After the training, the elder Nelson called Zhou Xuan into the office alone and asked the scout to send a stack of materials and a few CDs.

After the scouts came out, Nelson Sr. said, "This is the player profile and some videos collected by the scouts, take it back and study your teammates properly." You don't shoot a lot today, you're very efficient, why don't you shoot more when you play with a bench? ”

"I don't know those teammates very well, I want them to shoot a few to see how they feel, if they can't open up, I'll shoot more, Morrow's scoring ability is very strong." This is clear to Zhou Xuan in the Summer League. Morrow came to the Warriors with his excellent performance in the summer league, and like Zhou Xuan, he has not signed a contract yet.

"Moreau can definitely stay, and you're a good fit to play with the pitcher, and if you let you drop the ball inside properly, you're losing your talent. Don't tell Morrow about it, the coaching staff will watch him for a while longer and I'll give you and him a lot of time to play in pre-season. Old Nelson had a gloating expression and smiled, "You're better than I thought." After the start of the new season, I believe the reaction of the Rockets will be interesting. ”

"Coach, do you think there are any shortcomings in my style of play that need to be improved?"

Zhou Xuan humbly asked for advice, but stopped old Nelson.

He played perfectly today, just Calderon's style of play, guaranteed shooting percentage, solid organization. As a rookie, his passing awareness is surprising and his sense of rhythm is good. His shortcomings are all physical, the opponent is misplaced and attacked, he is resisted at once, and the defense is a bit bad. This kind of shortcoming, the old Nelson is also embarrassed to bring up.

Say something? Nelson Sr. thought for a moment and said, "You're already good offensively, and if you have the chance, dare to shoot." Especially when teammates can't open, you should shoot more. Try to be with people when defending, I don't need you to defend very well, as long as you don't let people pull out on your head too easily after misalignment, that's all. Wait until you're done with the preseason. ”

"It's good." Zhou Xuan smiled, he knew that there was no problem with starting the new season.

"It's okay, you go out, I hope you can bring enough surprises to the fans in the preseason, we are going to China."

It is a pity that he failed to become Yao Ming's teammate, but after joining the Warriors, Zhou Xuan showed his strength. The Warriors still have two more games in China in the preseason, and the Chinese fans don't know how to welcome him. He had some expectations. Their opponent will be the Milwaukee Bucks.

Zhou Xuan took the information, and before leaving, he said, "Xie Lu, thank you, coach, I'm leaving." ”

The office door closed, and the elder Nelson sat on the couch with his eyes closed, smiling knowingly. The Warriors have picked up the treasure this time, thanks to that idiot assistant coach of the Rockets. If he is asked to teach the Rockets, he will definitely let Zhou Xuan start and send Alstom away. Passing awareness is the most difficult to cultivate, and Zhou Xuan is like a person born to pass the ball.

Generally, people with potential to join the NBA are physically strong, have low ball quotient, and lack of experience, and Zhou Xuan is undoubtedly an outlier. Even Chris. Paul, when he first entered the NBA, he didn't necessarily have as strong a passing awareness, right? At his age, Nash could only play as a substitute...... God, I actually met such a genius who was almost buried when I was about to retire, and it was the most difficult task you arranged for me to train him and let him play with confidence? I can do it for two years at most, will he help me achieve my championship dream?

Zhou Xuan returned to his residence and read the information for one night. The scouting analysis is very detailed, the skills that several main players are good at, the most accurate position of the shot is marked with a drawing, and the shot is an O, and the missed ball point X is thrown.

From these materials, the weaknesses of the Warriors can also be clearly seen. The team doesn't have anyone who is good at attacking in the low post. Harrington is a man who likes to play at a small forward, with a face-to-face offense and an outside shot, and such players are not very good at attracting packs. There are also problems on the defensive end, only Turiaf can resist people, Biedrins is just a relatively beautiful statistic, one-on-one low post defense is acceptable, the anti-blocking ability is average, the help defense is also very average, and the average game in fast-paced games is only 1. 2 caps.

The Warriors' offense this year mainly relies on shooting, and fortunately, there are many shooters, and Jackson, Margetty, and Harrington have all made sure of their jump shots. Morrow and Belinelli are accurate from the baseline, and Azubuke and Watson can also shoot. As long as you use people properly, both starters and substitutes can score.

Of course, Zhou Xuan is most concerned about how big a contract he can sign. He wants a three-year contract at which point he can have "Bird rights".

That's an exception to the re-signing clause in excess of the maximum amount of the salary cap. A team may renew the contract of a free agent of the team without the salary cap, and the renewing free agent must have played for the team for at least three years. Such a free man's salary can be increased by 12 per season. 5%, while signing other teams can only increase by 10%. This clause applies to "qualified veteran free agents", and after three years as a free agent, you are a "qualified veteran" and the NBA allows the parent team to give the player the maximum contract. It's called the Bird clause because the Celtics were the first team to allow more than the salary cap to keep a free agent, and that free agent was "Big Bird" Larry. Bird.

