Jenny sat in the defenders' office, reaching out and rubbing her forehead.

Participating in the Drew League is far more difficult than she imagined, the NBDL is a subordinate league of the NBA, the players in it are uneven, many people are not so "clean", and in his team, there are only a handful of five people who can be found to participate in the league, just enough to get on the court.

And Tang Shuai, her key recruitment target this time, has never replied to her, most likely because she is going to be yellow.

She shook her head helplessly, and was about to call the others to tell them that she was ready to give up.

"Jingle Bell~"

Just then, her landline rang.

She looked up at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number, and she answered it with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Alison, I'm Jaime, and Don has decided to accept your invitation."

As soon as the phone was answered, Duffy's voice came from the other end.

When she heard what Duffy said, a burst of light burst out of her eyes, and she suddenly stood up from her seat, and the huge twin peaks rolled up a wave, and she said excitedly: "Okay, I'll inform the rest of the team right away." ”

After hanging up the phone after communicating with Duffy, Jenny couldn't help but be excited, she didn't call the other team members, but immediately turned on the computer and updated the news on the official website of the defenders.

When the message was sent, she stared straight at the computer.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

……

After a while, the computer suddenly beepled non-stop, and piles of new emails had already popped up in the official mailbox of the defenders.

After he opened it, in just one minute, the team had received ten applications to join the team.

"That's what it is...... The influence of the stars! Jenny looked at the new emails that were still increasing, and said with emotion.

The Spears, because the Defenders are a subordinate team of the NBA, it is naturally impossible to participate in the Drew League under this team name, but when Tang Shuai saw the name of this team, he couldn't help but scratch his head, the level of Jenny's team name is too arbitrary, right?

"Don, did you really decide that you were going to play in the first game?" When he walked into the Drew Arena, Duffy couldn't help but ask Tang Shuai, as an agent, he really didn't understand the reason why Tang Shuai did this, ordinary stars participate in this kind of amateur league, one game is enough, Tang Shuai is good now, ready to play all the games directly.

"Jaime, I've decided, I don't need to ask this question anymore, you can rest assured, I will protect myself from injury." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

Duffy took one last look at Tang Shuai, and could only shake his head helplessly.

Entering the team's locker room, it was a little damp, and the dilapidated iron cabinet looked very shabby, but as soon as Tang Shuai appeared, it caused a burst of cheers from the players inside.

"Tang Shuai! Tang Shuai! ”

The players shouted loudly to Tang Shuai like cheering heroes.

Tang Shuai looked at the team members in front of him, and suddenly felt indescribably strange.

This is really an amateur game, there are middle-aged strong men with big bellies in the team, and small guards who are so thin that they may fall down in the wind, and there are a few young people in hardcover, but their faces are immature, but these people are full of excitement on their faces, and it can be seen that they are very proud to be able to participate in such a competition, especially at the moment when they see Tang Shuai.

After receiving nearly two minutes of cheers from the players, Tang Shuai officially joined the spear team.

Seeing this scene, Duffy couldn't help but shake his head, and after greeting Tang Shuai, he left the Drew Arena first.

"Don, the strength of these players is good, although it is not up to the level of the professional league, but I believe you will like it." Jenny walked over and said with a smile.

Tang Shuai nodded knowingly.

The Lances' opponent tonight is called the Pretender II, and to talk about this team, there is some history of this team, and in 14 years of competition, this is the team James has joined.

Of course, the team is still the same players, but the members are completely changed, but for Tang Shuai he is not lonely, because the second team of the Pretenders, there is an old rival, James Harden, and this is his third appearance in the Drew League.

Indeed, and the meaning of the legend, there are no fixed stands on both sides of the Drew Arena, only two iron shelves, and even the entire arena can accommodate only three or four hundred people, but this does not affect the atmosphere of basketball in the slightest.

The small arena has long been occupied by fans, crowded with people, and the basketball atmosphere on the scene is bursting.

When Tang Shuai and Harden appeared on the court, the fans at the scene let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers and whistles.

However, it is rare that although the fans at the scene are enthusiastic, they are not out of control, there is no security, but no matter how excited the fans are, they will not rush to the court.

Tang Shuai and Harden said hello before the game, and after the two shook hands and hugged, they each returned to the court.

The match between the two sides soon began in earnest.

Harden came out with the familiar back-to-back step-back jumper, and hit the first shot with ease.

Tang Shuai returned with a Maddy pull-up jumper and responded with a steady hit.

Over there, Harden came over and hit another step-back three-point shot.

