Chapter 424: Little Thomas is Floating? Let him start in place of Curry!
Of course, he knew that Thomas Jr. was talking about his family, because all the moments of his career in later life were for his family and various distant relatives, which was a bit of a lesson from Iverson.
If he plays well, he will naturally have more money in the next contract, which is such a simple meaning.
But the expansion is also really ambitious, he can stand here and lead the rookie base salary has exceeded 99% of the world's basketball players, even if it is a rookie contract, the salary is already higher than the starters of other major leagues, okay.
And if you play well in a regular season, you want to make a lot of money?
Jiang Chao can only say that you are a little guy, and persuade you to rat tail juice~~ Don't be too proud.
Still.
It's embarrassing to think about it, I really have a relationship with these little men on the NBA court, he has been in contact with small players since he crossed in 2009, from Iverson to the big potato......
Then he chose Thomas Jr. in the second round, as if he was destined for a short guard.
But it's all short-lived.
I don't know if this little Thomas will be as arrogant as he was in the Celtics in this life, anyway, looking at the performance on the court today, it seems that he should practice well and be familiar with tactics, otherwise as the core of holding the ball, it is impossible to play 11 minutes without 1 mistake, which is too unscientific for a second-round pick.
Jiang Chao doesn't know if his personality will change later, anyway, he is now his player, and he must mention him to the top 4 levels of combat effectiveness in the MVP competition in the future!
Therefore, after the game, he also went directly to the locker room to prepare for personal guidance.
The first thing to greet after entering the locker room was Stephenson, who awkwardly said "good boss" in Chinese, and the junior brother was envious today, and Thomas Jr. was rotated to play Kaizi today, gaining the double trust of the coaching staff and fans.
And he has had such opportunities in the previous games...... But because he dragged tactics and played sassy work, the young marshal was pressed on the bench all the time.
Jiang Chao knows his words, compared to Thomas Jr.'s "alone", Stephenson is the kind of loneliness that makes people look alone, because even if he dribbles over half the court, he has to show off a few dribbles jumping under his crotch...... It's reminiscent of a streetball party that can't stop but can't beat the opponent.
However, he also understood that the Knicks coaching staff mainly felt that he wanted to show himself too much on the court, it was a performance with quotation marks, and he felt that he was acting like he was jogging and hee-hee-ha, and he might suddenly be angry or something, so he felt that he couldn't control it for a while, and it might not be as good as Hu Weidong, the head coach of the Sujiang team, to train him.
Jiang Chao also greeted him in Chinese: "Hello, Fensen." ”
Anyway, rotation is a matter for the coaching staff, and it has nothing to do with him.
Then Da Baibian also came over to say hello Chinese, compared to Finsen, he is the most non-existent, the competition for the center is more intense, and he could still play in garbage time at the beginning of the season, but now the garbage time is sometimes given to Brother Li...... He was bitter in his heart.
David Li was blowing his hair and smiling kindly at Jiang Chao, after that office exchange, everyone could be said to have a trace of invisible estrangement, which was also a helpless thing.
However, Jiang Chao's focus is on finding little Thomas with a big shirt and big lips chewing gum, little Thomas's short figure is really difficult to notice in the locker room, Jiang Chao still found him through the orange headband on his head.
"The owner is so !!"
Seeing Jiang Chao coming, little Thomas naturally stepped forward to invite credit.
Although he has a very flamboyant personality on the court or in private, he will always be a "younger brother" in front of Jiang Chao, everyone knows that Thomas Jr. is the person chosen by Jiang Chao, even if he does not sit down, but Jiang Chao personally handled the draft in the first two years, and he can know that the Knicks in the draft meeting are definitely the people Jiang Chao wants to choose.
So Thomas Jr. can work in the NBA, Jiang Chao is his biggest benefactor, and today he played a performance, so he naturally has to show off in front of his benefactor.
"Boss, how am I today?"
"Okay, how am I? Came to see you play, so you broke out......"
"Uh...... Yes, awesome!! "Thomas Jr. thought to himself, I didn't know you were going to come to see the game before the game, but the workplace is to say it in the direction that the boss likes.
But Jiang Chao has long been a mille-feuille, do you invite credit? I'm also asking for credit!
So then he didn't shudder, and got straight to the point:
"I'm here to talk about your shortcomings, can't you not defend it?"
"Hungry ......"
Thomas Jr.'s smug mood was poured cold water in an instant, why don't you open a pot, his defensive efficiency value is the lowest on the team from the season to now, and it is also the bottom 5 in the league, but the sixth place in front of him is a star, that is, the champion Irving.
If Irving's defense is limited by his height, then Thomas's defense is largely based on personal feelings.
Because on the field, he can only top the opponent, as long as the opponent lifts the ball up or hits it with his back, then he is completely just watching, and relying on strength not to let the opponent in is already the best result.
