I am so Accurate

Chapter 94 The Strongest Defender of the Class of 2000

"I don't practice much, but I think it's necessary."

Sun Hao told the truth.

He also used the step back in Europe, but he had to spend a lot of time practicing ultra-long three-pointers, and he didn't have much time to practice this.

"I can teach you some details, but whether you can practice it depends on yourself."

Harris said with a smile.

After listening, Sun Hao looked at Harris with gratitude.

At this time, Harris had nothing to do with the Chinese men's basketball team, but he was able to guide him in these shooting details.

You have to know that the summer league hasn't played a game yet, who knows if he will play or sit on the bench for a season.

So it's really rare.

Harris did what he said, and the other players left after training, and he stayed alone to give Sun Hao a small talk.

Of course, what Harris taught was not the double retreat that would follow the rules of Harden in the future, but the standard retreat.

But even with a step back, there are many details that can be delved into.

Like dribbling.

It seems that it has nothing to do with the step back, but it is a very important detail.

Because the retreat step has an action of withdrawing to collect the ball, if the ball is in front of the body at that moment, it is easy to be intercepted.

So if you want to step back, it is best to bring a crotch when dribbling, which can effectively avoid being intercepted.

Another example is footsteps.

When stepping back, the foot of the step and the hand of the dribble are preferably opposite, so as to fully open the distance from the defender.

"The retreat step is the same as the dribble, and both the left and right sides need to be mastered together, so when you usually train, you have to practice and master both the left and right foot retreat."

Some of what Harris said involved basketball technical details, which Sun Hao didn't know.

This is also the experience that Harris has summed up after so many years of coaching.

Especially since Harris spent a long part of his coaching career as an assistant, he will pay more attention to these technical details.

These have benefited Sun Hao a lot.

He looked at Harris still gratefully.

After all, he was just an NCAA assistant in his previous life.

Don't think this position is too awesome, the head coach of ncaa is the biggest, with power and authority.

A teaching assistant is just a little better than doing odd jobs.

It is completely two concepts from the teaching assistant of the nba.

Otherwise, Sun Hao wouldn't just know some training methods, be there every day as the head coach of YY, and even after time travel, his basketball IQ would only be 51.

At this time, he suddenly thought of the caddy function in the system.

If Harris can be there, it will definitely help him a lot.

However, according to the system requirements, he must first establish a sufficient friendship with Harris.

Harris has had zero contact with him before, and it is not a sudden thing to do this.

However, because the relationship between the two is a coach and a player, the one who can quickly increase their favorability is naturally an outstanding performance on the court.

The summer league is already very important to a rookie like Sun Hao, and with this layer of relationship, he has even more reason to play well.

After two days of practice, Harris took the Mavericks to the Long Beach Coliseum, where they will start their summer league opener.

Their opponent is the Chicago Bulls.

Like the Mavericks, the Bulls are rebuilding, and there are frequent trades in this year's draft.

In addition to Sun Hao's deal, they also exchanged the seventh overall pick for center Chris Mihm in exchange for the Cavaliers' eighth overall pick Jamal Crawford.

This transaction looks strange, but it is not uncommon in the NBA.

Pick the players you want first, then get some small bargains out of your hands.

For Krauss, this is all routine.

The quality of the rookies in 2000 was mediocre, but if you want to judge the strongest guard, it must be Crawford.

If Reed hadn't been injured, the spot would have been his.

Crawford has gorgeous ball-handling skills and outstanding scoring explosiveness. He is the only player in NBA history who has won the Sixth Man of the Season three times.

Moreover, his career spanned 19 years, averaging 20+ per game during his peak period, and he was durable and able to play.

Of course that's a matter of the future, and Crawford's current expectations are greater than the future...

Imagine how difficult it is to get the eighth pick in a draft full of insiders, and you will know how outstanding he is in this draft.

And he is also a combo guard like Sun Hao, and he is likely to face Sun Hao in the game.

Sun Hao met his boss-level opponent from the very beginning.

And the strength of this Bulls team is ridiculously strong in the summer league.

Except for Crawford, the inside line of this team can be called luxurious.

The inside big man obtained when trading Sun Hao, the 12th pick Etan Thomas, is just like his name, with a muscular body, he is a meat tank.

And their No. 4 pick "Tattoo Master" Marcus Fizer.

Fizer is very famous in the NCAA. Not only was he selected to the All-American First Team, he also led the team to the NCAA quarter-finals as the core.

He will often be labeled as a parallel importer in the NBA because of his personality and injuries in the future, so that in the future, experts will focus more on his more than 30 tattoos on his body.

However, Fizer, who has not yet started his NBA journey, is given high hopes by the management, and his strength is also in the first tier in the summer league.

In addition to these three lottery picks, this Bulls team also has a future big name.

Ron I'm still a rookie Artest.

There is also a little story about Artest's participation in this summer league.

As the No. 16 pick last year, Artest averaged 12 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his rookie season.

Originally, such a player does not need to come to the summer league again.

Artest himself had no idea of ​​coming.

