"You can reply to me at any time, think about it." As he parted, Scott smiled at Koharu and said.

But Yu Xiaochun knows that this is not an easy choice.

The cap master who is in a hot state is still a god with three points.

At present, Yang Yiming, which one does he need the most?

1/

Leaving the bizarre casino city of Las Vegas and paying just $16 in exchange for a conundrum for the odd man Scott Kalonsky III. Yu Xiaochun continued all the way north, along Interstate 15, to Salt Lake City to meet the Rockets.

A seven-hour drive.

Highway 15, which runs through Nevada and Utah, is often bordered by endless no-man's land, with the Gobi desert and the occasional sporadic winter forest dominating the landscape.

Adjusting the rented Toyota Prius to economy mode and turning on the cruise control function, Yu Xiaochun enjoyed a completely different scenery from the Texas winter, and he drove very comfortably on this part of the road. It's just that the problem is still in my mind and has been lingering.

The two schemes are evenly matched, and Scott is really the master of setting up the game.

Permanently improving Yang Yiming's three-point ability will definitely be the most beneficial in the long run of his career. Yang Yiming's "lifelong enemy" Jayson Tatum, although his score has dropped slightly recently, his three-point shooting rate still remains at an astonishing more than 50%, and he has begun to make a name for himself. Imagine what a terrifying top scorer it would be if he could maintain such a great shooting percentage throughout his career. And with Tatum's physical fitness and basketball IQ, he will only further use his deterrence on the outside to contain the opponent, and eventually choose to break or pass the ball, thus creating a greater threat!

However, this solution is not without its drawbacks. Scott reminded Yu Xiaochun that to improve his three-point shooting ability once and for all, Yang Yiming needs to learn at least one to two months, and the real time it takes in the end depends on personal understanding and dedication. Although Karonsky II praised Yang Yiming for his once-in-a-decade talent, no one could guarantee that he would be able to achieve the expected learning results in a short period of time. It's now close to mid-December, and once Yiming's three-point shot doesn't get any better until two months or more, and the season is already in its final stages, that little improvement will help him this year, and the race for the rookie of the year may have already been settled!

On the other hand, although the ability to block in a short period of ten games has skyrocketed, which may not be worth mentioning in the dimension of Yang Yiming's entire career, the effect of public opinion he has formed will be very considerable. Assuming that Yang Yiming's current average number of blocks per game is about one, although the block statistics of the Rockets team rank 12th in the league, there are only 4.9, if he can send 2 or more hot pots in ten consecutive games, not only can he occupy almost half of the team, but the media may also further add fuel to the fire! In this era of being keen on making gods and holding stars, "Mutombo in the third position", "The Great Wall of China that does not fall", "The best defensive rookie", these exaggerated names can be applied to Yang Yiming in minutes. As long as the impression of a "defensive giant" is planted in the hearts of fans and reporters, who cares if his block count has dropped back to the normal level after these ten games?

It's really hard to choose!

Yu Xiaochun, who self-persuaded and self-denied all the way, did not think of a proper result until the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz away game began.

Maybe I should watch him play and make a decision, he said to himself.

In this game of the Rockets vs. Jazz, if you just look at the technical statistics, the performance of the two teams is indistinguishable, but the Rockets completely crushed the tenacious Jazz with a three-point shot. With 18-of-42 shooting and 42.9 percent three-point shooting, the Rockets overpowered the Jazz, who shot 11-of-30 from 36.7 percent, in the three three-point stats.

In the Rockets, Battery Ryan Anderson, known as "one man is tactical", fired on all his power, and made many unreasonable long-range shots from beyond the three-point line in the second and third quarters, interrupting the beautiful jazz of the Utah vain attempt to fight back. With 5 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 5 two-pointers, Anderson almost missed a shot tonight!

Although Yang Yiming also shot three three-pointers, compared to Anderson's efficiency, his three-pointers came from exactly ten shots, and the shooting rate was 30%. According to Scott, if everything in this world can be expressed in terms of 0s and 1s, then the final number of hits on these ten shots becomes a matter of probability.

The offensive performance was not sharp enough, and Yang Yiming made up for it on the defensive end. At the start of the second half, the Rockets led by only five points, but unlike the usual offensive opening up, this time they wrestled with the defensive Jazz. Yang Yiming is in charge of keeping an eye on the Jazz's meteoric rising star Donovan Mitchell. He adopted a different defensive strategy than in the first half, not choosing to switch with his teammates after the pick-and-roll, but grabbing a step to keep the ball carrier under pressure on Mitchell. And his Rockets teammates, Harden, Ariza, and Anderson, fell to the wings and resolutely did not give Mitchell a chance to share the ball, and Capela, who bounced amazingly, sat in the paint area, ready to break through at any time. Under this kind of strict defense, Mitchell, who is not experienced enough in the NBA and is young and vigorous, can only choose the most inefficient mid- and long-distance shooting, not only playing iron again and again, but also making mistakes and being stealed twice by Yang Yiming and playing a counterattack; Another time, Mitchell wanted to jump up and shoot, but after staying in the air, he found that Yang Yiming had already sealed all the shooting sights, and he wanted to temporarily adjust in the air and throw the ball to Rubio on the side, but he was still slapped off by Yang Yiming's long arm who was also fast-eyed, and his teammate Ariza picked up the basketball.

In terms of technical statistics, this aerial interception was recorded as a cap by Yang Yiming.

Yiming also had a block in this game, which also happened in this quarter. At that time, the Jazz had been stretched to a nine-point gap by Anderson's three-point shot, and Joe Ingles received Rubio's lateral second pass in the bottom right corner and threw his trademark left-handed three-pointer, and the fans in the audience were almost ready to stand and cheer to celebrate the team's approaching again, but the ball bounced back and forth on the basket a few times before popping out. France's Gobert, who had just returned from injury, was locked in a grinder battle with Anderson and Capela, and the ball was picked out of the box in a chaotic battle and bounced back into the direction of the unguarded Ingles. He picks up the ball, takes a step forward, and throws it with his hand.

According to Ingles' design, the ball was originally weightless, and the throwing could avoid the Rockets' two-person defense under the basket, which was nine out of ten. Yang Yiming, who was still at the free throw line when he got the ball just now, actually took this opportunity to kill him, like a whistling derailment train, and even the ball fanned himself into the audience behind the basket!

A young Jazz fan and his father on the sidelines were unfortunately recruited and became Yang Yiming's human flesh pad. The drink in his hand was not spared, and he spilled it directly.

Yang Yiming apologized again and again, and Yu Xiaochun, who was on the bench, saw this scene, and hurriedly asked for the team's towel and ran to hand it to the father and son. Unexpectedly, the father and son who were drenched in water and the home team had just eaten a big hat were not angry, and happily pulled Yang Yiming to sit between the two. The little fan actually took out his mobile phone and handed it to his father to take a group photo of the three of them before finally letting him go.

The fans were also moved by this warm episode, and gave him warm encouragement and applause when Yang Yiming returned to the field.

"He's playing really well and he's going to have a great future!" When Yu Xiaochun handed the sweat towel to the father, he gave a thumbs up and praised it.

And what about the little fan next to him? I can't wait to get back to my phone and send the group photo to my friends to show off.

Looking at them, Yu Xiaochun's hesitant choice before seemed to have an answer suddenly.
