Chapter 39: One Attack and One Defense

Summer League has received limited attention, and the focus has been on some of the high-ranking rookies, who are starting from a higher starting point and are the real ones to look forward to. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But when it comes to the field, before there is a clear team status, all the young people want to express themselves.

For example, the current point guard of the Heat, New Zealander Kirk Penny, ignored the ball posture of wing Wade, hooked his fingers, and asked fellow undrafted local Udonis Haslem to come out to block him.

The diligent Haslem ran out to make a block for Penny, and the Knicks are also a rookie combination, watching the Heat complete this high pick, and then form a misplaced switch, Kirk Penny changed his pace slightly on the outside, and wiped it off the side of the Knicks' No. 9 pick this year, power forward Michael Sweetney.

"Good ball, good break." Assistant coach Walker gave a round of applause.

The breakthrough was good, but the problem was that the big man on the opposite side was not slow to move, only slightly behind Kirk Penny by half a body.

At this time, Yang Di on the other side stepped out with both feet, his waist and horse were one, and the power exploded from head to toe, firmly stuck in the main position under the basket.

"How is that possible!" DeMar Johnson was taken aback, how could this guy's strength be so great!

DeMar Johnson thinks that he is also a player who has practiced in the NBA for two years, and his muscles are strong, which is very different from when he first entered the league two years ago, but even so, it seems to be a cut behind Yang Di.

Feeling the wind in the back of his head, Koke Penny didn't dare to pull up a big layup, saw Jandika's main position, and passed the ball to the ground without thinking.

Yang Di was overjoyed, and immediately made a feint to raise his hands to attack after receiving the ball.

DeMar Johnson in the back shook and immediately "rubbed" the ground, jumping up like a spring, Yang Di dribbled to the side with both hands, and then jumped up with the time difference.

"Bang!"

The Knicks had no chance to make up for the defense, and watched Yang Di complete the double-handed dunk.

"Beautiful!" Assistant coach Walker sighed in his heart, the second-round pick selected this year looks very smart, and he didn't say that the technique is rough and can't be watched.

Yang Di returned to the defense, wanted to find a teammate who passed the ball to him and high-fived, but found that his teammate had a serious face and no intention of celebrating with him, so he immediately pouted, and then shrank to the inside, ready to defend.

In the audience at the Orlando Arena, there was a Chinese journalist who looked like he was about 30 years old.

The reporter held a camera in his hand and took several photos in a row on the court from different angles, which was the first time Yang Di scored and dunked on the NBA court. The powerful arms, the basketball hanging through the net, the smooth and bright court floor, and the eyes of the opponents who watched him fly behind him formed a precious picture.

Cai Nan took out a pen and quickly wrote in the interview book: "On July 10, Yang Di made his debut in the summer league, shook the opponent on the first offense, and completed a two-handed dunk, showing unparalleled court spirituality, just like his age of less than 20, as if he had infinite possibilities. ”

"That's probably when the story began, one man, one city."

......

Knicks point guard Frank Williams.

After pushing through half-time, he played a cross-screen run with the shooting guard, and then the shooting guard passed to Michael Svetney, who received the ball in the high post. When the ball arrives, the small forward who runs up from the bottom corner can complete a hand-to-hand pass with Michael Svetney, and Michael Svetney can cover the small forward with the pick-and-roll.

At this time, Haslem showed the effect of his training in Europe for a year, and the tactical understanding was very thorough, directly leaving aside the defensive Michael Svetney and delaying the opposing small forward.

Yang Di was dumbfounded on the inside, this is only a summer league, but it has already demonstrated the complex tactics of the NBA.

He only saw that after a series of runs from the Knicks' perimeter, the small forward was hoisted to Svetney, who drove straight in, dribbling the ball and preparing to attack the basket.

"Don't think!" Yang Di let out a loud shout and stepped out.

He was tall, his eyes were fierce, and he was not afraid of Svetney who rushed over, his hands were raised high, and he counted the rhythm of Svetney's three steps, and flew up at once.

