After Yang Zhenxing finished speaking, he walked down from the middle of the court and walked to the beautiful reporter Priya. They looked at each other and smiled.
Scout Mr. Anderson announced that today's training camp has officially begun. Their plan today is very simple. It is to divide 10 people into two groups for a brief confrontation training, and then perform some simple shooting, dribbling, etc. in order to improve the players' ability.
Show ability
The group is easy to divide, 5 vs. 5, 5 players from the University of Kentucky against 2 players from the University of Washington and 3 players from the University of North Carolina.
Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilrist, the best draft prospects in the Kentucky team, did not come to participate in this small-scale trial. However, they still have 5 players invited here to form a team that they have control over.
Guard Marquis Teague, the other two combo guards Yang Zhenxing and Doron Lamb, and the small forwards are Terrence Jones and Darius Miller. They have no inside players in this lineup, but the trial training does not matter to them.
Just show what they have
The teams composed of the University of Washington and the University of North Carolina have a more complete lineup than Kentucky. They include the University of North Carolina's star center Tyler Zeller, point guard Kendall Marshall and small forward Harrison Barnes. The University of Washington
The five positions of guard Terrence Ross and power forward Tony Wroten are almost complete, and their lineup is far stronger than that of the University of Kentucky. Each of them is within the first round draft predicted by authoritative media.
Because they had no substitute players for this training, in order to avoid physical exhaustion, they decided not to play a whole game. After discussion, they held a simple match between them that lasted for half an hour and had 15 minutes each half.
Okay, the game has started. At the beginning, it was a jump ball. Naturally, the opponent with height and long arms got the first wave of offensive possession. It was Kendall Marshall from North Carolina who had the ball. Now he is the average player in the NCAA.
The player with the most assists. With the prevalence of offensive defenders today, Marshall is one of the few players who puts passing first. He averages 8 points per game but has as many as 9.8 assists. Even if this data is taken into account,
He is also a top point guard in the NBA, but his shooting ability is really poor. His style is a bit like Kidd or Rajon Rondo.
Marshall has a broad field of vision and passes the ball without any sloppiness. He is at the helm of both offense and defense. He knows how to combine speed and slowness. He often plays with his opponents. Although his speed is not very fast, his breakthroughs are very threatening. He is also very smart on the defensive end.
The front defense leaves opponents helpless. In addition, Marshall's average of nearly 10 assists per game is simply a miracle in the NCAA!
It is a pity that in the NCAA last season, in the 32nd to 16th stage of the Western Conference, the No. 1 seed North Carolina defeated the No. 8 seed Creighton University in the same region 87-73. Kendall Marshall performed very well.
He was outstanding, contributing 18 points and 11 assists. However, he was fouled by his opponent during a layup in the second half and landed with his right hand first, causing a bone fracture in his right wrist. Injury factors greatly affected his draft pick. Now he is back from injury.
I hope your performance will win the favor of the team
Enough talking about Kendall Marshall, let’s get back to the game.
Marshall won possession of the ball without hesitation, and here he came to control the entire court.
In the first round, Marshall played a pick-and-roll with his old teammate Tyler Zeller. Kentucky's Jones was guarding Zeller. Jones was too short. Marshall gave the ball to Tyler Zeller. He made a pull-up jumper, and Jones struggled to block it.
Cover, but Zeller was too high and Jones couldn't reach it, so the ball went directly into the net.
There was a burst of applause from the audience, and Mr. Anderson, the scout, nodded to indicate that they played well.
Tyler Zeller is an excellent traditional center, with a height of 2.13 meters and long arms, and has good touch and rebounding ability. He just graduated as a senior this year and averaged close to 16+10 per game. From the data
He is no less than the most popular candidate for the No. 1 pick, Anthony Davis. His current draft picks remain relatively high. In this era of scarcity of centers, some teams will definitely reuse him.
