NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

"Hoohoo!"

On the court, Ling Yang wiped his sweat, then exhaled lightly.

He finished another game.

in the training space of the system.

It has to be said that the system is really good, and the training and competition are very real. Every time Ling Yang has the feeling of being on the scene, whether it is the atmosphere of the competition or the real feeling of the body, it is no different from playing an official competition. Sincerely.

After thinking about the fact that he has trained for ten games in a row, Ling Yang exited the system and returned to reality.

The systematic training did not have any effect on the actual body, Ling Yang felt a little mentally exhausted the moment he quit.

However, this kind of mental exhaustion is not obvious. After logging out of the system and resting for a while, it will return to normal.

Since the opening of the system's training function, Ling Yang has frantically entered into simulated confrontation.

In more than a week, he has simulated nearly [-] games.

The main reason is that the system has an upper limit. It can only simulate 20 games a day. Otherwise, Lingyang may have completed thousands of games.

But even so, Ling Yang is completely different from before the draft.

These more than 100 games are not watching videos, but real simulations, and they are all played against top NBA teams, so although Ling Yang has not played a single NBA game at this time, the game experience in his consciousness has already There are more than two seasons.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Ling Yang participated in the competition in the training camp now, his performance would definitely be several levels higher.

After finishing the simulation training, Ling Yang packed up two sets of clothes and walked out of the hotel room.

The first thing Ling Yang needs to do after entering the Suns is to represent the team in this year's summer league.

As a game for training newcomers, the summer league is naturally impossible to be coached by head coach Mike D'Antoni.

But the Suns also took it very seriously, and arranged for their chief assistant, Alvin Gentry, to lead the team.

Ling Yang was the first to arrive at the hotel lobby. Not long after he arrived, Gentry appeared in the lobby.

"coach!"

Ling Yang said hello, Gentry nodded, seeing that the other players hadn't arrived yet, Gentry immediately said to Ling Yang:

"Ling, you are the only player on the team with a formal contract in the summer league. I will arrange more tactics around you during the game. You should cherish the opportunity and adapt to the game as soon as possible."

"Okay, coach!" Ling Yang responded immediately.

The main purpose of the summer league is to train the rookies of the first and second grades. As for the Suns, Ling Yang is the only rookie in the 05 rookie. Before the 04 rookie, there were no players because of the trade.

So now, only Ling Yang is the player who holds the official contract of the team. This is indeed a very good opportunity for him.

While the two were talking, the rest of the players arrived one after another, and they got on the bus together and headed to the arena.

The 05 NBA Summer League has four divisions, Las Vegas Summer League, Southern California Summer League, Minnesota Summer League and Rocky Mountain Summer League.

The Suns were divided into the Las Vegas Summer Division, and the opponent in the first game was the Celtics.

When he came to the stadium, he looked at his teammates beside him, and then at the Celtics on the opposite side. Ling Yang couldn't help sighing a little in his heart.

"This is not an order of magnitude at all!"

For the Suns, Ling Yang is a small forward, and the two insiders are 2-meter-tall center Jared Reiner, a 11 undrafted player who played briefly for the Bulls last season and is currently a free agent.

The Suns urgently need to strengthen their insiders this season, so they invited some young insiders to participate in the summer league, and Reina is one of them.

Another insider is Pat Burke, who is also 2 meters tall, well, another undrafted pick, and it was also undrafted in 11.

He stayed in the Magic for one season from 02 to 03, and has been in the Development League for the past two years.

On the guard line, the 1-meter-tall Ricky Poulding is a shooting guard. This is finally a draft player. He was selected by the Pistons with the 96th overall pick in the second round in the summer of 2004.

But the Pistons have never chosen to sign with them, and this summer they even gave up the right to sign Rich Paulding, who began to come to the summer league to find a job.

At the point guard position, Andre Barrett, who is 1 meters tall, is another undrafted player. He stayed with the Rockets for a while last season and was invited by the Suns to play in the summer league after being unemployed in the summer.

These four people, Ling Yang, who is a veteran NBA fan, had no impression of them at all before this, so it is conceivable what their strength is.

On the other hand, the Celtics have a luxurious lineup in comparison.

The center position is the No. 04 pick in the first round of 15, Al Jefferson, who is 2 meters tall.

At the power forward position, Ryan Gomez, who is 2 meters tall, is the No. 03 rookie in the second round this year.

The swingman at positions 3 and 4 was placed at position 4 today.

At the small forward position, the Celtics sent Justin Reed, who is 2 meters tall, also a second-year student, the No. 03 pick in the second round of 04.

The shooting guard is an old acquaintance of Ling Yang, Gerald Green, who is 2 meters tall, was selected by the Celtics with the 03th pick in the first round of this year.

The point guard is Delonte West, who is 1 meters tall. He was the No. 93 pick in the first round of 04.

There are five starters, three of whom are first-round picks in the past two years, and two of whom are second-round picks in the past two years.

And in the previous life, Ling Yang remembered that all five of them, except for Justin Reed, had achieved some fame in the NBA.

Especially Al Jefferson, although last season's performance was not outstanding, but Ling Yang remembered that the opponent's peak season in the previous life was a player who averaged 20+10 per game.

Although the strength seems to be quite disparate, Ling Yang does not want to see a one-sided situation in the game.

Although there are only five summer league games, it is very important to Ling Yang.

This is a platform that allows the coaching staff to see his ability and potential more clearly.

Thinking of this, after Gentry simply arranged the tactics, Ling Yang said to the four teammates who were about to play with him:

"Guys, I have something to say."

Hearing Ling Yang speak, several players looked at him, with different expressions on their faces, but most of them didn't agree.

To be honest, they were not too convinced when Gentry deployed tactics just now to use Ling Yang as the core of the team.

Although Ling Yang is the 44th pick this year, they are all undrafted.

However, they knew the ins and outs of the whole matter, but they didn't think that Ling Yang, who was lucky, could afford the position of core.

They also didn't think that Ling Yang, who had never played a game, was really better than them.

Ling Yang clearly felt the subtle changes in the expressions of several people, but he didn't take it to heart, but continued to speak:

"Look who is on the opposite side? Some of them are important rotation players for the Celtics, and some are the new force that the team has high hopes for this year.

Look at us again?We're just a bunch of guys trying to find a place in the NBA!

Yes, they look stronger, they can take us lightly and not take this game to heart.

However, we can't, because these few games are an opportunity for each of us, a chance to stay in the NBA! "

When Ling Yang said this, he paused, and glanced at the four starting teammates, as well as the few substitute teammates on the periphery who he couldn't even name.

"So, show your [-]% effort! At least prove to the team that it is not wrong to give us a chance in the summer league!"

After speaking, Ling Yang turned around first and walked towards the court.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and put away their disapproving expressions on their faces, becoming a little more serious.

Although they are still not so convinced by Ling Yang, at least they admit that what Ling Yang said makes sense.

Seeing that the state and momentum of several people on the stage were different, Gentry who was on the side looked at Ling Yang with a little more appreciation.

He has long heard that Ling Yang has a good relationship with his teammates, so today he simply learned about it.

"Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to what this guy will do on the court."

Reminiscent of Ling Yang's defensive attitude when he participated in the team's trial training, and the situation of hard training these days, Gentry murmured to himself.

But I was a little worried in my heart, whether Ling Yang could adapt to the rhythm of the game without competition experience.
