On January 1, when fans in China began their National Day holiday, the nBa players in the United States officially returned to the team, and the 2o13-2o14 season training camp officially opened on this day.

Although many Spurs players have already returned to San Toonio to train, the real training camp started on this day.

On this day, ** Vic did not arrange other training, but directly conducted an intra-team match, in the name of looking at the results of the players' training this summer.

As a result, most of the players are in very good shape, even those who didn't return to San Donio early, and it's clear that the Spurs players have been training at a certain intensity this summer.

Of course, the form of these players is far less than the surprise that the improvement of Li Yang and Leonard has brought to the Spurs coaching staff and Spurs players.

When Li Yang broke through the dribble again and again, and then used the turn or European step to score under the basket, Parker and Ginobili were happy, and they kept saying to Duncan: "Hey, Tim, see, Yang taught this by me." ”

When Li Yang stood in the bottom corner from time to time in the game to receive a pass from a teammate and shoot a three-pointer, or completed a shot after running and catching the ball in the middle distance, England De happily said to ** Vic: "Yang has a very strong comprehension and adaptability in shooting, and his shooting will become more and more stable and excellent." ”

Of course, there is also Leonard, watching Leonard turn around and jump at the baseline again and again or make a mid-range stop-and-go jump shot, even Li Yang can't prevent it, and the Spurs players are extremely surprised.

Among the three, Danny Green is the least likely to see improvement, he has been working his physical strength and shooting this summer, and of course he has practiced his ball-handling offense, but that is still not his strong point, so it is difficult for others to see his progress.

But in fact, this summer of training with Li Yang and Leonard, Danny Green, who is often opposite the two, has risen a level in physical confrontation, and his shooting has become more consistent.

For these, ** Vicky is naturally in his eyes, which makes him very happy, although he has been paying attention to the training of several people this summer, and even often appears in the stadium to train with a few people in the future, but seeing that several people can show their improved ability in the confrontation game, ** Vicky is naturally happy in his heart, and even the matter of being poached with assistants has been left behind.

A few days after the start of the training camp, the nBa preseason began, but in the opinion of ** Vic, the nBa preseason is purely redundant, honing tactics? Keeping track of the players' progress in the summer?

In Vicky's opinion, such a game is not as intuitive as his intra-team training.

In the regular season, Vicky will choose to rotate players in large areas, let alone in the preseason?

In the seven preseason games, the GDP combination barely played much, even if there was one preseason game against the Heat, and the outside world was looking forward to the exciting battle in the Finals again.

But when it came to the game, the three veterans of the Spurs took turns resting, and they were speechless for a while......

Seven preseason games, not only GDP playing time is less, even Li Yang, Leonard, Green playing time is not much, including Split, Dio, these players who can get stable playing time in the regular season, ** Vicky is to let the players play some symbolic time.

There is not much playing time, and Li Yang's results of hard training this summer naturally do not have much time to show, but Li Yang is not in a hurry, there are 82 games in the regular season, and there is time.

The preseason is over, the regular season is approaching, and when Li Yang was training in the arena that day, ** Vic suddenly came up and said to talk to him.

Li Yang followed **vic to a corner of the court, **vic glanced at Li Yang and said: "Yang, your progress this summer surprised us, I want to hear your position for the next season." ”

"Positioning?" Li Yang was stunned, then shook his head and said, "POP, I didn't think about this issue. ”

Li Yang is telling the truth, this summer he was silent in training every day, feeling his little bit of progress, and he didn't think about this problem at all.

"You're good enough to play on any team in the nBa." Speaking of this, Vicky paused slightly, glanced at Li Yang, and then continued.

"But I want you to continue to play a substitute role next season, of course, not as a regular substitute, you can think of Manu a few years ago, although he was a substitute, but he would be the most important part of the team."

"The Sixth Man?" Li Yang now understood the meaning of ** Vicky's words.

** Vicky shook his head, "Level six." ”

"The sixth person? That sounds like a good title. Li Yang smiled after hearing this.

Vicky immediately continued: "Yes, sixth man, you'll have more ball and offensive power on the bench, and with your current ability, it's hard for the average bench player on other teams to defend your offense, and you'll not only be the most important weapon on the team's bench, but you'll also be a contender for the league's best sixth man." ”

"Sounds good." Li Yang smiled, he knew at this time, ** Wei Wei was starting to pour chicken soup on himself, and the purpose Li Yang naturally knew that after seeing his ability to improve this summer, he hoped that he could continue to be a substitute willingly.

However, Li Yang doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, in the Spurs, in fact, there is not much difference from the playing time of the sixth man, just look at Ginobili last season. And in the lineup, Parker will occupy the absolute ball, stay on the bench, and hone his offensive skills and improve himself through more ball-handling offense, which is actually a good arrangement.

"Of course, that's pretty good." Hearing that Li Yang was about to go on the road, ** Wei immediately nodded heavily and said, he felt that his flickering was almost successful.

"Okay." Li Yang also nodded at this time, "My goal in the new season is to be the best sixth man, pop, I think with your full support, I will definitely be able to win this award." ”

** Vicky was about to nod, but something was wrong, he seemed to be talking about a chance to hit the Best Sixth Man award, when did he say that he fully supported it?

At this time, Li Yang had already continued to speak: "POP, if you want to hit the best sixth man, playing time is the key, I think 35 minutes per game should be about the same, well, that's it." ”

After saying this, Li Yang spread his legs and left, as if he was afraid that ** Vicky would regret it, ** Vicky was also happy at this time, he originally wanted to fool Li Yang, but this is good, this guy is now fooling himself.

Still 35 minutes? Dream on! In his own hands, how can he be a player who has played 3o minutes. However, the playing time of the main players will not exceed 3O, so the playing time of this kid as the sixth person will not be less. (To be continued.) )8
