I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 53 Hot Las Vegas Summer League
After a week of devil training, although the players complained endlessly, they did receive miraculous results in a short period of time. From being unfamiliar with each other, they have now been able to run tactics correctly, and from time to time they can also play some small tacit cooperation. I have to admire the beautiful coach's coaching method is indeed very good.

After a week of training, on July 7th, BJ time, Li Yang and his group boarded a flight to Las Vegas, the casino city.

There are now three events officially recognized by the NBA: the Salt Lake City Summer League, the Sacramento Summer League (also known as the "California Classic") and the Las Vegas Summer League. These three events add up to form the NBA Summer League.

This year's Las Vegas Summer League will be the first time in history that all 30 teams will participate. Starting from July 7, each team will have three preliminaries. According to the records of each team, the league will perform seed rankings, and then enter the championship stage, and start the championship competition on July 7, and finally decide the champion.

Summer League rules are somewhat different from the NBA regular season.For example, the game is divided into 4 quarters, each quarter is only 10 minutes, halftime is 8 minutes, the player is sent off after receiving the 10th foul, and the first overtime is only 2 minutes...

Those undrafted and fringe players will actively join the summer league. Many undrafted and fringe players get a formal NBA contract by virtue of their outstanding performance in the summer league.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the professional arena in advance, the rookies also joined the summer league one after another, using this platform to complete the running-in of the professional arena.

July 7 at 6:8 p.m. local time in the United States.The arenas in Las Vegas are already full.

Las Vegas, a gambling city located in the Nevada desert, has become a dream tourist destination for many people all over the world after decades of operation and accumulation.

There are a lot of tourists here in Las Vegas, and the tourists have always been obsessed with the global NBA game, so the atmosphere at the game site is extremely hot.

It is said that the owner of the Las Vegas casino has the idea of ​​forming a basketball team. A team can attract more fans and players to spend for him, which will also indirectly drive the business of his casino.

Although the Summer League is not as big as the NBA regular season, there are also many NBA rookies, including some popular lottery picks.

The first opponent of the Los Angeles Clippers is the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors announced their summer league lineup on the 28th.

The most noteworthy person among them is Jordan Bell. Those who dare to call Jordan generally have two brushes. He is the No. 2017 pick in 38. He serves as a power forward. He has excellent athletic ability, outstanding explosiveness and jumping, and is good at rebounding.Of course, there are also obvious weaknesses, that is, the lack of offensive technology and insufficient strength.

He has been able to obtain a stable rotation time in the Warriors in the past season, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The second is Damian Jones, the No. 2016 pick in 30. He serves as a center. It is said that he is very good at mid-range shots, but he often loses concentration on the court. Therefore, he has played for the Warriors for two seasons, but his performance is not as good as Bell.

The third is the small forward Jacob Evans, who was just selected by the Warriors this year. He is 1 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is a tough wing player with extremely stable defense and a role player with great potential.

The last one is Li Yang's hometown, Abdul Saramu. Although he lost this year, he was invited by the Warriors to participate in the summer league and show his ability on the international stage.

The Clippers' No. 11 pick Alexander and No. 13 pick Li Yang faced off against Warriors' No. 28 pick Jacob Evans. From the perspective of the rookie row, it seemed that there was no suspense. However, the Warriors have experienced second-year rookie Bell.

However, the fans and reporters didn't focus on this at all. What they were interested in was how Li Yang performed, whether he was a parallel importer, and whether the magic of the logo man could continue.

The media's attention to this game also surpassed other games today.

Li Yang is one of the rookies with the most clicks on news topics after the draft. Reporting on his games may uncover a lot of different news.

During the warm-up, Li Yang knew something about other teammates because of the one-week training camp, so Li Yang instinctively felt a little strange, yes, the eyes of each teammate were very hot, no, this is the rhythm of a group of demons dancing wildly, I hope this is an illusion.

What tactics can we use now?
Taking the ball and doing it yourself is a tactic!
Li Yang felt that Natalie's tactical arrangements might not be needed.

Didn't you see the fiery eyes of your teammates? It is estimated that every player has his own ideas.

After warming up, Li Yang came to the sidelines to be interviewed by reporters.

The reporter asked: "Yang, are you looking forward to this game?"

Li Yang replied: "Fortunately, I have nothing to do with the other party, just be yourself."

