Chapter 47 Let's Form a Team

"So fast? It can be seen in a few minutes?" Harper's entourage showed doubts.

Harper chuckled: "I'm even a little conservative! Those talented players are often like torches in the dark, even if you are blindfolded, you can feel it. Every one of these guys can make it to the NBA. The difference is also a second-round pick."

The entourage nodded, and Harper continued: "During the time I was playing for the Lakers, Mr. West once told us the story of him choosing Kobe Bryant. Guess how long it took him from meeting Kobe to finalizing the decision. ?”

"How long? A day?"

Harper stretched out four fingers, and the entourage showed surprise: "Four hours, that's really fast."

"No!" Harper waved his hand. "In 4 minutes, he only took 4 minutes to confirm that Kobe is the higher level of all the players participating in the trial training. He also brought in Michael Cooper for the test. Kobe easily beat Cooper."

"And this kind of thing..." The entourage pointed to the infield, "Who is the most talented among this group of boys?"

Harper thought for a moment: "That little black fat guy with a beard is the strongest, he has a bit of Jordan's shadow..."

"You really exaggerated this time!" The entourage laughed and shook their heads. "I think he is a strong defender, but I thought you were going to say that the Asian kid introduced by David, from your tone just now, it seems that he is the strongest one."

"Time will tell us the answer." Harper smiled. "That Asian boy is obviously a hard-working player. He will be better in the early stage, but his potential is relatively low. Among this group of people, only the little black fat has unlimited potential."

...

On the court, the university group attacked.

Gabe ran across the center line with the ball, raised his hand and threw it to Westbrook, and ran to the right by himself.

Westbrook caught the ball and took it to the top of the arc, waved down Love's pick-and-roll plan, and waved to Su Yang instead: "Come on, I want to experience your dogfighting defense and see if it's not as exaggerated as James said."

After the words fell, Harden seemed to find that his little secret had been exposed, and his face showed a little embarrassment.

Nick Young laughed: "Don't panic, before you came, Russell said you were very excited that night..."

Le Fu and the others chuckled and walked away to make room for each other.

Harden shrugged, turned to look at Su Yang: "You have to defend with all your strength, don't let them think that I am too weak."

"OK!" Su Yang gestured, strode to the top of the arc and stood still, clapping his hands to signal that the preparations were complete.

"Then I'll start." Westbrook slapped the ball for himself, his eyes fixed on the front, as if preparing for something.

Su Yang thinks quickly: Westbrook's biggest advantage at this stage is speed. His close defense will definitely be broken through, and it is easy to force him to occupy the advantage of height and strength at the basket. It is best to force him to make mid-range shots. It is difficult.

Just as he was thinking, Westbrook dropped his shoulders and sped up, turning sideways and heading straight to the right, his figure was like lightning.

Su Yang collected his thoughts, subconsciously retreated, and blocked the breakthrough space one step ahead.

Westbrook took advantage of the situation and pulled his body forward, switching his right hand to his left, and got into the paint like a diver.

Su Yang retreated again, followed by twisting his hips sideways, sliding his feet and moving in parallel, preparing to break through the limit to the end.

Both of them ran three steps in a row, and Westbrook suddenly stopped the ball and raised his hand, as if breaking the laws of physics, with no inertia at all.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang also stopped his steps, stepped forward suddenly, and got close to Westbrook.

I thought, Westbrook raised his left hand to his chest, and abruptly changed the direction in front of his body, and the Buddha worship action appeared.

Cheers sounded in the arena, Su Yang hurriedly twisted his hips, kicked off with his right foot, and tried to predict the block.

Westbrook seemed to have expected it a long time ago, turned around and easily dodged, and then pulled up to jump and throw.

Unexpectedly, Su Yang took off again in a short time, blocking his sight like a protruding wooden stake.

The two had physical contact in the air, Westbrook forced his wrist to shoot, and the basketball hit the basket and rebounded.

Harden picked up the basketball and didn't move forward. He laughed at Westbrook and tortured his soul three times in a row.

"How? How? How? I didn't lie to you, did I? You still dare to laugh at me in the future."

Westbrook tilted his head and curled his lips, ignoring Harden's complaints, and raised his hand to pat Su Yang on the shoulder: "I shouldn't be playing tricks. After I worshiped you, I just layup honestly, but your defense is really good, better than James. ten times."

Le Fu and the others laughed again, Harden spread his hands and walked away: "Some people just like to talk hard, let you understand right away..."

After finishing speaking, Harden dribbled the ball forward, reached the top of the arc in a blink of an eye, dribbled the ball on the spot and waited.

This action, coupled with the previous sentence, was clearly intended to be singled out, and all the players walked away to make room.

Su Yang stood on the right wing and watched, and suddenly rose to act as a commentator.

"James dribbles around his crotch, he drives left, he gets blocked by Russell, he plays close to his back. See? He wants to use his strength advantage, he wants to... He loses the ball, pull Serge made the steal!"

Laughter erupted in the arena. Su Yang was about to return to defense when he suddenly saw Harden complete the counterattack.

"Wait! James got the ball back, he went to the hoop, he dunked! BOOM!"

After the voice fell, Harden landed at the same time, turned and roared at Westbrook, like a child winning a fight.

Westbrook smiled all over his face: "You won, you won, you are better than me, don't be angry with me!"

"Just admit it!" Harden raised his eyebrows and stared in satisfaction. "His strength is his weakness. You have to think of a way to it. I won an easy one-on-one match against him before, relying on strength to break down his defensive posture..."

