Before that, there is more than half a month of preseason, the preseason is for the team's newcomers to hone the lineup, the head coach to try new playing styles and rotations, and it is also the best opportunity for many marginalized people to try to perform in order to gain capital to survive in the NBA.

After the team's training camp, Yang Di's great improvement in the summer was shown.

Although the offense is still a mess, the defense has shown great potential and traits.

The offensive overall rating is 57, the overall rating is C-, the overall defensive rating is 77, the NBA rating is B, the rebounding overall rating is 79, the NBA rating is B, the overall overall rating is 71, and the NBA rating is C+, of which the power value and bounce value are the most improved, one reaches 82, breaks through the 80 mark, and the other reaches 77, which seems to have infinite possibilities.

Van Gundy had to admit that Yang Di was a quick learner.

Unlike Haslem's diligence, Yang Di is more agile on the court, with excellent lateral movement and judgment allowing him to sometimes deliver unexpected blocks.

"I have a strong sense of positioning, and I am very active in rushing for rebounds in the front court." Assistant coach Walker said with a smile.

"Whew~" "Drink!" ”

On the training ground, the players' shoes rubbed against the floor, and from time to time, a player made a wonderful breakthrough or played a delicate combination.

"Good shot!"

Yang Di applauded, and the half-time offensive drill gradually became tacit with Haslem, Alston and others.

NBA training, even if it is a simple daily training, is full of confrontation and strategy.

"Bang!"

Odom leaned on Yang Di with his back, turned around with his back on the dribble, and then made a fake motion to shoot a false shot.

Yang Di was not squeezed out, but the moment he slipped the bottom line, he jumped up, and when he was in the air, he saw Odom's teasing eyes, and suddenly knew that he was shaken.

Then Odom took advantage of Yang Di's fall, leaned back lightly, widened the gap with Yang Di's position, raised his arms high, pressed his wrists down, and gently plucked the basketball with his fingers.

The basketball slashed across the area that Yang Di couldn't cover, fell into the basket with precision, and rolled up the white net.

", it's your way again."

"I'll get used to it after a few more exercises, pay attention to my feints."

"But I really can't tell if your first shot is a feint or a real shot, if you don't jump, it feels like you're playing easier." Yang Di touched his head in distress.

The corners of Odom's mouth curled slightly, "Just practice slowly." ”

……

Around mid-October, the pre-season season officially begins.

The Heat's first preseason game was at home, with the Indiana Pacers coming to Miami for an away game, with seven or eight games to go in the same period.

For the NBA, has been committed to promoting the NBA to the world, the preseason is undoubtedly an opportunity to expand its influence, so in order to cater to the taste of international fans and expand overseas markets, the NBA has sent a number of teams to play overseas, Spain, France, RB and other countries, and later received the impact of the "9/11" incident, and in recent years canceled overseas games.

But rumor has it that officials are already considering reopening the international series preseason next year, and the first place to host it may be China.

Yao Ming brought a huge impact, a huge market waiting to be developed, slowly opening its doors to the NBA, leaving countless people salivating.

Before the game, Tyrone and Samagene failed to make the squad due to injuries, and John Wallace was PK by Jandy, Haslem and others, and was excluded from the 12-man squad by Van Gundy.

The Pacers fired head coach Isaiah Thomas in the offseason, and the new head coach Rick Carlisle is only 44 years old, but he previously served as the head coach of the Pistons for two seasons.

In the locker room, Yang Di stroked the "8" jersey issued to him by the team, and the "8" was the pinyin "YANG" of his surname.

"Gone, Yang, they're all out." Wade beckoned Yang Di to come along, excitement written on his face, and pushed open the locker room door.

"Let's go." Yang Di hurriedly put his clothes on his body, and the training clothes outside covered the jersey, and walked out after him.

The two of them came to the court, and the players of the Heat and Pacers were warming up, and at this time, there were a lot of fans sitting in the arena, because it was only the preseason, and it was not the beginning of the new season, so there were many fans who would not come to watch the game, and those who came to watch the game were those who were more free from work or simply die-hard fans of the Heat.

