Chapter 122: The Last Spot
The pre-season of the new season has begun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this preseason, the Emperor team landed in China and held a match in BJ, which detonated the enthusiasm of the audience.
Pre-season is both a game to grind in the team and a game to scout the players.
In several preseason games, the Imperial team did not send all the main forces, but just led the old with the new, played casually, and still achieved a complete victory.
With the pre-season over and the regular season just around the corner, the team still has one final spot to compete for with two guards competing for a spot on Raglan's bench. Both men are superb marksmen, and because they lost the draft, they went to the training camps of various teams in order to earn a spot in the Ultimate League.
In addition to Wang Weiyu, Merris, Jing Qi, Raglan, and Carmen, the five main players who can't beat the thunder, there are Montgomery, who entered the team through the draft this year, interior substitute Blue, veteran Zoe, Deyour, Kelson, Wally, and athletic forward Huntington Clive and blue-collar interior Stilwell Nickle, who joined the Imperial team this summer.
Now, the personnel are almost full, and there is still a spot for Dunlop Taylor, a guard from the United Kingdom, who is competing against Tulce Turner, a shooting guard who was undrafted in this year's fourth-year draft.
This is the final matchup before the start of the regular season, and this matchup will determine who is the last person left.
So, Wang Weiyu, Deyour, Zoe, Stilwell, and Dunlop are the white team; Jing Qi, Carmen, Blue, Stilwell, and Tours are on the black team.
"Why am I a referee? Actually asked me to be a referee? What do you guys think? Raglan was particularly unhappy with the decision of the crowd, "You are using your sword to chop pork, it is unforgivable!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Hansen doesn't have time today, you will be the referee, and you won't be able to play anyway." Wang Weiyu said. "Good, good!" Raglan put on white short sleeves and hung the whistle around his neck, "One! Don't be rash, two, don't go against the will of the referee, the greatest player and referee of all time, Raglan Gentleman, the God of Shooting Dalle ......"
Before the stinky and long self-introduction was over, Merris picked up the ball and threw it over, "What kind of nonsense did you start talking about in the first place?" "You're so good that you can't play like me!" Raglan said angrily.
"That's what I deliberately didn't fight." Merris forced excuses.
In fact, it was Herbert who wanted to investigate Huntington's abilities a little more, so he sent Merris to train alone.
"Okay, the old rules of the game, it's divided into two halves, half an hour and twelve minutes, let's start now." Herbert exclaimed.
So, everyone stopped frolicking, and each got into his place, ready to jump the ball. Jing Qi stepped forward, and after summer training, his body was much thicker, and his weight stabilized at 109 kilograms. It can be seen that his muscles have changed significantly.
If he was a muscular boy last season, he can now be called a devil muscleman.
He has a very low fat content, and after systematic training in the summer, his confrontation has made great progress, and it is the muscles in his arms, once he exerts his strength, the muscle masses emerge in pieces, and the texture is full.
In the jump ball link, there was no suspense, and Jing Qi relied on his long arm to win the ball.
Carmen's injury had actually healed in the playoffs last year, and Herbert was worried about disrupting the team's chemistry, so he put Carmen out of action and spent the summer stocking up on fitness for the new season.
Today is like a tiger out of the cage, Carmen is one step faster, Zoe can't stop, and these two veterans, who are almost seventy years old together, spare no effort to fight.
Carmen understands her task and runs to a certain position and plays the ball quickly. On the outside, Tours held the ball and beat Dunlop, his body had a great advantage over Dunlop, changed direction and then crushed it with his weight, Dunlop couldn't block it, and was cleanly removed.
Tours was suddenly beautiful, but the final finish was not good. Under Stilwell's strong interference, he missed the shot, and Jing Qi behind him raised his long arm, grabbed the rebound and pressed it down at the same time, making up for the dunk.
The strengths and weaknesses of Tours made Herbert forget his physical fitness again and again. The advantage is that there is a clear advantage over the white guard in the same position, and after breaking through the inside, there is a lack of response to the help defense, and the shooting rate is often rushed, and the shooting percentage drops sharply.
"And, you can't pass the ball." This is a crucial point, and Herbert redraws a circle.
On the white team, Zoe also controlled the ball, and both teams did not let the core team play in order to test the players.
Dunlop showed something different. The body suffers, but his shooting is reassuring, and he knows how to tear up space with his moves.
"If his confrontation could have been better..."Herbert thought it was ridiculous, if Dunlop's confrontation could have been better, I am afraid he would have been signed long ago. The reason why it has dragged on until now is that his physical fitness is well below the league average.
Wang Weiyu wanted to create some opportunities for Dunlop. Approach him and make your eyes signal him to block it. As a result, Dunlop not only did not use his blocking, but instead helped Wang Weiyu block Stilwell.
Stunned, Wang Weiyu quickly poured out, it was indeed his better chance.
Zoe passes. Wang Weiyu missed the three-point vacancy and missed the shot, but it made him think, "This guy is very smart to play." ”
It's always comfortable working with smart people, and this quote applies to any profession. Smart people are popular everywhere, and Dunlop's move cleverly caters to Wang Weiyu, giving the opportunity to play to the boss, what a good flattery.
Then, in order to prove his attacking power, Tours came up with a dozen or four on the offensive end, which continued to lower Herbert's impression score.
On the contrary, it was Dunlop, and on the offensive end was simply another Raglan. A more scummy defense than Raglan, a lot worse than Raglan's positioning, and a detailed combination that is full of European defenders.
In this defense, the black team's rotation made mistakes, and Tours faced an embarrassing situation of one defense and two.
Dunlop passes to the left and gives it to Zoe. Zoe's shot feint drew Tours, and then to Dunlop.
Dunlop lifted the ball, and Tours galloped like a mad dog to block it. It was at this time that a bad intent flashed in Dunlop's eyes, and he suddenly withdrew his hand, got up again, and touched Tours.
Raglen blew the whistle when he arrived. I wanted to have a three-plus-one, but after being fouled, his strength was insufficient, and the ball fell to the ground halfway through. Fortunately, it was a shooting foul and he could make three free throws.
Tours had an ugly face, he had been played back and forth like a monkey just a moment ago, and now he had been fouled, and the gates of the Imperial Team were slowly closing to him.
For Herbert, the goal just now showed more than just cleverness.
Statistically, that position is Dunlop's lowest three-point shooting percentage, and it's impossible for him not to know. If it was any other point, then when Zoe passed the ball back to him, he would have shot straight away.
The reason why he chose to make a foul was that he expected Tours to pounce. Considering his own shooting percentage in that position, it is better to make a foul when shooting.
Herbert put down the paper in his hand, and said in his heart, there is no need to observe anymore, it is already obvious who leaves and who stays.
"Hey, physical fitness is given by parents, confrontation ability is acquired, if you want to improve, you have to work harder." Raglan suggested to Dunlop.
"Thank you for the offer, I'll seriously consider it." Dunlop smiled: "If we can compete together in the future, I will improve faster." "I think you have a good chance, you're the type of coach you like." Raglan laughed.
"Perhaps." Dunlop wasn't that confident.
In fact, he had made a very good impression on the hearts of the people of the Imperial Army, intelligent, humble, and like an English gentleman.
