I am so Accurate

Chapter 93 This Reminds Me of a Certain James

Benita did not go to Los Angeles with Sun Hao in the end.

According to Russo, Benita doesn't like the climate there very much.

After staying in New York for two days, Sun Hao sent his parents on the plane back to China.

Yi Jianlian went to Spain with Lasso.

"You'll love it there."

Before parting, Sun Hao jumped up and patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder.

He really hopes that Yi Jianlian can play in Europe as soon as possible.

After seeing everyone off, Sun Hao got on the plane to Los Angeles.

Although he has not reported to the Mavericks, he is already going to play as a Mavericks player.

Summer league.

Unconsciously, Sun Hao's mind resurfaced the scene of watching the summer league in Las Vegas in his previous life.

It was 2009, and a "kid who looked only 12 years old" (commented by the US "Sporting News") was born.

Stephen Babyface Curry.

He still remembers that game. Curry scored 6 three-pointers in one game, and he was proficient in chasing, catching, and pulling.

I don't know how I will perform in the summer league.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Sun Hao transferred another car to Long Beach, and then went to the hotel first.

Unlike the place where he spent his own money to live before, the team stayed in a hotel where two people shared a room, and the environment was terrible.

Most of the summer league players are rookies and fringe players, and many of them will not be able to play in the NBA. Such conditions are also reasonable.

Harvey and Alexander shared a room, and when Sun Hao arrived, his roommate hadn't come yet.

There is not even a TV in the room, so bored, he took out his mobile phone and played Snake.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a slender, green face appeared at the door.

Sun Hao froze for a moment when he saw him.

Because of this person, he actually knew him!

In the NBA, there have been many Kobe finishers, but Battier, who is often able to stop Kobe, is rarely able to defend against Kobe. Tony Allen, who is called the strongest defender by Kobe...

There is another one, that is, Raja Bell who "became famous in a lock" in front of him.

Sun Hao didn't expect that Bell was also a member of the Mavericks summer league!

But Bell at this time is not the Bell who was selected for the defensive first team in the future, he is just a simple undrafted pick.

In 1999, Bell participated in the draft and no one cared about him, and he has been playing in the Development League since then.

Then, like most undrafted picks, he played summer league year after year, looking for a chance at a non-guaranteed contract.

Bell was also taken aback when he came in, and after saying sorry, he backed out.

But after he confirmed the room number, he walked in again.

"Are you from the Mavericks?"

Obviously, he didn't expect the Mavericks to have yellow players.

This is his second year playing in Summer League, but it's his first encounter.

Sun Hao nodded.

After confirming that he had gone the right way, Bell didn't say anything, and started to put his things away.

After the release, he went out directly wearing his jersey.

Sun Hao put down his phone, Bell looked a little withdrawn.

But he didn't think too much, and then entered the system to start training.

Before the training started, he took another look at the location of the system store.

Whether it is the beverage area or the equipment area, you need something called honor points when purchasing.

This honor point is similar to the currency in the system, there is only one way to get it, competition.

As for how much to get, the system has a set of very rigorous mathematical formulas. After Sun Hao read it, he felt that the mathematical level taught by numerology could not be understood.

However, the general conclusion that can be drawn is that the higher the level of competition, the better the performance, and the more honor points you will get.

The level of competition in the summer league is not high, so in order to get honor points, he has to play a strong enough performance in the summer league.

He did have that chance, too.

The summer league teams are generally divided into second-year players, rookies, undrafted players or free agents.

Among them, second-year players and players with guaranteed contracts will be the focus of the coaching staff's inspection.

After all, these players and teams are under contract, and their performance is what the home team is most concerned about.

This opportunity for Sun Hao is a second-year player.

Most second-year players, after playing in the NBA for a year, are much better than rookies in terms of physical confrontation, technical tactics, and even psychological quality.

So what often happens in the summer league is that the second-year players are the thighs and score crazy points.

And yet the Mavericks ... don't have a second-year player.

Last year the team selected two rookies, one was Wang Zhizhi and the other was Gordon Girisek.

Both are overseas players, Wang Zhizhi can't come out in China, and Girisek has been staying in Europe.

So this Mavericks team is their rookie Big Three, plus some free agents and undrafted teams.

This is the best opportunity.

Sun Hao has been training in the system for a long time.

The increased time ratio has really greatly improved his training time.

I practiced in the system for more than two hours, and only about forty minutes had passed when I came out.

The team arranged for the first joint practice in the afternoon. He went out to eat something, rested for a while, and then went to the training hall.

