Chapter Twenty-Three: Three Against Three, Who Fears Who
In the final analysis, Li Yang is still a nineteen-year-old young man, with the characteristics that this age should have: young and vigorous, sharp.
If in such a special environment as in China, as a public figure, he sometimes has to be restrained in doing things and leave room for it, so as not to be too passive.
But it's different abroad, Li Yang has been in the United States for more than two months, and he has already figured out what kind of law is here: the rule of survival of the strong.
Life itself is a battle, if you don't want to be eliminated by life and social competition, you should strive to be a strong person rather than a weak one. And if you want to become a strong man, you should learn the spirit of the wolf: always maintain the mentality of a strong man!
For those who dare to provoke you, the only way is to fight back against him with strength, directly beat him down, and beat him down! Only the strong can gain the respect of others!
Hearing the movement, Selena walked over from the sidelines, and after figuring out the situation, she looked at the players who were making trouble with cold eyes, and said angrily to Li Yang: "Yang, these people are too hateful, you should give them a little color, otherwise they will dance more happily." ”
"Of course, that's a must, who made them so cheap." Li Yang grinned.
"Because I'm a Chinese guy and a rookie guard with the 13th pick in the first round, I'm naturally jealous, ostracized and despised by some people, and I've been prepared for it for a long time."
"It was like that, it's going to be like that, and it's going to be that way even if I'm in the NBA. This is inevitable, and what I need to do is to prove myself with strength actions, slap them in the face with strong strength, and make those who dare to underestimate me all shut up. ”
"Uh...... It's so domineering! Selena opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Li Yang with admiration, and said secretly in her heart, "I didn't see that this young man who looks like Sven Wen on the surface has such a domineering side, which is really impressive." ”
"There is a tiger in the heart, sniff the rose!" That's what he's talking about.
At this time, on the field, the three people on the other side were ready, and then looked at Li Yang with a smile.
The first of the trio to challenge Li Yang was Desi Rodriguez, a guard from Seton Hall University who participated in the '18 draft and was ultimately missed.
The other two are Tyler Harris, the younger brother of Clippers player Tobias Harris, who can be regarded as a relation, and is a cannon fodder for the time being.
The last one is Angel Delgado from the Dominican Republic, who plays as a big center forward and is physically strong.
Coincidentally, these three are all undrafted, and the undrafted team is formed, and it seems that they are unwilling, this is what you call the Avengers.
The trio are small forwards, guards, and centers, forming an iron triangle, which is a reasonable underdraft combination.
Li Yang's side looked very casual, he was not stunned at all, just glanced at the crowd, and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone willing to form a team with me?" ”
Strategically despising the enemy and tactically attaching importance to the enemy is the magic weapon to defeat the enemy!
Hearing this, the three of Rodriguez raised their eyebrows, very angry at Li Yang's contempt, and secretly swore in their hearts that they would make Li Yang pay the due price for his arrogance for a while.
According to their initial imagination, Li Yang will definitely choose two powerful ones, such as Alexander and Reggie Apshoe, these two people are very good, if Li Yang chooses them, Harris and the three of them will have no bottom in their hearts.
But Li Yang's casual question is tantamount to giving up the opportunity to choose independently, and in this way, the situation is even more unfavorable for him.
"Count me in." The first to raise his hand was Alexander, who used to be an enemy he didn't know and now a friend or younger brother of Li Yang.
Seeing Alexander speak, the faces of the three Rodriguez changed slightly.
Shay Gilgeous Alexander, the No. 11 pick that the Clippers traded with the Hornets in this year's draft, is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms, and is from the University of Kentucky.
With such a guy and Li Yang, Harris and the others naturally have to worry, even if Li Yang is really not worthy of his name, but Alexander cannot be underestimated.
"I'll come."
Another voice rang out.
This time it is Thunder Grant Gerret, who is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 105 kilograms, plays as a power forward, and now plays for the CBA Beijing Shougang Basketball Club, which is the so-called CBA teammate.
However, Grant Gerrett is physically strong, and he also has an excellent three-point shot and is still an excellent rebounder.
"It's good that I didn't pick Apsio, otherwise it would have been miserable, this Li Yang took retreat as advance, it was too insidious, we almost fell for him." The three of Rodriguez breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Li Yang didn't plan to pick anything, and he still relied on his own hardness to strike iron, and when he saw that the second person was already there, he directly settled down and stretched out his right hand to Grant Jarret: "Gerette, from now on, you are my teammate." ”
Alexander Gajret, as well as Li Yang, formed a team, a combination of two defenders on a forward line.