Jones, who failed to guard against Zeller, was a little annoyed. Mr. Anderson encouraged him: "It's okay, you guarded well. It doesn't matter. Keep going."
Seeing Zeller's height, long arms and outstanding talent, Yang Zhenxing wondered if he could be the No. 1 pick like Yao Ming if he were a big center. Of course, this is all just fantasy. He is now a defender.
He has to do what he should do in a down-to-earth manner
The next wave came into the palace. Teague's ball had been passed to Yang Zhenxing and he almost missed it. He didn't seize the good opportunity just now. He needs to steady his rhythm and defend him. North Carolina's Barnes, he is a
As a small forward, he is 2.03 meters tall. It is difficult for Yang Zhenxing to match him. Yang Zhenxing is only 193cm tall. It is obviously unwise to shoot a jumper directly. Yang Zhenxing must understand at this moment that he is a defender and his speed is his advantage.
what to do?
Barnes was close to Yang Zhenxing, and it was difficult for Yang Zhenxing to break through. He kept holding the ball outside the three-point line. He always wanted to express himself and changed direction to the right. The opportunity was not good. Barnes pounced very fiercely, but Yang Zhenxing failed.
Stubbornly took action
"Damn it," Yang Zhenxing said silently in his heart. He knew at this moment that his talent was really not as good as his opponent's. It was irrational to act recklessly. He had to rely on cooperation with his teammates to maximize his abilities.
In fact, Yang Zhenxing already knew this. He just wanted to express himself too much. He loved challenges and preferred to take this risk.
Priya, the beautiful reporter off the court, looked disappointed when the ball didn't go in. Now on her beautiful face, Xingxing noticed her and thought to herself that she shouldn't act recklessly and must wait for a good opportunity before taking action.
In the first round of the opponent's offense, Marshall was still dribbling. Washington shooter Rose came out to catch the ball and then passed it to his teammate Luo Tong. Their ball moved very quickly. They performed continuous pick-and-rolls and screens, and the ball was passed to Harrison Ba
Barnes, Barnes made a pull-up jumper from outside the three-point line. With a crisp sound, the ball fell into the net obediently.
There was another burst of applause and screaming off the court. Barnes is undoubtedly an excellent small forward. He has very strong shooting ability and good breakthrough ability. Some people say that he is like Ray Allen, others say that he is like Kobe, and some
Grant Hill, who said he wanted an enhanced shooting version, and Luol Deng, who said he wanted more firepower. He almost participated in the draft last year, and was even a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick, but he still withdrew from last year's draft.
Enns is definitely a special player, and many teams have been coveting him for a long time.
Seeing that the three North Carolina players all showed off their special skills, the Kentucky team they represented could not find their form until more than 3 minutes into the game, when Marquis Teague intercepted the ball for a fast break.
After scoring two points, the score is now 10:2, far behind the opponent.
Scout Anderson paused the game. He believed that Kentucky needed to make a lot of adjustments. It was understandable that they were unable to defend themselves. There were some gaps in height and talent, but their offense was also beaten to death. They were all outside players.
They didn't use their scoring ability
Scout Anderson doesn't want the game to continue to be so boring, in which case this training will become meaningless. He hopes that Kentucky can fight back and maximize its potential. This is the purpose of this training.
During the timeout, beautiful reporter Priya walked up to Yang Zhenxing and handed him Gatorade. This scene was so similar to a few days ago, that is, before traveling through time and space, when she was still in the Youth Agricultural Competition, Liu Xiaolu would always wipe his sweat and hand it to him during the timeout.
Drinks are such a familiar and happy moment, Yang Zhenxing thought to himself, Priya, are you going to take over from Liu Xiaolu?
"Here, drink" Priya handed the Gatorade to the star
"Well, okay, thank you." Yang Zhenxing picked it up and drank it, while Priya looked at him seriously from the side. Her brown-black eyes were bright and beautiful. Her beauty was comparable to that of Aishwarya Rai, who is known as the most beautiful woman in India.
