Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 80

In the training camp, when the team was resting, Kevin Cato proposed to practice one-on-one singles. The idea was very simple. He felt that he was fat and wide, and he was called a small one in college. O'Neal, who was drafted high but didn't start, made the kid feel unbalanced.

Of course, no matter how good this guy's one-on-one performance is, the coaching staff will not start him. This is not only because of Meng Yifan, but also Shan Tao's versatility, which makes the coaching staff shine. I think this is simply an enhanced version of "Ghost Hand" Divac with singles ability.

Since it was Kevin Cato's one-on-one proposal, everyone gave him face and let him play first. Mark Blunt was stuck near the penalty area near Cato's penalty area. Old Mark Jackson ignored Blunt's interference. He easily fed the ball into Cato's hands, allowing him to catch the ball comfortably.

"This kid is interesting. Even if he can't become a superstar after training, he can at least become a strong point in the starting lineup." The players played at the bottom and the coach watched from above. Lambiel looked at Cato like a bulldozer, easily knocking Mark down. Blount squeezed to the basket, then scored with a small hook, and couldn't help admiring.

Meng Yifan had a strange expression on his face. His original intention for Kevin Cato was very simple, that is, to be a meat shield. When meeting O'Neill, a qualified meat shield can effectively consume O'Neal's physical strength. I really didn't think it would be of any use.

No wonder Lambiel was often dismissed when he became the head coach of the NBA in the future. With this vision, there is no one else.

Destroyed an opponent's Kato, directly challenged Shan Tao, topped, and then pushed for a long time, but didn't go deep...

As a heavy center forward, Mr. Shan Tao has good physique, plus the versatility and flexibility endowed by Olynik's star card, God's prediction, directly slapped Cato's messy dance hook under the basket up.

Then there are all kinds of teaching by Mr. Shan Tao, whether it is medium and long-distance shooting, or inside footsteps, all of them are well-played. It was directly taken over by Teacher Shan Tao.

After Mr. Shan Tao showed off, Rasheed Wallace was next to show off his ability. In the Washington Bullets, although he was suppressed for not much playing time, he trained every day with All-Stars such as Weber and Juwan Howard. Wallace's ability is still not lost.

After finally waiting for these two big players to show off, Cato was full of energy, and when he was about to show off his prestige, someone with the same name as the veteran in the team came on the field cheerfully. Cato couldn't squeeze on the offensive end, and this guy on the defensive end It was more flexible than Kato, and directly fooled Kato.

Including when he traded with the Knicks, the trade that was not valued by Dolan was added. John Wallace is also good at running and jumping. What a big deal.

Mark Blunt, who was beaten by Cato just now, also responded on the offensive end. It can be said that this warrior has a variety of insiders with different styles, skilled, flying, and volume, including Speaking of painless...

After some discussion, the substitute lineup can be regarded as basically determined:
The chief backup point guard is undoubtedly Chauncey Billups. The coaches will push him to the starting position at the right time according to his adaptability to the game, including the strength of the opponent, such as playing Philadelphia... You definitely can't expect Mark Jackson, who has old arms and legs, to defend Iverson...

The chief backup shooting guard swings between Kerry Trent and Snow, and chooses different players according to the opponent. Snow played, but if the opponent's backup shooting guard is average, it's not impossible to bring Trent up to perform a dunk.

As the chief substitute small forward, there is no doubt that the veteran Chris Mullin needs an absolute firepower on the bench, and his athletic ability has declined slightly, but the veteran Mullin whose strength is still here is the inevitable choice of the team.

The chief substitute power forward was given to John Wallace, not only because this guy can run and jump well, Feitian Dundi looks good, but also because this guy was selected in the first round of 96, and the contract is compared to other players. The cheap second-round picks are still a little bit more expensive, and it is king to get results early and trade early.

In fact, the NBA first-round pick contract is not that expensive, but Meng Langtai still thinks that it takes up salary space, so it is better to trade it early.

In addition to John Wallace as an inside substitute, Meng Yifan also brought Mark Jackson and Mark Blunt. These two insiders have different styles, and their combat power is also very good. Based on this calculation, the 12-man roster for general games it came out.

In general games without Snow, without Chris Crawford and Kevin Cato, in special games, such as against the Lakers, you need to bring Snow and Kevin Cato, as for Crawford? emmm, just train slowly first.

There will be playing time, there will be a starting position, and there will be a big contract, but it's hard to say which team he is in.

As for the preseason, Meng Yifan gave enough playing time to the substitute players. The starting players and veterans basically just played for a few minutes. Mr. Shan Tao didn’t even play a single preseason game, which attracted a lot of attention. There was a lot of discussion in the media, saying that Meng Yifan was hunting wild geese all day long to find reliable rookies, but now he is considered to be in the hands of Shan Tao.

However, Warriors fans also saw a lot of hard-working players in the preseason and actively offered advice and suggestions for the team. For example, some people suggested that Kevin Cato start. punish the opponent.Looking at the well-known center Bradley on the opposite side of the game, Meng Yifan fell into deep thought...

Another example is that some fans suggested that Rasheed Wallace should play center because of his fighting spirit. Facing the referee and fighting hard, his hoarse roar was moving, and even the referee didn't want the Warriors to play hard A player with great energy, give him a T if you have nothing to do, it is said that most of the money in Rashid's rookie contract is used to pay the league fine...

Well, according to gossip, Rasheed Wallace played so hard because he bought a big house under his rookie contract. As a result, he ate too much T and owed a lot of debt.As for whether this news is true or not, we don't know, and we dare not ask.

Regarding all kinds of public opinion and worries outside, Meng Yifan said that it was trivial. After all, the team's first game was against a team that had just ended the chaos and was renamed the Washington Wizards. Son, just actively prepare for the battle.
