79. We really are fish belly (seeking the moon)
On September 26, the Nets signed Robert Vordan, the 15th player on the team's roster, and the 15-man roster was signed.
Except for Robert Vaudan, who has not returned to the team, all 14 other players of the team have returned to the team.
Another day of off-ball running training has passed, and Zhang Hao came to the Nets for running training, which has been in a row for 9 consecutive days.
Unlike the various running route training in the previous few days, starting from day 5, there are repeated training every day.
Randy Whitman chose the running routes close to the team tactics he formulated from Zhang Hao to strengthen training.
This kind of training was originally very boring, but now it has become even more boring.
Even Kenny Anderson admired Zhang Hao's patience. He repeated the running positions over and over again, and took the ball and shot. This boring level made him wonder if Zhang Hao could persevere.
He felt that he would definitely not be able to hold on. He still liked the way of playing with the ball. He could play without the ball, but he was definitely not like Zhang Hao.
After the training, Randy Whitman called Zhang Hao to the office, without greetings, and said directly: "Aix, you have to understand one thing. The running tactics you practice are not the tactics of our team. This is just a process of developing your own running without the ball. At that time, you still have to re-learn the team's tactics... To adapt to the running of teammates, players without the ball need to accommodate the team. Do you understand?"
Very direct...
This is the 11th day after Zhang Hao met Randy Whitman. Compared with Butch Baird's coaching attitude, which can be called a casual coach, Zhang Hao feels that Randy Whitman is more like a coach.
Meticulousness is not enough to describe Randy Whitman. When dealing with matters related to the team, Randy Whitman can be described as harsh.
Of course, it is not just about being harsh on others, but also being harsh on yourself.
So Zhang Hao didn't think that Randy Whitman was wrong. This was due to his personality. He was a coach who was dedicated and hard-working.
"I understand, this is just me laying the foundation, and I have more to learn next."
Zhang Hao knew that the team could not directly change the team's originally planned tactics for him. The team's tactics must be considered more people in the team, mainly the core of the ball. Players like his off-ball play should be adjusted according to the core of the ball play.
It is already rare that the team is willing to find ways to help her train before the training camp.
Randy Whitman looked at Zhang Hao's reaction and nodded in a difficult way, expressing his approval.
Randy Whitman has no objection to who Butch Baird wants to choose.
Randy Whitman has no objection to Butch Baird's extra attention and care after choosing a rookie. If he chooses a player himself, he feels that he will take extra care.
But it was Zhang Hao who made him satisfied with Zhang Hao himself.
Randy Whitman has been quite satisfied with Zhang Hao during the past 9 days of training.
Zhang Hao was still waiting for Randy Whitman to continue speaking, but after waiting for a while, no one spoke...
“…”
“…”
"Then I'll leave first?"
"good."
“…”
...
Although I admire Randy Whitman for his concentration and seriousness, especially with Butch Baird for comparison, Randy Whitman seems to be really outstanding.
However, Zhang Hao felt it was very difficult to communicate with Randy Whitman!
He heard that Butch Baird and Randy Whitman had a very good relationship, which made him even more difficult to understand. These two people with very different personalities had a very good relationship...
But thinking about himself and Pierce... Zhang Hao doesn't seem so difficult to accept.
Another night passed, and on September 27th, finally, everyone in the Nets' new season gathered!
When Zhang Hao came to the team in the morning, he saw Robert Vordan who was undergoing physical testing, and the player detection system was turned on.
"The team lineup of the special signing player Zhang Hao is in is complete, the player detection mode is turned on, and the Nets player ability evaluation can be viewed. The host can use the player detection mode to guide the special signing player Zhang Hao."
"Robert Vaudan, 25 years old, 211 cm tall, 113 kg weight, 57 abilities..."
This was the 19th pick in the second round in 1992. The rookie contract was signed for a year, and after the game, there was no team to ask for it. He went to Europe for two years and played well. He was signed back by the Nets at the age of 25.
It’s a good time to scrape the lottery, and it’s a good time to scrape the lottery. Last year I scratched Chris Chiles and I’m going to continue scraping this year.
"The remaining life span is 273 days, and the available life span is 272 days.
Special signing player: Zhang Hao.
Age/Date of Birth: 18 years old/January 7, 1977.
Height 206 cm. Arm span 216 cm
Weight: 96 kg.
Position: Forward
Team: New Jersey Nets.
Ability evaluation 69
Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 90 (explosion 82), bounce 94, flexibility 95, physical strength 91...
Shooting: 54 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, 89 layups...
Technology: 59 ball control, 51 pass, 87 catch and shoot…”
Zhang Hao evaluated his ability. Compared with half a year ago, he grew 7 cm taller and his weight gained 6 kg, and his explosive power increased a little. As his weight gained and his muscles increased, he naturally increased a little... In the era when Larry Johnson and Charles Barkley waited for players less than 200 cm to be rampant in the inside, the standard height of the league power forward was 204-207 cm, not as many tall people as they did later.
