NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

After the game started, Ling Yang showed [-]% concentration to the game.

On the offensive end, he actively screens and runs without the ball. While trying to make the ball for his teammates, he is also constantly looking for opportunities to cut into the basket.

On the defensive end, he also made James Jones quite miserable.

Ling Yang's excellent movement speed, coupled with his familiarity with the Suns' tactics in the system training space every day in the early stage, is very good at restricting James Jones' off-ball movement.

It is no exaggeration to say that even though it was just a team training match, Ling Yang almost tried his best.

Because Ling Yang is very clear that although D'Antoni looks very bold in terms of tactical concepts, he is extremely advocating offense.

But in the use of personnel, it is very conservative.

Unlike Popovich, Cole and others, he likes to rotate on a large scale, but likes to play the main force.

In the previous life, whether he was in the Suns, the Knicks or later went to the Rockets, D'Antoni often used 8 or 9 players in a game. Whether it was the main force or the core substitute players, they played a long time.

In this case, if Ling Yang wants to get more offensive opportunities in the regular season of the new season.

It is necessary to perform well in training camp and preseason, get D'Antoni's approval, and then enter the core rotation list.

It is precisely because of this that Ling Yang worked extraordinarily hard in the competition.

Of course, there is no suspense about the results of the match between teams A and B.

The A team has Nash and Marion, although Raja Bell, James Jones and Kurt Thomas are all new players to the team.

But with Nash leading, the offense was sorted out very smoothly, and D'Antoni's tactics were also executed quite well.

On the other hand, in the B team, only Barbosa was a Sun player last season, and the rest were newcomers.

What's more, whether it is Eddie House or Barbosa, although they are both point guards, they are both offensive in style, and their organizational skills are not outstanding. Naturally, they are far inferior to A in terms of tactics. Team.

Among them, it was Ling Yang's tactical performance that made D'Antoni's eyes shine.

To be honest, Ling Yang's offensive performance in this game was not outstanding. His main offensive threat came from cutting into the basket to attack the basket, but many tactics of Team B did not run out.

So Ling Yang didn't get too many chances to attack the basket.

However, from D'Antoni's point of view.

What he saw was not just whether Ling Yang attacked the basket in the end, but the accuracy of Ling Yang's tactical execution on both offensive and defensive ends.

Whether it is the cover, movement, and quick play in the offense, or the early prediction of the tactics executed by the players of Team A in the defense.

Ling Yang is the best performer in Team B, even surpassing Barbosa.

"Ling, how do you practice the team's tactical moves?"

After finishing the confrontation training, D'Antoni immediately asked Ling Yang.

In D'Antoni's view, if Ling Yang has a good method, sharing it will allow other players newly joined this season to quickly adapt to the team's tactics.

Ling Yang naturally has a method, that is, the systematic training space, but this reason cannot be said obviously.

Therefore, Ling Yang once again brought up the rhetoric he had given to Gentry:

"Coach, I'm just studying the team's game tape from last season. This summer in Phoenix, I've been doing it."

"Yes, Mike, I showed him the video," Gentry added.

In the previous two months, Ling Yang did ask Gentry for the game video.

After D'Antoni heard it, he also remembered that Gentry had told him before that Ling Yang watched the video, and then his reading ability in the game improved rapidly, and immediately looked at Ling Yang in surprise.

In those eyes, there is a bit of satisfaction

Able to study the team's tactics very diligently, and also have such understanding...

Nice guy!

D'Antoni also knew at this time why Gentry liked Ling Yang so much.

"Okay, let's continue training!"

D'Antoni clapped his hands, and the crowd began to disperse.

Continue to train tactics, but it is not the confrontation training just now, but D'Antoni leads the assistant coach to find three or four people to do tactical training.

Ling Yang is not on the wheel for the time being, remembering the communication with Nash two days ago, he took the initiative to come to Gentry and said:

"Coach, I want to practice the change of rhythm when dribbling and fast break, so as to improve my ability to attack the defense."

"Good idea. In the NBA, you will indeed face more complicated situations. You need to adapt in advance." Gentry nodded.

"Ling, in fact, you should also strengthen your ability to hold the ball. In this way, not only the fast break, but your breakthrough in the half court will also be very lethal. Of course, this does not happen overnight."

"Okay, boy, let me find a trainer to practice with you."

After Gentry finished speaking, Ling Yang immediately said with a happy face: "Thank you coach."

Gentry quickly found a trainer, and the two explained to Ling Yang the technique of changing the rhythm of dribbling while running, and Ling Yang immediately started training.

Ling Yang dribbled the ball from the backcourt for a fast break, while the trainer was in the half court with a sponge stick to block and interfere with Ling Yang.

"Ling, the rhythm change has to be sudden, you can't slow down so early."

"It's good to stop and start quickly, but the center of gravity should be lower, otherwise it is easy to be intercepted."

……

According to the trainer's prompts, Ling Yang constantly adjusted and improved, and became proficient in changing the rhythm.

This kind of training lasted for more than half an hour, and Ling Yang was notified to end the training.

Today is the intra-team match, and it is also the team's media open day. All the players will be interviewed by the media, and the reporters will come to the training ground soon.

This is the first media open day after the opening of the Suns training camp, so many reporters came.

Well-informed reporters have been informed of Stoudemire's injury.

So as soon as they entered the venue, a group of reporters immediately flocked to D'Antoni and Nash, asking about Stoudemire and the Sun's plan for the new season.

For a while, the rest of the players were really left out.

Except Ling Yang.

After the reporters came in one after another, several Chinese reporters came straight to Ling Yang.

Ling Yang signed a formal contract with Sun, which also brought Sun a lot of attention in China.

Of course, because of Yao Ming's existence, the Rockets must still be the most popular team in China at this stage.

However, media such as Huaxia TV and Sina, which cooperates with the NBA in live broadcasting, have also sent reporters to report on the situation of the Suns.

Several reporters, Ling Yang, are also familiar with them. As for the questions, they mainly revolve around how they feel after Ling Yang's training camp, and whether they can adapt to it.

Ling Yang answered very easily.

When a female reporter from Huaxia TV asked:

"Ling Yang, how is your current state? Are you sure you will get more playing opportunities in the team rotation in the new season?"

Ling Yang laughed at that time, "The state is pretty good. As for the chance to play, it mainly depends on the coach's arrangement. If possible, I also hope you can ask the coach for me."

The reporter also laughed, "If I ask, I will definitely tell you."

Therefore, when Huaxia reporters interviewed D'Antoni, they inevitably asked this question.

D'Antoni recalled Ling Yang's performance in the training match just now, and said with a smile on his face:

"Very good, Ling's performance exceeded my expectations, he is very adaptable and understands tactics very quickly.

Ling's basketball talent is very good. I'm not just talking about athletic ability. His basketball IQ is very high. I think he will be able to adapt to the NBA quickly.

Ling will undoubtedly get a lot of playing opportunities, and we also expect him to make greater contributions to the team's victory. "
