I'm a big shot in basketball

The morning meeting ended at 09:30. Su Yang took the coaching staff to the court and waited for the players to arrive.

The agreed time was ten o'clock, and Francis' good brother Mobley had arrived, and he was warming up for shooting.

Rookie Eddie Griffin and Summer United's four main players, Moon, Arroyo, Jason Correll and Dan Lange, also arrived ahead of schedule.

Walter Williams, who had nothing to do with each other before, and Glenn Rice, who was traded in the offseason, are practicing.After waiting for a while, it was Kevin Cato who entered the court last and took the initiative to greet assistant coach Larry Smith and the others.

All the players saw it, and they didn't know whether Cato was on purpose or not. They obviously ignored the interim head coach Su Yang.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Assuming nothing happened, Su Yangquan could feel Cato's subtle resistance. He guessed that Cato probably wanted to side with Francis. After all, it was obvious that he would use Eddie Griffin again. Coral's potential.

I must be worried about being robbed of the position and time, but Cato is not as important as Francis. He is a pure fool. He probably thinks that he will succeed if he does not cooperate. He will not use him as an example to establish prestige. go.

After making up his mind, Su Yang nodded to start.

Assistant coach Mike Wells immediately blew his whistle and shouted to gather. As the person Su Yang had recruited in the summer league, he performed hard.

The Xialian players hurriedly assembled to respond, and the other old fritters approached leisurely, getting used to the laxity of Tang Shuai's time.

"Before starting the training, I would first like to announce that Steve Francis was absent today due to tight hip muscles, but he did not notify me in advance, which affected the team's training plan. Taking him as an example, the same will not be allowed in the future. If something happened, if the offense is committed again, it will be suspended for one game, and for the third offense, it will be suspended for five games, and the maximum suspension will be [-] games..."

The Rockets players raised their eyebrows one after another. The new official took office. The three fires came, and they directly took the team boss. There is something to watch.

"I know some of you are somewhat resistant to me because of my race, because I wasn't born as a professional player, because I'm a few years or ten years younger than most of you, and you can't accept a graduate. guide.

You also don’t believe that a graduate with only experience in the third-level league can coach an official game. You may have heard about my record in the Summer League, but you think it’s just me being too serious or lucky, unlike other teams who just play casually .

You may also think that the summer league is completely different from the main game. Rick Pitilo, the strongest academic, failed to succeed in the Celtics. You are also worried about potential changes. You instinctively resist changes and do not accept new tactics. theory.

You can resist me, but if you cooperate with me, you can feel the joy of learning to play basketball for the first time.

If you want some kind of reliable support, you can watch the documentary released by TNT about me. I started with the Spurs and traveled to many NBA teams and college teams in the United States. Those coaches and team players have a lot of comments on me.

I will not persuade or beseech you.

I am the head coach.

I have the right to suspend any player. "

After the words fell, the Rockets players looked different.

Eddie Griffin, who participated in the Summer League, is okay. They know that Su Yang has clear rewards and punishments, and he keeps his word. However, the Rockets players who did not participate in the Summer League were confused for a while, what Popovich's evaluation, what is not moving at all Banned, what racism...

Put on a racist hat, a bit rambunctious.

"After I finish speaking, who approves and who opposes?"

No one said anything. Su Yang felt the strong displeasure of Cato and Walter, but Mobley didn't respond. Eddie Griffin, who had participated in the Summer League, was full of admiration and excitement. It's like witnessing the idol carry the audience.

"Start shooting warm up!"

Su Yang waved his hand. Assistant coaches Mike Wells and Melvin Hunter followed and directed the players to each basket. Head coach Larry Smith and his assistant stood at each basket and waited. The two of them were obviously going through the motions.

The middle basket was left out, and Su Yang took Eddie Griffin and the others to stand at the free throw line and shoot for a demonstration.

If you want to convince the old fritters completely, it is definitely not enough to rely on tactical theory alone. You must show them advanced shooting training methods. "The use of double-footed shots in actual combat is relatively low, and more shots are quickly started with one foot, like this..."

During the explanation, Su Yang demonstrated the single-leg hip flexion that Nash promoted to Curry and Durant in the Warriors in his previous life.

