I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 8 Geneva, refund the money! (For collection, for recommendation)

On the evening of July 7th, Orlando Summer League, the Magic training ground.

Today is the first day of the Orlando Summer League. In addition, this is only a secondary arena, and there are not many spectators present.

At a glance, half of the seats at the scene were empty, which meant that there were only about 500 spectators who came to watch the game.

However, even if there are fewer spectators, the game will continue as usual.

Even though not many people came, these spectators paid real money to buy tickets to watch the game.

Moreover, as part of the Orlando Summer League, today's game between the Pistons and the Bucks is also equipped with professional live commentary in order to mobilize the atmosphere of the stadium.

After a period of warm-up, the players of the two teams landed on the field one by one.

"The next one to play is this year's No. 24 pick - Huo Song, who wears the Pistons' No. [-] jersey."

Huo Songgui is the No. [-] pick, and he is at the end of the Pistons starter sequence, that is, the big axis.

However, it is also a guest in Orlando, and one of the home teams in the sub-field is the Bucks, not the Pistons.

This also means that after Huo Song's debut, the Bucks' players will appear on the court.

Marcus Hislip, Jamal Sampson, Dan Gadzuric, TJ Ford, and Bucks Summer League core Michael Reid.

"This is a bit too much!"

"Isn't the Bucks starting too high?"

"Hasn't Michael Reid already become the main force of the Bucks? Is this the summer league abuse?"

The five starters of the Pistons Summer League looked at the starters of the Bucks and couldn't help but complain.

Even Huo Song felt guilty when he saw the three big men of about 2 meters on the Bucks field.

"How can I swipe my data?"

These days, the inside line can already be used for zone defense. The Bucks have three strong men under the basket, and Huo Song doesn't even want to play low post singles.

In addition, don't even think about rebounding. Even if Huo Song drank a few bottles of Red Bull and then went to the basket to fight, he would be male on both sides, male on male, and male on male, and he would not get any benefits.

"I'm so hard!"

It's quite helpless, the first summer league game, I met a team that didn't care about football ethics.

Not to mention the three inside players, just talk about Michael Reid on the opposite side. This is a man who will soon become an All-Star guard.

When Yi Jianlian first entered the NBA, Huo Song paid attention to the Bucks.

Huo Song understands that Michael Reid can shoot suddenly and score 20 points per game, which is as simple as drinking water.

"I'm not going to be the backdrop, am I?" Michael Reed can dunk.

With such worries, Huo Song played for the first time.

Obviously his teammates played well, but Huo Song, who had just played and was still in the process of adapting, gave full play to the traditional skills of the Mamba heirs. DuangDuangDuang hit three irons in a row.

Just when Huo Song reached out to his teammates for the ball, and was about to make a fourth pitch, Herb Brown couldn't stand it and called a timeout, changed Huo Song to the sidelines, and gave him some advice.

Summer league coaches usually don't call a timeout, it depends on the players' own performance.

For an old-school coach like Herb Brown to be unable to control his emotions and call out a timeout, one can imagine how badly Huo Song performed.

"You soft bastard, you beat as soft as Shet.

I told you, play aggressively!
But why, are you the one who is anxious, afraid, and panicked?

Do you want to play or not?Go home if you don't want to fight, no one will laugh at you at home!
I'm only going to give you one more chance, if you can't do it, come on down, someone will tell you what to do!
Remember, I want to see your blood, you have to be tough for me, keep me aggressive! "

Herb Brown scolded harshly, but Huo Song could feel that it was more like hating iron but not steel.

Ever since, "If you don't listen, don't listen, just chant sutras like a bastard", Huo Song quickly adjusted his state.

After 2 minutes, Huo Song re-entered the field and soon got the ball in the low position on the left.

"No. 13, attack me! I can blow you up with just one hand!" Marcus Hislip, the No. [-] rookie in the first round last year, said so while defending Huo Song.

In Marcus Hislip's view, it is really not easy to meet a parallel importer with a higher pick than him.

For the whole last year, he was watched coldly and pointed at by others. It can be said that he was in tears all day long, and was so sad that he vomited.

But I don't want to, I can meet someone even more rubbish today, and it's still the second place in the list.

Three shots and three irons, each of which is a back hit and then retreats to a mid-range shot. Such a second place, is it too soft?
Although Marcus Hislip didn't hit it, even though the water fell, it didn't prevent him from despising Huo Song.

Now that there is hope to build happiness on the suffering of others, it is natural to rush to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, Huo Song hit back in the same way, and also took a step back, but this time because he retreated farther and retreated to the left corner, he changed the mid-range shot to a three-pointer!

Originally, Marcus Hislip looked down on Huo Song a little bit, but now he looks down even more.

Marcus Hislip has consciously watched the NBA for so many years, but he has never seen an inside player play a low back, and change it to a three-pointer with a step back.

Shouldn't it be like Barkley and O'Neal, who bulldozed people all the way to the basket, violently abused the frame, and abused wantonly?
"Three-pointers are more difficult to hit than mid-range shots. You can't even make mid-range shots, and you still want to make three-pointers? What a dream!"

Marcus Hislip was so happy that he couldn't help showing his leaky front teeth.

However, in the next second, the audience exclaimed and applauded.

Immediately afterwards, the on-site commentary added: "The Pistons ranked second, Huo Song stepped back and hit a three-pointer!"

Marcus Hislip looks back at the basket in disbelief.

