Chapter 14
"Huh? Did Gordon also play? It's really early today, so I finally don't have to listen to this kid call and complain to me tonight!"

In the Butler University basketball team, in the head coach's office, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance was watching the live broadcast of the preseason game between the Jazz and the Mavericks on the computer.

This middle-aged man is none other than Brad Stevens, the upstart head coach who has recently gained fame in the NCAA!

This year's "March Madness", Brad Stevens led the little-known Butler University to rush out like a dark horse, from the top 64 all the way to the finals, and won the first championship in the history of the Butler University team. The talent in layout has aroused the interest of many NBA teams, and he is infinitely close to becoming the youngest head coach in NBA history.

Today was supposed to be the day when the new players of the Butler University basketball team joined the team, but he put all these things aside. The reason is naturally that his two most proud disciples, Gordon Hayward and Lin Yang, will meet for the first time in the NBA today.
"Sure enough! Lin's talent in passing the ball must be fully displayed in the NBA!" This is what Stevens said after Lin Yang's pass that surprised everyone. He and Hayward have the same expression as usual. In his opinion, it is not surprising that Lin Yang made such a pass.

"The old man is a bit bad!"

Watching Gordon Hayward play, Stevens was relieved to finally not have to listen to Hayward complaining about not being able to play, and then began to complain about Jerry Sloan.

The old man obviously knew that Lin Yang and Hayward were from the same school. Now when Lin Yang performed so well, Hayward was allowed to play just to see his ability to withstand pressure.

It's not that I didn't give you the opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it now.

It is foreseeable that if Hayward performs too poorly, his playing time in the regular season may be a bit embarrassing.

Speaking of which, the older generation of head coaches have some stinky problems that are criticized. The "magic operator" Pakley likes devil training. Even if he wins, he likes to let the players practice to death, and then he was forced by the "Magic" Johnson to leave Los Angeles.Larry Brown prefers the same type of players. For example, he likes to use big Ben in the Pistons, and Mutombo in the 76ers. Later, he traded Tyson Chandler for the Bobcats.

It is worth mentioning that many fans backed up Milicic's confession later, saying that Larry Brown would not train rookies. In fact, this statement is completely unreasonable, because Larry Brown does not know how to use this type of insider. In his impression, the insider has no tonnage and cannot defend.

As for his insulting remarks, this is a matter of character and cannot be confused with the level of coaching. "Big Bug" Rodman was also fished out of prison back then, and he had a lot of troubles when he entered the league, so we can't deny his achievements on the basketball court.

***
When Gordon Hayward played, he was both excited and apprehensive. The excited part was that he was finally able to play so early, and the apprehensive part was that standing in front of him was Lin Yang, who knew him better than anyone else.

How to fight this battle?
"Complaining is still useful!" Lin Yang looked at him with a smile.

He rolled his eyes back.

The game restarts.

Lin Yang ran without the ball as usual, changed direction and reversed several times but still failed to shake Gordon Hayward away.

He knew Hayward, and Hayward knew him as well.

Especially his running without the ball, he played too many times, even Gordon Hayward could find him with his eyes closed.

"Dangdang!"

Without Lin Yang at the side to restrain him, Barea's rhythm became chaotic again. While disrupting the opponent's defense line, he also confused his teammates' running positions, and finally missed a hasty shot.

The Jazz counterattacked, Earl Watson controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Gordon Hayward was also running without the ball, and Lin Yang was also not left behind.

"ball!"

But Gordon Hayward didn't care. After slipping from the bottom line, he ran to the other side of the three-point line and asked for the ball directly. Watson never found a chance. Seeing that Hayward was so active, he passed it.

"Shh!"

Hayward caught the ball and shot it, and the ball fell to the basket.

"No problem, this is Gordon's rhythm!" Stevens looked at Hayward's crisp goal and nodded with satisfaction. Even though he had just entered the league, Hayward's catch-and-shoot ability is definitely above the NBA level.

"Oh, our rookie scored first!"

The assistant coach standing next to Jerry Sloan yelled in surprise. Although Jerry Sloan didn't speak, he nodded slightly. Obviously he was also very satisfied with Gordon Hayward's goal.

"Lin, you are a bit slow!" Hayward was excited.

"I don't think there was anything wrong with my defense just now!" Lin Yang curled his lips. He didn't miss the ball, but Hayward's shooting rhythm was like this.

"Damn Chinese people, do you see that? This is the gap between No. 8 and No. 26. Get out of the NBA!" The white man finally seized the opportunity, stood up from his seat, and cursed at Lin Yang.

"When did you provoke this mad dog?" Hayward glanced at the white audience with some frowns. Although he was a Jazz player, Lin Yang was his best friend.

"Until now!" Lin Yang raised his mouth, "But I have a way to shut him up!"

"what?"

Hayward was taken aback, but Lin Yang moved.

"Depend on!"

Hayward didn't expect Lin Yang to start suddenly, and cursed, but just as he was about to chase, he bumped into a wall of people head-on.

Off-ball screens?

"Bah!"

Lin Yang, who ran out of space, caught the ball, rushed to the basket, and successfully dunked with one hand!
"Wow oh oh oh!"

The Mavericks are an old team. It is a bit difficult to see dunks other than Tyson Chandler.

Lin Yang's dunk made them all feel much younger.

"Bah!"

Amid the cheers from all the Mavericks, Lin Yang returned to defense, walked up to the white man and woman, and celebrated with perfume again.

"Bah!"

The difference is that this time there are two bottles...
