Five days later, the training camp for the new season officially began, and Li Yang also met his teammates and coaches, but as a new member, Li Yang did not receive attention. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even in the Development League, the status of players in the team is based on seniority and ability, and Li Yang naturally cannot be compared with the team members who won the championship last season, so it is normal to not be noticed on the first day.

Of course, the status of the so-called championship team members of the team is not necessarily very high, if there are NBA players who are devolved, the starters will be replaced, and correspondingly, the playing time of the rest of the players will be greatly compressed.

In this sense, the development league players are not very welcoming to the decentralization of NBA players, but this is obviously not for them, because the NBA teams also need to develop those players at the end of the bench through the development league.

No, on the second day of the training camp, Li Yang heard the latest news as soon as he entered the training hall, and the Spurs were going to release players.

“fu*ck！”

Li Yang began to warm up on the sidelines, and at this time he heard Justin Duntmon, who had just missed a ball on the court, burst out with a foul language.

Li Yang knows very well why Duntmon is unhappy, because the Spurs today include Corey Joseph at the point guard position, which means that Duntmont needs to give up his starting position, as for how much time to concede, it all depends on how long Joseph stays in the development league.

Another player the Spurs dropped was also a guard, but a shooting guard named Nando De Collo, a Frenchman.

The decentralization of these two players does not have much impact on Li Yang, firstly, neither of them is the position of Li Yang's small forward, and secondly, the gap between Li Yang's status as a newcomer in the team and the two NBA decentralized players is a bit big, and the two sides cannot affect each other.

Soon after Li Yang warmed up, this season's new head coach Tyler Jenkins walked in with a few people, but he was followed not only by two decentralized players, but by three people, the third person Li Yang still knew.

Josh Howard, as an NBA fan, Li Yang is no stranger to the former All-Star forward.

Entering the NBA in 03, Josh Howard used more than a season to secure the position of starting small forward in the Mavericks, and while helping the Mavericks reach the Finals, Josh Howard also grew into an All-Star player with excellent offense and defense, and signed a long-term contract with the team.

However, in the following years, the Mavericks fell into a slump, and Josh Howard also fell into a sharp decline due to his own injuries, coupled with a negative life, especially drugs, and Josh Howard was traded to the Wizards in the 09-10 season, and was traded to the Jazz last season.

Although Josh Howard can still contribute 8.7 points per game for the Jazz, considering his past history and the fact that both knee meniscus have been removed, Josh Howard is also facing a situation where he will not play with the ball as his contract expires.

Although Li Yang did not hear the news that the Spurs signed Josh Howard, he thought that the Spurs were also interested in the former All-Star small forward, so he joined the Austin Bulls.

"Hey guys, come on, meet our new members. ”

Taylor Jenkins clapped his hands, and Li Yang followed everyone to gather, and then stood at the back of the crowd.

"Guys, let me introduce you to some of your new teammates. ”

As he spoke, Tyler Jenkins introduced the three players to everyone. Canada's Corey Joseph spent a lot of time in the Development League last season, so he knows most of the team well, and at 1.91 meters tall, he has a relatively standard point guard build, and when Tyler Jenkins introduces him, he constantly smiles and greets those familiar players.

Nando De Colo was selected by the Spurs in '09 but wasn't signed until this summer, and while he wasn't as familiar as Joseph when he first came to the Development League, he still showed the enthusiasm of a Frenchman.

With the contrast between the two, Josh Howard's slightly arrogant expression naturally makes people look less comfortable, Li Yang doesn't know what others think, anyway, he doesn't have much affection after seeing Josh Howard.

When Taylor Jenkins introduced, Josh Howard just nodded slightly, and Li Yang didn't have much to complain about, because everyone's personality is different, and naturally treating people is different. It's just that the contemptuous eyes that Josh Howard showed when he looked at his group made Li Yang extremely unhappy.

Obviously, as a player who was once extremely famous in the NBA, Josh Howard didn't think much of these development league players.

But soon, Li Yang left such unhappiness behind, and now he thinks most about how to completely adapt to this body and improve his basketball skills, but he doesn't have so much time to pay attention to others.

After introducing the trio, Tyler Jenkins asked everyone to go their separate ways to train. Compared with the NBA, the development league has a higher degree of freedom of play, because of the large changes in personnel, coupled with the difference in level, the use of skills and tactics in the game is far less than that of the NBA, so in training, the time for tactical practice is correspondingly much less.

For example, in today's training, Tyler Jenkins did not arrange tactical drills at all. Of course, this may also be because training camp has just started, and Tyler Jenkins feels that he needs to wait for everyone to get used to it a little bit before rehearsing.

Li Yang returned to his position to train, his main training project now is dribbling, which is also Li Yang decided after some consideration, before crossing, Li Yang has a very good shooting ability, but the body he now has is quite poor, after trying to shoot a few times, Li Yang found that the wrist is extremely stiff when shooting, and it is also very unfamiliar.

The shooting action is a systematic project, every detail is very important, and Li Yang's control of this body obviously does not allow him to accurately control these details, and the use of wrist fingers also requires a lot of training, not that he can rely on the memory of his previous life, after all, these are two completely different bodies.

Through more training and dribbling, Li Yang hopes to improve his ball sense, and then strengthen the use of wrist fingers, while on the other hand, his ball control ability was good in his previous life, and he still needs to choose a more familiar project after all.

And because of his excellent physical fitness, the former owner of this body, Youngli, chose more to impact the inside line of play, and his dribbling also has a certain foundation, Li Yang is now training, what he has to do is to adapt to the dribbling habits of the current body first, rather than forcibly changing, which is also a little rule that he summed up by adapting to this body these days.

"Smack!"

The training of dribbling is relatively boring, but Li Yang is very focused, his two hands are constantly alternating to shoot the ball, his eyes are firmly staring at the basketball, and then carefully experience the feeling of every hand contact with the ball.

"Hey, boy, come and practice with me!"

When Li Yang lowered his head and dribbled, he vaguely heard someone shouting, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but continued to focus on practice.

"Sh*ite! that kid in the number 6 jersey, can't you hear me?"

Hearing someone swearing and saying his number, Li Yang finally raised his head, and then he realized that Josh Howard had come to the field next to him to practice without knowing when, and he was walking towards him at this time.

"Boy, do you hear me, come and practice with me!"

Josh Howard continued to shout as he walked towards Li Yang, and his shouting also attracted the attention of the others in the training gym.

Li Yang's brows furrowed, if Josh Howard didn't shout so arrogantly, Li Yang didn't mind practicing with the other party, and he also hoped to have more opportunities to contact NBA players to really understand their strength.

However, Josh Howard's attitude made Li Yang extremely unhappy.

"What if I don't?"

"No?" Li Yang's answer obviously made Josh Howard stunned, and then smiled contemptuously: "Boy, are your feet weak when you hear my name? Then don't play, go back to drinking milk." ”

"I just don't want to waste time with a cripple who smokes marijuana. Li Yang is not good at stubble, and unceremoniously sneered at Josh Howard's sore spot.

"Boy, it's dead!" Josh Howard laughed angrily, "I like your sharp teeth, come on, let's have fun!." ”

"I'm with you!" watched Josh Howard walk beyond the three-point line, Li Yang agreed without hesitation, he knew that it was not wise to fight with the opponent at this stage, but it was never his style to retreat in the face of challenges.
