Chapter 102: This Monster!
Since Rondo is gone...... Ahem, in fact, before Rondo left, the Celtics' record was not very good.
With Rondo gone, Celtic's record looks even worse......
In addition to their home win against the Timberwolves once, they have suffered two consecutive defeats, losing to the Heat and the Magic with the same poor record, because the Celtics are now going, no, no, and they are definitely not a strong team in the league at present, so the Christmas game that everyone is looking forward to has nothing to do with them, but after all, it is one of the faces of the NBA, so a game was arranged on carnival night.
That is, tonight, the game against the Bruwerin Nets, although the Nets are also very bad now, but at least, on paper, it is much better than the Celtics, if it is an ordinary team, in the case of the team does not have a top card, they may have to find a way to mess up, or trade, but the Celtics do not have such a tradition.
Even if they lose to the death, they will never mess up, so the team still has the strength to fight for victory.
The level is the level, the heart is the heart, and admitting defeat before the fight is not their style.
So when Jiang Hai came to the training ground below, he was surprised to find that although the record was not good, the atmosphere of the team was not bad.
At this time, on a huge training ground, the players of the team are gathering in groups, either practicing shooting, or practicing strong shots, grabbing rebounds, card positions, or practicing piling and the like.
The NBA training hall is not a small place with only one basketball court, Jiang Hai came here, took a look, and found that here, there are ten basketball hoops, that is, five basketball courts, next to each basketball court, there are still a lot of free places, next to the wall in the distance, there are still a lot of boys, wearing uniform clothes, it can be seen that they are not very old, they are mainly responsible for picking up the basketballs that bounce over, and sometimes they are also responsible for defending and passing.
These people should be the legendary caddies, and among these people, Jiang Hai also saw a figure he was more familiar with, it should be the guy who was alone with him on the basketball court, it seems that he is also called John, but it is the white John
"Oh, you're here, come on, Jiang, follow him over there, I've arranged a shooting trainer for you, and they'll evaluate your abilities, but I've heard Bradley talk about your shooting skills, show us something." Seeing Jiang Hai and Bradley coming over, Brad Stevens on this side looked at Jiang Hai for the first time and said to him.
As his words fell, two coaches had already walked over and took Jiang Hai to the half of the empty field next to him.
"How is he?" Seeing Jiang Hai being taken away by these two people, Brad Stevens pulled Avery Bradley next to him and asked in a low voice, hearing his words, Bradley couldn't help but feel a little like wanting to speak and stopping.
"I'll give you a heads-up, you can call him a monster, and Mr. Bray-Bo will give you the specific data in a moment." After saying that, Bradley didn't say more, and ran directly to the court to practice shooting to warm up.
As for Jiang Hai, at this time, he ran to the half court here, and there was an assistant coach who told Jiang Hai how to run for a while, which is the most basic Z-shaped running position on the outside, from the bottom corner of the left or right side, and then run all the way to the line, after running to a 45-degree angle in the opposite direction, go straight in, run past the rebounding position, then turn around and run out, run outside the three-point line, and then run along the arc again to the 45-degree angle on the opposite side, go straight in, and then turn around and run out of the three-point line.
From above, it's a bit of a zigzag, and it's the basic movement of all defenders.
Since it is a basic running position, it is not too complicated, after the assistant coach has run once, Jiang Hai will also be able to, and what he has to do is to receive the ball from the assistant coach at any time when he is running these positions, and then immediately catch the ball and hit it.
This is also the most test of a person's shooting percentage, but this seems to be a little too simple for Jiang Hai.
"Brush, brush, brush, brush......" continuous hit rate, Jiang Hai has never knocked, all hollow brush baskets, after all, it is only within the three-point line, and the farthest place is outside the three-point line, such a distance, for Jiang Hai, is it difficult to play?
"It's not interesting, it's bigger!" Finally, after scoring more than thirty goals in a row, Jiang Hai stopped and said to the assistant coach, and hearing Jiang Hai's words, the assistant coach also glanced at Brad Stevens in the distance.
Stevens in the distance has actually been observing Jiang Hai, and he found that Jiang Hai's shooting is really buggy.
The main reason why he went to Jiang Hai to try it out was because Bradley said that Jiang Hai could hit ultra-long three-pointers in a row, as for what he said, it was an offensive point in the half, and the shooting rate was 100 percent, which he himself did not believe.
