Coach Stein is a head coach who can get into the groove very quickly, and when Yang Mo announced to him that he would be the next head coach, he immediately threw himself into the role of head coach and began to work around it. High-speed update //.

In a sense, he's more of the kind of guy who is ready and holds the opportunity in his hands when it comes.

Therefore, he found Yang Mo for the first time and talked to him: "Super-Yang, I want to confirm with you your future style of play now." Based on my observations in these games, you are very blind right now? It's like a bat without a radar, which will always appear in a position that makes you not fixed. ”

"Blind?" Yang Mo scratched his head, a little unresponsive, he said puzzledly: "What is the specific embodiment?" ”

"Specifically..."Stein hesitated for a moment, but still said very directly: "You don't play like a leader, but more like a role player, a high-end role player." When the team is short of rebounds, you go for the rebounds. When the team needs to score, you step up to score, and when the team needs to defend, you run to block the opponent's most ferocious firepower. But... You've never developed your true style. Shaq O'Neal will never be like you, here one moment, one moment there, Kobe Bryant, not LeBron. But, you... I've been doing it all the time. ”

Stein's words made Yang Mo suddenly understand something, it is undeniable that Stein said to the bottom of Yang Mo's heart, and his words made Yang Mo pause, letting him know that he had been playing a supporting role all along. And in fact, when he thinks about it, it is indeed like this. He's always going to be in the positions that the team needs to do, and those jobs should have been done in a supporting role.

"All-round is not a particularly good word, there are a lot of players in this world who claim to be all-round, but they are really not superstars. Lamar Odom, he's versatile, but he's still a supporting character. Even if the whole world says that LeBron is omnipotent, he only plays offense and organization to the extreme. He doesn't switch between four or five roles in a forty-eight minute space, he's always a small forward. Stein continued to say this while Yang Mo was thinking.

After Yang Mo heard this, he thought so. Although he is a great leader, he does play a supporting role on the court. He's always lying to fill in the gaps in the team, he's always making changes for the team.

Although this kind of transposition is conducive to the team's victory, it invisibly loses Yang Mo's own style. The all-round should be an assistant, not a daily job.

"Yes, you're right." Yang Mo thought for a while and nodded heavily. The head coach he promoted casually gave him enough surprises to wake up the dreamer with a word, and his words will directly change Yang Mo's entire career.

"And who do you think your template should be?" Stein continued: "You've got to find the right position and style of play for you, and then I'll build a new squad around you. If you continue to play such an endless number of supporting roles, it will be very difficult for this team to win the championship because you have done everyone's work, and the other players will not help you more. ”

"My goal now is the combination of Iverson and Ray Allen." Yang Mo said firmly.

"A shooting guard who can break through and run off the ball?" Stein said with a frown.

"Of course, I'm going to do everything I can to grab rebounds, whether it's frontcourt rebounds or backcourt rebounds." Yang Mo continued.

"It's okay, rebounding is your extra job." Stein nodded, and then said a little tricky: "This technical style of yours is actually in conflict with the current lineup, now the team needs the ball on the outside, and you don't have the ability to dominate the ball, your passing doesn't seem to be good enough." ”

"It's not bad enough, it's bad, sir." Yang Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head, laughing at himself. He continued: "But we're going to change it when the trade window opens, and I'm going to change myself, and then I'm going to train on passing. ”

"Huh!" Coach Stein smiled and said, "Regarding the lineup, I will communicate with Isaiah. In my lineup, only you, Milicic and Jeffries will have a definite place, and as for the others, they can be removed. ”

'I'm just giving advice, you're the manager, the decision is up to you.' Yang Mo nodded, he didn't interfere with Stein's decision, because this statement was very much in line with his mind, and Milicic and Jeffries were also the people he wanted to stay.

"So, are you sure you're going to be a breakout shooting guard and a three-point shooter?" Stein asked again before leaving.

Yang Mo nodded, and then added: "It's the Frontguard Swingman, I will continue to fill my arsenal, including the ability to assist, but basically that's what you said." ”

"Well, I'll equip you with an attacking partner who can attack from mid-range, and if possible, I'll trade in a strong power forward to match you. As for the center, it's definitely a defensive one. The point guard, on the other hand, just needs to be able to get the right ball at the right time and in the right way to you attackers. Stein described Yang Mo like this.

