Chapter 18 The First Opponent Is a Woman

Becky? Harmon, the head assistant coach of legendary San Antonio Spurs coach Popovich and the first full-time female coach in NBA history, has already made a name for herself as a player, and if you compare the history of the NBA with China, Harmon is the Wu Zetian in NBA history. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Di Renjie once said: From the moment Wu Zetian became the emperor, she can no longer be regarded as a woman! In Wang Zhuo's view, Wu Zetian can become the only female emperor in Chinese history, and she is already stronger than all men in the world.

So, before Wang Zhuo knew that the head coach of the Spurs Summer League was Becky? When Hamon was in the slightest, he didn't dare to relax in his heart, but he felt like he was facing a great enemy, and there was a good saying: "Conquering a woman is equivalent to conquering the whole world!" ”

In the NBA, Popovich's name alone is enough to make people daunting, and Hamon, as Popovich's chief assistant coach, must have a deep heritage, if these factors are added up, Wang Zhuo still looks down on her because Harmon is a woman, then it can only be said that Wang Zhuo suddenly had a brain cramp.

The next morning, when Wang Zhuo appeared at the training ground, all the players were there, and they were neatly tied up to welcome Wang Zhuo's arrival.

Wang Zhuo was not the slightest surprised, because he knew that after yesterday's training, the player's consciousness and enthusiasm had been completely stimulated, and the player knew what to do without him mentioning his face, so when he left the locker room, Wang Zhuo would say that he would cancel the training of Zamabu.

Wang Zhuo stood at the front of the queue, waved his hand, signaled to return to the standing position, and the players immediately lined up neatly, waiting for Wang Zhuo's training instructions.

"Today's training is very simple, it's the most regular shooting practice!" Wang Zhuo didn't explain anything, but simply gave instructions for training.

If yesterday's training was to make a piece of loose sand twist into a rope, then today's training is to hope that the players will regain their self-confidence, after all, the law of basketball is to use shooting as the end after all, so when there is only one day left before the first qualifying match, Wang Zhuo chose to let them regain their confidence in free shooting.

Summer league training is not a slow process, only a few days, there is no other way than to promote the training method, players seize the opportunity to perform well can get a contract, otherwise, can only be rejected by the NBA, the situation is so simple and crude, clear and cruel.

Standing on the sidelines, looking at the galloping figure on the court and the parabola drawn by the basketball, Wang Zhuo had an inexplicable touch in his heart, not knowing whether the original choice was right or wrong, if he was alone, in the face of this magical arena, he could completely turn the tide by himself, but what he has to do now is not to become a hero, but to create a hero, a vast project that is far more difficult than becoming a hero.

At this time, a basketball rolled and stopped at Wang Zhuo's feet, he picked it up, raised his hand and threw it, the basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and with a "bang" sound, the basketball hollowed into the net, perfect ultra-long-distance three-point, and Wang Zhuoren stood outside the court.

The training ended in the players' amazement, they originally thought that Wang Zhuo was just an iron-blooded coach known for his strictness, but they didn't expect him to have such delicate shooting skills, so they had a little more respect for Wang Zhuo.

On July 11, 2015, New York time, the day after the start of the Las Vegas Summer League, the game between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs officially kicked off at 4:30 p.m.

After all, after the NBA Finals, fans who like basketball can only watch the games in the summer league, so the stadium is still crowded, and there are only a few vacant seats.

When the players of the two teams walked to their respective benches through the players' tunnel together, Harmon and Wang Zhuo glanced at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in Hamon's eyes, Wang Zhuo could see that he was obviously unfamiliar with the new Knicks assistant coach, but Wang Zhuo did not have the slightest expression, so that the premier female coach could not guess what he was thinking at all.

"Take out your passes, take out your shots, don't think about anything, offense is the main thing, attack! Attack! Attack! From now on, go to battle, warriors! ”

Before the game, Wang Zhuo simply made a speech that exaggerated the emotions of the players, although it was the first time to do such a thing, and the content was short, but it sounded decent.

Wang Zhuo still didn't formulate any tactics, because in such a short period of time, there was no point in using tactics, but he still made a strategy for the Spurs' style.

Popovich is best at defense, and Harmon must be affected by it, so Wang Zhuo refused to fight with Harmon to defend, play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and destroy their defense with attacks, to see if his spear is sharper, or Hamon's shield is harder, so in his speech before the start of the game, Wang Zhuo emphasized offense, and the important thing was repeated three times.

"Destroy their confidence with your good defense, remember, don't be like, make them look like!"

On the other hand, Harmon's fierce rhetoric repeatedly emphasized defense, completely forgetting that she herself is a, but no one in the Spurs players laughed, because they had already seen how good Harmon was, and even if they thought it was funny, they couldn't laugh at all at the moment.

"Hey, dear partner, if a strong woman and a scholar are in the ring for a boxing match, who do you think will win! I bet you that an angry woman can kill a ferocious lion with her bare hands! When the game entered the preparation stage, the commentators on the sidelines began to joke about Wang Zhuo and Hamon, as if the identities of the coaches of the two teams were more interesting than the game itself.

The on-site commentators would often make sarcastic jokes during the game, and sometimes the players, coaches and even referees would be ridiculed by them, so everyone present was used to it as a pre-match condiment, and no one would consider it a personal attack.

"No, old friend, I don't dare to assert that kissing a donkey's ass like Charles is not a glorious thing!" Another narrator apparently noticed this interesting phenomenon as well, but instead of taking the call, he cleverly blocked it.

Wang Zhuo and Harmon both behaved quite calmly, standing next to the bench without any reaction, and did not take the commentator's words to heart at all.

"Beep!"

When the whistle blew, Porzingis and the Spurs' center jumped the ball in the center circle, and from this moment on, the first game of Wang Zhuo's coaching career officially began.
