Chapter 68 Thibodeau's On-Site Recruitment: Do You Like New York?
Sitting on the bench, Rose covered himself with a towel and closed his eyes.
His movements aren't that difficult to learn; as long as you have a good physique, you can master the skills quickly with practice.
However, there are some limitations to applying this move in the NBA, which is why many people can learn it but never use it.
First and foremost is their powerful physical abilities, something many in the NBA, known as a hub for talent, can achieve.
But the next point is what makes many people hesitant to use it.
That means there must be a certain number of star referees.
Because dribbling and turning could involve a wrist flip, and a double-footed jump could also involve movement.
Any referee with even a slightly strict approach will always find a reason to call a foul on you.
Wang Xiucheng perfectly matched Ross's expectations.
He suddenly remembered Wang Xiucheng imitating Curry's one-step shooting technique on the spot, and thought about whether he could make his own reverse jump step again so that Wang Xiucheng could learn it.
Rose is a proud man.
In his view, any move that Wang Xiucheng could learn on the spot must be a good move.
Curry's one-step shot is like this, so why can't my reverse step-up floater be like that?
He didn't believe it.
So he did it.
As it turns out, Wang Xiucheng did learn from the master, and even modified the movements to suit himself better.
To Ross's utter surprise, all of this was accomplished in just a few minutes.
"No wonder it became the focus of the league in such a short time."
Rose couldn't help but sigh that the league was about to enter a new era.
The pause ended quickly.
Thibodeau didn't put Rose back in.
Wang Xiucheng, however, is still on the field.
And as time went by, Wang Xiucheng became more and more proficient in his reverse jump step.
Burks and Quickley of the Knicks know this all too well.
Rose's reverse step was modified by Wang Xiucheng to be unpredictable.
If the defender moves with Wang Xiucheng, Wang Xiucheng can jump out of space and make a floater.
If the defender doesn't move, Wang Xiucheng can take off and dunk.
If the two players sandwich him, Wang Xiucheng can still pass the ball to an open space.
For a time, the Knicks couldn't find a way to contain Wang Xiucheng.
Left with no other choice, Thibodeau brought on all his key players.
But the effect wasn't exactly bad; it was practically nonexistent.
They're not even as good as the substitutes.
At least the substitutes got used to Wang Xiucheng's reverse jump step a few times.
As soon as these key players entered the game, they encountered Wang Xiucheng's breakthroughs and reverse jump steps, and could only commit fouls.
Silas also saw the situation on the field and knew that Wang Xiucheng had learned another move, so he kept Wang Xiucheng on the field to familiarize himself with his new move.
They just took some time to bring Jalen Green on.
As for Porter Jr., Gordon Wood, and the others, they could only sit on the bench and chew their nails.
It wasn't until four minutes left in the second quarter that Silas called a timeout to substitute these players who were even more important than the starters.
The Rockets led the Knicks 44-32 on the road, a 12-point advantage.
Covered in sweat, Wang Xiucheng and the others sat on the bench, panting heavily, not even having time to drink water.
They've never played a match this long before.
Including the 6 minutes in the first quarter, Wang Xiucheng, Shen Jing, and others played for a total of 14 minutes. Including the breaks and timeouts, it was roughly 40 minutes.
But everyone had smiles on their faces, and they were happy even though they were tired.
It wasn't until the end of the first half that Wang Xiucheng and the others recovered.
At this point, the score was tied at 47, with both sides evenly matched.
With four minutes remaining, the Rockets scored three points.
Wang Xiucheng and the others stood up and followed the others to the changing room.
Wang Xiucheng didn't finish last this time. He played for a longer time, so he naturally drank more water and therefore needed to relieve more water.
A creature that only takes in but never gives out is a Pixiu.

王蒙正在汇报数据：“上半场王修承出场14分31秒，得到14分6个助攻，正负值+10。”
As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Yang Yi immediately said, "Wang Xiucheng has a terrifying learning ability, which we already witnessed when the Rockets played against the Warriors."
"He learned Rose's signature move again today."
“Stone is right. Wang Xiucheng is improving almost every day. You simply can’t predict what Wang Xiucheng will be like in a week, a month, or a year.”
"so……"
Wang Meng and Wang Shipeng both looked at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi paused for a moment: "So, Lakers, you'd better add something more, otherwise the Rockets won't release him."
Yang Yi clearly still hopes that Wang Xiucheng will leave the Rockets.