"Even though you have defensive giants like Danny, Beverley, and Hayward Butler around you, you have to improve your own defensive ability, don't you? You can't keep your teammates wiping your butts. ”
Hayward and Butler, who were indirectly praised, raised their heads when they changed their clothes inside, and they were praised by the boss for being comfortable, but in the end, wiping their butts sounded a little painful, and it was the youngest little Thomas who wanted to wipe them.
In the NBA, a basketball league with overflowing talent, physical condition is the greatest talent, as the saying goes, "Skill can be taught by coaches, but height cannot".
Players with height deficiencies may be able to find a way on the offensive end with speed and technique, but on the defensive end, it is easy for opponents to use their height and weight to eat them.
In his previous life with the Celtics, although Isaiah Thomas had good offensive ability, averaging almost 30 points per game, the Green Shirts had to match him with Bradley and Crowder, two wing defense experts, to "wipe his ass" on the defensive end.
"Don't talk boss, I'm going to watch Paul's video!!"
Little Thomas directly raised his hands and surrendered, okay! Why don't I just go and strengthen the defense?
The sound of the old birds snickering made him feel faceless, what the hell is this, today he is 20+ in the NBA for the first time, is the boss here to dismantle the stage...... Which pot is not opened......
And he also expected that Jiang Chao was going to let him watch Paul's video next, so he directly raised his hands and hurriedly ran to wash.
But the back was happily blocked by Howard: "What, isn't the boss good for you." ”
Paul?
Jiang Chao was stunned, he didn't say anything about Paul.
But just look at the expressions of the other players, and I guess Paul has been compared.
Among the small players, Paul's defense has indeed not had many fans black.
Most of the opponent players scolded him for making small moves.
Chris Paul of the Hornets is only 180 cm tall, Thomas Jr. is only 175 cm tall, and the difference between the two is 5 cm.
But in fact, Jiang Chao thinks that the two can't be compared, you say that it's about the same as Iverson, and Paul's difference of 5 centimeters is actually quite a lot.
Looking at the numbers in the first single, the most intuitive impression is that in the face of a 190 cm defender, Paul is 10 cm shorter, and Thomas Jr. is 15 cm shorter.
If you convert it to someone like James or Kobe, for example, James is 203 cm, the standard small forward height, and then 5 cm or 8 cm taller, it is Duncan who is 211 cm tall.
Paul's 190-centimeter guard is equivalent to James carrying Duncan, and he can carry it a little, and Thomas Jr. is directly Kobe Bryant to carry Duncan, and he can't resist at all.
Secondly, although Paul is short, his defense does not rely on height and weight, but on court IQ.
Paul's on-court intelligence can be described as the top in the NBA, and he is quick to break the ball, accurate in prediction, and tough in attitude, with excellent static conditions, which is fundamentally different from Thomas Jr.
This also explains why Paul was the fourth pick in the first round, while Thomas Jr. was the rookie at the end of the second round.
In the end, behind Paul is a big center with excellent frame protection ability, and the Hornets have a bunch of masters to protect him, and Thomas Jr. is equipped with a lineup today without a big center, so this is why Thomas Jr. is very strong in offense today, but the defensive efficiency is very poor.
"This is related to Paul's small movements, I came this time, I am also here to teach you small movements, pay attention, it is small movements, not Paul's hidden dirty movements, don't learn those ones."
Jiang Chao smiled heartily, and directly asked little Thomas to return to him obediently.
Teach the moves!!
Yo!
Boss Teach!!
Locker room version!
Jiang Chao just made a start, and Curry, who had been listening with his head up, all gathered in the next second!
Coach Jiang's lectures are rare!
Especially George and Harden, who have been taught, are excited, it has been a long time since Boss Jiang taught in person.
Hurry up and move the small bench!
"Ahem, what are you doing with such great expectations, in fact, it's nothing, just two words: fake fall."
"Fake falls?" Howard felt like he hadn't heard the name in a long time.
"Well, don't use it, I'm just talking about little Thomas."
Everyone is looking forward to it, and the boss talks about small actions, which is rare.
Little Thomas listened even more with his ears pricked up.
"Aren't you small, others work hard, you just can't take advantage of the situation."
If you want to talk about the skills of fake falling, Jiang Chao completely told him about the later generation of Thomas Jr., who is also the Oscar winner in the NBA, Smart Smart is a clever brother.
If there is really any way, he is definitely not proficient, just a point, if Thomas Jr. really plays it himself, he doesn't mind inviting the fake wrestling king of Argentina out of the mountain to teach, Manuna is an authentic offense 4 people can't pull it, and the defense will fall down as soon as it touches.
After a brief speech, Harden jumped out and said to Thomas Jr.:
"I'm familiar with this, we'll practice in the training match tomorrow!"
"Good!"
After seeing that the rookies of the team's third team were so thriving, Jiang Chao naturally enjoyed a wave of D'Addario's classic cow-wrapped package that night for a long time, Ao Mei likes to drill into the poisonous dragon's place, and the two of them lay on the sofa with Jiang Chao for a while, until Jiang Chao was completely comfortable.
