Chapter 195 The Art of Eating Pie

When McHale told Xu Hao his thoughts in private, Xu Hao felt a thousand horses running wildly in his heart.Please, I'm just a rookie, even if you mention the starting No. 2003 position, I'm still a rookie. Is it appropriate for you to hand over a No. [-] pick in the [-] class to me?Xu Hao really wanted to say: A concubine can't do it!
However, this task is undeniable for him. It is a big taboo for rookies to rely on the head coach's blue eyes to pick and choose, or that sentence, unless you are a super genius like James who happens once in decades, and you happen to be a super genius. Only when you meet a head coach who is not strong enough and a management who wants to make you the top card of the team, you can make a promise when you first step into the league.Of course Xu Hao also showed good strength and potential, but he is not qualified enough to get the same treatment as James.

But Xu Hao didn't intend to take over the task without haggling over the price. After doing so, the head coach may only think it's your duty.So he said to McHale with embarrassment: "Coach, I know this is what I have to do as a point guard, but Darko has played in the league for so long, I am a rookie to guide him, I am afraid Isn't it appropriate?"

McHale patted his head, and said angrily: "Even if Darko is willing to listen to you, I'm still worried that you will lead others into the ditch! At that time, Xiting will give you the help you need, what you have to do Just cheer Darko up."

Originally, Xu Hao planned to talk to Coach Hitting the next day, but he didn’t expect Hiting to come to him right after the training in the afternoon, and he said straight to the point: “As for how to help Milicic get back to his form, you Any good ideas?"

Xu Hao shrugged: "Coach, your experience is much richer than mine, shouldn't you ask me this question?"

Hitting glared at him: "I'm not sure if my method is easy to use. Your suggestion may provide new ideas. I know you were the most powerful point guard in the NCAA last season. As for how to cooperate with big men, you should It's a lot of experience."

Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say... Xu Hao thought for a while, and said: "I think Darko obviously doesn't have confidence in himself now, but for a player, it is difficult to build up confidence It’s also difficult, and it’s easy to say, as long as they can perform better than normal in the areas they are good at, such as letting him beat Howard..."

Xu Hao made a little joke. Howard is undoubtedly the number one center in the NBA when O'Neal is getting old and Yao Ming is plagued by injuries. What's more, he led the team to the finals last season. If Milicic wants to play To blast him, you first have to check to see if the sun rises from the west that day... But in general, there should be no problem with this line of thinking.

Hitting also nodded in agreement, letting Milicic kill opponents on the court and hit a double-double is undoubtedly the right way to wake him up, whether it is on the training ground or during the game.However, if it is during training, you can't just release water casually. As a player who entered the league in 2003 and has played for six seasons, these small tricks are easy to see through.

Nowadays, Milicic's ability to handle the ball on his own is almost negligible. Although he can use his size to post up under the basket, under normal circumstances, he will attract the defense and then pass the ball to the outside. This is a lack of confidence. Performance.After all, as long as a normal inside player has post-up skills, he will definitely like the feeling of crushing his opponent and scoring.

However, in Xu Hao's view, not having the ability to attack independently is not a big problem, as long as he can eat cakes.

The so-called pie, in simple terms, is to score a low-difficulty ball, just like the assister sends the ball to your mouth, you only need to open your mouth to eat it.The most common way for inside players to catch the ball and dunk is the most common way to eat cakes, and it doesn't seem to have much technical content. Xu Hao doesn't like it very much, but he also has to admit that this is indeed the most suitable way for inside players to eat cakes.

With Milicic's physical fitness, it's not a big problem to eat the pie after being pulled to a high screen, but Xu Hao hopes that he can make more contributions on the court. A simple pick-and-roll is undoubtedly a waste of talent. inside Europe.

On the issue of how to make Milicic eat cakes, Xu Hao and Hitting discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Hitting would go back to formulate tactics based on this idea, and then Xu Hao would implement it with Milicic during training.But before that, Xu Hao plans to talk to Milicic. Anyway, Hitting still needs some time to formulate tactics, and he also needs to discuss it with McHale. This kind of insider tactics can obviously be used by other Timberwolves insiders. body, not just Milicic.

Although both Love and Jefferson like to play singles in the interior with the ball, as long as they have the opportunity to score easily, they will not refuse.In this way, it is easy to eat cakes to score points, brush data and save energy, why not do it?

In order to be able to accurately grasp Milicic's situation, Xu Hao studied this taciturn big man in the system after returning home at night.In fact, Milicic's foundation is not bad. His strength, jumping, and moving speed are all good, and his skills are not bad. At least he has no problem becoming the team's backup center.

But the key lies in his mental attributes. If Milicic's hardware is passable, then his software is lackluster.The most important fighting spirit, determination and tenacity are terrible, and observation and analysis ability are also hard to see directly. This may be the fundamental reason why he can't always find his position when he moves tactically. His tactical quality is really bad.

This gave Xu Hao a headache. Milicic looked like he was going to break the can, which made him completely unmotivated to play on the court. It was flattering him to say that he was muddling along.Xu Hao is even glad that he has now become a silent guy, otherwise if he spreads negative energy in the locker room and on the bench all day long, the team will be messed up by him.

If this is the case, then the only option is to use the aggressive method. If Milicic still has a little self-esteem and shame in his heart, he may be able to struggle to get out of the current predicament.At that time, let him eat a few more cakes to brush up his poor data, and the team will be able to gain a qualified substitute insider, which sounds like a good deal.

Xu Hao is not good at talking, and he seldom talks trash on the court, but it is still OK to cook chicken soup.
