Chapter 55: The Embarrassed Pat. Riley
An Jie threw the basketball casually on the court, and his soft touch had already made him hit six consecutive shots. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although it is not a formal training program, Pat can do it. Riley and Spoelstra still saw it.
"It seems that he has a really big offensive range and maybe can develop a three-point shot." Spoelstra said as he stared at the big, yellow-skinned man in the field.
Pat. Riley disagreed. "If he pulls out, the threat will drop a lot, and not all interior players are suitable for three-point shooting."
"Hey, you're here too?" Just after An Jie accurately threw the ball into the basket for the eighth time, Chalmers suddenly ran over and said hello to An Jie.
"yes, I don't know what I'm going to do later, they didn't react after the physical test." Anjie looked off the field, and Spoelstra seemed to be talking to Pat. Riley was discussing something.
While Anjie and Chalmers were speculating, a bald coach dressed as a referee walked into the field with a list.
"Alright boys, let's go ahead in groups!"
Hearing the coach shout, everyone stopped what they were doing. The Heat are really playing, and they're getting to the point so quickly!
"It's only 15 minutes, so let's do it. Just play it like a regular game, but I don't want to see you guys make too much of a move. With that, the bald coach picked up the grouping list, and everyone focused.
It's not just rookies on the ground, and it's also an opportunity for free agents and fringers to prove themselves. But they're going to be disappointed today, because Michael. Beasley had complete possession of the ball.
Anjie and Chalmers were placed in the same group as their opponents, Michael. Beasley stood across from them.
"Can you play both power forward and small forward at the same time? Tut. "Pat. Riley touched his chin, it was really a difficult choice.
Beasley didn't plan to pass the ball out again after receiving it, and even against teammates who already had NBA experience, he always believed that he was the strongest. Defeat Anjie and knock him out, this is Michael. Beasley's only thought in his head at the moment. And now the defender who was crossing in front of him, Beasley didn't take him seriously in the slightest.
Shake, accelerate! Michael. Beasley easily broke through. Angier! Beasley only has Angel in his eyes! In his opinion, this training match is a heads-up between him and An Jie, and the others are just foils.
"Is this guy still holding a grudge?" Pat. Riley certainly hasn't forgotten about Michael. Beasley's first NCAA game, he sent two scouts there for the sake of the legendary strongest high school talent. Unexpectedly, Anjie came out halfway and killed Michael. Beasley's limelight was all gone.
"The first ball, I'll blow you up!" Michael. Beasley dribbled back and forth with his left and right hands, and suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Anjie's right.
Anjie hurriedly stepped back, keeping a good distance from Beasley. Who knew that Beasley broke through halfway, jumped high directly, and made a stop-and-go jump shot!
An Jie's reaction was not slow, and he took a big step forward, trying to interfere.
The huge height and arm span gap makes Michael. Beasley's vision was greatly disturbed, and he barely took a shot, but the basketball couldn't reach the net.
Beasley missed the first shot, and now it is Chalmers who controls the basketball.
"It's very sophisticated, not like a rookie at all." Seeing Chalmers' offensive organization, Riley couldn't help but smile slightly.
After a few passes, Anjie's shooting guard shot outside the three-point line. However, he seems to be a little too confident in his accuracy, and the timing of the shot is not good.
Beasley averaged 12.4 rebounds per game in the NCAA, which is the highest number in the NCAA Division 1! However, after a summer of hard work, Beasley found himself unable to grab a favorable rebounding position.
With a pair of long arms outstretched and his feet constantly moving, everything Divac taught is now reflected in Anjie.
Judging the landing point, An Jie jumped, opened his palm, and steadily got the offensive rebound. After landing, Anjie did not pass the ball again. Beasley couldn't help him. Facing the unguarded basket in front of him, An Jie scored with an easy hook. In the first round of the competition, An Jie won.
"This guy is so tall." Wade appreciatively commented on Anjie.
"Damn it!" Michael. A player like Beasley is a big killer in the NCAA, but once it reaches the NBA level, the positioning is a little awkward. However he didn't let Pat. Riley was disappointed, and after that, he finally showed his super talent.
Beasley still walked past his defenders, but this time he didn't burst into the box again, but instead stepped back diagonally, hit a three-point shot, and opened his hand.
"It's one of the best talents in the country!" Spoelstra got excited.
Beasley was aiming for the score, while Anjie was not, and he didn't have many opportunities to play on the offense after that. Riley sees more of Anjie's ability to block and respond to the ball.
After a few rounds, Beasley still took the majority of his shots, while Anjie only relied on two back-to-back singles chances to cut down four points.
Anjie is very good as a whole, and may be a good piece of the puzzle, but with a little tweaking, Beasley will definitely become a scoring machine that should not be underestimated.
