All-Around Forward Swingman

"I know what you mean. For Yao Ming, gaining weight can indeed increase his dominance, but because of gaining weight, his body will wear out faster. This is a matter of pros and cons, so I suggest The team traded Shaquille O'Neal, who was not liked by the Heat." Adelman nodded, he had been teaching the Rockets for a long time, so he naturally knew Yao Ming's situation.

"Although O'Neal is a bit old, it's not that the "740" is completely unstoppable. I think he can play 15 to 20 minutes per game, so that both Yao Ming and him can get a good rest." Yang Shan thinks Adelman's use of O'Neal was too conservative.

"What you said makes sense. By the way, what do you think of the team's lineup?" Adelman asked with a smile.

"Lineup? I think the current lineup is okay." Yang Shan thought about it and didn't think there was anything wrong with the lineup. The current Rockets Yao Ming and McGrady are both All-Stars, and he is also an All-Star player. Three All-Stars, plus O'Neal, a starting-level center, is very strong both inside and outside.

"Have you ever thought about playing point guard? Now the team's power forward is Battier. Battier's defense is very strong. But what he is good at defending is the perimeter. He can't defend many players in the position of power forward. Have you ever thought about starting point guard, letting Tracy McGrady move to the shooting guard position, and Battier as small forward." Seeing Yang Shan say this, Adelman breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again.

"You mean to let Scola as the team's starting power forward?" Yang Shan understood what Adelman meant.

"Yes, although this year is Scola's rookie season, he is not a rookie in the general sense. The 27-year-old Scola is in his prime. After more than a dozen games, he has fully adapted to the NBA. The rhythm of the game. I believe you can see that he is a player who plays with his brain. Putting him in the starting position will also help us go further in the playoffs." Adelman nodded and said Out of their own plans.

"Of course, I have no objection." In Yang Shan's memory, after Yao Ming was injured, Scola started and played very well.

"I didn't have this idea before. In these few games, I found that your passing ability and court insight are much better than I expected...You can shoot and pass suddenly, and you are a qualified three-threat player. .More importantly, you have an advantage over any team's starting point guard when you start the team." Adelman found that Yang Shan's passing ability is very powerful in the past few games, and this is the reason for his success. the idea.

"I obey the coach's arrangement." Yang Shan doesn't have any particular idea about where to play.

"Also, we have won 19 consecutive victories, and tomorrow's game will be the 20th victory." Adelman said with a smile.

19 consecutive victories? Hearing this number, Yang Shan was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t thought about this problem yet. He really didn’t expect the team to win 19 consecutive victories so quickly. It’s only three games away from the original 2.3-time 22-game winning streak. up.

After dozens of games, Yang Shan was tired. This is of course not physically tired, but mentally tired. NBA players look very good, but they play 82 games a year, half of which are away games. It can be said that they have to take dozens of planes every year.

Not to mention there are back to back, for a rookie like Yang Shan, this requires an adaptation process. .
