Chapter 31 Summer League ([-])

Jiang Yan's life began to become very regular again.

Get up at eight in the morning, go to the arena at nine, train for two and a half hours in the morning, then eat, start training at two in the afternoon, and train until six.

Finally, train for another three hours at night.

This two-point and one-line life every day directly leaves some unconvinced people who think that Jiang Yan was selected by the Kings because of her skin directly speechless!
These days, Jiang Yan doesn't have the slightest thought of communicating with these undrafted picks, although he knows that he wants to play summer contact with these people.

However, Jiang Yan thinks that at least 90% of these people will leave, and it would be nice to keep one or two!

Since it is impossible to be teammates in the future, there is no need to waste time getting along with these people!

And among these undrafted picks, there are also people who are quick-witted and want to flatter Jiang Yan, and then hope to be signed!

But these people's careful thinking couldn't be hidden from Jiang Yan, who was familiar with "Houhei Xue", Jiang Yan just ignored these people.

At the same time, Jiang Yan's move also gave him the nickname "robot" in the eyes of these undrafted picks!
It is not only saying that Jiang Yan trains like a robot, without fatigue!

It is also saying that Jiang Yan has no human emotions and does not talk to them at all!
During the period, Jiang Yan's joining press conference was also held. In front of many media, Jiang Yan showed the number of the Kings that she had chosen - No. 11.

In fact, this number has a meaning.

There has been a Lord of the Rings in the history of NBA basketball, that is Bill Russell, who has won eleven championship rings.

And Jiang Yan used the No. 11 jersey to warn herself that she must get at least one championship ring in the future!
Motivate yourself, encourage yourself!

……

Time passed quietly, and soon came July 2012, 14.

All the rookies and undrafted players of the Kings, including Jiang Yan, came to Las Vegas.

There are 24 teams participating in Summer League this year in Las Vegas, with the other six teams in Orlando.

Summer League is played over a period of 9 days.

This year the Kings have a total of four opponents, they are the New Orleans Hornets, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and Charlotte Bobcats.

Today is the game between the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Hornets.

The game was hyped up by the media.

Jiang Yan of the Kings and Anthony Davis of the Hornets are both favored by NBA dictator Stern.

Moreover, the league's first summer league game had the two teams arranged together, which also felt like sparks hitting the earth!
Jiang Yan was sitting in the locker room, tying the shoelaces on her feet tightly. Soon, he was going to play for the Kings for the first time, even though it was the summer season!
At this time, a person walked into the locker room, and it was Vigelis, the assistant coach of the team's previous head coach.

It stands to reason that Vigelis should have followed Jogel after he was fired.

However, Jogel is not a well-known coach, and Vigelis knows that if he follows him, he may not even be able to keep his assistant job!

So Viglies approached Patric and asked to stay!

And Patric also sees that the team can't do without a coach, so Viglis brought the rookies to Las Vegas to participate in the summer league.

And Patrik also has such thoughts, if the time comes when the head coach cannot be found, Viglies will be promoted!
"Yan, how are you preparing?" Viglies asked with a smile on his face after entering.

Viglis is old and sophisticated, so I don't know who Patric values ​​most!
At this time, if you don't take a good 'flattery' with Jiang Yan, when will you wait?

"Coach! I'm fine!" Jiang Yan respected the coach even though he was an assistant!
At Wake Forest University, Jeff gave him so much help during college, so he has a lot of respect for Jeff.

Originally at the draft meeting, he wanted Jeff to come, but Jeff said that his daughter was getting married and had no time to come.

But this does not prevent Jiang Yan from respecting the team's coach.

"Well, then let's play!" Viglies said.

Jiang Yan nodded.

Everyone saw Jiang Yan standing up, and other players also stood up.

The order of playing in the NBA is different from that in colleges. Players play one by one!

The first player to play is number two among the players.

The most important player is always the finale, the last one to travel.

Since the Kings players coming to Las Vegas are all rookies and undrafted picks, there is no No. [-].

Only Jiang Yan, the No. [-] show, was the finale.

Jiang Yan stood in the player tunnel and saw his teammates go out one by one.

Soon, only he and Viglis were left in the passage.

At this time, the outside director shouted loudly: "The following is the No. [-] rookie from the Kings. He is from the Wake Forest Devil Deacon team. He is known as the light of the forest and led Wake Forest to the Sweet Sixteen. Jiang... Yan..."

"Yan... Yan..."

Suddenly, there were bursts of shouts like waves on the court.

Along with those chants came the fans in a violet Kings jersey.

Jiang Yan was walking in the player tunnel, and some fans stretched out their palms in the corridor next to him, wanting to clap with him.

Of course Jiang Yan would not refuse these requests, and took photos with them one by one as she walked by!

Jiang Yan looked at the auditorium and found that there were many people of yellow race, and some audience members were holding signs saying 'Jiang Yan, you are the best'!

