A few days later, Jiang Dongbing met Glove Payton in his office.

"Coach Jiang, it's an honor to play for you. I hope I can fulfill my dream of winning the championship under you." Payton said with an indifferent expression.

If we want to say who is the most successful head coach in the league in the past two years, it is undoubtedly Jiang Dongbing. He led the Grizzlies to win two championships in a row, and the Grizzlies were still in a state of poverty at that time.

Although Payton's expression was indifferent, he was extremely excited in his heart. Being able to play for a coach like Jiang Dongbing means that he is one step closer to the championship.

"I can't believe that one day I will be able to coach a superstar like you. It really feels like a dream." Jiang Dongbing said to Payton.

This is definitely not Jiang Dongbing's praise of Payton, but in his heart Payton really deserves such an evaluation.

Payton is definitely the best defensive point guard in the entire NBA history. There is no one. He is the best one. No one can tie with him.

On the offensive end, Payton's offense is not very good. Jiang Dongbing can find at least ten point guards who have better offense than Payton. However, considering the offense, Payton is considered by Jiang Dongbing to be one of the top five point guards in history.

It's a pity that Payton's luck is not good, and the SuperSonics team has always been very confusing in terms of player management.

This is not to slander the SuperSonics, but is the consensus of fans all over the world. Not to mention the various tricks of the Sonics era, they later moved to Ohla and changed their name to the Thunder, and there were even more tricks.

If Payton has a group of strong teammates, then his historical status will definitely be very high.

Now Payton's opportunity has come. Jiang Dongbing has nothing but strong players, which will definitely allow Payton to start a new glory at the end of his career.

When a new player joins the team, Jiang Dongbing makes a habit of binding him, wanting to see the attributes of the famous player Payton.

After the binding was completed, Jiang Dongbing's expression changed immediately. Payton's attributes were really weird!

Needless to say, the attributes on the defensive end reached 98 points in both single defense and assist defense, but the three-point attributes on the offensive end were incomprehensible to Jiang Dongbing.

Payton's three-point attribute potential is as high as 94 points, but his current three-point attribute is only 81 points!

"What the hell is this? A player of Payton's age doesn't have untapped attributes, does he?"

"Good guy, if Payton can also reach 94 points in three-point shooting, then this deal will be a huge profit." Jiang Dongbing felt happy.

The data doesn't lie. Since Payton's attribute panel displays this, it means that Payton really has a large three-point potential that has not been developed.

Payton's offensive end, breakthroughs and mid-range shooting are all good, but the only three-pointer is not very good. It has improved a bit in recent years. In the early stages of his career, he was simply unsatisfactory.

But in Jiang Dongbing's tactical system, special emphasis is placed on three-pointers. Originally, Jiang Dongbing was still having a headache. After Payton came, should he change his offensive tactics? He didn't expect to use it at all. Payton's

Three-pointers are much more powerful than I thought.

In this way, Payton has the strongest defense in history, first-class passing and control skills, coupled with the current first-class offense, Jiang Dongbing can already foresee how powerful Payton will be on the court in the future.

"Do you want to rest for a few days?" Jiang Dongbing asked.

Payton shook his head, "No, I'm ready to play for the Trail Blazers."

"Okay, then I will start the next game directly. I hope you can bring us some surprises." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.

…

The next game the Trail Blazers played was against the New Jersey Nets, which was the home court of the Trail Blazers. When the fans saw Payton directly starting the game, they couldn't help but be shocked.

You know, it was just reported yesterday that the Trail Blazers had made a trade with the SuperSonics. Unexpectedly, Payton actually started the game today!

"God, have we and the Sonics already negotiated a trade for Payton? Otherwise, how could it be so fast?"

"Isn't it normal to be so fast? We are so close to Seattle. Mr. Payton doesn't have to pack his luggage or bring his family over. He can drive to Portland in two hours by himself. After the deal is concluded, he will drive the same day

Come here, what's the problem?"

"Don't we need to practice together with our teammates for a period of time? Isn't it too hasty to just start the game directly?"

