I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 42 The coach's admonition, Huo Song's team basketball (for collection, for further reading)
"Huo Song, you play really well, kid, I knew you could."

"As expected of my little brother, as expected of me helping him train every day! Without me, he would never be able to shoot that handsome Lamar Odom guy!"

"We finally have a big man who can do whatever he wants in the paint."

"Haha, Huo Song, take a rest!"

Within 3 minutes, Van Gundy played two consecutive timeouts, which can be said to be unprecedented.

As soon as Huo Song returned to the field, he was immediately surrounded by the main players of the team, and he became the favorite of everyone playing with him.

Hamilton and Billups looked at Huo Song with hopeful eyes, while Da Ben was full of achievements and complacent.

Even John Hammond, the temporary head coach, surrounded Huo Song, handing Huo Song a water bottle and a towel, and asking Huo Song how he felt about scoring consecutively.

Huo Song didn't say, "Can you get the hell out of here first?"

As a junior in the team, Huo Song could only stand and make people laugh.

Because if you sit on the bench, you will be ravaged by those teammates with bad habits.

Fortunately, as the highest point in the team, Huo Song won't have so many troubles of becoming stronger standing up.

"Huo Song, your performance exceeded my expectations. I knew you could play well, but I didn't expect you to be so good.

It turns out that your scoring performance in summer league, in the preseason, was not an accident.

You convinced me with your strength, and then I will give you more opportunities to perform. "

John Hammond made a promise in advance, saying that in the next regular season, he will continue to give Huo Song a lot of playing time and ball rights, so as to cultivate Huo Song and give full play to Huo Song's potential.

"But there are some things I want to tell you in advance.

We are a team that focuses on unity, and in this team, focusing on unity makes you stronger.

So, take the initiative to get involved, you are not alone!
Our goal is the same!There is no conflict between the championship and the cultivation of rookies!

We hope that you will become stronger together with the team, and your strength can help the team win better.

So, don't have any other thoughts, we love you, and we will respect you.

Communicate more with veterans in the team, and everyone will help you play better.

Just like the game just now, everyone is happy to pass you the ball and create opportunities for you.

However, for some difficult balls, you can pass them out to your teammates for handling.

They're all good players, and your big buddies are better at doing these jobs than you are. "

In recent years, John Hammond has seen too many rookies. In order to seize the opportunity, he played more impatiently and more independently.

In the beginning, the seniors in the team created opportunities for him and kept helping him, but in the end, because the rookie was too independent, no one liked such a rookie, and then the rookie couldn't grow to the height he should have.

John Hammond had analyzed Huo Song before, and felt that Huo Song didn't like passing the ball very much, so he simply regarded himself as an end point.

In fact, it is impossible to do this. As an inside player, especially an inside star, you still have to learn to pass the ball and learn to handle the ball better.

Even for super giants like O'Neal and Olajuwon, the passing data in the championship season is often higher than before the championship, averaging more than 3 per game.

And a super giant like Duncan who pays attention to the team and doesn't put on airs usually averages only 3 assists per game.

The Pistons' positioning for Huo Song is Olajuwon, O'Neal, and Duncan.

Even if the future Huo Song goes off track and is only good at offense but not defense, his ability to handle the ball still needs to be developed.

It is not too much to average [-] or [-] shots per game, and it is not too much to pass five or six balls, and three or four of them are converted into assist data.

This is a more reasonable way for inside stars to play.

As for Huo Song's current situation, when scoring crazy goals, the number of shots is more than 15 or even 20, but it is not necessarily 2 passes in a game.

The assist data is even more pitiful, and sometimes it is not there at all.

If things go on like this, teammates will feel uncomfortable, less and less want to pass the ball to Huo Song, and don't want to play with Huo Song.

John Hammond was worried that the stronger Huo Song would be, the more people would desert him, so he gave Huo Song a few words early, so that Huo Song could walk on the right path from the beginning.

Under the subtle influence of the basketball atmosphere of the Pistons team, even if Huo Song does not have team attributes, he will gradually be transformed into a real team and comprehensive inside star.

"Good Coach John, I'll pay attention." Huo Song didn't pass the ball to avoid mistakes.

Huo Song has watched so many games, he knows the way inside stars play, and knows that stars need to use their own influence to create opportunities for teammates around them.

Why are there so many CBA players in the NBA?To put it bluntly, it is because some stars do not have the attributes to lead the team.

A star with the ability to lead the team can make his teammates play better and better.

This is also the main reason why the stars of this era are not fond of group basketball.

Because they believe that if the team builds around them, they will be able to go through hardships, overcome all difficulties, and win the championship.

Instead of relying on star teammates, relying on excellent rotation players can crush opponents and win the championship.

Having said that, Huo Song didn't look for opportunities to create opportunities for his teammates before. The main reason is that Huo Song has too little possession of the ball, and he himself doesn't have enough.

In addition, the opponents I encountered did not have players who could restrain his size and style of play and could easily defend him.

That being the case, if he can attack and score, why pass the ball?
Isn't it better to get an assist if you are confident that you can score two points steadily?

Well, now that Larry Brown is sick, there is no need to worry too much about Huo Song's playing time and possession of the ball.

The Pistons haven't fully evolved to the point where they can beat the Lakers to win the F4 championship.

In order to achieve the achievement of the rookie championship, Huo Song also had to integrate into the team early to help the team become stronger.

After the timeout, Huo Song, who returned to the field, was not in a hurry to attack.

However, Huo Song is also self-indulgent.

Billups hasn't prepared to pass the ball to Huo Song for a while, so Huo Song created opportunities for the big Ben under the basket, or passed the ball to Hamilton who ran to the bottom corner.

Halfway through the second quarter, when Billups broke through the inside, he suddenly passed the ball to Huo Song.

Huo Song didn't think too much about it, and with muscle memory, he jumped to the basket directly.

Fortunately, no one was defending. Although it was not hollow, Huo Song still put the ball into the basket.

As for creating opportunities for other teammates, isn't Billups feeding the cake into his mouth?Can you still eat this?Huo Song felt that Billups' assists should not be wasted.

So, after the second quarter, Huo Song still had no assist data, but he had already scored 12 points.

Because the scoring indicators were almost used, Huo Song, who played for half a quarter in the third quarter, found a chance to hit the basket and pass the ball to Da Ben, and it was very difficult to get an assist data.

In the fourth quarter, because the Pistons led by a large score, the whole quarter was almost reduced to garbage time. John Hammond simply let the second team play against the Heat's starting lineup.

As the second team's scoring strength, Huo Song was not polite, relying entirely on the one-on-one skills he and Daben had honed day after day, he made 8 of 3 shots and 6 of 3 free throws, scoring 9 points.

也是因为第四节得分效率稍稍差了那么一些，霍嵩全场20投11中，罚球10投5中，仅仅拿下了27分11篮板1助攻1盖帽的数据。

If Huo Song hits one or two more goals in the fourth quarter, he can score an excellent stat of 30+10.

It's a pity that I played too hard in the second and third quarters. In the fourth quarter, my physical strength was limited, the mid-range shot was unstable, and I didn't have the strength to kill to the basket.

Some opportunities came out, but in the end they turned into causing damage, and they made one or two free throws.

When he lacks physical strength, he can't even shoot the simplest free throws well.

Although Huo Song helped the team win the game, as a rookie, a lot of problems were exposed after a regular season.

As the head coach, John Hammond didn't fail to see that Huo Song's team basketball was still at the level of his mouth.

However, the shortcomings do not hide the advantages, Huo Song's performance in the whole game is still excellent.

As a rookie, just train him slowly, since he is his own child, so don't worry too much.
