NBA villain

Chapter 49 Positive Reports
Yang Di played again in the fourth quarter. At that time, the Pacers were already [-] points behind the Heat. Carlisle had no intention of recovering the score, and the game entered garbage time.

Wade did not play with Yang Di again after that, but a group of fringe people just did it with the ball and only had the basket in their eyes.

The next day, the "Miami Sports News" reported the Heat's first regular game of the new season, and the process of exercising more than the meaning of the game was particularly valued.

For example, Wade and Yang Di, who were selected as the top ten goals that day, respectively.

The two dunks, one was Wade's fast-break reverse dunk, and the other was Yang Di's in-situ dunk after grabbing the offensive rebound, which detonated the fans' vision, but it was actually a different sensory experience.

"Amazing talent."

"The potential is limitless."

The previous word describes Wade, and the next word describes Yang Di.

The difference is that Wade has shown unparalleled talent, and talent has always been regarded as one of the abilities in the NBA's concept, while Yang Di's ability is still somewhat lacking, such as "weak shooting ability and poor defensive selection" written in the newspaper , poor free throws" and so on, can only use future possibilities to give the definition of present performance.

This is a positive report, which quickly attracted the attention of Chinese fans on the Florida Peninsula. After all, although Yang Di's skin is a little darker, his facial features are still typical of Asian men. His eyes are dark, and his blood clearly flows from his hometown. blood.

Being of the same origin, they easily aroused resonance and support.

When a player has a good performance, the reports are always positive.

……

Madison, Wisconsin.

The small restaurant on Oak Street is close to Madison's high school. In the evening, students from nearby restaurants come to eat.

Just as yesterday's top ten balls were being played, the TV set hung high in the restaurant attracted students to stop.

"The tenth ball, Corey Maggette of the Los Angeles Clippers dunked fast, and completed a one-armed basket!" Maggette averaged 16.8 points and 5 rebounds per game for the Clippers last season. During the offseason, he participated in the training camp special training. This season has just started, and even in the preseason, the results of the special training are faintly displayed.

"On the ninth ball, Boston Celtics guard Kedrick Brown shook his opponent wonderfully and made a freehand layup!" This guard was selected by the Celtics with the 01th pick in the first round in 11. The season has been playing soy sauce, and today it was ranked among the top ten goals, which seems to be a good sign for the new season.

"The eighth ball, the Chinese rookie selected by the Miami Heat, grabbed the offensive rebound angrily, and hung up the frame with both hands!"

Yang Di's wonderful goal was placed on the eighth goal of the top ten goals on the official website of the day. As soon as this goal appeared, the fans immediately exclaimed.

A high school student watching football in a restaurant shouted, "I know this guy!"

"Fuck, I think I've seen him too."

"Isn't this the center of the Firefox team last year? I heard that the Firefox team won the Madison championship at that time because of this guy."

"It's no wonder that the Bison team, which was so strong at that time, was picked as it was said to be picked. There is a player who can enter the NBA as an opponent, and there is no shame in losing."

Many high school students are fans of the Firefox team. They are also familiar with the Firefox team on weekdays. Knowing that the captain of the Firefox team announced a few days ago that his former players participated in the NBA draft and were selected, they thought he was in the NBA draft. Bragging, I didn't expect it to be true.

"I heard that this guy turned out to be a player for the University of Wisconsin Badgers."

"Didn't the draft report say he didn't play in college?"

"Later expelled from the University of Wisconsin..."

"..."

……

The second game of the preseason was against the Bucks, also at home.

Two days after the game, after Stan Van Gundy had a day off, he called all the Heat players for daily training the next day.

Yang Di hummed a little tune and walked into the locker room. There was no one in the locker room.

His locker was next to Wade's. After putting down his headphones, he changed into his jersey, and then put on his new Joe XVIII.

The [-]th generation of Jordan was released last season when Jordan retired. The tongue and both sides of the ankle are made of metal mesh material. The overall feel of the sneakers is excellent, and Yang Di is very comfortable to wear.

