Chapter 866: The First Meeting with Teacher Yue
After winning the Asian Games with the men's basketball team, Qin Yan's national team career is temporarily over, and he needs to return to San Antonio to prepare for the new season.
To be honest, he was almost hugged and dropped in the quarterfinals, which made the team doctor and others on the Spurs' side also frightened, and almost Qin Yan may be reimbursed for the season.
But fortunately, after returning to San Antonio, after careful examination, Qin Yan's physical condition is good, there is no hidden injury risk, the only problem is that he may have participated in too many games and is a little tired.
"Relax, go back and get some rest."
The team doctor's advice to Qin Yan is this, now he doesn't need to do anything, just rest well to welcome the new season.
Of course, for Qin Yan, he must not be idle.
After only two days of rest, he came to the team's training gym.
The Spurs' training hall is quite lively right now, because Popovich didn't know what to do and fished Jokic from Europe in advance.
Now, this big white fat man is busy in the Spurs training gym for his fitness plan.
On this day, when Qin Yan wandered to the team training hall in broad daylight, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a big fat man running on the treadmill with two fleshy arms exposed, sweating profusely and panting.
"Hmm...... Who is that fat man? ”
Qin Yan was a little puzzled, he didn't feel who this thing was for the time being, so he turned his head and asked the staff on the side.
"Qin, that's this year's newcomer, who was called over by the coach to train."
There happened to be a staff member on the side, and he had also watched Jokic train for several days, so he knew where this person came from.
Oh? This year's newcomer, Qin Yan understood at once, then this fat man must be Jokic, after all, the sledgehammer is very thin......
"Nikolai?"
Qin Yan tried to call Jokic, seeing that this thing kept running like this, he really felt sorry for him.
"Ah, ah, Qin, hello!"
Jokic was running, and suddenly there was a figure in front of Leng Buding, and after a closer look, I went, and I was actually the future boss of the team!
This paid off, the simple little fat man quickly stopped the treadmill, and then greeted Qin Yan respectfully.
"Don't be so nervous, our team doesn't do that, since you entered this door, you will be brothers from now on." Qin Yan patted Jokic on the shoulder, with a "big brother" expression.
"Yes, yes......"
It may be that newcomers are more shy, so under Qin Yan's greeting that seems too "intimate", Jokic seems a little unbearable.
"Oh, you're boring to practice like this, right, come on, let me see what you're capable of." Qin Yan took the initiative to ask Jokic to fight.
"Ah, me, me?"
Jokic is a little flattered, after all, this kind of boss battle is an affirmation of the strength of the rookie, and if the rookie's strength is not enough, it is impossible to make the team's excellent ace interested.
Although Qin Yan is not the boss of the Spurs on the surface, everyone understands that he will definitely be the top name of the Spurs in the future.
Now, the top brand actually sent an invitation to him to learn?
Oh my God, Jokic suddenly felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
You know, he's just the last player in the round, and with the defending champion Spurs picking him, Jokic has been worried about whether he has the right place on the team.
Now, he seems to have been affirmed by Qin Yan after being asked to fight, so he should be able to keep his seat in the NBA and not be devolved to the Austin Spurs in the NBDL, right?
"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze?" Qin Yan was already ready under the basket, but when he turned his head and saw that Jokic was still stupidly on the edge of the treadmill, he could only remind him in desperation. "Don't worry, I'll play with you on the inside, and I won't use the technology on the outside."
This kid, it's not okay to be so nervous, you're the one who will take Duncan's place in the future!
"Ah, here it is."
Jokic is still nervous, and he walks a little with his hands and feet.
Qin Yan is 202 cm tall and Jokic is 208 cm tall, there is a difference in height between the two, but it is not too big, especially in front of Qin Yan's perverted arm length and bounce, this 6 cm gap is not a problem at all.
It's just that Jokic is still very fat now, and the preliminary estimate is that he should still be more than 120 kilograms (127 kilograms at the time of the draft), and he is more than one level more than Qin Yan in terms of weight, and he is still an insider.
From this point of view, Qin Yan seems to suffer a lot against Jokic if he only plays the inside line.
But think about it, if Qin Yan is allowed to attack from the outside, then the current Jokic will have no second result except for being beaten into a sieve.
Jokic came to the basket and took the ball with his back.
"Come on, use all your energy, let me see your strength."
Qin Yan walked behind Jokic, gently raised his hand behind him, and then began to admonish.
"Hey, Qin, the team doctor said, you need to rest now."
The staff of the training hall saw Qin Yan's performance here, and hurriedly rushed out, ready to stop him.
"Oops, it's okay, it's just a matter of trying Nikolai's level, and besides, I've been resting for days, and if I rest again, I'll be rusty all over."
Qin Yan hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem.
Jokic naturally cherishes this rare opportunity, and he starts shaking directly after getting the ball, and Jokic prefers to use technique to solve problems rather than force back play.
After a series of shaking, Jokic suddenly turned around, squeezed his body under the basket, and then raised his hand to prepare for the layup!
"Oh?"
Qin Yan basically didn't work hard, just watched him perform, if Jokic went to the basket directly, then Qin Yan would be a little disappointed, because at this time, if there is an arm-long bouncing inside, he can jump up directly and cleanly take down the cap from behind.
However, Jokic obviously has more than that, just when Qin Yan thought he was about to raise his hand to the basket, he suddenly put the ball back again, spun around again quickly, and went around the basket to the other side of the basket, and then changed hands and threw the ball out with a small hook!
"Bang-boom-"
Hit cricket to score!
Although Qin Yan released the water, this set of actions has already reflected Jokic's good basic skills under the basket.
"Whew~"
Jokic also felt relieved to score this goal, in fact, he didn't want to spin and stride again, but I don't know why, just when he was about to shoot directly, he suddenly felt that it would be disappointing (god-like intuition), so he temporarily added a spin to score the ball.
"Yes, it's interesting, I won't let you do it next." Qin Yan looked at Jokic with a smile, his performance just now was very good, but what Qin Yan wanted to see was more than that......
