Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 62 Xiaode Appears!

("Yeah, of course there's going to be some disappointment...you know, I'm thinking...God, our starting point guard can't make it, and I don't even get half a minute of it...You know, no matter how badly I played in Phoenix, I had 10 or 15 minutes a night to learn from..."

"But when you play, we don't see the loss written on your face...instead I see you smiling..."

"Um...yes...yeah, you know, you have to keep your mentality in the right place at all times...it's a prerequisite for you to perform at your normal level...I'm lucky that I understand that and...that's why I proved myself...it was a great night..." Dragic said with a smile.

"Thank you Dragic, thank you! You are great!"

This is what happened during the media reception after the game, when the slightly excited young boy was interviewed. )
The camera cuts to near the midfield, the tired Patch walks over and high-fives the young guy who appeared on the field for the first time tonight...

Whether it is the audience, the commentator or the commentator of ESPN, they all looked at this young man who came to the stage with strange eyes...

The unpronounceable English words were reported from the DJ's mouth, and it seemed to be a young man from Europe.

"The Rockets player is..."

"He seems to be a three-party deal that happened not long ago, and the Rockets added to the acquisition of Mayo..."

Several ESPN experts observed with great interest.

"This is a player from Slovenia, let us welcome with the warmest applause - Goran Dragic!" DJ
If so...

There was sparse applause at the Toyota Center to welcome the new aid's debut, and more fans were on the sidelines...

"Sophomore rookie? Let's see what he did last season with the Phoenix Suns...um...4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists..."

"The Suns already have the greatest peak guard in the league, Steve Nash, and they also have the league's best sixth man, the Brazilian Lightning Leonardo Barbosa...he can only appear in some garbage time..."

"Tell me, is he strong?"

"At least he doesn't look weak..."

"I like this guy..." Drexler also chatted at the scene, and he smiled hesitantly, arousing the appetite of the audience.

"Really? I remember that you usually don't like to praise people..." Joan Barry chimed in with a laugh.

"That's right... you know, he can shoot 3s, he can cut, he can play fast breaks, he can dunk, and he looks very smart... There is no one who doesn't like the best point guards..."

"In the past season, he has been playing the role of a student, learning how to be a good point guard with Steve." Old Revol also added.

"He's only in the second grade, has he really learned anything? At least this season he's been scoring a lot, close to double digits..."

All the fans nodded one after another, waiting for the game to continue with great anticipation.

In fact, what Ron is most afraid of is that after the defeat, the fans will be driven by instinct to miss the players he traded away...

Whether it's Brooks or Battier, these once household names in Houston have left indelible marks in the hearts of fans...

Fortunately, Mayo's strong performance yesterday has made the fans sane enough now, but even Ron himself is not sure, if this game is buried here, how many fans will spray him for nothing on the Internet and in social situations after the game...

If the first new aid, Mayo, lays down the ground; the second new aid, Dragic, can keep the fruits of victory. This perfect situation makes Ron's blood boil...

let's go!Catch the chicken! (Nickname for Dragic by Chinese fans)
Since this is the second back-to-back game, there is no training session scheduled today. The team chose to let the players rest, which is understandable... Dragic just communicated with Adelman and others before the game to comprehend the team's routines...

That's why the old man took him so long to tuck him in, and when it was really a last resort, he sent him out with the attitude of giving it a try.

"I hope this child has strong comprehension ability..." Adelman tightly squeezed his hands, filled with cold sweat...

Scola handed the ball to Xiaode!
He quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and his familiar dribbling moved the whole scene uplifted...

Standing on his side, Mayo gestured with both hands to ask for a move. Seeing that Xiaode didn't pass the ball, Mayo understood and inserted towards the baseline...

"The Rockets seem to be trying to make a difference!"

The young Slovenian held the ball in his right hand and raised his left hand high. He seemed to be gesticulating something. TJ Ford stepped back and looked back carefully.

Scola quickly brought it up, this is a pick-and-roll posture...

Everyone was wondering, suddenly at the moment of single-block cover, and when Hibbert behind him was about to rush out to interfere with his rhythm, Xiaode accelerated to start!
No fancy moves!

He just flipped the ball from his right hand to his left, but accelerated to the hinterland of the penalty area!

The movement was done in one go, and many people didn't see clearly what was going on, and he had already appeared near the reasonable collision zone!
Just a flickering figure...

That's right!Elegant figure, super fast speed, and keen perception, at the moment when Ford and Hibbert were waiting for Scola to set up the pick-and-roll position, Xiaode started ahead of time!
Granger, who was slapped on the horse, tried to reach out from behind Xiaode to destroy the ball, but Xiaode had already collected the ball like a hurricane and made a 3-step basket...