"The Trail Blazers are a bunch of rookies. How can a player like Payton be trained with them? The other four starters on the court have not played as many years in the NBA as Payton."

Fans are talking a lot, but they are looking forward to it, wondering whether Payton can bring a slight improvement in strength to the Blazers.

"Gary, I know you are not a player who likes to shoot three-pointers very much, but I hope you can try to improve your three-pointers in the future." Jiang Dongbing said to Payton before the game started.

Letting Payton take more three-pointers is not only Jiang Dongbing's tactical need, but also more because he wants Payton to quickly increase his three-point attributes to the limit.

If he can score 5 three-pointers in one game, then the two games can improve his three-point shooting attributes. Payton's three-point shooting will reach the limit in about thirty games, and then he will be a complete player.

Payton.

Of course, scoring five three-pointers in a game is still quite difficult, and Payton needs to overcome this.

Before coming to the Trail Blazers, in the previous two seasons, due to the Grizzlies, Payton also strengthened his three-point shots, from averaging two or three per game to averaging five or six shots per game.

Less, but Payton averaged nearly 20 shots per game and only took five or six three-pointers, which was really too few.

Now that he is working under Jiang Dongbing, Jiang Dongbing doesn't care how many times Payton takes a game. He only requires that Payton's three-pointers should account for more than half of the total shots!

Payton is not young anymore. If he still plays the same way as before, he will be easily injured and his condition will be affected. Now if he tries his best to take long-distance shots from the outside, it will actually be of great benefit to Payton's future career.

…

The game on the court has begun. The Nets' starting point guard is Stephon Marbury, who is Payton's opponent tonight.

Political Commissar Ma can now be said to be very proud of himself. After coming to the Nets in the past two years, his statistics have soared to the level of 22 points and 8.5 assists per game, and he is already a super point guard.

But his problem is still very obvious, that is, his defense is too bad.

Because he is not too old yet, some fans still have high hopes for Political Commissar Ma. When Political Commissar Ma reaches his age, his defensive intensity will naturally increase.

When it comes to the player that Commissar Ma doesn't want to face in the entire league, Payton is definitely ranked number one. Don't forget Payton's nickname of the glove. It really sticks to Commissar Ma like a glove.

In the game record against Payton, Commissar Ma only averaged 13 points per game, which is far inferior to his average data per game. This also shows how many deaths Commissar Ma was restricted by Payton.

From the beginning, Political Commissar Ma wanted to score points on Payton. However, under Payton's tight defense, he failed to do anything at the beginning and was disgraced.

Turning around, it's the Trail Blazers' offensive round. This is Payton's debut with the Trail Blazers. He may also want to show off his status in the Trail Blazers, so he simply attacks the first ball by himself.

Political Commissar Ma had a solemn look on his face. There was a big gap between his own body and Payton's. If Payton beat him, he would really be unable to bear it. His defensive skills were poor and his body was far inferior to others. How could he defend against this?

What made Political Commissar Ma happy was that Payton didn't hit himself or use a pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot. Instead, he directly looked for opportunities on the outside and shot a three-pointer.

"Duang!" The sound of iron came, and Payton's three-pointer was not scored.

In the next three Blazers offensive rounds, Payton shot three three-pointers in succession, but only made one.

He took four three-point shots in the beginning, but only made one. This shooting rate was indeed a bit embarrassing. It made Payton's face turn red. He was thinking about showing off his skills in front of the newbies of the Trail Blazers, but he didn't expect it.

It's a shame.

Political Commissar Ma breathed a sigh of relief. If Payton lost his nerve and kept shooting three-pointers tonight, he wouldn't be too worried.

It is true that Payton can always defend himself, but Payton's three-point shooting is not much better than his own. As long as Payton is not lucky enough, he is likely to maintain this embarrassing shooting rate tonight.

The score was low, so who can say who took advantage in this duel?

Jiang Dongbing sat on the court with a calm expression. Payton missed three-pointers many times. In his opinion, it was simply too normal.

