Chapter 161: An Unexpected Interview
Just when Ye Xuan was conducting his own low-post training and studying how to effectively get rid of the opponent's defense, an unexpected person appeared in front of him, "Hey, boy, come to my office." Ye Xuan stopped the training in his hand and looked up to see that Larry Bird, who hadn't appeared for a while.
So Ye Xuan didn't think much about it, immediately put down the basketball in his hand, and followed Bird away. When he came to Bird's office, Ye Xuan also sat on the sofa next to him honestly and unceremoniously, "Hey, boss, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you looking for me today?" Ye Xuan was the first to ask.
"I'm glad you can achieve such an achievement in such a short period of time, the person who was able to reach the Finals in his rookie season and turn the tide, I have hardly seen a few, the last one who was so powerful, it was my old opponent Johnson, you know, he got the FMVP of that year in his rookie season."
"Hahahaha, I've won awards, I told you that I'm very talented, look at now, I helped you bring your dear team to the finals, and now everyone thinks we can get the final victory, how about it, as the person who brought me to the team with his own hands, you feel good now, right?" Ye Xuan was very shameless, and immediately took the credit for the team's entry into the finals on his head.
"Haha, stinky boy, I have to say that signing you was indeed the most correct thing I did after becoming the general manager, you know, when you broke into my private basketball court, I was having a headache for the team's recruitment, and it just so happened that you showed super shooting talent, I originally wanted to train you to be a spot shooter like Kyle Korver or Steve Novak." Bird laughed, then began to recall.
Then he continued, "But the abilities you showed later on did impress me, especially your physical and physical improvements, which made me wonder if you were a human construct after all, you know, I have never seen a person train themselves from the physical fitness of an ordinary adult to a beast capable of fighting for 40 minutes in the NBA in less than 4 months. ”
Ye Xuan listened to Bird's surprise, and at the same time thought to himself, "It must be that Lao Tzu didn't have any systematic training when he was physically tested, so he drew it at the beginning." Michael Kidd Gilchrist's physical talent didn't fully show, and then as I got used to all aspects of this body, the physical aspect of the body naturally improved, although for me it was just a return to the strength I should have, but it seemed to the outside world that my physical fitness was improving by leaps and bounds. ”
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and secretly screamed, "It's not that the old man found out about my special situation, and wants to arrest me and send me to some American research institute for slicing and research, no, no, I have to explain it like an excuse." ”
Bird didn't know what Ye Xuan was thinking, and when he saw that Ye Xuan didn't answer, he said to himself, "Later, you showed yourself different, your defense, so that the coach willingly put you on the bench list, you know?" Before I got you, Frank called me every two days and asked me to strengthen the team because he didn't want to continue to be toyed with against the Heat. ”
I have to say that Ye Xuan is indeed a genius of lying, Bird just said these two sentences, Ye Xuan's excuse has already been thought of, "Defense is of course something I have to master, you know, when I am on the streets, sometimes if I can't defend a certain ball, it can make me hungry all day, to be honest, when I accidentally broke into your private basketball court that day, my first reaction was to want to play heads-up with you, and then take the opportunity to win a little money so that I can go to a big meal." ”
Speaking of this, Ye Xuan paused at the right time, then pretended to think of something, and continued, "That's right, boss. Do you think I was because I didn't train systematically enough when I was on the street before, and my nutritional conditions were not good, so I didn't show enough strength during the physical test, and then after becoming a member of the Pacers, my diet gradually became regular, coupled with systematic training, so you will think that my physical fitness has improved very quickly. ”
Bird listened to Ye Xuan's analysis, but did not doubt him, "Well, boy, what you said also has some truth, it seems that Lao Tzu's luck is indeed good, and he met a genius like you who is buried on the street." Then he finally remembered that he had something serious to talk about when he was looking for Ye Xuan today, so he immediately said, "Okay, boy, the old time is over, and now we have to talk about some serious things." ”
When Ye Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight with his body slumped into the sofa. Bird then continued: "This is the most critical period for the team, although we are now leading the opponent 2-1, but the opponent is a team that has been in the playoffs for 15 years in a row, and has always been in the upper echelons of the league, they have won 4 championships with Duncan, they have a lot of experience, and we, Paul and you, two hairy boys are leading the team, so we must not take it lightly." ”
After a pause, Bird continued: "We observed that in the first few games, you were very restrained by Leonard, and this should have been Frank's job, but I still have to tell you that Leonard's kraft candy defense, what he is most afraid of is to move the ball quickly, and then cover without the ball, and run to catch the ball. You know what I'm talking about, boy? You spend too much time on the pitch with the ball! That's why your opponent can keep you restrained in this way. ”
Ye Xuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and then shook his head again, "Boss, do you mean that you want me to start playing without the ball directly?" Is that going to put George in the starting lineup? ”
"Paul can also take on the responsibility of organizing the offense, you need to communicate with him more, now you two are the signature of the Pacers, I don't want either of the two of you to be locked up by the opponent and cause the team to collapse, at least 25 of the 41 points in your last game were scored when Leonard didn't defend you, the next game, the opponent will definitely not give you such a chance, Leonard will definitely be the same as you, because they also know to lock you up, and then use the bag tactic to deal with Paul, Then the ability of the few men we have left to attack with the ball is not a concern. ”