His height makes the team's veteran insiders feel threatened, and he feels normal.
Zhang Hao feels that he can play as a small forward without the ball...
In terms of technology, I have been back to the team for so many time. Under the guidance of assistant coaches, trainers and veterans, I have conducted professional training for nearly two weeks, and the catch and shooting has improved by 1 point.
His catch-and-shooting shots are not running positions, but pure catch-and-shooting shots are first-class. If you want to improve qualitatively, it is actually difficult to rely solely on training. It is necessary to combine practical combat and training.
The passing has improved a lot in the past two weeks. His ball control is not particularly bad at his height. So Butch Baird intentionally asked the assistant coach to teach him to play the ball. The small bottleneck of 49 easily broke through and the passing ball was increased to 51.
The weight of professional athletes is always amazing. Kenny Anderson returned to the team one week earlier than Zhang Hao, and three weeks later, he lost 7 kilograms. Compared with Zhang Hao's return to the team, Kenny Anderson's image had changed a lot, and his round face had lost weight.
The player detection system was finally turned on, and Zhang Hao immediately opened the subtitles. With a thought, his teammates' ability evaluation popped up.
The first thing to look at is naturally the strongest player in the team in theory. Kenny Anderson, who averaged 9.6 assists and 9.4 assists per game in the past two seasons respectively.
"Kenny Anderson, 25 years old, 183 cm tall, 88 kg weight, 84 ability evaluation, 86 offense, 69 defense, 94 passes, 78 three-pointers, 83 mid-range shots, 88 layups, 91 speed, 81 strength..."
Speed point guard, excellent long shot ability, top pass!
Zhang Hao didn't think it was high at all, but he felt it was too low and his speed was not as fast as he imagined. It should be that his weight had not been completely reduced. Last season, Kenny Anderson averaged 17.6 points and 9.4 assists per game, and 18.8 points and 9.6 assists per game last season, but only 84's ability evaluation, so he should be stronger. He is now entering his heyday at the age of 25. If he is not injured or sick, he is not only at this level.
Zhang Hao asked Pelinka to collect information about the Nets. After Coleman left, Kenny Anderson was regarded as a star who was expected to average 20+10 per game.
Zhang Hao was a little confused. In his memory of the future, he had no impression of Kenny Anderson. In the future, he would be a fan who pays great attention to basketball...
Kenny Anderson has performed so well in the past two years, but in the third and fourth grades, according to common sense, he should become stronger.
But seeing how fat one summer is... not self-disciplined in diet is a big problem!
"Chris Chiles, 28 years old, 191 cm tall, 88 kg weight, 76 ability evaluation, 71 offense, 79 defense, 86 passes, 75 three-pointers, 55 mid-range shots, 85 layups, 86 speed, 84 strength..."
Substitute point guards Chiles and Kenny Anderson are completely two types of point guards. They are still fast and average in point guard position, but they have strong strength and poor personal offense, but they are good at defense, and pass first-class. According to Zhang Hao, Chiles' salary this season is $310,000, and even less last season, with only a minimum salary of $106,000.
Zhang Hao had an impression of Chiles, who was a member of the Black Eighth Legion in New York in the future.
Zhang Hao had no impression of the stronger ones. Instead, the weaker substitute gave him an impression, which made him feel strange... But in basketball, anything could happen.
Zhang Hao, the point guard, felt that their Nets were really excellent, but when he saw other positions, his heart was cold!
Their starting point guard and substitute point guard are at the front-line level in the whole league, but after Zhang Hao looked at their ability evaluations, he really dared to say that - I can do it when I get on!
“Defenders: Kenny Anderson, 25 years old, 84 ability evaluation; Chris Chiles, 27 years old, 79 ability evaluation; Chris Chiles, 23 years old, 65 ability evaluation;
Kevin Edwards, 31 years old, 75 ability evaluation; Vaughan Fleming, 33 years old, 69 ability evaluation; Greg Graham, 25 years old, 69 ability evaluation; Rex Waters, 25 years old, 59 ability evaluation.
Forwards: Almond Gilliam, 31 years old, 80 ability evaluation; Tim Perry, 31 years old, 61 ability evaluation; Gerald Grass, 28 years old, 57 ability evaluation;
PJ Brown, 26 years old, ability evaluation 75; Jason Williams, 27 years old, ability evaluation 73.
Center: Inka Dell, 23 years old, injured; Robert Vaudan, 25 years old, ability evaluation 57."
After reading the teammates' abilities evaluation, Zhang Hao felt a little cold.
Too real! Too cruel!
These teammates, except for the rebounding maniac Jason Williams, who has rebounding ability above 95, assisting defense and defense PJ Brown has defense above 85, Kenny Anderson and Chiles have passes above 85, Almond Gilliam has strong close-range scoring ability and strong strength... No one else is the type who has distinct characteristics and top strengths like him, Zhang.
Chapter completed!