Sakuragi Hanamichi's common layup allowed Xiaode to score two points. This was the only time in the entire game that the Pacers made it so easy for a Rockets player to score against an empty basket!

He had such an eye-catching performance on his debut. Many fans on the scene did not hesitate to applaud them, but some demanding fans still wait and see. You must know that the Rockets, whether it is the former Alstom or the current OJ-Mayo, are well-known players on the street court. Obviously, Dragic’s ordinary breakthrough and overly simple finishing methods cannot make people more interested...

Although the deity scored 2 points in the first offense, many fans still questioned him and even booed him for not remembering Dunk when facing an empty basket...

"He won't be unable to jump, he is a guy with mediocre talent!"

"Couldn't he be a bitch..."

It would be wrong to think so!Ron looked happily at Xiaode, who was as active as a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, and thought to himself, the light and easy method of scoring just now should be the scoring method that every sane coach most hopes to see!

Sure enough, Adelman kept talking with the teaching assistants around him, and he had already begun to have a new understanding of this kid.

Keen insight, and a sense of self-protection when he first played... Obviously, he is a player who can play with his brain. Those guys who say he can't jump will soon be severely slapped in the face.

Soon TJ-Ford found that the guy in front of him was a guy much taller than himself.

Dragic's biggest advantage is his height. His height is 1. This is what Alstom, Brooks and even Lowry lacked before. He not only makes up for the lack of height on the outside, but he also likes to keep close to the opponent in defense. His lateral movement and reaction speed are different from ordinary people...

Granger's pick-and-roll, he snatched it out with a brisk step, and the Pacers wasted a few seconds of offensive time in vain.

Ford wanted to rely on his slightly burly body to force him down, but suddenly found that this guy couldn't resist him no matter what. Although his body seemed thin, his will was quite tenacious. He gritted his teeth and kept putting pressure on his opponent. He looked like the brother of Mad Dog Hyde driven by the desire for revenge...

Is this his usual defensive habits?
Although his physical condition is not unique, he relied on his unremitting efforts and tenacity to upgrade the Rockets' defensive system. His agile figure seems to be quite Nash's demeanor...

24 seconds violation!Ford threw the ball out of bounds angrily. This is the first 24-second violation of the Pacers' main force...

"They are like this. They would rather violate the 24-second rule than play fast. They want to firmly control the rhythm..." Olajuwon said anxiously.

It seems that instead of scoring, the Pacers spend more energy on their own defense. It seems that only by scoring continuously can they firmly grasp the rhythm in their own hands.

Xiaode once again dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, still a pick-and-roll!This time, Hibbert shrank behind Scola, and TJ Ford pulled and pulled, interfering with Druid's control of the ball in the opponent's hand. Suddenly Scola moved to the side, and Druid accelerated into Hibbert's arms!
Still the most basic dribble break without any fancy stuff!

This actually caused Ford, who was known for his speed behind him, to stagger and almost fell!
The fans at the scene hadn't had time to see what happened, but they just watched the meteor-like figure suddenly stop!

Facing "Black Yao Ming" Hibbert Xiaode slammed on the brakes and changed hands on the spot!

He is fast and slow, although his explosive power is not strong, but he has a strong sense of rhythm!
Especially when the time difference was just right, it was when Scola got rid of everyone and ran to his most accurate range of 45 degrees!
Just as Hibbert was hesitating whether to pay attention to Scola who was empty basket, Xiaode started again!

Hibbert's eyes widened suddenly, and the others were completely overwhelmed by this series of dizzying dribbling moves by this kid from Slovenia...

This sense of rhythm is like flowing water. No one knows when he will speed up and when he will stop. Murphy, who is defending, can only raise his hands high, motionless like a block...

Just a confident smile appeared on Xiaode's face...

The ball fell to the ground in his hands!

He took the first step in an accelerated state, and Hibbert behind him and Murphy in front flew up at the same time. He was suddenly surprised to find that the kid actually took a second step towards the deeper area behind the basket after a pause!
Layup!His soft hands are like Manu Ginobili!

Under the witness of everyone in the audience, use the most common way to beat 3 people in a row!
This is self-paced and European-step!

Eurostep!
That's right!This young man from Slovenia used his actions to present the best greeting gift to his new club!
Heroes are not afraid of being born low!This man named Dragic is using his own way to create an unusually strong hurricane for the Toyota Center...
