Chapter 287

The game was settled and the two sides began to select players. Josh Jackson turned to a group of newcomers and shouted: "I play small forward, who wants to team up with me?".

Fultz stood up directly and glanced at Tianyang, with 'dissatisfied' written on his face.

"I'll play a center forward." Jordan Bell pushed aside the crowd and stood next to Josh.

"I'll be the point guard." Ball raised his hand, and Fultz didn't object.

Josh immediately formed a group of 3 people, and Tianyang couldn't help nodding: "Good guy, so many people are not convinced."

However, for the power forward position, after waiting for about 10 seconds, no one stood up to apply.

In the end, Markkanen reluctantly expressed his willingness to make up the number.

Seeing that the people on the other side were organized neatly, Tianyang also shouted at the newcomers: "Come any three."

"I'm coming!" Tatum and Kuzma said in unison, directly occupying two spots.

The other newcomers were all stunned, and several who wanted to go out all retreated.

In the eyes of some rookies, Tianyang and Kobe take over the back line, Tatum and Kuzma take over the front line, and there is only one center position left.

If you can't get the ball, you can only do dirty work, grab rebounds and so on, which is too little help to improve your draft pick.

"Is there no one else?" Tianyang asked while patrolling, all the newcomers were silent, he thought for a while and shouted: "Who is Donovan-Mitchell?"

"I'm here." Mitchell squeezed out from the crowd and walked to the top of the arc with a smile on his face.

Tianyang smiled at him, "I play point guard, you play shooting guard, Kobe plays small forward, Tatum and Kuzma play power forward, as long as they receive a pass, they will shoot decisively."

"Not so good, Kobe is here with you, what kind of shooting guard am I playing..." Mitchell subconsciously declined.

"Huh? You forgot the theme of today's training camp? Be more confident." Tianyang patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay!" Mitchell seemed to have made great determination.

……

According to the training camp plan, games are played every day, so referees are always available.

The arena staff also opened the data screen and entered the names of the players of the two teams and other information.

Team A, Tianyang, Mitchell, Kobe, Tatum, Kuzma.

Team B, Ball, Fultz, Josh, Markanen, Bell.

The players on both sides settled down respectively, and Kuzma and Bell jumped the ball.

The referee walked between the two and shouted: "Reminder, the attack time is 24 seconds, a total of 20 minutes", and then gently tossed the ball up.

Bell touched the ball first without any suspense, and swiped back vigorously.

Ball picked up the basketball and brought it forward, and suddenly made a long pass to the ground. Fultz sprinted at high speed after receiving the ball.

Mitchell chased after him and stopped the opponent on the right wing, but the basketball immediately flew into the hands of Josh at the top of the arc.

Kobe stuck it directly, bent his legs and bent over, raised his right hand high, and assumed a standard single-defense posture.

Josh lowered his shoulders and dashed forward facing the frame. Kobe adjusted his steps, grabbed and retreated.

The two came all the way to the low post on the right, Josh made an emergency stop and retreated to shoot, and Kobe jumped up to block the shot.

"Bang!", the shot hit the iron, but Bell grabbed the offensive rebound and faced Kuzma on the spot.

After dunking and scoring, Kuzma looked embarrassed and immediately turned and ran forward.

Team A attacked, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, waited for Kobe to get a position in the elbow area, and passed the ball decisively.

Kobe took off to catch the ball, turned his back to Josh, and did not move his feet immediately. After shaking continuously, he turned around with his right foot as the axis.

Josh jumped up and blocked the shot with a smile on his face, but Kobe didn't shoot. Instead, he bent over and rushed to the basket, passing the ball to Kuzma in a hand-to-hand position. The latter responded with a dunk. .

The breakthrough was wonderful, the assists were also wonderful, and there were bursts of applause at the scene.

On the sidelines, Hart opened his mouth wide, "Just now, I saw a Kobe passing the ball!"

The voice was a bit loud, and it spread to the field. Kobe turned his head and smiled at him when he heard the words.

Hart trembled...

Team B attacked, and Ball took the ball to the right wing. After cooperating with Bell in the pick-and-roll, he rushed to the top of the arc.

Kuzma couldn't keep up, but Ball didn't shoot, and Mitchell rushed to help defend.

Ball scored the ball, Fultz caught the ball and went inside, and took off in one step from the free throw line.

"Is this guy an eagle, so he can fly?" Tianyang complained inwardly.

Just when everyone at the scene thought it was another dunk, Tatum moved laterally from the low position on the right to supplement the defense, and presented a big cap. The basketball was slapped to the right sideline and fell into Kuzma's hands.

Seeing this, Tianyang rushed to the front court, received the pass near the center line, accelerated to the three-point line, and made an emergency stop to pass the ball behind his back.

At the same time, Mitchell, who followed up, received the ball from a high position on the left and wanted to pass back. Tianyang turned his head to signal for him to attack by himself.

