Chapter 178 Seducing teammates

After McDyess was bought out by the Nuggets, many strong teams including the Celtics, Rockets, Cavaliers and Spurs expressed interest in him. There was also news that the Pistons were interested in signing McDyess back to the Motor City.

(Read the full text of Tianya Ji).

Considering that it has been twenty days since McDyess became a complete free agent, the last news is still very credible, but on the first day of December, there is a new direction for this powerful power forward.

Progress.

The first person to expose the news was the Houston Chronicle. Columnist Jonathan Forgan wrote in his column, "Antonio McDyess and the Rockets are infinitely close" (read the full text of "Carry the Beast").

Shortly afterwards, McDyess's agent came forward to confirm the news. McDyess was interested in joining the Rockets. Before McDyess joined the Pistons and won the championship, the Rockets had pursued McDyess, but at that time McDyess disliked the Rockets' lack of strength.

, committed to the Detroit Pistons.

The Rockets are completely different now. In the past few years, the Rockets have been one of the top eight in the Western Conference. After the introduction of Artest this year, the team's strength has been further improved. Antonio McDyess's view may have changed as a result.

.Although I don’t know what actions Rockets general manager Daryl Murray made later, the news that Antonio McDyess joined the Rockets seems to be true.

After Chris Mullin got the news, he also set his sights on the Houston Rockets and signed McDyess. There is also news that the Rockets' old player, the famous shot-blocking king Dikembe Mutombo, will return to the Rockets.

.In this way, the Rockets have Yao Ming, Dikembe Mutombo, Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola, Anthony McDyess, Carl Landry, Joey Do

West.

Especially at the power forward position, they have Scola, McDyess, Landry, Hayes, Dorsey, and Chris Mullin keenly discovered the opportunity. He felt that he should be able to use the Rockets' power forward.

One of his targets was Carl Landry, who performed very well last season.

As a second-round pick, Carl Landry performed very well last year, but after acquiring Yao Ming and Luis Scola, he did not have a starting position. This summer, the Rockets claimed that Landry was a must-have for them.

After the Bobcats made a three-year offer of 9 million, the Rockets chose to match it without hesitation.

But that was the summer, and it's different now. After McDyess came, Landry's position will inevitably be affected, and the Rockets will not be as tough as they were in the summer. The key issue now is, Chris -

Can Mullin provide conditions that would tempt Rockets general manager Daryl Morey?

The Warriors are interested in Landry. This news immediately attracted the attention of many people as soon as it was exposed. And who paid the most attention? There is no doubt that it is Chinese fans!

Yang Shuai's Warriors actually wanted to poach players from Yao Ming's Rockets. How could this not attract the attention of Chinese fans (read the full text of Tiger God from Another World).

There are many people who support this and many people who are against it, but the vast majority of Chinese fans still very much agree with this newly rumored deal. The Rockets have McDyess to strengthen their inside strength, and the Warriors now have another

There is a serious shortage of power forwards. Landry has good strength and can even start in the Warriors. Is there anything more suitable than this?

Chris Mullin officially proposed a trade to the Rockets, and the bargaining chip proposed by the Warriors was Kolonna Azubuike. Azubuike performed quite well this season. As Jackson's substitute, he was often pushed to the point guard position by Nelson.

, especially before Hinrich came, he played more minutes than CJ Watling. The data was also very good, averaging 12.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 43.6%.

The Rockets are indeed encountering some trouble on the outside. Tracy McGrady is injured, and Brent Barry is also injured. McGrady's return time is basically determined, but Brent Barry is not. As a result, at the shooting guard position, they need

A stable substitute. Azubuike is indeed very useful to the Rockets. His breakthrough ability is quite good and he can play from one to three positions. Another very important thing is that he has a very good fixed-point three-point ability.

The Rockets have not responded yet, but the Warriors have a game first, facing the Heat at home.

The team led by Flash Wade still hasn't had a good start this year, but with a super scorer like Wade who can single-handedly change the direction of the game, the Heat's strength should not be underestimated.

For example, in this game at their home court, the Warriors almost lost to Wade alone, with 40 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds. With Wade's perfect performance, the Heat led the Heat from Oracle Arena 112:106.

Walked away victorious.

In this game, Yang Shuai's performance was slightly sluggish. On the one hand, there were indeed some problems with his state, and on the other hand, Shawn Marion's defense was also a very important reason.

At the end of the game, Yang Shuai only scored 15 points and 5 rebounds, but he sent out as many as 8 assists. In total, the overall performance cannot be said to be too bad, but when thinking of Wade's super statistics, Yang Shuai's performance is a bit disappointing.

Warriors fans are disappointed (Read the full text of "The Cultivator in the End of the World").

In this game, Wade's touch was so hot that he hit 15 shots in only 20 attempts. Whether it was a forced layup after a breakthrough or a mid-range pull-up jump shot, his shooting percentage was astonishingly high.

After the game against the Heat, the Warriors players finally had a rare opportunity to rest. They had no games for four days, and their next opponent was very interesting, the Houston Rockets.

The topic of the Chinese Derby can be used for hype again, and an incident closely related to these two teams is attracting more and more attention.

