Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 4 So Ordinary, But So Powerful

Rob McClanahan drank a bottle of water, came to the field, and shouted at Lu Ming who was about to take a break, "Lu, listen, if you want to be an All-Star player, don't try to be lazy!"

"Robert, I'm not being lazy." Lu Ming reluctantly responded to the always passionate trainer with a shot.

Then go on to shoot a three-pointer.

His current training mission is to practice 1000 three-pointers in the case of off-ball or ball screens, pick-and-roll cuts and screen cuts.

There is not much time left before the NBA Summer League, and then there will be the preseason and the regular season. He needs to adapt to the NBA's three-point line as soon as possible.

This is a stage that every guard who has just entered the league must go through.

"Lu, how many times have I told you that you have to raise your release point and you must not shoot short balls!"

When Lu Ming made a shot outside the basket, Rob McClanahan yelled again.

Duang!

brush!
Lu Ming immediately made a three-pointer.

"Right, that is it!"

Rob McClanahan was thrilled.

How exciting it is to be able to coach a player who could at least become a phenomenon in the future.

If he had just started training, Rob McClanahan would have rated Lu Ming as a future All-Star player. After all, Manu Ginobili was used as a template, the draft pick was so high, and his basketball IQ was visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, next season will definitely be the core of the Knicks, with unlimited shooting rights.

After a month of training, his evaluation of Lu Ming has already been described as the savior of New York and the superstar of the alliance.

Sometimes, he even wondered if Lu Ming was bitten by a mutated spider like Peter Parker.

How could it be possible to look so ordinary, yet be so powerful?
To this, Lu Ming replied, "My dear Mr. McClanahan, don't you want to see a mortal in reality, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with a god with a mortal body?"

Although Robert McClanahan heard his blood boiling, he still said doubtfully, "Lu, I remember that you are a Buddhist student. Shouldn't you be a mortal and compare yourself to the Buddha?"

Buddha?
Lu Ming grabbed the basketball thrown by the training partner, and threw it out casually, hitting the center of the basket.

……

On July 7, Lu Ming came to the Knicks training camp in Las Vegas.

The team is led by the team's first assistant Kenny Atkinson.

There will be 21 NBA teams participating in this summer league, including this year's championship Lakers, Houston Rockets and other teams.

在7月10至19日10天时间内，21支NBA球队与一只NBDL精英队将会在拉斯维加斯进行55场比赛。

The opening game will be on July 7, local time, with 10 games played by the Lakers, Mavericks, Pistons, Warriors, Rockets, Bucks, Kings and Raptors to kick off the summer league.

The purpose of the summer league is to allow rookies to adapt to the NBA rules as soon as possible, and the second is to examine some marginal players.

Players like Mohammad Sené, Nikoloz Skitishvili, Yaroslav Korolev, Patrick Ewing Jr., and Maurice Almond, who were quickly abandoned after being selected by other teams in the past few years, participated in the summer league because they wanted to express themselves and seek a career in the NBA.

Such people are not uncommon. It can even be said that apart from the rookies in the summer league, [-]% of the remaining players are like this.

Therefore, a high-ranking draft pick like Lu Ming generally won't play for too long.

Most of the time, he is in the training camp to participate in the team's training.

"Tony, you should be more involved in the offense." During team training, Lu Ming said to Tony Douglas, who was marking him.

Tony Douglas was the No. 29 pick in this year's round. He was first selected by the Los Angeles Lakers, and then the New York Knicks got him with a second-round pick and a $300 million cash deal.

Next season, no accident will be the team's backup guard.

From Lu Ming's point of view, he has a lot of offensive methods and has adapted well to the NBA, but it seems that he is more willing to spend his energy on defense during the game.

There's nothing wrong with doing that in the regular season.

But this is in-team training, and it's in-team training in the summer league, and it's time to fully demonstrate your strength.

"Come on, Lu, don't you just want to take away my point guard duties?"

Tony Douglas was already very familiar with Lu Ming. Hearing his suggestion, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He didn't distract himself from the defense and said, "Well, Lu, to be honest, defense is more interesting to me than offense."

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, thinking I didn't feel your defense?
Then he stepped down and dribbled the ball twice. After dribbling the ball to the left, he stared at the trend of Tony Douglas to the left, then dribbled the ball from behind to his right hand, and took a small jump to break through from the right.

"Beautiful!" Atkinson couldn't help clapping, but shouted, "Tony, step up your defense! Pay attention to defense inside!"

Tony Douglas slandered inwardly, who the hell could guard against such fancy moves?
Besides, when it comes to the official arena, is there any use for this kind of action?
He had to admit that Lu Ming's actions looked very deceptive, and the first step of breaking through was not as ordinary as the draft report said.

However, why does this action look familiar?
When attacking, Douglas dribbled the ball across the half court and handed the ball to a teammate whose name he couldn't name, and then asked Lu Ming, "Lu, did you use that dribble move just now?"

Lu Ming was a little speechless. He looked at Tony Douglas who was standing with him, a bit like the audience in the field. He was obviously a point guard. Why did he hand over the ball after halftime?
But for his question, Lu Ming still answered seriously, "The day before yesterday, during the game between the Warriors and the Kings, Stephen Curry used this move several times. I thought it should be useful, so I learned it."

Learning now?
Tony Douglas couldn't believe it.

Just when he was about to stare at Lu Ming and give him a black face with a question mark, he saw that he had disappeared.

It turned out that when the two of them were standing aside and chatting, the marginal center on his side had already completed a mediocre attack, and the opponent also sent the ball out.

Then he turned his head and saw that Lu Ming was already hanging on the basket.

How can it be so fast?

Tony Douglas is a little skeptical.

clap clap clap!
Atkinson clapped his hands, indicating that the team training was suspended.

"Lu, you go to rest first, the next training, let them perform."

After Atkinson finished speaking, he patted Tony Douglas, who was a little frustrated, "Tony, Lu was right just now, you should add some proactive attacks yourself."

"Okay, coach, I'll pay attention." Tony Douglas is an obedient child.

"Also, each of you, you must bring out your usual highest level during team training, so that you can show your due level in the game and find a way out for your future! I don't want to see you all looking lifeless again, run for me!"

As expected of being a player development coach, Atkinson made the next team training full of passion as soon as he gave a lecture.
