The yellow storm in the NBA

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Quan Xiao has been in the United States for two months. In the past two months, under the careful guidance of the coaching staff, Quan Xiao has made great progress in all aspects.

His body is stronger and more flexible, and his speed has also increased. The most important thing is that he knows how to use his body better. His back-up success rate is higher and he is more stable. This is the best proof. Now he has a winner in a duel with Durant.

Lost, instead of always losing like before.

Coach Barnes is both pleased and shocked by Quan Xiao's progress. What's gratifying is that Quan Xiao is indeed making progress and getting stronger every day under his guidance. What's shocking is that Quan Xiao's learning ability is so strong, and the extent of his progress

It also far exceeded my expectations.

He originally thought it would be great if Quan Xiao could reach the star level in college after the season, but he didn't expect that he could compete with Durant in just two months. This was shocking.

What surprised him even more was that Durant trained more actively and worked harder under the stimulation of Quan Xiao, and his natural strength improved even more. Based on the joining of these two powerful players, although the core of last season has left the team, he

I firmly believe that under the leadership of these two people, we may achieve better results than last season.

Because Quan Xiao joined the team unplanned and showed his strong strength, Coach Barnes also continued to revise his goals.

The first goal is to reach the national championship and try to break through the second round, which is the top 16. Don't think this result is not good. It is very good to achieve this result with the configuration of the team, even though it has the second high school in the United States.

With the addition of raw player Durant, the team still has a certain strength, but other teams are not bad either.

Then after watching the strength displayed by Quan Xiao and Durant in the duel, I felt that with these two people here, the top 8 can be imagined. But now two months later, looking at the performance of Durant and Quan Xiao

As the team progressed, Coach Barnes's heart began to stir. He felt that he must reach at least the top four, and his goal was the final championship trophy.

In mid-November, the NCAA regular season is about to start, and the team can finally organize training camps. Before that, Quan Xiao got to know the other members of the team one after another. Except for Durant, Quan Xiao was very familiar with everyone else.

I don’t know anything about it, even if I later joined NB

Augustine of A and Damai James.

Durant entered the league as a super rookie, and later became a superstar. As for the other people, as fans, they have no impression, so it can be seen that they are not doing well.

After nearly two weeks of training, Coach Barnes determined the team’s main lineup:

PG: DJ Augustine (14), 183cm, 84kg

SG: Quanxiao(10),199cm,99kg

SF: Kevin Durant (35), 205cm, 95Kg

PF: Damai James (5), 203cm, 103kg

C: Dexter Pittman (No. 34) 211cm, 129kg

In addition, there are several main rotation players: guard Jim, forward swingman Williams, forward Ali, and forward Powell.

Unless one of the remaining players is injured or suspended, or the score gap is huge, there will be almost no chance to play. After all, the strength is there, and Coach Barnes is aiming for the championship.

, I don’t dare to let these people mess up.

In view of the team's weak internal strength, Barnes decided on a tactical style that focuses on the outside. The inside focuses on defensive blocking and pick-and-rolls, trying to create gaps for the outside and give full play to the outside shooting advantage.

Quan Xiao and Durant can also cooperate in the pick-and-roll. With their height and vision, they can easily do it whether they take a shot after the pick-and-roll or pass to a teammate with a better opportunity. Once the cooperation between these two people

If you play it out, I believe most opponents will have a headache.

Of course, with Durant's current height and speed, he can create mismatch situations when facing most opponents. Because those who are taller than him may not be as fast as him, and those who are faster than him may not be as tall as him. In this way

This ensures that he has an absolute advantage when facing most opponents. And if double-teaming is implemented, Quan Xiao will use his shooting to tell his opponents what regret is.

As for DJ Augustin, who is in the ball-controlling position, although he is relatively short in height, he is fast, accurate in passing, has excellent shooting ability, and has above-average breakthrough ability. The most important thing is that he is a point guard.

, he does not lack

Cool head and confidence.

As a shooting guard, Quan Xiao's physical fitness ensures that he has the upper hand when facing most opponents. After all, the power forwards of many teams in college may not have his height and weight, and he can fully rely on strength to survive.

Most opponents.

What's more, he also has a precise three-point shooting. During a certain training, he once shot 187 consecutive shots, which shocked the coaches and teammates present at the time.

And at certain times, he can also be pushed inside to play power forward. Don't forget that he also has the ability to play with his back. After the guidance of the coaching staff, Quan Xiao, who has mastered the correct way to exert force, has been able to ensure

The success rate and stability of back-up shots have been improved.

It is precisely based on the super strength of this pair of twins that Barnes dared to set the flag to win the championship. No matter what happens, he can ensure that his team enters the top four!

However, Coach Barnes also discovered a problem that troubled him, that is, it seemed that any tactics could not fully bring out Durant's full strength, but would instead restrict him from displaying his talents, so he was also considering whether to give him

His greater freedom.

As for Quan Xiao, maybe it’s because he didn’t play enough games before. In the usual team practice matches, it can be seen that he doesn’t understand the game deeply enough. He relies more on his singles to solve opponents and lacks the ability to build a good relationship with his teammates.

cooperation.

In terms of defense, the individual defense is very good, but the awareness of assisting defense is relatively poor. These things may not have any impact when facing opponents who are worse than themselves, but they become fatal flaws when facing strong opponents. Fortunately, the

The more games there are, the greater the progress will be in this area.

At least in the recent practice matches, it can be felt that he has begun to consciously switch defenses with his teammates and help defend. Although it still has not achieved the expected results, it is at least much better than at the beginning. I believe that after playing more games for a period of time, this problem will be solved

It will be solved.

The regular season is about to begin next. This season, the Longhorns’ strongest opponent in the Big 12 Conference is Kansas. The first task this season is to break out of the league with better results and strive for a higher seed.

Participating in the final national championship as a team will help the team go further.
