NBA villain

Chapter 96
The NBA is sometimes like this. The growth of self-confidence comes from countless successful verifications.

"Awesome!" Yang Di raised his hands high, and he couldn't believe it. Although he was able to make some mid-range shots during training, it was the first time in his career that he made a mid-range shot in a regular game.

Antonio, who was defending him, looked at him suspiciously, and was a little uncertain whether he hit him or really had this ability, but if he was lucky, this shooting posture is really soft.

In the second quarter, the Heat, who led by 3 points on the field, continued to cooperate with the pick and roll.

Alston turned to the left, and Yang Di went down after dismantling. There was no chance to screen, and Alstom handed over to Caron Butler on the wing to handle the basketball.

"Be careful to break through on the right!" The Knicks coach reminded the defensive players.

As soon as the words fell, Butler dribbled the ball sideways and passed the defensive player. The NBA's time-lag dribble is particularly effective. Butler knows how to do it, and the mid-range emergency stop jumper.

Missed, the rebound bounced towards Yang Di.

Yang Di was overjoyed, and was about to take off when he suddenly found that there were two players sandwiched between one another, and he was surrounded like a sandwich!

Then he worked up his strength and managed to squeeze Antonio away, but the rebound had been protected by other Knicks players.

Yang Di clapped his hands, it was a pity that he didn't grab this offensive rebound.

Retreating, the Knicks made a three-pointer from the outside, and the two teams tied for 26.

When the Heat were attacking, Caron Butler gave Yang Di a wink. Yang Di didn't understand it, but when he saw Caron pouted and pointed to the left, he suddenly understood.

With both hands down, Yang Di made an off-ball running screen for Caron Butler in the position of the left elbow.

The quality of the screen is very high. After Butler receives the ball from Alston, he controls the ball with his right hand and shoots to the right. Antonio immediately delays Butler's dribble. di.

Yang Di caught the ball at the bottom line, took a deep breath, bent his knees and raised his arms.

Looking at the basket with piercing eyes, with a focused and serious expression, his wrists turned outwards, his arms lifted the basketball over his head, and his five fingers moved the basketball together. The basketball suddenly spun and flew out, drawing a parabola in the air with neither high nor low.

"Impossible to enter!" Antonio McDyess looked at the basketball and muttered to himself.

"Shh!"

The basketball passed through the heart and rolled up a net flower.

"Unbelievable!" The Heat's bench was even more excited. Wade made a gesture of raising his hand to shoot, Odom pointed his index fingers to the sky with both hands, and Yang Di scored a mid-range shot, which was more exciting than their own dunk.

"When did he master this skill of catching and jumping!" The head coach of the Knicks glanced at Stan Van Gundy with resentful eyes. He felt that Yang Di must have used this trick a long time ago, but the Heat It's just that there is no arrangement for such a tactical coordination, and the Knicks are suddenly used against them. What kind of hatred is there.

Stan Van Gundy was also at a loss. The first time he hit it, the second shot was obviously prepared. Could it be that Yang Di has really mastered the ability of mid-range jumpers?His free throws are obviously still very bad!

McDyess didn't dare to push it any further, and kept staring at Yang Di, for fear that he would hit the middle distance above his head again.

When Yang Di was deliberately marked by the old guy, he naturally didn't have many chances. He didn't have much confidence in shooting under interference, and his teammates would not pass him the ball in this situation, so he stopped.

Butler, who got enough space, made a breakthrough and made all the step-back jumpers. The Heat played a wave of 8-3 in the second quarter, and the Knicks immediately requested a timeout.

At this moment, Stan Van Gundy was also in a turbulent state. He still remembered Yang Di's frizzy appearance at the beginning of the season.But during that time, Grant was injured, and Lauren Woods was embarrassed. He could only drive ducks to the shelves and let Yang Di play many opportunities.

During that period of time, Yang Di made rapid progress, not only completing the tasks assigned, but also often being able to play bright spots on the court.

Up to now, Yang Di's progress on the defensive end has been particularly obvious. Whether it is against the ball holder or against players without the ball, whether it is close defense or assist defense, Yang Di has found his own rhythm and is very active.

So even if there is less than 10 minutes of playing time, the efficiency is very high.If he can continue to improve like this, how far can he reach?
"Good job." Stan Van Gundy offered to reach out.

Yang Di froze for a moment, then smiled and gave him a high five.

Seeing this scene, Grant's expression became even worse. When he thought of Yang Di's age of less than 20 years old, he felt a deep threat.

After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the field, and Wade appeared on the stage.

Yang Di played for another 3 minutes and took a break with 6 minutes and 14 seconds left in the second quarter. At this time, he scored 6 points and 3 rebounds, shooting 100%.

Yang Di sat down on the court, and his task was completed.

He took the white towel handed over by the staff, wiped off the sweat on his shoulders and face, then took a sip of a glass of water, and chatted with Malik Allen and others beside him.

"Antonio was very fierce before, but his status has declined sharply due to injuries in the past two years."

"Really, he doesn't look very old." Yang Di said.

Malik Allen said: "It's about 28 or nine years old. I don't know very well. He is a member of the Dream Team [-]. I don't know if he can regain his form."

"Injuries are more severe than tigers. As a professional athlete, what I am most afraid of is encountering inexplicable injuries. Some of them can be recovered, some will have shadows after recovery, and some are difficult to recover at all." Malik Ah Lun sighed, and said sincerely to Yang Di: "Yang, you are still young, but you have to learn to protect your body. I heard that you are always the first to come to the arena for training, and then practice every day. It is very late, although there has been sufficient progress, but it is also necessary to check your body well to avoid overwork and injury."

Yang Di nodded, Malik's words were very pertinent.But what he wants to say is that he has now obtained the system reward item "magic boiled water" - a [-]% cure for a serious injury.He felt that this was simply a gold medal for avoiding death. As long as he didn't die on the court, he could have revived himself immediately, which was nothing.

And Yang Di felt that with such a strong body and strength, he should be the type that is difficult to get injured.

"By the way, why did your shooting suddenly become so good? Didn't you hear from George's trainer that you changed your shooting style?" Malik Allen asked curiously.

"It's okay, I haven't improved much. I can shoot, but the shooting speed is relatively slow. Just now on the field, the opponent didn't defend me. If someone interferes, I can't make a shot at all." Yang Di said modestly.

Yang Di continued: "Hand shape has been adjusted since entering the NBA. I have been watching some shooting videos of 90s players, and I want to learn some growth experience from them. I probably got the hang of it recently. I feel that my shots have softened several times. The grade, the hit rate immediately went up."

"It's amazing." Malik showed envy. Yang Di's progress is really infuriating. How easy is it to practice shooting?Many insiders in the NBA who focus on exercising their bodies and muscles will only be able to dunk at the basket with one trick by the time they retire, and their free throw percentage will be less than [-]%.
