Chapter 42: The Immature Pickled Pepper

After the system turned on the dungeon, Young began to train intensively, going out for a long-distance run every morning, then going to the gym to build muscles, going to the team to practice when the team had training tasks, and in his free time he went to practice shooting himself - imitating Jordan's shooting gestures. In the evening, watch the team's edited video of the Pacers and Suns games, analyze their style of play, the specific strength of the players, and their subtle movements on the court, because they are the next two consecutive away opponents.

In short, Yang Yi used all the time he could use to enrich himself and improve himself, and no longer relied entirely on the system's ability as before. He's making changes, even if everything he's doing doesn't improve his strength much now.

Monty Williams takes to heart the recent changes in the fat man, who was strong before, but not as hard as he is now. He couldn't help but sigh: It is said that the stronger the stronger, it is true! If Yang Yi makes up for his shortcomings, there will be absolutely no problem in becoming a superstar in a short period of time.

Time flies when it's busy. Fast forward to Friday, November 23, and the Hornets travel to the Central Division to challenge the Pacers.

The Bankers Live Arena, where players on both sides are still making final adjustments in the locker room. Yang Yi quickly entered the system after coming to the bathroom under the pretext of squatting, and he wanted to see what the star difficulty of the Song of the Brave was.

Replica 1: Song of the Brave

One-Star Mission: Take away the victory away from home

Yang knew a little when he saw the task, the glory points were really not so easy to brush, Nima was only one star and it was so difficult, and the later ones would only be more difficult!

Two-star mission: Deliver twenty assists

Three-star mission: Score a triple-double

Four-Star Mission: Score 50 points

Five-star mission: Twenty seals will be given away (Note: Points can be accumulated after the completion of this star mission)

It's really not ordinary! The fat man shook his head and walked back to the locker room as he thought. In this star mission, the one-star mainly relies on the team, and most of the rest can only rely on individual ability, and if you want to get more glory points, you have to rely on your own efforts.

Back in the locker room, head coach Williams was arranging tactics, and after seeing the fat man come back, he patted Yang Yi on the shoulder and said: "Our style of play is the same as usual, mainly outside firepower scoring." The strength of the Pacers' interior line should not be underestimated, and Hibbert's teaming up with West to guard the interior line is enough to make the interior line solid. Saying this, he glanced at the Hornets' inside line, Lopez and Anderson, and sighed in his heart: two soft stomachs. Lopez has a wild hairstyle, but he always breaks when he encounters tougher inside, and Anderson prefers to stay on the outside more than inside, and often shoots three-pointers. Alas! If the Hornets have a few tough interior lines, they can look forward to this year's playoffs!

……

The game is about to start with starters from both sides. The Hornets' starting five remained unchanged, while the Pacers' starting small forward Danny Granger was sidelined with an injury and was replaced by Paul George. So the starting lineup for the Pacers is: Roy Hibbert, PF David West, SF Paul George, SG Gerard Green, PG George Hill.

The two sides jumped in the middle circle, 2.18m Hibbert versus 2.13m Lopez, Hibbert easily got the tee for the Pacers. It's also funny to say that since the start of the new season, the Hornets have rarely been able to get the kick-off, and Lopez has taken great credit!

George Hill held the ball and pushed forward, and Yang Yi stretched out his arms to block in front of Hill. Although the fat man's automatic speed is very slow, his ultra-long arm span of 2.16 meters still brings him a lot of convenience, at least he will not be thrown away by the opposing player's acceleration. But the fat man thought about his failing defense, and he felt a little bottomless. With a full value of 100, he took 38, I'm afraid he can't even compare to the mustache nightclub!

Hill is also a veteran of the league, and he has enough experience to tackle players who are clearly porous in defense. The fat man's slow movement was well grasped by him, and he broke through to the left with the ball, and then suddenly stopped and turned to the right. Although Yang Yi judged Hill's ball path, his turning speed couldn't keep up, and he could only see Hill disappearing.

However, after being breached, he did not slack off, but struggled to pounce on Paul George not far away. When he studied the video of the Pacers' game before, he found that Hill encountered blocks after breaking through and liked to burst points, and after breaking through the fat man this time, Hill encountered Aminu's block, and the closest player to Hill with an open spot was only Paul George. So he didn't hesitate to give the ball to Pickle Pepper.

"Be careful!" David West yelled and reminded Pepper. He saw the fat man's path of movement, which was right in the way of Hill's pass.

Hill's ball had already been passed, and Pickled Pepper sped up to the ball when he heard the alert.

Unfortunately, it was too late! The fat man arrived first, and grabbed the ball into his hand with a wave of his big hand. Eric Gordon slashed diagonally into his own frontcourt, and Young threw the ball to a dusty Gordon. Gordon quickly dribbled across the three-point line after receiving the ball, then took three quick steps, crossed the free throw line and dunked to score two points easily.

At the beginning, the fat man scored a steal and an assist, making a good start for the team!

When Gordon came back to defend, he played shoulder bump with Yang Yi, and said with a smile: "Not bad, fat man, it seems that the video of the past few days has not been watched in vain!" ”

"That is, don't you look at what kind of person your brother is, is this comprehension ability comparable to ordinary people? By the way, Eric, you have to work hard today, I'll pass the ball more for you when I get a chance! ”

"No problem, the task of scoring will be handed over to my little prince in the nightclub!"

"Okay, if you don't get twenty assists in your hands today, you know the consequences!"

Gordon's face was bitter when he heard this, Nima is a superman when I am a superman, I can give you twenty assists at will, and the black mamba may not be able to do it when he comes.

"Fat brother, fat man, I can't make a mistake, you are the boss of the team, and you have to pick the lead in scoring tasks."

"Erik, you have to believe in yourself, your job in this game is to get the ball from me and score as many points, you know? Of course, my own firepower will also be strengthened, and I won't let you face the Pacers' five-man defense alone! ”

"Okay, I'll try." Gordon could only nod, Yang Yi had said this, what else could he say.

After the Pacers' possession of the ball, after the ball was passed to the interior, Lopez and Anderson each stepped up their defense. Because the Pacers' interior defense is really good, but Hibbert and West's low-post offense is not good. Hibbert has not yet developed a low-post offense, and his offensive means are mostly dunks under the basket; West can't develop and can only shoot from mid-range. So after strengthening the defense, the Pacers struggled inside, and finally the ball returned to the hands of the outside players, and Paul George ended the offense with a mid-range shot. However, it may have just started, and his hand was still relatively cold, and the ball flew out of the basket and was grabbed by Anderson.

At this time, Pickled Pepper was still relatively immature, and he had not yet developed strong offensive firepower after entering the league for two years, nor had he yet won the MIP (Most Improved Player Award).
