Chapter 2: The Fat Man's Change

The next day, all the members of the team arrived, and Yang Yi met the team's number one star Anthony Davis for the first time.

As a star player of high school students in the United States, Davis's self-confidence is beyond doubt, although he still looks very young, and the training clothes on his body are no different from everyone, but the aura of superstar seedlings is not possessed by all players on the scene, including Yang Yi.

The fat man is currently relying on the help of the system to get into Kentucky, although he looks very strong, and his arms and legs are thick, but he still can't hide the thick hanging silk aura on his body.

Calipari clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He said calmly: "There is less than a month left before the new season, and I can see whether your performance is good or bad. I wasn't very familiar with you before, except for the veterans. Next, there will be a group competition, and the person whose name I read will stand up. ”

"C Anthony Davis, PF Michael Gilchrist, SF Terrence Jones, SG Darren Lamb, PG Marquis Teague."

"Here's the next group: SG Young-yi, PG Yaya Toom, SF Darius Miller, C Jimmy Hansen, PF James Allen."

Calipari blew the whistle in his mouth: "Hurry up and warm up, wait for a direct confrontation." Cheer up, I don't want the starters to go to the bench and get out of the team at the start of the season. ”

What Yang Yi hopes for most is this result, everything depends on strength to speak, and in the fat man's heart, Calipari's approach is undoubtedly a wise move. I have a system, who am I afraid of? The fat man thought a little smugly.

The warm-up is over, and the confrontation begins.

Davis undoubtedly jumped over Jimmy Hansen and got the offensive right off the tee.

Marquis Teague attacks with the ball and Yaya Toom steps forward to intercept. Teague passed the ball to Darren Lamb, and Young opened his arms to block Lamb's attack. Davis stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and Lamb broke through from the flank and threw the ball towards the basket before the others arrived, playing an aerial relay with Davis, who arrived next. Davis received the ball with both hands and dunked, and the whole person hung on the basket and let out a loud roar.

The first round was blown up, and Yang Yi's face was a little unsightly. Although he has no experience in the game, he knows a little bit about the 'junior point guard awareness' of the system. The gap between the two sides is a bit big!

Serving from the baseline, Toom dribbled the ball across half court and the fat man reached for the ball. Seeing the newly recognized boss asking for the ball, Toom passed the ball over as soon as possible. Yang Yi held the ball and singled, and when the others saw this, they pulled away and let the fat man eat Lamb alone.

Seeing that Lamb stepped forward to block, Yang Yi didn't say anything, holding the ball in his right hand and crushing it over Lamb like a bulldozer. Lamb, who weighs 80 kilograms, couldn't stop the fat man at all, and was squeezed by the fat man's autumn wind like falling leaves. Yang made a two-handed dunk before Davis could help defend, and the basket was torn and crumbling by his tremendous strength.

2:2, deuced, the two sides returned to the same running line.

Calipari nodded on the side, the fat man is simply a big killer on the offensive end of the perimeter, and his physical advantage alone is enough to wipe out the NCAA guards, and there are no two people who can't stop them at all.

Here Davis hit a shot, and Yang Yi came with a three-pointer; Here, Gilchrist hit a layup, and over there, Young hit the ground and assisted the empty cut of Toom to score. In this way, you go back and forth, although the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, but the score is rising alternately. After Yang Yi's three-pointer hit, Davis scored the ball with a low single hook hand, and the two sides were divided again, and the interim referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Looking at the panting players off the field, Calipari frowned. The ball came down at half-time, but the situation was very different from his guess. The gap between the two sides is obvious. The players on Yang's side, except for himself, couldn't keep up with Davis at all, and their defense was useless; Although Davis's side was aggressive on the offensive end, it couldn't stop Yang Yi from scoring consecutive points. The two sides played a high score of 40:40 in the half, which looked like a farce.

In the second half, Calipari asked Lamb and Yang Yi to switch teams, Lamb was a little unhappy, he sensed Calipari's intentions, and the fat man didn't care. However, after switching teams, Yang Yi quickly adapted to Davis's offensive rhythm, so Davis's offense blossomed everywhere, while Lamb did not find his form, and as a result, the fat team directly disintegrated Toom's fighting spirit with a wave of 15:2 attack waves. The result is: Toom and the others are very dissatisfied with Darren Lamb, although they are very passive when the fat man is there, they can still play on par with the Davis team, but they can't be replaced by Lamb, and they are directly taken away by a wave. Calipari also sees a huge gap between Yang Yi and Lamb. From the performance on the court, it can be seen that the fat man is the person who can make his teammates better, and Lamb is too mediocre, it seems that Lamb, who has a beautiful high school basketball career, is not as suitable for the team's lineup as Yang Yi. ,,

At the end of the game, Fat Man and Lamb were completely reversed in Coach Calipari's heart. In Calipari's heart before, Yang Yi was Darren Lamb's substitute, and then I am afraid that Lamb is Yang Yi's substitute! However, one game does not prove anything, and many of the fat man's movements in the game are very stiff, and the ability to finish the game on the offensive end needs to be improved. Calipari could see that the fat man had this ability, and he needed a lot of games to adjust his muscles to the game. Therefore, Yang Yi must have a more consistent performance to really replace Lamb's place in the team, and it is too early to say everything.

If you have strength, you will win respect, and this is true. Davis, who was still indifferent before the game, took the initiative to talk to the fat man to discuss the team's offense and defense.

The fat man's heart blossomed, he hadn't played a game before, he had such a play for the first time, if all the skills in the system were integrated, then he could single-handedly pick up a team, it was really picturesque, special, the picture was too beautiful to see! The fat man is YY in his heart.

In the subsequent team training, as long as there is a group confrontation, Fat Man and Darren Lamb will always appear on the opponent's team in the first half in the second half. Everyone understood Calipari's thoughts, and Yang Yi and Lamb competed fiercely because of this.

Thanks to the team's extensive practice, Yang Yi felt that his strength was improving rapidly. The consciousness that had been infused by the system was finally able to be used effectively, and the stiff running position that had been used before has also been greatly improved, so everything is really going well. The fat man thought of an old saying: Heaven and earth borrow together! This is what Lao Yang told him before.

……

In the past few days, Calipari has been explaining Princeton tactics to the players, and Yang was blinded when he heard it. He has been in the system for less than two months, and he has not specifically understood this before, so like most players, his eyes are hollow and he is out of the world.

The most frequently used tactic by NCAA teams is the Princeton System, the essence of which is: man-to-man, ball-moving, and coordination, emphasizing that the strong can take advantage of the weak, and the smart can take advantage of the strong. It's just that this theoretical knowledge is too tall for the fat man, this is the coach's job, and he only needs to accept the coach's command. And even if you didn't understand it at the time, you can basically figure it out when you return to the system's training ground at night.

Calipari spoke for a few days, but only Davis and Yang Yi barely understood in the team. This strengthened his determination to replace Lamb with Yang Yi.

The fat man doesn't know this unexpected joy, his understanding is that it costs special points (ordinary points have been spent, only special points are converted into ordinary points), the fat man's heart hurts! Special points are now his heart, with one less than one.

The fat man understands that Princeton's tactics rely on the system, but Davis doesn't have a system, and it all depends on his own understanding. So I still admire Davis.

In an atmosphere of understanding tactics and team run-in training, November 2011 is slowly approaching, and the NCAA regular season is approaching.