No wonder the cheers were so high when Jiang Yan came out!
After Jiang Yan came to the court, she immediately announced that the opponent of the Kings this time was the Hornets.

It is also the team that holds the No. [-] pick this year, and they chose Anthony Davis.

At the same time, the Hornets also used their No. [-] pick to select Jiang Yan's old opponent Austin Rivers.

History still hasn't changed with the appearance of Jiang Yan!
And the Hornets also selected Darius Miller with the No.16 pick in the second round.

Therefore, the Hornets' lineup today focuses on the rookie lineup led by Davis.

As for the Kings, only Jiang Yan was the No. [-] pick.

But it is really easy for Jiang Yan to clean up Rivers now!
……

"Beep!" With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

But when the Kings are scrambling for the ball, after all, the person scrambling for the ball is not the opponent's center, but Davis!
After Rivers got the ball, he dribbled it to the first half.

He pretended to stand outside the three-point line and watched his teammates run.

But according to his personality, there is no such thing as a passer.

Jiang Yan has fought against Rivers four times in the ACC. Doesn't he know Rivers' character?

This is a guy with the body of a point guard but the heart of a shooting guard.

If Jiang Yan can believe that Rivers can pass the ball, then he believes his evil!
Sure enough, Rivers ignored Davis, who was standing in a good position inside, facing Jiang Yan's defense, and directly crossed the ball, trying to break through Jiang Yan.

But Jiang Yan already knew what Rivers was thinking, so would he let him make a breakthrough?
The moment Rivers speeded up his dribble, Jiang Yan took a step back and blocked Rivers' right side where he wanted to break through.

Rivers didn't expect Jiang Yan's defense to be so strong now. You must know that when he was in the ACC, he relied on one move to break through Jiang Yan countless times!

Rivers was originally a player with only one axe, except for breakthroughs.

Now the breakthrough route was blocked by Jiang Yan, he had no choice but to stop the ball and wanted to pass the ball to his teammates.

But since Jiang Yan can think of Rivers' breakthrough, she can also think of Rivers' pass.

Just as Rivers lifted the ball up with both hands, Jiang Yan moved everything quickly, and the basketball was cut off by Jiang Yan.

Afterwards, the basketball was taken by Jiang Yan.

With a skillful wave of his hand, Jiang Yan dribbled the ball and rushed forward quickly.

But Jiang Yan forgot that he is now in the Kings team, and these teammates are not those teammates of the Devil Deacon team.

These teammates didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Yan's big wave.

So in the end, Jiang Yan was the only one who rushed forward quickly.

The Hornets had three people following Jiang Yan closely.

After halftime, Jiang Yan subconsciously glanced behind her and found that there were three people following her, and these three people were wearing yellow clothes, not the violet clothes of the Kings at all.

Turning his head, he rushed to the opponent's basket in this situation. Isn't this looking for a cap?
Turning her eyes, Jiang Yan suddenly stopped at the three-point line, picked up the ball, and was about to shoot.

The three that the Hornets chased were the three that the Hornets selected this year, Davis, Rivers and Miller.

Davis deserves to be the No. [-] pick. His physical fitness is good. Although he is an insider, he runs faster than the other two.

Jiang Yan was afraid of getting bloody when he rushed to the basket because he saw Davis following behind him.

Davis saw Jiang Yan stop suddenly, and he also stopped subconsciously, but the eyes under the thick eyebrows saw Jiang Yan raising his hand to shoot.

As a strong defender, he subconsciously jumped up again and stretched out his long arms, wanting to give Jiang Yan a cap.

Since Jiang Yan knew that Davis was behind her and knew Davis' defensive ability, would she look for a cap in this situation?
Absolutely not. Jiang Yan, who raised her hand to make a shooting motion but didn't raise it at all, saw Davis jumping up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

You got Fooled!

Jiang Yan kept shooting and bumped into Davis' jumping body.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yan was knocked down to the ground by Davis' strength. At the same time, a whistle came from beside her, and she was holding three fingers!

The meaning is obvious, that is, Davis made a shooting foul and Jiang Yan got three free throw opportunities.

Davis put his waist in helplessly, standing there helplessly looking at the referee and Jiang Yan who stood up neatly after the referee whistled.

What a treacherous!
At this time, the roar in Davis' heart!
Jiang Yan's fans on the stage saw the penalty, they all stood up and applauded, bursts of cheers resounded in the arena!
After Jiang Yan rubbed her butt, she immediately stood on the free throw line, preparing for the next three free throws.

During Jiang Yan's free throw, the two teams began to make substitutions.

First of all, the Hornets replaced Rivers who was intercepted by Jiang Yan at the beginning. The coach of the Hornets also wanted to protect Rivers.

Secondly, Vigelis directly replaced the other four players on the field, because these four players were still in the backcourt in a daze when Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to play a fast break just now.

Such an inactive player, what qualifications does he have to be on the court!

What's more, this game is undoubtedly centered on Jiang Yan, and those who don't cooperate can't even be on the court!