The head coach of the Mavericks this summer league is Delmar Harris, also known as the "Silver Fox" Harris well-known by fans.

Harris is over sixty years old, sixty-three.

Although he is now an assistant coach of the Mavericks, his coaching career is also full of legends.

He coached the Houston team as soon as he debuted, and in 1981, in the third year of coaching, he led the team to the finals.

After that, he followed the old Nelson to the Bucks and became the head coach of the team after the old Nelson left.

After that, he moved to Los Angeles and was elected NBA Coach of the Year in 1995, helping the Lakers build the foundation of the OK dynasty.

In the end, he returned to the old Nelson's coaching staff and became the team's chief assistant.

Sun Hao doesn't know all of these resumes, but his impression of Harris is more about the national team.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Harris became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.

He led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat Serbia and Montenegro, the world's number one team at the time, and reached the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games.

With this period of history alone, he is enough to be remembered by the people of the country.

Of course, his relationship with the Chinese men's basketball team goes far beyond that.

Because the relationship with Wang Zhizhi and the Basketball Association is good, when the "Wang Zhizhi did not return" incident occurred, it was he who came forward to mediate and was able to mediate the conflict between the two parties.

Even, the Bucks will choose Yi Jianlian in the future, and Harris has made a lot of efforts in it.

When you slowly get to know the draft of this era, you will find that it is full of stories.

Harris is also the first head coach to question the selection system of the men's basketball team.

"The Chinese sports department has always paid attention to the cultivation of tall players, so there are many good players between 2.10 meters and 2.25 meters, but we are very short of defenders between 1.83 and 1.90 meters. Even now The defenders of the national team also need to improve their skills."

This is what Harris told the media at the time.

"The strengths of the Chinese team's defenders are shooting and passing, but they have no professional training in breakthrough skills. How to find a gap during the dribble and complete a mid-range jumper is what they need to learn. Jonas's first experience in China The task is to improve their individual abilities in the middle distance."

Even before leaving office, he gave Jonas advice.

Looking back, these suggestions can be said to be quite professional and hit the nail on the head.

But until Sun Hao's era, this problem was not taken seriously, nor was it resolved.

"I won't ask you to run any complicated tactics. I just need you to do two points in the next week's game, do a good job in every defense, and seize every opportunity."

Harris' voice pulled Sun Hao back from his thoughts.

Harris doesn't say much about tactics, what he teaches and requires is the most detailed thing in the game.

For example, defensive footwork, such as shooting hand shape, such as the focus of the pick and roll is to remove rather than block.

The silver-haired old man taught me earnestly.

This was Sun Hao's first feeling.

If the old Nelson is described as a fiery coach, then Harris is a kind elder.

One is like fire and the other is like water.

It's no wonder that the two were able to partner again in the Mavericks after they worked together in the Bucks.

After the first day of practice, Harris named the starting lineup for the summer league.

Sun Hao, Raja Bell, Courtney Alexander, Donnell Harvey and big center Saunders.

Three rookies, one undrafted pick and one free agent.

It can be seen that Harris is more concerned about the people the team wants to inspect than the outcome of the game.

After announcing the starting lineup, Harris suddenly called Sun Hao to his side.

"Have you ever thought about how to give yourself more shot space?"

Harris asked Sun Hao a slightly strange question.

Sun Hao didn't quite understand.

"Have you ever thought about practicing the step-back three?"

Seeing Sun Hao's reaction, Harris spoke more bluntly.

"A three-point step back?"

Hearing what Harris said, Sun Hao's first reaction was a certain James.

"Yes, I have seen the video of your game in Europe. With the same style of play, you may encounter a problem in the NBA. There is not enough room for shots."

Sun Hao understood what Harris said next.

The level of basketball in the NBA is definitely higher than in Europe.

But compared to skills and tactics, the more obvious gap is physical fitness.

It is not an exaggeration for the NBA to say that it is a group of birds and beasts.

Recall the scene where Nate Robinson covers Yao Ming, although Yao Ming didn't jump that ball, but Robinson is so tall.

Even Paul, who you thought was a floor player, was a master of all kinds of dunks flying into the sky and escaping from the ground before he was injured.

This is true for the defenders, let alone the strikers who help defend.

A pick-and-roll for Sun Hao in the summer league is an opportunity, but in the NBA, he may be blocked before he makes a shot.

Even if it is not covered, it will be disturbed.

There are only two ways to solve this problem.

Improve the speed of the shot, or get more space for the shot.

The step-back falls into the latter category.
