NBA: Three anti-heavenly skills in the opening game

Chapter 15: Old School Coach Train! (Collect!) ）

The veteran powerhouse Spurs was a call from Budenholzer, the principal assistant coach under Po 1 Povic, who was the mentor of the later Alphabet brother.

They love international players as much as the Lone Ranger.

The team that knows how to Taobao in history really won’t miss any good players, and the conditions they give make Jiang Lin frightened.

Coach Budenholzer directly gave a one-year rookie base salary contract, which is the same contract as Kawhi Leonard, except that Leonard directly signed a 4-year rookie contract.

The Spurs’ vision is still vicious, they only believe in the performance of the NBA, and analyzed all the goals Jiang Lin scored that night, 100% shooting percentage, and the ability to assist decisively, which is the foundation of team basketball, individual + team spirit.

As for shooting and tactics ?? They have Chip, the world’s top shooting coach, and Zhuge Vicki’s head coach, who has the most tactics, and will definitely make him improve quickly.

Therefore, after deliberating, Po 1 Povic’s coaching staff decided to make Jiang Lin the X-factor in the Spurs’ team, that is, to fill the vacancy later in case the main player was injured.

Budenholzer arranged Jiang Lin’s role, the Spurs now have too many shooters in PG, and the breakthrough player is only Parker, which is definitely not good, all tactics are inseparable from sudden points, and the key to signing Jiang Lin is to look at his breakthrough scoring ability.

Having said that, Jiang Lin understood very simply: in case Parker and Manu were injured and needed to put out the fire, just like Parker played directly in the playoffs in his rookie season that year, the Spurs will always be prepared.

But!!

Here comes the key!

Jiang Lin also knows how old Popovich is, and from this period, basically all Spurs newcomers will watch and learn from the Spurs bench for a year, even if you play garbage time well, you will never enter the starting lineup in the first season.

After he threw this question to Budenholzer, he was visibly stunned… Then I could only say yes.

Indeed, except in exceptional circumstances, the Spurs will not pull a lost international player directly into the rotation.

“I’m sorry… I’ll think about it again, and thank you for trusting me. Jiang Lin hung up the phone a little embarrassed.

To be honest, the Spurs are the only team that has directly appreciated his skills so far and are very impressed with his abilities.

If this is a weak team, he will definitely sign, but Jiang Lin is the kind of player who is not eaten by the Spurs, it is not interesting to rub the championship with the Spurs, the Spurs are too strong in recent years, he still hopes that he can also contribute to the team, not stained with GDP.

But speaking of Budenholzer….

Do you want to go to the Bucks in the post-Yi Jianlian era to break in?? Accept the alphabet brother as a junior brother next year?

Jiang Lin thought about the conditions of the other teams.

The Rockets and Jazz are two-way contracts, the kind that go both the development league and the NBA and need to buy a bus card.

A total of 4 teams sent contract invitations, all of which directly asked him not to have a trial in the past, which made Jiang Lin strange that the heat that threw an olive branch to him was silent, and the Knicks, who were very vocal among netizens, would not find a yellow defender because of the existence of Jeremy Lin.

Don’t look at only 4 teams to Jiang Lin, if this is known by the media, there will definitely be more teams to find it, don’t you see what kind of team this is? are all playoff-level strong teams, especially the players the Spurs are looking for, that is basically every team will come to make a price, do not want the Spurs to find treasure again.

However, Jiang Lin is very entangled, if the Spurs’ conditions are used on the Jazz or Mavericks, but step by step, he said and picked up his mobile phone to check the lineups of these two teams.

He is not a saint, basketball is a team game, teammates can not be too stretched, Thackeray must not have.

Just then, another call came in, and the caller ID was Memphis, Tennessee.

As soon as he answered the phone, a low, somewhat angry voice came: “Hello? Is it JIANG? ”

“Yes, may I ask you?” Jiang Lin slowed down his running speed, and this deep voice knew that he was a tall man when he heard it.

“I’m Lionel Hollins.”

Train!

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized who this was, this is a 1977 Blazers champion member, an All-Star-level guard, a historical point guard who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team in a row, nicknamed Train, and is now the head coach of the Grizzlies.

As the so-called point guard cherishes point guard, could it be that the Grizzly Iron Army wants to recruit me?

It turns out that he seems to think too much.

“Hello coach, I’m Jiang Lin!”

“Did we watch last night?”

“Ahhh… That, haven’t seen it yet. ”

“Read it first, then call me.”

“Okay.”

Lionel Hollings’s fierce feeling has a taste, and it’s no wonder that the Grizzlies he coached have always been known for defending the iron army, and until now the Grizzlies are known for being tough, which is the impression that Hollins brought to everyone.

After answering the phone, Jiang Lin immediately found a lounge and quietly watched the replay of last night’s game for about 1 hour.

Last night, the Grizzlies lost 78:91 to the Dallas Mavericks, ushering in a six-game losing streak… It was a grizzly score, and this losing streak was a bit miserable.

The Grizzlies are now 4-9 and 12th in the West.

To be honest, as far as the configuration of grizzly bears is concerned, it shouldn’t be.

Then Jiang Lin checked the data again in combination with last night’s playback, and found a problem at once.

Even with a six-game losing streak, the Grizzlies still limit each game to 100 points, but sadly their own score is within 93 points.

This scoring efficiency is a little too low in this era, obviously the offense is not good, and the defense is strong to burst.

So far, the Grizzlies have the league in defensive efficiency limiting opponents to scoring points per game, and the lowest in offensive efficiency.

He seemed to understand Coach Lionel Hollins’ intention to call him.

Jiang Lin called back after reading it, and said straight to the point that the Grizzlies now have no player averaging 20 points per game from starter to bench, which is enough to reflect the problem, the offense pulls across.

Then Lionel Hollins was more direct: “I heard that your personal offensive ability exploded, is it true?” ”

“It’s true.”

“Then we need you, would you like to give it a try?”

“How to try?”

“Tomorrow at 2 p.m. at FedEx Center Arena for trial training, it’s not too late.” The old-school coach has an unquestionable tone and is the same as the style he played at the time, tough!

Jiang Linjia asked: “I just want to guarantee the contract.” ”

“Of course!”

“No problem!!!” Jiang Lin nodded emphatically.

Coach Lionel Hollins hung up the phone, looked at the tactical board with bloodshot eyes, and sighed slightly: “Mustache, I hope your suggestion is not wrong…”