Seeing that the attention was shifted to himself again, Su Yang felt happy: After all, he is a good friend.

Putting his mind away, Su Yang ran to the top of the front court and stood still, and Westbrook really chose to single out again.

This time there were no fancy moves, and Su Yang could only passively follow.

Westbrook made an emergency stop at the basket to force the layup, Su Yang jumped almost simultaneously to block the shot, and the two collided in the air.

Su Yang almost fell when he hit the ground, but Westbrook's stability was unaffected, but the basketball hit the basket and rebounded and fell.

"Awesome!" Wei Shao gave a thumbs up to show his praise, and Su Yang responded with a smile.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Harden ran to the left wing with the ball, raised his hands and passed it to George on the left waist.

Just before he got the ball and had no time to make a move, Westbrook strode back and teamed up with Love to attack.

George passed the ball back, Harden caught the ball and held it high, but Westbrook quickly returned to the defense.

Harden shook the three threats, seemed to have no desire to attack, raised his hand and threw the ball to the top of the arc.

Su Yang received the ball and turned to face the right. Seeing that DeRozan was stuck on the right waist again, and the area under the basket was relatively empty, he chose to dribble to the right after thinking for a while, and beckoned at the same time, pretending to use a cover to finish breakthrough.

DeRozan raised it knowingly, and when Nick Young followed suit, he suddenly ran back and cut inside.

Su Yang decisively threw the ball above the basket, and the landing point happened to be the most comfortable position for DeRozan.

With a bang, an empty dunk!

There were cheers in the arena, and DeRozan flew to the ground, beating his chest to Su Yang from the air.

University group attack.

Gabe ran across the center line with the ball, approached Westbrook and whispered a few words, and the two commanded their teammates to move at the same time.

The three of Nick Young responded upon seeing this, and ran to the right-wing area to stand together.

Seeing this, Gabe passed the ball to Westbrook, and then strode to the left wing.

Seeing this, Su Yang chased Gabe while yelling, "They're going to play a double dislocation screen, pay attention to the delay..."

Before the words fell, Nick Young started from the right wing, and with the help of Love and Mbah a Moute, he went straight to the top of the arc.

Perhaps it was a reminder in advance, DeRozan quickly squeezed through the wall and chased Nick Young again.

This situation is not easy to pass the ball, and the first offensive attempt of the college group fails.

Westbrook decisively pulled the ball to the right and broke through, but Nick Yang was stunned for a moment, and took advantage of the opportunity to step up the wall to block Harden.

DeRozan quickly switched defenses to intercept, but Westbrook was too fast and was delayed twice by Mbah a Moute.

Horn chose to switch defenses and entered the inside line with Westbrook, while Mbah a Moute turned around and cut in to follow up, taking advantage of the dislocation.

On the other side, Su Yang chased Gabe, crossed the paint area from the bottom line, and came to the bottom corner on the right. He wanted to get close to him to suppress the space he had, but was delayed by Love's wall, so he could only sit and watch Gabe get it. Super big space.

In this way, the university group got three final scoring opportunities almost at the same time, and the tactics were completely successful.

In the blink of an eye, Westbrook threw the ball into the air, and Mbah a Moute, who followed up, jumped up.

With a bang, it was also a dunk.

There was applause in the arena, and Nick Young laughed with his arms akimbo: "Young people, do you see? We also have tactics!"

Wei Shao shrugged slightly, and chuckled at Su Yang, seeming to say: Just now I was playing with you casually.

Su Yang nodded with a smile, knowing that the double-displacement screen set just now by the university team is also a classic tactical routine. It is suitable for people with strong breakthrough ability and good at passing.

It is also quite simple to defend. It requires everyone to actively delay and switch defenses. It is good against weak teams. The Spurs often like to do this. The abuse is simply ruthless, but it is basically useless against a disciplined defensive team.

In a blink of an eye, Su Yang took the ball to the top of the arc, slowed down and stopped, and hooked Westbrook.

He wants to try to single-handedly beat Westbrook. After all, Westbrook was famous for his defense in college. He even locked up the No. [-] high school student OJ Mayo in the United States. He also has a strong one-on-one defense in the NBA, but his off-ball defense is really bad.

Considering Westbrook's speed advantage, he can only choose to fight for rhythm, preferably the one that is more unexpected.

Just as he was thinking, Westbrook came to the top of the arc and clapped his hands to signal that he was ready.

Su Yang took a deep breath, kicked the ball to the right, and started at full speed.

Westbrook turned sideways, and at the moment he twisted his hips, Su Yang pulled the ball and retreated, making a quick two-point shot.

Westbrook's reaction was delayed by at most half a second, the basketball triumphantly lifted off and glided, and finally crashed into the circle and into the net.

There was applause in the arena, and Su Yang waved towards the bench, signaling for someone to replace him. The main reason is that the main four systems of the triangle offense have been demonstrated, and he has also performed in singles twice. It is time to leave the position to other players.

Some players got up and entered the field, Su Yang interacted with them with high fives, and then walked to the sidelines to stand and watch.

Soon, Westbrook also came to the sidelines and took the initiative to stand beside Su Yang.

"Leave me a call and play together when I'm free." Westbrook put his hands on his hips.

"In addition, I want to form a team with you, as well as James and DeMar. We will sign up for the Drew League next summer to compete with Baron Davis and other NBA players. Do you want to join?"