McDyess has officially joined the Rockets. Next, it depends on whether Rockets general manager Daryl Morey can accept the Warriors' conditions for Landry to come to Oakland from Houston.

The day after the Heat game, news finally came from Houston. Murray agreed to send Landry to the Warriors, but did not accept the direct exchange for Azubuike. He added another one in the middle.

Conditions include exchanging the Rockets' 2010 second-round pick for the Warriors' 2009 second-round pick.

Considering that 2009 may be the big draft year in recent years, it is understandable that Murray made a shrewd calculation. However, Chris Mullin did not refuse his conditions, so the deal is officially concluded.

, the next step is to apply for alliance approval and physical examination and other procedures.

Because both of them signed new three-year, 9 million contracts this summer, and their salaries are completely equal, it is certainly impossible for the league to veto this trade.

After coming to the Warriors, the team has changed more frequently, which is completely different from the Celtics. However, after all, handsome young man Yang has been a professional player for more than a year, so he knows that such changes are very normal.

It will take time for new teammates to join, and there has been no competition in the past two days. On the one hand, he has strengthened training to regain his feeling. On the other hand, handsome young man Yang also decided to find something else to do.

"Hey, Yang! Why did you bring me here so early?" Biedlins was very surprised that Yang Shuai called out to him in a hurry. It was even more strange when Yang Shuai came here, because the place they came from was obviously

A screening room where the team watches game tapes (Infinite Desire).

Yang Shuai chuckled, pushed Biedlins down and sat on his seat, saying, "Andris, don't worry, you will know next."

Biedlins had no choice but to sit there, waiting to see what Yang Shuai was going to do. At this time, Yang Shuai, who was messing around in front, had already stepped aside, and a scene appeared on the screen that made Biedlins feel a little familiar.

.

"This is our game against the Celtics." Yang Shuai reminded from the side, and Biedrins also noticed what was on the screen. There were 40 seconds left in the game, 94:96, and the Warriors were 2 points behind. Kirk -

Hinrich took the serve at halftime and handed it to Yang Shuai.

Biedrins discovered his figure, and he stepped forward to help Yang Shuai in the pick-and-roll, and then Yang Shuai successfully broke through.

Garnett stayed close to Yang Shuai's side, Pierce also chased after him, and Biedrins himself ran quickly to cut to the basket, and then received Yang Shuai's pass.

What followed was a scene that Biedrins was familiar with. When he received the pass and strode towards the basket to jump for a dunk, Garnett rushed over and blocked him from the side. The Warriors lost the tie.

Chance to score.

"Andris, if your ball hadn't been blocked, the result of the game might have been different." After hearing Yang Shuai's words, Biedrins hadn't spoken yet, and the screen flashed and cut to another picture.

Biedrins took a careful look and found that this was the game against the Cavaliers a few days ago. At this time, it was 117:113, and his team was leading by 4 points. James broke through with the ball, and he indeed rushed in and turned around.

Yang Shuai was preparing for a layup, but at this time Brandon Wright rushed over and blocked the ball.

Seeing this, Biedrins probably knew what Yang Shuai wanted to say, because Yang Shuai had talked to him a lot about defense recently.

Yang Shuai's preparation seems to be very complete. These two shots are scenes that Biedrins is very familiar with. The scenes then switch constantly. Without exception, they are all shots of relying on defense to win at critical moments. Some of them are

Yang Shuai’s video with the Celtics last season (read the full text of The Demon King Reappears).

"Okay, Yang, you want to talk to me about defense, right?" Finally, after all the things were put away, Biedrins opened his hands and asked Yang Shuai.

Yang Shuai nodded and said: "Yes, Andris, you can see that it is not only offense that can help the team win. Defense sometimes helps the team more, and sometimes the team needs

It’s just defense.”

"I understand." Biedrins nodded, "But..."

"Andris, why don't you give it a try?" Yang Shuai interrupted Biedlins and then looked directly into his eyes.

Biedrins pondered for a long time, and Yang Shuai did not interrupt him. He recently talked to Biedlins a lot about defensive issues, and the Warriors have recently been playing against their opponents at critical moments one after another. At this time, the value of defense can best be demonstrated.

That's why Yang Shuai found this time to talk to Biedlins about this.

"Okay, Yang, I think I can give it a try. After all, it won't do me any harm. However, you are an outside player. Are you sure you know the defensive skills inside?" Biedrins shrugged.

Yang Shuai laughed loudly, "Andris, don't underestimate me. Also, one day, you will thank me, and you will also understand how correct this decision you made was."

Biedrins nodded and said: "Maybe, but Yang, I really don't understand why you are so active in doing all this. The coach never needs us to practice defense, but I actually want to practice with you, God,

This is really weird."

Yang Shuai smiled and said nothing. If Biedlins agreed to try his goal, it would be temporarily accomplished. Next, as long as Biedlins' defense is improved and he tastes the changes brought by defense, don't worry.

Delins' attitude towards defense will naturally change. Handsome guy Yang was not completely sure about all this, but he decided to give it a try, and he suddenly discovered that doing so was actually very fun. Well, teaching others to defend, this

But for what the coach does, I can be considered half a coach.
