0005: Janissary with a knife
The Bruins, like NBA teams, have always had a locker room tradition of 'bullying' rookies.
However, what is happening so far is definitely the most 'unique' welcome ceremony that Kevin Love has ever seen.
Darren Collisson, who took the initiative, actually knelt down, and was so painful that he burst into tears, almost fainting.
In the end, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't see it and pleaded with Duge, Duge wouldn't let him go at all.
Even so, Duge asked him to write a confession with his left hand and press his handprints before going with him to the bathroom to soak in cold water to open superglue.
By the time the superglue melted, Darren Collisson's right hand broke free, already pinched and squeezed into a ball.
In fact, Dugg didn't use all his strength, nor did he deliberately crush his bones.
But even so, tonight, he must have slept with pain.
"You give me a memory!! Snoopy the Dog!! I'll definitely get my revenge back. β
Darren Collison slashed his words viciously and turned to leave.
Dugg didn't bother to talk to him.
He has long seen through Darren Collison, he is a typical black man who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and his IQ is not high.
"Huh, revenge? If you dare to go back to the dormitory tonight to sleep, I'll count you as a kind. β
Dugg dismissively returned to the computer, and was about to play another game with Kevin Love, when Kevin Love received a call from his father, Stan Love, saying that an NBA scout had come and asked him to hurry home.
Kevin Love, like Darren Collisson, is planning to participate in the 2008 draft: Darren Collison is currently ranked 15th in the top three draft sites, followed by Kevin Love, in 17th place.
Westbrook is still on the sidelines, as he didn't play much in his freshman year and didn't play well enough. If you rashly announce your participation in the draft, it is very likely that you will not be selected. He's waiting for his chance to make a name for himself in the upcoming March Crazy National Championship.
NBA Draft?
Dugg didn't think about it at all, he played a game, turned off the computer, and went back to bed.
A dreamless night and very quiet.
Westbrook, Kevin Love and Darren Collison didn't return.
At noon the next day, after completing all the courses in the business school, Dugg immediately went to the basketball hall.
Under Leon Bob's arrangement, he began to do stretching and foot movement training.
Dugg's current situation is that he has a lot of power, a lot of positioning ability, and a lot of dribbling ability on the spot. Other than that, all the technology about basketball is a loophole. However, the priority now is to train the coordination skills, at least not as clumsy as they are now.
Bob was a big fan of Dugg, the kid was polite, funny, and most importantly, open to experimentation. Unlike those star players who aspire to play in the NBA, they are worried about sports injuries at every turn, which will affect the future draft market. Even Russell, he's now starting to reject those high-intensity training programs.
Only puppies, puppies are truly scientific people.
Leon Bob has now transferred all his love to the puppy, as he may never find another 'idiot' willing to lie on a yoga ball while also pushing up 84 kilograms.
Only this guy can complete his own comprehensive training plan.
In fact, Dugg also knew that Bob was 'messing around', and his so-called 'comprehensive scientific and balanced training' sounded like a pyramid scheme. However, Dugg doesn't care, he just wants to make his body less stiff through high-intensity training now.
Bench press while rolling a yoga ball is really effective.
Two people with unique goals and needs hit it off.
At half past three in the afternoon, Coach Ben Holland walked in. Saw Dugg being hung upside down by Leon Bob to make a upright pass to catch the ball.
Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed.
He felt compelled to find a time to have a good chat with Leon Bob, after all, this was the UCLA men's basketball team, not an acrobatic group.
"Snoopy, come to the pitch in five minutes and we're going to have a full-court drill."
He said to Duge.
"Okay."
Duge hurriedly agreed. In order to stay here and receive professional physical training, something has to be done.
Leon Bob reluctantly put the 'experiment' down, and Dugg walked to the court, where all 13 UCLA players expired.
Defensive coach Nolan introduced before the start of the group match: "This new rookie is Duge, and the Chinese name is a little strange, so you can call him Snoopy." β
The team laughed.
Of course, Darren Collison certainly couldn't laugh.
His right hand still hurts faintly.
After a brief briefing, Duge donned the yellow vest that represented the substitute side.
Dugg didn't know every teammate. But he saw that Kevin Love, Darren Collisson, Bamot and Holiday were all wearing white jerseys, and they were the main team. Russell Westbrook is the substitute.
