Chapter 110: Join the Green Army

"Hey, brother, you're here!" Jiang Yang walked into the stadium through the doorman, and happened to see Pierce in front of him talking to two people there, a big black man with big eyes, a mustache on his chin, and studs on his ears, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a good person, and a pair of super long arms, almost above his knees, which was really scary.

And the other person, with no beard on his face, with a big bald head, about the same height as Jiang Yang, and his clothes are also very neat, he knows that his face is very good at a glance, and he is looking at Jiang Yang in the distance with a smile at this time, these two people, if Jiang Yang is not mistaken, it is the current Celtics' Super Triumvirate, Garnett, Ray Allen and yesterday's Pierce.

"Oh, here we are!" Jiang Yang just nodded slightly, but his eyes were a little fiery when he looked at the three of them.

"Haha, Kevin, don't look at me like this, Jiang, this person is something I only met yesterday, his level is good, but because his visa has expired, there is no way to play in other teams' teams for the time being, I think there are still vacancies in our team anyway, so let him try!" Looking at Garnett and Ray Allen's bewildered gazes, Pierce immediately explained.

"So, hello, my name is Kevin Garnett, you can call me Kevin, this is Ray!" After listening to Pierce's words, Garnett knew that it should not be a problem for Jiang Yang to join, with Pierce's recommendation, as long as his level is not very good, then Doug Rivers will give Jiang Yang a ten-day short contract.

"Jiang, let's go, I've finished talking to the coach today, I'll take you to the physical examination room now!" Seeing that Jiang Yang was stunned after shaking Kevin's hand, Pierce couldn't help laughing out loud, the current newcomer is less and less like a newcomer.

In addition to being very immature on the court, he is a well-known bastard off the field.

He really hadn't seen such a 'pure' person as Jiang Yang, so he specially recommended Jiang Yang to come over for trial.

"Oh, okay!" Jiang Yang nodded and walked with Liu Ya into the dressing room next to him.

In the Green Army assistant coach, yes, it is an assistant coach, not a physical trainer, from here you can see Pierce's face, under the leadership of the assistant coach, Jiang Yang finished the physical test data, looking at Jiang Yang's data, Pierce and the assistant coach are still quite satisfied, originally they thought that Jiang Yang's level can reach the level of NCAA rookies who did not participate in the rookie selection, but it is a little surprising, Jiang Yang's physical test data is very beautiful, although there is no way to compare with the people in the lottery area, But compared with the players in the second round, there is no problem, whether it is speed, strength, bench press or the like, although there is no way to compare with those demons in the league, as well as muscle-sticks, but compared with ordinary white players, it can already be said that it is passable, and you must know that Jiang Yang is not an official NBA player now, and it can be trained like this with a wild road outside, in the eyes of the assistant coach, it is indeed not easy, of course, Jiang Yang will not tell him that his training methods are all from the Bulls, The Lakers and Pistons have set it out, and the next thing is to see Jiang Yang's level.

came to the training ground, at this time on the training ground, there are a large number of players training there, these players, are the so-called marginal people of the team, that is to say, in the squad, but on the field may not be able to play.

That is, the idlers raised by the club, the so-called third-tier players, of course, there are also some second-tier substitutes who also train here, clear half of the court, and under the observation of the assistant coach, Jiang Yang began a trial in terms of skills.

Jiang Yang's skills can be said to be very comprehensive, although there are no obvious protruding points, but they look very bluffing.

The shooting percentage is unguarded, and the mid-range shooting can be maintained at 80%, although it is a little low, but it is good when the bench is good, and the three-point shot, unguarded, can also reach 75% (Peja's ability), which is very surprising, a three-point battery, no matter where it goes, is very popular, even if it is a player like Capono, who can hardly shoot in regular games, he will not worry about a contract in the NBA.

Next, the layup, footsteps, passes, and dribbles are all quite satisfying, and the last is to test the defense.

"Marquis, come here, train with him." With the assistant coach's words, a rather ugly ugly man walked over, looked at Jiang Yang and smiled, looking at this guy's face, Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"I've seen something ugly, I've never seen such an ugly ......" Jiang Yang looked at each other and said in his heart.

How ugly it is, to describe it to you, curly hair, that's a black man's Peugeot, there's nothing to say.

The face is like a dinosaur, not a dinosaur on the Internet, it is a real dinosaur, that pair of eyes, like a dead fish, and protruding outward, looking at such an image, Jiang Yang felt a little liver tremor before he hit.

Marquis Daniels, born in 1981, is as tall as Jiang Yang, 198 cm, almost 90 kilograms on one side, Jiang Yang's 93 kilograms are heavier than him, he was in the Pacers last year, and just transferred to the Celtics this year.