"In this way, you can shoot quickly and stably. I don't ask you to practice quickly, but I suggest that you keep practicing for a long time. Whether you are in the Rockets or going to other teams, you can benefit for life." After the words fell, Su Yangyun The ball started to bypass the screen, he slammed the ball with his right foot, bent his hips, raised the ball to force his hips, and skillfully threw a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Assistant coach Wells and Hunter applauded in unison.

Su Yang tried his best to restrain the excitement of demonstrating the big success, pretending to be ordinary, "You guys practice like this, combined with the physical shooting rules I promoted before..." By the way, he explained the physical shooting methods of former Heat shooting coach Rob Ford.

The Rockets don’t have a serious shooting coach. Thinking about it, they have to hire a few more. Volkswagen’s father-in-law, Hornacek, who just retired, is a good candidate, but hiring someone requires more salary. The boss Leslie Alexander may not be so easy to pass. Let's talk about the results.

Eddie Griffin and the others then warmed up by shooting.

Su Yang came out to scan the audience, and quickly went through the lineup in his mind. The two positions of point guard and center were relatively tight.

The point guard is directly excluded because of Francis' uncooperative attitude, unless Francis himself gives in. The other point guard is the little Mucci? Mistakes are good for the atmosphere. They belong to the team's pistachio. They don't plan to use them frequently in the main game. Fortunately, Arroyo was signed in advance.

Considering that the fight with Francis might last for a long time, Su Yang took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Dawson, suggesting to sign former Grizzlies point guard Damon Jones. Match your own offensive and defensive system.

Dawson deliberately did not come to support the scene, but he was always paying attention to what happened in the training ground, and immediately replied that he could.

The problem of the point guard is settled for the time being, and then the center is studied.

Cato must be on the second bench, focusing on Jason Koller and Kenny Thomas. Koller seeks the value of a three-pointer, and Kenny Thomas seeks the mobility and mid-range shooting of a small lineup. The same inside With Eddie Griffin.

But because of Maurice Taylor's reimbursement, if Kenny Thomas is allowed to play center, there will be a shortage of power forward positions.

Eddie Griffin can't play 48 minutes every game, and he has to find a way to get a power forward, a center, or a player who can play both positions. There is not much talent to miss in the free market. Can be traded for draft picks.

"We still need a power forward/center, and I suggest a veteran player with mobility and shooting..."

The text message passed, and Dawson replied that he agreed, and he was going to send next year's second-round pick to exchange. He also thanked Su Yang for urging him not to give Morris Taylor a big contract. It would be too miserable if he gave it out according to the original plan of 6 million in 4800 years up.

Su Yang didn't take credit for his pride, but instead deduced the second round next year. He couldn't choose Boozer's immediate combat power, but his earliest plan was to be a video analyst assistant, and he wondered whether he should recommend Randolph. After a few months it was very different.

The plan can't keep up with the changes, not to mention Boozer, even Dayao has to be put aside for the time being, and the first thing to do is to ensure the winning percentage of the regular season.

As for whether it is necessary to fight badly, Coach Tom will think about it when he comes back three months later. The wheel of history has changed its course.

The half-hour warm-up is over soon.

According to the routine procedure, when it was time to watch the video, the staff set up two large color TVs according to Su Yang's previous instructions.

"For the tactical system I'm about to promote, I hope that everyone will first watch the video of last season's game and the video of our drop league, and find the biggest difference from it. Before we start training, we can clarify what kind of basketball philosophy is most suitable."

I didn’t want to talk about stupid vocabulary like basketball philosophy, but if I want to bluff the old fritters of the Rockets, I need to make it taller and look very professional, just like French Provence garlic and Northeast garlic, and sell a few more under different names ten yuan.

The 24-minute video was gradually played to completion.

Su Yang asked with a smile: "How? Did you notice the difference?" He pointed to the old cat Mobley and motioned to talk about it.

Mobley put his hands on his hips: "The biggest difference is that Xia Lian has a lot of off-ball running, and there are fewer off-ball running in the main game."

"Yes! That's it!"

Su Yang clenched his fists, "Move! Run without the ball, let every second be full of changes and expectations!"
