An intra-team match ended quickly, and it was clear that the outcome of the game was not everyone's attention, but more about the performance of the players in this game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so at this time, Li Yang is particularly eye-catching.

Even Justin Duntumon and Eric Dawson had to admit at this time that Li Yang was one of the two best performers in this matchup, the other being Kawhi Leonard.

Although Li Yang's half-court offense with the ball has been limited by Leonard in the game, Li Yang still scored 24 points through running without the ball, defensive counterattacks and secondary attacks.

On the defensive end, Li Yang's performance is also very dazzling, under his defense, Leonard's initial continuous offense was blocked, although he gradually found the offensive feeling later, but it was not easy to score, not to mention Li Yang's performance in assisting defense, the other party's five people actually ate Li Yang's hat.

Leonard's performance Austin Bulls players have nothing to be jealous of, and they can't be jealous, everyone knows that he came here just for rehab training, and the identity of the opposing Spurs' starting small forward will not change.

And with such a performance, Li Yang naturally became the object of the eyes of Justin Duntumon and Eric Dawson.

The only consolation for them is that the focus of the likes of RC Buford and Popovich is now on Leonard, who is being examined by the team doctor.

After the team's practice, Tyler Jenkins told the Austin Bulls that the players could be dismissed, but none of them left.

"What a hard-working actor!"

Although Justin Duntumon couldn't help but be sarcastic after seeing Li Yang start training in a corner of the training gym again, thinking that Li Yang was showing off to the Spurs management, he soon learned from Li Yang and began to train in a good way.

In fact, apart from Li Yang, Austin Bulls players have only a handful of times to practice after training. I don't know if Justin Duntmund thought about it while satirizing Li Yang, this is really ironic.

Of course, because of other ideas, although Justin Duntumon and others were training, their eyes still looked at a side door of the training hall from time to time.

Kawhi Leonard has been taken in by the team doctor for further tests to determine if he has fully recovered. R.C. Buford and Popovich and Tyler Jenkins and others entered the other room through that side door, and what would they be talking about?

However, if Justin Duntmon and the others were able to enter the room where Taylor Jenkins and the others were talking through this side door, they would not want to hear about it, because the person they were talking about was exactly what they didn't want - Li Yang!

"No, no, Young's performance during this period is definitely not accidental, although he has a terrible past and is not that good now, but I think Yang has the possibility to be a great player, no, I think he can definitely be a great player, I know his talent and hard work. ”

I don't know what topic we talked about just now, Taylor Jenkins seemed a little excited at this time.

"Okay, Taylor, I understand your thoughts, we've watched his whole workout, his physical talent and his defensive attitude, well, the offensive awareness seems to be good now, and I've got to admit that he's impressed me a bit. However, we have to worry about the fact that he was not a smart player in the past. ”

As soon as RC Buford said this, Tyler Jenkins immediately rushed to say: "No, RC, in fact he has always been a smart player, it's just that in the last few years his attitude has been a little problematic, and his bad performances are because of his attitude towards basketball, but now, he has changed. ”

Immediately afterwards, Taylor Jenkins stated Li Yang's previous conversation with him.

"Oh, the rise of a fallen genius? The story sounds like a lot of sense, oh, okay, Taylor, I'm sure it's not a story, well, I'll have to think about it. R.C. Buford turned his head to look at Greg Popovich and continued.

"A talented player who can't play because of his attitude and now he's getting back working hard and that's how he has been doing during this time, and today's performance makes me believe that he has the potential to become an NBA level player in the future, he has a lot of potential. But ......"

Speaking of this, RC Buford stopped, as if waiting for Greg Popovich to answer, but Greg Popovich seemed to know nothing and didn't have an interface, RC Buford had to helplessly say: "POP, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Greg Popovich, who had been silent, finally spoke at this time, and the old man said with a non-caring expression on his face: "RC, you don't have to look at me, since you drafted Tony (Parker) and Manu (Ginobili), I said that it was your business to draft players, I am just the coach." ”

Immediately afterward, Greg Popovich added: "And Buddy (Spurs' chief assistant Mike Budenholzer's nickname), otherwise Kawhi (Leonard) wouldn't have come to our team." ”

"Hehehe!" several people in the room were amused by Greg Popovich's words, and RC Buford and Mike Budenholzer, who were counted down by Popovich, shook their heads helplessly.

This is the old story of the Spurs, in the initial RC Buford chose Tony Parker and Manu Gino Belgium, Spurs head coach Popovich was not so satisfied, and even when he won the championship in 03, Popovich still wanted to send Tony Parker away in exchange for Jason Kidd, and the two sides even reached an agreement, only at the last moment Kidd reversed himself so that Parker could stay with the Spurs.

But in the end, RC Buford's choice proved to be very correct, Parker and Ginobili formed the Spurs with Duncan to form the Spurs three Spurs, and the GDP combination helped the Spurs lift the championship three times in '03, '05 and '07.

Although the stubborn Popovich doesn't say it, he actually agrees with RC Buford's vision of selecting people.

As for last season's draft, the Spurs traded George Hill, who Greg Popovich liked very much, from the Pacers for Kawhi Leonard, and Popovich initially did not approve of it, but eventually he and RC Buford agreed to the plan after being strongly persuaded by head assistant coach Mike Budenholzer.

It's just that Popovich is very fond of George Hill, so even though Kawhi Leonard is also very good, he still brings it up from time to time after a year.

Greg Popovich didn't say anything, and RC Buford knew that at least the other side should not be repulsive or opposed, so he turned his head to look at Mike Budenholzer.

"I don't want to be popped down a second time. ”

Seeing R.C. Buford looking at himself, Mike Budenholzer, who has blonde hair and the nickname of the protagonist of "Buddy the Dog", spread his hands and said.

"Haha!" everyone in the room laughed again, and the atmosphere was very good, which made Taylor Jenkins, who was originally slightly excited, also relaxed.

Although neither Greg Popovich nor Mike Budenholzer answered positively, RC Buford knew that the two of them should have a good first impression of Li Yang, at least some interest in what Li Yang showed today.

After thinking about it, RC Buford said to Tyler Jenkins: "Tyler, you have a good eye, we have some interest in this player, but ......"

Speaking of which, RC Buford shook his head, "We can't bring him directly to the team right now. ”

"Why? The team just planted a striker and we have the position to sign Young. Taylor Jenkins asked, puzzled.

'Yes, the team has planted a player, but actually, it's because we've got our eye on Australia's centre-forward Aaron Baines and we're planning to sign him in the near future. ”

As soon as RC Buford explained, Tyler Jenkins said: "No, RC, I don't know the player, but I'm sure, he's not as good as Young, I mean potential, I know you're going to like it." ”

"Yes, I see the potential of this young player named Young, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here. R.C. Buford said this, and after a slight pause, said:

"Taylor, we'll be watching for another month. If Young can show his effort and improvement over the course of a month, we will consider bringing him into the team, otherwise we will opt to sign the Australian centre-forward and we will have to prepare for the playoffs. ”

"No problem!" Taylor Jenkins said happily when he heard it, "man, you don't know how fast this guy is progressing, he's going to make a big difference in a month's time." ”

"I'm going to dig out a talent and bring it to the NBA, which is a great thing. With that, Tyler Jenkins walked out of the room, as if he was afraid that R.C. Buford would regret it.

"Taylor looks really like the player......"
