Chapter 25: Fierce Fight 02 List Eyes (1)
All morning, Yang Long was in the excitement of joining the school team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 But when the time came to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the moment Yang Long put on his equipment and was about to go out, the anxiety in his heart was slowly amplified. Was it smooth sailing for him? Yang Long shook his head, this is a situation that will never happen.
At 2:30 p.m., Yang Long came to the vicinity of the indoor basketball hall early, but he didn't go in immediately. In fact, Yang Long hopes to go to the training ground early, even if it is a few baskets and a few dribbles, it is a good thing, and he has always had the habit of going to appointments in advance. But Yang Long hesitated that day, he didn't know if my teammates had come to the stadium in advance. If they arrive at the court early and Coach K is not there, Yang Long doesn't know what kind of attitude he should face his teammates. Just thinking about it, Yang Long felt embarrassed. Wandering around the basketball hall until 2:55, there were only 5 minutes left before 3 o'clock, and Yang Long walked into the stadium nervously.
Yang Long saw that there were already people on the court who had begun to do warm-up training, including several familiar faces to him, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy, Chris Duhon, these are all people who broke out in the NBA league later, and Jay Williams, who lost to Da Yao in the draft and was won by the Bulls with an eye show, are all ruthless characters that are not easy to mess with. There is also Nate James, who met on the day of the bullfight with Battier, but after finishing last season, he has graduated from Duke, and since he has not been drafted by any NBA team, he continues to stay with Duke as an assistant coach at this time.
Obviously, those guys saw Yang Long, but no one greeted him, and Yang Long didn't know if it was because they didn't know him. But there is another possibility, that is, Knight has already mentioned himself to them, and then Yang Long is isolated.
"Hi Yang, you're here! You were on time and not late, but you were the last to come. It was Coach K who took the lead in greeting Yang Long.
"Sorry, Coach K, I'll be there early next time." Although Yang Long came here half an hour early, but the fact is that he only came to the stadium in the last few minutes, of course Yang Long couldn't tell Coach K, in fact, I came a long time ago, just a few laps outside the stadium, he knew that no one cared about this.
"No, just be on time." Coach K still had a serious expression on his face, Yang Long didn't know if what he said was true, but as a complete newcomer, Yang Long definitely couldn't demand himself according to this standard. Coach K walked up to Yang Long's side, and then shouted to the people warming up on the basketball court, "Hey, guys, come over and say hello." ”
Coach K's words were quite appealing, and the players stopped the warm-up one after another, and then surrounded Yang Long and Coach K in the middle. Yang Long saw Knight's disdainful eyes and could see that this guy was still haunted by what happened last time, but Yang Long thought that he had not done too much.
"Hello, I'm a new player to the team. My name is Yang Long, I am from China, please give me more advice in the future. Yang Long saw that everyone didn't seem to mean to greet him, so he had to speak fluent English first.
"Hello." They only responded perfunctorily, and it was clear that none of them were treating Yang Long as their future teammate right now.
"Alright, guys. Yang is a fantastic player and I hope you all have a good time in the future. Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Coach K, who made the decision to let Yang Long join the team, had to speak.
"With all due respect, Coach K, we don't think this guy is up to the task of our teammates." Jay Williams spoke, and it's no surprise that after Battier's departure, he was the boss of the Duke team this year.
"Jay, I think you all already know about Battier and Yang." Coach K seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen when he handed Williams an A4 piece of paper, "This is Young's test data, his physicality and basketball skills show that he is up to the role of your teammate." ”
"I have to say, it's nice to just look at the numbers. But you can't just rely on these few stats to play basketball, you can't expect a football player to play basketball well, and their test data is more than that. Williams was more or less surprised after reading Yang Long's test data, but as he said, they couldn't easily accept Yang Long because of this piece of paper, so he faced Yang Long and said: "Hey, no-name boy, where did you play before, and how many points can you score in each game?" ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm not nameless, my name is Yang Long. I hadn't played in the league before. "As always, Yang Long is still despised enough. It seems that this contempt will stay with him for a long time to come.
