Chapter 213 Meeting the Warriors
In a short while, the players were divided into two teams under the assignment of the coaching staff.Immediately, the training match started directly, and Yang Ke was facing off against Mills, who was picked up by Popovich from somewhere not long ago.

Mills has played in the top European basketball leagues for several seasons. He has a good overall view and can pass the ball with one hand. He is good enough to be a backup point guard for most teams in the NBA.

But Mills has very obvious flaws, lack of height and strength, which caused his common disadvantages in both offensive and defensive matchups.

Faced with such a defensive player, Yang Ke played very easily. Relying on his speed and skill advantages, he succeeded in singles against Mills again and again.

In this case, Mills' side unconsciously focused their defensive attention on Yang Ke, thus relaxing their defense against others.And Yang Ke is not greedy for merit, and often passes the ball to his teammates after attracting attention.

"It worked well."

Seeing this, Borrego nodded in satisfaction.Outstanding shooting ability, speed to take the lead, excellent dribbling skills, and the superposition of several special skills seem to make Yang Ke on the court a magnet.

He attracts the opponent's defense all the time, urges the defensive side to give him special care on the offensive end, and actively pulls and creates space for his teammates.It can be said that it perfectly fits the newly researched singles tactical system.

"Not very safe."

Popovich frowned slightly. Such a set of tactics undoubtedly put all the treasures on Yang Ke.Once the opponent restricts Yang Ke tightly, the team's game that night will most likely be suspended.

"It's the best way out right now."

Borrego shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Since the Spurs have long emphasized team basketball, this is the first time such a singles tactic has appeared. It is normal for their experienced coaching staff to feel dissatisfied for a while.

But the Spurs can only do this now. The absence of Duncan and Parker due to injuries is doomed to the previous sophisticated teamwork, which is difficult to appear in a short period of time.

Regardless of the fact that the team has a lot of players available, there are only two who are capable of reassuring Popovich to hand over the ball, Ginobili and Yang Ke.The former is not young after all, in order to ensure that he will not follow suit and get injured, such an important task can only be entrusted to the latter who is still a rookie.

At this time, Yang Ke completed a beautiful pig and dog. After talking about it, Popovich nodded and asked: "Old guy, do you think Yang is suitable for a general or a handsome talent?"

"..."

Borrego lowered his head slightly, groped his chin with his right hand, and began to think seriously.He knew very well that the general talent and handsome talent that Popovich talked about were nothing more than the paths taken by the two current epic superstars in the league.

Kobe and James!

In the eyes of almost all coaches in the league, Kobe's path is to be a general.Utilizing the invincible sharp weapon in his hand, he rushes forward bravely to the opponent, trying to cause the greatest damage.

And relying on the threat created by itself, let the defense passively or actively focus on itself.Thereby reducing the defense faced by teammates, allowing them to play comfortably, and the shooting rate will naturally increase.

I played well, and my teammates scored the goals that should be scored. How can I not win? But because of this, it is conceivable how poor the Lakers' record would be without Kobe.

And James, of course, is a handsome talent. He is sophisticated and calm on the court, strategizing, and actively gives opportunities to his teammates so that they can play freely.

Such a team will always be greedy for advantages every step of the way in the game, and its performance will not be too fluctuating.But just because the game is too stable, sometimes it will be taken away by a wave of passionate and reckless play.

Combining the past experience with Yang Ke, after a moment of silence, Borrego said slowly: "Yang is more suitable for a handsome talent, he has the natural humility of an Asian."

"Indeed!"

Nodding, Popovich echoed.Yang Ke, like Leonard, is silent and low-key.When necessary, he will indeed stand up to turn the tide, but more often he will completely integrate into the team and become that extremely important but easily overlooked link.

"But what we need now is a general."

Borrego's eyes flashed. With the current situation of the team, an invincible and invincible general can stabilize the situation.

Therefore, the Spurs coaching staff will work overtime based on Yang Ke's situation and launch a whole new set of singles tactics to push Yang Ke to the road of general talent.And once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change it later.

"Don't jump to conclusions."

Squinting his eyes slightly, remembering Yang Ke's unreasonable quick three-pointer, Popovich raised his mouth slightly, and said expectantly, "Perhaps, Yang can start a new era and embark on a brand new path! Of course, the premise is It's him who has to make sure of his own health."

Borrego was surprised at first, he didn't expect Popovich to have such a high evaluation of Yang Ke, but then he frowned and said in doubt: "Why do I seem to have heard you say this? "

Turning around, Popovich smiled: "Well, I did say that. And the protagonist in that time is our opponent tonight, the main guard of the Golden State Warriors..."

"Stephen Curry!"

…………

The night fell quietly without anyone's awareness. The AT&T Center arena at the Spurs' home court was brightly lit, and fans were entering the arena in an orderly manner amidst the noise.Tonight, the Spurs will sit at home and welcome the challenge of the Warriors.

"Yang, hello!"

During the warm-up time before the game, Curry, wearing No. 30 training uniform, walked up to Yang Ke with a smile on his immature face, and stretched out his right hand actively.

"Oh! Hello, Curry!"

When the warm-up was interrupted, Yang Ke was taken aback for a moment.After reacting, he immediately stretched out his hand and shook it, looked him up and down, "Are you coming back tonight?"

"Ok!"

Letting go of his slightly clenched right hand, Curry nodded with a smile.Since entering the league, he has been suffering from various minor injuries and missed many games intermittently. The Warriors management was even worried about this for a while.

"Your quick threes are great!"

Although he has just returned from injury, Curry has been looking forward to this game for a long time. Both Yang Ke and him have a famous quick three-pointer, so he has long had the idea of ​​​​competing in the game.

Without giving Yang Ke a chance to say polite words, Curry, who was full of fighting spirit, said directly: "However, my quick three-pointer is not weak. How about it, are you interested in making gestures in the game? "

"Of course!"

Yang Ke smiled and agreed, Curry is not provocative, at most he only sees Liexin happy.Yang Ke himself is not. Both of them are smart people, and neither will intentionally affect the game, so there is no reason to refuse.