Last year in the Pacers, his performance was indeed good, played a total of 54 games, 43 starts, and contributed an average of 13.6 points per game, it can be said that the Pacers' outside firepower output point offensive ability is very strong, if it weren't for his frequent slip in the game, maybe his performance could be better, he always started to look for the camera when he played, and now let him try Jiang Yang, in order to see how Jiang Yang's own defense is, under the signal of the assistant coach, the two began to fight.

It's just Daniels attacking, and Jiang Yang defending, and when Daniels just received the ball, Jiang Yang pounced.

After the two developments, the arms that grew longer and longer, waved, and the defense was extremely hard.

As for Jiang Yang's defense, Daniels, a tenacious guy, didn't think much about it, since Jiang Yang pounced on the defense, then it would be good for him to break through, after all, he is a person who has a firm foothold in the NBA, in terms of physical fitness, he has definitely reached the A level, Jiang Yang's strength is not small, and the speed is not slow, but in front of the other party, it is still a little unsightly.

Fortunately, his energy was highly concentrated, and at the moment when the opponent broke through, he blocked the opponent with his hand, and then pressed his chest against the opponent, squeezing the opponent out all the time.

He hadn't thought about it at all at this time, going out and then using his speed to impact Jiang Yang.

Although Jiang Yang didn't touch the ball, he waved his arms vigorously and interfered with the other party, Jiang Yang's interference really had an effect, and his ball smashed directly on the edge of the basket and flew out.

"Come again!" A ball didn't go in, Daniels immediately took the ball and continued to attack, a tendon is a tendon.

And looking at the offense and defense of the two, the assistant coach next to him was very satisfied, Jiang Yang's small actions, as well as the positive surname of the defense, all made the Green Army need, although the whole league was scolding Bowen, but when Bowen said that he was going to transfer, there were still people who wanted him, this is the psychology of not eating grapes, saying that grapes are sour, if it weren't for Bowen's age, he wouldn't have retired this year, so for such a gum-based defensive player, the others can only be regarded as qualified, then there are teams that want him, this is all treasure, Willing to defend, these four words are easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

Bao diploma what, won the first team of defense for five years in a row, with his bottom corner three-pointer, don't be kidding...... Doug Rivers is a defensive type of coach, do you think his assistant coaches don't focus on defense?

Of course, the coach who tested Jiang Yang was not his first defensive assistant coach Hibodeau, but another assistant coach.

"The level is average, but the defense is good! There is a good chance to stay. Looking at Jiang Yang's mad dog-like defense, the assistant coach couldn't help laughing, watching the two get faster and faster on the court, and stopped the game in time.

"It's just a training match, it's all teammates, don't be serious, but Jiang Yang, your defensive awareness is very good!" Since Bowen retired, the whole league has been discussing who will be his successor, and now it seems that Jiang Yang is.

"You and your ...... Uh, translator, come with me to the manager's office, I think the head coach and the general manager have ready the contract for you. Looking at Jiang Yang, the assistant coach said with a smile, hearing the assistant coach's words, Jiang Yang couldn't help but wave his fist, he knew that with his own level, now that he is in the NBA, he is actually still a little worse.

But even if he can't enter the NBA directly, as long as he gets a ten-day short-term contract in the NBA, he can apply to join the players' guild, and then he can go to the labor guild and apply for a labor contract.

"Hey, I'll be teammates in the future, come on!" Watching Jiang Yang and the assistant coach walk out of the stadium, the Pierce trio, who were still talking outside, also stopped, and when they saw the appearance of the assistant coach, Pierce knew that it was done.

"Thank you so much!" Jiang Yang is not very good at talking, but he is sincerely grateful to Pierce.

"Haha, it's just a reward for you to help me win yesterday, go ahead, don't keep the head coach and general manager waiting too long." Pierce patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder, he just felt that this young Chinese man was very simple and very good.

When Jiang Yang and Liu Ya followed the assistant coach to the general manager's office, the Celtics' general manager, Danny Ainge, and head coach, Doug Rivers, were in the general manager's office, studying the new lineup for this season.

At present, Celtic have played a total of 11 games, with eight wins and three losses, and recently lost two in a row.

In addition to the six consecutive wins since the start of the season, their passion has been somewhat consumed, after losing to the Hawks at home on the 13th, and immediately losing to the Giants nemesis Pacers on the 14th, today is the 17th, and tomorrow the Celtics will play the Warriors at home, and they rested yesterday, otherwise Jiang Yang would not have been able to meet Pierce.

Seeing the assistant coach and walking in with Jiang Yang and Liu Ya, Doug Rivers and Danny Ainge both understood what this meant, Pierce told Doug Rivers in the morning, so Doug Rivers arranged this assistant coach.

As long as you think this guy is okay, then bring it up to negotiate the contract, if not, then you don't need to bring it up.