At the beginning of the game, Dugg was not placed on the court.
Coach Nolan deliberately called Dug aside, and he explained to Dug in detail the tactical movement and technical movements on the court.
"What Leonard did for Russell Westbrook just now was to block and cover, and he stood with both feet outside the three-point line to provide Westbrook with a barrier and make it easier for him to get rid of Darren Collisson's defense."
"Remember, you can't move your feet when you're covering. Once you move, you will be blown for a foul by the referee. β
Coach Nolan explained very seriously.
Dugg also knew a little bit about the rules of basketball in the past, and listening to him say this, he understood it even better.
After all, he is a super student of IQ146.
Learning this kind of rule is actually no more difficult for him than a schoolboy with binary equations.
So, when Coach Nolan explained how to move, he was already thinking about whether there was a problem with Leonard's position just now...... He could have stood at a 45-degree angle to the left of the basket, so... It both blocks Darren Collisson's defense with a larger cross-section and creates a straight path for Westbrook to dash forward: between two points, the straight line is the shortest, isn't it?
"Look. Anderson's position, he's smart, he stands in the paint area early, he stabilizes the back area, not only does it keep Bamot from getting in early, but he also has plenty of rebounding space. β
"Remember, when you're under-heightened. You can only gain a height disadvantage by expanding your defensive range. So, that's what I mean by being stable in the next handicap! β
As soon as he finished speaking, Bamot directly turned around the card position of substitute forward Anderson, and Darren Collison just put the basketball into it, he jumped high and stuffed the basketball directly into the basket.
Roar!!
Bamot let out a smug roar from the depths of the box.
"Anderson's bottom was so shaky that he didn't limit Bamot's movements. He should have been a little further back. β
Nolan said from a defensive point of view.
Dugg didn't think so, he felt that starting from Archimedes' law, when the strength is smaller than the other side, you should try to retract as much as possible and keep enough leverage distance, so as to guard the water and soil of one side.
Of course, he didn't tell Nolan about these understandings, God knows if Nolan had learned Archimedes' laws, black people don't always like the mathematicians or physicists in Europe, they are more interested in Marilyn Monroe or BeyoncΓ©'s ass.
Nolan went on to explain the slots and covers.
Dugg's curiosity doesn't stop there.
He asked: "Why is it that only the outside players pass the ball inside and no inside players pass the ball out of the line?" Theoretically, the best place to pass the ball is under the basket, the court is in the shape of an arc fan, and the ball can be passed out from this position under the basket, which can reach every corner and the distance is the shortest. β
Nolan thought for a moment, then replied, "Snoopy, I probably won't be able to answer your question. Whether it's math or physics, I'm a mess. All I know is that the percentage of shots under the basket is the highest, and generally speaking, as long as you get into the paint, the vast majority of them will choose to shoot. β
"Oh!"
Dugg nodded.
After being silent for a while, he asked again: "Why don't the interior players break through with the ball directly?" They have a bigger stride and are more of a threat to the basket as they go. Passing the ball only increases the risk. β
"Because the center of gravity of the big man is relatively high, it is easy to be intercepted by steals, and even in the NBA, there are not many interior players who will directly launch a quick offense." Nolan replied.
Nolan then asked, "Snoopy, what type of player do you want to be in the future?" β
Dugg thought for a moment and said, "If I find joy in basketball and want to keep playing basketball." I want me to be able to attack directly from the backcourt and grab rebounds in the box. I was able to guide my teammates from any corner of the half, and I enjoyed the feeling of guiding the whole team forward. β
"It's like when I'm solving an Olympiad, I always like to start with the big picture and then start with the details."
Du Ge replied seriously: "So, if you really want to find a position for me, I hope it is a guard with a knife!" β
To be honest, Nolan didn't get it.
But he looked at Dug's figure.
Snoopy, he thought to himself, would have too much trouble trying to get a foothold on the basketball court. He is only 193 tall, and although he has a long arm span, he is also very strong. However, there are more shortcomings, no ability to hold the ball, no shooting ability, no basketball experience, and relatively slow movement reflexes, so he can only be a temporary meat shield. When Douglas returns, he's going to have to leave the team.