Yang Mo listened to it and thought about it carefully, if it is really structured according to Stein's blueprint, it is indeed extremely wonderful, there will be almost no overlap of personnel, and the superposition between them can make the team's offensive ability reach the top state. And this guy is a head coach with a defensive background, and if the offense and defense can be balanced, the championship is definitely expected.

This guy really has two brushes!

"Okay, just do as you say." Yang Mo nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll sort out the tactics first, and then gather the players to practice together and try the effect." After saying this, Stein quickly ran to the sidelines, opened his laptop, and carefully examined it.

Yang Mo was very satisfied when he saw his down-to-earth and diligent appearance. The reason why he originally asked Stein to be the head coach was just to make a transition. The other two assistant coaches are D'Antoni's descendants, and Yang Mo is not at ease looking for them, so he simply found this rookie who has just come up from the NCAA. Unexpectedly, this rookie was a blockbuster, and directly built a blueprint for the future of the team, and also found a position for Yang Mo, which has to be said to be a big surprise.

At this time, D'Antoni had already walked out of the general manager's office with a lonely face, obviously this way of being swept out of the house made him very faceless, and he was directly swept out of the house by a player.

When he stepped into the training hall, he still turned his head and glared at Yang Mo, looking like he wanted to eat Yang Mo raw. Yang Mo didn't take it seriously at all, and waved his hand at him very simply: Goodbye, sa yo lala!

Yang Mo is not afraid that D'Antoni will slap himself in the face in the future, in his opinion, D'Antoni's level of only attacking and defending will always be half-, and he will not be able to win the championship anywhere, even if he is given a deck of heavenly cards to enter the finals, he will be directly beaten to the spring!

D'Antoni's departure did not cast a shadow over the Knicks, but his departure made the hearts of those who wanted to rebel with him die.

And Stein quickly got into the work, and after fully examining the technical and tactical level of the players, he laid out his lineup: point guard Douglas, scoring guard Yang Mo, small forward Jeffries, power forward David Lee, and center Milicic lineup.

This lineup is not the strongest lineup of the Knicks, but it exerts Yang Mo's attack power to the extreme, making Yang Mo's offense very cool. Although the cooperation between them was not tacit enough, Yang Mo finally felt the feeling of a leader for the first time. It turns out that this is the core treatment!

Yang Mo was used to patching around, and suddenly everyone revolved around him, blocking and dismantling for his own attack, and he was suddenly so happy. Although his passing problems are also highlighted by this lineup, the... It's really fun!!

In the afternoon of the same day, the tactics were practiced for almost an hour. At the beginning, this lineup could only rely on Yang Mo to exert his strength, and gradually David Lee's attack power was also brought into play, and Douglas could occasionally score one or two goals. Originally, he was pressed and beaten by the sparring team, until the tacit understanding of the defense gradually came out, and finally occupied some advantages.

At this time, it had dragged on for more than half an hour, and the NBA has always been a place that pays attention to rules, so the team was quickly disbanded and did not continue to strike while the iron was hot.

After his teammates left, Yang Mo conducted a private practice, and he found a tool, which was the All-Star Game Skills Contest to test the world. Although it is very basic to hit the ground and pass through the ball. Yang Mo is still difficult to practice, and he failed to pass in more than 20 consecutive times at the beginning, which is much more difficult for him than shooting. After all, shooting is an upward force, while passing is a flat force, similar to the technique of pushing out.

Yang Mojia practiced until eight o'clock in the evening, but still did not make any progress.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up. It seems that Isaiah Thomas will have to teach a few tricks, after all, he is a point guard, and he must have some special skills.

Back home, snoozing and sleeping.

By this time, D'Antoni had already made headlines in the New York sports media, and he found reporters constantly crying about his suffering, and he described Yang Mo as a dictatorial and violent player, and fired himself at the slightest disagreement. He said that Yang Mo used his equity in MSG to ruthlessly suppress himself, and described himself as a devastated little flower.

