Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 236 The Joy of Victory!
101:99, relying on Yao Ming's hook shot at the last moment, Houston ended the opponent's incomparable giants in the new hero era, and also brought the opponent back to the prototype...

"It's a wonderful night, isn't it?" Ron happily gave Dayao a high-five as he passed by...

"Hmph! It's okay!" Sloan followed beside him and hummed...

"They don't have a particularly good offensive method. In addition to making fouls and breaking points, they actually make offensive fouls after scoring... This is one of the reasons why they did not hesitate to pay the luxury tax to introduce Carlos Boozer..." Adelman and Ron explained after the game.

The locker room was mixed with players who were changing clothes and reporters who were interviewing. When Ron gave a brief introduction, there was thunderous applause.

What Ron didn't expect was that Mr. Sloan would quickly enter his role as soon as he came...

He picked up the data sheet for this game, and then sat quietly aside to analyze it.

"Hi! Rick! It's really terrible..." Mr. Sloan put on airs when he came up, pretending to be very worried, and said while pinching the statistics.

"Ah? What?" The old rival suddenly became an official business, and Mr. Adelman hadn't reacted for a while...

"I mean our defense, it's terrible... let a team like the Chicago Bulls who can't even find the rim get nearly 100 points..." Old Sloan babbled...

"Hi! Master Sloan, I like you!" Ariza said when passing by.

"Thank you! You are Ariza, I don't deny that you are the best defender on this team...(Ariza is very happy)...But on my old team, your defense was like shit..."

"Pfft..."

Everyone slapped their faces, and Ariza almost staggered and fell to the ground...

"It sucks, it really sucks... Even Gibson's first-year second-round pick can knock 20 points on your heads," Sloan shook his head again and again...

"But...but why is this team, which can't even find the basket, so invincible after the All-Star Game!" A player next to him muttered puzzled.

"Because..." Mr. Sloan's eyes reflected a strange brilliance: "Because they restricted their opponents even lower...and this is the charm of defense!"

...

In the post-match press conference, the returning hero Yao Ming was of course the protagonist, but Ron's appearance after the game and what he was about to announce seemed to be deliberately stealing the show...

After just over a month, the uncrowned king Jerry Sloan finally returned to the basketball game he loves, and continued to play his residual heat in the NBA...

But it is not to come out again as the coach, but to serve as a senior basketball consultant.

Sloan also used another way to continue to shine in Houston.

"Yes." Ron announced without timidity facing the camera: "Sloan is a coach I respect. He has unparalleled experience. I think his experience can help the team, so I hired him and served as the team's senior basketball consultant. In the future, Sloan will assist Houston's basketball operations department and coaching staff to evaluate players in daily training, training camps and summer leagues. In addition, Sloan will also participate in the construction of the team's strategic and tactical system. Occasionally, he will observe training and preside over the daily management of players."

"OH-My-god! You've ruined our amateur activities enough, do you want someone more severe?" Barry muttered from behind.

"Did you know? This guy is known as 'management wide'. Under him, there are [-] express regulations, and [-] small rules, as well as five major prohibitions, six major rules and..."

"Ha ha…"

Everyone was amused...

"Jerry's basketball knowledge and experience are invaluable, and his insight will also be of great help to us as we pursue to become a championship contending team," Ron said. "We are very pleased to officially announce that Jerry has returned to the NBA as an advisor to our team."

Someone shared the blame, and Rockets coach Adelman also readily accepted and said: "I am very happy that Jerry can continue to stay in the NBA. His rich basketball experience will benefit us. I look forward to his continued contribution...I believe we can be better than before..."

Under Ron's macro arrangement, the two uncrowned kings finally gathered in Houston. In this upcoming miraculous season, maybe everything is unexpected, but still reasonable...

Come to think of it, Sloan's counter-defense, pick-and-roll, plus iron defense plus Adelman's Princeton and offense...

Is it really necessary to match Yao Ming with a group of CBAs to verify his quality?

Sloan said: "In this new job position, I hope that no matter what way I can help the basketball operations department and Ron, let them achieve their set goals. I would also like to thank Alexander for giving me the opportunity to return to the NBA."

With a glib tone, it seems that this old man is very rigorous, but in fact he knows it well...It is obvious that I got you here, but you thank Alexander for being a stingy...Ron smiled knowingly.

Sloan led the team to the playoffs 19 times, the finals twice, and won the division title seven times.

In addition, the Jazz had a winning rate of 16% for 50 consecutive seasons, 13+ games in 50 seasons, and 3+ games in 60 seasons. Such a well-versed defensive assistant can always keep Adelman's coaching staff in check. The best of both worlds... It is the temper of the old man, even Ron is afraid of three points...

For the joy of victory, there is only one last link left, which is Yao Ming and his smile in front of the reporters, which is similar to that in the rampage comics...

"It was a wonderful night..." Yao Ming said to the reporter of "Sports World" with a smile.

Although the Rockets had a crisis in the first half, the Rockets still relied on Yao Ming's superhero-style return, broke out in the second half, and finally defeated the Chicago Bulls 101-99.

After the game, the Associated Press immediately reported on the game under the title "Return Night".

When talking about the reasons for the victory, both Yao Ming and Mayo attributed to the strengthening of the team's defense in the second half.

Unlike Yao Ming in a suit and leather shoes, Mayo, a shirtless man, showed off his muscular body in the locker room...

"Yes, everything you saw is what I want to say... It's very simple, Yao Ming is back, this is our real strength, so we won..." In order to avoid too much speculation from the media, Mayo blinked his left eye slightly at the camera to show his joy...

"We can all be so full of energy, be so active, support each other defensively, and help fill up positions." Yao Ming said seriously, "This is what we should do, and this is who we really are."

"The defense still needs work, but overall we're doing pretty well." Mayo chimed in, and it looked like he'd become buddies with Yao Ming: "The game didn't start well, and we gave them everything they wanted, the paint, the [-]-pointers. As the game progressed, we stepped up the defense, and while the last couple of shots, they got it, oh no, I mean they made a couple of really tough shots...well... we could contain them, that's what it was..."

In the visiting team's locker room, the Cowboys kept complaining to reporters...

"In the first half, we were able to move the ball continuously and then launch attacks." Noah said hastily, and it seemed that the feeling of being taught by Yao Ming was not good: "But in the second half, it was difficult for us to find such opportunities."

"I know we don't have an edge against Yao Ming," Rose said in the visiting locker room. "I want to move Yao Ming so that I can hit my layup, but Houston's perimeter defense is not as good as it used to be.

"Hey! Cheer up! Don't forget about our opponent tomorrow..." Thibodeau suddenly looked fierce...

"Who?" Everyone shuddered...

There was a reporter from Houston next to him, who interjected kindly.

"Beat-LA!"

...

When talking about the injury, Yao Ming said that there was nothing serious, but there was obvious congestion and oozing from the sutured scar on his left foot...

"I know it's not serious." Yao Ming said, "but now I feel like everything is burned."

Finally, he managed to deal with all the reporters. When Yao Ming limped towards the team doctor's room, he roared with a high-pitched 280 decibel noise: "Hey! Then who! Can you take that thing out? Damn...Thinking about it now is scary! Then who!"

In the corner, a Taoist priest giggled and giggled: "Stupid pig! That's just a normal inflammation..."

　Two more!
