genius point guard

Chapter 60
On November 11, the day after the Bobcats defeated the Pistons, a press conference was held for Jerry Sloan to take over as Charlotte.

Chen Mo later found out that Sloan got in touch with Michael Jordan when he saw that Larry Brown didn't show up in the second half. After communicating on the phone, he and Stockton took a chartered flight from Salt Lake City to Charlotte. .

Sloan is still not reconciled to retiring like this, he wants to make a final fight for the championship.

After analyzing the other 29 teams in the league, there are only a few capable of winning the championship.

The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, the comeback Boston Celtics, the fledgling Oklahoma City Thunder and the Big Three in Miami this summer.Maybe there are also the old strong teams in the West, the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs.As for other teams, such as the Orlando Magic, Sloan doesn't think they can win the championship.Their strength is a bit worse, and they did not show the temperament of champions.

Those few teams that are expected to win the championship do not lack head coaches.Those who almost won the championship can't be solved by changing the coach.

In Sloan's view, perhaps choosing Charlotte is the most suitable place for him to launch his final charge to the championship.Because there is vitality here, and there are no junk contracts. When Chen Mo shows enough strength, it is enough to attract stars to join, and then launch an impact on the championship.In just one or two seasons, the Bobcats will be able to produce results.

Everyone is happy if they win the championship. If they don't win the championship, Sloan will retire completely.Anyway, this is the old man's last fight. In a short time, he really has no other better choice except Charlotte.

However, Sloan's announcement of coaching the Charlotte Bobcats caused an uproar. No one could have imagined that so many stories had happened in just a few days around the small city of Charlotte.

The reality is enough to record the internal strife and the battle of forcing the palace, followed by the legendary coach Larry Brown announcing his resignation, and then another legendary coach took over Charlotte.It seems that everything is a well-arranged script, one after another without letting people stop at all.

The successive ending and appearance of these two coaches made Chen Mo's explosive performance against the Pistons less popular.

Of course, in far away China.Many people are still paying attention to Chen Mo's news.

The data of 39 points and 12 assists is enough to make Chen Mi, who is far away in China, excited.

Now in Shipu, there are plenty of provocateurs, but under the current situation, those sunspots no longer have the same arrogance as before.It's just that Chen Mo didn't know anything about what happened in China.At this point, the press conference for Jerry Sloan's appointment is over.Sloan was having lunch with Chen Mo, Jordan and Stockton.

The topic of the few of them together is naturally inseparable from basketball.Sitting and eating with these NBA seniors, Chen Mo seemed more relaxed, but they were just chatting during the meal, and Michael Jordan would never let Chen Mo know about the real team decision-making during the discussion stage.What's more, Stockton is still sitting aside!
"What do you think about getting those old guys from Detroit over? While increasing the depth of the lineup, it also adds a lot of experience to us." Jordan took a bite of steak, wiped his mouth with a wet towel, and said half-jokingly.

"I think Tres and Ben are good. Judging from their game attitude yesterday, they may be able to play a miracle at the critical moment." Chen Mo said while playing with the fork in his hand.

"Are you serious?" Jordan said in surprise, he was purely joking just now.

"If Rashid can come back, I think it's okay. Although the two Wallaces are old, I think they can still fight. Look at Rashid's performance in the finals, playing Paul (Pau Gasol) with his back ) were pretty good. Although he is not good at defense and is prone to fouls, he can be regarded as a supplement to our inside offense. Now our inside and low-post offense are almost blank.”

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Jerry hasn't spoken yet, you are more like a head coach." Jordan waved his hand to tell Chen Mo not to continue this topic.Originally, he was just joking, but he didn't know that Chen Mo was still excited when he said it.

But what Chen Mo said, Jordan thought it was okay. Anyway, he won't be able to get any heavyweight stars this season. If he gets these old guys, he might be able to improve his record!After this season's performance, the summer will have the capital to recruit bigger stars. The team may really have a chance to hit the championship!

"By the way, John, you have to have a good chat with Jack. You teach him some experience, but don't hand over your dirty things to him. I don't want Jack to become a player like you." Jordan nodded Cigar went for a walk in the garden with Jerry Sloan.

This is the first time Chen Mo communicated with a legendary point guard in the league. Stockton is also thin, but he has been selected to the best defensive team many times.

Stockton gave Chen Mo the impression that he was low-key and restrained.Such a person who is even somewhat gentle, it is difficult for you to equate him with the "dirtiest player in the league" in Jordan's mouth.

"I'm much different from the Stockton you imagined?" Stockton said first.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I never thought you would be so polite, like a gentleman."

"What impression do I make on you?"

"Dirty!" Chen Mo's answer was simple and direct.

"It was on the court, just for the win," Stockton laughed.

"Michael talked a lot of trash when he was playing, and he talked a lot in life!" Chen Mo said.

Stockton smiled and said: "Jerry asked me to teach you some experience. I have watched your game. You are a good player, especially your shooting. But you and I are not the same type I have nothing to teach you about offense and passing, your shot selection is better than mine. All I can tell you is defense."

"Defense is always passive, and definitely not as flexible as offense. When you are facing each player, you have to carefully study his characteristics. If you break through sharply, you have to put a certain distance. If you shoot accurately, you have to go up Post defense. Guard against his preferred hand, force them to handle the ball or shoot with their unaccustomed hand. Once they are not used to it, the efficiency will drop.”

"And as a point guard, you often have to dislocate the defense. At that time, the people you guarded were taller and stronger than you. To deal with people with similar strength as you, you locked him down. It's like, your whole body It’s like sticking to his feet, making him uncomfortable. If he wants to force you, you have to use some tricks.”

Chen Mo knew that Stockton had come to the main point. What he said was playing tricks, it was nothing more than...dirty!

Throughout the history of the league, Stockton is definitely a master on the dirty road.Therefore, Chen Mo did not interrupt him, waiting for Stockton to continue.