Now that he's brought it in, let's just sign the contract, Rivers has a lot of trust in his coaching staff.

"Child, I know some of your situation, since you have passed the training, I will give you a contract, I think the size of the contract has little to do with what you need, all you need is a contract, this is a ten-day short-term contract, worth ten thousand dollars, sign it, this is yours, as for the later contract, we will talk about it later." Danny Angie naturally couldn't trade at a loss, he just gave Jiang Yang a short-term contract of ten days.

However, the short-term contract is very important for Jiang Yang, because with it, he can apply for a visa.

"Thank you general manager, thank you head coach, I will work hard!" Jiang Yang knew that at this time, he would only be regarded as a fool if he said anything about helping the Celtics, and the current Celtics would not be able to help him.

After signing their names, Jiang Yang and Liu Ya left the court, and as soon as they left, Jiang Yang hugged Liu Ya and turned around three times.

"Great, this time I finally have a real identity!" Looking at Liu Yatong's red face, Jiang Yang shouted happily.

"Stupid, let me go!" Liu Ya, who felt that Jiang Yang was hugging her tighter and tighter, couldn't help frowning slightly and slapped Jiang Yang.

At this time, Jiang Yang realized that he was very happy, and immediately let go of Liu Ya, and then touched his head a little embarrassed, looking at Jiang Yang's naïve appearance, Liu Ya couldn't help laughing, this Jiang Yang is really a living treasure.

"Tonight, let's have a good celebration, if only tomorrow against the Warriors, you can also play, but it's unlikely, haha, let's go!" Holding Jiang Yang's arm, Liu Ya and Jiang Yang returned to the rented hotel.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Yang went to the Great History Museum of China to apply for a labor visa, although it was only a short-term contract of the NBA, but it was enough for a visa.

Of course, the visa is not so easy to get down, but at least now Jiang Yang has a temporary visa, and it will take about a month for the official visa to come down, even if Jiang Yang's job is lost this time, he can return to Yili to play the NBDL, but Jiang Yang, who is used to playing the NBA, is really willing to go back to play the NBDL? That's impossible.

That night, Jiang Yang and Liu Ya had a good meal, and then the two went to sleep, of course, each sleeping separately.

The next day, when Liu Ya got up, Jiang Yang was gone...... Because he's already gone to the stadium to train.

Doug Rivers, as one of the top coaches in the league now, (after all, he has a championship ring on his hand) so usually, he is also focused on the team, and the team has lost two in a row, which is not a small pressure for him.

The Celtics are not a bad team, and the position below his ass could be changed at any time.

So Doug Rivers had to work with the spirit of 120,000 points to think about how to salvage the defeat for the team.

Doug Rivers, who thought about it all night last night, has never come up with any good way, the current Green Army, what is lacking is vitality, and there happens to be no energetic players in the Green Army, young Rondo, usually like an old man, half-dead, the level of passing and controlling the rhythm is indeed good, but the ability to follow the wind is indeed quite good.

I thought about it all night and didn't think of a good way, I looked up, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, I couldn't think of a way, Doug Rivers, I got up and went to the stadium, he could imagine that if he waited until his wife got up and found that he hadn't slept all night, it must be another bit of nagging, now go to the stadium, think about it in a quiet place, maybe there will be a way.

But when he came to the arena, he found that the door of the stadium had been opened (Jiang Yang shouted to the doorman to open it), and the curious Doug Rivers walked over, and with the snapping sound of the basketball hitting the floor, Doug Rivers walked into the training hall.

But as soon as I opened the door, I found that the original sound of shooting basketball was gone...... And there was no one in the entire training ground, thinking of this, Doug Rivers's head couldn't help but shed a big drop of cold sweat, there can't be anything unclean.

Just as Doug Rivers was about to retreat, suddenly a dark shadow flashed...... "God! Doug Rivers suddenly shouted, which also startled the black shadow, and when the black shadow stopped, Doug Rivers found that it was the young Chinese kid who came to try out yesterday.

"Oh, coach, hehe, I'm sorry to disturb you, I want to go to the bathroom, hehe......" Jiang Yang smiled at Doug Rivers a little embarrassed, and then ran to the bathroom of the arena.

"This kid...... It's only a few o'clock, looking at his sweat, it doesn't look like he just came, hehe...... It's so much fun! Doug Rivers looked at Jiang Yang's back and couldn't help laughing, people are different, some people are talented, some people are not talented, just like Jiang Yang, Doug Rivers can't see what talent Jiang Yang has.

But now he likes Jiang Yang a little, the most important thing for a player is not his natural ability, but a heart that is willing to endure hardships.

"Why don't you let him try it today?" Looking at Jiang Yang in the distance, Doug Rivers touched his chin and said slowly.
