Junior Basketball says

Chapter 355
After the training, McHale specially called Xu Hao to the office. He hoped to hear Ai Jiang's opinion on partnering with Rubio in the backcourt. If Xu Hao himself didn't mind turning off the ball completely, then he had nothing to say.

But how could Xu Hao give up fighting for the ball?He thought for a while and said lightly: "As far as I am concerned, it is not difficult to play without the ball most of the time, but I don't think I can give full play to my advantages."

Speaking of which, Xu Hao decided to make some serious news: "Speaking of which, I have been practicing the crotch change dribble of 'Penny' for the past two months, and I have gained a lot. If I can't use it on the field, I think it's a pity..."

What? "Penny"'s crotch changing direction?McHale's eyes lit up immediately. He had seen Hardaway's unrestrained but unpredictable dribbling in his peak period. If Xu Hao had really begun to master Hardaway's technique as he said, So it's really a waste of talent to only let him play off the ball, he should have picked it up on his own.

McHale no longer hesitated. He smiled and said to Xu Hao: "Chris, if that's the case, then I think you can communicate with Rubio privately to see if you can find a compromise. I'll first To give you a thorough explanation, although Rubio is a great passer, his shooting skills are average, so you have to think of this detail when considering it."

Xu Hao said helplessly: "Coach, how to balance the relationship between us is your job, right?"

However, McHale completely ignored his complaints, and said with a smile: "As a group, you must communicate more outside the field. It's not appropriate for me to force you to give orders. I hope you are not only partners on the field, but more A friend off the court, only in this way can we give full play to the strengths of the team, and I believe you can handle him."

Why does that sentence sound so weird?Xu Hao slandered, and accepted the task with a heartless heart.He knew that McHale was also doing it for his own good. If he could get along well with Rubio, their combination would definitely have the effect of 1+1>2. pitted...

The second day of the training camp is still time for the players to get familiar with each other's style of play. Although Xu Hao still plays his off-ball running position, he is also observing the performance of several new teammates.Compared with Sessions, Barea is one size smaller, but he is fearless on the court, often driving the ball to the basket and challenging the much taller post players.Moreover, Barea is not tall, but has a good view of the court, and can often send assists to his teammates. It is completely worthy of being the team's backup point guard.

As for Wesley Johnson, he actually followed the same path as Ellington, but his shooting is not as accurate as Ellington. Generally, he has more presence on the defensive end, and most of his offense relies on empty space without the ball. Cut the layup.Compared with Brewer, who has left the team, it can only be said that they have their own merits, but this may also be the reason why McHale asked Ellington to play as a substitute.

The afternoon training ended on time at 05:30. Many players were exhausted and collapsed on the ground. They had never seen such a high-intensity team training. It seemed that everyone regarded each other as opponents on the field. Attack when you need to attack, defend when you need to defend, physical confrontation is simply commonplace, no wonder they can't adapt for a while.

The only one in the team who expressed calmness was Xu Hao. When the others couldn't wait to lie on the ground, he leisurely picked up a basketball and started practicing three-pointers as usual.Rubio on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had admired Xu Hao's shooting before, but he didn't expect that he would need to practice more to reach such a level.

But what made Rubio even more unexpected was that Xu Haojia walked over directly after practicing the three-pointer and said to him in a very relaxed tone: "I heard that there is a Chinese restaurant near the arena. If you have nothing to do tonight, how about it?" Let's try it together?"

Eh?Rubio looked confused, brother, do I know you so well?Although we are not in the same position, we are still competitors, right?So what is this meal?showdown?And having said that, don't speak in such a very familiar tone!It's as if the two of us are good friends who have known each other for more than 20 or [-] years, but the key is that we really don't know each other well!
Tucao return to Tucao, Rubio hesitated to accept Xu Hao's invitation.Although he is proud, he is not stupid. Xu Hao is obviously the outside core of the Timberwolves before. If he wants to get along here, it is necessary to have a good relationship with him.

That night, two people sat around a small table, their eyes fixed on the steaming... hot pot on the table!Well, Xu Hao said that he didn't know this was a hot pot restaurant, so he simply invited his Spanish friends to try it together.

In the dense water vapor, no one spoke, they all stared wide-eyed and searched hard for the ingredients they wanted to eat in the soup.Rubio was surprisingly familiar with the way of using chopsticks. According to him, he was influenced by a friend of his who is passionate about Chinese culture. Xu Hao can only say: God knows if your reason is just a temporary idea. from……

After drinking and eating, neither of them got up. Rubio knew that this would not be an ordinary dinner, so he sat there quietly and waited for Xu Hao to speak. Know what to say.

Xu Hao was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Did you always play like this when you were in Barcelona?"

Rubio nodded: "I am the core of the team's tactics, and everyone has confidence in my ability to handle the ball."

Xu Hao rubbed his chin and said slowly, "Have you considered changing your style of play? For example, like me, playing a combo guard who can control the ball and make shots. I think you have Don't let this talent go to waste."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Rubio's face: "But my shooting skills are not very good!"

"Shooting can be practiced. Whether it is the timing of the jump, the arc of the shot or the shape of the hand, as long as you go through long-term training, you can always get good results. If you are only worried about your shooting, then there is no need. The first day I met I said at the time that everyone is treated equally here. What I really mean is that you don’t think that the Timberwolves are your team. Everyone here has their own strengths. Controlling the ball is just a means, not our ultimate goal. .”

Rubio's face changed for a while, and he let out a sigh of relief: "I'll go back and think about it first!"