After being instructed, Mitchell immediately jumped up in three steps and showed off a crotch-handed dunk!
The rookies at the scene cheered and applauded, and a cameraman on the sidelines kept clicking his tongue: "This rookie class is terrible!"

First, Fultz showed off the free throw line for a dunk, and then Mitchell changed hands for a dunk. Ball's long pass just now was also full of spirituality, an absolute draft year.

Team B attacked, Ball dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Bell stepped forward to pick and roll, and Kuzma switched defenses.

Ball got rid of Tianyang and took the ball to the left. Josh asked for the ball from the low post on the left. Ball hesitated for a while and passed the ball.

It is still a face-to-face attack, trying to use speed to take Kobe hard.

But I thought, Kobe was close to him and Josh could only stop and use his height to force a shot.

With a "bang", the shot hit the iron.

Kobe grabbed the rebound, turned around and took a look, and made a long pass to the frontcourt.

Tianyang received the ball from the three-point line, faced Ball's defense, rushed to the right elbow, and started playing with his back.

Ball UCLA is famous for its one-handed organization and defense. He has a height of 198cm in shoes, a wingspan of 208cm, and a good anticipation hand, which often annoys offensive players.

But Tianyang didn't suffer from his stature. After shaking continuously, he turned around and took off, leaned back and shot.

Ball tried in vain to block the shot, and the ball went hollow.

6 to 2, Team A gave Team B a blow.

Team B attacked, and Ball organized at the top of the arc. Faced with Josh asking for the ball, he chose not to give it.

Bell stepped forward to pick and roll, Ball dribbled the ball to the left, Kuzma followed Tianyang's instructions, and did not let go.

There was a wide space of almost one meter, and other rookies off the court booed one after another. Ball seemed to be reluctant to shoot a 3-pointer.

"I'll go!" A photographer on the sidelines raised his head and took off his glasses. "Did I just see 'Dump Sniper'?".

With a "bang", the shot hit the iron, and there was a burst of laughter at the scene. Ball's shooting posture was so joyful.

Tatum caught the rebound, Tianyang took it and took it to the frontcourt, and when Kobe succeeded in positioning, he passed the ball again.

Josh didn't defend in place at the first time, but Kobe kept his promise and waited for him to step forward before starting post-up singles.

After shaking continuously, Kobe turned around and retreated, shooting a jumper.

The whole thing isn't as quick as it was at its peak, but it's still smooth, with the ball hollow into the net.

There was applause at the scene. This is the first time Kobe has performed offense in public after retiring, and it is still picturesque.

8 to 2, which made Team B a little impatient. After Ball dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, he lobbed the ball inside.

Markkanen received the ball from the low post on the left, and took advantage of his height to turn around and make a mid-range shot.

Tatum flew to block the interference, and there was another 'clang', and the shot hit the iron.

Kuzma caught the rebound and made a long pass to Tianyang for a fast break, but Ball followed closely, and Tianyang chose to slow down to control the rhythm.

The main purpose of the game is to teach young players the importance of playing back, not to win.

After Kobe ran to the elbow area and successfully claimed his position, Tianyang passed the ball.

Kobe received the ball, backed up and pushed hard. Although he failed to grab the space, he managed to trick Josh into exerting force. Kobe took advantage of the momentum to turn forward and shot from the frame.

Hit! Team A is 10 to 2.

Bell retreated out of bounds, ready to serve and attack, Josh suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Okay, let's stop here, I admit that I was wrong, I have a problem with the understanding of back attack."

Kobe stopped, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "There's no need to admit your mistake, you just have relatively inexperienced, I was crazier than you when I was young, and even said I wanted to blow up the peak Jordan, continue to maintain this momentum."

After the words fell, the audience applauded Josh Jackson and whistled to cheer him on.

But Josh added: "But I still insist that post-up is no longer the main choice in basketball games. This low-frequency offensive method is too low in value compared to other offensive methods."

Kobe shrugged and stopped responding. Tianyang took over the topic and said, "I mainly play back-to-back games. I scored 60 points and 40+ triple-doubles. Haven't you watched the Western Conference Finals?"

"So the Lakers lost the game. You have a strong three-pointer like Curry, but you didn't use it as the main offensive method. It's a pity." Josh's words were amazing, and everyone on the scene was stunned, and it was too rude. Bar?

Tianyang didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Then how do you believe that back attacks will never go out of style?"

Josh thought for a while, "Unless the Lakers mainly win the championship through post-ups."

Tianyang felt a bit difficult when he heard the words, but Kobe responded suddenly: "I promise you."

……

The back row of stands on the left side of the arena.

Jim stretched his neck, showing surprise, "What does Kobe mean when he says he promises you?"

Wharton also frowned and thought, and after a while, "Is he going to come back? The performance of the few goals just now feels a bit premature. If he plays a game, he can really score a few. That Josh Jackson's physical fitness He’s tough and has good defensive awareness.”

Jim turned his head, "Then what do you mean? Apart from defense, Kobe also has an average offense?"
