"It's time for Jeff Van Gundy to pull the note out of his pocket. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" McMillan joked optimistically.

Zhou Zheng is not as objective as McMillan, but he also doesn't want to say anything that disappoints the fun.

When the game resumed, the conservative Van Gundy actually played the two-center striker tactic, Mutombo and Yao Shu stood on the pitch at the same time, when two towering mountains stood in the penalty area...... The Trailblazers are in big trouble.

Once the game started, Tracy Madty took over possession and he became the playmaker.

When a two-time scoring champion began to organize...... It's hard to cut off his ball.

Yao Shu quickly echoed in the restricted area, and although his back-to-back single did not add assist stats to Tracy, the Rockets found a suitable path for them to move forward.

With the Trail Blazers' current roster, they simply can't stop this passage.

What's even sadder is that when he falls into the offensive position, Zhou's basketball starts to struggle to get out again, and the Rockets players form a well-packed defensive net, and Mutombo shows his housekeeping skills.

Bang!

Zhou Zheng's mid-range jumper hits the iron.

In the rematch, Maddy assisted Wesley for a three-pointer.

Looking back, Dixon received a shot from Zhou.

Then, Tracy Madty failed to attempt a three-point shot.

The second quarter ended.

The Trail Blazers, who were playing away, went into the locker room 61-62 down by one point.

'We need more long-range shots. Zhou was in the locker room and stressed to McMillan seriously.

McMillan was no longer as optimistic as he had been ten minutes ago, and he said helplessly: "Boy, look at our locker room, we don't even have a decent pitcher. ”

Zhou Zheng silently returned to his chair and leaned back on the locker. The murky air and shabby conditions in the visitors' dressing room made him feel worse than ever...... Houston's visiting locker room is a testament to the pettiness of their bosses, and there is not even air conditioning here.

"What should I do?"

Zhou Zheng frowned.

It's still noisy, Darius and Outlaw talking to Otlo about the girl they met in San Antonio, and Zach Randolph and Ratliff discussing something more advanced about what they are going to do... Zhou Zheng could even hear the squeaks of rats under the locker.

His consciousness slowly settled in the noise, and his brain began to become clear.

I don't know how long it took, but a memory inexplicably appeared in my head, about the Houston Rockets... They were blown up by the Utah Jazz, Yao Ming couldn't stop Boozer Carlos at all, he was completely driven crazy by Boozer, and then the Houston people were overturned in the first round of the playoffs with a two-game lead......!

"Hey, Coach Nate. I think we can try our pick-and-roll tactics. Zhou Zheng stood up and said excitedly: "It's hard for Yao Shu to expand his defense beyond the free throw line. ”

"We can also add Princeton's style of play, Miles, Outlaw, they are all great counter-runners, they are good at sneaking into the opponent's box like 'thieves' and then blatant dunks......"

Zhou Zheng's loud proposal interrupted the various discussions in the locker room.

Everyone, including Nate McMillan, looked at him.

Only then did Zhou Zheng realize that he seemed to be a little too showy.

"Uh... Coach, I didn't mean anything else, I just had a little idea. Zhou Zheng hurriedly apologized in a low voice, he didn't want to give people the feeling of pointing fingers.

McMillan smiled, he liked this restrained humility of the Chinese.

Of course, what he likes more is the tenacity in Zhou Zheng's bones.

"It's okay, kid, you don't have to worry too much. You have to get used to saying your thoughts out loud in the locker room. McMillan walked over and patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder.

He's said that more than once and he's now going to give all the players a sense of admiration.

"Come on, Tiger, speak your mind. McMillan took the tactical board as well.

His move shocked the entire locker room, everyone knew that McMillan trusted Zhou Zheng very much, but he didn't expect that this trust had reached this level, which was almost ...... Spoiled.

"My idea is not very mature. Just a very naïve and very simple concept. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at McMillan and said sincerely: "I hope to get your advice." ”

"Say it. McMillan was smiling, and he liked Zhou Zheng's modesty from the bottom of his heart.

"My thinking is this, Zach is a very good face frame striker, his firepower range can cover the entire half, if he plays against Yao Shu, Yao Ming will definitely have a lot of headaches. We can put a three-point shooter here... Kapaja is very good. Outlaw and Miles can be found here... And here... The key area is their range...... I opened up the line with Zach at the top of the arc with a pick-and-roll, and then handed the ball to Zach who was misplaced. Zach is a very strong attacker and passer who can make the game easy............"

Zhou Zheng drew a few rough points on the tactical board.

"Isn't this the Jazz's tactic?" Patterson said sourly, "and copied the Kings' forward line run, what's the big deal?"

Patterson has been completely isolated in the locker room, and he is always trying to make some noise now.

Zhou Zheng didn't pay attention to him at all.

McMillan looked at Zhou's tactical board for a while, and several assistant coaches also looked at the feasibility.

Finally, draw conclusions.

Judging from the staffing of the Trail Blazers, this is the most suitable technical and tactical style of play for the team.

"Genius creativity!" Williams, the first assistant coach, hugged Zhou Zheng for the first time, he didn't think it was plagiarism, let alone a combination. It's a seamless fit.

“ok。 McMillan turned around and announced that the team would play this Utah pick-and-roll plus Princeton counterrun for the second half.

There was a jaw-dropping in the locker room... Zhou Zheng's status has been fully highlighted.

After that, he strengthened a lot of details and pulled out a lot of specific routes for running... Including blocking, covering and standing are explained in very, very detailed.

This benefited Zhou Zheng very much, learned a lot from it, and invisibly increased his ability to understand the game.

"Tiger, is this a Christmas gift you gave me in advance?" Zachrandolph said to Zhou Zheng before going on the court: "I thought you would be the king in the tactics you designed, but I didn't expect you to give me the initiative." ”

He was a little moved.

"Actually..."Zhou Zheng scratched his head: "Actually, I didn't think too much, I just wanted to win." ”

"Still, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance. I've already set out to prepare a gift for you. ”

Zhou Zheng showed a bright smile.

Randolph laughed along.

He started thinking about other things in his head...... Winning?

This is already a very distant concept for him, I don't know when he started, he only cares about his own data, and it seems that he has become accustomed to failure.

But... Isn't playing basketball just about winning?

Something in his heart began to stir, trying to break the seal!
