"Justin, pay attention to your teammates' movements, pass the ball out, do you have glue in your hands?"

"Eric, this is the first defensive rebound you've conceded? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Run, don't let the defenders stare you to death. ”

............

This is the Austin Bulls' in-team training, and the players on the court are constantly making adjustments amid the shouts of Tyler Jenkins, including Li Yang, of course.

Running to the outside, Li Yang did not receive the pass, and his opposing player followed very closely.

Without much lingering on the outside, Li Yang knew that this was not a position he was good at attacking, and as soon as he turned and ran back, Li Yang relied on his speed to get rid of his opponent and rush to the basket.

Corey Joseph, who was controlling the ball outside the three-point line, noticed Li Yang's running and passed the ball in time.

After seeing Li Yang jump, although the two interior players not far away had returned to the defense, they still rationally chose to give up the defense.

After a month of getting along, everyone has long understood the perversion of Li Yang's physical fitness, and no one will humiliate themselves.

"Bang!" Li Yang easily completed a dunk.

Without celebrating, Li Yang turned around and threw himself into defense. Unlike when he just came here, Li Yang at this time will no longer be excited about an ordinary dunk, although this is a game, but after all, it is only a confrontation within the team.

On the sidelines, Tyler Jenkins nodded, obviously satisfied with Li Yang's sense of running.

Tyler Jenkins was very pleasantly surprised by Li Yang's progress during this period of time, at the beginning of the training camp, Li Yang's performance was very bad, and the physical fitness that was once evaluated by the scouts as excellent is still there, but other than that, Li Yang is completely inconsistent with the scouting report, as if the scouting report is really not Li Yang's.

The offensive ability is so weak that it can be ignored, although the defense is positive but the habits are not good, the awareness of the overall defense has not been formed, and the tactical understanding ability is not bad, but the foundation is too poor, and it is difficult to meet the requirements in execution.

Li Yang's performance once made the rest of the team extremely suspicious of how he got into the team, and even in Tyler Jenkins' team, some people proposed to cut Li Yang directly. However, with the previous conversation, Taylor Jenkins was more patient than others, so he did not cut Li Yang, but planned to give Li Yang some time.

Tyler Jenkins proved to be the right decision, and Lee Yang has progressed phenomenally over time.

On the one hand, with Li Yang's proficiency in dribbling, he began to be able to hold the ball and break through to score, and on the other hand, he showed excellent off-ball movement ability, which allowed him to often get the opportunity to attack the basket directly.

Of course, Li Yang is not without problems on the offensive end, on the contrary, he has many shortcomings, single offensive means, inaccurate free throws, and even the shooting rate of layups is not high, but the physical advantage allows him to often end the offense with a dunk, or grab a rebound after a layup and attack a second time.

Compared with Li Yang's extremely rookie offensive performance at the beginning, this is undoubtedly a very obvious improvement.

Of course, Li Yang's improvement is not only in the offensive performance, but also on the defensive end, to be precise, Li Yang's improvement on the defensive end is more obvious.

According to common sense, the improvement on the defensive end is not easy to see, but the rest of the team can clearly feel Li Yang's progress.

From the initial bad defensive habits, the overall awareness is not strong, and he likes to defend alone and does not pay attention to co-defense, to now, Li Yang has faintly become a top soldier in the field on the defensive end.

On single defense, Li Yang has gradually changed his defensive habits and focuses on defense, so that every player who is in position with him has suffered, Li Yang's physical talent is too good, his height and arms are long, his reaction speed, and movement speed are very amazing, and his defensive attitude is very positive, and at the same time, that kind of gambling defense is constantly decreasing.

In terms of co-defense, Li Yang's defense integrated into the whole team is getting better and better, with excellent movement speed and enthusiasm, his defense covers almost the entire half.

It is because of the improvement and ability that Li Yang has shown on both offensive and defensive ends that in the last three days of training camp, Tyler Jenkins transferred Li Yang to the same group as several starters, which seems to have revealed a signal that Li Yang will likely become a starter after the regular season officially begins.

