Chapter 15 Summer League
July 7, 11:8 p.m.

"Chris, do you have any expectations for this matchup between the No. [-] pick and No. [-] pick?" Since the conversation was between Young and Russell, ESPN specially sent Chris Webber and Mr. Hubie Brown as their commentators.

"This is the first game of the No. [-] pick. Of course we want to see if he can adapt to the rhythm and calling of the NBA."

"If it takes him a few games to get used to a game of this level, the death knell should be sounding now." While Mr. Hubie Brown was speaking, the Lakers' Russell and Randall made two beautiful dunks to set the Lakers fans ablaze.

"What's the situation?" Yang, who was practicing catch and shoot in the left bottom corner, suddenly felt a group of teammates looking at him.

Unaware of the truth, he immediately raised his head to look at the central screen above his head.

"Then let me do it!" Yang, who understood what was going on, immediately picked up the two Spaldings that had been placed on the ground.

"Hey, I didn't expect that anyone other than Stephen Curry would dare to shoot like this. Has he ever played a mid-circle shot in college?" As Young walked towards the mid-circle, Hubie Brown and Chris Webber in the commentary both guessed his intention.

"I have played it before. According to reliable sources, I often played like this before the sophomore game, and I stopped playing like this before the junior game."

…………

…………

"This, this, this, he actually hit it the first time." The disadvantages of the too transparent arena appeared at this moment, and the exclamation of the audience almost made the TV audience unable to hear Chris Webber's voice.

"It seems that he already knows that he has a good touch. Now it's time to start the second." Watching Young jogging to the player's lane with the ball in his arms, Hubie Brown knew that he was going to start the second

"It's so biased, I bet the ball won't go in"

"The ball is weirder than the center circle position, I'm sure he'll hit the iron [-] percent."

"You two upstairs, don't you want to gamble for fun?"

"..."

Because of the good hand feeling, he didn't even hesitate when he came to the channel position, and decisively launched the second shot.

When the basketball was still in the air, Young turned around slowly, with his back facing back to the court.

Back on the court, he didn't stand uneasy, but signaled his request to celebrate.

"Let us celebrate before scoring a goal, how embarrassing! What should we do!"

"It's okay to be crazy with him, but it's embarrassing to screw up and lose face,"

"It's better to be quiet, it won't be too embarrassing."

When the fans were in the battle between heaven and man, a "swish" sound broke the weird atmosphere
The 76ers fans who reacted instantly started to act, and their exclamations and shouts suppressed the offensive of the Lakers fans.

…………

…………

As the "warm-up" ended, players from both sides came to the field

In order to deal with this game, the starting lineup sent by the 76ers is: point guard McConnell, shooting guard: A. Kazmi, small forward: Yakar Thompson, power forward: Young, center: Jerami Grant.

Although this lineup looks good, it is still much inferior to the Lakers' lineup composed of Russell, Jabari Brown, Anthony Brown, Randall, and Tarek Black.

Although Jerami Grant's athletic ability was beyond the mark, he still lost in the jump ball competition this time.

"Retreat." The failure to jump the ball was also expected by Yang, and he began to direct his teammates to retreat.

"Let's see how much strength you have to be number one." Randall bit Young in the area below the free throw line in the first round.

"This little guy is really good, and Randall's strength and agility didn't take advantage of it." Randall's several flexible positions were resolved by Yang's four or two tricks, which made Mr. Hubie Brown, who had never seen Young's complete play, very satisfied.

"Russell, give it to me." Randall, who has been unable to get into position for a long time, wants to change his offensive method. He wants to turn his back and change the frame.

"You're shorter than me, you hit the frame, can you see the frame?" Yang, who held up his left hand to suppress Randall's ball-handler, was also very rude to damage Randall's height.

The aftereffects of Randall's only one game in the first year appeared here, and he actually thought about Young's trash talk.

Such a golden opportunity, how could it be missed, taking advantage of Randall's stunned time, Yang decisively took the ball.

"Good timing, I'll give [-] points to this pick." Chris Webber gave the steal a full score as Young picked up the ball that rolled on the ground before Randle.

Facing the empty opponent's basket, Yang, who was out of Duke's nature, did not dunk himself, but smashed the ball high into the backboard...

"Jerami Grant." Facing the dunk, the DJ in the arena yelled at his highest volume.

The Lakers, who suffered a loss, immediately remembered the problem, and they changed the focus of offense from the inside to the outside in the next round.

Back screens, down screens, cross screens, Randall gave up the opportunity to play the leading role during the offensive time, and tried his best to create opportunities for his teammates, but

With the bang, the Lakers' offense came to naught
At the moment when the bubble appeared, Yang, who was in a disadvantaged position on the rebound, quickly completed his turn, and cleverly stuck Randall behind him.
It can't be squeezed and can't be squeezed, and it can't be detoured, and it's even more unrealistic to take it from the top of the head.

With all the disadvantages coming together, Randall suddenly remembered the "teaching" of the team's predecessors

"di"

"No. 30, rebounding foul."

The Lakers' offense is not satisfactory, and the 76ers' offense is not much better. Although McConnell is a good pick-and-roll ball handler, he can't stand his teammates not executing according to the pre-designed tactics.

"clang"

The unexpected situation did not happen, Yakar Thompson's long-range shot hit the iron, and also exposed the sequelae of long-range shots: long rebounds.

Faced with a rebound that was like a gift from heaven, Jabari Brown would not be polite, and immediately rushed towards the 76ers halfcourt

Because he knows that he, who is on the edge of the team, needs good statistics and court performance to prove his ability to the team.

When he rushed to the free throw line and no 76ers defensive player came out to intercept, Jabari Brown, who was active in mind, immediately completed the collection and vacated before the dunk
"It's close, it's close, it's close." Seeing the ball in his hand approaching the basket step by step, his mood became excited, and he began to fantasize about how the commentators and fans would brag about themselves.

Bragging? ?If Chris Weber knew about his mental activities, Chris Weber would definitely call him an idiot, because...

The "high-speed train" in full swing is coming.

"Boom, boom." With the two sounds of the ball landing and the person landing, the a little frightened 76ers summer league interim head coach hurriedly requested a timeout.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine."

"You really have something to do, go to the team doctor for a checkup, and if you feel uncomfortable, go for an MRI."

Under the very "loved" care of the interim head coach, Young's first summer league game is over, with one assist, one steal and one block in 2 minutes, this is the report card that Young can give.

The next day, Young got a lot of playing time that night as he pledged not to do anything crazy on the court:
It's a pity that the Celtics' lineup, under Young's powerful tandem, was really a little unbeatable. They only resisted for two and a half quarters, and they were already defeated.

In such a mood of taking care of their teammates, the 76ers benefited the most from Yakar Thompson and Jerami Grant.

上一场16中3只拿下9分4篮板的亚卡尔汤普森，在本场摆脱了打铁光环拿下了21分6篮板3助攻。

Jerami Grant also scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks under Young's feeding.

And what about Young?He also scored 11 points, 22 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, which are very ordinary data.

Due to his performance on the court, he received full marks from the 76ers coaching staff and management. In the following games, Young:
Was rested again.

With the July 7 loss to the Rockets at home for the 18ers, Young's first and only summer league trip came to an end.