Just as Pat and Riley were thinking, Anjie received a pass from Chalmers for the third time in the attack. This time, due to the misplaced defense after the pick-and-roll, the man between Anjie and the basket became Michael. Beasley.
The three people in the audience are all serious, what will be the result of this duel?
Anjie knew he didn't move as well or flexibly as Beasley on his feet, and it wasn't wise to choose a head-on break. Without hesitation, An Jie once again used his best style of play, back singles!
Beasley gritted his teeth and held Anjie's waist, the starting point of all power. However, when An Jie pushed back hard, he was still amazed by the disproportionate amount of power that emanated from this emaciated body.
After a few steps, An Jie entered the range of the three-second zone. After a summer of training, Anjie's level has improved a lot compared to the end of the season. Facing Beasley, who was so much shorter than himself, An Jie jumped directly and raised the basketball with his right hand. An effortless little hook that is almost in Michael. Beasley's head is scored. In Beasley's eyes, the ball was close to humiliation!
Beasley, who is not careful, obviously doesn't have much to do when it comes to facing a real interior player. However, Beasley's advantage is reflected in the offensive end, but what he didn't notice was that although An Jie didn't shoot much, he completed every attack easily, and so far An Jie has maintained a full-hit shooting rate!
"It's a pity that there is no real NBA-level interior line to test that Chinese." Pat. Riley does not yet have an accurate judgment of Anjie's level, and the risk of choosing a Chinese is obviously greater than choosing a national high school genius.
Just be Michael. Beasley had just gotten the ball and was about to fight back when the bald referee blew the whistle for the end of practice. "Let's get here today! Take a break, you'll have other projects later. ”
Fifteen minutes was really hard to solve Beasley's hatred.
"How?" Pat. Riley turned his head to look at his head coach and team leader.
"Michael's scoring ability is amazing, and he's proven himself in the NCAA. But Anjie, who has only played in the United States for one season, looks good on the surface, but I'm not sure if he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA game. As far as I know, that guy has been in regular basketball training in the United States for less than a year. "Spoelstra is clearly more biased towards Michael. Beasley some.
"What do you think? Dwayne? "Wade's advice is also very important, after all, it was Wade who was playing with that bunch of guys on the court, not him, the general manager.
"Anjie and his teammates are very good as a team, and they are also very intimidating on the defensive end. If he had come to the Heat to pick and roll for me, I would have played a little easier. Michael's scoring ability is good, but my concern is the number of shots he takes, and if we don't discipline him, he'll be a ticking time bomb at any time. But really, if Beasley was willing to play tactically, then our firepower on the offensive end would be much stronger. Wade clearly doesn't like anyone more, and his assessment is very neutral.
Pat. Riley looked at these two NCAA stars in embarrassment, the Heat have a chance to get the top pick this season, and such a good pick cannot be wasted.
After that, the cumbersome trial content is not too important, and the project that can best reflect the strength has just been staged in advance. Anjie had been busy all morning, but she didn't feel too tired, and these things were as easy as a warm-up compared to Divac's training plan. It wasn't until Moslav went to call Anjie that he knew the trial was over.
"That's it?" An Jie is obviously still unsatisfied, playing in front of big stars, who can not be excited.
"yes, don't worry, we've got a lot more places to go, and some of them have balls for you." With that, Muslav handed Anjie a towel and led him towards Pat. Riley walked on.
"Thank you for coming all the way to Miami for a tryout, Anjie, you are a very good player, we will keep an eye on you." Pat. Riley didn't give a clear answer.
"Thank you, Mr. Riley, then let's go first, you know, Anjie still has a lot of teams to tryout." Moslav smiled, this seemingly inconsequential sentence was actually what Moslav was secretly giving to Pat. Riley pressed. This is to illustrate that Anjie is a sought-after item, you Pat. Riley is going to miss it, and no other team will let him go.
Sometimes it's the little details in this conversation that can make a difference.
"It's a blessing to live in a city like this." After a hurried dinner, Anjie looked out of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows at the beautiful land of Miami.
"Every city after that will make you sigh the same way, rest well tonight, and we'll go to New York tomorrow." Muslav is now helping Anjie in business at a loss, but he believes that after the draft, Anjie will be able to afford his meager salary immediately.
"Flying again?" It was only the first day, and An Jie felt tired of running around.
"You've got to get used to it, and you're going to spend most of your NBA career on planes as well." Moslav was accustomed to such a rhythm of life, and he was as relaxed as if tomorrow he were going on an outing not far from home.
Anjie felt as if she had chosen a path to hell. There was no time to enjoy the night view of Miami, and Anjie collapsed on the bed after taking a shower. From now on, every day is deciding Anjie's future fate.
