Chapter 31 Enlightenment

If the teammate is James, there must be a chance.

Ling Bo did not give up. Iverson's classic dribbling and his unique Lingbo microsteps allowed him to quickly get rid of James' defense.After entering the three-point line, Ling Bo made a man-ball strike again, passed two people in a row, and scored a layup.

Then Limbo wrapped his hands with internal force, completed a steal from Ira Newbell, launched a fast break, and assisted Eric Williams to complete a double-handed dunk.

16 to 25, Ling Bo used his personal ability and cooperated with his teammates to narrow the point difference to double digits.

Ling Bo strengthened his defense against James, which made the offense of the starting players not so smooth. When LeBron didn't have a chance to make a move, his teammates' offensive ability weakened a lot.

Having said that, Big Z is almost 11-on-[-] inside, so Boozer has more opportunities. After receiving a pass from Miles, Boozer made a small hook and opened the score again. to [-] points.

You come and go, exhilarating, Ling Bo single-handedly entered the enemy camp, surrounded by three enemy soldiers, unexpectedly he stepped back and made a jump shot, scoring easily.

Then Ling Bo retreated non-stop, at the top of the arc, and when LeBron arrived, Miles made a pick-and-roll, forming a misplaced defense, and James easily blasted the basket again.

Kevin Ollie was in control of the ball. Limbo kept running for the ball, but he ignored it. In desperation, Limbo had to lie in ambush at the bottom corner and wait for the opportunity.

As a result, this scene was in the eyes of head coach Paul Silas, who shouted at Limbo: "Run, keep running."

"Why are you standing, is that your position?"

Ling Bo was so angry, I ran away, are you blind, did he give me the ball?

The helpless Lingbo can only continue to run, even if he can't catch the ball, it is good to create opportunities for his teammates, but Kevin Ollie's ball intelligence is really limited, a pass error, Tony Batty did not receive it, the ball went out sideline.

The loss of the ball made the already lagging substitute team worse.

The head coach shouted again on the scene: "Defense, zone defense."

The starting team used their height to keep moving the ball on the line, because Limbo and Kevin Ollie on the outside were only 188cm tall.

In a pass from Miles back to LeBron, Lingbo's inner force gathered the soles of his feet, and Lingbo jumped out with a small step, abruptly cutting the basketball out of the air.

Ling Bo ran alone with the ball, and James was in front of Ling Bo because he started early before stealing the ball, forming a one-on-one frontcourt.

They were followed by Kevin Ollie and Ira Newbell, who came to defend.

When he came to the three-point line, Ling Bo glanced back, just in time to see Kevin Ollie's position, and a back pass came.

The basketball hit the ground just in front of him, and as long as he caught the ball, he could score a layup, but Kevin Ollie took a step forward, and the basketball happened to be taken by Newbell.

Ling Bo vomited blood in his heart, retreated, and said to Kevin Ollie, "Can you play?"

Kevin Ollie ignored Limbo. In his opinion, this was just a training match, and it didn't matter whether he won or lost. But for Limbo, it was a match to prove himself and impress his teammates and coaching staff. .

Kevin Ollie was afraid that Ling Bo would share his playing time, so he did so on purpose. He also turned a blind eye to Ling Bo's questioning. In this way, in the eyes of the head coach, it was Ling Bo's narrow-mindedness and his teammate's time. Mistakes are not forgiven by him.

After the starting team scored the goal, Ling Bo was completely angry. Although James kept telling Ling Bo to control his emotions during the matchup, Ling Bo couldn't listen to it now.

What is competition, competition is the decision at that moment when the blood surges, the heroism at that moment. (Note 1)

When Ling Bo's adrenaline and hormones are rising and excessively secreted, Ling Bo at this moment is the heroism of the game.

He hates losing, he wants to win, even if it's just a scrim.

Limbo completely glanced aside Kevin Ollie, didn't give him the ball at all, either dribbled the ball himself, or passed the ball to Eric Williams, Tony Batty and Diop.

Although Ling Bo tried his best, the team's overall strength was too different, and the point difference was too large. In the end, the substitute team lost to the starting team by 4 points.

All the players gathered, and the head coach began to give a concluding speech to the training game.

