NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

On this day, the Rockets' training was held in a university arena officially arranged by the NBA.

After two hours of tactical running training, Van Gundy asked Zhang Jinshui and Luther Head to lead four players to fight in transition.

After Zhang Jinshui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he said to Luther Head: "I just developed a technique for outside singles recently. You shouldn't be able to guard me."

Luther Head laughed and said, "Come here, I'm not Nate Robinson."

Zhang Jinshui leaned forward, pretending to break through Lutherhead.

Then, he used his mind to call [Retreat Step Magic Shot], dribbled the ball continuously with both hands under his crotch, and then took a step back to open up the shooting space, jumped high, and threw the ball.

This is Zhang Jinshui's first time to perform [Backstep Magic Shot]. He can feel that his body movements are very smooth and done in one go, and there is no adaptation process from unfamiliarity to proficiency as imagined.

With a "swipe", the basketball went into the net hollowly.

Zhang Jinshui raised three fingers, shook them in front of Lutherhead, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

"It's good to come out of nowhere, but if I've been prepared in advance, then your three-point shooting percentage should not be much higher."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Jinshui cast a glance at Luther Head.

Next, Zhang Jinshui hit Luther Hyde 5 times with [Retreat Step Magic Shot]. Even though Luther Hyde was prepared and took an extra step forward, Zhang Jinshui still couldn't stop Zhang Jinshui from getting three points by retreating. shot space.

In the end, Zhang Jinshui made 5 of 3 shots, a 60% hit rate.

"Well, I admit that although this move seems simple and rude, judging from the hit rate, the effect seems to be pretty good." Lutherhead shrugged and said.

After a few more rounds, the two sides returned to the bench for a short rest, and Van Gundy came to Zhang Jinshui's side.

"Zhang Jinshui, I saw that you just shot a lot of step-back three-pointers from beyond the three-point line."

"Yes, coach, my newly developed style of play seems to be quite easy to use." Zhang Jinshui wiped the sweat from his head with a towel and said with a smile.

"It seems that the effect is really good, but this way of shooting three-pointers is still too independent and too dependent on the touch. In the game, you still can't use it too much."

Zhang Jinshui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt overwhelmed. That's right, tactics are the belief of all coaches. How could any coach appreciate such a simple and rough style of play.

Zhang Jinshui really wants to tell Van Gundy that 10 years later, the three-pointer will become the most mainstream offensive method in the league, and the step-back three-pointer is the signature move of the league's top superstars such as Harden and Doncic.

However, it is estimated that Van Gundy would sneer at it if he said it. The advanced experience of the traveler would only be regarded as deviant in this world.

Zhang Jinshui nodded and pretended to agree: "Then I can make three shots like this at most in a game. If I make it, I will continue to make it. If I don't make it three times, then I won't make any more shots."

"Well, your singles rely too much on breakthroughs. It's okay to use a step back occasionally to increase the layering of your singles."

The training of offensive and defensive transitions continued. Zhang Jinshui no longer deliberately used [Retreat Step Magic Shot], but occasionally mixed it with the offense, especially in rotation with the breakthrough, which really made it more difficult for Lutherhead to parry.

By this time, Zhang Jinshui had completely integrated [Retreating Magic Shot] into his offensive arsenal.

But unfortunately, Zhang Jinshui's other new talent badge [One-on-one: Tit-for-tat] has never been triggered during the transition from offense to defense.

After re-reading the badge introduction, Zhang Jinshui discovered that this badge can only be triggered in official games.

It seems that the only way to explore its use is in tomorrow's game.

Zhang Jinshui couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, his confidence in the game has not been affected at all. Even without [Tit for Tat], he still doesn't think Raymond Felton will be his opponent.

On the second night, the periphery of Madison Square Garden became lively again, but there were far fewer public figures present, and there were no reporters around the entrance.

The game between the Rockets and Bobcats will start here at 8 o'clock.

The biggest feature of the nba summer league is the use of the game system.

30 teams gathered in New York and will play 15 games in 5 days, and then the two teams with the best record and point difference will play the championship game.

While the Rockets play the Bobcats tonight, the Knicks also have a game against the Cavaliers.

However, because the Rockets received the most attention, the league arranged the Rockets' games in Madison Square Garden, which has the most seats for spectators.

The poor Knicks can only give up their home court and go to a nearby university arena to play.

At 7:40 p.m., Zhang Jinshui, wearing the No. 86 Rockets jersey, led his teammates into the field from the player tunnel. Immediately, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands at Madison Square Garden, and someone shouted "NO. 11 rookies" slogan.

Looking at the stands, Zhang Jinshui found that many of them put on their No. 86 jerseys, and waved to them with a smile, causing another commotion in the stands.

In the commentary on the sidelines, Kenny Smith said with emotion: "Although Zhang Jinshui's status as the best rookie in 2005 is still controversial, he is the most popular rookie in 2005, and it should be a certainty."

"This Huaguo kid's style of play is really popular, the logo shot in the last game, tsk tsk tsk, let alone ordinary fans, even I, who was forced to kiss a donkey by him, want to take a picture with him Shadow." Big Mouth Buckley said.

After a brief warm-up, Zhang Jinshui went straight to the commentary booth and stretched out his fist to Barkley.

Big Mouth Barkley stood up happily, bumped fists with him, and said with a smile, "Zhang Jinshui, I'm not playing tricks. You should turn on the TV and find any sports channel, and you should be able to watch my live broadcast."

Zhang Jinshui nodded, and said: "Let's settle the matter, let's let it go to the end."

"No problem, I wish you a smooth match today."

"Zhang Jinshui, don't get too close to him, he said you are not as good as Chris Paul, and I am the one who supports you the most." Kenny Smith complained from the side.

"Thanks, buddy. But it's only the summer league right now, and it's meaningless to compare. Let's wait for the regular season to start. You can encourage your old partner to bet with me again, and I'll be there anytime."

"Forget it. In the future, I won't get angry when discussing anything related to you. I'm ready to turn against you at any time." Barkley shook his head like a rattle, causing Kenny Smith and Zhang Jinshui to laugh.

Saying goodbye to Big Mouth Barkley and Kenny Smith, Zhang Jinshui came to the audience on the opposite side of the court again.

Today, Zi Chunlin was wearing a white turtleneck and blue jeans, showing her slender figure. When she saw Zhang Jinshui approaching, two blushes immediately flushed on her cheeks.

But she still stood up, lowered her head and hugged Zhang Jinshui, and said in a low voice, "Jin Shui, come on!"

Recently, she blushed more and more when facing Zhang Jinshui.

Satisfied, Zhang Jinshui hugged her delicate body and laughed, "With your support, my luck tonight should not be too bad."

Subsequently, Zhang Jinshui returned to the court.

At 8 o'clock, as the referee threw the ball into the air, the game between the Rockets and Bobcats officially began.
