80. Always want to pick a thorn (seeking the moon)
“Is this the lottery team?”
Zhang Hao took a deep breath. How miserable is their team?
There is no serious center forward!
Look at PJ Brown, who is 211 cm tall and 105 kilograms tall and was forced to go to the center position to open business. The game was OK, but it was a waste of his outstanding assisting defense.
As a member of the team, he has not been traded yet, so he probably won't be traded for a while. Since that's the case, he will have to think about winning. But seeing this lineup, Zhang Hao really doesn't know what kind of magical move his head coach has to use to give them the strength to win.
Zhang Hao couldn't believe that the Nets didn't exchange Coleman for even a player of the main level!
In other words, their lineup was less than Coleman last season, and Kenny Anderson gained weight due to suspension.
"No wonder the coaching staff attaches great importance to me. They don't care about their record at all... or do they just want to play Bo Duncan or Iverson?"
Zhang Hao felt that he had guessed the coaching staff's plan, and it was not difficult to guess. Many weak teams would do this, training one or a bunch of young players while playing the top scorer.
What he didn't know was that Coleman had a certain transaction value, but because Butch Baird, the lottery master, ran to find the management and said confidently, "I found a talented striker."
Because he trusted Butch Baird's vision, Kenny Anderson and PJ Brown were discovered by Butch Baird. It was already the boss who was uncomfortable in Coleman's decision to trade Coleman.
The Nets boss is ambitious and will be decisive whenever he has the opportunity.
The goal is Kenny Anderson, the talented forward and Bo Duncan, and Coleman has not been very high in trading value. He decisively chose to give up to avoid Coleman going to do something again in the summer when it is about to stop.
Year after year, the boss couldn't stand it anymore when he saw Coleman's trouble in the summer.
Choosing Zhang Hao has become the driving force.
"But this is my chance..."
Zhang Hao escaped from the extremely frustrated lineup and decided to seize the opportunity now.
He is not the only one who wants to seize the opportunity. Everyone in the team can see that after they lose Coleman, the outside is still fine, but the inside is weak, and there is little hope of entering the playoffs.
A weak inside line means everyone has a chance, and the young and talented Zhang Hao may be the one with the greatest chance.
Competition is inevitable, and it is inevitable that Zhang Hao is afraid of being beaten by several inside teammates who have been beaten for several years.
The key is that they do not have a real boss who can suppress the scene, and naturally form small teams.
Leading by Kenny Anderson, PJ Brown, Greg Graham, Vaughan Fleming, Kharid Levice, and Zhang Hao formed a small team.
The characteristics of this team are very obvious. Most of them are players with excellent athletic ability. Vaughan Fleming specially signed back to help Zhang Hao, so he naturally joined Zhang Hao's small team.
On the other hand, there is a small team led by Chris Chiles, who is mainly engaged in positional battles and offense. He has a good relationship with Zhang Hao, but the team is not only weak at present, but also has a split situation. He will definitely choose to join the team's strongest scorer Almond Gilliam, and Jason Williams and Kevin Edwards, two teammates who are good at positional battles, form a small team.
There are people in the world. The more chaotic and weaker the place, the more this is. Weak people often prefer to bully weaker people, whether they are weak in ability or psychologically.
Zhang Hao had no choice but to do this, so he chose to train well.
He knew very well that the final decision of who will play was not to have a good relationship with which teammate, but to win the favor of the coaching staff.
Not only did he be serious when practicing with his fast teammates, but Zhang Hao worked very seriously and hard with any teammates. He did not fail to get along with Chiles because of the division of small teams in the team, and Gilliam's teammates broke up... Of course, he did not make friends with both sides, which was the stupidest way.
Just train carefully.
Sure enough, after the teammates gathered, Zhang Hao got the team manual and saw the tactics inside. As expected, the team did not deliberately accommodate him.
The coaching staff has made clear positioning for each player. There are multiple overall frameworks of tactics in the team manual. This is the same for each player and the differences are the tactical details printed separately based on the positioning of each player.
These tactics are mainly divided into two major frameworks: positional warfare and counterattack tactics. The counterattack tactics are very simple, and counterattacks are fought. These days, they are basically focused on defensive counterattacks. Zhang Hao can understand why their counterattack tactics are simple... Their team does not have very good conditions for defensive counterattacks.
The positional warfare tactical framework is divided into two parts, one part is the slow-paced tactical framework with Chiles, Jason Williams and Edwards as the core.
Another part is the tactical framework of fast-paced positional battle offensive and defensive battles with Kenny Anderson as the core.
That is, he needs to start learning new running content again.
However, Zhang Hao saw that all the tactics had his role as Zhang, and there were quite a few... "Is this the team want me to play at any time?"
...
On September 28, the day after the whole team gathered, the team training began.
The main thing is tactical running training.
Zhang Hao feels that the team must attach importance to him. His importance is not low in every tactic, and he can be important because of his good shooting.
In addition to good shooting, his athletic ability has also been taken into account. The content he needs to train is more complicated than the training content in the previous 10 days.
After actually starting team training, he is prone to "hesitation" and shows that it is obvious.
Because he knows too many running routes, sometimes he encounters a kind of position, and several running routes appear in his mind.
