Chapter 32 The Prototype of the Double Guns in the Backfield
"Knock knock......" The crisp knock outside the door kept sounding, and Alexander's awkward Chinese pronunciation could be faintly heard.
"Open the door, open the door, boss, have you washed it......"
Alexander? How did this cargo come about!
"It's coming, it's coming!"
After Li Yang quickly rinsed, he changed his clothes and walked out of the shower.
When I opened the door, I saw Alexander's old driver's smile on his face, and he winked at Li Yang.
"Yang, you came back in a hurry, and you stayed in the shower for so long, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, people have three urgency, and a man understands it!" Li Yang waved his hand boringly.
"Look, this is the sequelae of forcible masturbation, I look like I have seen through the red dust, and I don't admit it!" Alexander looked like a brother, I understand.
"Young people should not be too impulsive and take care of their health." Alexander looked like a person who had come over, and stood in front of Li Yang and said in an old-fashioned manner.
"Eh~, if I have something to say, I won't do such a boring thing!"
"Pay attention to your body! Brother! Alexander's interest was undiminished, and the old god patted Li Yang's shoulder and continued to admonish earnestly.
"Forehead ......", Li Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and punched Alexander in the chest, until he begged for mercy, and then let him go.
Fortunately, after Alexander begged for mercy, he finally got down to business.
"I just want to ask, what's on the agenda for tonight?"
"What arrangements can there be, what more arrangements do you want for a single dog???"
"Cut, as if you're not!" Alexander rolled his eyes arrogantly.
"Do you want to play 2k?" Li Yang asked tentatively.
"Okay, I'm playing Thief Six in 2K, let's find another person, and the three of them will be online together." Alexander slapped his thigh with excitement when he heard the basketball game, and hurriedly pulled Li Yang out of the locker room to meet the team, so that he could hurry back to the hotel to play games.
One game will make you happy like this, and then something else will not make you high, this simple child......
In the media coverage that night, the headline was undoubtedly the first matchup between the Clippers and the Warriors, with the focus of Ayton and Tanhua Doncic on the sidelines.
Li Yang is the first protagonist, and the Warriors "Three Young" (Evans, Jordan Bell, Nunn) are the second protagonist.
Although the Warriors lost the game, the "Three Heroes" also performed well, with a total of 38 points, 18 rebounds and 6 assists, and their statistics were not too bad.
After the interview aired, Li Yang's remarks were quickly captured by major sports media newspapers, and then published in evening newspapers and TV news headlines.
Tonight, because of Li Yang's outstanding performance, many media outside Los Angeles highly praised the No. 13 show, and the Los Angeles media rarely did not speak out.
"Li Yang was the best player in all the games today, his impact on the team is incredible, with him and without him, the Clippers are two teams at all."
"The offensive tactics of the Clippers team are all revolving around Li Yang, at the beginning it was the arrangement of the coach's tactics, and then it was Li Yang as the tactical commander on the court, it can be said that Li Yang has formed a preliminary tacit understanding with the Clippers team to a certain extent." The New York Times gave an objective assessment of the game.
Although the media outside Los Angeles have a high opinion of Li Yang, there are still a few media with ulterior motives and deliberately jump out to provoke thorns.
"Li Yang's scoring is more of an undefensive three-pointer, and the defensive intensity in the summer league is too low compared to the NBA regular season, which doesn't mean that he can adapt to the NBA-level defensive intensity right now."
"Li Yang's offense is actually only one layup, it is conceivable that at the critical moment, everyone will know how he scores!"
"Li Yang's offense is actually only once with the ball to break through, it is conceivable that his scoring method at the critical moment is easy to be targeted by the opponent!"
"He can't be an All-Star caliber player, and the ceiling is as good as Real Ama, Danny Green, and I still regret that the Clippers used the No. 13 pick."
When he was in the hotel ranking, Li Yang inevitably saw these comments.
For these comments, Li Yang can't always be all-round as soon as he enters the league, just like James, Brother Alphabet, and Curry in the early days, which superstar has no shortcomings?
It seems that only superstars have the qualifications to be hacked, and the average passer-by and keyboard warrior are probably too lazy to be hacked!!
Staples Center, Los Angeles, USA.
After getting the news that Li Yang scored 31 points in the Las Vegas Summer League half, the entire Clippers management fell into deep thought, and several senior executives who were not optimistic about the logo selection of Li Yang this time also temporarily closed their mouths.
The Staples Center Arena is the general manager's office of the Clippers.
"Wall, who sent Chris Paul away this year, started a rebuild. Now that Yang and Alexander are welcome, Li Yang has proven himself to be a very good attacker and playmaker, and now it is up to Alexander to take on the big role. ”
"Now that our backcourt has begun to take shape, it seems that we can form a backcourt two-gun combination!!" Logo man West said confidently.
Meanwhile, head coach Dow Rivers also received a call from Natalie Nakase.
Natalie Nakase briefly reported the results of the game to Doug Rivers: "The cooperation between Li Yang and Alexander was the turning point of this game, Li Yang's organizational ability was far more outstanding than we thought, under his leadership, the Warriors who had a smooth offense in the first quarter suddenly fell silent, they were directly beaten 10:0, and they were knocked down at halftime!" ”
Although Li Yang's offensive ability with the ball is much worse than his three-point shooting ability, his dribbling is very stable, and it is difficult for defenders to break off his dribble, but he lacks the corresponding offensive means with the ball.
Rivers also watched the footage of the first Summer League game, and it was clear that Li Yang's performance was not what he expected.
But he always had a pimple in his heart, after all, Li Yang was not selected by him, but a player selected by his old rival Male West.
Because to a certain extent, Li Yang's performance is directly related to how much voice West has in the management, and the better Li Yang performs, the more he has the right to speak in the management.
"I think I'll give him some playmaking and ball-handling tactics in the future, let him try a new style of play, and let him partner Alexander to form a new backcourt duo." Natalie Nakase asked.
"Yes, you're the head coach of this summer league, you can make your own decisions." After speaking, Rivers hung up the phone and looked at the night scene outside the window with a lonely expression.
Previously, Rivers had just renewed his contract with the team, and when he was in high spirits and was about to make a big splash, he didn't expect his son to be traded away by his old rival directly after the draft, and West gave him a blow to the head.
Reality is to destroy beautiful things to your face, and you are really powerless.
The next day, after the team's training match, Natalie Nakase walked to the sidelines to talk to Li Yang about her thoughts on the next game.
"Li Yang, how do you feel about your physical strength now?"
"I've gradually started to get used to the NBA-level guards, and there's definitely nothing wrong with the average point guard."
"Then the next time you play playmaking defenders and tie the team together as a whole.
Nowadays, many team coaches are studying the characteristics of your style of play through video, running without the ball is no longer satisfied, they will wrap you up, so that you can't receive passes, so you have to attack with the ball more, break through the ball, create opportunities for teammates, so that they dare not cover you.
For the sake of the team, I will wronged you to make a little change. ”
After Natalie Nakase finished speaking, she looked at Li Yang in shame.
"Just what I want! Coach, you are really your own little angel! After Li Yang listened, he still looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was a little excited in his heart.
He replied quietly: "I obey the coach's arrangement, and I am willing to make changes for the sake of the team." ”
After Natalie Nakase heard Li Yang's answer so deeply and righteously, she felt even more embarrassed, chatted with Li Yang for a few words, and prepared to leave.