But I heard the preaching of teammate TJ Ford: "No matter how bad Huo Song is, he is also the second place!
It was selected by the Pistons scouts and general manager. Are you more professional and understand the ball better than them?

In fact, Pistons scouts and general managers think he has the potential to be the No. [-] pick, as simple as that. "

TJ Ford is the No. 8 rookie in the first round of this year. He met Huo Song once. After the draft, the two even took a group photo together!

Of course, TJ Ford had no idea of ​​standing up for Huo Song.

However, it was also the first-round high-ranking pick selected by the Bucks scouts and general manager. TJ Ford believed that Marcus Hislip's water was his own reason.

And he will definitely be able to meet the pick and play at a corresponding level as expected.

At that time, TJ Ford also wants to challenge. What kind of strength does Huo Song, the No. [-] pick, have?Obviously he is already very good, why is the draft pick still higher than him?
It's impossible to help the team sell tickets because Huo Song is handsome, right?
"Going in again? All three of the mid-range shots were missed, and two of the three-pointers were hit twice?"

"Is that why the Pistons picked him second?"

"It's unbelievable! Is this Yao Ming on the three-point line?"

After Huo Song hit a three-pointer, the Bucks missed a quick break and were counterattacked by the Pistons, but Chucky Atkins made a layup and Huo Song snatched the offensive rebound.

After getting the ball, Huo Song made two steps and one step, retreated to the bottom corner like lightning, shot a cold arrow, and scored a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and fell into the net hollowly.

Seeing this, the audience immediately exclaimed, and even the Bucks players were dumbfounded.

Is this Yao Ming or Dirk Nowitzki or Larry Bird?Isn't the big man's corner three-pointer too accurate?
However, others looked stupid, but Herb Brown was not stupid.

In the next round, just as Michael Reid broke into the inside and successfully made a kill, and stood on the free throw line to prepare for a free throw, Herb Brown withdrew Huo Song again.

"You idiot, reflect on yourself below! I've already given you a chance!" Herb Brown said angrily.

Huo Song couldn't laugh or cry, and asked, "Coach, didn't I score? I scored six points in a row and helped the team overtake the score. I thought you called a timeout because you wanted to praise me!"

"Soft? I don't think I'm a softie. Didn't I help the team grab an offensive rebound?
I seem to be the only one with an offensive rebound on the team, right?
Not only did I grab an offensive rebound, but I also scored. Didn't you miss it, coach? "

Huo Song asked the question knowingly, and Herb Brown was even angrier when he heard it.

"You get the offensive rebound, why don't you just keep hitting the rim?
With your physical talent, you don't need to spend too much effort to hold the ball with both hands, just a dunk when you take off.

If someone wants to block you, you just lean on him, whether you can dunk the ball or not, you can basically draw a defensive foul.

If you dunk the ball, it will be a tough 2+1!

If it doesn't go in, the post player defending you gets a foul, and you have two free throws, why not do it? "

Herb Brown's index finger almost touched Huo Song's chest. If Herb Brown was also more than two meters tall, he might be able to poke Huo Song's nose.

In short, Herb Brown was very angry.

But Huo Song has accepted the baptism of the small ball era, and is not interested in old stubborn like Herb Brown.

Huo Song argued hard: "Two plus one can only score three points at most, I can hit a three-pointer and score a three-pointer steadily, can't I do this?
Judging by the results, I should be fine, right?
Isn't it the score that determines the outcome of a basketball game?
Michael Jordan is greater than Dennis Rodman, right? "

"Shut up, idiot, I won't let you play, study hard below!"

Herb Brown started to use the authority when he said nothing, which instantly wiped out Huo Song's previous goodwill towards Herb Brown.

Huo Song understood that he asked for all of this, but after Huo Song became the second place in the Pistons, he was not going to be a good student who would not fight or grab.

The second place in the New Year's draft, isn't he qualified to be willful?

Huo Song wanted to use Herb Brown's status as Larry Brown's brother to let Larry Brown and the Pistons management know his attitude.

Lu Xun once said: "Chinese people always like to be harmonious and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and you need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will Will come to mediate, willing to open the window."

In fact, this is not the case for foreigners.

Just talking about the league, ten years ago there was a No. [-] rookie asking for [-] million yuan, and he didn't sign a contract and didn't play.

Ten years later, a champion appointed his next buyer for the transaction.

Twenty years later, there was a champion in the playoffs who went undercover and wanted to run away and change teams. If he failed to change teams, he would not report to the team at the beginning of the new season.

But, in the end, who compromises?Not the team yet.

Huo Song is the second place in the new year's list, and his status is equivalent to the top pick. What's wrong with having a little personality?
Next, Huo Song must be looking for an opportunity to score points and shoot three-pointers.

What if Larry Brown doesn't allow it?
If Huo Song got Olajuwon's shooting bag and O'Neal's shooting bag, he would be happy to hit the basket, but isn't this condition not allowed?
So, let’s be more self-willed now, let the team and the coach make concessions to him, and then Huo Song will establish a comfort zone for himself to play, and then look at the situation and decide what action to take next.

Before coming, Huo Song had already thought about all this.

Now, it's just a matter of implementing the plan thoroughly.

In fact, it’s not bad to be on the bench. Seeing the players on the field sweating profusely, Huo Song couldn’t help asking: “Why do you still sweat when you play?”

However, when the game came to the second half, some people couldn't sit still.

"Where is Huo Song? Let Huo Song play! We sell tickets to watch Huo Song play! Let Huo Song play, we want to watch the second place play! Geneva, refund the money!"