There are many choices, and they are often better than the team's tactical choices.
But once he runs according to his own ideas, even if it is just the team's running tactics, it will become a mess.
Because teammates cannot adjust accordingly!
After two days of training, Zhang Hao became more and more chaotic...
What made Zhang Hao most incredible is that he practiced so chaoticly, but compared with the entire team, there was no sense of incongruity at all.
The teammates also seemed to be new to tactics!
However, his teammates are better than him, so they don’t think so much, and they can see the progress. However, he still has a lot of training...
On October 1st, Media Day, there was no training schedule today, and Zhang Hao had nothing else to do. He just arrived at this place, and there was nothing fun in this place. His teammates who lived in Jersey City, which was more than an hour's drive, had something to play with, but he didn't, and he still came to the stadium early.
Originally, for the Nets, there was no difference between media day and media day. Even when Coleman was there, they were not much liked by the media.
But this time, there are many media coming from Asia to apply for media days. The Nets management was flattered. When Zhang Hao arrived at the stadium, the staff were very unfamiliar and busy.
You know, even if they play in the playoffs, if their opponents are not popular teams, their interview room will be empty after the game, which is so miserable. Today, it will be like a ghost to them.
Zhang Hao has two exclusive interviews today, but since he was selected, he has interviewed a lot. After more times, he got used to it. After coming to the team, he continued to train. He did not practice together today, so he found Vaughan Fleming to teach him the details of training to catch and shoot.
After practicing the catch and shoot training, Zhang Hao told Vaughan Fleming about his confusion over the past three days of training.
He has been analyzing the problem for the past three days - what should he do?
Vaughan Fleming can't teach Zhang Hao any other things. He has experience this!
He has played for so many years, and he has played in a strong lineup, but he also has a bad teammate.
If you have more experience, it is experience!
Vaughan Fleming replied: "I don't think you have to think so much, don't worry about how many positions you know, even if you are likely... it's wrong. You must have wanted to get better tactics than in the tactical manuals formulated by the coaching staff, but do you think the coaching staff really can't think of how to improve the tactics? But do you think we are suitable for more complex tactics?
We haven't played a game now, and it's useless to know better tactics. We don't know how to adjust the details because our lineup is not good. You should see this. Except for Kenny and Chris, no one is better than you.
Therefore, we will definitely not practice complex tactics for the time being. What we need to practice now is the tactics formulated based on the characteristics of each player in our lineup. This is what we are most suitable for now. We need to summarize experience and make adjustments through more training and competitions.
You have to have confidence that what you know will always work, but it may not be the time yet.
Just like when I was a kid, I can use those poses now.”
After saying this, Zhang Hao suddenly realized...it was mainly the last sentence.
These things he knew were not connected together, and this is the gap in experience!
Teammates cannot accept more complex tactics at all and do not have better ability to respond on the spot.
He now understood what Randy Whitman said to him before.
He personally has a better awareness, but the team has no chance to show it.
After understanding this, Zhang Hao made one thing clear: what he wanted to practice was the tactics in the team's tactics manual.
He felt that what he had to do now was to practice hard, forcefully ignore his ideas, and remember the team's tactical running route first. After all, he was playing in this team, not to "correct" anything.
Once the goal is clear, it will actually be much easier to deal with.
At this time, Zhang Hao also discovered the benefits of his rich running line library. He could almost understand what he should do in the team's tactics and knew what to do. Before, he just couldn't help but "picking".
But he really understands the running route of the team's unball pitcher in the team's tactics very quickly. What he has to overcome now is his instinctive "picking" idea.
After a comprehensive analysis, Zhang Hao felt that he might not be slower to learn tactics than other high school students who entered the league, because he also had his advantages and knew a lot. At first glance, it brought great trouble to his practical application learning, but as long as he started to learn smoothly and practice, his advantages in this area will become bigger and bigger!
In fact, there is no practical experience, more and more practical experience, and the ability to make choices will be stronger and stronger. This advantage will be reflected.
After determining the direction, Zhang Hao practiced two sets of receiving and shooting. In addition to developing new shooting methods, he could only practice hard, and practice made perfect.
After practicing until after nine o'clock in the morning, my teammates arrived and reporters were already shooting. Zhang Hao was too familiar with the media filming, the court sports station...
However, this time it was not jointly organized by the imperial court station and Xinhua News Agency, but the imperial court station sent a team, with several cameramen and reporters interviewing, not only interviewing Zhang Hao, but there was nothing to interview here. Xia Tian asked too much. Zhang Hao had also interviewed twice in the past half month after he arrived in Rutherford Town, and more were interviewing Zhang Hao's teammates.
This is the first time a player who has been playing for several years in the Nets has encountered such a situation. He is very excited, but the questions asked make some players unhappy because they almost all involve Zhang Hao.
It is indeed quite difficult to talk about topics related to Zhang Hao, because we only spent half a month at most, and some even met for two or three days.
Nowadays, the Chinese market has no idea in the minds of NBA players. Unlike in the original time and space, every player would be asked by his agent to remember some standard answers when interviewed by Chinese reporters 10 years later.
In this case, those who have a good relationship with Zhang Hao among the Nets players will exaggerate Hao’s talent and hard work.
