Chapter 134 Maddie's Team of 2!
Chapter 134 The Maddie Duo!
"Billy, can our team strengthen?"
The Nets management expressed support for all Wang Chao's ideas.
After all, Wang Chao is the cornerstone of the Nets' reconstruction. As long as it is a reasonable request, they will agree.
And they have already found a good candidate. Now the Pistons are packing up and trading McGrady and Ben Wallace. In addition, the Pistons are bound to win this year's draft. .
Although other teams also want to trade the McGrady duo, they are reluctant to take the first-round pick, just as the Nets are willing.
After all, no one knows if these two are back together...
With Wang Chao's Nets, although they are also eager for the No. [-] pick, the big sponsor of the Russian Bear Kingdom has given them an order to meet all Wang Chao's requirements, as long as they can be brought into the playoffs.
Some bigwigs from the Celestial Dynasty are already optimistic about this team, and it's time to take advantage of this good market to sell it.
The management of the Nets is also very powerful. After paying the first-round pick plus Ben Youzo, they got McGrady, Da Ben and some cash.
Early the next morning, Tracy McGrady and Big Ben came to the Nets training arena in New Jersey together with their agent.
Billy King personally received the two of McGrady and conducted a series of skill tests!
"How about it?"
While watching McGrady shoot three-pointers from different angles on the court, Billy asked the team coach Johnson beside him: "Johnson, McGrady's state should satisfy Wang."
"It's really good, and the attitude is also very positive, but the physical strength is not as good as before."
"We can adopt Wang's suggestion. Now we are still a long way from the salary cap."
The next day, New Jersey, the Nets' daily training arena.
The team's new aid McGrady came to the arena early.
As a new aid, he also wants to establish a good image for his future teammates.
But to McGrady's surprise, long before him, a young man had arrived at the scene and was doing three-point shooting training.
"Wang Chao?"
McGrady immediately recognized the young people who are popular all over the world this year: "You came so early?"
"I've only been here for a while."
Seeing McGrady approaching, Wang Chao stopped the three-point training and wiped off his sweat: "Welcome to the New Jersey Nets, Tracy."
The two chatted casually for a while, from naa's experience to some of McGrady's experience in nba.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Nets players arrived at the arena one after another.
Team coach Avery Johnson called the players together and explained the team's goals and tactical arrangements for the new season.
Although Johnson is a bad player, who doesn't want to be a champion coach, Johnson, who is now supported by the management, is also ready to do a big job.
"Wang, the core of the team's offense in the new season is you."
While Wang Chao was thinking, Nets coach Avery Johnson drew on the tactical board: "Remember, I will design a lot of pick-and-roll related tactics for you, the purpose is to create the best shot space for you."
Avery Johnson, nicknamed "Little General", has very mixed factions. He won the championship with the Spurs in his early years, and later served as an assistant coach for various teams.
"I also have an idea about pick-and-roll tactics."
When it came to tactical issues, Wang Chao also became interested and simply communicated with Avery.
After the first day of training, shooting training, layup training, and changing direction training, Wang Chao took a taxi back to the hotel.
I took a shower and watched the Nets' playbook and some videos.
Wang Chao found that there was no way to compare with the Zen master!
Zen master's tactical library is so rich, from iron-blooded play to running and bombing, he is proficient in everything, as long as it can be realized by using triangle tactics.
The Nets' offensive tactics are simple and brutal.
This does not require Wang Chao to spend too much time memorizing tactics, just a few routines, and he will quickly memorize them.
Of course, it's not that the Nets' tactics are not good. Wang Chao combined those tactics with the technical characteristics of the team's other starters, and felt that they couldn't be more suitable for the team.
Tactics don't have to be many, the best is the best.
Up to now, Wang Chao's heart has completely calmed down.
In the subsequent schedule, the Nets will face the Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, and Heat one after another. These four teams have the strength to compete for the championship.
The most important thing is Wang Chao, McGrady, and the first game after Daben was traded, its importance is self-evident.
The next opponents are the Nuggets and Clippers with distinctive team styles.
There is no doubt that the Nets are about to encounter a terrifying devil's schedule.
After a short training session, Wang Chao followed the team and arrived in San Antonio that afternoon.
San Antonio is located in the south-central part of Texas, USA. It is the second largest city in Texas and the home city of the Spurs, a traditional strong team in the NBA.
When I was still in the Lakers last time, all members of the GDP coach took turns, and they didn't have a good showdown with the Spurs.
On that day, Wang Chao was surrounded by several reporters before entering the Spurs home arena.
Having become famous as a rookie, he has obviously become resistant to this sudden high attention.
"Facing the seasoned Spurs, do you have the confidence to win tonight's game?"
The middle-aged reporter vigorously raised the wheat in his hand to Wang Chao's mouth.
"I don't know the result, but every game I will attack a hundred times."
Wang Chao replied solemnly with his hands on his hips.
"Regarding the last game, the fans saw many wonderful goals from you, so which one do you think is the most satisfying or favorite goal?"
"About favorite goal? I think it's always next."
Compared with the previous game, the Nets' starting lineup has made all changes.
Nets starters: Wang Chao, Jordan Farmar, McGrady, Damai James, Ben Wallace.
Spurs starters: French sports car Parker, George Hill, Bobby Simmons, Duncan, Matt Bonner.
The starting lineup of the Spurs is still unpredictable. Ginobili is ready to go off the court. Although he plays as the sixth man all the year round, no one knows that Manu Ginobili is the outside line of the Spurs. The core of the attack.
"George is very old, be careful, don't take advantage of him."
Before the start of the game, Da Ben specially reminded Wang Chao.
Wang Chao nodded. He felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and his whole body exuded the desire for the game.
In the past few days after being traded, due to the need for a medical examination and some chores, Wang Chao had a lot of extravagant tricks in his mind.
Today is the time to test their practicality.
The two sides of the jump ball are Big Ben and Duncan.
These are two low-key star players that are rare in the league.
As the referee throws the basketball into the air, the game officially begins!
Big Ben lost the jump ball to Duncan, and Tony Parker quickly ran to the landing point and took the basketball.
In the first round, the Spurs attacked.
Parker dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and lobbed the ball directly to Duncan who was already stuck in the interior.
Damai James gritted his teeth against Duncan's waist. On this night, the task assigned to him by the coach was to limit the number 8 of the Spurs, who was 21 centimeters taller than him, as much as possible.
"Beep!"
Within seconds of the opening, Duncan took advantage of his physical condition to cause a foul by Damai James.
Damai-James is strong and hard-working, and the average power forward in the defensive league may not fall behind, but tonight is facing Shifu Duncan who is at his peak!
From the beginning of the game, Damai James looked a little uncomfortable and his body looked extremely tense.
"Damay, do you want to give him back one?"
After Duncan made two free throws, Wang Chao deliberately walked behind Damai James and said.
Damai James' offensive ability is known to him, and Wang Chao deliberately made this joke to ease his tension in the face of Duncan.
Damai James' face turned black: "Single play Duncan? I don't want to be replaced at the beginning of the game. I will cover you later and you attack."
"make a deal!"
After the two finished a brief exchange, both ran to the frontcourt.