Now Jiang Dongbing's main purpose is to improve Payton's three-point attributes. As for winning this game, he actually doesn't care at all.

After Artest returns to the team, that's when the Blazers will really show their strength. Now even if the Blazers lose and become last in the Western Conference, Jiang Dongbing is sure to get a playoff ticket at the end of the season.

.

In fact, as long as he can enter the playoffs, Jiang Dongbing doesn't care much about his ranking. No matter what the ranking, as long as he wants to win the championship, he will eventually have to play against the strongest team in the Western Conference.

So Jiang Dongbing doesn't care much about the regular season record now, as long as he can make it to the playoffs in the end.

…

The game continued on the court. After experiencing the early slump, this veteran who had been in the league for more than ten years finally found his form. He hit two of the next five three-pointers, which can be regarded as making up for some shooting.

Payton is very practical. Jiang Dongbing asked him to shoot three-pointers before the game, so he really only shot three-pointers. He took nine shots in the first quarter, and all of them were three-pointers.

He hit three three-pointers in nine shots and scored nine points. This scoring efficiency is definitely not high, but Payton has made a great contribution to the team on the defensive end. He can not only lock down the Cavaliers on his own.

The political commissar could even allocate part of his energy to help Reed with his defense.

Jiang Dongbing watched with joy. Having such a selfless veteran on the court can indeed improve the Blazers' overall combat effectiveness.

After all, the New Jersey Nets are relatively weak. Even if the Trail Blazers played a new lineup tonight, they ultimately failed to win at the Trail Blazers' home court.

Payton's three-pointer tonight directly broke his own single-game three-point shot record. Last season, Payton just set a personal record of 17 three-point shots in a single game. In that game, he scored 7

The three-pointer is in very good condition.

Tonight, Payton took a crazy 21 three-pointers and also hit 7 three-pointers. This shooting rate is not good, only 33.3%.

However, Jiang Dongbing is extremely satisfied. The goal he set for Payton is to score five three-pointers in a game. Unexpectedly, Payton can exceed the goal. If he continues to play at this efficiency, Payton may only need two goals.

It only takes a dozen games to increase the three-point attribute to the limit.

After the game, Payton had only one feeling, and that was relief...

After playing in Seattle for so long, he swore that no game would be easier than tonight.

He doesn't have to think so much on the court. His teammates are all very good. He only needs to think about how to limit the opponent's offensive points. On the offensive end, he can shoot three-pointers when he has the chance, and he doesn't have to think about how to break through his opponent.

25 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. After playing a game easily, the data is not bad. It is even better than his average data per game in the SuperSonics. The only flaw is that the three-point shooting rate is not high.

If his three-point shooting percentage could be as high as 40%, then tonight would be perfect.

"Coach, I'm sorry, my three-point shooting didn't feel particularly good tonight." After coming off the court, Payton said to Jiang Dongbing apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. Believe me, in the Trail Blazers, it won't be long before you become the top three-point player in the league!" Jiang Dongbing said with confidence.

Payton looked at Jiang Dongbing with a strange expression. He suspected that Jiang Dongbing was deceiving him as a young rookie. How old is he, and it won't take long for him to become the league's top three-point shooter? What a big deception.

In the next game, Payton and Reid directly became the most troubled backcourt combination in the league.

No matter what the situation is, these two people will shoot more than thirty three-pointers in every game. If they are lucky, they will shoot their opponents directly in the half court, but if they are not lucky, they will shoot themselves in the half court.

.

However, because Reed now has a very high three-point attribute, he can still knock out his opponents in most cases.

Reed's nickname is the Golden Left Hand. Now that his left hand is equipped with a glove, the fists he swings are as terrifying as the Pegasus Meteor Punch. He beats many weak teams and makes them miserable.

Of course, there are also times when the state is not good, and players like Rashid become so angry that they sit on the bench and curse at their teammates...

Jiang Dongbing was actually quite annoyed with Rashid's current situation. He was trying to show off his abilities to his teammates. That was definitely not what a hero would do.
Chapter completed!
