When Van Exel's trade was just completed, the Glory Team's coaching staff was worried that his unstable performance might disrupt the team's good order and chemistry.
Later it proved that this worry was unnecessary.
Although Eddie House is a very promising young man, in terms of personal ability, he can't compare with the mature Van Exel.
After gradually adapting to the Glory Team's tactical system, Van Exel performed well in the sixth man position.
Tomjanovich gave him enough freedom, allowing him to play according to his own ideas and rhythm after coming off the bench, without having to follow some tactical rules.
Old Tang is indeed a coach who is very good at inspiring the potential of players.
Off the court, Van Exel is constrained by Gan Guoyang, but on the court, Old Tang gives him autonomy, and Van Exel plays better and better.
