Don't worry, I'll find a way to finish it.
People have to bow their heads under the roof. The system is Xu Xin's biggest reliance now. Although he can predict who is a malleable talent by opening his eyes, without the help of the system, those potential new stars will never be able to grow like this. So fast.
Harden is like this, and Butler is also like this. It is difficult to cultivate a star according to normal methods.
They need to be given a lot of the ball, they need to tailor a tactical system that best suits them, and they need to find the most suitable teammates for them. . .
Besides, among the young people in China, are there any who can grow to the heights of Yao Ming without taking the wild path of improving the system's potential?
The answer is obvious. Let alone Yao Ming, no one can reach the level of Yi Jianlian!
Xu Xin was quite emotional!
I remember that 23 years before he traveled back in time, when Yi Jianlian retired, a netizen drew a cartoon.
Yao Ming retired in 2011. Looking back, standing behind him were Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, and Zhu Fangyu.
When Yi Jianlian retires 12 years later, who will be standing behind him? It can be said that there is no one behind you!
Ah Lian, you have no successor. What a tragedy.
Xu Xin shook his head, made a sharp turn, changed the route, and drove towards the team headquarters.
This is also the reason why Xu Xin will appear in the training hall when it is almost early in the morning.
After checking the information for a long time, there was still no suitable candidate. Xu Xin had a headache. The conditions for this limited time task issued by the system were a bit too harsh.
There are many players like this who have no contract and have not retired yet. They are idle at home waiting for calls from various teams in the league.
But once they were the league's top stars, this one filtered out the vast majority. Top stars who don't have contracts have basically retired.
Xu Xin rummaged through the talent database but couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Forget it, there is no need to rush this matter, just take your time.
Xu Xin comforted himself by talking to himself, but the work on his hands never stopped.
Until late at night, he lay in front of the computer and fell asleep.
Another night without a bed.
. . .
On the night of January 1st, the first battle after the New Year came as scheduled.
The fans were very supportive, and the venue was packed. Some held signs to call out the Rockets star players, some wore Harden’s iconic fake beards, and some wore Butler’s exclusive headband. The atmosphere was very hot, which in Houston It's not common to see an arena.
Jeremy Lin was warming up on the court and had a very eye-catching new haircut.
Harden came over and took a look.
"You have real hair!"
"Of course it's true. Don't mess up my hair. I sprayed a lot of hairspray on it!"
Jeremy Lin said stinkingly.
"Tch, my beard is still handsome."
Harden rolled his eyes at Jeremy Lin. Their relationship is getting better and better now, and they joke with each other very casually.
For the Eagles, "Eagle King" Josh Smith and Jeff Teague practiced pick-and-roll cooperation.
Smith has become humble. From going his own way at the beginning of the season, he is now integrating into the entire team bit by bit.
What followed was that the team's record got better and better.
After a five-game winning streak, they have quietly risen to fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 16 wins and 12 losses, only one win away from the fourth-place Knicks.
As for the Rockets, they have been in good shape recently. They have won three consecutive away games, with a record of 20 wins and 8 losses. They are still ranked third in the Western Conference, one win away from the second-placed Spurs in the Western Conference.
The starting lineups of both sides have changed a lot from the first meeting at the beginning of the season.
Needless to say about the Rockets, in less than two months since the start of the season, Xu Xin has made transactions one after another.
During the battle with the Hawks, starting power forward Patrick Patterson and small forward Marcus Morris, including Motiejunas, Terrence Jones and Chandler Parsons in the rotation, all Leave the team.
Replaced by Butler, Garnett, Tucker, Ariza, Livingston, and O'Neal.
Since Garnett was injured in training, the Rockets' current starting lineup is Harden, Jeremy Lin, Butler, Tucker and Asik.
The Hawks also had transactions. They decided to strengthen young guard Jeff Teague, sent away All-Star guard Devin Harris, and acquired "AK47" Andrei Kirilenko and an unknown player from the Timberwolves. The protected first-round pick strengthens the team's forward line.
The team's starting lineup became Teague, Korver, Kirilenko, Smith and Horford.
Apart from Teague, the current lineup has no weak links on the defensive end.
Yes, although Korver is a hundred-man player, his defensive ability is not weak at all, and he has been consistently above the league average all year round.
Xu Xin came to his familiar box, ate popcorn and watched the game. He felt very comfortable. He still had no clue about the tasks assigned by the system. Fortunately, there was still a month and a half left, so he was not in a hurry.
On the field, as the referee blew his whistle, the game began.
Asik once again won the jump ball with Horford, and Jeremy Lin got the ball and launched the first attack.
Jeremy Lin faced Teague's defense. He played very proactively at first. He changed his body and passed him, broke into the penalty area, faced Horford's defense, and chose to throw. His shot was very smooth, and the basketball passed Horford. His fingertips rotated and flew into the basket.
2:0.
Head coach McHale stood on the sidelines and nodded with satisfaction. Jeremy Lin's increased personal offense was a tactic formulated before the team game.
The worst defensive aspect of the Eagles' starting five is Teague. Teague happens to be the engine of the Eagles' offense.
Therefore, Jeremy Lin playing Teague more will be of great help to the team both on the offensive and defensive ends.
Of course, the premise is that Jeremy Lin scores.
In the Eagles' offensive round, Teague dribbled forward, and Jeremy Lin led the defense for the whole court, preventing him from having a comfortable dribbling rhythm.
Teague is not as good as Shuhao in both static and dynamic talents. Shuhao's full-court defense puts a lot of pressure on him.
After stumbling through halftime, the referee was holding on to time and was about to call an 8-second violation.
Upon seeing this, Kirilenko quickly came over to ask for the ball. This is also the Eagle's fixed tactic.
When Teague is in trouble, Kirilenko is the starting point for the team's offense.
Butler stepped forward to interfere, but Kirilenko was tall and had long arms. Butler's interference with the ball was limited, so he withstood Kirilenko's kick, waiting with all his attention for the moment he dropped the ball, and gave him a knife.
Kirilenko is also a veteran on the battlefield. He observes the defensive position, reads the defense, and understands Butler's calculations.
Use your body advantage to protect the basketball and place it firmly above your head.
