One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 825: : More than a rookie

The summer of 2017 is destined to be a crazy summer. Kyrie Irving voluntarily left Cleveland and joined the team of the Celtics. Anthony and Paul George, who had made enough money in New York, turned back and found that they did not have a championship, moved into Oklahoma City, and the Thunder's new Big Three was born. Chris Paul airborne Houston and the rocket lift off is just around the corner. Jimmy Butler settled in the Minnesota Timberwolves, Thibodeau is expected to lead the team back to the top. Zhou Qi and the Rockets formally signed a contract. After Yiyang continues, the NBA will add Chinese elements...

Compared with these transfers that have disrupted the league, the Dallas Mavericks are not so dazzling. The West has become so strong that even if Yiyang and Hayward join forces, it will not necessarily allow the Mavericks to regain their glory.

The new season will definitely be very difficult, because almost all the powers are piled up in the West. If you want to break out of the siege, you are destined to make some effort.

And hard work, if it only starts in the new season, it will be too late. Under Yiyang's call, Mudiay, Mitchell, Kuzma, and Gobert put themselves into the hard practice of the training camp early. The championship will not be sent to the door by himself. Yiyang knows very well that if you want to get this honor, you must put in the sweat that can match it.

Under the guidance of Brickley, several people spent the rest of the summer in the training hall. Fortunately, Mitchell and Kuzma are just first-year rookies after all. But Yiyang and Gobert, two superstars worth more than 100 million yuan, don't spend a lot of money. They only know how to practice football every day, which makes Brickley feel a little unbelievable.

But this is precisely why Yiyang was able to succeed. Gobert practiced with Yiyang every year, and now he has developed such a habit. But without these efforts, Gobert, who was selected only with the 27th overall pick, would never get the chance to renew his contract with the maximum salary in his life.

Rudy Gobert has improved very quickly. Last season, he averaged 14 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. In the past, people could only say that Gobert had great potential. But now, he is absolutely worthy of the title of the league's top center.

Gobert's progress inspires the other three young people, and they also hope to change their destiny through their own efforts like the "Suffocation Tower"!

In the training camp, both Mitchell and Kuzma's performance made Yiyang happy. This summer league, the Mavericks with Mitchell and Kuzma won the championship, and Kuzma also won the summer league MVP. Some people may say that the summer league championship is nothing great.

But it is very unusual for a championship team to still win the summer league championship with a rookie.

What worries Yiyang most now is Mudiay. In the Nuggets for several years, Mudiay did not get effective training. This guy's defense and shooting are not much better than those in college.

But the strange thing is that Mudia's accuracy in shooting practice is actually very good, second only to Yiyang, and much more stable than Kuzma and even Mitchell. In the game, Mudiay would lose his sight.

Mudiay's shooting has been taught by Yiyang since he was a child. When he arrived at Butler University, that shooting coach was the master who saved Yiyang back. Mudiay's shooting is also very beautiful, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems.

After thinking about it, Brickley and Yiyang reached a consensus. Mudiay’s problem is not in the shooting itself, but in the shot selection!

"Hesitate when it's time to shoot, and make a strong shot when it shouldn't. It's only a ghost if it's efficient to play this way." Seeing Mudiay's frequent one-on-one defeats, Yiyang and Brickley both shook their heads.

The same problem also appeared in Mitchell and Kuzma. Although they are not as extreme as Mudiay, it is clear that the field of vision is still narrower. If Yiyang, the tactician master, can help this group of young people solve this problem, then these young people of the Mavericks will definitely be a blockbuster next season!

"Several of them need to improve their off-ball running, consciousness and vision, otherwise they will just be a rookie."

"But they were rookies." Brickley spread his hands.

"No, I need to make them different. Otherwise, we can't fight the Warriors!" Yiyang clenched his fists, but don't think that this harsh guy will lower the standard for rookies. Everyone here in Yiyang is treated equally.

So on the fifth day of training camp, Brickley cancelled one-on-one training. After everyone's special training every day, Brickley arranged for them a fast-break practice of 3 on 2. Mudiay, Mitchell and Kuzma played against Yiyang and Gobert.

"3 on 2?" Kuzma was both excited and nervous when he heard this exercise for the first time. Yiyang is the only pure point guard to win the best defensive player award after Payton, and Gobert was second in the best defensive player vote last season. It must be very interesting to play against these two people! But it is also possible that they will lose decently.

"Yes, 3 play 2, fast break practice. Offensive and defensive alternately, a group of 10 balls, then offensive and defensive exchanges. Let's see, in 10 goals, how many points you can score."

Brickley is worthy of being a well-known trainer. Such practice has a very good effect on mobilizing the enthusiasm of rookies. Seeing the three guys gearing up, Brickley knew that he was going to have a good show!

