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

The difference between the 5V5 matchups in the training camp and normal NBA games is that there are only five people in each group and there are no substitutes, and the matchups only last two quarters or 24 minutes.

So in the morning, when Ling Yang and others came to the arena, the first thing they did was to divide into groups.

To Ling Yang's surprise, the person who presided over the group turned out to be Mark Tatum, one of the few league executives he knew.

David Stern, Joke, and Mark Tatum are three NBA executives Sunny is familiar with.

Needless to say, the first two, the latter is because the other party has been responsible for the promotion in China for a long time, and because they have half of the Chinese blood, they often show their faces in China.

Mark Tatum introduced himself first.

Only then did Ling Yang know that Mark Tatum had become the vice president of the league, and he was in charge of the draft.

"Let's start grouping, group A, white team, center Andrew Bynum, power forward Marvin Williams, small forward Danny Granger, shooting guard Martell Webster, point guard Deron -Williams."

Ling Yang took a look at the first group of Mark Tatum's points. There is a high probability that they are lottery picks, that is, the top 14 picks.

And among them, Granger seemed to be the only one who didn't enter the lottery, and fell to the 17th pick and was selected by the Pacers.

But in terms of strength, Granger is obviously worthy of a lottery pick in this class.

Among these people, perhaps Webster is even less known to Huaxia fans, but after the other party entered the Trail Blazers, he was also the one who partnered with Roy on the Blazers' front and back line, and he could be regarded as the starting strength of an NBA team.

I didn't think much about it, because at this time Mark Tatum had already started to say his name again.

"Group A, Black Team, center Andrew Bogut, power forward Charlie Villanueva, shooting guard Gerald Green, point guard Chris Paul, small forward..."

Speaking of this, Mark Tatum paused, looked at Ling Yang, and there was a smile on his face at this time.

"Ling Yang!"

Before Ling Yang could react, Mark Tatum had already called out his name.

"It's really me?" Ling Yang was slightly surprised, but the joy in his heart was a little more.

It's good to be on the same team with Paul, at least the opponent's organization is the best among the rookies in this class, not to mention that the two sides have a series of PY transactions.

Others were a little surprised, because the two teams arranged by Mark Tatum are already obvious, and they want these hot rookies to compete.

For example, Bogut and Marvin Williams are in the first team respectively, and Deron Williams and Paul, the two best point guards, are also in the same team.

The others are also big favorites in the lottery area, among which Ling Yang seems a bit abrupt.

However, after all, Ling Yang gave everyone a surprise in the physical test yesterday, so everyone is looking forward to what Ling Yang will do when he puts these outstanding young players on the court to compete with these outstanding young players.

Afterwards, Mark Tatum read one group after another until everyone was divided into groups, signaling the two teams in Group A to play.

So, 10 people began to walk onto the court.

The difference from the previous day's training was that today's competition was open to the public, so all reporters could enter. There were obviously more people in the auditorium than yesterday.

Standing on the court, Ling Yang felt both nervous and excited.

The 10 players on the field are all quasi-NBA players. Ling Yang feels that every cell in his body is excited to be able to play with them.

"Di!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the ball was thrown up.

In terms of physical talent, Bynum, who does not yet have the title of Shark, is naturally better than Bogut, so the ball easily fell to the White team.

The ball was handed over to Deron Williams, and as soon as he entered the half court and fell beyond the three-point line, Deron Williams suddenly started to force Paul.

It really was Deron who beat Paul while eating and sleeping.

Paul was also a little caught off guard by Deron's move, and he didn't keep up with the pace all of a sudden.

Ling Yang, who was standing near the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, saw that Delong was going to break through from here, and almost without thinking, he moved forward to help defend.

But when he was halfway there, he found that Deron flicked the ball and threw it beyond the three-point line.

"Fuck, pass the ball!"

Realizing this, Ling Yang slammed on the brakes, and then quickly rushed towards Granger who was catching the ball.

Ling Yang's movement undoubtedly brightened the eyes of many people who were watching the game on the sidelines. Ling Yang's agility ranks first among all rookies, and his excellent moving speed is revealed at this moment. undoubtedly.

But Ling Yang on the field, when he rushed back half a step in front of Granger, saw the opponent raise the ball and wanted to shoot, he immediately jumped up high.

He didn't think about blocking the opponent, but he hoped to interfere with the opponent's shooting.

However, when he was in the air, Ling Yang found that there was... nothing in front of him.

"It's over, I was shaken."

Ling Yang suddenly figured this out, but at the moment he jumped too fast and could only fly out following the inertia.

When he turned his head after landing, he saw Granger taking off and shooting easily within the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Granger made an easy shot and the Whites took their first possession.

This scene made the eyes of scouts and managers who had bright eyes calm down quite a bit.

Although it was just a ball just now, many things can be seen.

To be honest, Granger's feint was not very good, but Ling Yang flew at one point, and with such force, it fully exposed Ling Yang's lack of experience and judgment on the court.

Just playing with his body and feeling, this is the impression Ling Yang gave everyone in his first round on the court.

And in the next few rounds of offense and defense, Ling Yang's performance once again left everyone with a deeper impression.

After all, this is a quasi-NBA-level game!

Even if Ling Yang's physical talent is excellent, there is even a system bonus.

But if you haven't experienced it, you haven't experienced it, Ling Yang is very uncomfortable.

Whether it's offense or defense, there is a very obvious gap between Ling Yang and the other 9 players on the field.

This gap is a gap in awareness and ability to read the game.

Reflected on the field, Ling Yang on the offensive end basically cannot get too good a chance to catch the ball.

Paul just passed him an open ball, but shooting is his strong point, so there is no doubt that he has hit the iron.

On the defensive end, Ling Yang looks very active, but it is always easy to bring loopholes to his team's defense.

Generally speaking, Ling Yang is not on the same channel as the other nine players in terms of game rhythm.

"He really hasn't played a game before!"

At this moment, everyone finally believed in Ling Yang's experience.
