Chapter 446 A Qualified Third Leader (Second Update!)

After training, the players all returned to the locker room one after another.

When Tang Tian also got up, he was stopped by Huo Ledi.

Holiday rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others, which is also a very rare thing.

The others had left, and the two of them happened to be able to relax and chat in the training hall.

"How can I pass the ball well?"

This is the question that Holiday asked, and it is also the question he said when he communicated with Davis before.

"Zhu, do you want to be an organizer?" Tang Tian didn't answer Holledi directly, but asked rhetorically.

Huo Ledi was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to understand the meaning of Tang Tian's words.

"Did you choose to become a point guard because of your height, or because you like to organize this matter?" Tang Tian spoke more clearly.

"Because of height." Holiday replied.

Basketball is an activity that has a lot to do with height. Except for a few outliers such as Boykins and Rodman, the position of most people is basically determined by their height.

Holiday is only 1.93 meters tall and has the size of a guard. In theory, he can only play the position of point guard.

"I know Coach Williams has been teaching you how to be a good point guard, and you're trying to do it, but..."

Tang Tian changed the topic of conversation.

"I think you're more suited to be an aggressive point guard, like Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook."

What Tang Tian said made Huo Ledi stunned for a moment, this was the first time he heard someone say that to him.

From high school to college to the NBA, almost every coach, like Williams, is telling him how to become a qualified, even All-Star point guard.

"Modern basketball is not as clear-cut as it used to be. Rose opened up a new position, the scoring point guard, which has been proven to exist."

Seeing Huo Ledi's expression, Tang Tian then added.

Huo Ledi nodded thoughtfully, Tang Tian said that there is no problem.

In the past, point guards would not be encouraged to attack, which is why Nash's offensive power is so strong, but his scoring has not been very high.

Point guards were previously bound to organize offenses.

"Train your three-pointers well. You have three-pointers, breakthroughs and defensive stability. Even if your organizational skills are poor, you will play with a greater sense of presence."

Tang Tian continued.

Holiday works hard, has a good attitude, and doesn't pursue possession of the ball. This kind of player is actually very rare.

This is why superstars team up to play brother basketball, but it is difficult to succeed at once.

Because of the sacrifice of ball rights and status, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied.

After all, not everyone is willing to change from the eldest to the second, third, or even fourth.

But Huo Ledi's character, as long as his strength comes up, is the most suitable candidate to be the third leader.

Huo Ledi nodded. What Tang Tian said really made him feel enlightened.

"The coaching staff, I will help you get it done."

Tang Tian smiled and patted Holledi on the head.

"Thanks."

Holiday nodded gratefully.

Sure enough, what Davis said was correct. Although Tang Tian was young, he was really like a life mentor.

In the second day's training session, Tang Tian pulled Williams to share his thoughts.

Williams thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

If it was the beginning of the season, he would definitely not accept Tang Tian's words, but now that more than two months have passed, Holiday has proven to be really difficult to become a good organizer.

If the coaching staff forces him to do something he is not good at, it is knowing that he can't do it.

Although Williams' coaching ability is a bit poor, he is indeed a coach who knows how to adapt.

Of course, Tang Tian's existence was also an important reason why he finally agreed.

If you don't let your core point guard organize the offense, someone must organize it.

Tang Tian is a better choice.

And they've actually done it in the past.

Now it is just to make this division of labor more clear.

However, this kind of change is definitely not an instant thing, at least it will not be practiced until Tang Tian comes back.

In the next week, the Pelicans ended their previous easy schedule, encountered strong opponents consecutively, and lost consecutively.

After a wave of losing streak, the ranking fell all the way to twelfth in the West.

The good news is that Davis' performance has become more and more stable.

On the night when the team lost to the Trail Blazers, he scored 30+10+5 luxury data.

The leader of the empty cutting group lives up to its name.

Davis performed well, and Tang Tian gave him a lot of encouragement.

Davis just smiled and didn't hide.

After touching it for a while, Tang Tian suddenly discovered that Davis had just cut his hair again, and it was when his hair was the shortest, so it felt a little prickly to the touch.

"AD, your hair is too short, you should have medium-length hair."

Tang Tian said.

He said that partly because he tied his hands.

On the other hand, Davis has increased his exposure rate now, so he should pay more attention to his image. His short hair style is too ugly, so he needs to change it. It is best to grow a mustache or something.

"good."

Davis' answer was pretty straightforward.

"..."

So agreed!

Your own hairstyle, you just agreed to it!

Let's argue!

Question it without arguing!

Accept, you are accepted!

Tang Tian completely saw Davis' true face.

This week passed, Tang Tian recovered well and could start shooting training already.

As expected, he has another week to play.

On this night, the Pelicans ushered in a game against the Spurs at home.

The last time Tang Tian scored 4 three-pointers in a row at the last moment, and contributed the first lore in the Pelicans career by the way, beheading the old owner.

But this time Tang Tian sat on the sidelines.

The Pelicans tried their best, but the strength gap with the Spurs was not small, and they were almost 20 points behind at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Davis still stayed on the court to chase points.

At this time, he had a hard confrontation with Baynes when he was defending the basket, and he didn't get up after falling, which frightened the fans and coaching staff on the sidelines.

Tang Tian's injury hasn't healed yet. If Davis gets injured again, the season of the Pelicans will really end early.

Fortunately, Davis only suffered a hard confrontation, and stood up again after slowing down. It seemed that there was nothing serious.

Williams hastily replaced him.

In Tang Tian's absence, although Davis's stats have risen, because of his own strength, he is actually very tired from playing.

You can't see anything in one or two games, and the risk will come out if you play too many games.

The Pelicans eventually lost, but Davis was fine, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

After the game, Tang Tian called Dempsey and asked him to try his best to trade a black and tough insider.

Jason Smith's defense is not good. He didn't see it when he first started, but now he is targeted after playing for a long time, and the effect is already very poor.

Thanks to Xingfeng Xiaoye for the reward.
