226. Plan ahead

At halftime, the players from both sides walked into the passage, and the locker room of the basketball hall was also a mysterious place, but Jiang Qi finally didn't have to worry about the locker room.

Of course, despite his limited knowledge of basketball, he is also trying to guess what adjustments Thibodeau will make from the perspective of a pseudo-fan bystander. At this time, the effect of these three rookies on the court together is very unsatisfactory, and the main thing is the point guard, Alston can distribute the ball, but cannot distribute the ball to the right player at the right time, which is both limited by talent and acquired effort.

The easiest way at the moment is to strengthen the attacking power on the outside, whether it is to put Van Exeld or Crawford in the starting lineup, the team's attack will be significantly improved, but the team's tandem needs to be played by someone else, because the same two players are actually SG roles, not PG No. 1 positions.

The rookie director was speculating about Uncle Tom's mind in his head, and suddenly felt that someone was stabbing him in the arm, and just reacted that it was Teresa, but he suddenly realized that the direction was wrong, and he cleared the distractions in his head only to see that it was Xue Bing.

"Looks like it's your turn."

"Playing?" , Lao Jiang was surprised at first, and then naturally looked at the field along Xue Bing's point, only to find that the host was smiling at him, and next to him was Da Yao's slightly embarrassed face.

The camera lenses are all aligned, Jiang Qi had no choice but to go up, after some explanation by the host, it became clear that this was a program arranged by the organizer in the middle of the field, and Lao Jiang and Da Yao would compete in basketball skills, but it was a real surprise attack for the rookie director......

The host stretched out the microphone, "Mr. Jiang, what are you going to compare with Da Yao?" ”

"Let's shoot a basketball." After a little consideration, Jiang Qi gave the answer, and seized the initiative by the way, "In this way, in order to compensate for the damage caused by your surprise attack on me, ahem, I will decide the rules of this shooting competition." ”

"Deal!" , the host is very happy, in his opinion, as long as these two people stand on the field, it is enough to attract attention.

"Each person shoots five shots, three free throws, two three-pointers, the score is still one free throw, the three points count as three points, and in the end it adds up to a comparison, and the loser needs to answer a question from the audience." , Saying that, Lao Jiang also squeezed his eyes at Da Yao, in fact, he simplified the rules to determine the conditions after the victory and defeat, more so that Yao Ming had more time to go back to the locker room to rest.

When the host hesitated to suggest increasing the number of shooting rounds, Da Yao had already spoken: "Then, I'll do it first!" ”

Yao Ming's free-throw shooting percentage is well known, winning three points steadily, and then stepping back beyond the three-point line and raising his hand, the first three-pointer was missed......

There was a sound of regret at the scene.

The second three-pointer looked more casual, but he didn't expect to stumble on the basket and finally fall in, and immediately won a cheer from the audience!

"Six!" , the host waved his fist excitedly, "Da Yao shot a three-pointer, a total of six points, now let's see the upstart of our alliance!" ”

Jiang Qi's free throws completely went to the small frame in the middle of the rebound, and the shooting rate was passable, two out of three, which made many viewers not very optimistic about him, but they didn't expect the rookie director to retreat behind the three-point line and jump in an extremely standard posture, and then hit a three-point ......

The audience was in an uproar......

It's a pity, it seems to confirm that the first shot hit was entirely due to the goddess of fate yawning or something, and the second head was very happy......

"Five points! That's quite a result! The host took the lead in slapping.

Lao Jiang shrugged his shoulders very shamefully, "Okay, the loser accepts questions from the audience, I think Da Yao, as the winner, should go back to the locker room quickly, otherwise Mr. Van Gundy's roar will come from the passage." ”

Receiving a very embarrassed but obviously grateful smile from the little giant, Jiang Qi had no choice but to jump into the pit he had dug. As the head coach on another field, Jiang Qi will actually understand the pain and exhaustion of the players better, such an occasion and such an event actually seem to him to be inappropriate.

However, Jiang Qi, who jumped into the pit, naturally did not come out so easily, and the audience who was named had a shy smile on his face, but the question was, "May I ask who is this beauty next to Mr. Jiang?" ”

Someone suddenly felt a few cold gazes that seemed to pierce his back......

After this half-time episode, this Chinese match in Beijing began to really exude the flavor of entertainment. However, it is unknown why Thibodeau continued to use the first-half personnel in the second half, while Van Gundy spent more time putting Yao Ming and Maddy on the court, but Sura and Jim Jackson were deliberately cut back on their playing time, and it seems that the bald Jeff has begun to think about the positioning of the two outside ball-carriers.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Hawks by 13 points with two excellent performances in the second half, and the most anticipated Tracey scored 41 points in the game, once again proving his reputation as the leading scorer, Yao Ming also showed maturity in the second half, and the score of 22 points and 13 rebounds was very much in line with Zhang's positioning as the cornerstone of the team. What made Van Gundy's face even more happy was that he finally saw a scene where a big man on the outside could echo the big man on the inside as he wanted......

Two days later, the two sides will move to the magic capital for the second China match, and before that, Thibodeau first found Jiang Qi, a rookie director.

"We need to prepare!" , which is Uncle Tom's opening line.

Seeing Jiang Qi's expression of waiting for the next sentence, Thibodeau continued to make a note on this sentence, "The rookies we selected this year are indeed very talented, Andre and Josh are undoubtedly athletic, and defense is two good materials, but our outside offense has a problem. ”

"Josh's mid-range shooting is unstable, and the choice of offensive timing is not good, Andre lacks three-point ability......", Thibodeau shook his head helplessly, "If you want them to improve on offense, then it will take at least two or three seasons of training, or you may need to sacrifice results to build a foundation, in fact, the two of them do not lack offensive ability, because they have an enviable body, but the ability to attack with the ball is really ......"

Speaking of which, in fact, Jiang Qi had fully understood Thibodeau's thoughts, but he chose to listen.

"We're not going to have them score all the time on fast offense, right...... There are two ways to solve this problem, one is to find a point guard like Jason Kidd, but that is more difficult than climbing to the sky, and the other is to simply bring in a player with super offensive ability with the ball as the main point of attack for outside firepower! ”