“OK! Man, did I hear me wrong, you're not kidding me, are you? You haven't played in a league, so why join us, and how do we know if you're Mr. Duck Egg? 0 points, 0 boards, 0 assists per game? Hahaha. Williams laughed arrogantly, "Besides, let me tell you, I don't care what your name is, Yang, Ying, with whatever, I just know you can't stay here." ”
Hearing these words, Yang Long was furious in his heart, but what he said was the truth, Yang Long had not proven himself in the high school league. But he shouldn't have completely denied Yang Long without knowing anything about Yang Long, for basketball, Yang Long has paid more than ten years of training and preparation, and even once died for it, Yang Long does not allow him to despise himself so much! At this time, there is no point in arguing with Williams, it will only make the other players more unconvinced. Yang Long looked at Coach K pleadingly, hoping that he could help him. But at this time, Coach K was chatting with Knight about some training topics, and it was impossible for him not to know the current situation, but he chose to sit idly by. Coach K did it on purpose, he wanted to see if Yang Long was firm enough, confident enough, and capable enough to stay on this team on his own.
'I'm definitely going to stay with the team because I have the quality.' At this time, Yang Long absolutely did not allow himself to be weak.
"Oh, oh, boy, you know what you're talking about, don't you?" Williams seemed to be a little angry, and Yang Long's tough attitude made him a little unhappy.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about, and I'll prove it to you later, and prove it to all of you!" Yang Long felt that he deserved his upset, because he didn't consider his feelings in every word he said.
"Are you serious?" Williams made an exaggerated look of disbelief on his face, "I don't think it's going to be in the future, I'll let you know the gap today, Duke's team is not something that a cat or a dog can just enter." ”
"Heads-up! Singled out! "Boozer, Dunleavy and the others all started to heckle on the sidelines, and they wished that Yang Long and Williams would have a real fight, so that they would have a good show.
The old K coach on the side didn't stop it, just clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at us with interest.
"Boy, do you hear that? They want you to go head-to-head with me. I heard you won Sean, but I'm not the guy, I'm going to kick your ass hard! It seems that Williams knows about Yang Long and Battier's bullfight, but Yang Long doesn't know why he still despises himself so much after knowing about it, doesn't he know that he can't despise any opponent on the basketball court? Or is he extremely confident in his own strength?
"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate!" At this time, Yang Long can't back down, for himself, for basketball, for China, he can't back down.
The old rule is that they use free throws to decide the ball on the first pitch. Williams gave up the right to take the lead to Yang Long, because if he didn't let a little, he would inevitably fall into a quarrel with bullying newcomers.
Yang Long took the basketball to his hand and slapped it a few times, trying to warm up his hands. The ball was shot, but unfortunately his free throw came out of the basket. Williams hit the free throw basket with ease, which is not difficult for a defender at all.
"Get him down!"
"Give him some color!"
……
The players on the sidelines began to build momentum for Williams, and they were all excited.
Heads-up begins!
First goal
"I'm not Sean." Williams holds the ball in both hands at the top of the arc.
"I know."
"You know Duke is my team, right? I said YES, OK, you can stay longer. I said NO, sorry, I think you can go back to your college classes. Williams grinned, seeming to revel in what it was like to be the boss of a team, "So, you'd better win this heads-up!" ”
After saying that, Williams had already moved, he just held the ball in both hands, his feet did not move, a shake of his left and right knees, and then he held the ball in his right hand and advanced!
Although Williams is only 188 cm tall, he weighs more than 89 kilograms, which is about 9 kilograms heavier than Yang Long!
Yang Long made a sliding step to the left, blocking his advancing path. However, Yang Long underestimated Williams' ability to fight, and in the process of advancing, Williams hit his right shoulder hard, and Yang Long staggered back when he was caught off guard.
Yang's retreat also gave Williams a breakout route.
Turning around, Yang Long saw Williams jumping with his feet after stepping twice,
"Bang!" With a bang, the ball was violently dunked into the basket by Williams with both hands.
"Oh!" Williams, who fell to the ground, let out an arrogant shout.
"Well done!" Yang Long saw Knight shouting excitedly on the side, and he looked very proud when he saw Williams score.
Williams is suspected of a foul on this shoulder, but in the bullring, who cares about such a move?
0:1。
