treasure this time, and you must have a drink with me tonight."

However, Van Gundy didn't seem very happy. He looked back at Dawson, with a hint of worry on his face, and said, "Are you sure that the Rockets must be the ones who picked up the treasure?"