Yang Di also took the ball and threw it for a while, moving his muscles and bones, and there were staff members on the side who picked up the ball.

When the time came, the referee entered the field, walked to the technical table to check the watch, and then whistled to signal the players on both sides to finish the warm-up training.

The lights dimmed, and the DJ's passionate voice rang out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ~Beauty~~ Arena!"

In front of the players' seats, Van Gundy, who had already announced the starting lineup, signaled the players to get ready, while Yang Di and other substitutes stood in two rows.

The starters were Wade, Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, Odom and Grant.

"Let's welcome, from Marquette University, six feet three inches tall, the No. 5 show we picked this year - Devon ~ Wade!"

The DJ introduced them one by one.

Yang Di's eyes showed a color of envy, this is the glory of the NBA starter, although the cheers of the audience at this time are sparse, but he can imagine what a tsunami-like sound it should be once it is the regular season!

This is probably the so-called charm of the NBA!

……

The floor is clean and reflects the light, and the arena is bright and empty.

The Pacers' starters are C Jeff Foster, PF Jermaine O'Neal, SF Al Harrington, SG Ron Artest, PG Jamal Tinsley. Reggie Miller is on the inactive list.

The referee walked to the center circle with the basketball, the ten players who started stood in their respective positions, and multiple cameras on the scene were set up, and the staff were all ready.

After the referee blew the whistle, he threw the basketball in his hand.

Jermaine O'Neal and Brian Grant on the ground in the center circle jumped to scrum, but from Youngdy's point of view, O'Neal seemed a little unresponsive?

Grant took the lead in the basketball, and Odom snapped the ball and passed it to Wade behind him.

"Dwyanne playing point guard?" Yang Di himself feels that it doesn't seem to be suitable, Wade's scoring is very strong, and the desire to score is relatively high, and it may be difficult to play point guard to play his full power.

"They went to a nightclub last night, and they looked weak."

Alston was amazed to see Grant jump ball win.

Yang Di nodded, quite agreeing, "It's really possible, I can beat Grant in jumping, Ma Dan, this Jermaine O'Neal is not an All-Star level player!" ”

"This guy is a rich guy who just signed a seven-year, $123 million contract this summer."

"So much money!" Yang Di smacked his tongue secretly, and he was envious in his heart.

On the court, the Heat started the first wave of offense, Wade passed to Eddie Jones at the top of the arc at 45 degrees on the right side, Eddie Jones and Odom played a blocking and dismantling attack, dribbling to the top of the arc, and Wade and Caron Butler crossed the run after Butler also ran to the top of the arc, Eddie Jones and Butler passed the ball to cover, Butler dribbled and broke through, and took a step inside the three-point line with the help of Odom, who happened to block at this time.

This wave of blocking and dismantling is of extremely high quality, Butler directly kills it through the cover, and at the same time Odom also goes down, defenders Harrington and O'Neal Jr. are out of position, Butler hits the ground and passes to Odom, Odom dribbles and throws with one hand with his left hand, O'Neal Jr. comes back at this time to interfere with half a beat slower, and the basketball falls into the net.

2-0, the audience burst into applause.

"Good shot!" Van Gundy clapped and smiled with satisfaction, this wave of attack was the one he wanted to see, and it looked like the results of the previous training camp had come out.

The Pacers attacked, playing relatively simple, O'Neal Jr. forced Odom with his back and missed the hook.

The rebound was grabbed by Odom, who turned nimbly, and Odom dribbled directly and quickly, and Wade, Eddie Jones and Caron Butler rushed forward like a trident.

Odom's hand flicked, and the basketball passed over everyone's heads, turning out to be a long-distance pass.

"You dare to pass on this!" Artest shouted angrily, which was too much to take him, a steal master who averaged 2.3 times per game, into account, he stared at the basketball, jumped up, and was about to snatch the basketball.

Suddenly, a red figure jumped out from the side, like a red lightning bolt, and snatched the basketball away.

"What!"

Artest turned his head, only to see the red No. 3 jersey fluttering in the wind, and none of the Pacers players could catch up!