Svetney saw that the Chinese rookie jumped up with a hideous look that did not match his face, as if to cover the sky and the sun, as if he was going to eat him alive, and his heart panicked, but he had an idea, and the basketball received the bottom, passed out from Yang Di's armpit, and handed it to Demar Johnson on the bottom line.

"You can't miss the opportunity to send it to your door!"

DeMar Johnson was happy, then held the ball high with both hands, jumped up and pressed down with both hands for a dunk.

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared in front of DeMar Johnson, rubbing upwards with an exaggerated speed, instantly exceeding his height, like a rocket taking off.

The big black hand pressed against the orange basketball that was pressed down, and the overwhelming force came from the transmission of the basketball and the palm.

DeMar Johnson had no center of gravity in the air, was unevenly forced, and was horrified to see the basketball in his hand being slapped away!

Devin Wade!

The 1.93m shooting guard completed a dunk block on an interior player!

DeMar Johnson sat on the ground, the basketball rolled off the sideline, and looked at Wade who looked up, his face was blue and white.

"Damn, that's amazing!"

Yang Di ran over and hit Wade in the chest, he saw it just now, DeMar Johnson obviously jumped first, but Wade rushed over like the wind, surpassed DeMar Johnson in the blink of an eye, and completed a shocking block, didn't this guy say that he was good at offense, how can he defend so well and be so active?

"Your defense is not bad, either!" Wade saw the scene of Yang Di rushing out, and he also appreciated Yang Di's fearlessness.

In Miami, in the office of the American Airlines Arena, there was a loud burst of laughter.

"One offense and one defense, it's really interesting." Pat Riley watched the live stream, clapping his hands and smiling. From this simple offense and defense, he has seen the infinite possibilities of the Heat's future, and Yang Di and Wade seem to have an indescribable tacit understanding for the first time they work together on the court.

As soon as the camera turned in the picture, the Knicks had missed the offense, and Yang Di pushed Demar Johnson to protect the backcourt rebound.

Then he didn't stop the ball in his hand, and directly stuffed it to Wade, Wade took the ball and ran wildly to the frontcourt, and in the transition between offense and defense, the speed was pulled down the most, which was really like a red lightning.

Then we saw Wade go one-on-one in front of the defense of his nameless shooting guard, take a step stronger, squeeze the opponent away, and complete the one-handed rim.

Wade ran back and high-fived Yang Di.

......

Yang Di played 6 minutes in the first quarter and was very comfortable with the rhythm of the NBA.

It was also because the Knicks didn't have a strong interior line, so he easily grabbed 4 rebounds, completed a dunk on the offensive end, no assists, no blocks, no steals and no turnovers.

"If it's a regular season, the intensity will be several notches higher than this, and the opponents you will encounter are strange, and some players even specialize in certain aspects, which is very scary." Yang Di and Wade got off the field together, and Wade and Yang Di chatted.

"Specialize in certain areas?"

Wade said: "Yes, for example, some players focus on defense, focus on defense, a game is very focused on the defensive end, some players are very good at helping to defend, with a strong interior line that can resist people, the interior defensive intensity will immediately increase several grades." There are still a lot of tactical changes, and today the Knicks want to play some tactics, but it doesn't seem to work very well. ”

"I don't think you have a problem staying with the Heat, but if you want to get more playing time in the regular season, you must first memorize the tactics, find your place on the court, and ensure that every defense and every offense can appear in a reasonable position, and the coach will approve you."

'That Udonis Haslem has a good sense of position on the pitch and looks very professional.

"I heard that he went to Europe to play for a year before." Yang Di said.

Wade said: "He used to be on the University of Florida men's basketball team, I played against him when I was in college, but I was a little chubby at the time, I didn't expect that after all these years of training, he has completed the transformation, just now you saw that his defense is not, Ka's No. 9 show this year can't move, I'll be honest, he may not be as good as you, but the current defense is better than yours, if he can also stay in the team, he will be your biggest competitor." ”

Yang Di nodded thoughtfully, and some of the small smugness that had just risen was immediately pressed down. He turned his head to look at the court, and sure enough, as Wade said, Haslem's defense is very tough, even if the Knicks change a big man to play against him, it still doesn't take much advantage, every top person, every change of defense is just right, it is really much more professional than Yang Di......
