After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

Then there was a group confrontation. O'Brien arranged Su Jiuyun in the blue team, and the Mavericks exchanged the No. 17 pick for guard Jared Cunningham and center Bernard. James and small forward Jack Crowder were grouped together, and an undrafted power forward was added to their team.

However, Su Jiuyun was assigned to play shooting guard and Cunningham was assigned to play point guard. Su Jiuyun had no objection either.

The opponent was a white team composed of the Mavericks' water dispenser managers from last season + undrafted players + development league players. Su Jiuyun couldn't remember their names, mainly because the names were long, and some blacks really couldn't remember their faces.

After the game started, the opponent served the ball. Su Jiuyun found that the white team basically had no cooperation. After a dazzled dribble with the ball, a little black shot Cunningham in the face from a mid-range distance.

It was the turn of the blue team to attack, and Cunningham took possession of the ball across the half court. After making a gesture, Bernard James stepped forward to give him a pick and roll, and then opened it, but Cunningham failed to score the ball immediately. Go out, but missed the opportunity.

Su Jiuyun suddenly cut inside, this time Cunningham saw the opportunity, but his passing motive was too obvious and was destroyed, but the ball was caught by Claude.

O'Brien frowned. It seemed that Cunningham couldn't play the point guard.

Su Jiuyun suddenly ran back and reached out to Claude to pick it up. Seeing that it was the boss, Claude had no choice but to pass the ball reluctantly.

While receiving the ball, Su Jiuyun gave Claude a gesture, which meant to let him cut into the inside.

This guy Claude actually understood it, and suddenly cut inside, Su Jiuyun took advantage of the situation and threw the ball to the basket, Claude still had a lot of momentum when he charged.

He leaped high, then pressed the white team's center forward, and with a "boom", dunked the ball into the basket.

After receiving Su Jiuyun's assist and dunk, Claude went crazy, yelled a few times, punched his chest a few times, then looked at Su Jiuyun who was walking back to the backcourt, and gave him a thumbs up.

Su Jiuyun picked it up and gave him a thumbs up.

But he just can't figure it out, so why not just yell, why punch yourself a few times?What is wrong with this?

When O'Brien and the other assistant coaches saw Su Jiuyun's pass, their eyes lit up, and they discovered something new. This guy's ball intelligence and passing are really as mentioned in the draft report.

Is it possible to develop him as a point guard?

Before, no one thought that the reason why Su Jiuyun could play point guard was that his ball-handling skills were a bit poor, but O'Brien could tell from Su Jiuyun and Crowder's heads-up that Su Jiuyun's ball-handling skills were far beyond everyone's expectations .

O'Brien suddenly thought of the benefits of Su Jiuyun playing point guard.

The height of 198 in shoes can kill a lot of point guards in seconds, and more importantly, this height has the speed that only short point guards have, even faster in straight line acceleration.

On the offensive end, Su Jiuyun can use his straight-line breakthrough speed and his physical strength comparable to a powerful small forward. He is simply LeBron James on the point guard line.

And he also has a qualified mid-range shot. Even though his three-point ability is a little bit worse, his destructive ability on the offensive end is absolutely top-notch.

On the defensive end, good one-on-one defense ability and speed can defend any guard, and he is not afraid of the opponent's misplaced singles. With this height and strength, he has no problem at all against small forwards.

And because of the advantage of height and wingspan, it can give the opponent's point guard a huge pressure.

The more O'Brien thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that Su Jiuyun perfectly suited his offensive tactics in which everyone could be used as an offensive starting point and organized by dribbling.

While he was thinking wildly, Crowder and Su Jiuyun jointly defended the white team's offense. Cunningham took the basketball from the center forward and was about to walk to the frontcourt.

Suddenly he heard the coach outside the court shouting to him:

"Give Sue the ball, let him play point guard, and you play shooting guard."

Unwillingly, Cunningham passed the ball to Su Jiuyun who was also taken aback.

For some reason, the coach suddenly asked him to play point guard, but it was exactly what he wanted.

After receiving the basketball, he slowly dribbled it to the frontcourt, and then made a gesture for a pick-and-roll.

This time the center still pulled out the pick-and-roll, and Su Jiuyun used his pick-and-roll to break through.

The center forward went inside. Su Jiuyun's height gave him a good line of sight. He didn't pass it out immediately because he saw that the small forward on the other side had moved over and wanted to make up for it.

So Su Jiuyun pressed two more steps in, taking advantage of the situation to break into the inside line, and the opponent's defenders could only come to defend him.

Then the rest is simple, the center rockets into the air, and the alley-oop dunk ends the offense.

After scoring the goal, Bernard James also came to high-five Su Jiuyun excitedly.

"Su, your pass is great, very comfortable, and I dunk it very well."

"Okay, I'll send you another one later."

Bernard was excited for a reason, not just because of the thrill of a dunk, but because he did everything a blue-collar center should do from the pick-and-roll to the dunk, and he did it in front of the coach.

What is the summer league for? Adapting to the game is a point, and it is also the arena where everyone strives for their position in the team and how much playing time they can get in the next season.

And the same is true for the white team on the opposite side. Everyone likes to express themselves whenever they have a chance, so the white team basically doesn't have any tactics, at most it is a simple pick-and-roll, and more is individual singles.

O'Brien will not arrange any tactics either. This is a test match against players, and it has a direct relationship with who can play in tomorrow's game.

In the next game, the blue team unilaterally slaughtered the white team. Because of Su Jiuyun's organization, everyone had a chance to perform.

Even the players of the white team are jealous of the players of the blue team, because there is someone who can pass the ball to them and can pass the ball well. of.

It's a pity that their white team's point guard is not good, especially under Su Jiuyun's defense, there is no good chance to play the ball at all.

In the entire blue team and white team's confrontation training, the most dazzling person was Su Jiuyun.

Because he's everywhere on defense and offense.

On the defensive end, the opponent's point guard couldn't get out of the way, and he chased the cap twice.

The offensive end frequently uses his strong body and speed to rush in, and then passes the ball to the open player before the opponent's help defense arrives.

Whether it is attacking the basket by himself, or making an emergency stop for a mid-range shot, it can be said that among the 10 players at both ends of the court, he is the one that stands out from the crowd.

O'Brien was no longer surprised, but ecstatic. He felt that it was a waste of Su Jiuyun's coming to play in the summer league. It would be better to go back and ask the assistant staff to make a training plan for him.

But after thinking about it, we still have to see if he can perform in this training match in actual combat.
