When it was learned that Chen arrived at the arena at about five o'clock, Carlisle and Sam Gauder glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw the incredible. Ｘ

But then, from Carlisle's eyes, Sam Gauder saw more heartfelt surprise and appreciation.

Carlisle was indeed pleasantly surprised, and he still had some doubts about Chen Zhi staying in China for the entire offseason, rather than training in the United States.

Although after this guy came back, his height did increase by a point, which is enough to prove that his mysterious old Chinese medicine doctor's words are quite reliable.

And, it seems that Cuban's bonus to scout Joe Jason was not in vain, and many of the details in his scouting report are solid, such as Joe writing in the report, "This guy is going to be the kind of hard-working player that coaches like the most." ”

When Carlisle and Sam Gauder entered the training room, Chen was doing three-point shooting training with the help of Zhou Jian.

“1、2、3… 9、10！ ”

After hitting 10 balls in a row from one point, Chen Zhi moved to another point to proceed, and if he missed, he started all over again, looking for a stable sense of continuous hitting.

"This kid's three-point shooting is definitely the best in the NBA!." Sam Gauder watched Chen Zhi hit one after another, and couldn't help but say.

Carlisle nodded when he saw this, "The first time you saw him, he was already his current height, and when I met him a few months ago, he was much lower than he is now, and I was shocked by his accurate three-point shot and his passing sense on the court, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Mark to take him to Dallas!" ”

"If he knew that he was getting the top salary, and you played an important role in it, I guess he would be grateful!" Sam Golde said when he heard this.

"Probably, but he doesn't need to know that." Carlisle said unconcernedly.

Just as Dirk suggested trading Jason Kidd to Dallas, he was against it, and Dallas would be too costly. Facts have proved him right, Kidd did not adapt to the tactical play of Dallas at the beginning, but he is a historical point guard after all, and finally successfully integrated into the tactical system of the Dallas Mavericks after a long period of adjustment.

Later, when Dirk suggested trading Rajon Rondo to Dallas, he once again stood up against it, but it still didn't work, but in the end, it turned out that Rondo really didn't fit the tactical system that Dallas built around Nowitzki, and Rondo's presence hurt the team's space on the court.

The trade hurt both Rondo and Dallas, and Rondo ended up with a disastrous Kings that hurt his salary and reputation.

All of this, including the signing of Chen, is just fulfilling his responsibilities as a head coach.

Only this time, Cuban followed his advice, maybe from the Rondo trade, he found that his vision is still more accurate than the old driver, and Dallas really has no good options, Deron Williams is definitely not their first choice, he is old, the injury situation is not optimistic, and the impact is not enough.

Chen Zhi naturally noticed the arrival of Carlisle and Sam Gauder, but he didn't stop his training to say hello, and obviously they didn't mean to bother him.

Chen Zhi continued to practice his three-point training.

Recently, he has been practicing his three-point shooting, and it stands to reason that he doesn't need to do such a lot of three-point practice after going through the three-point training of the ball soul system.

But he found that he did have to practice his three-point shot, and after his height and arm span increased through the ball soul system, the bounce height and shooting feeling of his three-point shooting in the ball soul training gym had changed slightly.

But fortunately, his height and arm span have gradually increased, and after that, he has been practicing three-point shooting frantically to gradually adapt to these changes, and finally maintain a high three-point shooting percentage.

Seeing Carlisle and Sam Gourd still on the sidelines after he practiced another set of three-pointers, Chen felt that it would be a bit rude for him to say hello again.

"Chen, Coach Carlisle just said, there are some things to say to you."

Seeing Chen Zhi coming to say hello, Sam Goode couldn't help but say, the smile on his face was very teasing, Carlisle came over early this morning, and his thoughts were in vain, but obviously he didn't regret it, because the result made him very satisfied.

Carlisle touched the regained inch when he heard this, his height of 196 cm seemed to have shrunk a little after entering old age, but it was still much taller than Chen Zhi.

"Listen, son, I'm very pleased with your performance. But as the head coach of the team, I have to ask you a lot more, which is very important for you and the Dallas Mavericks! Carlisle swore recklessly.

"I saw your performance during the tryout and the summer league game, the attacking ability, the defensive awareness and the level of organisation were very good. There are only two things that I want to see that you don't show, one is the ability to do without the ball and the other is the ability to command on the field. ”

Sam Gauder on the side heard this and found that this was indeed the case, and he had agreed to join the Mavericks coaching staff in July, and his main task, Coach Carlisle, had already made it clear to him.

So Chen Zhi's few video materials of this player, he has studied them many times, but he really didn't pay attention to these things, because he was only paying attention to Chen Zhi's technical characteristics.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but nod when he heard this, usually he plays the role of the ball holder on the court, once the basketball is out of his hand, he either attacks by himself, or hands the ball to his teammates with the best chance to finish, that is to say, before that, most of the time, the ball is in his hands and he plays alone.

In a low-level team, he can be an absolute mainstay, and it will help the team as well.

But in the NBA, the highest temple of basketball, every player is a talented existence, and he is also an arrogant guy, and too few opportunities to touch the ball will make them disgusted and even extremely disgusted.

In the end, Chen Zhi's "independence" will definitely hurt the team's chemistry, so in many cases, Chen Zhi needs to play without the ball, which can not only enrich the team's offensive tactics, but also mobilize teammates, to put it bluntly, Carlisle doesn't want Chen Zhi to be too "alone"!

As for the command ability, as Carlisle said, Chen Zhi is usually almost paranoid to adapt to the offensive and defensive rhythm of his teammates, and rarely gives instructions to his teammates, which is what he can only do with his super passing talent.

But at the same time, it also occupies most of his energy, so his attack doesn't look so strong.

"Of course, you didn't show tactical command ability, mainly because your previous team didn't have many tactics, so come with me, I have something to give you!" Carlisle looked at Chen Zhi thoughtfully, and said with great satisfaction.

American Airlines Center Arena, Head Coach's Office, Carlisle took out a few heavy and old notebooks from the desk drawer and handed them to Chen Zhi, and said with a smile, "Carlisle's tactical study notes, from the first day as an assistant coach to the present, all the tactical learning experience and summary, of course, include dozens of tactics commonly used in Dallas!" ”
