Chapter 15 Summer League

This year, the Dallas Mavericks are playing in the Rocky Mountain Summer League, which runs from July 18 to July 26. A total of eight teams participated.

These include the Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks, DBDL (NBA Development League), and the Iranian national team.

The Dallas Mavericks are led by the team's offensive coach, Fernando Solano, to play this year.

It is not possible to participate in this kind of league with big stars, and the participants are:

Sean. Williams, Jose. Barria, Lane. Hollins, Gerald. Green, Brydon. Bass, James. Singleton, Keith. Michael Leod, Dwayne. Mitchell, Wang Dachun, and two undrafted picks.

Among them, Kees, Dwayne, Wang Dachun and the two undrafted players are currently not under contract.

The team gathered for training a week in advance in order for the players to better participate in the game, and after a week of running-in, they came to the site of the Rocky Mountain Summer League today.

After checking into the hotel, let the players take a break and gather in the rented basketball hall in the afternoon.

Wang Dachun is the first time to live in such a luxurious hotel, originally thought that it might be like the previous football team training camp, live in the cheapest hotel, two or three people squeezed into a room, but I didn't expect it to be a luxury single room.

Green told him that it was all commonplace. If the team plays at home, it is natural that they will not stay in a hotel, if it is an away game. Stayed in more luxurious hotels.

After a few days of training, Wang Dachun has more confidence in himself than before, and he finds that the distance between him and the NBA's center is not particularly large, and if he tries to catch up, he may meet the NBA standard.

In another room in the hotel, Solano was very unconfident about the use of Wang Dachun at this time, and was having a headache for the current team's starters.

Although Summer League is just a normal game for teams to observe their players, it does not count towards the NBA regular league. But this year is his first time in the brigade, and he naturally wants to achieve good results.

But in the starting line-up, it is the centre-forward problem that is causing him a headache at the moment.

There are only two centers in the team this year, one is Ryan Hollins and the other is Wang Dachun.

Hollins is better to say, after all, he has played in the NBA for a few years and has game experience, although he has not had much playing time, and his ability is very average, but he can barely use it.

But he really didn't understand what the hell this Wang Dachun was. Through the observation of the past few days, Wang Dachun's physical talent can be seen with the naked eye. But his skills are so rough that they can't even be compared to elementary school students.

He took out a piece of paper and wanted to list Wang Dachun's advantages.

Back? No......

Footsteps? It's good if this guy doesn't walk.

Demolition? He seems to have just understood what it means to dismantle the file, and the quality of the work is terrible.

Card slot? It took only two days to barely learn.

Penalty kick? Oh my God, that hits like. O'Neill can be his ancestor.

What drives Solano mad the most is that he can't eat bread under the basket. During training, there was an empty space under the basket, and the basketball was passed to Wang Dachun, he didn't know what to do, and passed the ball out again, and the angry Solano really had nothing to say. I really don't know what he wants for that long arm.

Cic?

Three points?

Hook?

Hehe. These seem to be very distant things.

Although Solano said that at this time, Wang Dachun was already worthless in his heart, and even like stinky shit. He remembered the first scene when he first met Wang Dachun. The one who slaps the basketball, and the ball runs and he doesn't run. It's really a dog feeling, and I feel that the team is more dangerous than him when he picks a control position under the basket.

But then again, this guy's physical condition is really good. The combination of his rebounding acumen and his own conditions is terrifying.

During training, he and Hollins grabbed rebounds, Hollins did not suffer in the face of Wang Dachun in terms of height, and with many years of basketball experience against a rookie, his card position was very good.

But you will see, when Hollins is desperately stuck in Wang Dachun's position. The two of them always took the basketball away, and it seemed that the card position was of no use at all.

And then there's his blocking and defensive skills, as you can imagine a guy who can grab the basket on tiptoe under the basket, plus he has super fast bounce speed and non-bounce ability. It is with these that he is indeed worth this second-round pick, and even the end of the first round.

However, because of his lack of competition experience. Wang Dachun is easy to be shaken, a feint or a random change of direction. You can get past him or get flapped.

The weapons he currently has at his disposal. One is rebounding, and the other is finishing ball defense that is barely usable.

So he thought about it for a long time before he figured out who should be sent to the starting line-up for this league.

Wang Dachun actually feels that he has lived a very fulfilling life these days, not only has he made new friends, but the coach seems to attach great importance to himself, often shouting to himself on the sidelines, which is a treatment that can only be enjoyed in the football team before.

When playing football. Once he conceded a goal on the training ground, the coach often criticized Wang Dachun with the momentum of digging your ancestral grave.

He thinks that the current basketball coach is the same, whenever he is passed by someone or jumps around, the coach always blames loudly, and he feels that the coach still attaches more importance to himself.

He didn't hear it and said that Solano was Mexican, and his roar at Wang Dachun was mostly a national scolding of Mexico, although he didn't mean to insult people, but it could be seen that he was angry.

In the past few days, the relationship with Jose Barria and Gerard Green in the team is very good, and it may be that there is no competition for positions among several people.

As soon as he stayed at the hotel, Green invited Wang Dachun to his room to play games after returning from training in the afternoon. Wang Dachun said to let Barria and Bass come with him.

Gree asked suspiciously:

"It's okay to call Balia, but call Bas over? Didn't you notice that he hasn't been kind to you since you came into the team? Why invite him? ”

"Aren't they all teammates, and we're close to each other!"

When checking into the hotel's assigned room, the four of them happened to be on the first floor.

"I also want to ask why, he seems to have a problem with me? I took the initiative to say hello to her a few times, but he ignored me!

"You don't have to worry about that guy! People who are taller than him, he seems to have opinions? I guess it's probably because although he is an interior player, he suffers too much in height. It's often eaten by people who are tall with him, right? So he doesn't have a good look at the big guys. But he doesn't have the courage to be the big guy of the team, and he's very diligent. ”

"In this case, then don't call him, let's play by ourselves."
