Chapter 121 The Biggest Difference

After throwing a few balls, Yang Ke walked off the field to make way for the starting teammates to warm up. Then he walked to the VIP seat on the sidelines and sat next to Chris, who was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Looking at Yang Ke who was wearing a training uniform, Chris frowned and asked, "Are you a substitute again today?"

"Well, this season, as long as there are no special circumstances, I will basically come off the bench." Nodding, Yang Ke said calmly. For now, he doesn't care about whether he starts.

Moreover, Popovich also talked to him specifically about this matter, saying that Yang Ke should be used as the core of the substitute lineup to ensure the power and stability of the substitute at both ends of the offense and defense.

"That's it, then why did Leonard start several games in a row? His offensive skills are less than yours, and his defense is not as flexible as yours. It can be said that he is not as strong as you."

Glancing at Leonard, who was still focused on shooting and warming up, Chris, who knew basketball, raised his own doubts.

"Leonard's physical condition is very good, his defense is tough, and he is not at a disadvantage against most small forwards in the league. In addition, there are enough offensive players in the starting lineup, what is lacking is his defensive sharp knife. "

Yang Ke said slowly, the extremely high golf quotient made him see clearly that Leonard is more suitable for the Spurs' starting lineup than him.After a pause, Yang Ke continued, "Furthermore, Leonard has worked very hard and has made remarkable progress in all aspects. Maybe I can only be stronger than him temporarily."

"Yang, don't underestimate yourself. Since entering the NBA, your progress has been leaps and bounds, much more obvious than Leonard."

Chris smiled and shook his head. He likes Yang Ke's modesty and courtesy, but it doesn't mean he can't see Yang Ke's true level.

Smiling, Yang Ke didn't intend to continue on this, so he asked naturally: "Chris, are you free to come to the arena to watch the ball at this time? Emma, ​​you don't need to deal with it?"

Squinting his eyes, thinking of Emma and her new boyfriend, Chris was not very happy. He smacked his lips and said, "She has no shooting tasks today. As for other aspects of the itinerary, there are professionals in charge. I don't want to see them either, so I just took a short vacation for myself."

Out of sight, out of mind, with a smile in his eyes, Yang Ke saw such a sentence from Chris, smiled, Yang Ke stretched out his right hand and patted Chris on the shoulder: "Chris, wait for me to compete After it's over, let's go have a good drink and chat."

With a flash in front of his eyes, Chris looked at Yang Ke unexpectedly, and asked subconsciously: "Huh? Drink?"

"Of course not, coffee and drinks are fine."

"Wow, man, that's no fun!"

…………

In the NBA's 2011-12 season, the Cavaliers were given high expectations by the outside media and fans, just because James, the darling of heaven, brought his talent to Miami.

The Cavaliers signed the talented Irving with the No. [-] pick through the draft, and it seems that the talent has returned to the Cavaliers.In this case, the boss of the Cavaliers even clamored that the Cavaliers will win the championship before the Heat.

Since the Cavaliers had a good record in the first month of the game, the game between the Spurs and the Cavaliers was not only broadcast live by the three major TV stations, but many Cleveland fans even followed the team to watch the game.

Although almost everyone knew before the game that the Cavaliers lineup would not be able to defeat the Spurs, but what surprised them was that facing the old Spurs, the Cavaliers were pinned to the ground and ruthlessly ravaged like a child!
And Irving, who was expected by everyone, was strangled by Leonard in the same grade, and he completely lost his bravery in the previous games.

In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the Cavaliers by 18 points, creating the record for the largest difference in the first quarter of the season. The game seems to have a tendency to change.

"Yang, Ginobili, you lead the team up and increase the score for me. I need the game to lose suspense as soon as possible so that you can enter the rhythm of rest."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Popovich waved his hand, went straight up and down, and changed the lineup to: Yang, Ginobili, Jefferson, Bonner, Blair, and even aimed specifically at Yang Ke and Ginobili asked.

Since the next game will be two consecutive away games in Texas, and the Rockets and Mavericks are both strong teams in the league, it is obvious that playing against them will be a very difficult battle, so Yang Ke and Ginobili both understand that The importance of getting into a resting rhythm.

At the referee's whistle, Yang Ke and Ginobili walked onto the court side by side, and they also saw the opposite Cavaliers' lineup.Irving, Alonzo Key, Anthony Parker, Hudson, Tristan Thompson.

With a lineup of three main players and two substitutes, the team's new core Irving stayed on the court.Yang Ke knew very well that the Cavaliers wanted to take the opportunity to increase the score. After all, in their eyes, the substitute must be much weaker than the main force.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Yang Ke said slowly: "It seems that the difference of [-] points does not make them choose to give up resistance."

Ginobili curled his lips and said casually: "Eighteen points won't work, that's 28 points. They will eventually choose to give up resistance."

"..."

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers had the ball, and Irving unsurprisingly controlled the ball and pushed down the frontcourt. Just as Irving took his position, the other four Cavaliers players dispersed instantly.

The Cavaliers' style of play this season is completely different from the previous seasons. Due to various reasons, their offense is very chaotic. For the time being, they mainly focus on singles, supplemented by some basic pick-and-roll offenses.

Controlling the ball, Owen looked vigilantly at Yang Ke who was in a defensive posture in front of him. Through various channels, he clearly knew that Yang Ke was a defensive gate that was not weaker than Leonard.

The biggest difference between the two on the defensive end is their completely different styles. Leonard stands out for his physical fitness and tough entanglement, while Yang Ke is valued by his opponents for his defensive prediction and quick response. .

call!
Taking a deep breath, seeing his teammates have opened up the space, Irving bent down, lowered his center of gravity, his arms shook quickly, and the basketball seemed to come alive in his hands, very flexible.

In Irving's view, compared to Leonard's defensive style, Yang Ke's defense is easier for him to deal with. He is very confident in his ball-handling skills and speed.

boom!
With a sudden and intensified slap, Owen started. Knowing that Yang Ke's defense is very strong, Owen's eyes have been looking at him and his attention is very focused.Under careful handling, Owen finally took the first step of his breakthrough, and the pull was very large.

　The added chapter is finally finished, it's time to sleep, good night.
