Chapter 106: Training Players?

(Whether you can make a sharp knife rise this week depends on everyone's votes!! There are also some missing book friends, hurry back. You MA called you home for dinner!!!! )

The introduction of players before a college game in the United States is not as cool as that of an NBA team. All the players will sit on the bench and just get up and say hello to the crowd when their names are called. There's no need to work hard to come up with some personalized appearances to win the audience's attention.

The order of the introductions is completely in alphabetical order of the first English surname in order to emphasize the team. The DJ on the scene introduced each player, especially the newcomers to the team this year, and briefly introduced the player's high school experience to the home fans.

Sun Yi looked at his teammates who were called in front of him with a smile, and received bursts of cheers from the audience.

"Here's the player who led Timothy High School Chicago to an undefeated record in high schools across the United States, he's Illinois Basketball of the Year, and the MVP of the McDonald's High School All-Star Game in San Diego, and the new member of the Blue Devils is Sun Yi !! from China."

After a slight hesitation, nearly 10,000 fans in the audience immediately erupted in deafening cheers. The Chinese boy, who became the focus of the court, still got up with a faint smile and gently hammered his right fist on the team's jacket where the Duke Blue Devils logo was printed to show his allegiance to the team.

This symbolic action made the Blue Devils fans full of enthusiasm for this Chinese newcomer in an instant. There was even a nymphomaniac girl, seeing Sun Yi's tough and handsome face, she couldn't help but let out bursts of piercing screams.

Captain Mike Roberts, who has always been responsible for the team's appearance, could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this scene. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. Alas! Women are so fickle!

……

Cautious and wise old Coach K takes the first game of the season very seriously, and the Americans are also very particular about getting off to a good start. The starting lineup list is as follows: the point guard position is Paulus, a sophomore who can shoot and pass, the point guard Sun Yi, and the small forward McClure has excellent defense and tenacity, and there is a unique skill of piercing Yang with one hand. Captain McRoberts is the dominant power forward, and his tactical role in the team is very important. The only choice for center forward Zowelk became the starting center without any suspense, and this big white player showed a tough side in nearly two months of training. As a defensive barrier for the team's interior, although he is still a little immature at times, his strength and hard work have been unanimously recognized by the coaching staff and teammates.

Coach K put out such a starting lineup, obviously wanting to use the captain McRoberts's adaptability and rich game experience to firmly control the rhythm of the game in his own hands. Point guard Paulus plays more of an outside killer role after dribbling the ball across the halfcourt. Sun Yi's task is to respond to the captain's high position and use his excellent air cutting ability to impact the opponent's basket. McClure and Zoorbeck are typical blue-collar characters, except for McClure, who has three-point ability, and occasionally pulls to the outside to release cold arrows, the two of them don't have many roles in the offense.

Sun Yi, who was standing on the court waiting for his teammates to jump the ball, felt the strong atmosphere of the game, and the adrenaline in his body burst out rapidly. What a fascinating game! This is the kind of basketball you want!

Judging from the average height of Columbia University players, the strength of this team is only a little better than that of fish belly. The referee threw the basketball in his hand into the air, and the 2.13-meter Zowelk jumped up and flicked it lightly, and it was picked up by Blue Devils point guard Paulus without any suspense.

The first offense will be set up by captain Mike Roberts. After all the players were in position, Paulus, who was holding the ball, made a thumbs up gesture. The captain, who was fighting for a position with the opponent in the penalty area, immediately changed his direction and ran out.

Seeing that McRoberts, who received the ball, made a back movement in the high post, Sun Yi, who was on the weak side, and teammate McClure made a cross run and immediately cut into the opponent's penalty area.

The 2.08m captain seemed to have an eye behind him, and as soon as Sun Yi arrived at the predetermined position, McRoberts' elusive pass flew over. It's so simple, it's different from training. Sun Yi, who received the ball, was ready to get up and go to the basket. Suddenly, there was a light hand, and the ball that had been firmly controlled disappeared.

I saw a white player who was half a head lower than Sun Yi, bending down to pick up the basketball that was bouncing on the floor, and then rushed to the half court of the Blue Devils.

This sudden change made the Duke players on the court stunned. The fans off the field even expressed their dissatisfaction with the Chinese player's low-level mistakes, and some discriminatory spectators even booed sporadically.

The members of the coaching staff on the sidelines, especially Coach Voy, who has been guiding Sun Yi a lot recently, kept shaking their heads when they saw this scene. Could it be that he is a training player? Why does Coach Voy think so, because Sun Yi is so good in training. He even thinks that this Chinese player can play the main force in any team in the NBA league now. But this mistake made him shake his opinion of himself a little.

Indeed, in reality, there are some players who can do anything in training or friendly matches, but when they get to the real battlefield, they immediately become overwhelmed.

Will Sun Yi become a player who is not useful?

Of course not!

At the moment when he lost control of the ball, Sun Yi did have a moment of surprise. But when he saw that his opponent got the ball and was ready to break fast, he reacted quickly. Spread your two long legs and chase after your opponent.

The away team's scoring guard, who just completed a wonderful steal, although he is only 1.93 meters tall, is a senior and a full old fritter on the court.

Before the game, the live DJ listened clearly when he introduced the Chinese player. Youdao is a well-known man, he has a lot of experience in the game, and he has been following his opponents in defense. And when the Chinese player and his teammates were cross-running, he deliberately slowed down his pace of catching up. Sure enough, the old fritter's strategy made the opponent relax his vigilance, and he didn't pay attention to protecting the basketball in his hand before preparing to go to the basket, and he hit it with a blow.

Looking at the basket that was getting closer and closer, the Columbia University main quarterback had a hideous smile on his face. What about the Duke Blues, who can humiliate you in front of tens of thousands of fans......