Following.
Jiang Chao took Liu Tianxian, Zheng Xiujing, Park Chulong, and Wendy, the four most fashionable Asian girls, to the Chaoshen Building for the final interior design arrangements.
It doesn't have to be luxurious or complicated, just comfortable.
Just like the feeling that the four of them gave Jiang Chao, comfortable and not pretentious, Liu Yifei is the biggest celebrity in Chaoshen Film and Television, and the coat she wears when it is cold is always the red down jacket. It's really not pretentious at all, it's just casual and natural.
Under their ideas, the Chaoshen Mansion will naturally give everyone an easy-going, simple and warm feeling.
The 1st and 1st basement floors and the 1-2nd floor of the food + canteen are handed over to Daddario, Elizabeth Olsen, Jun Arimura, Master Liu, Yui Aragaki and several other foodies, they are all thieves wearing construction site hats and work clothes, it is hard to imagine that these girls in the future are superstars who come to reach out for food and open their mouths.
That dinner Jiang Chao naturally will not live up to their seriousness.
Jiang Chao asked Liu Yan, who was bored in the one57 apartment, to rent a tourist attraction on this side of Brooklyn, and invited three Michelin chefs to cook a barbecue dinner on the top of the mountain, waiting for Jiang Chao and them to come to dinner.
Around evening, several luxury cars set off from the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain, saying that it was a winding mountain, and it was also circled, which is also a small mountain bag, but because there are all facilities on the mountain, and you can also overlook the Statue of Liberty, it has also become a scenic spot, but today it was chartered by Jiang Chao.
Because it was still early for dinner, Jiang Chao and Park Chulong, as well as the newcomer Li Xin and other girls, sat on the lawn on the top of the hill to chat and joke and watch the sunset.
One end of the sky was wrapped in orange-red light, like an orange ocean, a third of the sun had already set into the sky, and their hair was dyed a faint orange-red.
Liu Tianxian, who was sitting next to Jiang Chao, sat alone on the stone floor behind, Jiang Chao pulled her back, gently hugged the shoulders of the fairy sister, and felt the warmth of the sunset.
"You're unlike any boy I've ever met." Liu Yifei's eyes are big, and her voice is as gentle as in the TV series.
"Definitely, there is only one Jiang Chao, let's eat, come to me, just enjoy life."
A few people lit a bonfire, ate barbecue, blew the evening breeze, drank cocktails, and enjoyed a beautiful view.
Because they are all girls, everyone is also having a good time, and this is when Super God Music appears.
Gulinazha, Deng Ziqi, and Ouyang Nana picked up musical instruments and played light music such as "Welcome to New York" and "Once You", and dancers such as Song Qian, Lin Nalian, and Jin Xuexuan danced.
Jiang Chao held the wine glass in his hand, watched the white long legs in front of him sway, listened to the music that swayed upward, and toasted Liu Yifei, who couldn't do anything but acting.
Then he was shouted and sang the song "Dispel Sorrow" by Master Liu, who was also literary and artistic, which was also Jiang Chao's first demonstration of the Super God Girl Group.
"A cup of sunrise and a glass of moonlight
Awaken my yearning and soften the cold window
”
When Jiang Chao sings, he looks down from above, and the night view of New York City is unobstructed, the streets are lit with bright yellow street lamps, and the staggered streets seem to have turned into a huge bright yellow spider web.
It really feels good!
Therefore, he sang very tastefully, and the girls were all sitting and clapping to beat when they got to the B section.
Singing and dancing!!
The three chefs only thought of this word when they saw this scene, it was too shocking, is this the Chaoshen Group!
Cooking for these people is a little more interesting.
Night.
Liu Yifei's super chat circle of friends posted a beautiful photo with Jiang Chao on the top of the mountain, with the text:
"Without sleep, there are only more than 10,000 days in a person's life.
The difference between people is whether you really live for more than 10,000 days, or if you live just one day and repeat it more than 10,000 times.
And I just want to repeat this day 10,000 times. ”
A week later.
After being instructed by Jiang Chao, little Thomas really floated!
He made an average of 2 offensive fouls per game in the 3 games after Jiang Chao instructed him to fake falls, and because the young marshal gave him more time to practice, his plus/minus came to an average of +19 points per game, which is very acceptable data, which completely relied on Jiang Chao's point that day, so that he could open up directly.
And these three games are 18 points per game, and the team wins every game, this little thing really has something on the offensive end!! Unstoppable rhythm!!
So when Jiang Chao returned to the arena a week later to sign a few agreements, he was directly knocked on the door by Thomas Jr.
Jiang Chao thought it was Brother Li at first, but Thomas Jr. came over to offer credit and officially offered to let him try to rotate until the rookie wall came out.
I can't hide my ambition.
Jiang Chao said with a smile on the surface:
"Okay, then you can simply start in place of Curry."
