Chapter 10: Weakness
While Xu Yong and the others were celebrating wildly, Bayles and the others had already left the outdoor court.
It's just that because there are too many people, they were pushed more than ten times, and they were squeezed out after seven or eight hits.
"I told you we shouldn't have come!" Hill was complaining.
During this morning's training session, they learned that the Devils had won against the Kickers, and they also learned about some of the game, such as Xu Yong's dunk against Griffin.
They were shocked when they heard this, and in shock, Bayless offered to come to Tempe to try the depth of the Devils.
He refused at the time, because it wasn't enough for them to watch the next Devils home game.
But Bayless eventually convinced him that the next Devils home game would be in a week, and that he would have to say a wild ball to get a better picture of the opponent.
It turned out that they were humiliated a lot, and in front of so many people.
Although most of the students present were students from Arizona State University, there were also many people from outside the school, and they were embarrassed!
"Jordan, don't care about winning or losing, our goal has been achieved." Bayless, however, was not angry at what Hill said, but instead had a look of great gain.
"What?" Hill had O'Neal a question mark face.
"James Harden, Xu Yong, the skills of the two new players on the Devils team we already know." Bayless replied.
Hill just smiled when he heard this, they just played a game with the three people opposite.
By this time, they had already arrived outside the school, and a group of people found a place to talk while waiting for a taxi.
"Harden has a good vision of passing, but the passing is adventurous, which is easy to miss in the game; He's all on his back and he's all on weight, he's too slow to turn and can easily get off when he gets caught in the middle, but on top of that, he's a left-hander, and we know that can defend him better. Bayless continued.
Bayless's analysis surprised Hill, but he was quickly relieved that Bayless was able to become their "leader" in his freshman year, not only because of his excellent ability on the court, but also because of his excellent ball intelligence.
"He's not fast on his sideways, he can't keep up with Jerry one-on-one, and it's easy to be a defensive hole when he encounters a pick-and-roll, which is lethal as a defender." Badinger also added at this time.
Battinger's ball intelligence was also excellent, but more importantly, he didn't score a point in the third game, and acted as a SVIP spectator on the offensive end of the court.
"As for Xu Yong, his bounce and speed are really better than I expected, as well as physical flexibility and confrontation, which we don't know, but his weakness is also obvious, he can't shoot, or he is not good at shooting, and he is far inferior to Chase in this regard." Bayless said and looked at Battinger.
Not only is he excellent in ball intelligence, but he also graduated with a perfect score in "Emotional Intelligence".
Of course, this is also the truth, Badinger is a lot worse than Xu Yong in confrontation and speed, and Xu Yong's confident playing style directly stunned Badinger.
But as he said, Badinger is more well-rounded, especially when it comes to outside shooting, and Badinger is a player who can shoot close to 40 percent from three-point range.
The difference between this and the whole game is huge.
Even from a tactical point of view, they can put Xu Yong's three points and flank Harden in the regular season, and this time they can catch the two weaknesses of the Devils!
Badinger was in a much better mood when he heard this, although he was actually the most humiliating today, but it was just a wild ball.
Hill also nodded at this time, the anger they suffered in Tempe today, they will double it back at home another day.
……
After more than half an hour, Xu Yong and the others finally left the outdoor field.
It's not that they don't want to go, it's that the student fans are so enthusiastic after the win.
And of course they enjoyed it, too.
"That's so cool!" Ayres couldn't help but shout excitedly after he came out.
The Devils' two wins last season were ugly, but the five wins of the previous season were also ugly, and they didn't win against the Wildcats for two years in a row.
And for both seasons, Ayers was there.
So after seeing the hope, he was more excited than anyone else.
Xu Yong and Harden also looked happy.
It would be really cool to lead the Devils to suppress the Wildcats in turn, just as the Clippers suppressed the Lakers.
By the time they got back to their dorm, Cook Syx had somehow gotten a new Xbox 360 with the latest NBA2K8 in it.
