Thomas: "Small role! Hehe, I don't think you should say this, since you can deny yourself, then you really failed. When a person denies himself and positions himself as a small character. He is doomed to be a failure on any path, no matter what you do, you have to admit yourself, we have no identity gap, small roles are things that do not exist. ”

These words made Yu Yang's face red, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Thomas patted him on the arm and said, "Actually, I saw you in the street race that day, and honestly, you did a good job, and I like your explosiveness." I don't think you're a player like you in the country, at least you're the first one I've ever seen and make dunks commonplace. ”

Yu Yang still lowered his head and didn't speak, Thomas continued: "There is only one purpose for coming to you this time, I know that you have entered the NBA, you should know better than me, it is a big stage." For a basketball player, the NBA is their paradise, and since they can go to play in it, they are facing strong opponents. I don't know if you've ever heard of a saying that you can only practice some skills in front of a strong opponent.

So, now that you're in that big family, you cherish this opportunity even more. As for your current status, I also have a rough look, bench, cold bench. You are a newbie, plus you are a foreigner, you will definitely be discriminated against. Because the NBA is a reality, in your old Chinese saying: natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Only when you have a place in the NBA can you show your worth. There is no myth of undefeated there, because every player is getting stronger, there is only the stronger, there is no strongest. The reason why you're able to get in there and be a cold bench is because you're not strong enough. So you have to be stronger. (Yu Yang nodded thoughtfully)

I'll teach you some basic player stuff that might be useful to you. In my eyes, the cold bench is not just a cold bench, sitting on the field is more about appreciating the game than about observing and understanding the game thoroughly. When you're sitting on the sidelines, it's okay to look at your opponent's strength and look for their weaknesses. Didn't you China say: know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles? ?

Therefore, for a bench, in addition to watching the game, it is more important to observe the opponent and his teammates. Look for the shortcomings and strengths, and when you fully understand their style of play, I think it will be a lot easier to fight. When you get a chance to play, you have a lot of advantages because you have the strength of your teammates and you have the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents, and it's unlikely that you don't want to play well at that point.

That's what I'm telling you. That's the main purpose of today. I have to say that the smoke is really good. Thomas smiled, and he relaxed as he pulled out a cigarette and smoked it. Yu Yang felt very useful when he heard Thomas's words, he really had to sit on the cold bench for a long time, and for Thomas's words, it was undoubtedly a very good suggestion to observe the opponent. Sure enough, he is the chairman of the association, no wonder I feel different at first sight when I see him.

Yu Yang said again: "Thomas, do you think I have a chance to play my own value?" It's like playing a street race, and you burst out with all your strength. ”

Thomas laughed, "Yes." Only if you really have the potential and strength, don't be afraid that you won't be able to play it. I know one thing. What you want now is a chance and I'm looking forward to a chance to play and show yourself. For this, you don't have to worry at all, this opportunity will definitely come. There were always a lot of players on that court who weren't out of shape at times, and besides, the only playmakers for the 76ers were Holiday and Louis Williams.

The two of them are often out of form in the league and are not top defenders. Holiday can only be regarded as a second-tier. So, you don't have to worry about the chance to play,............" At this moment, a ringing of his mobile phone interrupted Thomas's words, and he took out the phone and answered: "Hey, hello. Can I help you? ”

I didn't know what to say, but I heard Thomas's voice say a little hurriedly, "Okay." I'll rush over at once, okay, I'll be there later. Uh-huh! ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, Thomas stood up from the gazebo, he patted Yu Yang's arm and said, "Don't worry, the opportunity is created by yourself." I'm still quite confident in you, I have something to do today, and I have to leave. I will contact you personally when I have the opportunity, and finally tell you a word: the hegemony of basketball is not for anyone, he is reserved for players with real potential, and the present does not mean the future. ”

After that, Thomas put on his hat and coat and strode out of the gazebo.

Thinking about this, Yu Yang sighed deeply, and now he came back to his senses and looked at the game on the court. Now that we're in the third quarter of the game, he's been a cold bench as expected. Holding his chin in his hands and staring at the game on the court has become a habit for him.

With 2:25 left in the third quarter, the score was 68-81, and the Warriors had a 13-point lead. The player in charge of the ball is Robinson, a Warriors bench player, and the tiny man, who is only 1.75 meters tall, faces Williams. He quickly gave it to Ellis, and Alice gave it to David Lee on the inside.

Opportunity, David Lee received the ball and shot directly in the empty position, and the ball went in. Now it's the 76ers, it's Holiday who organizes the offense, he controls the ball, and Thaddeus Young in the 12-yard area runs out to catch it. Holiday hurriedly handed him the ball, and then he rushed down, and when he broke through, he was defended by David Lee, so he made a behind-the-back pass.

Hawes received the ball, no one was under the basket, and he took a step with both feet, followed by a two-handed dunk under the basket. Hawes scored two points, and the two men clapped each other.

The ball fell into Ellis's hands, and he immediately launched a fast attack, and he was really fast. A stride from the basket went straight past Thaddeus Young and Turner, followed by an easy goal over the heads of both of them, and he simply ignored their presence. This little man is a wonder, and his strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

Now it's the 76ers' turn to attack, and it's Turner who is organizing at the center. He passed to Thaddeus Young in the high post and started to single Brown with a decent pace and his turnaround jumper. Brown jumped up and blocked, oops! The ball hit Thaddeus Young's hand. "Toot!" The referee's horn sounded, and a thug fouled. Thaddeus Young's penalty kick. (To be continued......)
