I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 15 Summer League
This year the Dallas Mavericks are participating in the Rocky Mountain Summer League, which runs from July 7th to July 18th.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 Iran National Team.

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

It is impossible for big-name players of this kind of league team to participate. Those who participate include:
Sean Williams, Jose Barea, Ryan Hollins, Gerald Green, Braden Bass, James Singleton, Keith Michael Riod, Dwayne Mitchell, Wang Dachun, and two undrafted picks.

Among them, Keith, Dwayne, Wang Dachun and the two undrafted players currently have no contracts.

In order for the players to better participate in the game, the team specially gathered for training one week in advance. After a week of running-in, today came to the scene of the Rocky Mountain Summer League.

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

It was the first time for Wang Dachun to live in such a luxurious hotel. He thought that he might live in the cheapest hotel like the football team training before. Two or three people could squeeze into one room, but he didn't expect it to be a luxurious single room.

Green told him it was all normal.Naturally, the team will not stay in a hotel if the game is at home, if it is an away game.Live in more luxurious hotels.

After these few days of training, Wang Dachun has more confidence in himself than before. He found that the gap between himself and the NBA center is not very large. If he works hard to catch up, he may reach the NBA standard.

And in another room of the hotel, Solano is very lacking in confidence in using Wang Dachun at this time, and is having a headache for the current team's starting lineup.

Although the summer league is just an ordinary game for the team to observe the players, it is not included in the regular NBA league.But this year's is his first time in the independent brigade, so he naturally wants to achieve good results.

But in the starting lineup, the current headache for him is the problem of the center forward.

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

Hollins is better to say something, after all, he has playing experience in the NBA for several years. Although he has not had much playing time and his ability is average, he can barely use it.

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

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

back?No……

pace?The guy is fine without walking.

Block?He seems to have just understood what disassembly means, and the quality of doing it is terrible.

card position?It took two days to barely learn.

penalty?Gosh, that hits like shit.O'Neill can be his patriarch.

What drives Solano the most crazy is that he can't eat cakes under the basket.During training, there was an open space under the basket, and the basketball was passed to Wang Dachun. He didn't know what to do, and passed the ball again. Solano was so angry that he had nothing to say.I really don't know what he wants those long arms for?

CIC?

three points?

Hook?

hehe.These seem to be very distant things.

Although speaking of Solano, at this moment Wang Dachun has been demoted to nothing, even to the point of smelly shit.He remembered the first scene when he just met Wang Dachun.The one who pats the basketball, the ball runs, he doesn't run.It really feels like a dog. I feel that the team's choice of a point guard is more threatening than him at the basket.

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

During training, he and Hollins grabbed rebounds. Hollins is not at a disadvantage against Wang Dachun in terms of height, and with many years of basketball experience against a rookie, he is very well positioned.

But you will see that when Hollins is desperately stuck in Wang Dachun's position.When the two took off, Wang Dachun always took the basketball away, as if the position was of no use at all.

There is also his ability to block shots and assist defense. You can imagine that a person who can grab the basket on tiptoe under the basket, plus has super fast bounce speed and excellent jumping ability.It is based on these that he is indeed worthy of this second-round pick, and even the end of the first round is also worth it.

But because of his lack of game experience.Wang Dachun is easy to be swayed, a fake move or a random change of direction.You can pass him or get shot.

The weapons he can currently use.One is rebounding, and the other is barely available for finishing ball defense.

So he thought for a long time before figuring out who should be the starter for this league.

Wang Dachun actually felt that he had a very fulfilling life these days. Not only did he make new friends, but the coach seemed to take him very seriously, and he often yelled at himself from the sidelines. This was the treatment that he could only enjoy in the football team before.

When playing football.Once he concedes a goal on the training ground, the coach often criticizes Wang Dachun with the momentum of digging your family's grave.

He feels that the current basketball coach is the same. Whenever he is passed by someone or jumps wildly, the coach always criticizes him loudly. He feels that the coach still pays more attention to himself.

He didn't realize that Solano was from Mexico, and his yelling at Wang Dachun was probably a Mexican national curse. Although he didn't mean to insult people, his anger could be seen.

In the past few days in the team, the relationship with Jose Barea and Gerald Green is very good. It may be that there is no competition for positions between them.

Right after staying in the hotel, Green invited Wang Dachun to play games in his room after training in the afternoon.Wang Dachun said that Barea and Bass should come together.

Gree asked suspiciously:
"It's okay to call Balia over here, but call Bass? Didn't you find that he hasn't been nice to you since you joined the team? Why invite him?"

"Aren't they all teammates, and our rooms are very close!"

When they checked into the hotel and allocated a 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 several times, but he ignored me!

"You don't need to worry about that guy! People who are taller than him, he seems to have a problem? I guess it may be because although he is an inside player, he is too disadvantaged in height. He is often forced by his taller people? So He doesn't look good on big guys. But he doesn't have the guts to deal with big guys, and he's very accommodating."

"Well, then don't call him, let's play by ourselves."
