In the United States, the freshman and sophomore years are all basic courses, and they are not required to be able to take them in one year, not to mention that Yang Long does not plan to stay at Duke for four years, so there is relatively not much academic pressure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he is only for basketball in this life, and 18 years of waiting is long enough.

Now Yang Long is a substitute, a varsity substitute.

So every day Yang Long trains himself with higher requirements and tortures himself. Train, train, and train every day as Coach K said, just to make sure that when the opportunity comes, it can be firmly grasped.

At 7 a.m., Yang Long would get up and go for a morning jog and jog around the campus, which lasted for half an hour. In the afternoon, if the team has a training plan, he will be the first to arrive and the last to leave. In the evenings, Yang Long sweats in the school's gym.

Keep tormenting, keep the pain, and of course keep progressing.

Coach K believes that to be a great basketball team, there are five qualities that must be possessed:

1. Actively communicate. Coach K will have nothing to say during the coaching process, and he also hopes that the players will put forward their opinions and ideas to the coaching staff, and of course, the players should also have the courage to point out the shortcomings and make progress together.

Two: Trust. Basketball is a team sport, and the five people on the court must trust each other and trust their teammates to do their own thing. Only by trusting each other can five people exert their strength beyond five people.

Three: take responsibility. On the basketball court, it's a team of five. No matter who is part of the team, as long as one person makes a mistake, it must be the team's mistake. Everyone has the courage to take responsibility for themselves.

Four: take care of each other. If a player on the court is eliminated by his own defender, if a player doesn't grab a rebound that belongs to his defensive area, what does the rest of the people do? Take care of each other, the stronger the team.

Five: a sense of honor. What did you come to Duke for? What is basketball for? For victory. On the basketball court, a player with a sense of honor will go all out to win.

Coach K compares these five rules to five fingers on the palm of a hand, if one finger is hit alone, it will not be powerful, but when you clench five fingers into a fist, you will be invincible.

"Coming to Duke, you have to show your loyalty and belief in the team. I know that coming to Duke is not your ultimate goal, you are here to pursue higher things, to expect greater things. ”

These days, Coach K is instilling his coaching philosophy, basketball philosophy, in training with his players. Yang Long frantically absorbed, which is what he lacks most in his current basketball path.

"Well, after these days of training, I'm sure everyone wants to know what their training looks like. So this afternoon we're going to have an intra-squad match to test your training and also to rehearse my tactical set-up. Still according to the grouping last time, guys, get ready, and we'll get started. ”

The crazy training these days has given Yang Long confidence, and he can't wait to start this matchup, and he can't wait to prove himself.

But will I be able to prove myself? Yang Long asked himself.

Before the start of the game, Williams gathered the blue team players.

"We've beaten the white team once, and we've beaten them a second time. Guys, 1, 2, 3, fight! Standing in the circle surrounded by Yang Long and a few other players, Williams raised his right hand, and a few words were very short, but instantly ignited the passion of the team.

I have to say that this is the role of a team leader. Yang Long also felt that he was full of fighting spirit, come on, white team!

Casey and Boozer jumped the ball, although Casey was better than Boozer in terms of physical fitness, but this time his reaction to the jump ball was full of half a beat, Dujon stuck Yang Long to get the ball, and the white team took the lead in attacking.

Yang Long remained focused, his eyes locked on Du Hong's every move, and his nerves keenly controlled his body movements.

"Cover!" Dujon arcs over the ball and waves his left hand to signal Boozer to do an offensive block for him.

Yang Long was distracted and observed Boozer's movements with the afterglow of his perspective, in case he was caught off guard by Du Hong.

Du Hong made a disguise on the left side, Yang Long stretched forward with his right leg to squeeze through Boozer's defense, and followed closely, Rao was so, Du Hong was still half a defensive position ahead of him. Fortunately, Casey came over in front of him, which made Yang Long's pressure drop sharply.

Seeing that Yang Long and Casey were about to close the door, Du Hong was about to become the turtle in the urn of Yang Long and Casey, Du Hong hit the ground and passed, and the ball came to Boozer. Boozer was in the left corner of the free-throw line and he was ready to shoot.

Seeing this, Yang Long turned right and rushed towards Boozer, trying to block it!

Although Boozer has a half-volley crosshair, he is not too fast as an interior player. If he chooses to continue shooting, Yang Long can easily block his shooting vision.

Boozer saw Yang Long rushing quickly, and did not hesitate, flicked his wrist, and tried to hand the ball to Andy who was pocketing on the right side.

Swish! I saw a blue light come out, the basketball deviated from Boozer's passing route, went straight to the frontcourt, and Williams completed the steal!

Yang Long did not hesitate to run towards the frontcourt, the white team's defenders only had Du Hong and Boozer in the high position, but Boozer could not catch up with Williams' speed, that is to say, only Du Hong was running desperately.

Opportunity! Yang Long and Williams were on the left and right flanks, forming a two-man fast attack with two arrows. At this time, Du Hong met the enemy left and right, and he lacked skills!

The ball has advanced to the free throw line and Dujon must make defensive choices!

Dujon still chose to go straight to Williams, and he judged that Williams would choose to make a layup himself, and at this time the defense still had a chance to stop the attack.

Dujon stood in front of Williams, and if Williams didn't pull back from the precipice, he might be in danger of hitting people with the ball!

Seeing this form, Yang Long slashed diagonally from the right side of the basket, Williams understood, and made a left-handed back-to-back pass, and the ball came to Yang Long's hand.

At this time, Yang Long has come to the bottom of the basket, which is a reasonable collision zone in the NBA. He intuitively felt that the strength of his legs was unlimited, and after exerting his strength, he jumped straight up, slammed the dunk with both hands, and completed the fast attack of the double dragon play beads!

"Good shot!" Williams excitedly high-fived Yang Long and applauded their wonderful cooperation.

Hiss!

After high-fives with Williams, Yang Long only felt a cramping pain in his right shoulder! He shook his arm, trying to shake off the pain, but it didn't lessen in the slightest.

Dujon advanced with the ball, he and the scoring guard Andy did a blocking and dismantling cooperation between the guards, after the change of defense, Williams against Duhon, in the face of Williams, it can be said that Dujon was at an absolute disadvantage, and he handed the ball to Yang Long's opponent Andy.

Yang lowered his center of gravity and tried to spread his arms to block Andy's attack, but the pain in his right shoulder caused him to move a little.

As a shooting guard, you have an instinct to score. Andy shook directly to the left and pulled out his hand!

Yang Long tried to stretch out his right hand to seal it, but his right shoulder felt a tearing pain again.

Andy still made a shot, but Yang Long's block worked, this time the shot bounced back inside the rim, and Casey took the defensive rebound.

Casey handed the ball to Yang Long, and he dribbled with his left hand, but felt that the pain in his right shoulder had reached a point where it would seriously affect the game.

"Beep!" The assistant coach's whistle blew, and Coach K replaced Yang Long off the field.

"Yang, what's wrong with you?" Old Coach K no longer watched the game on the field and looked at Yang Long with concern.

"I feel a bit of a strain in my right shoulder." After the last match, Yang Long was preparing for this match, in order to prove his training results, in order to prove his ability, but the sudden injury made him depressed.

"Booker, you take him to the hospital, I'll be enough." Coach K's face was also a little solemn, and he didn't want to see any of the players in the team make a mistake.

"Follow me!" Booker is the team's physical trainer with a burly body.