It is worth mentioning that Josh Howard signed a ten-day short-term contract with the Spurs after participating in a few days of training camp, but after the ten-day expiration, the Spurs did not sign a long-term contract with Josh Howard, and Josh Howard did not return to the Development League, which undoubtedly created conditions for Li Yang to enter the starting lineup.

For such a change, teammates can be described as envious and jealous, and people with all kinds of emotions, such as Justin Duntumon and Eric Dawson, important members of the team who won the championship last season, are very unhappy with Tyler Jenkins so much like Li Yang.

It's just that the head coach who led the team to win the championship last season has been poached by the NBA team as an assistant coach, and the newly appointed Tyler Jenkins will not attach too much importance to these championship members, after all, the NBA Development League is still for the NBA in the final analysis, and being able to discover potential players is the most important thing for every team, which makes them unhappy, but helpless.

As for Li Yang, he is very encouraged, although this is only the possibility of being a starter for a development league team, but after all, there is a chance to be a starter, which means more playing time, more opportunities, and more attention.

As a result, Li Yang has been training harder and harder these days, and he knows very well that all this did not fall out of thin air, but the harvest of his own training in the past period of time.

It is true that Li Yang has excellent physical talent, but in terms of technical and tactical literacy, he has a very big deficiency, so after starting from the training camp, Li Yang ******** thinking about how to improve himself.

In terms of offensive skills, Li Yang practiced very little shooting, he was just constantly practicing dribbling in the early stage, and in the second half of the month, he began to add layup training.

At the same time, Li Yang also carried out a lot of physical strength, strength, movement and other physical strengthening training under the guidance of the team's trainers.

Outside of training, Li Yang got a lot of videos from Tyler Jenkins, most of them about defense, and of course, a few about offensive tactics. He constantly watched the videos of various defensive masters in individual defense and co-defense, and then corrected some of his previous concepts and bad habits.

Fortunately, Li Yang had also thought about being a professional player before, so he was more formal than ordinary players on the field.

The same is true for the study of offensive tactics, Li Yang wanted to become a professional player before crossing, so he also has a deep understanding of some basic basketball tactics, plus he has excellent comprehension ability, and he understands tactics very quickly.

"Maybe I've really unearthed a genius?" muttered Tyler Jenkins after watching Li Yang actively assist in defense and affect Justin Duntumon's layup, followed by a defensive rebound to complete a full-court dunk.

"Taylor, what are you talking about?"

Thinking that Tyler Jenkins had something to say, the assistant coach who didn't hear clearly on the side asked, and Tyler Jenkins shook his head.

"Oh, nothing, I mean, it's time for the end of training, let's rest the lads. ”

After Tyler Jenkins announced the end of the team's training, the players left the training hall one after another, of course, not all, Li Yang stayed.

For Li Yang, this kind of team training intensity is not enough to consume all his energy, which makes him eager to improve himself have a lot of energy to continue to maintain training.

After getting familiar with his dribbling, what Li Yang is doing now is to make himself better at connecting with the ball during the break, and at the same time complete the layup after rushing to the basket.

Li Yang knows very well that when the official game starts, there are not many opportunities to rush into the basket to complete the dunk directly, and many times he can only finish the offense with a layup, so he must better master the skills of how to put the ball into the basket, and the practice of getting to the basket is easier to achieve than shooting.

On the other hand, basketball practice is like this, dribbling, layups, shooting - he is starting from the most basic, step by step to make his basic skills more solid.

Li Yang's current training is still boring, but he is immersed in it, he seems to be no longer in this spacious and bright basketball hall, but in the cement basketball court on the side of the street, at that time he faced the rising sun for the first time put the ball into the basket, excited inexplicably! At that time, "he" sweated for the first time to complete the crotch dribble, excited!

Gradually, the two figures began to overlap...... With the sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor, Li Yang rushed past the chair placed in the court with a change of direction, rushed into the basket and jumped up, flicked his wrist slightly, and sent the ball into the basket.

Taylor Jenkins, who was about to leave, looked at Li Yang, who was training with no one around, and nodded secretly.

"Yes, I have discovered a genius who has awakened from his slumber!

At this moment, Taylor Jenkins firmly believes in his own judgment, when a genius starts to work hard, his talent will eventually be realized, and then - fame!