There is a TV in the dormitory, and the Xbox360 can be connected to play directly.
This can make the team members who are already in a good mood excited.
2K7 is an epoch-making product of the 2K series, not only adding a street mode for the first time, but also adding details such as player sweating, and it is also the first time to obtain the image rights of all NBA players, and 2K8 is naturally very popular as its sequel.
And Xbox360Compared with Xbox, the image quality has been greatly improved, and the experience is full.
Everyone had a lot of fun, but no one ever picked the Celtics, and it became the object of everyone's complaints.
It's really what they've done this past summer that has had a big impact.
Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, it's been a long time since there has been such a "superteam" in the league.
"It's so unfair to other teams."
"They're taking a shortcut, and the gold content of such a championship is greatly reduced."
"I'm holding a grudge for LeBron, who just led the team to the Finals last season and would have had a good chance of winning the championship in the new season."
……
It wasn't until about eight o'clock in the evening that the team members dispersed one after another.
"Why is it still here?" Xu Yong asked, pointing to the Xbox360 in front of the TV.
"Hades said he bought it for you." Harden was already resting in bed.
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, Cook Six was afraid that he would not accept it, so he deliberately waited for such an opportunity.
"Xu, what do you think?" At that moment, Harden suddenly sat up again.
"What?" Xu Yong looked puzzled.
"Celtics." Harden reminded that he hadn't seen Xu Yong play Xbox360 before, nor had he seen him make a statement.
"There's not much to say." Xu Yong shook his head, then stood up.
"How so?" Harden was puzzled.
"It's normal for the core of the bottom three teams in the league to team up at the end of their prime." Xu Yong walked to the TV.
"But all three of them are key players, and that never happened." Harden reminded.
"No, in 1996, Barkley went to the Rockets and teamed up with Olajuwon and Drexler, but they lost to injuries, and the average age of the Celtics' core three is only a year younger than them, and they have the same age and injury risk." Xu Yong said that he had already started to collect Xbox360.
Harden was silent for a while, but still shook his head: "I still don't think it's fair to other teams." ”
"They took the assets that the team had accumulated over several seasons and overdrew the future to build a team like this, and Danny Angie took a big gamble." Xu Yong had already put away the Xbox360 as he spoke.
It was a big gamble, and if it weren't for the GOAT-level assist from Nets general manager Billy King, the Celtics would have entered quite a long rebuilding period when the Big Three get old.
Harden thought for a moment and nodded, whether it was Ray Allen or Garnett, the Celtics paid a huge price to get them.
"Do you think they'll succeed?" Harden then asked.
"Yes." Xu Yong has already started to change his training clothes.
"Why?"
"It's Danny Ainge, who has developed and retained two of the best young players, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins, and they're going to have a very balanced starting lineup that the Rockets don't have." Xu Yong said that he had already started to put on his shoes.
Harden nodded, the three cores of the Rockets team are all frontcourt, top-heavy, and what Xu Yong said does make sense.
"And ......," Xu Yong put on his shoes and stood up, "there is no Michael and his Bulls in this era. ”
Harden was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Indeed, the first and second people in the league now, one team is not strong enough, and the other is not strong enough, it is difficult to achieve the dominance of Jordan and the Bulls.
It was at this time that Harden noticed that Xu Yong was going out, and he couldn't help but ask in shock: "You still go to practice at night?" ”
Xu Yong nodded, he had to hurry up and practice three points.
The invitational tournament lasts about two months, which means that there are still two months left before the regular season actually starts.
It's not going to be easy for him to make three-point work in two months.
Today's performance on the outside of the field ball is a further reminder to him.
He took the Xbox 360 out of the room.
"Maniac!" Harden couldn't help but complain again, and then lay down on the bed.
The entertainment bureau has become a quality bureau, and the consumption is no less than a high-intensity training session, and Xu Yong even has to train, which is even crazier than training the next day after the competition.
However, he soon had some doubts, what would Xu Yong do with the Xbox360 in training?