As long as Zhou Xuan plays a good level within three years, he can bring his family to the United States to settle down, buy a luxury house, drive a luxury car, hire a maid, and live the most luxurious life. A five-year, 45 million contract like Calderón's just signed can do that. In three years, he was confident that he would reach that level.

Four days later, Zhou Xuan remembered the shooting positions that everyone was good at, and the characteristics of Zhou Xuan. His performances have always been eye-catching, and his actions have shown the coaching staff that his outstanding performance is not accidental.

What's even more exciting is that he and Stephen? Jackson, Corey? Margeti showed an amazing tacit understanding, whether it was a positional attack or a fast attack, he played beautifully. As long as the attack is fast, Jackson and Zhou Xuan are responsible for the first pass after delay, and the other two are fast. In the positional attack, Zhou Xuan and Jackson are at the top of the arc, and the other is on the side, and they can cut or block the attack at any time.

Manager Mullin also watched the training from the sidelines, and when Zhou Xuan and Jackson assisted Margeti to score a dunk in succession, Mullin sighed. "Donner, I suddenly remembered us back then, they should be able to run and run."

"It's like the cycle of history, right? It's still a lot worse than you were back then, and this roster will make the playoffs at most, and if you send Harrington away for someone else, maybe there's a chance. ”

Veteran fans will remember the origins of the run-and-gun tactic and the "RUN-TMC combo".

"TMC" for Tim? Haddawi, Mitch? Richmond, Chris? Mullin's abbreviation, RUN is named after the popular rap band "Run-DMC".

At that time, "Beetle" Hardaway was already a feared playmaker when he first entered the league, and he dribbled the ball under the crotch with one hand, often turning the opponent around, accelerating away, and then changing layups in the air or dexterously distributing the ball to teammates in the open position. When AI first entered the league, it was full of energy to compete with Hardaway for his crotch dribbling skills, which shows that Hardaway's prestige is widespread.

"Rock" Richmond's dribbling skills are also extraordinary, throughout the nineties, looking at the whole league, the players who can compete with Jordan in the scoring guard position are Reggie Miller, Drexler and a few others, which must include Richmond. From 1988, when he entered the NBA with the Warriors, to his last season with the Kings in 1998, Richmond averaged over 20 points for ten consecutive seasons and was named an All-Star six times. His jumper was so dashing that there were few players in the league who could defend him one-on-one.

"God's Left Hand" Chris? Mullin is needless to say. In the 1991-1992 season, the first team in the league, the main member of the Dream Team, occupied the top 10 positions in the NBA scoring list for many years, and has always been the leader of the league in terms of shooting percentage. His God-given left hand seems to have a magical power, always gracefully putting the ball into the hoop when his opponents are blocked, and he has become a nightmare for all opponents.

A top-notch point guard, a scoring guard with super scoring ability, one of the best small forwards in league history, what kind of chemistry happens when these three guys come together?

The opponent struggled to catch up behind them, trying to stop Richmond's super-fast speed in the fast break, but in vain. The defender spread his hands and followed Hardaway's movements to the left and right, trying to stop his breakthrough, but in vain. The defender arrived in time to block Mullin's shot, but when he landed, he heard a crisp sound of brushing the net. In this way, TMC wreaked havoc on the opponent's defense all season, and in the 1990-1991 season, they combined to average 72 per game. 5 points, 15. 3 rebounds and 16. 8 assists! The scores of all three people are in the top 11 in the league! In that crazy season, the Warriors started the season with a 162-158 victory and defeated the Central and Western Conference champions San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. Their season ended in a fast-paced, high-scoring series as the Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

Nelson Sr. single-handedly created the crazy trident, first convincing Mullin, who was so addicted to drinking and delaying his career, to quit drinking, and then single-handedly luring him to stardom, then picking Hardaway in the draft, and finally getting Richmond in a trade, and making this league-wide trembling combination take shape. However, the good times didn't last long, and at the end of that crazy season, the team inexplicably traded Richmond to the Sacramento Kings, and TMC came to an end.

Some things are more amazing because they are short-lived. Although they have been together for less than two years, the memory impact that TMC has brought to fans is far-reaching and long-lasting.

Interestingly, Mullin is now the general manager of the Warriors, and Richmond is his assistant, and it was thanks to their efforts that the Warriors were able to bring back the old Nelson and knock out the regular season championship in the first round.

Now the core of the team is Stephen, who is at the peak of his career? Jackson, the newly introduced swingman who can score Corey? Margeti. Point guard Zhou Xuan is a rookie, certainly not as good as Hardaway, but he also shows amazing talent. In the new season, the old Nelson has a full understanding of the team's tactics, and he wants to create a weakened version of "RUN-TMC"! When Monta. When Ellis returns, the Warriors should be a team to look forward to.
