legendary basketball guard

Chapter 97 New partners and running-in trouble.

At the beginning of September, at the end of August, the Dallas Mavericks' training camp began. Most team training camps start at the end of September, but Dallas has been different in recent years. Everything is still for the championship.

The Mavericks added three players this season, Tyson Chandler, Alexi Akinsa and Lin Xiao, all from the Bobcats.Last season's playoffs because of Dampier's reimbursement and Dirk's accidental injury in the playoffs, the Mavericks were swept by rival Spurs 4:0.In other positions, there are no more changes. The 2nd position can be regarded as a reinforcement, but with the arrival of Lin Xiao, Jose Barea's playing time may be much less, but the Mavericks have no plans to let him go. .

No matter what kind of team, whether it is a strong team competing for the championship or a big team in the league, for the time being, there are great requirements on the center's ability to protect the frame, as well as the defense of the striker. As everyone knows, the curtain of the guard era is slowing down. Slowly pull away.

It's just that for Lin Xiao, who has just entered the NBA for a year, everything is still a little unaccustomed. The friendship of fighting for a season cannot be easily diluted.He originally planned to stay with the Bobcats, but he didn't expect that the small ball market of the Bobcats could not withstand the impact of the conflict with LeBron James.

On this day, Lin Xiao left the rented house early and simply ate some breakfast prepared by Wang Yaning,
When Lin Xiao arrived at the training center, he found a Mercedes-Benz parked near the training hall. Among the players of the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki was the only one who liked to drive a Mercedes-Benz, because this guy was German.

"Dirk came so early, it looks like I'm late." Logically speaking, Dirk Nowitzki should still be recovering from an injury and not able to train. I didn't expect him to come so early Arrived at the training hall.

"Shoot again, speed up your shot, your shot is too slow, here you have to shoot the ball at a faster speed, don't stare at the basket, just rely on feeling!" Lin Xiao walked out after changing his clothes , heard the voice of Dirk Nowitzki.

When he got to the court, he saw Dirk Nowitzki directing a shot from a black big man, Alexi Akinsa.

"It's really early for you to come, Alexie, Deke. Hello. Is there a fee for the class? Do you want me to come too." Lin Xiao said jokingly.

"Welcome to Mavericks. A class probably requires a Mercedes-Benz, but of course you are free." Dirk extended his hand in a friendly manner.Hugged with Alexi Akinsa. In terms of seniority, these two players entered the NBA in a higher age than Lin Xiao.
"No, no, go ahead, I don't intend to change my shooting action." Lin Xiao fled as if fleeing.But still watching Nowitzki pointing to Alexi Akinsa, Nowitzki's shooting is perfect, and two different shooting movements can be perfectly controlled.It's not interesting for Lin Xiao to watch from the sidelines, looking for a sense of the ball.He stepped forward and suggested: "Dirk, Alexi, it's still early, let's three have a shooting game, whoever loses, he will invite you to dinner at noon today."

"Don't be like Lin Xiao, you're cheating." Dirk Nowitzki looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile.

"In this way, I am outside the three-point line, and you are one step inside the three-point line. Alexi is two steps inside the three-point line, which is fairer." Lin Xiao thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Alexie said shortly, without hesitation.During the entire season, even in the off-season, Lin Xiao never stopped practicing three-pointers and mid-range shots.

However, Lin Xiao has been practicing defense most of the time recently, so he doesn't know how he feels recently.There is not much suspense in the result of the three-person game. Dirk Nowitzki made 10 of 10 shots, Lin Xiao made 10 of 8 shots, and Alexi's mid-range shots were not very good. He only made 10 of 7 shots and lost as expected. for this shooting game.

"I want to eat nine-year-old steak for lunch, and I haven't eaten it for a long time, as well as pasta." Lin Xiao has already started to determine the menu.

Soon, other players also came, including Old Kidd, Jason Terry, Sean Marion, and Tyson Chandler. Guard Barea, Deshaun Stevenson, an antique who entered the league in 00. The NBA is really a magical place. Stories of turning enemies into friends and turning enemies into enemies are happening every day.He was still talking trash to Jason Terry a few months ago, but now he's a teammate again.

After the players arrived, members of the coaching staff and the medical team also arrived one after another, including some staff from the management team also arrived at the training hall. After all, this training camp marks the start of the new season and requires full preparation.

Next to head coach Rick Carlisle is Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.Lin Xiao even wanted to ask Cuban more than once why he was so free. In early October 2010, the NBA preseason game started on time. Rick Carlisle put Lin Xiao in the starting lineup, partnered with Kidd in the backcourt, and forward Sean Marion and Dirk Nowitzki.Center Tyson Chandler.But the effect is not very good.Then Lin Xiao was put on the bench, but there was only one ball. Jason Terry was the attacker with the ball, and Lin Xiao also needed the ball, otherwise he would not be able to reflect his value, although his defense was good.In such a warm-up match, young players and new players from each team have become the main targets of training.

It seems that the preseason has started, and people realize that the surprising rookie of the Bobcats last season has arrived in the Mavericks.

In the third game against the Timberwolves, Rick Carlisle made a bold attempt to put Terry, Barea, Lin Xiao, Marion and Butler together on the court, and almost everyone paid attention to it. The fact that this game cannot be accepted is that in the 5 minutes of the third quarter, this lineup scored a full 28 points.The opponent, the Timberwolves, made 8 turnovers, and if you read it correctly, it was 4 turnovers.But the biggest shortcoming of this lineup is that it lost too many rebounds, almost allowing the Timberwolves to score a full [-] offensive rebounds.In the fourth quarter, when Dirk came on the court, he stepped up to the five position and lost fewer rebounds, but Dirk was not ideal when he played the five position, and then put Tyson Chandler in field.It didn't work too well either, until Alexi Akinsa came on.This big man who can follow the team to fast break on the court is the best choice for this lineup.However, the Mavericks still felt that something was missing, and there were many mistakes in passing the ball to each other.

Just like mutual distrust, Jason Terry didn't trust Lin Xiao very much, and Lin Xiao chose to make a decisive shot after receiving the ball instead of waiting.At the end of the preseason, the players all realized the problem.And the best way to cultivate mutual trust and enhance unity is to go to nightclubs.But Lin Xiao and Jason Terry didn't go, they made an appointment to have a chat.

　Thanks again for the reward from Brother Shen Zui Qian Ge, thank you.
