Just as the parents were scrambling through their pockets to find a greeting for the children, Rina came down from upstairs to rescue them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Maika, Al, do you miss Aunt Rina? This is a gift from grandpa and grandma from the far east, I hope you will like it. ”

It turned out that the attentive Rina had been prepared for these for a long time, and the reason why she ran upstairs was to get gifts for Monin's children.

There is an adaptation period for everything, and under the guidance of Chamberlain and Rina, the parents were at a loss when they saw foreigners for the first time, and they quickly disappeared.

Although the language barrier is different, the two families still talk happily with Chamberlain. The mother, who likes her children, even hugged little Al on her lap.

During the conversation, Tracy was very enthusiastic, repeatedly inviting her parents to their home, and expressing her willingness to accompany her parents to visit attractions around Seattle when Chamberlain went to play an away game.

For these, Rina answered one by one on behalf of her parents

The conversation did not last long, and after about an hour, the Moning family politely said goodbye.

However, they made an appointment to meet the next day, because the wives and children of the two court stars are going to watch a basketball game together tomorrow.

It was the legendary Christmas game, and the Charlotte Bobcats, a new army with Chamberlain, challenged the Seattle SuperSonics, the typical representative of the Salted Fish's turnaround.

Supersonic vs Bobcat; SuperSonics vs Magic; So who is the next opponent for the SuperSonics? Yes, it's the Heat, and it's two, one home and one away, so we can see the theme of the first month of 2005 - center confrontation!

At the same time, in the supersonic manager's office, a conversation is underway.

"Nate, congratulations, you've done everything you said. ”

In his office, Sander, the team manager of the SuperSonics, said to McMillan, who was sitting across from him.

"Thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. No one knows them better than I do, they are a natural pair. ”

McMillan is in a very good mood right now, with three consecutive away wins marking the team's return to the right track.

"Yes, they did a great job, I never thought we would be number one in the league this season, and of course, your contribution is just as huge. ”

Sander smiled, the team finally got to where they are today, and he didn't want the duo of Oxlade-Chamberlain and Tired Allen to be broken up

"Yes, they're great, but our roster isn't perfect and we need a good point guard, Sander. ”

In the face of Iverson, Ridnow's poor performance made McMillan make up his mind on the way to Atlanta, and he took advantage of Sander's invitation to make this request.

"I'm also considering a trade, do you have a pick, Nate?"

"Andre Miller, Jason Kidd, of course, this is unlikely, and Jason Williams, Derrick Fisher, etc., I don't have much demand for this point guard, I just need to be able to understand my tactical arrangement, take the ball across the halfcourt, and don't need him to pass the ball well, have a three-point hand, don't focus on individual offense, and defend aggressively. My personal leaning towards Andre Miller, Derek Fisher. ”

In the past few years, the outside line has shown a blowout development trend, but most of these outside lines focus on individual offense and are suitable for the current supersonic team, and McMillan has locked in such a few candidates after careful consideration.

"Why not Jason Williams?

"No, it's very pretty, I can imagine what kind of beautiful offense the team will play when he is in conjunction with Zhang, but, Sander, that's a big problem, his character is going to be a big problem, that's why I'm not particularly optimistic about him. ”

With an arrogant personality, a high turnover ratio, a penchant for challenging authority, and a lot of worries about "white chocolate" ruining the team's harmony, McMillan put this candidate to the last consideration.

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously. So how about the Christmas game? I'd like to know what you're going to do with the team's tactics. ”

Sander asked his top concern. The previous ones are all foreshadowing, and this is the main purpose of his invitation to McMillan.

"Tactics? Oh, he's not going to change much, you know, Sander, we're grinding in the past. ”

Hearing this, McMillan's heart suddenly lifted.

"You're telling me that Mourning is still going to be our starting centre-forward, right?"

"yes, is there anything wrong with that? He defends very well and helps Zhang a lot. ”

"Why not Radmanovic and let Zhang play the right center for him? They played really well in the last game, so why don't they continue to use this tactic?"

The tactics of the SuperSonics against the Hawks are the most preferred play by the SuperSonics team management.

"What about Zhang? do you want Zhang to be beaten up on the inside? ”

"No, Nate, as long as we bring up the speed, it's not a problem at all, we can play better than Phoenix, our offense is not afraid of anyone, and if we take Zhang out of the defense completely and put all of his energy into the offense, he is more capable of playing even more shocking numbers. He's a super scorer, born to be a player who exists to score. ”

"Yes, you're right, but what about the defense? Who do we rely on to organize the defense? Radmanovich? or Lewis or Ray?"

"We can not defend, like Phoenix. ”

"Oh my gosh, a real crazy idea. ”

McMillan slapped his forehead in pain, "I can't agree to your proposal, Tander." ”

"Well, you have every right to do that, but I warn you, Nate, that's what the boss meant. ”

"No, whoever it means, as long as I'm still on this team for a day. ”

McMillan has always regarded defense as his foundation, but he has never been supported by the team's management.

In recent seasons, the SuperSonics have struggled to reproduce the style of a strong team, one of the main reasons is that the team's offense is first-class but the defense has not been improved.

But the disagreement of opinions made McMillan helpless, and the club's top management seemed to be more fond of work.

The SuperSonics owner also said to McMillan - "still put more effort into the offense" that made him laugh and cry.
