Extraordinary moves
Half an hour later, the final adjustments to the arena were finally completed.
The Sonics, after sitting there for half an hour, had the opportunity to step into the center of the Alamo Dome.
There was no time to argue with the arena. The original two hours of adaptation time was now only one and a half hours.
Paul Westphal immediately arranged to warm up. On the other side, Field took several training games to the basket.
Set up the shelf and climb it to the same height as the basket, and then hang a tape measure from the top.
"What are you doing?"
"At rim jumping height."
"Hoop height?"
Hearing this, Wang Hao was really dumbfounded.
When he was back in time and space, he had heard of this kind of thing. During away games, some teams would play tricks on the basket.
Of course, you would definitely not dare to do this in official competitions.
After all, every NBA game has strict regulations on the playing field.
Not to mention key parts like the basketball stand, even the ground has very strict requirements.
Later, when the China Game was held, the NBA even airlifted floor mats to the scene.
I have to say that from this perspective, it is still very good.
Sometimes, the Chinese people just lack this kind of craftsmanship spirit. Whatever you do, is fine, okay...
During the official game, no team would dare to do this, but before the official game, that is not necessarily the case.
Especially when adapting to the training in the stadium. In this case, it is normal for there to be some minor problems with the basket.
Don't underestimate this little problem.
Even a difference of just a few centimeters will affect the hand feel to a great extent.
If the team has no experience, it will be stupid and do nothing.
So this training session is in vain. After all, there is something wrong with the basket, and you still want to shoot the ball?
The lighter one will have a psychological impact on tomorrow's game; the more serious one will be that if you really adapt to the height of today's basket, it will be miserable tomorrow.
Wang Hao was a little speechless. In order to win, these teams really did everything they could.
"What's wrong? Wang, is something incredible?
Relax, you have just entered the alliance and you don’t know the situation. You will encounter more weird situations in the future.
But don't worry, those guys are very experienced and they won't let the Spurs succeed."
After hearing Gary Payton's explanation, Wang Hao still couldn't accept it, and then asked.
"Gary, are they necessary? I mean, do these off-the-clock moves work?
If you don’t have enough strength, no matter how many methods you use, it’s just a joke!”
Hearing this, Gary Payton glanced at Wang Hao specifically and suddenly became a little interested.
Wang Hao has always given people the impression that he is very mature and does not look like a rookie at all.
However, at this moment, Gary Payton discovered a hint of youth in Wang Hao.
"Wang, you are right, if you don't have enough strength to win the game, then all the extra moves are just a joke!
But, you have to know that the competition in the playoffs is very fierce, and the difference between victory and defeat may be just a little bit.
Off-board moves cannot determine victory or defeat, but they can increase the winning rate a little bit. Although it is insignificant, it exists."
"Okay, maybe you have a point!"
It can only be said that Wang Hao is a newcomer after all. Although Yuan Shikong knows the NBA very well, his understanding is limited to external knowledge.
The internal understanding of NBA teams is mostly just hearsay.
The desire of NBA teams to win, especially the desire to win in the playoffs, is far from what he understands.
Fortunately, Wang Hao is not the kind of person who is too quick to get into trouble, and he quickly devoted himself to training.
Today is mainly adaptive training, which is actually shooting training, or mainly shooting.
As for tactical training, it has already been carried out.
Well, as a winner, the Sonics' tactics are effective and can adapt to changes.
It's nothing more than double-teaming the inside and blocking the Spurs' outside scoring. In this way, winning is not far away.
The Sonics attach great importance to the Spurs' inside cornerstone, and they only try to limit it as much as possible.
It's just that compared to the Spurs team that won the championship last year, today's Spurs team is much worse on the outside.
Neither Avery Johnson nor Sean Elliott can recreate the highlight moments of last year's finals.
Otherwise, the Spurs will not wait until GDP is combined to reach the top of the league again.
April 29, San Antonio, Alamo Dome Center.
Amid roaring boos, the Sonics entered the arena at the Alamo Dome.
When everyone came out of the player tunnel, Wang Hao even heard curses and insults.
So, don’t think that foreigners are just high-quality, especially when it comes to sports.
NBA fans at the scene, as well as football hooligans...
"Wang, don't worry, these are just a bunch of idiots, they are just enjoying themselves.
Think about us, we earn millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year, even if we get scolded, so what?"
The atmosphere in the playoffs is different after all, and Gary Payton even specially comforted Wang Hao.
However, what he said was a bit excessive, and he covered his mouth specifically for fear of being lip-readed.
Wang Hao spread his hands and said, "Gary, I'm at a huge loss, okay? I only get 3,000 meters of gold per game."
Hearing this, Gary Payton couldn't help but laugh. After all, Wang Hao's contract this year is really low.
It can be said that the selection of other awards may still be controversial, and even the controversy is not small.
But when it comes to selecting the most cost-effective contract in the NBA this year, there is no surprise!
It must be Wang Hao without a doubt!
Being able to say this, Gary Payton knew that Wang Hao's mentality was not affected by the fans.
Wang Hao has always felt that his mentality is quite good. After all, he has been born in two lifetimes. What storms have he not seen?
This little trick by Spurs fans will not anger him.
However, even the insults from Spurs fans didn't irritate him, but now Wang Hao was furious.
"Holy shit, do you know how to brag? I haven't even touched his body hair. How can this be a foul?"
Not only was he angry in general, he was so angry that he couldn't even speak English and directly greeted the whole family opposite him using Chinese curse words.
Fortunately, NBA coaches are not required to know foreign languages. Otherwise, just these few sentences would definitely be another T.
In fact, when the referee heard Wang Hao's words, he already stared at him with very unfriendly eyes.
Mainly because I didn’t understand it, so I hesitated to give it a T.
At this time, Gary Payton quickly stepped in and pulled Wang Hao aside.
Wang Hao has already been taken away, so the referee has no chance to punish him.
"Wang, calm down, okay?"
Well, Gary Payton said this a bit regretfully, because he has already received a technical foul.
As for the reason, it was because I kept chattering in front of the referee.
Chapter completed!
