NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 239
"The stability of catching and shooting is very good, and the shooting range is very long, which can open up the space."

"The shooting percentage is also very impressive. Near the three-point line, I can still make 6 of 4 shots."

"Well, his long two-point shooting rate this season is over 45%."

"The ability to independently attack is average, as expected."

"It doesn't matter, we don't need him to share the ball."

"The defensive end is also very good. I don't fall behind when facing Taylor. He can keep up with his footsteps and his wingspan takes advantage of him."

"Being able to execute the coach's tactics, force people into designated positions, and seek support from teammates."

"Yes, the Kings' internal defensive strength is average. If it were Yao, his role would be improved."

"My hand-to-hand combat ability inside is average, but my outside footwork is very flexible and not cumbersome."

Francis sat down next to Tomjanovich and could tell something was wrong as he listened.

Is this studying the opposing offensive players or studying our own players?
Could it be?

Francis looked at the field, and there was only one person who fit the description just described by the coaching staff, Geon Clark.

Francis considers himself the boss of the team. Since the coaching staff does not shy away from him, he also feels that it is time to express his opinion.

"I'm very active in pick-and-rolls, but the effect of pick-and-rolls is average."

"It relies more on the threat ability of the main teammate. If it is Bobby Jackson, or a player who is more aggressive than Bobby Jackson, such as me, I can make full use of his characteristics."

"The threat when broken up is good. He can attack the basket and shoot from the outside after being broken up."

"He has good vision after receiving the ball from the outside and can make great passes from the high post."

"Look! He played this ball directly to Pollard at the free throw line. If it was Yao who caught the ball, it would be easier and he could score the ball directly."

Tomjanovich glanced at Francis and nodded.

Francis does see more from a point guard perspective, and Clark does have something.

What neither Tomjanovich nor Francis knew was that Clark seemed to have a little bit of everything, but not much of anything.

In front of the poorly defended Rockets, he can naturally get whatever he wants.

But if he is in front of a strong defensive team, or in the playoffs where the competition is more intense, Clark will show his true colors and show the world what it means to be "good at everything, but bad at everything"!
However, this is obviously not an issue that the Rockets need to consider. The current salary structure within the team is extremely unreasonable, and there are also major problems with the personnel composition. Looking at the record in the first month of this year, it is estimated that there is no hope of making the playoffs.

The next main task is to level up Dayao.

It won't take two or three years for Dayao to become a feared super center in the league. At that time, it will be time for the Rockets to compete in the playoffs or even better.

Well, if you look at it from this perspective, Clark is more suitable.

Clark signed a 2+2 contract. If Clark is in trouble, the Rockets will not renew the contract at worst, but they will still have enough salary space for operations.

It is simply tailor-made for the rebuilding Rockets!
In his opinion, Clark is good everywhere, and he plans to give feedback to the management in this way, but the biggest problem is that the player the Kings want is Cato, an important substitute for Dayao.If the Kings want Taylor and Glenn Rice, Tomjanovich will definitely not hesitate and even urge the management to complete the transaction.

Even the old cat Mobley, Tomjanovich could send him away without any distress.

The old cat is really too short. The 193 cm offensive guard is not big enough and puts too much pressure on the team on the defensive end. It is better to send him away in exchange for an offensive guard with a better size.

It's just that the Kings definitely don't want Lao Mao. They have a lot of talents on the forward and defensive lines, and they also have Lu Yuanzhi, an all-around forward and guard swingman who can swing up and down. They definitely don't want Lao Mao, a second position who is not up to standard.

What Tomjanovich needs to consider now is whether Dayao's growth and development will be affected without Cato's protection.

Everyone knows that Dayao is growing, Dayao is playing better every game, and Cato will never have a chance to regain the starting position.

However, Dayao is not suitable for playing for too long during his development stage. A game of about 30 minutes is most suitable. So who needs to play for the remaining 18 minutes?

or?No need to worry about who will be the substitute or what the results are?

As long as Dayao is allowed to develop smoothly, it doesn't matter if he loses.

With Tomjanovich's status in the Houston Rockets, what if he loses a season?
He is different from most head coaches in the NBA. He has already created brilliance with the Rockets!

Tomjanovich has no record pressure at all!
After figuring this out, Tomjanovich no longer struggled and was ready to tell the management after the game that he was very satisfied with Clark and that he wanted this player. As for the specific details, let them talk about it themselves.

There was an episode in the middle of the game. Eddie Griffin, the Rockets' substitute and last year's Rookie of the Year second-team player, suddenly broke out. He shot from outside to inside and scored 13 points in a single quarter, including 4 of 3 three-pointers. .

Fortunately, the Kings' power forward on the court at this time was Chris Webber, not Clark, which scared Adelman into a cold sweat.

If Clark is defeated, they don't know whether this transaction will be affected.

But what the Kings coaching staff and management don't know is that the Rockets have long been disappointed with Griffin. This so-called second-year rookie in the best rookie second team has no brains at all.

In addition to mindlessly rushing to the basket, there is no outside basket at all.

That's right, Griffin didn't hit more than 30% of his mid-range and long-range shots most of the time, and his 4-for-3 three-pointers were even worse.

The Rockets are even planning to use the title of Best Rookie Second Team to get themselves some good bargaining chips after bringing in Clark, without others knowing the details of Griffin.

It's a game of intrigue. Either you lie to me today, or I'll lie to him tomorrow.

Do you really think that a certain player’s super junk contract is only related to the player?
The teams behind them are also indispensable to add fuel to the fire.

However, in this game, in order to give Clark a chance to perform well, the Kings' overall offense was very chaotic, and they unexpectedly lost to the weak Rockets 96:103 on the road.

Clark still had excellent statistics. He played 38 minutes, scored 25 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. He was the best player on the Kings.

Lu Yuanzhi also got 32 minutes of playing time because the score was not open, scoring 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 blocks, beating Thomas on both offense and defense.

However, because he lost the game and could not obtain free attributes, Lu Yuanzhi was a little disappointed.

But the good news is that even if you lose the game, the league statistics will still count.
