882 The Beginning of an Era—Running In
The collaboration with Xiao Han is not as terrible as McGrady imagined. He should thank Joe Johnson, who he said he looked down on, because it was Johnson that led to Xiao Han's change.
In addition to the fact that Xiao Han would shout loudly at some times, oh, perhaps urging him to pass the ball would make McGrady more acceptable, and there were always four or five times in a training session, but Xiao Han did not give him these two points to make T-Mac a little dissatisfied, McGrady found that there were not many changes he needed to make.
Another point is that if Xiao Han reaches out to ask for the ball, McGrady must hand over the ball eight out of ten times, because Adelman clearly stated that in that case, giving the ball to Xiao Han will definitely be more in control than leaving the ball in McGrady's hands. McGrady cannot refute this at all, because Xiao Han wants the ball, and he must play it himself. In fact, if Xiao Han wants it himself, he will never reach out to ask for the ball at McGrady. Speaking of finding teammates who have a chance at any time, McGrady admitted that he is far inferior to Xiao Han.
Since it wasn't because Xiao Han's offense was better than him, McGrady barely accepted it. Moreover, this situation did not happen many times. First, since the ball would be in the hands of McGrady, then there were ten points that Xiao Han thought he could give it to him for a singles. Second, in some cases, Xiao Han could control himself. Even if he missed the opportunity, he would not make such a request to McGrady.
This is a great improvement for Xiao Han. He no longer requires that the competition must be carried out according to his vision. The competition belongs to everyone. Now he has realized this more fully.
There is such a benefit to staying by the superstar side. You will always see some wonderful things happening. Before you know it, Xiao Han's thoughts have changed again compared to when the Olympics just finished.
The Hawks, the Beijing Olympics and the Rockets were later considered to be the three most critical stages of Xiao Han's career, which does not mean that he has achieved great achievements in the past two years. In terms of achievements, the three experiences in the past two years are only defined as the early stage of Xiao Han's career, of course, not as good as the mid-term and late stages, but it is these two years that have portrayed Xiao Han from a simple-minded student player to a real professional player.
Just want to change everything in the game alone? That is simply impossible. Xiao Han has realized this. What’s ridiculous is that McGrady is still on the verge of this kind of idea.
But at least McGrady is changing, whether it is because she realizes that she has already gone downhill or because of Xiao Han's forced, McGrady does that.
Xiao Han's accommodation played a key role in it. It must be admitted that Xiao Han was still very cute in the early stages of his career. He was always so compassionate, especially for those outdated and about to outdated stars. McGrady, a teacher who taught him a lot in the video. Although this is a bit domineering, it also helped him establish a good reputation.
Young people, it is not a bad thing to be better in character.
The only time when we feel sad is that when Xiao Han's sympathy is applied to McGrady, McGrady is only 29 years old.
Not every young man is willing to play in the same team with two superstars he can't help but respect. To be honest, only one of these people is enough for young people, but Xiao Han did it very calmly.
Adelman later summarized that he believed that the reason why Xiao Han could do that was so great that he admired and even admired was, of course, because Xiao Han was broad-minded and willing to sacrifice for Yao Ming and McGrady. In the final analysis, it was because Xiao Han, a young man, was very good at seizing opportunities. As long as there was one person between Yao and McGrady, it was of course McGrady more often, and it was Yao and McGrady rarely. No matter what, as soon as this situation occurred, Xiao Han could immediately slap the table and make amazing performances. This performance was mainly based on high divisions.
This has become a phenomenon. As long as the team needs it, Xiao Han can stand up and take responsibility. This is more admirable than being the only one he stands alone in every game. This not only does not make people look down on his ability, but also makes everyone look at his strength a little higher. Of course, it is widely circulated and his mind is still very broad.
All of this became favorable factors to help Xiao Han get the big contract that big-name stars salivate after the end of the season. However, Adelman believes that Xiao Han's intermittent outbreak may be the child's depression in his chest and an effective adjustment to his own mood and state. It is precisely because of this that he seems even more amazing.
These are all later stories. Xiao Han had just started doing this at this time, and McGrady had just accepted him initially. There is still a long way to go before opening his heart and cooperate.
Adelman is optimistic about this, he believes it will be a great season, people will see a great Rockets team and a great Yao-Mai combination, and of course, there is probably a great Xiao Han.
The biggest reason why Adelman is loved by players is this. He believes in his disciples and is willing to give each of them a chance. This is definitely something that D'Antoni, who insists on the "seven-man rotation", will never be able to do.
McGrady performed quite well in training. He was willing to obey Adelman's arrangements and sometimes he was willing to obey Xiao Han's instructions. Although he tried to make the change less obvious, everyone actually saw it.
Adelman felt it was time to instill his "this season championship" concept into McGrady. If a team and a player want to achieve greatness, they must first have a great goal.
“t-mac, you can’t do that…”
This is inevitable during training. When Xiao Han said this, the lines on McGrady's face were still a little stiff, but after Adelman talked to him, McGrady's expression became much softer, even when the error was pointed out.
This is the running-in. In the way people get familiar with each other and become their habit of getting along. It depends entirely on how they started. Adelman believes that McGrady will soon not feel that Xiao Han's tone is stiff.
Yao Ming is also a wonderful person. He actually stopped his teammates from watching Xiao Han's game highlights last season with a chance to rest. Combined with his great performances this season, Yao Ming made his teammates clearly realize that Xiao Han made a very big concession when he came to this team. The purpose is to let everyone understand Xiao Han's painstaking efforts, rather than taking his sacrifice for granted.
Some things have to be provoked and never mention them. Even if everyone knows that it is a fact, almost everyone will selectively forget them. Only by pointing them out can it become a thorn in everyone's heart and always make people remember its existence.
Of course Xiao Han did not attend such a gathering. He was still worried that the team's running-in was not just between him and McGrady, and everyone should participate. But in fact, the team's progress in this regard is still very small. Take Xiao Han himself as an example. There are some barriers between him and substitute point guard Brooks that have not had the chance to be eliminated so far.
Adelman didn't know that the reason why Xiao Han was able to make sacrifices happily was because he knew how to understand others. He seemed to be the one who felt most wronged, but in fact he was still far from the word "most".
Is Yao Ming's sacrifice great? He has almost become the lubricant and adhesive between Xiao Han and McGrady, and he is even more willing to be the vassal of both of them in the competition.
Is Artest's sacrifice great? After coming to the Rockets, his shots in each game have not reached double digits. It is certain that as Xiao Han and McGrady get along more and more, it is difficult for him to have more opportunities, but has Artest complained?
Is Scola's sacrifice great? He is definitely among the top five players in South America, even Europe, including his best players, but what about his status in the Rockets? It's right to start, but Adelman still wants to replace him if he wants to be replaced, and press him on the bench if he wants to be on the bench. Has he considered his feelings?
This is just the starter, what about those substitutes, especially Bathir?
Xiao Han has a very grateful heart. Not only can he discover everyone's contribution to the team, but he will also feel happy about it. He always feels that he should thank everyone and understanding that their hearts are just the most basic. Even if such thoughts are only reflected in the action, how can you not let your teammates be wholeheartedly devoted to him?
I must remember one thing, in the hearts of Xiao Han’s teammates, he is already a superstar.
