In the auditorium at Oak Hill Middle School, the basketball team is in the front row. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, Antoine Jamison and others sat down next to head coach Steve Smith and assistant coach Jake O'Sully.
The originally peaceful auditorium became noisy with the arrival of the third quarter of Long Zheng.
"The current dragon politics is really too similar to Michael Jordan who just entered the NBA."
As a fan of Jordan, assistant coach Jake O'Sully has been watching Jordan play since Jordan first entered the NBA.
Of course, this also has to do with the character of Jack O'Sully. The cheerful and aggressive Jack O'Sully likes a lone hero like Jordan.
A man as sophisticated and thoughtful as head coach Steve Smith would not be obsessed with Jordan.
Hearing Jack O'Sully's words, head coach Steve Smith smiled slightly. Having worked together for many years, Steve Smith knows more about the character of this assistant than he does.
Every season in the NBA, Jack O'Souly has to compare himself with Michael Jordan, because in his heart, Michael Jordan is the perfect spokesperson, whether it is the former lone hero team scoring champion or the tactical core of the Bulls during the three consecutive championships.
Is Michael Jordan really that perfect? In the opinion of head coach Steve Smith, Michael Jordan is gradually transitioning from individual singles to the whole team serving him personally.
In essence, Michael Jordan is still the "lone hero". Because the team's tactics need to be subordinated to Jordan personally, if Jordan is injured or out of shape, the Chicago Bulls will be hit catastrophicly.
Most team managers, including Steve Smith, prefer a player with the potential to be a "team star" like Ryuzheng over a "lone hero" like Michael Jordan.
Looking at the TV picture of Long Zheng, head coach Steve Smith's mind went back to three years ago.
........................................................................
At 3 p.m. on September 1, 1990, a new group of players was welcomed into the basketball hall of Oak Hill Middle School.
The team's coach has heard about the nationwide recruitment of outstanding basketball players with full high school scholarships and huge chips to cover all college tuition and fees. However, they would never have imagined that with the addition of this group of players, there would be no place for the Oak Hill basketball team. In order to arrange these veteran players, Steve Smith set up an Oak Hill II team.
Competition is what makes people better, and in order to promote the growth of the players, Steve Smith has made a rule within the team. The members of the first team and the second team are not fixed, and on a two-month cycle, the members of the second team can challenge the members of the first team, and if the challenge is successful, they can be promoted to the first team.
Head coach Steve Smith clearly remembers the frustration and embarrassment he felt when he first set this rule.
At that time, Steve Smith had been working at Oak Hill Middle School for a long time, and the veterans were all Steve Smith's treasures and hearts.
However, players are not very expensive, and a standard basketball team can only have fifteen regular rosters. The veterans also love basketball, but their talent is undoubtedly much worse than that of the new fourteen.
On the first day of school, when Steve Smith announced the rule, five players, Rasheed Wallace, Kerry Kittels, Steve Nash, Jason Williams, and Ryuzheng were promoted to the first team.
Moving up to the first team is not the end, it's the beginning.
The first thing Rasheed Wallace, Kerry Kittels, Steve Nash, Jason Williams and Ryuzheng did when they were promoted to the first team was to oust the original team captain, and the five began to compete for the captaincy.
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. At this time, head coach Steve Smith suddenly realized that it was not necessarily a good thing for his men to be full of elite players.
These players are all very aggressive, and no one wants to admit that they are worse than others. The extreme pride in their hearts made them stare at the position of captain in front of them. If there is no person with outstanding skills to stand up and subdue everyone to command everyone, then the star lineup in front of him will inevitably become a plate of loose sand.
The way in which five people compete for the captain is very scientific and fair. Either one player has to play a 1vs1 bullfight with four other players in turn, with each side having 10 offensive opportunities and basketball rules such as 24 seconds to attack.
After each of the four bullfights, the results are added up, and the person with the best score is the captain, and the person with the second best score is the vice-captain to assist the captain in managing the team.
When Jason Williams found Steve Nash, a freshman, the two point guards started a bullfight; Long Zheng stepped forward and found the strongest Rasheed Wallace.
Among the five Rasheed Wallace, Kerry Kittels, Steve Nash, Jason Williams, and Ryuzheng, Rashid Wallace is the most famous.
In his junior year of high school, Rashid Wallace has grown to 197 centimeters and 88 kilograms, and once he joined the team, he became the best physical player on the Oak Hill basketball team, while Long Zheng is only 176 centimeters tall and weighs 64 kilograms.
Rashid Wallace vs Ryuzheng, Rashid Wallace's first offense.
Playing on his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, Rashid Wallace, who has the advantage of height and weight, did not hesitate to choose to play with his back to the singles, wanting to use his body to force Long Zheng.
Who would have thought that as soon as the confident Rashid Wallace made physical contact with Long Zheng, he felt a huge force pass from Long Zheng.
Caught off guard, Rashid Wallace was unstable, taking advantage of Rashid Wallace's dribbling stagnation, Long Zheng decisively went around and reached out to destroy the basketball in Rashid Wallace's hand.
The dribble was broken and Rashid Wallace's first attack failed.
Rashid Wallace vs Ryu-jung, Ryu-jeong's first attack.
Changing direction and dribbling continuously, Ryuzheng successfully shook off Rashid Wallace, broke through to the basket with the ball, and ended the battle with a three-step layup. Typical of a breakaway layup, Ryuzheng's speed and explosiveness left Rashid Wallace at bay.
Ryu-jeong's first attack was successful, leading Rashid Wallace 1-0. (To be continued.) )