After all, this is a real world, not a fantasy world, where can there be such terrifying skills.
If it's really that scary, then a fart? After half-time, give the ball to him, and then everyone pulls away, when did basketball become so easy? How did he not know?
So he only listened to it as a joke, but now that he sees Jiang Hai's shooting, it seems to be really powerful.
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bradley here thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Jiang Hai's proposal.
Seeing him nodding, Jiang Hai smiled and took an assistant coach's basketball, came to a step away from the three-point line, and without saying a word, he jumped and shot directly, but the basketball still hit the same hollow shot as just now!
Then there are two steps, three steps...... One and a half meters away from the basket, it was still a hollow hit!
Seeing this scene, Brad Stevens felt a little blind, could it be that what Bradley said was true?
At this time, more people also noticed Jiang Hai, who was practicing shooting from a distance, and the terrifying three-point shot was really terrifying.
"Ahem, we look like we've found a monster." And at this moment, Brie Bo walked in from the outside, took a form, and handed it to Brad Stevens, seeing the form handed over by Brad Bo, Brad Stevens' hand suddenly trembled, and then looked at the guy who was losing three points there in the half at this time with a look of horror.
"Are you sure there is no mistake?" Looking at Bray Beau's form, Brad Stevens said with a puzzled expression.
"I swear to God." Hearing what Brad Stevens said, Brie Bo also said with a serious face.
"Hey, if that's true, then this guy is really a monster, a super monster!" Looking at the information in front of him, Brad Stevens' eyes were already about to breathe fire, and then he glanced at Jiang Hai, who continued to shoot there, and thought about it for a while, he now saw Jiang Hai's shooting ability, but he didn't know how his shooting ability was under defense, so he had to give it a try! Thinking of this, he put the information aside for the time being, and then clapped his hands vigorously.
"Everyone, let's get together first, let's play a fifteen-minute intra-team practice match!" Hearing Brad Stevens' words, the attention of everyone who was still watching Jiang Hai practice shooting three-pointers attracted them.
Hearing the head coach's orders, everyone didn't dare to slack off, after all, there is no real boss in this team now, and there is no prickly natural Brad's prestige, which is the strongest in the team.
"Jiang, come over too, let me explain, we are going to have a five-on-five fifteen-minute game next, and your performance will determine your playing time tonight." Looking at the people in front of him, Brad said with a serious face.
At present, the Celtics have signed a total of fifteen players, in addition to the veteran Gerard Wallace, Marcus Thornton and James Young are unable to play due to injury, there are twelve people who can play, and among these twelve people, there is no absolute, who is the main force, who is the substitute, whoever plays well may be the main force, and whoever plays badly may also be a substitute.
Regarding their appearance time, the faces of these people instantly became serious.
"Jared (Salinger), Evan (Turner), Avery (Bradley), Taylor (Zeller), Jeff [Green], you guys, put on the white quilt, Jay (Claude), Kelly (Olynyk), Marcus (Smart), Brandon (Bass), and...... Jiang, you go and change into yellow vests. At the end of the day, Brad suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Hai, I heard that there was something about myself, which made Jiang Hai a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, just went to change a vest, although he was not interested in playing the NBA and playing professionally, but since he said that he wanted to come over to play, he naturally would not give up halfway, go to the side to change the heart behind him, and simply communicate with his teammates.
"Are you playing the number one position, or the number two position?" The point guard on the Yellow team's side, Marcus Smart, walked to Jiang Hai's side at this time and asked him, Marcus Smart is the sixth pick in the first round this year, and the reason why the Celtics will trade Rondo is mainly because of him, although this guy looks like a thorn, but his personality is very good, he is willing to do anything that can help the team on the court, and the current point guard with offense as the core is not a person.
His defense is superior, the offensive general, he will be very active in grabbing rebounds, and his ability to make fouls is very good, the most important thing is that he has a heart that wants to win and desires, even if it is a training game, he wants to win and does not want to lose.
"Uh, number two!" After thinking about it for a while, although Jiang Hai's height is more suitable for playing the No. 1 position, Jiang Hai knows very well that although he has played with his dribbling at home for the past two days, it is limited to jogging and will not be broken.
"Okay, you'll be in your familiar position in a moment, and I'll pass the ball to you." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Marcus Smart also smiled at Jiang Hai, and then the ten people also walked on the field to prepare for today's training match.
