Chapter 41 Sign two people, the game against the Wizards is coming!
At the end of the match, the substitute lineup still lost.
Although Da Zhi scored three consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, it was very amazing.
But in the final analysis, strength is not enough.
Part of the reason why we were able to score three three-pointers in the opening game was that the starting lineup underestimated the opponent.
Another part of the reason is to let Battier defend Da Zhi.
Although Battier has strong defensive ability, he is 11 centimeters shorter than Da Zhi.
Coupled with his wingspan, it is very difficult to block Da Zhi.
When the starting lineup discovered these two problems, Da Zhi's three-point shooting percentage dropped a lot.
Although there is still a certain stability, it is not as amazing as when it first started.
After increasing his defense against Dazhi, Ginobili turned his head and began to cooperate with Devin Brown.
Unexpectedly, Devin Brown's three-pointer is also very good.
In just 20 minutes of intra-team training, the final score reached 56 to 49.
The substitute lineup only lost by 7 points!
You must know that the Rockets' current starting lineup is considered very strong in the entire league.
Being able to achieve this result is enough to show that it is feasible for Han Ning to let the substitute lineup play an offensive system based on three-pointers.
The Rockets don't have the Big Three on their bench, only Ginobili!
Dazhi and Devin Brown were players who were kicked out of the league before!
Now we just need to allow the two of them to have enough shooting opportunities, and shoot as many three-pointers as possible, so as to fully utilize their advantages, and then they can achieve such results.
Isn’t this enough to explain something?!
Is it possible that the bench lineups of other teams in the league can match the strength of the Rockets' starting lineup?!
Wait until Steve Kerr has studied the tactical system of the new bench lineup and then train it.
By that time, the Rockets' bench lineup will definitely be able to kill everyone!
Thinking of this, Steve Kerr admired Han Ning even more.
Dawson was already dumbfounded.
He couldn't figure out why two players with such good three-pointers had no place in the league.
Is it possible that all head coaches and general managers in the league are idiots?!
However, what Dawson doesn't know is that although Da Zhi and Devin Brown's three-pointers are good, they still need a top player to contain them.
Only with a player like Ginobili who can shoot well in the Rockets' bench can they attract enough defense to gain space for their teammates to shoot three-pointers.
And the disadvantages of focusing on three-pointers are also obvious.
Once the players on the field feel bad, there is almost no possibility of winning.
Dawson only saw that Da Zhi and Devin Brown had good hands, and that their teammates were willing to give them enough shot rights and were not afraid of them missing shots.
In other teams, when a role player misses two three-pointers in a row, the head coach is likely to take him off the field directly and not give him another chance.
That is to say, in the Rockets, Da Zhi and Devin Brown have the opportunity to show themselves.
"Mr. Dawson, I think it's time for you to prepare the contract." Han Ning smiled slightly, looking at the expression on Dawson's face, and said with great pride.
Dawson turned his head and looked at Han Ning. He didn't say anything more, but with a touch of excitement in his eyes, he turned around and returned to his office to prepare the contract.
"Bah bang bang!!!"
Han Ning walked into the training ground while applauding and shouted in a deep voice: "Dazhi, Brown, you two come here."
After the match just now, Dazhi and Devin Brown have been recognized by all the Rockets players, so after the match, the two were chatting with the Rockets players.
And the two of them were very excited at this time.
The two just scored a total of 7 three-point goals! A total of 21 points!
Three-pointers alone accounted for nearly half of the bench's scoring.
This performance is almost their best performance among all teams in the league during trials.
After hearing Han Ning call the two of them over, Francis said with a smile: "Go quickly, don't keep the boss waiting."
Dazhi and Devon Brown came to Han Ning with anxiety.
Han Ning deliberately looked at the two of them with a serious expression, and his silence made the two of them feel a little scared.
"Coach...did we not play well just now?!" Dazhi couldn't help but ask.
However, Han Ning still didn't answer, and still looked at the two of them quietly.
After a while, Han Ning suddenly smiled and said: "Man, you two should think about what number you will wear in the future."
Upon hearing this, the two of them could not react for a moment.
It was the other Rockets players who reacted first.
Dayao hurriedly ran to Da Zhi, put his arm around his shoulders and shouted loudly: "Brother Da Zhi! We will play on the same team in the future!"
Battier also came to Dazhi's side, gently hammered his shoulder with his hand and said: "Man, you are really good at shooting three-pointers!"
Ginobili came to Devin Brown and said with a smile: "Brother, we will be partners in the future. When the time comes, all the balls I pass to you will be turned into assists for me!"
Only then did the two of them realize that they were really staying!
An undrafted player in the draft, plus a player who is about to be kicked out of the league.
The two of them can finally stay in this alliance!
For a moment, both of them felt very emotional, and the corners of their eyes shone slightly.
Only after experiencing failure can you know that opportunities are hard-won!
Early the next morning, the news that the Rockets signed two players was made public.
In an instant, the entire alliance was in a state of excitement.
Logically speaking, signing two players is not something worthy of attention.
They are just two players with a one-year minimum salary, and no one will take the initiative to pay attention to them.
But this time it's different.
For a player who is about to be kicked out of the league and an undrafted player in the draft, a rookie and second-year player on the team is waived.
It's like losing watermelon for sesame seeds.
Because of this incident, Dawson once again became the target of ridicule across the league.
............
Time passed day by day, and the Rockets ushered in their next opponent, the Wizards with basketball god Michael Jordan!
Arriving at the home court of the Wizards, this time the Rockets brought a rare mascot.
Rather than bringing a mascot, it would be better to say that Barkley came to honor the bet.
In the last game, he lost the bet he made with Smith, and he will serve as the Rockets' mascot in the Rockets' next game.
At the same time, in order to take care of the commentary work, Barkley simply put on the clothes of the Rockets mascot Key Bear and sat in the commentator's seat.
Smith looked at Barkley's outfit and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Barkley, this suit suits you so well! Otherwise, you should resign and go directly to the Rockets as the mascot!"
Chapter completed!
