Chapter 22: Undercurrents
In the end, both in terms of the number of goals and the total number of points, the white team actually took the lead, although it was only a few points ahead, but it also made the substitutes feel excited and confident.
In the NBA's intra-team training game, such a special situation occurs, and it is not an extraordinary thing, generally speaking, the results of basketball games are still based on strength.
Wang Tomorrow stood there indifferently, but the players and coaches looked at him differently.
The main players, including Kidd and Vince Carter, saw a demonic genius, only 25 years old, defeat a master tactician like John Loyer, who is also famous in the circle.
And John Loyer's face turned red and remained silent.
After the training match, the players will conduct half-court offensive and defensive drills, basic technical polishing, physical fitness training and so on.
Wang Mingming's work as a player development consultant is very busy in this period, on the one hand, he helps rookie Antoine White develop his ball handling skills, and on the other hand, he takes the initiative to find veteran Clevered Robinson.
"What's wrong, Coach?"
Out of affirmation of Wang's strength tomorrow, Clifford Robinson smiled.
Cleverd Robinson, 40 years old, is the oldest player on the Nets, a veritable veteran, but because of the weakness of the Nets' bench, he has to play the role of the team's sixth man, playing about 23 minutes per game.
He was in very good shape, at his peak, during the '92-96 season with the Trail Blazers, during those years, he averaged 20.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 4 out of 5 from the field and 3 out of 7 from three-point range.
Generally speaking, when attacking, he is an inside breakthrough outside shot, 6 feet 10 inches tall to shoot three points on the perimeter, which makes the big defensive centers in this period very embarrassing, first-class running and jumping, excellent defensive awareness, and has been selected for the best defensive second team twice in his career. In '90 and '92, he followed the Trailblazers to the finals twice, which is also a great achievement.
After the Trail Blazers defeated the Jazz in Game 4 of the '94 Western Conference Finals, Clifford Robinson showed off his dancing skills after the game, and since then he has been known as "Uncle Cliffor" and his nickname has remained with him for life.
Wang Mingming's mind quickly flashed these Cleaved Robinson's career information, organized the language, and then said: "Cleaved, I can help you with some recovery training, my technique is very good, you ........ In short, it can allow you to reduce physical tiredness. ”
"Really, Coach!" Clifford Robinson was overjoyed when he heard this, and without hesitation, he believed in Wang's ability tomorrow.
"Recovery training from the East, you don't have to do anything, just sleep quietly for an hour!" Wang Ming said with a smile, pinching his hands at the air.
"The mystical power of the East?" When Clifford Robinson heard this, he lay on his stomach on the ground.
In fact, there was also a recovery master to defend and maintain his muscles, Wang Mingming nodded at him, but the man showed a touch of vigilance, Wang Mingming was obviously going to come over to grab business.
Calling up the veteran massager, Wang Tomorrow took matters into his own hands and began massaging Cleverd Robinson.
Clifford Robinson only felt a stream of heat coming from his back, and he cycled through his knees and lower back, which he had been struggling with for the past two years.
Soon, he fell asleep, and when he woke up again, the tiredness of his body was gone.
"It's amazing, Coach, you're a god!"
Wang Mingming showed a light smile, with a master's demeanor.
The massager is even better than he is in the phenomenon, after he uses it, he just needs to sit here and look at Clifford Robinson, the quality of the system is excellent, he acts as a human body medium, just an hour of time is really real, not a minute is missing.
"It's not for the sake of today's veteran to resume training missions......."
Wang has already completed three tasks tomorrow, and at this time, the afternoon training is about to end, and he will work overtime in the evening to complete the tasks of "video study" and "tactical atlas reading", and he is expected to complete all tasks today.
......
Night, Manhattan, New York.
Nets owner Bruce Ratner's luxury estate villa.
Bruce Ratner is a well-known American real estate tycoon, holding the vast majority of the Nets and arenas, and is the first person in charge of the Nets in the true sense.
In addition to business, he is also very keen to manage his own team.
"You're saying that the team now has an Asian basketball coach? And only 25 years old? ”
Ratner snuffed out the cigar in his hand, a look of dissatisfaction on his face, after hearing the news, he felt a little disappointed, Ed Vansage simply lived up to his trust!
"He had previously participated in an interview with the New York Knicks, but was rejected by Isaiah Thomas, and then he was recruited by the general manager, and now he has been playing with the team for half a month!"
Sitting in front of Ratner was John Loyer, the first assistant coach who was still competing with Wang tomorrow in the afternoon.
John Loyer has actually always been Ratner's direct reporter, and head coach Frank is talented, but he is not very willing to deal with the top management, and Loyer is keen on this, so under Ratner's promotion and arrangement, Loyer became the team's first assistant coach, and indirectly helped Ratner to intervene in the management of the team.
"How's the record in the past half a month?"
"4 wins, 3 losses, just over 50 percent."
Ratner shook his head and snorted coldly, "Ed Vansage is really getting more and more nonsense, how can the team manage it like this?" Who are these applicants, can I really pay my salary casually? ”
John Loyer's face was overjoyed, and he quietly poured a glass of water for Ratner.
"By the way, what is his strength?"
Ratner is not stupid, this time he invited John Loyer, John Loyer took the initiative to bring up this matter, he must have asked clearly.
John Loyer hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied:
"Boss, I think he still needs to continue to learn, maybe he is suitable to go to a young team to hone himself, or to work in a team outside of the playoff spots, and at the moment we are aiming for a championship."
John Loyer's meaning is obvious, Wang tomorrow is the quality, but not up to the Nets' requirements.
Ratner was relieved after hearing this, "I just said that the overall level of basketball in Asia is not high, after so many years, I have seen that Yao Ming of Houston is still a star, how can there be any great coaches." ”
Then he thought about it and made a decision: "I'll talk to Ed Vanschi tomorrow and ask him to find an assistant coach again, this season our Nets have to make a breakthrough in results no matter what, and we can't lose in the playoffs anymore, and the tickets for labor and management are almost unsold!" ”
