At the beginning of September, Jimmy Butler started school.

With Joe's sponsorship, Jimmy Butler no longer had to go to the slum school in Tombal, and Joe arranged for Jimmy Butler to attend Clemmons High School on the shores of Lake Winser.

This is one of the best high schools in the Houston area, and Clemmons is the best in the Houston area in terms of academics and athletics.

On the first day of school, Qiao Hai accompanied Jimmy Butler to school.

After the report, Jimmy Butler was divided into classes, and then he was called over by the school coach.

As a star player in the junior high school league, Jimmy Butler naturally got the opportunity to enter the varsity team as soon as he entered the school.

Clemmons High School's varsity team has attracted two of the middle league's star players this year, in addition to Jimmy Butler, the other being Mike McKrueger.

After the finals of the junior league, this is the second meeting between Qiao Hai and Mike McRuger.

Half a year has passed, little Mike McRuger looks very different, he was originally very thin, but now his arms are full of muscles, and the whole person has grown a lot at once.

It seems that he listened to Qiao Hai's advice.

"I'm physically strong and the confrontation is going up, but I'm shooting a lot worse now......" Mike McRueger was a little depressed.

"Mr. Qiao, what do you think I should do next?"

Seeing Qiao Hai again, he immediately stepped forward to ask, hoping that Qiao Hai could guide him again.

Qiao Hai glanced at Mike McKruger's various attribute data, there was no problem, none of the shooting-related attributes were reduced, and the physical attributes had all risen.

Seeing this, Qiao Hai understood.

"It's not a big deal, Mike, your problem now is that after suddenly gaining a lot of muscles, the previous muscle memory is lost."

"So, what you need to do now is get your shooting muscle memory back, and once you get it back, you'll be fine."

Mike McKruger nodded, puzzled: "Is it okay to get it back?" ”

Qiao Hai laughed: "Not only do you have to get it back, but you also have to further refine your shooting skills and strive to make it reach the historical level, which will be your biggest advantage." ”

After a few words of instruction to Mike McKruger, Joe Hai left Jimmy Butler, who had already joined the team, and left Clemmons High School, and he was about to start his own work.

……

"In the new season, our tactical style of play will not change much compared to last season, but the positioning of some players needs to be changed, and the new players also need to adapt to the new tactics and new positioning of the new team as soon as possible."

On September 20th, the players arrived at the Compaq Centre.

Qiao Hai stood in front of 16 players, 8 of the 16 players were veterans from last season, and the remaining 8 were all new signings.

"These are the training plans specially made for you by the coaching staff, one for each person, and you can practice according to this training plan for half a month."

"In the past half month, our focus has been on physical reserves and tactical training."

Stamlefour distributed training plans, one for each person, and the coaches also had them.

Then, the training begins.

On the first day of training, Qiao Hai supervised the whole process, and the veteran players and coaches knew that this may be Qiao Hai's only on-site supervised training this season.

In the morning, the first training was to run in circles, and Qiao Hai commanded it.

All the players began to run circles around the court, there was no limit to how long each person had to run, only a limited time, everyone had to run for an hour in a row, and they could walk slowly to rest if they were physically exhausted, but they could never stop.

Qiao Hai's tactics are not physically demanding, so this is just a regular physical reserve training.

After running in circles, Qiao Hai was given a ten-minute break, and then he called all the players again.

"In pairs, we started to pass the ball in pairs, from one side of the baseline to the other, running and passing, the purpose of this training is to practice everyone's passing on the one hand, and on the other hand, to make everyone remember the passing at all times."

Passing, this is the most emphasized point in Qiao Hai's tactics, everyone must remember passing, passing is the most important part of Qiao Hai's tactics.

Another hour of passing training.

The training camp that started at 9 o'clock suddenly came to more than 11 o'clock at noon, and Qiao Hai announced a two-hour break at noon and the start of lunchtime.

Rockets provided nutritious meals, which were basically sandwiches with chicken or beef.

Of course, there are nutritionists within the Rockets, so different players have different diet menus.

……

In the afternoon, Qiao Hai arranged another hour of shooting practice.

Shooting is also an important part of the Rockets' strategy, and everyone must be able to shoot except for a few interior blue-collar players.

After the shooting drill, the tactical training begins......

"Considering the presence of new players, our new tactics need to be practiced from scratch......"

Qiao Hai brought another stack of tactical manuals, one for each person, and distributed them.

"In the new season, our regular style of play will be to block and cover in the high position, supplemented by the air cuts and breakthroughs of small players on the outside."

With a breakthrough killer like Wade, an all-rounder on the offensive end like Gary Payton, and Ron Artest, who has been running in for a season and going straight on offense, how the Rockets' offensive tactics should play is already very clear.

Qiao Hai divided the team into a group of main teams, including the newcomer Gary Payton, last season's three main players Yao Ming, Chris Anderson and Ron Artest, and the top star Dwyane Wade.

A group of bench teams included point guard Raf Alston, scoring guard Jamal Crawford, small forward Kyle Korver, power forward Boris Dior and center Greg Ostertag.

The remaining six make up the final team.

Qiao Hai's tactical training mainly revolves around the main team.

"Yao, your position is in the high post, in this position, if there is no one to defend, you will receive the ball, if there is someone defending, you can also receive the ball, single, attract the pinch."

Yao Ming's position is in the high post, and in this position, Yao Ming, as a center forward, can pull the opponent's defense to the greatest extent, and sometimes even empty the opponent's penalty area.

In this way, the three small ones on the outside line will have the broadest space for breakthrough.

"Gary, Dwayne, you take turns to get the ball, stop the ball at the top of the arc, you can break through by yourself, you can also find Yao Ming to block and cover, or directly give the ball to Yao."

"One person gets the ball, and another person ambushes to the wing or cuts, Ron, your mission and positioning is the same as last season, cut or go to the bottom corner, outside the three-point line, and finally, Chris, your mission is the same as last season, between the basket and the bottom corner, waiting for an opportunity."

To sum up, the Rockets' style of play is to use Yao Ming's huge threat from mid-range to high posts to pull the defense, and then use the breakthrough ability of the small man on the outside to further pull the defense.

In the end, he managed to tear through the defense and then scored easily.
