Chapter 448: Whiteside's Chance (Third Update!)
Since Whiteside has 2K ability value as the goal of struggle, the training attitude and enthusiasm have skyrocketed, which has impressed Li Yang, no, today's team training Li Yang came to the stadium in advance for a short time, and Whiteside also came to the stadium to train, earlier than several other starters in the team.

Of course, Whiteside wasn't the only hard-working player on the Celtics, with the likes of Jay Crowder and Olynyk coming early.
After practicing for a while, Li Yang became interested and called Claude, Olynyk and Whiteside to train together.
The four of them train together, nominally two against two, Li Yang and Olynyk in a group, and Crowder and Whiteside in a group, but the training method is not a game like bullfighting, but a practice of offense and defense.
Li Yang's group of attacks, Crowder and Whiteside defend, Li Yang's practice is also relatively simple, that is, blocking and dismantling, Li Yang and Olynyk play blocking and dismantling, while Whiteside and Crowder are responsible for defense.
Blocking and dismantling is a common tactic in the game, and Li Yang also wants to practice blocking and dismantling with Olynyk, and at the same time, let Crowder and Whiteside do more defensive training in this area.
So far in the season, Crowder and Whiteside have not had many opportunities, Whiteside has not played at all, and Crowder has not had many opportunities to play, both of them have accompanied Li Yang to train for a lot of time this summer, Li Yang knows very well what they need to rely on if they need a better foothold in the team, so they also want to help them improve their defensive ability.
Li Yang held the ball outside the three-point line, Olynyk played blocking and dismantling, and Crowder's defense was also in place, but it was too difficult for Crowder to defend Li Yang alone, not to mention Olynyk's interference.
The first ball was dismantled by Whiteside Olynyk in time, and Li Yang did not waste too much effort to break through Crowder's defense and rush into the interior to complete the attack.
After re-serving, Whiteside had a heartfelt eye, and he flashed out of Olynyk's side in time to pinch Li Yang with Crowder, at which time Li Yang passed the ball, and a back pass sent the ball to Olynyk outside the three-point line.
After Olynyk received the ball, Whiteside immediately rushed over to defend, this is a 2-on-2 training, Olynyk will naturally not run too far after blocking and dismantling, otherwise it will lose the meaning of training, so Whiteside's defense is actually quite timely, but it is still slightly slower by half a beat, allowing Olynyk to shoot directly outside the three-point line.
On the next ball, Li Yang took advantage of Whiteside's hesitation to defend him or Olynyk and hit a layup.
"Hassan, you're running too slow!"
When he saw Whiteside looking at him with puffed eyes, Li Yang couldn't help but tease.
"Hell!" Whiteside muttered after listening to Li Yang's words, and then picked up the ball again and shouted to Li Yang: "Yang, don't be complacent, be careful that I cover you to death!"
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do this!" Li Yang said indifferently after hearing this, so angry that Whiteside's teeth itched.
The ball came to Li Yang's hands again, Olynyk stepped forward again to block and dismantle, Whiteside still chose to fight with Crowder, and the two did stop Li Yang.
Li Yang didn't force a breakthrough at this time, he turned around and looked at Olynyk, and then pulled the hand that dribbled and made a passing feint towards Olynyk.
Although it was just a fake action of passing, but with Li Yang's turn and eyes, it was extremely realistic, so that Whiteside couldn't help but be deceived, and when Li Yang made this move, Whiteside immediately rushed back towards Olynyk.
At this time, Li Yang took advantage of the situation and turned around one and a half, leaned Claude on the side of his body with his body, and rushed directly towards the basket.
"Stop this cunning guy Young!" Whiteside finally reacted at this moment, and hurriedly shouted at Claude as he quickly rushed towards the inside.
Claude also wanted to stop Li Yang, but it was too easy to do this without being able to completely jam Li Yang's front, and he was reluctant to rush outside the three-second zone, and when Li Yang suddenly accelerated and rushed into the three-second zone, Claude's pace couldn't keep up.
Li Yangfei, who threw off Crowder, made a layup, Crowder's body was strong, and a series of previous physical contacts brought some interference to Li Yang, so at this moment Li Yang did not choose to dunk, but chose to make a layup.
Holding the ball in his right hand and about to make a move, at this time, Li Yang suddenly felt a dark shadow overhead, and at the same time, a long arm actually reached out.
"It's coming pretty fast!" guessing that this was Whiteside, Li Yang was a little surprised in his heart.
At this moment, Whiteside, who was jumping behind Li Yang's side, was flashing with excitement in his eyes, waved his hand and pressed down on the basketball in Li Yang's hand, and said in his heart: "It's finally going to cover this guy Yang." ”
"This?" Whiteside's eyes bulged again.
I saw that Li Yang in the air suddenly withdrew the ball that was originally held high, and then his body curled up slightly, and he got under the basket, and the nail on Whiteside was blocked and was avoided like this!
Under the gaze of Whiteside's wide-eyed eyes, Li Yang, who got into the basket, drilled out from the other side of the basket, and at the same time pulled the ball up, with a slight flick of his wrist, the basketball hit the rebound with a sharp spin and then drilled into the basket, pulled the rod to the basket, and hit!
"Hey, buddy, you almost covered me!"
completed an incomparably beautiful layup, and after Li Yang landed, he didn't forget to turn his head and hit Whiteside, who was still wide-eyed at this time.
After hearing this, Whiteside glared at Li Yang fiercely, and then couldn't help but look up to the sky, it was indeed a little close.
"Seriously, buddy, you did a great job just now. ”
Seeing Whiteside's appearance, Li Yang smiled, and then said with a serious face. Li Yang's words are really not backwords, nor is it to make fun of Whiteside, but to say sincerely, this ball is him, replaced by others, nine times out of ten it was blocked by Whiteside.
"Huh?" He also felt that Whiteside's defense was quite good and Stevens, who had long been standing aside, he had observed the training of several people for a while, and he did not think that Whiteside's defense was not in place because Whiteside had let Li Yang score in these rounds, on the contrary, he thought that Whiteside's defense was very good in these rounds, you know, they had to defend Li Yang at this time, and it was two defenses, it was too difficult to completely prevent it, and it was quite good in Stevens' opinion.
Especially the defensive awareness and movement ability shown by Whiteside just now, which made Stevens can't help but shine.
In the next few rounds, Whiteside and Crowder's defense became more tacit and improved, not only successfully interfering with Li Yang's offensive performance, but Whiteside also rewarded Olynyk with two big hats.
Whiteside's performance made Stevens nod his head secretly, and also made his attention completely focused on Li Yang's training, until the assistant coach reminded him that the team training was about to start, and Stevens realized that the agreed training start time had been exceeded.
Stevens gathered all of his squad together for today's practice, but he felt that he should have to adjust the lineup and direction of the training.