Fueled by the New York media and a large number of sports media, Yang Mo's image was instantly fixed on the identity of the ball bully. Everyone is criticizing Yang Mo for being arbitrary, and even many basketball commentators have asked the league executives to check whether Yang Mo's signing with the Knicks is boring. They believe that with Yang Mo's current data, signing a contract with an average of about 10 million is too low, and it must be because of the equity transaction that led to this result.

And this argument quickly gained support from many teams in the NBA, who also believed that there was a black box deal.

This public opinion instantly covered D'Antoni's crying, after all, he is indeed a person with little ability, the NBA is originally a jungle of the jungle, and it is normal for you to be squeezed out if you are not strong enough. But if Yang Mo's signing is boring, then it's another matter, the current Knicks are like Zhongtian, if Yang Mo can leave the Knicks, it will undoubtedly be a wonderful thing for most teams.

Public opinion became more and more intense, and Yang Mo had to stand up and express his opinion: "When I was injured, no team ever offered me a contract, only the Knicks always believed in me, and only Mr. Isaiah Thomas always stood behind me." You said that the five-year contract of 60 million was low, why didn't you even give a contract of 5 million in the first place? As for the contract between Baofeng Brokerage and MSG, this is a business transaction between the two companies, and it has nothing to do with this signing. Both companies are entertainment companies, and there is nothing wrong with such a collaboration. In the end, the rumors stop at the wise, the clear are self-purifying, and the turbid are self-turbid! ”

Although Yang Mo's words did not shut up the question, they made the alliance officially issue a statement, and they ruled that the cooperation between Baofeng and MSG did not involve shady. After all, MSG is a listed company, and if they appear shady, there will naturally be securities companies to investigate them.

Official support has silenced those teams, but public opinion has been spreading, and all kinds of conspiracy theories have been rampant.

Yang Mo didn't pay attention to this at all, it was just a bunch of cats and dogs scratching their boots, let them scream!

As for D'Antoni crying in front of the media and playing the weak, Yang Mo didn't bother to deal with it. If you love to cry your nose, you can cry, you love to say that Lao Tzu is dictatorial and violent, and Lao Tzu also admits it, anyway, what is the love, as long as you don't show up in front of me.

Yang Mo ignored it, but the Knicks officially issued a statement, announcing that D'Antoni resigned as head coach for physical reasons, and assistant head coach Stein Keane took over the team.

This statement is covered by conspiracy theories, which seems a little funny and cute. Physical causes? Is it because he has cut off his fingers with a fruit knife? That's an expensive one!

When the outside world was in a commotion, Yang Mo found Isaiah Thomas at Madison Garden and asked him about the trick of passing, and he wanted to play better in the evening against the Atlanta Hawks.

However, after teaching Yang Mo for more than half an hour, Isaiah Thomas finally found the problem: "Man, I may not be able to teach you. Your hand is used to shooting threes, and you can't make a full passing wrist movement. You see, I'm like this...... Brush! ”

Isaiah Thomas took the ball and passed it straight into the hole.

"You try!" Isaiah Thomas said to Yang Mo.

When Yang Mo heard this, he also aimed the ball at the hole and passed it...... Boom! The basketball jumped straight over the hole in the net and flew to the sidelines. Yang Mo felt that he was obviously aiming, but he didn't fulfill his wish at all, and directly passed it into the air, which was very different from his three-point shooting rate.

"You're never passing the ball, you're always working on threes, so you're used to shooting up threes when you have the ball in your hands. So it's basically very difficult for you to make accurate passes, and it's even harder than if you practice shooting from mid-range. Because mid-range shooting is also an upward force, while passing is completely different. Isaiah Thomas said this to Yang Mo, which was tantamount to giving him bad news.

"Is there really no way?" Yang Mo asked in great distress, he needed to find a glimmer of hope that could be changed, he didn't want to be frozen, he still had to improve, he had to improve all the time.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas took a slight breath, his eyes lit up slightly, and said, "It's not that there is no chance at all, do you know a guy named Stockton?" ”

"Stockton?" Yang Mo frowned and asked, "You're talking about Stockton of the Jazz team, the one who blocked and dismantled with Karl Malone back then?" ”

"Yes, that's him." Isaiah Thomas nodded and said, "His passing power is different from the average person, it seems to be a little upward, although it looks simple, but it is very effective, which is why he can win the all-time assist king." I think if you learn from him, you can learn a little bit. ”
