Chapter 50: Positive Reporting
Yang Di played again in the fourth quarter, and at that time, the Pacers were already 20 points behind the Heat, Carlisle had no intention of chasing back the score, and the game entered garbage time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wade didn't play with Yang Di again, and a group of marginal people just did it with the ball, and only the basket was in their eyes.
The next day, the Miami Sports Newspaper reported on the Heat's first regular game of the new season, and the process of exercising more than the game was particularly valued.
For example, Wade and Yang Di, who were selected for the top ten balls that day.
Two dunks, one is a folding backdunk in Wade's fast break, and the other is a hanging frame dunk in place after Yang Di grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, which detonated the fans' vision, but it was actually a different sensory experience.
"Amazing talent."
"The potential is limitless."
The previous word describes Wade, and the next word describes Yang Di.
The difference is that Wade has shown unparalleled talent, and talent has always been considered one of the abilities in the NBA's concept, while Yang Di is still somewhat lacking in ability, such as "weak shooting ability, poor defensive selection, poor free throws" and so on, which can only be defined by future possibilities.
This was a positive report, which quickly attracted the attention of Chinese fans on the Florida Peninsula, after all, although Yang Di's skin was a little darker, his facial features were still typical Asian men's facial features, his eyes were dark, and the blood of his hometown was clearly flowing in his blood.
With the same origin, it easily resonated and supported.
When a player is doing well, the coverage is always positive.
……
Madison, Wisconsin.
The small eatery on Oak Street is close to Madison's high school, and in the evening, students from the neighborhood come to eat.
Just as yesterday's top 10 balls were playing, the TV set hanging high in the restaurant attracted the attention of the students.
"Tenth shot, Los Angeles' Clippers' Corey Margetty dunked quickly, and a dragon completed a one-arm bomb frame!" Margeti averaged 16.8 points and five rebounds per game for the Clippers last season, and is said to have participated in training camp in the offseason.
"On the ninth floor, the Boston Celtics guard Kaderick Brown shook the opponent brilliantly and hit a layup!" The defender, who was selected by the Celtics with the 11th pick in the first round in '01, has been playing soy sauce for the first two seasons, and today he finished in the top 10, which seems to be a good start to the new season.
"The eighth ball, the Chinese rookie selected by the Miami Heat, angrily grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and raised his arms with both hands to hang the frame!"
Yang Di's wonderful goal was placed in the eighth goal of the top ten goals on the official website of the day, and as soon as this goal appeared, it instantly caused fans to exclaim.
A high school student watching the game in the restaurant shouted, "I know this guy!" ”
"Damn, I think I've seen him too."
"Isn't this the center of the Firefoxes last year, I heard that the Firefoxes won the Madison championship at that time, all because of this guy."
"It's no wonder that the Bison team, which was so strong at that time, was said to be picked, and there was a player who could enter the NBA as an opponent, and there was no shame in losing."
Many high school students are fans of the Firefoxes, and they are also familiar with the Firefoxes on weekdays, knowing that the captain of the Firefoxes announced that his former players participated in the NBA draft a few days ago and were selected, and I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true.
"I heard that this guy seems to be a player for the University of Wisconsin Badgers."
"Didn't the draft report say he hadn't played in college?"
"Later expelled from the University of Wisconsin......"
“……”
……
The second game of the preseason was against the Bucks, again at home.
Two days after the game, Stan Van Gundy took a day off and gathered the entire Heat team for daily training the next day.
Yang Di hummed a small tune and walked into the locker room, and there was no one in the locker room.
His locker was next to Wade, and after putting the headphones down, he changed into a jersey and then put on his newly bought Joe XVIII.
Jordan's eighteenth generation was released after Jordan retired last season, and the tongue and sides of the ankle have metal mesh materials, and the overall feel of the sneakers is excellent, and Yang Di is very comfortable to wear.
After the change, the locker room door opened and Grant walked in.
Yang Di was about to go out, so he met him face to face, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the disgust in each other's eyes, and then Yang Di turned his head, turned around and walked out of the door, Grant didn't care, and the two of them passed by like strangers.
Yang Di walked to the training hall, there were already two staff members who came to wipe the floor and utensils, he twisted his body, first ran around the court twice, and then took the basketball, while practicing dribbling under the crotch, walked under the half-court frame, and then shot blindly.
After a while, Grant and Odom walked in together, laughing and talking.
Odom's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Di, and he greeted Yang Di with a smile, "Yang, it's early!" ”
"yes, Lamar."
Yang Di put away the basketball and responded to Odom, the relationship between him and Odom is still good, Odom's generosity left a deep impression on Yang Di that day, in addition, he also really realized what it means to spend a lot of money.
Then, Wade, Butler, Haslem and others also walked in one after another, and the training hall gradually became lively.
Head coach Stan Van Gundy had the staff bring in two stacks of vests, one red and one yellow.
"Do a 5-on-5 full-court confrontation training today!" Assistant coach Walker and the Heat players said, "Stan and I are on each team, and we have 20 minutes to spare. ”
“OK!” The players should be in unison.
"Rassol [Butler], Dwyanne (Wade), Lamar (Odom), Raf (Alstom), Malik [Allen], Jandy and I were on the same team." Walker smiled and took the roll call, and then took Yang Di and the others through the half.
The remaining team of Bembo Coles, Eddie Jones, John Wallace, Caron Butler, Haslem, Grant and Lauren Woods remained put ready to take command from head coach Van Gundy.
The starting players were divided in half by the two teams, and Yang Di and others changed into yellow vests.
"Even in the most ordinary 5-on-5 drills, the intensity of the confrontation is very high, after all, you are all NBA players. What I want to say is that you have to stay focused and pay attention to the rebounding game. Also, be careful not to get hurt. Walker didn't lay out any tactics, and after a few simple instructions, he let the players warm up.
Another assistant coach, Eric Spoelstra, became the referee for this training match.
Spoelstra, a native of Filipino descent, entered the Heat in '95 as a video coordinator for two years, became an assistant coach in '99, and became a scouting director and assistant coach in '01.
This year, Spoelstra is only 33 years old, which can be described as young and promising.
Of course, before Stan Van Gundy became the team's head coach, all three of them were assistant coaches for the Heat, and each had their own philosophy on basketball.
It's easy to do a job like a free throw game.
Yang Di still became a substitute, Odom jumped to win Grant, and then Alston dribbled across the half court and found Wade on the wing, Wade flicked lightly, and the basketball was hoisted to Odom inside.
Odom dribbles with his left hand, sways it, turns his right foot toward the baseline, and finds a support point with his left foot.
A beautiful step-back jumper that went into the frame after the basketball hit the board, and Grant didn't jump up and couldn't defend it.
The RED team attacked, and the veteran Bembo handed the ball to Cuaron after half court, and Cuaron hooked his finger and asked Grant to come out and block him.
Butler changed direction in front of his body with the help of the pick-and-roll, shook off a little space and shot directly, and also hit. 2 to 2.
"See, this goal is actually not well defended by Haslem." Walker and Yang Di, who were also sitting on the sidelines, said, "You see, if Haslem's ball is lifted a little more at the moment of Butler's breakthrough, it may interfere with Butler's breakthrough, and his position is too inside, giving Butler room to change direction." ”
"How to grasp the sweet spot of defensive breakthrough and defensive shooting is the most important thing a defensive player should learn."
Yang Di nodded, what Walker said is very reasonable, every player's defensive habits are different, and according to their own physical conditions and reactions, the defensive and offensive choices made on the court should also be different.
However, he was depressed that Haslem actually started in the red team, and he was still a substitute, and he was congested.