Generally praised the overall performance of the starting team, especially James' all-around performance, with 12 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block.

When it was the substitute team's turn, Paul Silas' face sank, and Kevin Ollie was the first to criticize, saying that he was not focused on the game, and then, and then it was gone!
This.
He also simply commented on the performance of others, pointing out the shortcomings.

It's Ling Bo's turn.

"Ling, to be honest, I'm very disappointed with your performance. Could it be that the media have overhyped you?"

凌波一脸懵逼，16分3助攻1篮板2抢断1盖帽，这数据还不够？还说我飘了？
Paul Silas continued to say righteously: "It doesn't matter how strong your personal ability is, you remember that you are a point guard, why don't you pass the ball to your teammates, my team does not welcome selfish people."

"And on the defensive end, you can be more active. Kevin Ollie is not tall enough. You can help him defend, but you didn't do that."

To sum up, Paul Silas's Limbo is that he plays alone, selfish, and has poor defensive awareness.

Ling Bo said lightly: "Coach, my height is only 188."

Paul Silas glared at Limbo: "When I summarize in the future, you just need to listen."

Well, now there is another contradicting coach who doesn't obey orders.

After the team disbanded, Ling Bo threw the towel draped over his shoulders violently on the ground.

Seeing this, James patted Ling Bo's shoulder, sat beside him, and said, "Ling, get used to it slowly, Paul is like this, he will point out your shortcomings, maybe the way you speak is too much. "

Ling Bo said: "I know I'm not perfect, but why did he use this tone of voice to me, but turn a blind eye to Kevin's mistakes?"

James was at a loss for words for a while, at this time Mark Osorsky came to Limbo with a smile and handed over a bottle of water.

"Do you think it's unfair? Isn't it very atmospheric? Young people, the NBA is not as simple as you think."

Ling Bo had a good impression of Mark Osorsky, took his water, calmed down, and listened to Osorsky's enlightenment.

Mark Osorsky said again: "Ling, you are a smart man, we might as well understand the head coach's words from another angle."

Ling Bo looked at Osorsky suspiciously, and asked, "How do you understand?"

Osorsky said: "First of all, the head coach is not wrong to say that you play selfishly. Don't worry, listen to me."

"As an organizational point guard, you first need to understand your responsibilities on the field. You behave more like a shooting guard. As an organizational point guard, you not only need to score, but also need to control the rhythm of the field, seize the opportunity to give the ball to the to the teammate most likely to make the shot. Do you think I'm right?"

Ling Bo agreed with this point, and said, "Mr. Mark, you are right."

Mark Osorsky added: "So, as a point guard, you have to be careful when you get the ball. When your teammates don't have a chance to make a phone call, pass the ball a few more times, and the opportunity will come naturally. One point, a very important point, let's take an example, the Nets' lineup is actually not as strong as imagined, but they made it to the finals because they have the league's top point guard Jason - Kidd."

Having said that, Ling Bo understands that a good point guard not only needs to do his job well, but also needs to drive his teammates to improve on the court, and to play data that surpasses his own. Only then can he be called an excellent guard .So the head coach said that he played alone and was selfish. In this way, it was easier for Ling Bo to accept.

Seeing that Ling Bo's expression became much more natural, Mark Osorsky knew that his enlightenment had achieved results, so he struck while the iron was hot.

He continued to say to Ling Bo: "Second point, the head coach said that you have poor defensive awareness. This is not wrong at all. First of all, without communicating with your teammates, you double-team your opponent and then miss someone. This really shouldn't be done. "

"The head coach was selected to the best defensive team twice in his player era, so he has always emphasized the importance of defense, especially when the opponent shoots a key ball. A successful defense can often help the team get out of trouble."

"Ling, your single-defense awareness is not bad, but I would like to point out one thing, that is team defense. In team defense, we often use zone defense. The common ones are two-three zone defense, three-two zone defense, etc. I know you haven't played before. I have played professional basketball, so I will be responsible for teaching you in the future."

Mark Osorsky's words made Limbo Mau suddenly realize that his usual training, training with Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, and training with LeBron, all improve his personal ability, instead of doing some team exercises .

"Thank you coach, I know what to do," Limbo told Mark Osorsky.
