The NBA is sometimes like that, and the growth of self-confidence comes from countless successful tests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Awesome!" Yang Di raised his hand high, he couldn't believe it, although he could throw some middle distance in training, but it was the first time in his career to throw middle distance in regular competitions.
Antonio, who was defending him, looked at him suspiciously, and he was a little unsure if he hit it or if he really had this ability, but if he was lucky, the shooting posture was really soft.
In the second quarter, the Heat, who led by 3 points on the court, continued to block and dismantle.
Alston changed to the left, Yang Di went down after the dismantling, and there was no cover for the opportunity, and Alston handed it to Caron Butler on the wing to handle the basketball.
"Watch out for a breakthrough on the right!" The Knicks' coach reminded the defenders.
As soon as the words fell, Butler dribbled sideways past the defender, and the NBA's time difference was particularly effective, and Butler knew how to make a mid-range pullup jumper.
missed, and the rebound bounced to Yang Di's side.
Yang Di was overjoyed and was about to jump, when he suddenly found that there were two players in front of him, and he was surrounded by people like a sandwich!
Then he worked hard to squeeze Antonio out, but the rebound was already protected by other Knicks players.
Yang Di clapped his hands, and it was a pity that he didn't grab this frontcourt rebound.
Retreating, the Knicks hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the two teams were tied at 26.
When the Heat position was attacking, Caron Butler gave Yang Di a look, Yang Di didn't understand, and when he saw Caron's mouth and pointed to the left, he suddenly understood.
With both hands down and left elbow, Young made a running cover for Caron Butler.
The quality of the cover was very high, after Butler received the ball from Alstom, he controlled the ball with his right hand and rushed to the right, Antonio immediately delayed Butler's dribble, Yang Di withdrew after blocking, and Butler was caught and passed back to Yang Di.
Yang Di received the ball at the baseline position, took a deep breath, bent his knees and raised his arms.
Looking at the basket with blazing eyes, his expression was focused and serious, his wrist turned out, his arm raised the basketball over his head, and his five fingers moved the basketball together, and the basketball suddenly spun and flew out, drawing a parabola in the air.
"It's impossible to get in!" Antonio McDyce looked at the basketball and muttered to himself.
"Huh!"
The basketball passed through the heart and rolled up a net.
"Unbelievable!" The Heat's bench was even more boiling, Wade made a gesture to raise his hand to shoot, Odom pointed his index finger with both hands, and Yang Di scored a mid-range, which was even more exciting than their own dunk.
"When did he master this catch-and-shoot jumper!" The head coach of the Knicks glanced at Stan Van Gundy with resentful eyes, and he felt that Yang Di must have used this trick a long time ago, but the Heat team did not arrange such a tactical cooperation, and suddenly used it to deal with their Knicks.
Stan Van Gundy is also confused, the first time can be said to be a collision, this second shot is obviously prepared, can it be that Yang Di really mastered the ability of the mid-range jumper? His free throws are still terrible!
McDyce didn't dare to hold it up, staring at Yang Di all the time, for fear that he would soar in the middle and middle distance above his head again.
When Yang Di was deliberately marked by the old guy, he naturally didn't have many chances, and he still had much confidence in shooting under interference, and his teammates would not pass him the ball in this situation, so he stopped.
Butler, who got plenty of space, broke through, stepped back and made jumpers, and the Heat went on an 8-3 run in the second quarter, and the Knicks immediately called a timeout.
......
At this moment, Stan Van Gundy also set off a storm in his heart, and he still remembers that at the beginning of the season, Youngdy was frizzy, not only often out of position on the defensive end, but also unable to grasp good opportunities on the offensive end. But during that time, Grant was injured, and Lauren Woods was embarrassed, so he could only catch ducks on the shelves, allowing Yang Di to play a lot of opportunities.
However, during that time, Yang Di's progress was rapid, not only to complete the assigned tasks, but also to often be able to play bright spots on the field.
Up to now, Yang Di has made significant progress on the defensive end, whether it is for the ball carrier or the non-player, whether it is close defense or assistant defense, he has found a set of his own rhythm and is very positive.
So even if you only play less than 20 minutes, it's very efficient. If he could continue to progress like this, how far would he be able to go?
"Well done." Stan Van Gundy reached out.
Yang Di was stunned, then smiled and slapped his palm.
Grant's face was even worse when he saw this scene, and when he thought of Yang Di's age of less than 20 years old, he felt a deep threat.
After the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, and Wade came on.
Yang Di played another three minutes, and when there were 6 minutes and 14 seconds left in the second quarter, he got 6 points and 3 rebounds, shooting 100 percent.
......
Yang Di sat down on the sidelines, and his task was accomplished.
He took the white towel handed over by the staff, wiped the sweat off his shoulders and face, then took a glass of water and took a sip, and chatted with Marik Allen and others on the side.
"Antonio was very fierce before, and his form has declined badly in the past two years."
"yes, he doesn't look very old." Yang Di said.
Marik Allen said: "I don't know what he looks like at twenty-eight or nineteen, but he's a member of the Dream Four team, and I don't know if he can get back into shape. ”
"Injuries are really fierce, as a professional athlete, the most feared thing is to encounter inexplicable injuries, some can recover, some will have shadows after recovery, and some are simply difficult to recover." Malik Allen sighed, and said sincerely to Yang Di: "Yang, you are still young, but you also have to learn to protect your body, I heard that you are always the first to come to the stadium to train, and then practice late every day, although there is enough progress, but it is also necessary to test your body well to avoid injury." ”
Yang Di nodded, and Marik's words were very pertinent. But what he wants to say is that he now has the system reward item "Magical Plain Water" - 100% heals a serious injury. He felt that this was simply a gold medal for avoiding death, as long as he didn't die on the court, he could save himself as soon as possible, which was still a waste.
And Yang Di feels that his body is so strong and his strength is so strong, it should be the type that is difficult to get hurt.
"By the way, why did your shooting suddenly become so good, I didn't hear from Trainer George about changing your shooting hand?" Malik Allen asked curiously.
"It's okay, there's nothing to improve, I could have shot, but the shooting speed is relatively slow, just now on the court, the opponent didn't defend me, if someone interferes, I can't shoot at all." Yang Di said modestly.
Yang continued: "I've been adjusting my hand since I entered the NBA, and I've been watching some shots from players in the 90s and trying to learn from them. Recently, I have probably opened my mind, and I feel that the shot has softened several grades, and the hit rate has come up all of a sudden. ”
"That's amazing." Malik showed a look of envy, Yang Di's progress is really infuriating, is it really so easy to practice shooting? Many NBA interior rough brothers who focus on refining their bodies and muscles will only dunk with one move when they retire, and the free throw shooting rate is only 50%.