Tang Shuai turned around and hit a pull-up jumper again.

As soon as the game began, it turned into a good scene for two people, and the cheers of the fans at the scene continued one after another.

Teammates on both sides are working hard to defend, for them, it is already an incomparable honor to be able to compete with stars like Tang Shuai and Harden, and who cares if they have a shot or not.

Harden throws, layups, back-to-back steps, and constantly changes his offensive style, but Tang Shuai seems to have forgotten his offensive opportunity all of a sudden, no matter how Harden plays, he is a move, dry jump shot.

It's like, whatever you want, I'm always going to do it.

Fortunately, both men have high shooting percentages, and there are not too many fans who pay attention to the problem of offensive methods.

As the game progressed, the two were not completely obsessed with going it alone, but began to share the ball with their teammates, although the offensive success rate of their teammates was far from comparable to theirs, but the fighting spirit that always appeared on their faces still made the fans undiminished.

The strength of these people is far from being comparable to the NBA, and even most of them are not up to the level of the NBDL, but on the street court, it is estimated that it is also a first-class good feeling, flexible dead fat man, bankrupt version of Iverson, small hook hand inside, and the fight is also quite exciting.

When the game entered the final quarter, it naturally became a soaring score between Tang Shuai and Harden, and unlike before, the two were directly opposed.

Harden's throw-up added points for the Pretender II to put them in a narrow 68-65 lead after those two points.

Looking back, Tang Shuai shook for a while, and after gaining enough space to attack, he followed with a dry pull-out jumper.

The familiar scissor legs, the standard shooting posture, in the face of Harden's defense, Tang Shuai once again responded in a dry way.

It was his 15th pull-up jumper of the game.

Watching Tang Shuai's jump into the net, Harden was a little stunned, he used all kinds of offensive methods, but Tang Shuai seemed to only respond with jump shots, feeling like a paranoid.

However, Tang Shuai is certainly not paranoid, as he thought when he made the decision to participate in the Drew League, he is here to train skills, and among the weakened skill packs he has, Maddie's dry pull bag is obviously the best choice as the first skill pack he has packed.

Harden also made a step-back jumper in the face of Donshuai, and he seemed to want to respond in the same way.

But just as he was making a move, he suddenly found that Tang Shuai's hand was quickly covered in front of his eyes, and he felt that the basket had completely disappeared from his eyes, so he could only shoot according to his feel.

"Huh!"

His jump shot was still a solid hit, which drew a round of enthusiastic cheers from the fans at the scene.

Tang Shuai smiled and shook his head, although it has been upgraded from a weakened version of the blue defensive package to a purple normal version, but the presidential defensive package is not a top-level defensive package after all, and it is still difficult to completely limit Harden.

However, Harden couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at this time, the ball was almost defended just now, and Tang Shuai's defense seemed to have improved a lot compared to when they met in the playoffs.

The Spears' offense, the skinny guard handed the ball to Tang Shuai, and after Tang Shuai shook off Harden in a big stride, he once again chose a dry pull-up jumper.

This time he was not very lucky, the shot jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was caught by the Spears' nimble fat center, and the hand was given to him again.

He followed up with another pull-up jumper.

This time, the response to the "swoo" was caught.

"Hey, man, why are you only jumping shots in this game?" Harden shook his head and couldn't help but smile and asked, it doesn't matter if the Drew League wins or loses, so although it was one-on-one, both of them were just trying their best to enjoy the game.

"I'm working on my shooting consistency." Tang Shuai said bluntly.

Harden scratched his head, thinking that it seemed right, and didn't continue to ask.

After four quarters of competition, the second team of the pretenders finally won the game 82-80, and Tang Shuai had a chance to hit a key jumper in the final moments of the game, but his luck didn't seem to be good, and the shot popped out of the frame.

Harden was eye-catching, scoring 36 points on 16-of-22 shooting.

Tang Shuai's performance was not inferior, he shot 14 of 26 in the game, and also scored 30 points, but compared to his score, it is worth mentioning his offensive style, he made 26 shots in the game, only 2 were layups, and the remaining 24 shots were all mid-range dry pull-up jumpers, and even if there was a chance at the three-point line, he would dribble one step inside and shoot again.

"Coming back from the Olympics, Don became a jumper paranoid."

"Don and Harden faced each other and responded to Harden's rich offensive arsenal with 24 jumpers."

……

This is after the Drew League game, some local media in Los Angeles reported on the game, Tang Shuai = jump shot, this formula seems to rush into the eyes of fans so unsuspectingly after a game. (To be continued.) )
