Chapter 284: Preparing for the Christmas War

Bobo didn't rush to let Jiang Haoran join the training, but said with a cold face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Becky Harmon knew that Popovich was talking about the defender, but he was actually referring to Jiang Haoran alone.

Spurs is a team that is good at defense and leads offense with defense, and the offensive end has always been the most troublesome thing for Spurs.

The reason why he only shows Jiang Haoran offensive tactics is also a long-term consideration for Popovich, since Jiang Haoran is so good at attacking, then simply give full play to his offensive talent.

And all the Spurs' offense is initiated by guards, and now Duncan's age, the number of low-post singles has become less and less, so whether a guard can revitalize the whole team is particularly important.

And Mills and Parker are not offensive point guards, and the kind of point guard who revitalizes the whole team can only be Harden Weishao, who has super offensive power on the outside, so Jiang Haoran took this position.

If Jiang Haoran chooses not to leave the Spurs the following year, Popovich is already planning a backcourt duo of Kawai and Jiang Haoran in the future, one is the best defensive player, and the other can become the best offensive player?

Jiang Haoran left the locker room, of course he didn't know that the management of the Spurs would think so much, but in his mind, he had indeed memorized those four sets of offensive tactics.

"I'm Cao, what's going on?" Jiang Haoran looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was only nine o'clock, not to mention that all the personnel were there, and they were already sweating profusely.

And his personal trainer Dennis, including the personal trainers of other players, was all present, and even the agent was let in.

At this time, only the assistant coach is sparring, and there is no clear training goal, but all the players train autonomously in their weakest areas.

"What's going on?" Jiang Haoran entered the court and wanted to pull Bonner, who was holding an iron basketball to contact the shooting posture, to ask, but he practiced too seriously and didn't notice Jiang Haoran calling him at all.

"Brother Zhao, what's the situation?" Jiang Haoran could only ask the agent first.

At this time, his personal trainer Dennis came over and said very strictly: "Jiang, you haven't had systematic training for four days, and you have to be ready for additional training today." ”

"I know, I'm asking why did they train so early and so hard?" Needless to say, Jiang Haoran will strengthen his training, and his muscles have not been exercised for a few days, and he obviously feels uncomfortable.

"Haven't you seen the schedule?" Dennis looked at Jiang Haoran in surprise, didn't an NBA player even remember the schedule?

Players usually know the schedule a week in advance, so that they can be mentally prepared for the players they are facing and the team they are going to face.

Particularly good at this kind of thing is the current Bucks coach Jason Kidd, what he must do every day is to look at the schedule, not only look at his team's schedule, but also look at the opponent's recent schedule, which is so magical that he can predict the opponent's physical strength and desire to play, so he can take the Bucks to end the Warriors' 24-game winning streak.

Those who don't look at the schedule are either super singles champions like Kobe who ignore all opponents, or players like Jiang Haoran who simply forget.

"I'll go, Americans value Christmas, you know?" Zhao Xianjing was worried that Jiang Haoran was in a daze.

"Nonsense."

"Tomorrow away against the Timberwolves, the day after Christmas, you still play, but the league is very humane and didn't let you run more, Texas Civil War, play the Houston Rockets!"

“what！” Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, he had been thinking about when he would meet the Rockets this season, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

"In other words, our Spurs are going to play the Christmas game, and the opponent is the Rockets?"

"Yes, the schedule is not good for us, but this game is too meaningful and we have to win it." At this time, Simmons brought mineral water to his teammates in civilian clothes, and winked at Jiang Haoran by the way, meaning: Rely on you brother, I have a strained ligament.

"Gone!" As soon as Jiang Haoran took off his coat, he began to warm up on the sidelines.

This Nima, the Spurs actually played the Christmas war! This is something Jiang Haoran couldn't have imagined, the Spurs, who have an underdeveloped ball market, haven't played a Christmas war for two years, and the last Christmas war was two years ago, when it was also against Houston, and it was also Houston's home stadium, but I didn't expect it to be the Spurs' turn two years later.

No wonder the Spurs are so serious, since they can't go home to enjoy Christmas Eve with their families at Christmas, they must win the game to bring a new year to their family and friends!

Jiang Haoran, who was stretching his muscles, also subconsciously became much more serious.

Christmas is a time for Asians to have a good time and look at the Christmas tree, but for Westerners, it is the same as the Chinese New Year, a major festival to remove the old and welcome the new.

Westerners are also superstitious, if you can win the game on Christmas Eve, it will represent the good luck of the second year, a good start, that's what it's about.

And why does the league fry Christmas every year? The league could have arranged in advance to take all players out on Christmas Day! It is precisely because of the economic benefits and national participation brought by that day that the alliance hyped it up every year.

A team represents a city, and Jiang Haoran is standing behind them with the whole city, and on Christmas Day, the feeling of the whole city participating will be especially obvious.

Because there are no football games, no baseball games, only NBA games on Christmas Eve, the Spurs represent the Holy City in Houston on Christmas, which is the glory of the city, and I wonder how many fans and families will look forward to the return of the city's team with victory.

And for individuals, every player will try their best to give the fans, their families, and themselves on Christmas Day, which is the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, and the meaning of the Christmas war is extraordinary.

For Jiang Haoran, there is more meaning, that is, the agreement with the RM members, to fight Team Rocket? Lawson's appearance of this kid driving a sports car to humiliate Crystal Xue Xuan is still vivid, and on the 25th, it was the moment to fight back, I wonder if he still remembers the smell of rotten burgers in the locker room?

Jiang Haoran still remembers Liu Zaishi and others' expectant eyes on him, although I don't know if Liu Zaishi and others will forget what Jiang Haoran said at the time, "See you on the court" and pay attention to this Christmas war, but Jiang Haoran will definitely not be false!

Glory, just these two words, let all the Spurs actively start preparing for the game, and beat the Houston Rockets who killed the Spurs three times last season in the best condition!
