The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 11, Super Trailblazer.

Thinking of playing in the summer league, Xue Ding immediately found the head coach McMillan!

"Coach, I'm going to summer league!"

"No, Xue, you don't need to play in the summer league, we don't have a spot reserved for you"

"why?"

"You are the team's backup point guard for next season. What I need now is for you to practice your shooting well and prepare your physical reserves."

"It's a rookie from another team"

"Xue, listen to me. We are special. It doesn't make much sense for you to play in the summer league now. I understand your desire to compete, but please believe me."

"I've heard about the things you have been training in the training hall recently. You have a good attitude, but I still remind you, don't over-train. This summer, adjust your body well, and the next regular season will not be like this. More rest time."

Now that Roy, Aldridge, and Fernandez are recovering from their injuries, McMillan can't bear Xue Ding, who plays violently, to go shopping with the players in the summer league who are in urgent need of finding a job!To fight is also to fight in the regular season.

"OK!" Xue Ding hung up the phone helplessly.

However, Xue Ding felt a little better when he heard that he would enter the rotation as a backup point guard and could not play in the summer league.

Xue Ding wasted no time.

Started a new round of devil training, this time not in Portland, but back to the University of Washington.

Xue Ding is training with Isaiah Thomas this time!
"Xue, you have changed too much, you have changed a lot compared to half a year ago!"

"Tsk tsk, it's too strong."

The strongest 175 looked at Xue Ding's arm with envy.

Xue Ding shrugged, he is now the size of Westbrook.
Xue Ding has already controlled himself very much, and deliberately no longer trains his muscles!But these eight-pack abs can't stop them from running out.
"With your figure and your face, I can't think of any girl who wouldn't like you. You are training at school, and we often have more beautiful women watching the game beside the court, which is very comfortable."

"Yo Yo, and your butt, it's up and up."

"Snapped!"

Little Thomas really has a big mouth, pinching, grabbing and patting Xue Ding endlessly.
Xue Ding could only beat this big mouthed 175 with his fists! !

175 is easy to bully, and the short hands and short head are not very good.

On September 9, Xue Ding officially started his career in the Trail Blazers after he received an assembly text message from the Blazers.

Return to the Blazers' training facility.

The Blazers coach McMillan was very satisfied after seeing Xue Ding's size. The muscles in this body have been trained a lot in summer.

in the locker room.

Xue Ding saw several familiar figures from the team, and they were chatting.

Roy, Oden, Aldridge, Fernandez, Batum.

Xue Ding's personality is very cheerful, and when he sees these old birds, he immediately goes up to say hello.

"Hi, veterans, I am the new rookie of the Blazers, Xue Ding, you can call me Xue."

A bunch of veterans know that their team has a few new rookies.

But they all feel that the rookie in front of them doesn't look like a rookie, so TM enthusiastic! !
"Hi, Xue."

"Rookie, welcome to join."

Roy, Batum, and Fernandez are all gentlemen, and they all greeted Xue Ding. .

The Blazers' locker room is also very harmonious now. Under the leadership of leader Roy, this is a positive team.

"Xue, is it a habit to enter the NBA? This is different from the Huskies. If you need help, just let me know."

Roy is Xue Ding's senior, so he naturally wants to cover him!
Xue Ding said: "I don't need it for now, just don't punish me when you are punishing people. Haha!"

The topic these few just talked about is how to welcome rookies in a different way!

Rookies who are new to the league have to run errands for the veterans, that is, they have to be bullied for a while.This is the default rule of the NBA, and even the famous superstars in the league today cannot escape this reality
Oden shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Every rookie must experience some memories that will last a lifetime."

Fernandez also showed a weird smile.

Seeing that these two people seem to have a plan to trick him.

Xue Ding threatened: "OK, it's up to you, I think Chinese Kung Fu can also leave some memories."

Xue Ding directly threatened the two of them.

Roy, Auden, Fernandez and others laughed when they heard Xue Ding's words.

This rookie is really cruel, as soon as he enters the locker room, he threatens to beat someone.

Xue Ding strongly stated his personality, um, very cruel.

It really doesn't dare to be underestimated.

Of course, all of this is based on self-confidence in strength.

If Xue Ding's performance in the future is not as good as his personality, then he will be annoying
After greeting all his teammates one by one in the locker room, Xue Ding had a basic understanding of everyone.

Roy, the leader of the locker room, this guy is very mature, he is obviously in his twenties, but he speaks and acts very calmly, which is quite convincing.

Batum, who looks a bit wicked, but has a very gentle temper and is gentle.

Oden, this guy who looks like a 40-year-old uncle and beat Durant in the draft, has a child-like personality and is immature. As soon as Xue Ding came, he said that he would take him to a nightclub to pick up girls.

Aldridge, this is a simple and honest big man, honest and honest, no wonder he can be easily fooled by Popovich saying that you play power forward and not center.

Fernandez is an extremely mature veteran on the court. It seems that he has been playing professional courts since he was eleven or twelve years old.

In short, these several have their own personalities, but they all have one common characteristic.

None of them look like big-budget basketball players.

On the contrary, they all look like gentlemen!A cultured person with a lot of self-restraint.

during training.

McMillan asked several newcomers to introduce themselves in front of the crowd.

Then start regular recovery training.

Competition?
It doesn't exist. On the first day of the training camp, many players have not yet returned from their vacation. The confrontation match is too difficult for them, and they have to recover step by step.

During training, McMillan found newcomers to communicate and understand the situation.

When Xue Ding arrived.

McMillan said, "Xue, do you have any thoughts on tactics?"

Xue Ding knew that McMillan wanted to see how he defined himself.

Xue Ding was not modest either, and said, "Yes."

"If you were the core of the second team, how would you like to play?" McMillan asked with a smile.

"It's very simple. When I'm on the ground, I'll hold the ball, and they all pull away. I form a local advantage and then break through the ball or finish it by myself. There are many shooters in our team, Batum, Fernandez, Matthew Stan has a three-point shot. Of course, in addition to the position, I think our second team in the new season will mainly play fast transition offenses. Our running ability is very good and our speed is also very fast, and I can Dribble the ball directly from the backcourt to complete dunks, as long as my teammates can run to keep up with me, I will definitely pass."

"Do you have any suggestions for the main force's tactics?" McMillan nodded frequently, this Xue Ding is very confident!

"I think our first team also needs to speed up the pace of the game. Last season, we only averaged 96.3 points per game. This pace is too slow. Although the defense can win the championship, as long as I score more points than the opponent on the offensive end, then I can win. The team at the game is us."

"Our offense can focus on the basket or three-pointers, reducing the proportion of mid-range shots. The only player in the team who can shoot mid-range shots is Aldridge. I think our three-point shots are too few. At least Increased to more than 40 times, Roy and I are both very capable of heads-up, and when there is no chance to shoot a three-pointer, then we will end the game by the two of us head-to-head!"

Xue Ding's answer surprised McMillan very much!

He had never seen a rookie downplay the game, as if he would win the game, but could the game really be played so easily?

McMillan actually believed Xue Ding's nonsense a little bit.

This is Xue Ding's charm.

Xue Ding is talking about the future "super rocket" mode!
The Trail Blazers have shooters Batum, Webster, Fernandez and others who can shoot three-pointers.

Then there are Roy and Xue Ding, who are strong in heads-up.

There is also a former assist king Miller sorting out the offense, and the inside fulcrum Aldridge, which is much more reasonable than the later Rockets' lineup.

As long as the Blazers are healthy and everyone plays comfortably, then such a Blazer will start in the second round of the playoffs.
