Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the time has come to June 2008.

Over the past two months, some members of the Devils, the trident of Seo, Harden and Ayers, plus Cook Six, Boateng and Albert, have formed a mini-camp and worked up a sweat in the school's training hall.

Each of them has a different training content.

Xu Yong practiced pull-out and ball-handling breakthroughs, Harden practiced shooting and defense, Ayers and Boateng practiced interior positioning and offense and defense, Albert practiced shooting and breaking, and Cook Sikes practiced defense and fixed-point three-pointers.

It can be seen from the content that their training content is crossed.

This will be very convenient, such as Cook Sykes against Xu Yong, Cook Sykes against Harden, Cook Sixes against Albert.

Kukkes: o(╥_╥)o

In addition, there are exactly six people, and the whole field cannot be practiced, but the half-court permutations and combinations of three to three can still be a good test of the training results.

Among them, Xu Yong's pull-up jumper and Harden's defense are impressive.

These two technologies have one thing in common, they both started from scratch.

Xu Yong's pull-up jumper has already paid off after almost two and a half months of training, and all he needs to do now is gradually improve his consistency.

As for Harden's defense, defense depends more on willingness and commitment, because Xu Yong's ball-handling ability has improved, and he can allocate physical energy to defense.

And in order to improve the most important lateral movement ability in defense, Harden also lost weight and gained muscle, which made him look leaner.

All in all, after two months, their progress is visible to the naked eye.

And in recent days, Sandike has also returned to school from a player tour.

When he appeared in the training hall, the players stopped training one after another.

And when Xu Yong and Harden looked at the familiar figure who came to the training hall with Sandek, they were stunned for a moment.

Harden looked incredulous, and Xu Yong couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

Because that person is DeMar DeRozan!

Sandek actually convinced DeRozan to come to the Devils?

No, American high school students will graduate in May and June, in other words, DeRozan should have thought about playing for the Devils before he graduated!

"Demar, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Harden stepped forward with wide eyes and asked, he was so smart, he naturally wanted to get that layer.

"I want to surprise you, tell me, are you happy right now?" DeRozan asked with a smile.

Harden laughed when he heard this, and directly gave his hair a big hug.

How could they not be happy, they didn't play in a high school at the beginning, and now they are finally continuing in college.

Xu Yong also stepped forward at this time, and after DeRozan and Harden finished hugging, he also shook hands with him and bumped shoulders.

Harden was more excited, he was more surprised.

DeRozan averaged 29.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3 steals per game in Compton High School in his last year of high school, leading the team to finally win the California High School Collegiate League, such data and performance made him directly ranked 5th among high school students in the class of 2008, which is much higher than Harden at the beginning!

And he was under the impression that Harden and DeRozan did not graduate from the same university.

It is impossible to say that because he was reborn, Harden and DeRozan's relationship became even closer.

So the only explanation is that the appearance of his butterfly changed the direction of history.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for DeRozan? Xu Yong didn't know, but what he could be sure of was that it would definitely be a good thing for the Devils.

Because of the addition of DeRozan, the talent of the Devils has also increased a lot.

Not to mention the fans, he himself is looking forward to the new season.

After DeRozan joined, their training intensity and enthusiasm were much higher than before.

Because of their own progress, they can see that DeRozan's addition is also real, and they can predictably make great achievements in the new season.

It's Cooks who forced a smile .jpg because he defended with another DeRozan.

It's people and ghosts, and he's the only one who is being beaten.

When the two were attacking and defending one-on-one, Xu Yong watched the game from the sidelines, and also had a basic understanding of the current DeRozan's strength.

Unlike his impression that "the college version of DeRozan is a rough guy", DeRozan can already play with the frame and back basket at this time, and the distance in one hand and the turn between the breakthrough march are even better.

This is actually a bit similar to the Griffin he played last season, and the technical moves that can be made under the intensity of the NCAA game can't be done in the NBA, so it doesn't look like a rough guy.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to average close to 30 points per game in high school.

And DeRozan's speed is very fast, and his explosiveness is also very strong, and he is also the master of the sky and the earth like Xu Yong.

But if you compare him with Xu Yong, whether it is dynamic bounce, bounce speed, or static height and arm span, he is worse.

This is probably the reason why he is a master of skills in history, as a Mamba descendant, but he always feels almost meaningless.

The lower limit of basketball depends on hard work, and the upper limit still depends on talent.

And his current confrontation is relatively poor, after all, few people dare to practice their strength when they grow their bodies like Xu Yong.

"Xu, are we looking forward to the championship next season?" At this moment, Albert on the side turned his head and asked.

Xu Yong smiled, neither answering nor denying.

I didn't answer because I didn't want to break Albert's confidence.

I didn't deny it because Albert was carrying a bell in his arms and wanted to (ring) beautifully.

How can the NCAA championship be so simple, you really should read basketball novels!

The two teams that reached the finals last season were 10 four-star high school students at the University of Kansas (including five five-star high school students) and seven who later entered the NBA; The University of Memphis has fewer NBA players, only four, but there are also eight four-stars, and the key is that they have experienced Rose, who has been unable to solve in the NCAA.

And last season was by no means a special case, let's talk about the 2009 year in history, the draft year, the final champion of the University of North Carolina 11 four-stars (including 6 five-star), the final 7 into the NBA, the runner-up Michigan State University also has 8 four-star.

This actually shows the fact that because the NCAA does not have a transfer system, and students can play for four years, there is basically only one way to win the championship: pile up talent.

If not, why are the champions always those big teams?

What you fight is involution!

And they, even if you count DeRozan who just came, 2 five-star and 1 four-star, the others are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and Cooks' three-star is considered talented.

This is actually a bit similar to the Rockets last season, winning the championship looks promising, but it is just watching.

However, although the title will be difficult, it is predictable that they will have a chance to go far in the tournament.

Of course, the food has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be taken step by step, and now they are not yet ready to think about the championship.

Because the addition of DeRozan will actually bring a lot of problems.

For example, Harden is a ball-holding type, Xu Yongxin also needs the ball to develop the ball, and DeRozan also needs the ball; Another example is how to arrange the starters, if DeRozan directly tops Cook Cix, then the team's outside defense will collapse again, because DeRozan's defense is not much better than Harden and so on.

Of course, these questions are all thrown at Sandek.

Xu Yong is not worried about this, Sandek has already proven his ability last season, and he believes Sandek can handle it.

Not long after DeRozan arrived in Tempe, Xu Yong followed Yao Ming back to China.