But maybe because the team lost too much last season and it was unfair, the team management still let him come.

The purpose is self-evident, the rebuilding team hopes to use the summer league championship to comfort the hearts of fans.

The Lakers in history have done that after Kobe retired, more than once.

The Bulls can be regarded as the originator of this aspect.

In addition to these four, sophomore Mike Ruffin, this year's No. 32 pick A.J. Guyton, and No. 34 pick Khalid al-Amin.

Talent and immediate combat power are all full, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this Bulls team is the strongest team in the summer league.

Not only is the opposing player a boss, but the opponent is also a boss. The beginning of Sun Hao's NBA career is very difficult.

Harris seems to know this too, and on the way to the arena, he emphasized the mentality of the game with the players.

Winning or losing the summer league is not that important. Showing your training results and personal abilities is what the coaching staff wants to see.

Sun Haoquan should listen, it is true to say so, but for him, as long as he plays, he is rushing to win.

If not for winning, what else is there to play?

Long Beach is the largest satellite city of Los Angeles. It is a typical port city and its throughput ranks tenth in the world.

It is said to be a satellite city, but it is actually not small at all. It is the seventh largest city in California, ranking first in terms of economy and city size.

The Long Beach Stadium can accommodate 6,000 people to watch the game live, and the scale is not small.

The Mavericks came early, the Bulls hadn't come yet, and the audience was still scattered.

After arriving, Harris quickly signaled the team to warm up in advance.

Sun Hao also began to find touch on the outside.

The three-point line in Europe still uses FIBA's 6.25 meters, but the distance in the NBA is 6.7 to 7.25 meters (the NBA's three-point line is not a regular semicircle).

In other words, there will be a gap of up to 1 meter, which is why many overseas players will not adapt to the three-point line at the beginning of the NBA.

However, because Sun Hao often shoots long-range or even ultra-long three-pointers in Europe, he will adapt much faster than others.

Of course, there is a process, and thanks to the system upgrade, he has more time to adapt to this.

While practicing, Raja Bell suddenly walked towards Sun Hao.

Sun Hao cast a puzzled look at him. Judging from his previous interactions, his roommate seemed to have a relatively withdrawn personality.

"Give it to me, Jamal."

Bell didn't say much, but got to the point.

Sun Hao nodded and agreed.

Crawford is 1.96 meters tall, the height of a typical swingman.

But he is playing a combo guard, and he flies off with a dribble show.

After Sun Hao played against Kobe before, he knew that it was difficult for him to guard against this kind of player.

Bell offered to volunteer, and he was happy to accept.

Of course, there will be no pies in the sky. The reason why Bell did this is obviously not to treat him as a buddy.

You must know that the two roommates have only spoken a few words since they met.

One sentence when we met, one sentence just now.

The flamboyant Crawford will be the focus of this game, just as he did in the NCAA.

There is nothing more existential than playing against this kind of player.

Of course, the premise is that Bell has enough confidence in his defense.

The start of the game is getting closer and closer, and the number of fans in the arena is gradually increasing.

The intensity of the summer league is far less than the NBA regular season or even the preseason, but because of this, its ticket prices are very cheap.

This is actually a way of official NBA promotion.

The warm-up was about the same. Sun Hao took a rest on the sidelines earlier, just like he did in Europe.

"Why haven't the Bulls come yet?"

Behind him, there are fans chatting.

"I don't know, I'm waiting to see Jamal's performance."

"Jamal is so cool, I saw him perform at Rock Park, it was really cool."

"You came to see Jamal too?"

"Yeah, I didn't plan to come to this game, but I came as soon as I heard Jamal."

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the player tunnel on the other side.

Crawford came, and many fans shouted at him.

Sun Hao also turned his head to look.

In addition to the fans, he also saw the Bulls' head coach Floyd and general manager Klaus, who went down to the venue to chat with Crawford.

In the previous draft, I heard Barkley and the others say that Crawford and "Streetball King" Alston were evenly matched in the one-on-one match at Rock Park.

Now to hear and see the reactions of the fans and the Bulls front office.

Before Crawford entered the league, his popularity had exploded.

Or to put it another way, Crawford will be the star of the night.

The audience in the arena continued to increase, and the Bulls also began to warm up.

Sun Hao naturally paid attention to Crawford.

He had seen it before at the draft, but Crawford was wearing a suit.

When Crawford took off his training clothes, he only wore his jersey.

so skinny.

This was Sun Hao's first feeling.

But once Crawford started warming up, that feeling was replaced by elegance.

His combination of dribbling and man-ball is more visually impactful than it looks on the game broadcast.

Take the simplest crossover as an example, the feeling of the unity of human and ball is really not only training, but also an innate talent.

It's not unreasonable for him to gain so much popularity before entering the league.

After the warm-up was over, the match between the two sides started soon.

Starters on both sides.

Mavericks: Sun Hao, Bell, Alexander, Harvey, Sanders.

Bulls: Guyton, Crawford, Artest, Fizer, Thomas.

Thomas turned the ball back to the Bulls half, officially kicking off summer league.
