Dayao was looking at his right hand in a daze at this time. He seemed to be a little unconvinced that his performance just now was so good.

Kevin Cato used to be the main center of the Rockets. Although his ability is not very strong, he can be regarded as passing in the NBA.

In previous training matches within the team, Dayao was often bullied by Kevin Cato.

But during the attack and defense just now, there was always a voice in his heart telling him what to do.

Dayao looked up at Han Ning and thought of what Han Ning had said to him before.

It seems that he brought about such a change after he decided to listen to Han Ning's way of playing basketball!

He is really capable! It's just that the way he played before was not suitable for the NBA.

And Han Ning brought him to the right path!

Dayao's eyes were full of gratitude.

Han Ning watched everyone turn their attention to him, smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is watching what I do, keep training!"

The training match continues.

Dayao, who has regained his self-confidence, is killing everyone in training matches!

Shanghai dance moves, dunks, mid-range shots, hooks, and various offensive methods were performed one after another, and at the same time, they defended Kevin Cato and only scored two points and one rebound!

It can almost be said to be a violent meal!

Francis was also very excited after seeing Dayao's changes. As soon as the training match ended, he jumped directly on Dayao's back and shouted excitedly: "I knew you could do it! This is what I want! Damn it."

, Yao! You already know how to play in the NBA! In the next game, let those who look down on you take a good look at your strength!"

Dayao's face was full of smiles, but he still said a little embarrassed: "It's all thanks to the coach, he helped me, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to figure it out."

When Francis heard this, he looked at Han Ning thoughtfully.

It seems...this young Chinese coach has something!

"November 16, 2002, viewers, welcome to the Turner Television Network. Today's game is the Houston Rockets vs. the Phoenix Suns at home." Kenyon Smith said with a smile.

"Smith, have you heard that the head coach of the Rockets, Rudy, resigned, and he was replaced by a Chinese man who is only in his twenties. This season, the Rockets may be in trouble. Maybe next year we can

I see the Rockets competing for the No. 1 pick." Barkley said with gloating, flashing his big white teeth.

"Hey, Barkley, are you so down on the Rockets?! I think in today's game, maybe the Rockets can beat the Suns at home." Kenyon Smith retorted with a smile.

The two are fixed commentary partners on the Turner TV network. They have always been accustomed to one singing the popular role and the other the negative role. Their opinions are always inconsistent. This way they can attract the attention of the audience more.

So when Barkley looks down on the Rockets, Kenyon Smith usually sides with the Rockets.

"Don't be ridiculous Smith, the Suns have two star players in Stephon Marbury and Shawn Marion, and what do the Rockets have?! Da Yao who only scored 20 points in six games?!"

Buckley said with a chuckle.

The two had another quarrel, which made the audience in front of the TV full of curiosity about the Rockets' new head coach Han Ning.

On the playing field, players from both sides were doing their final warm-ups.

On the Suns' side, Marbury shot with a smile on his face and a very relaxed expression, and Shawn Marion even gave Stoudemire the ball and completed several alley-oop dunks. Obviously the Suns'

The players were very relaxed and thought they would win this game.

On the Rockets side, every player has a trace of seriousness on their face.

Because from the moment they entered the court, the Rockets fans did not cheer for them. Instead, they madly cursed Rockets owner Alexander and general manager Dawson.

They believe that Rudy's resignation is directly related to these two people. The most important thing is that they have found another young Chinese man in his twenties to be the head coach of the Rockets, which is the most unacceptable to them.

Han Ning clapped and motioned for the players to gather together.

"Today, we will fight according to the triangle tactics we practiced before."

"Francis, Mobley, Dayao, the three of you have to take on the offensive task. Dayao, you just play the way you did in the training games these days and beat Stoudemire hard!"

Tell him why you were the No. 1 pick and he was only the No. 9 pick!"

Dayao nodded heavily. He understood that today's game was not only to clear his name, but also to make Han Ning's debut.

Only if he beats the Suns by more than 20 points today can he continue to coach the Rockets.

"Beep!"

The game is about to begin, and the starting players from both sides are taking to the court one after another.

The Rockets' starters are Francis, Mobley, James Posey, Kenny Thomas and Dayao.

The Rockets' original starting power forward Eddie Griffin was placed on the bench by Han Ning, moving Kenny Thomas from the center position to the starting power forward position.

For the Phoenix Suns, the starting lineup is Steve Marbury, Shawn Marion, Stoudemire, Joe Johnson and Jake Tsakalidis.

Just looking at the strength on paper, the Rockets are inferior to the Suns.

But this comparison of paper strength depends on Dayao's performance being the same as in the previous games. What's more, Han Ning also has a mid-range shooting bonus card for the team!

Add these two factors, and the balance of victory and defeat in the game will change.

"Beep!"

The referee throws the basketball high and the game officially begins!

Dayao faced Stoudemire, his legs were slightly bent, he took off at the most appropriate time, and passed the basketball to Francis, winning the ball for the Rockets.

Stoudemire was a little slow and lost the ball.

Francis advanced with the ball, reached the top of the arc and suddenly put his hands together with the ball, and directly lobbed the basketball to Yao.

Dayao faced Stoudemire, dribbled the ball with his right hand and started to hit the back towards the basket.

One step, two steps, three steps, Dayao pushed the ball into the basket steadily, and then suddenly put his hands on the ball, shaking his shoulders from side to side, shaking Stoudemire, suddenly turned around, and raised the basketball high with his right hand.

He took off, held up Stoudemire, jumped hard and pushed the basketball into the basket.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The rim made a loud sound due to this dunk.

Dayao, who scored the first goal, banged his chest hard and roared with relief, looking extremely tough.

The Rockets fans who were a little quiet at the scene immediately became excited when they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but jump up and cheer.

In the broadcast room, Barkley's eyelids jumped when he saw Dayao's sudden tough play.
Chapter completed!