Training was quickly organized. Kuzma served from the bottom line, and Yiyang and Gobert began to deploy at the midfield line to simulate the scene of the fast break.

After receiving the basketball, Mudiay accelerated directly to the rim, and there was no rookie Mitchell and Kuzma in his eyes.

In this way, his emergency stop jumper from the mid-range position was flew out by Yiyang fan, and the first offense failed!

For the second time, Mitchell went inside. It stands to reason that they had a lot of gaps between 3 and 2, but Mitchell insisted on killing the basket.

As everyone knows, Gobert easily used his own height to complete the block, and failed two consecutive attacks!

For the third time, Kuzma made a jump shot outside the three-point line and the basketball knocked out. Yiyang shook his head. Such a shot was too impatient and unnecessary. With Kuzma's physical condition, he should shoot closer to the basket.

Mudiay, Kuzma and Mitchell’s offense is out of order, and they are not failing to pass the ball to each other, but unable to make effective passes. Passes that can't tear off the defense but just reverse each other's hands are actually meaningless.

Mudiay finished a set of 10 goals and only scored two poor ones. These two, in Brikley's words, were still blind cats and dead mice.

After that, it was time for Yiyang and Gobert's performances. The tacit cooperation of Yiyang and Gobert made the three rookies overwhelmed. With several balls, Yiyang just passed the ball in the half, and he could assist Gobert to score a dunk easily.

"This is not fair, your height is too scary!" Kuzma complained, he simply couldn't prevent a center like Gobert.

"Oh? Is it just because of the height? Okay, Kyle. Next round, Moody will play with me!"

"Okay! We are sure to win!" Kuzma was overjoyed when he heard that he was going to team up with Gobert. The two guards couldn't resist Gobert's destruction at all.

However, Mitchell and Kuzma found that they could not comfortably feed the ball to Gobert. It's either early or late. It is also difficult for Gobert to cooperate with the two, because the two little guys are a little slow in running without the ball.

With an absolute height advantage, Yiyang and Mudiay played three of them 10 to 4, 4 of which were shot by Gobert's height.

After Mudiay and Yiyang were in the group, they had a completely different experience from just now. Yiyang's pass will be able to arrive as long as he has an open space. No longer shooting defensively, Mudiay's offensive efficiency is also much higher.

Why do you struggle more and more? Mudiay seems to have found some reason.

"Who else wants to try? Mitchell, this time you will be with me. I believe that when you were training in Paul’s training camp, he told you what it means to run without the ball. You have to take you What you have learned can be used in actual combat. This does not mean that you are not qualified to attack with the ball, but it means that you will get more and easier scoring opportunities!"

Mitchell nodded thoughtfully, and then played a wave of devastating 10 to 3 with Yiyang. Among them, 7 goals came from Mitchell!

Finally, it was Kuzma's turn. Kuzma learned well. With the examples of Mudiay and Mitchell, Kuzma finally learned the importance of running without the ball. The offense is not about throwing the ball indiscriminately, but needs to go through layers of cooperation. The one who can win the game by throwing the ball is Kobe.

Kuzma's performance is gratifying, you really can't believe that he is actually a rookie with the 27th overall pick. Yiyang feels that with Kuzma's strength, there is no problem in entering the lottery area. Perhaps this is the sadness of older rookies. As long as you have been in college for four years~www.novelmtl.com~, you are already inferior to others. Facts have proved that such judgments are biased.

Kuzma and Yiyang searched for gaps by running without the ball and scored 8. Yiyang used practical actions to tell everyone that the offense depends on more than just height. Even if there is no height, as long as you cooperate properly, you can still complete the offense.

Finally, Gobert returned and the three rookies teamed up again.

After Yiyang's "education", these three people finally had some simple cooperation. Although they are still immature, the three youngsters have undoubtedly improved a lot compared to only knowing to take the ball and do it by themselves.

A Mudiay who doesn't shoot randomly, Mitchell who can attack without the ball and Kuzma who knows when to attack and when to pass. Although the three youngsters still did not win Yiyang, this time, they can already score 6 goals in 10 rounds!

"God, where did you get these guys." Brickley watched in disbelief what happened on the court. Of the three rookies, one was selected at No. 13 because of the Mavericks' chips and the other After four years of playing in college, he was despised, and one was given up by the team because he played worse and worse. From the perspective of ordinary people, they are all players with little prospects.

But when they arrived at Yiyang, they all turned waste into treasure. The speed of their progress is simply jaw-dropping. This is not because of how well Yiyang teaches, but because the talents of the three of them are terrible! As long as the guidance is obtained, the future is unlimited!

If you continue to practice like this, Brickley is sure. When the new season starts in October, these three people will really no longer be ordinary rookies.

Those who are still complaining about the Mavericks signings are not strong enough, get ready to fall through! (https:)
