Choosing to join the Celtics, Li Yang is very clear about the situation and pressure he is facing, he is going to a team that only played 25-57 last season and has a winning rate of only 30%, if it is an ordinary weak team, it naturally doesn't matter, but the Celtics are a team with a glorious history, both fans and the media are paying attention to the reconstruction of the Celtics.

Another very important thing is the departure of Rondo, although according to Danny Angie, whether he joins Rondo or not, he will be traded, but Li Yang knows that the outside world will not think so, especially after Rondo continues to speak out in front of the media, almost everyone will think that it is because of his joining that Rondo is forced to leave.

So in the next season, the Celtics' record will definitely attract a lot of attention from the outside world, Li Yang believes that there are definitely many people who want to see his jokes, and if he can't lead the team to improve his record, or even improve greatly, he will accept huge pressure from the outside world.

However, the strength of the Celtics is very different from the Spurs they have been in, although Danny Ainge is now trying to strengthen the team, but it is clear that this is not a cluster, what Li Yang can do, what he has to do, is to make himself stronger.

So at this time, Li Yang did not rush to Boston, nor did he choose to go to other places to wave, but stayed in San Donianio, because there is Leonard and Green.

Leonard and Green are undoubtedly the league's top wing defenders right now, and Li Yang will be hard pressed to find a better sparring partner than them.

When he went to Boston to sign a contract a few days ago, Li Yang had an in-depth conversation with Stevens, and combined with his own ideas, he determined the direction of strengthening this summer, that is, the offensive ability with the ball, to be precise, the shooting ability with the ball.

In order for Li Yang to be a good playmaker and lead the team forward with this role, the first thing is to improve his threat and make himself able to attract the opponent's defense in every corner of the court, whether with or without the ball.

In terms of not having the ball, Li Yang's ability is good enough, whether it is cutting into the inside to attack the basket or going to the outside to catch the ball and attack, Li Yang can do well enough, but in terms of holding the ball, he is more killing or breaking through.

Due to the tactical needs of the Spurs before, Li Yang's training in holding the ball to create shooting opportunities was not enough, and this ability has become a shortcoming that Li Yang urgently needs to strengthen, after all, in the Celtics, when the opponent's defensive attention is focused on himself, Li Yang can no longer get as many open shooting opportunities and breakthrough opportunities as in the previous two seasons.

Throwing the ball into the basket under someone defending is the focus of Li Yang's training now, and the pull-up jump shot and the turn-back jump shot are the two techniques that Li Yang focuses on training.

In fact, in the summer of last year, Li Yang began to have training in emergency stop jump shots, but in the past season, Li Yang's focus was still on strengthening the stability of the fixed-point jump shot, and the emergency stop jump shot did not strengthen the training, and the stability was difficult to guarantee.

As for the technique of turning and leaning back, Li Yang is basically in the blank, and he has hardly practiced this aspect.

Practicing his turn and leaning back, which is also a very important reason why Li Yang chose to play in San Don Annio, because Kawhi Leonard has a little bit of fire in turning and jumping, and now he is strengthening step by step, Li Yang can just have someone to communicate with.

In the training hall, Li Yang and Leonard are in a one-on-one confrontation at the moment, Li Yang starts outside the three-point line with the ball, and it is Leonard who stops in front of him, the two are already very familiar, so even if Li Yang's start speed is not slow at this time, Leonard can still stop tightly.

Li Yang did not choose to use his speed to forcibly break through the opponent, he is now training with Leonard to shoot a pull-up jumper, attacking 30 balls each, and switching to the opponent after completing 30 shots.

"Squeak!" rushed forward to a sharp stop, and Li Yang quickly jumped up with the ball.

Leonard predicted all of Li Yang's movements very accurately, and after seeing Li Yang jump, he also jumped up after him, and his long arm probed to the top of Li Yang's head to interfere with Li Yang's shot.

Leonard's defense gave Li Yang a huge interference, only to see Li Yang's body in the air lean back slightly, and threw the ball out with extremely stretched movements, well, the next moment, the basketball passed through the net.

"Kehuai, I'm hitting again!"

When Li Yang said with a smile, Leonard picked up the ball and handed it back to Li Yang with an expressionless face, Li Yang sighed at Leonard's boredom, and started to attack again with the ball, this time, Li Yang chose to attack from the left side, and then hit a pull-up jump shot on the left side of the free throw line.

Li Yang's shooting feels very good today, although Leonard's defense is already very good, but Li Yang still has a very high shooting rate in the face of such defense, which is higher than Leonard's shooting percentage.

Of course, this was only in the case of the pull-up jumper, and when the two switched to practicing the low-post turnaround jumper, Leonard was clearly much more proficient and had a higher shooting percentage.

Li Yang didn't pay as much attention to the shooting rate at this time, he paid more attention to the consistency of turning and jumping at this time, and the control of his body after turning, which was the same as when he practiced shooting last summer, first practicing posture and then accuracy.

Compared with Leonard, Li Yang's bounce, agility and coordination are stronger, so although Li Yang cannot be compared in terms of shooting percentage, he is stronger than Leonard in terms of the height and stretch of turning and jumping, so purely from the perspective of shooting posture, Li Yang is more elegant and more beautiful than Leonard.

In the words of Danny Green, who was practicing three-point shooting on the sidelines, Li Yang's shooting posture was enough to make female fans scream.

Stop-and-go jump shots and turnaround jumpers are crossed, and in the absence of confrontation training, Li Yang also continued to practice fixed-point jumpers, layups, etc., of course, Li Yang has not forgotten the physical training, excellent physical fitness is his capital, and he naturally doesn't mind that his capital is stronger.

Day after day of intensive training, as time went by, Li Yang's offensive skills became more and more proficient, and his stability was constantly enhanced.