After the change, the locker room door opened and Grant walked in.

Just as Yang Di was about to go out, he met him face to face. The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the disgust in each other's eyes. Then Yang Di turned his head and walked out the door. Grant didn't respond, and the two of them acted like strangers. People pass by.

When Yang Di walked into the training hall, two staff members had already come to wipe the floor and equipment. He twisted his body, first ran around the court twice, and then took a basketball, practicing crotch dribbling while walking Go under the half-court basket, and then shoot blindly by yourself.

After a while, Grant and Odom walked in hand in hand, talking and laughing.

Odom's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Di, and he greeted Yang Di with a smile, "Yang, you came early!"

"Yes, Lamar."

Yang Di put away the basketball and responded to Odom. The relationship between him and Odom is still good. The generosity of Odom left a deep impression on Yang Di that day. In addition, he also really realized what is called Big deal.

Then, Wade, Butler, Haslem and others also walked in one by one, and the training hall gradually became lively.

Head coach Stan Van Gundy had his staff bring in two piles of vests, one red and one yellow.

"Do 5-on-5 full-court confrontation training today!" Assistant coach Walker and the Heat players said, "Stan and I are on the same team, and the time is limited to 10 minutes."

"OK!" The players answered in unison.

"Russell (Butler), Dwyane (Wade), Lamar (Odom), Ruff (Alston), Malik (Allen), Yang Di and my team." Walker smiled Roll call, and then took Yang Di and others to halftime.

The rest of Bimbo Coles, Eddie Jones, John Wallace, Caron Butler, Haslem, Grant and Lauren Woods are staying put and ready to listen to coach Van Gundy. command.

The starting players were divided into two teams, and Yang Di and others put on yellow vests.

"Even the most common daily 5-on-5 confrontation training, the intensity of the confrontation is very high. After all, you are all NBA players. What I want to say is that everyone should maintain concentration and pay attention to rebounds in the game. Still Yes, be careful and don't get hurt." Walker didn't arrange any tactics, and after a few simple instructions, he let the players go on the field to warm up.

Another assistant coach, Erik Spoelstra, was the referee for the practice.

Spoelstra is a Filipino. He joined the Heat in 95 and worked as a video coordinator for two years. In 99, he became an assistant coach. In 01, he became the director of scouting and assistant coach.

This year, Spoelstra is only 33 years old, which can be described as young and promising.

Of course, before Stan Van Gundy became the head coach of the team, the three of them were actually assistant coaches of the Heat, and each had their own set of ideas about basketball.

It's a breeze to do a good job of blowing free throws.

Yang Di still became a substitute, and Odom beat Grant with a jump, and then Alston dribbled the ball across the half court and found Wade on the wing.

Odom dribbled the ball with his left hand, feinted, turned his right foot to the baseline, and then exerted force after finding a support point with his left foot.

A beautiful fadeaway jump shot, the basketball hits the board and goes into the frame. Grant didn't jump up and couldn't defend it.

The red team attacked, and veteran Bimbo handed the ball to Caron after halftime. Caron hooked his fingers and asked Grant to come out and set him a pick-and-roll.

Butler changed direction in front of his body after using the pick-and-roll, and shot directly after shaking a little space, which was also hit. 2 to 2.

"See, Haslem didn't defend the ball well." Walker and Yang Di, who was also sitting on the sidelines, said, "Look, if Haslem's ball goes up the moment Butler breaks through A little bit, it may interfere with Butler's breakthrough, his position is too inside, giving Butler room to change direction."

"How to grasp the best point of defensive breakthrough and defensive shooting is the most important thing for a defensive player to learn."

Yang Di nodded. What Walker said is very reasonable. Every player has different defensive habits. According to their own physical conditions and reactions, the defensive and offensive choices they make on the field should also be different.

But he was depressed that Haslem actually became the starter in the red team, and he was still a substitute, so he was heartbroken.
