One Guard

Chapter 58 : Another guy with yellow skin

Yiyang stood behind everyone, and only the Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle’s voice was on this huge training ground. On the first day after the players returned, Carlisle, the coach, made a speech that was an annual “reserved program.”

Different from Yiyang’s imagination, Carlisle, as an NBA-level coach, did not tell the players that we must win this year and we must win the championship. The coach’s calm tone was even softer than the young Stevens.

Yiyang looked down at his jersey, and the word on his chest was no longer “Butler”, but changed to “”. The people around him are no longer the Hayward, Matt, Shervin he is familiar with…

All this made Yiyang feel a little uncomfortable. Don’t look at the coldness on the surface of this kid, but he is always a human being, not a cold-blooded animal. The experience of working hard to win the championship with you at Butler University is definitely something that Yiyang will never forget in this life. Now that he has suddenly moved from a team he loves very much to an unfamiliar group, Yiyang really misses his days in Butler.

“…Okay, one last thing. You have also noticed that a new face has appeared in our team this year. Also! Come out and say something to everyone!” Coach Rick Carlisle shouted With a sound, everyone turned their sides and made way for Yiyang, who was standing at the back.

This sudden “sneak attack” made Yiyang stunned. He looked at the new teammates standing on both sides of him, everyone was staring at him, and Yiyang instantly became the focus of the entire training ground.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yiyang is the most important signing for the Mavericks this summer. What this kid can bring to the Mavericks is also the most concerned issue for other players.

Under the eyes of everyone, Yiyang slowly walked to Carlisle. The training ground is very quiet, because everyone is waiting for this young man to speak.

Yiyang looked at everyone, he even found that Kidd was encouraging himself with a smile. But this boy, who doesn’t talk much, doesn’t want to stay in front for too long.

“Hello everyone, my name is Yiyang, and I am looking forward to working with everyone.” After finishing such a simple sentence, Yiyang turned his head and looked at Carlisle. Carlisle also stared at Yiyang, and the two looked at each other in silence. For a while.

After several seconds, Carlisle reacted violently. Is this kid finished? As a rookie, shouldn’t he say something impassioned? For example, “I will work very hard to help the team win”, or “I am very eager to play with everyone and learn from it!”

But none of these are in Yiyang. Yiyang still stared at Carlisle, Carlisle nodded awkwardly, and Yiyang returned to the crowd.

“Um…very good, the young man is really energetic…Well, everyone, please take care of him. Come to our team this year, but it will play a huge role. Get ready. I’m going to resume training right away. I don’t want to see you all with big bellies in the pre-season training camp more than a month later.” Rick Carlisle has heard Kuban say that this kid Yiyang is very Have personality. But he still didn’t expect Yiyang to be a reticent type.

In any case, as long as Yiyang can play his expertise on the basketball court, then he is a good player in the eyes of Carlisle. Except for the performance on the basketball court, other things are not the most important.

“Hey, kid, are you nervous?” Yiyang picked up the basketball on the ground and was about to warm up for a shot, but a person called him from behind.

Yiyang turned his head and looked around. The person who came was not tall and his body was not particularly strong. This black player with earrings and a playful smile is like a gangster in the Wood District!

As a fan, Yiyang naturally knows who the person greets him is. Jason Terry, nicknamed “The Jet.” Don’t look at this veteran on the basketball court conscientiously, but privately, he is the number one “bad boy” of the Mavericks.

“Not nervous.” Yiyang’s cold response made Terry smile happier. This guy always prefers the kind of guy who is not the same.

“People say that you are a genius, and the boss will even get you out of Butler. Maybe you don’t know, Butler and I are good buddies. On the basketball court, he and I are just a match made in heaven! I hope you His performance is worth letting Butler leave.” Terry finished speaking and passed the ball to Yiyang, indicating that he should hurry up and start training.

Yiyang walked by Terry holding the basketball, and didn’t even look at the airy defender.

“Hey, what are you doing? You are all your age, and like to scare rookies.” Kidd, who particularly likes Yiyang, walked to Terry’s side, watching Yiyang holding the basketball and starting to warm up his shots from the back. De felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to be lighter.

“I didn’t scare him, man. Maybe I would do it five years ago, but now, I’m not good at it.” Terry turned his head and smiled at Kidd. Both of them are already old… …Terry is no longer the rebellious “boy” back then.

“I just want to tell that kid in a different way that fits my style. He is really important to us. Maybe people can wait for him to take his time patiently when going to those big-bodied teams. But in Dallas, this The kid must be a blockbuster!” Terry put away his smile, this puzzle piece, I don’t know whether it is suitable or not.

The first day of training is mainly restorative training. Everyone has been playing for a summer, and sudden high-intensity training will only increase their risk of injury. So before the start of the pre-season training camp, Rick Carlisle must let these rich men adapt to the feeling of training.