Seemingly sensing that Yang Yi's opinion was not entirely neutral, Wang Meng quickly launched into his signature move: a promotional message for a sports protective equipment brand.
Yang Yi stopped talking, but the live chat exploded at that moment.
Lakers and Warriors fans suddenly started arguing in the Rockets' live stream chat.
The reason, of course, is Wang Xiucheng.
It seems that where Wang Xiucheng goes is decided by these fans.
Even after the second half started, the live chat didn't stop.
The online battles even intensified as fans who had left at halftime returned.
Even when Wang Xiucheng came on in the third quarter, it didn't dampen the fans' spirits.
It seems that the Rockets' tactical setup during halftime worked, with players like Porter Wood and Gordon putting up a good fight against the Knicks.
Even after Wang Xiucheng entered the game, the Rockets were only down by 2 points.
After Wang Xiucheng entered the game, the Rockets adopted a different style of play.
The five young men seemed to possess boundless energy, leaving the Knicks players, who had already adapted to the speed of the Rockets' starting lineup, momentarily caught off guard.
Wang Xiucheng passed the ball to four different players in a row, and all four goals were scored.
They went on a 10-0 run and stunned the Knicks.
Thibodeau was so angry that he substituted his entire starting lineup.
Five fit substitutes came on and were able to keep up with the Rockets' pace.
Burks' consecutive three-pointers gave the Knicks a 9-0 run before the end of the third quarter.
This allowed the Knicks to enter the fourth quarter trailing by only one point, 72-73.
During the break, both Thibodeau and Silas drew on their whiteboards, regardless of whether their players looked at them or not, and in the end they both asked, "Got it?"
The fourth quarter began, and the two sides remained evenly matched. Wang Xiucheng continued to combine quick passes with drives, allowing the Rockets to keep scoring.
Burks of the Knicks seemed to be on fire in the second half today, making every shot and keeping the score close.
The game went very smoothly. After the referee took a timeout, Wang Xiucheng and several other key players completed their tasks for the day and returned to the bench.
The game then settled into a normal rhythm, with the Knicks gradually gaining the upper hand, led by the hot-handed Burks.
When the final whistle blew, the Knicks won the home game 106-99.
The Rockets continue their losing streak, and it's unclear when it will end.
The two shook hands and greeted each other. Wang Xiucheng found Ross, gave him a hug, and said, "When you go to China, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Ross smiled. He remembered that Chinese people seemed to really like saying things like "I'll treat you to a meal."
“Okay,” Ross replied, then went to shake hands with the others.
Ross didn't want to linger with Wang Xiucheng for too long, fearing that Wang Xiucheng might say something that would upset him.
He is a rose; even in his fading state, he still has thorns. How can he let people see the tears hidden in his petals?
Finally finding an opportunity, Xibodu grabbed Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng was startled. When he saw it was Thibodeau, he politely greeted him as Coach Thibodeau.
Wang Xiucheng knew that he had been an assistant coach for the Rockets during Yao Ming's era, so he couldn't joke around.
"Your Majesty, how is your physical condition?" Thibodeau asked.
Sibodu grabbed Wang Xiucheng's arm and kept pressing it down, occasionally patting Wang Xiucheng's waist.
This terrified Wang Xiucheng. What was this old man going to do?
"Coach Thibodeau, what do you mean?" Wang Xiucheng's eyes changed.
"Are you in good physical condition? Can you play for a little longer?" Thibodeau asked expectantly.
Wang Xiucheng asked in bewilderment, "How much is 'a little more'?"
Whether he has the stamina to play more matches is probably not what this old man cares about.
“Play more, I mean, can you play 48 minutes in a game?” Thibodeau asked.
A match lasts 48 minutes?
Even the donkeys in the production team are no better.
Wang Xiucheng broke out in a cold sweat and observed a moment of silence for Thibodeau's players.
"Do you like New York?" Thibodeau suddenly asked in a low voice, covering his mouth.
Wang Xiucheng was startled. Was this a recruitment drive?
Recruiting directly on the field?
Even if you dare ask me, I wouldn't dare answer.
If this gets caught on camera, the league could fine the Knicks terribly.
At least they recruited privately, but you not only recruited illegally, you also openly recruited at the competition venue.
Does this mean the alliance office is blind?
"Wang, let me introduce you to my girlfriend."
Fortunately, at that moment, Jalen Green's voice rang out from behind.
