Nuggets bench.
Interval break, tactics arranged.
Mike Malone put his arm around Zeng Xingyang's shoulder and came to the technical table, saying in a low voice: "Zeng, your task is to shoot and score, don't hesitate too much."
Zeng Xingyang frowned, sighed, and said, "Coach, give Nikola and me more playing time, or we'll be too passive."
Before, it didn't really matter if he was a starter or not, but recently Zeng Xingyang has been feeling frustrated. He and Jokic are almost always coming off the bench to fill the gaps left by the starters, and the gaps are not always the same.
Rather than this, it would be better if he and Jokic started; it would be a bit better.
If he and Jokic started, the team wouldn't find itself passive right from the start of each game.
Looking at Zeng Xingyang's eager eyes for improvement, Mike Malone said, "Don't rush, the season is long, you will have many opportunities..."
Mike Malone still hasn't made up his mind.
