The glory of the center

Chapter 5 Team Training Competition

When participating in the team's training for the first time, Zhao Yue naturally wants to say hello to the team's bosses. Of course, the first thing to do is the core of the team, Nash. Nash, a player, has to say that someone once said, "The Sun is a strong team. As long as Steve Nash is still in the Sun, then the Sun is definitely one The team in the playoffs!" Let's not worry about who said this sentence, but we don't doubt the authenticity of this sentence at all, so Nash is the absolute core of the Sun, so even if he has just entered the league, he is still a second-in-rate kid who can become the best rookie in the rookie season, and the two of them have also created an era of Sun Storm together.

After getting to know all his teammates, head coach Erwin Gentry made his debut. As the replacement of Mike D'Anthony, Gentry continued D's bombardment tactics, because this team has Nash, and there will be no problem with artillery bombardment.

Zhao Yue now has strength. Of course, he wants to get a starting position in the team, so he has several competitors in front of him, first of whom is Qian Ning Fry, but Zhao Yue does not need to worry too much, because Qian Ning Fry has always been a power forward in the team, so he can compete with Zhao Yue for the starting center. There is only one person in the position, Robin Lopez, a big man with very solid skills, but he doesn't seem to be suitable for the Sun's tactics, because his speed is not fast enough, which is Zhao Yue's biggest advantage in competing for the starting center.

Gintree said, "Guys, get ready. Let's play a team training match. Steve, Jason, Xidu, Jared, Zhao of Team A, Grant, Golan, Channing, Robin and Earl of Team B. Let's prepare first and start in five minutes!"

Looking at the lineup of the two teams, Team A has two main forces, Nash and Richardson, and Team B has two main forces, Hill and Fry. Now it mainly depends on the competition in the center position, but Gentry arranged Zhao Yue in Nash's team, which is equivalent to saying in disguise that he wants to put Zhao Yue into the starting lineup, a few old goals of the team. Members, such as Nash, Richardson, Hill, Trucoglu and Fry, have basically understood what the coach means.

Five minutes later, the training game officially began. As the assistant coach threw the ball, Zhao Yue and Lopez jumped up almost at the same time, but Zhao Yue first touched the ball and assigned the ball to Tekoglu. Tekoglu handed the ball to Nash. Nash took the ball through the half and made the ball as strong in the surprised eyes of the whole audience. The basket was thrown over.

With a loud bang, everyone quickly looked at the basket and saw Zhao Yue holding the basket with both hands, and the basket trembled under his pull of nearly 300 pounds.

What the hell happened? Please listen to the author tell everyone that while Zhao Yue jumped the ball and allocated the ball to Tekgoglu, he also rushed to the half. Nash, as the top point guard in the league, of course, saw such a good opportunity for a quick attack, so he rushed through the half and threw the ball up. Zhao Yue rushed up. Come on, grab the ball in the air with both hands and press it vigorously towards the basket. A wonderful air relay cooperates. On the sidelines, Gentry applauded hard and shouted, "Good ball! Just fight like this! Hit our fast attack!"

Then Team B's counterattack also arrived. Dragic controlled the ball after half-time, and the rest of Team B kept running. The ball was passed to Hill's hand. Hill shot in the middle distance.

Team A's attack, I have to say that Nash's control of the rhythm of the game is indeed super-class. He quickly dribbled the ball through the half of the game, hit the ground and passed the ball, and the ball was handed over to Richardson. The old dunk king was not allowed, and holding the ball was a tomahawk dunk.

Then Team B was not willing to show weakness. Dragic controlled the ball and chose to attack himself after half-time and rushed into the inside line to throw a shot. In fact, Zhao Yue had a good chance to give Dragic a big hat, but before the game, Nash told him: "In the team training game, you don't have to play too seriously, as long as you defend your opposition. Players, you don't have to worry about the rest. After all, they are all from the same team, and you are a rookie. You don't need to be too sharp.

Zhao Yue naturally wanted to listen to the team's boss, so the goal just now was not blocked, and Gentry didn't say anything on the sidelines.

Team A continued to attack. This time, Zhao Yue came out to help Nash block and block Dragic. Lopez quickly came out to make up for the defense. The opportunity came. Nash hit the ground and passed the ball, and the ball just came to Zhao Yue. Naturally, Zhao Yue would not waste such a good opportunity. He dribbled two steps of the ball, jumped up, and held the ball to the basket with his right hand. Bite, one-arm tomahawk heavy dunk, this is Zhao Yue's favorite dunk method.

Gintree on the sidelines said to his assistant, "It's a good rookie, which is very suitable for our tactics, and the offensive intention is also very good. Although the defensive awareness is not very good, this can be trained. Robin is slightly worse than others." Gentry directly positioned Zhao Yue on his weak defensive consciousness just because he did not make up for Dragic's throw. If Zhao Yue knew what Gentry was thinking, he would probably be angry to death. It was just his own low profile.

The assistant next to Gentry said, "Yes, now that Amarley has left, we need a strong inside line to fill his position. Obviously, Zhao is more suitable than Robin, and Zhao is still very young. He is only 18 years old and has a lot of room for progress."

Gintree said, "I really don't know what the management is thinking. They only gave him a two-year contract for such a potential rookie!"

His assistant said, "Forget it, it's not bad. No one can tell what will happen in two years. Let's play the season in front of us first."

The half-hour team training match was over soon. Gentry was very satisfied. At least he was very satisfied with Zhao Yue. In 30 minutes, Zhao Yue got 14 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks, and Gentry had decided to put him in the team's starting lineup.

Obviously, Zhao Yue did not show all his strength in this training match, otherwise, it would be a small matter of taking 20 points at his current level. As Nash said, it's just an in-team training match. Don't be too serious.

Time flies. In a few days, the preseason will begin. After the preseason, it will be the regular season of the new season. It's time for Zhao Yue to fly to the sky.
