Chapter 31 The Summer League Begins

The days of the training camp passed day by day. Although the head coach has not yet been decided, Yang Zhan has also started to practice the tactics of last season with his new teammates.

On July 2005, 7, the Rocky Mountain Summer League, at this time the Summer League has not yet been included in the official event, (since 9, the NBA has officially incorporated this event into the NBA).

Although the summer league at this time was not as popular as later generations, this did not hinder players from participating. Kobe Bryant, who was a rookie in 96, also participated in the game and averaged 25 points per game in the summer league.

Even the Chinese national men's basketball team also participated in the summer league that year. Among them, Hu Weidong made 6 three-pointers and contributed 30 points in the game against Kobe.

There are 6 teams in the summer league held in Rocky Mountain this time, namely, Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Seattle SuperSonics, and Atlanta Hawks.

夏季联赛的比赛时间为：7月11日-7月20日，也就意味着在9天的时间里灰熊队，要进行5场比赛。

This poses a great challenge to the physical strength and energy of the players.

Before the start of the summer league, each team can recruit players to fight for themselves, as long as they finally cut down to 15 people.

And Yang Zhan also found that it seemed that every time he came to the training ground these days, there would always be a few new faces.

It's just that the temporary team has been assembled. Except for Ellis who is fighting with Yang Zhan this time, Yang Zhan doesn't know anything about the rest of the team.

Yang Zhan followed the team into the Pepsi Center. It was his first time participating in the summer league. Before he had time to appreciate the environment here, the system task was released again.

Ding!Released the system task "Sparkling Summer League".

Rewards: Judging by Summer League performance

Hearing the cheers from the fans, Yang Zhan suddenly felt that he was back in the high school league again, which made his blood boil instantly. Sure enough, he still likes this kind of atmosphere.

Before the start of the game, Yang Zhan received many interviews from the media, presumably it was Bill Duffy's operation.

Today, the Grizzlies' opponent is the San Antonio Spurs, and there is no one who knows them.

In fact, the Spurs are also very helpless. Originally, this summer league was used to test. This year's 28th pick in the first round, "Ian Mahinmi", for some reason, after being selected, Mahinmi did not enter the NBA, but chose to continue honing his skills in the French league.

The main offensive point of the Grizzlies is undoubtedly the combination of two guns in the backcourt.

oh!Yang's game state is really too stable!He is simply too versatile, no matter what Yang's future in the NBA is, but on a stage like the summer league, he is definitely worthy of his draft template "Penny".

We can see that Yang Zhan took a big step directly on the field at this time, forcing a breakthrough with his speed. It was too easy. He broke through to the free throw line. Is he going to attack the frame directly?No, it's a breakout.

Yang Zhan hit the ground and passed the ball to Ellis, who was running without the ball. The latter went inside, turned around and passed the opponent's center, and made a layup, which came from the cooperation of the Grizzlies' two guns in the backcourt. This ball is really beautiful! "

25 points, under the leadership of Yang Zhan and Ellis, the Memphis team has led the Seattle SuperSonics by 25 points!The Grizzlies are about to usher in their fourth straight game! "

We can see that such a game is not at the same level for the Grizzlies' backcourt double guns, although they are only 18 years old.

But Ellis is like a general, he is omnipotent on the offensive end, while Yang is like a marshal, commanding his teammates to attack the city and become the team's toughest backing.

At this time, the commentators praised the Memphis backcourt double star.

The summer league has played three games, and the data of Ellis and Young are averages per game.

23.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 steals.

21.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 2.4 steals, 0.7 blocks.

It is not difficult to see from the data that the commentator's description of the two players is still based. Yang Zhan is still the same as in high school, he likes to connect his teammates first and drive the whole team.

As for Ellis, as long as you get the ball, you basically can't come back, but who makes him really have offensive talent, especially in breakthroughs, and the inside finish, which can be said to be very good.

Assistant coach Mike Fratello, who led the Grizzlies to play in the summer league, couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Although the stage of the competition is small, he is leading the team alone this time. If he achieves excellent results, it will undoubtedly increase his chances of competing for the head coach.

At this time, there is still half a quarter left in the fourth quarter, but there is no suspense in the game.

Yang Zhan didn't have much interest anymore, so he released the ball early and frequently landed on the corners on both sides. If there was an open spot, he would shoot one, and if there was no space, he would pass it to Ellis and let him play by himself.

Yang Zhan knew that the previous games were all appetizers, and the real big fish was in the last game.