But there is one exception, and that is Yiyang!

Since Yiyang has been training all summer, he didn’t need to adjust at all, and he entered the best competitive state directly.

While others are still pulling their muscles and bones under the guidance of the trainer, Yiyang can already hold the basketball and perform various exercises.

Terry looked at Yiyang, although on the surface he still had an expression of “you kid can’t do it”. But this “old villain” was already shocked by Yiyang’s performance.

“This kid is really only the third overall pick?” Terry whispered to Kidd beside him.

“It’s third, the Nets picked it for us.”

“Stupid!”

“Stupid?” Kidd thought Terry was saying that Cuban was stupid.

“This kid should be the top pick!” Terry responded with a grin.

The days of 　　 training camp passed day by day, and Yiyang also began to practice with his new teammates.

Soon after this, the summer league will be officially launched. Yiyang found that every time he visited the training ground in the past few days, there would always be a few new faces.

Before the start of the summer league, each team can recruit players to fight for themselves, as long as the final layoffs are 15 people. Therefore, Cuban also called in many guys who are eager to enter the NBA but need to prove their strength. Maybe, can you find a baby in this one?

Of course, the summer league tests are not just these fringe players. Yiyang, a first-year rookie, is also one of the objects of the summer league test. Even Wall, who is expensive as the champion, must pass the summer league first.

For other people participating in the summer league, Nowitzki and Terry still don’t care too much. Ke Yiyang’s performance in the summer league will definitely receive great attention from his teammates and coaches.

With the approach of the summer league, more and more people come to the Mavericks for training every day. Until two days before the start of the summer league, after Yiyang changed his clothes and stepped into the stadium, he saw a figure that made himself somewhat stunned.

“Hurry up! Pass it out, yes! Okay, shoot, shoot! Beautiful! Good job, Lin, this is how you should shoot!” On the training ground, fringe players have begun to conduct confrontational training.

Yiyang stood on the training field of the players being selected and looked at the opposite side. The guy who just scored the goal seemed…as if he had the same skin color as himself!

The guy on the training ground also seemed to realize that someone was looking at him. He turned his head, and after looking at Yiyang for a second, he showed a friendly smile.

“Yi, what are you looking at!?” Just as Yiyang looked at the yellow-skinned guy on the opposite side in a daze, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle walked to Yiyang’s side.

“No…nothing.”

“Also, starting from today, you first train with assistant coach Terry Stotts.” Carlisle said, pointing to the court on the opposite side.

Under normal circumstances, the summer league will not let the head coach of a team play in person. The team assistant coach will bring rookies and marginal players to form a temporary team to play in the summer league. Therefore, the teams participating in the summer league and the official team are also trained separately.

Yiyang has always been training with the main players of teams such as Nowitzki. But today, Blair wants him to go to another field to practice with people on the margins.

“No, I don’t mean to treat you as a marginal figure. It’s just that you have to play in the summer league in two days, and you have to practice with your temporary teammates. Perform well, kid. You and They are different. They may only ask for a job in the NBA, but you, you have to play well in the NBA! The summer league will be your first step!” Carlisle was afraid of Yiyang’s misunderstanding and hurriedly made it. Explanation.

Yiyang nodded, and ran toward another court obediently.

The yellow-skinned guy on the edge of the court looked very excited when Yiyang ran over. After all, on the NBA basketball court, it is rare that two guys with yellow skin appear at the same time. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

“You are here! Boy! Believe me, the summer league should be no problem for you. Don’t be nervous, just play well.” Assistant coach Terry Stott knows Yiyang’s training level. He and these marginal people are completely Not one level.

“Hey, my name is Jeremy Lin! In the summer league, we are teammates!” As soon as Stott finished speaking, the yellow-skinned guy who made him stunned enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and introduced himself.

“My name is…I’m Yiyang.” Yiyang also stretched out his hand and shook hands with this guy who has the same skin color as him. I don’t know why, but I can see another yellow-skinned guy on the basketball court, and Yiyang feels particularly affectionate.

“Jeremy! Since it has come, then I need you to change to the second position from now on, no problem!” Stoude knows that Yiyang is the focus of the team in the summer league. His playing position cannot be changed because of others. Although Jeremy Lin has always done well, but if he wants to start in the summer league, he must give up his position to Yiyang.

“No problem, sir!” The Asian named Jeremy Lin readily agreed. He knew that he had to seize any opportunity!

Looking at this guy with the same skin color beside him who was too excited, Yiyang didn’t know why, but also had some expectations for the painless summer league. After working hard for a summer, how much improvement did you make? How much trouble can a backcourt composed of two yellow-skinned guys set off on the basketball court? Anyway, I haven’t played a game for a long time. Since I want to play, of course I have to be very popular!

The backcourt double shots of the Dallas Summer League team are ready to make their reputation this summer!
