NBA villain

Chapter 144 Prelude
Miami, American Airlines Arena.

With a stern face, Yang Di continued to perform small step adjustment training on the jumping ladder.

George, the trainer next to him, applauded Yang Di to find the rhythm, and shouted loudly to encourage him: "Beautiful movement, go faster!"

"OK~"

George pressed the stopwatch and gave Yang Di an appreciative glance, "It's a little faster, Yang."

"Really?" Yang Di was triumphant, wiped the sweat off his face, and then sat on the stool in the rest area next to him to rest.

"Your progress is really fast, how did you do it. It's hard to imagine that last summer, you were just a rookie who was often beaten by me." Wade, who only wore a vest, sat on Yang On Di's side, there is even more sinew and flesh all over his body.

"No, no, Dwyane, what you said is wrong." Yang Di twisted his neck and said with a smile: "If I were to fight you one-on-one now, I would still be blown up by you. This is nothing compared to last summer. What difference and change."

"..." Wade was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "No, you understand what I mean, I mean, your progress in other areas is not about heads-up."

"Ok."

Wade took the white towel thrown to him by the staff and distributed one to Yang Di.

Yang Di shook the white towel. This towel was specially made. Even if they grabbed it with their big hands, they couldn't pinch it completely. Yang Di wiped the sweat from his body, and then put the towel on his shoulders, casually Especially like the workers who just repaired the arena.

Just a hard hat.

"Dwyane, I think you are very likely to win the best rookie, I have such a hunch." Yang Di said to Wade in a spirited manner.

Wade shook his head, he didn't believe it, "It's too difficult, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James have better statistics than me."

"But their record is not as good as ours?" Yang Di felt that if his head coach were to vote for Wade, this guy would become crazier at critical moments and always have a big heart.

"In terms of record, I am indeed the best. When the NBA votes for the best rookie, it always looks at the data." A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Wade's eyes. He felt that if he did it himself, he could score. More than James or Anthony, but the Heat have many players who can score. The average shots per game of Odom and Eddie Jones are only a little lower than their own.

"That's right." Wade wiped the sweat off his face and smiled: "Yang, in the newspapers these days, you have been selected for the All-Rookie Team."

At the end of the 82 regular season games, Yang Di played full time, all as substitutes, averaging 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.1 steals in 0.6 minutes per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 63 percent.Among them, the shooting percentage is actually the highest in the league, 2 percentage points higher than the No.4 Shaquille O'Neal.

"Anyway, there is a statistic that ranks first in the league, and it must be the rookie first team." Wade thinks that Yang Di is really good. If he hadn't tried a lot of mid-range shots and other offensive methods in the last month, Yang Di's shooting percentage might not be high. It needs to be high, because when he started, he basically had one offensive method-slam dunk.

"Chris Bosh, and Chris Kaman who became the starter..." Yang Di counted the inside line, and it seems that there are not many rookies who can be competitive.

"The problem is that when voting, I didn't vote according to the five positions." Yang Di spread his hands. When voting for the best rookie lineup, the head coach chose two lineups according to his own opinion. Players in the first lineup can get 2 points, players in the second lineup can get 1 point, and finally the first and second teams are ranked according to the score.

Wade scratched his head and patted Yang Di on the shoulder: "In a word, you are absolutely possible, and Udonis, I feel that you two can definitely enter the recent lineup, even if you don't, but in my heart, you two The two are still the best, the best insiders in this class."

Wade's tone was very sincere, and Yang Di was very moved after hearing it.

Every year, the playoffs will be a wider stage than the regular season.

At the same time, the playoffs are also a good time for players to prove themselves and greatly increase their worth. Many players, because they played an excellent round of playoffs, can surpass players who performed much better than him in the regular season, and finally get big contracts.

This is a battlefield where 16 teams aspiring to win the championship are fighting, and the smoke is everywhere.

Now that the NCAA has just ended, the NBA is a good time to attract the attention of basketball fans. It is also a long-term marketing strategy of the NBA to connect and win greater attention.

At the same time, the league headquarters also hurriedly made the promotional video before the start of the playoffs.

The background music of the promotional video "Whycan'tI" is cadenced, and when the climax suddenly rises, various scenes of regular season dunks are interspersed, including the scene of Yang Di angrily dunking Bosh under the basket not long ago , and then there is Yang Di's lob with Eddie Jones in Detroit for a slam dunk.

He only had two shots, which passed by in a flash. The league mainly focused on promoting giant teams like the Lakers. Kobe's shots appeared five times, and O'Neal's shots were even more, so no effort was spared in the promotion.

Miami's schedule is scheduled for the second day of the playoffs, because the record leads the Hornets, the first and second games are held in Miami, and the Heat have home court advantage.

"The playoffs are rare, and I brought my family here. Brother, do you want to cut your tickets?" After training, Michael Curry proudly took a stack of tickets and shook them in his hands. It looks like a real scalper.

Yang Di smiled, "No, I bought it two days ago. I bought it at an internal discount. I asked Pat Riley to buy it, and then I gave it to my friend. You know, I'm in Miami. Not many friends."

"I don't have many friends in Miami, so you can take them with you!" Michael said helplessly: "Yang, you are a rich man with an annual salary of several million, and you can't spend a lot of money."

Yang Di's face darkened, and he immediately denied, "No, what I mean is, I don't have many family and friends in the United States. I have a few friends before, and I have called and asked them. If I have time, I basically call It's up, and those who can't come will definitely have no time to leave."

"Don't you still have a girlfriend, bring her along." Michael said with a smirk.

Yang Di smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, she doesn't have time, you know, as an actor, once the schedule is in, it's basically hard to see her."

"Tsk tsk, that's really a pity, but as long as we get to the next round, then the Eastern Conference finals, the finals... there will be more opportunities." Michael looked full of confidence.

Yang Di rolled his eyes, if it wasn't for your name being Curry or Jordan, I would have believed it.