The reporter was a little speechless, such an answer blocked his interview.

After a simple warm-up, the players from both sides walked to the center of the court.

The Warriors' starting lineup is center Damian Jones, power forward Jordan Bell, small forward Jacob Evans, point guard Josh Maggette, and shooting guard Kendrick Nunn.

The jumper was Grant Gerrett of the Clippers and Damian Jones of the Warriors.

"beep!"

The referee whistled, and with the cheers of the audience on both sides, the much-anticipated game finally kicked off.

With a bang, Damian Jones and Grant Gerrett jumped up almost in unison.

"Snap!" Jones finally, with his excellent jumping, used his thick arms to slam the ball to teammate Josh Maggette, a small white defender with a height of 1 meters.

However, Alexander's defensive speed was very fast, which blocked his fast break, so he could only slow down to reorganize the offense, and passed the ball to the open teammate Kendrick Nunn.

Seeing Nunn taking the ball, Li Yang rushed forward, opened his hands, and fixed his eyes on Nunn's shoulders. He is not weaker than the opponent in terms of height and arm length. No matter how Nunn makes fake dribbling moves, he just doesn't jump, which makes Nunn very depressed. He has no choice but to pass the ball to Damian Jones under the basket.

Opposing Jones was the Clippers' center Grant Gerrett. Without any hesitation, Jones directly chose Jerrett for post-up singles.

Jones dribbled the ball back a few times and found that the top was not moving, so he turned around suddenly, pulled it up and shot.The ball flew out of his hand, and Gerrett jumped hard, but he still couldn't touch the ball after all, and could only watch the basketball arc through the air and fly into the net.

"Shua!" The Warriors went down first.

With the Clippers' possession of the ball, Alexander quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although the head coach of the Warriors emphasized to everyone how accurate Li Yang's open three-pointer was in this game, everyone didn't care because it was just an open three-pointer after all.

But this round, Li Yang ran back outside after giving Alexander a pick-and-roll. After receiving a pass from Alexander, he made a false shot and sent off Josh Maggette who was defending him.

Li Yang hit the first three-pointer in his Clippers career, and also the first goal in his NBA Summer League career. There was no too complicated tactics, nor too strong personal ability. This first goal came so fast, but at the same time it was extremely natural.

Seeing Li Yang's Deng Ge-style step-back maneuver at the beginning of the game, the fans at the scene burst into cheers!

In the first round, Li Yang showed a style of play in line with his own technical characteristics, without any hesitation in his shots.

"Li Yang's three-pointer is very sharp, and his technical movements are very smooth, which has the shadow of Harden, and his movements are more elegant!" A commentator at the scene said excitedly.

In the next round, although Maggette once again used Jones' pick-and-roll to throw off Alexander's defense, and then made a mid-range shot from horseback archery.

At the moment of the shot, after Alexander bypassed Jones' defense, with amazing explosive power, he caught up with Maggette abruptly, jumped from behind Maggette, and interfered with Maggette's shooting in time.

"Bang Dang!" The basketball smashed out of the frame, and Gerrett took advantage of the opportunity to accept the backcourt rebound, and then passed the ball to the defender under great pressure.

Second round.

Alexander dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he gave the ball to Li Yang after halftime.

After all, Li Yang is the tactical focus emphasized by the coach. In the first game of the Clippers, these players should be more obedient no matter what, otherwise they may not have the opportunity to appear in the future.

After Li Yang received the ball, he shot a super long three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line! ! !
The basketball flew out with precision like a cannonball.

"Shua!!" The basketball hit the net again.

Although Li Yang doesn't really like this way of playing, but who gave him this super long three-pointer ability, which saves time and effort, isn't it good?

Although everyone knows that Li Yang's three-pointer is very accurate, knowing it and being able to defend it are two different things.

The confrontation intensity provided by the players here is very average for Li Yang.

Although his shots interfered, he still scored easily with his personal ability.

Li Yang knows his strength, these are just routine operations, he hasn't exerted much force yet, but these fans and reporters don't know.

"Wow!!"

"Beautiful step-back three!!!"

"nice shot!!!"

"It's so cool..."

Li Yang felt that he enjoyed the unusually strong cheers at the scene, and he celebrated with his arms outstretched.

　Some things can be changed without hard work. No matter how handsome you are, you will not be as attractive as RMB.