A group of players retreated to the sidelines, leaving them a half-court with trainers on the side, and this kind of three-on-three informal exchange is very common in team training, and many times the players will play like this when they have nothing to do, so no one will interfere.
"Jerrett, you play inside, Alexander, you play playmaking guard, I'll play shooting guard." Li Yang called Jaret and Alexander in front of him, "The defense is on the spot, and the defense is changed in time after the block." The organization was handed over to Alexander, and I had to give those guys a little color. ”
"No problem."
“OK。”
The two readily agreed.
A trainer as a referee blew the whistle, and Li Yang generously threw the ball to Rodriguez: "Come on, let you kick off first, no need to fight for the ball." ”
Strategically despising the opponent and tactically attaching importance to the opponent is the magic weapon to defeat the enemy!
"You ......" Rodriguez's face was swollen red, but he still didn't object, he snorted coldly, and the midfielder began to serve and gave it to Harris.
As soon as Harris got the ball, Alexander quickly stuck to it.
Although Harris is taller than Alexander and has a certain advantage in weight, Alexander's ultra-long arm span effectively interferes with Harris's dribbling, forcing him to pass back to Rodriguez.
"Huaxia boy, open your eyes and see, how did Lao Tzu score this goal." Rodriguez glanced at Li Yang contemptuously, first dribbling under his crotch in a continuous cross-step, skillful and fast, and then suddenly changing direction and breaking through to the left.
Li Yang quickly moved a step to the right, blocking the opponent's path.
With the sound of "bell", the battle between men, the collision between muscles, Li Yang was caught off guard and was knocked back a small step.
At this time, Rodriguez grinned proudly, suddenly half turned around, pushed Li Yang away, turned back to the same place, continued to break through to the left, and quickly cut into the basket.
"Good shot!"
On the sidelines, some players couldn't help but applaud.
This breakthrough is indeed beautiful, Rodriguez relied on his physical advantage to push Li Yang away, turned around, completed the breakthrough, and cut into the basket. Due to the disadvantage of height and weight, Li Yang could only follow closely and reach out to interfere.
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, Rodriguez leaned on Li Yang, then jumped up, and gently picked it up with his right hand.
However, just when he thought the ball was easily completed for a layup, suddenly a dark shadow fell from the sky.
"Smack!"
There was a crisp sound, and I saw a thick arm stretching out of the air from his head, it was Jarret's right palm, which directly pressed the ball on the rebound, and the basketball was bounced away in an instant.
"......"
"Jerret, good hat!"
In the midst of this exclamation, Li Yang rushed out, grabbed the ball before Harris, and quickly ran out of the three-point line.
Gerette stood under the basket with a flat expression on his face, as if the cap just now was just a trivial matter, but that nonchalant smile still betrayed him, otherwise this forced pretend could have scored full marks.
"Orichette!" Rodriguez cursed in his heart, and then quickly pounced outside the three-point line, afraid that Li Yang would take the opportunity to sneak attack and suddenly shoot a cold arrow.
Glancing at Rodriguez, Li Yang smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of others." That Xiao Luo, are you ready now, I'm going to attack! ”
"Hmph." Rodriguez snorted angrily, "Don't talk about these useless things, let the horses come!" ”
Li Yang dribbled with his left and right hands, his speed was getting faster and faster, his eyes were full of an unstoppable domineering, his eyes were firmly fixed on Rodriguez who was blocking him, he suddenly started, relied on his speed to shake off the opponent neatly, and rushed towards the basket with a brisk step.
But in the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the basketball hoop and jumped immediately, and Delgado, who had been waiting under the basket for a long time, jumped almost at the same time as him, reaching out to block directly.
However, the next scene made him stunned, Li Yang's body actually began to slowly lean back in mid-air, the distance between the two became farther and farther, Li Yang perfectly avoided the other party's cover, and at the moment when the body fell, his wrist flicked, and the basketball jumped over the opponent's head lightly, hollow into the net.
"You've been fooled!!"
"Huh!"
The goal was scored, and the score was 1:0.
"Oh my God, what did I see just now?" Alexander did not hesitate to tout.
"Jarett, do you see? This is a gifted brother! Alexander looked proud.
"Uh......, Alexander, you're also the No. 11 show!!" Geret looked at Alexander speechlessly.
