Chapter 15: The Importance of Rhythm
"Watch out for his passes!"
After a while, the Hornets were already alert.
The head coach on the sidelines roared at the court, which made their point guard look tense!
But how can you prevent it?
Young defenders have little experience in this area.
"Tim!" Xu Xuan in front of him suddenly shouted.
"Tim?" The young defender's face changed: "Passing the ball? ”
"No! Give me a stop! The young defender didn't know where to burst out, and he went straight in the direction of Tim Hardaway with a hideous face!
But at this time...... Xu Xuan's foot that poked out suddenly retracted, took a step under his crotch, adjusted the rhythm, and shot three points!
"It's coming, it's Xu Xuan's first offensive shot of this game!"
"It's a three-pointer! Got it?! ”
"With !!"
The basketball obediently drilled into the net, and the ball went in!
Three points scored!
"Nice shot! Buddy! ”
"Good shot!"
Xu Xuan shook his finger at the young defender with a blushing face: "Hey, man, I don't just pass the ball!" ”
Xu Xuan: Male
Age: 19
Rating: 240
Possession of Talents:
Stephen Curry's three-point – bronze
Aaron Iverson's breakthrough – bronze
Russell Westbrook's body – bronze
Jason Williams' pass – bronze
After a few days of competition and training, his rating went up a bit again to 240, but the four talents remained unchanged, all of them were still bronze.
However, even if it is a bronze-level talent, with good adjustment of vacancy and rhythm, Xu Xuan's three-point shooting rate is definitely not low!
Many people will subconsciously ignore the problem of shooting rhythm in singles, but in fact, this is a very important part of the attack!
Like the bearded Harden, he's the quintessential rhythm player.
When he's in his own rhythm, it's not very useful to defend anything.
So it's not uncommon to see Harden hit some particularly difficult goals, and that's the rhythm problem!
......
On the field, the game lasted 8 minutes, and Xu Xuan was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one among the ten people on the field!
In 8 minutes, Xu Xuan has already scored 8 points and 5 assists, shooting 3 of 4 and 2 of 3 three-pointers.
Scoring follows time, and nothing gets better than this!
"Well done!"
"Good fight!"
"Hey, man, can you pass me the ball later?"
The players have a good impression of Xu Xuan, he is low-key, and he plays the ball very well, the key is that he seems to be very good at passing.
No one wants to offend a defender who is so good at passing, except, of course, Sean Larkin.
Xu Xuan grabbed his starting position, and the most important thing is that he played better than him!
However, Larkin didn't dare to make any more unusual moves, as a player from Dallas, he technically belonged to the "rookie" level of the Knicks.
Maybe in front of a player like LeBron, the head coach is a mascot, but in front of a recruit like him, neither the head coach nor the rest of the coaching staff can be offended.
Obviously, Rambis's focus is now on Xu Xuan.
In this 40-minute game, Xu Xuan almost played for 30 minutes!
That's longer than the first two games combined!
Xu Xuan did not live up to this playing time, and finally handed over a 20-point, 9-assist and almost double-double data.
Rambis has already decided that if Xu Xuan can still play so well in the next few games, he will recommend Xu Xuan to the old fish Fisher and the old Zen master!
This year's format is the same as last year's cup format, which means that in addition to the round-robin round-robin, there will also be a knockout and a championship match.
According to the schedule, the round-robin tournament will be held from July 11 to 15, with the knockout round starting on July 16 and the final winner will be decided on July 21.
Teams are ranked according to their results in the round-robin, followed by a knockout round from 9th to 24th, with the losers of these eight matches playing one more match against each other, and the winners going head-to-head against the top eight teams in the round-robin to determine the quarterfinals.
The eight-out-of-four match is played on July 19, with the loser no longer playing, while the winner plays the semi-finals on July 20. The winner of the semi-finals will compete for the title on July 21, and the losers of the semi-finals will no longer play against each other.
The Knicks didn't play very well and were eliminated early.
But this did not affect Xu Xuan's personal performance.
When Lambis wrote his personal comments on this summer league, he added a lot of ink to Xu Xuan!
"Organizational ability, big picture, broad vision, very representative offense, three points are the main means of scoring, solid breakthrough footwork, good style of play, slightly poor defensive ability, positioning - bench scoring, organizational personnel."
After thinking about it, he wrote below: "Modest character, cautious, hard training, good understanding of tactics!" ”
Rambis's comment is important!
Because the old fish Fisher and the old Zen master don't have that much time to care about the summer league, let alone watch the video of this game, the comments given by Lambis and his personal impression will even affect the final signing and contract issues!
Of course, Xu Xuan didn't know how Lambis wrote about himself in the comments, but he estimated that it shouldn't be bad.
So he called Carson directly and informed him that he could start negotiations on the contract!
......
Rambis's comments soon appeared on Fisher's and Zen master's desks.
"Xu Xuan? Chinese? The old fish muttered suspiciously.
Lao Yu has been busy this time, and he has been cleaning up Mike Woodson's mess since the Zen master announced that he would become the head coach of the Knicks.
And the meeting with top stars such as Melon and Xiao Si also made him exhausted.
Fortunately, he had accumulated enough prestige as a player, otherwise......
He doesn't know enough about Xu Xuan, but just a few comments from Rambis are worthy of his attention!
"Could this be a good seedling?"
As someone who has played against Da Yao and most of them, Lao Yu Fisher is not as unbearable as other Chinese players.
Give them time and space, they're still very nice!
The first impression was good, Lao Yu put Xu Xuan's comments aside and didn't think much about it.
The old Zen master also saw Xu Xuan's comment report here, but he has too many things, and a little rookie is obviously not qualified to let him turn his energy around, but since Dolan likes it very much, it's not that he can't give him a chance?
He can dictate to Mills and Lao Yu, but he will still maintain a certain amount of respect for his boss Dolan!
