Chapter 9 Challenging Levels

Pierce broke through from the top of the arc with the ball, and his continuous footwork changes did not shake Yang Shuai away. Suddenly, there was an emergency stop, and Yang Shuai quickly rushed forward. "Beep!" The assistant coach's whistle sounded. Yang Shuai committed a foul.

.

"This little guy still doesn't have enough experience, but it's enough, isn't it, Doug?" Danny Ainge said happily to Doc Rivers.

Rivers nodded and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, his offense seems to be too bad." It is indeed very bad. Yang Shuai, who has been on the field for so long, only made one shot that he failed to score, and this time the shot was in the hands of his teammates.

He only took action after yelling, and the rest of the time he basically didn't even touch the ball.

"As a human being, you must know how to make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!" Handsome guy Yang kept telling himself this.

At this moment, the court changed again. Pierce used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Yang Shuai. After being trapped in a double-team, he distributed the ball to Telfer who cut straight to the basket.

After receiving the ball, Telfer had no one in front of him. He adjusted his rhythm slightly. He lifted the ball with his right hand and the ball flew towards the basket.

Just when Telfer was about to enjoy the sound of the ball falling into the basket, "Get down!" a voice came from the side.

"Snapped!"

Then a hand with unfamiliar skin appeared in front of his eyes. This hand slapped the ball that just flew out unceremoniously, making a crisp sound.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The ball flew directly out of bounds and landed on the ground with a dull sound.

"This is called defense!" Yang Shuai, who blocked a shot for the first time in his life, jumped up excitedly and shouted towards Telfer, without caring about the opponent's already blue face.

"Yes! Well done, Yang, very good!" Rivers clapped and laughed at the side. It was so unexpected. He still felt like this at this moment. He didn't expect that the person he bumped into turned out to be a good person.

Guy, Yang Shuai's defensive defense just now finally made him believe Yang Shuai's words. This is a guy with a very good defense.

"Boy, you are too arrogant!" Telfer shouted at Yang Shuai displeasedly. It was not that he had not been overshadowed by others, but Yang Shuai's excessive performance after blocking the shot made him extremely unhappy. No matter what, he was also

He is an old man in the NBA, but Yang Shuai is just a rookie.

"This is called defense! Isn't it?" Yang Shuai didn't care about the other party's dissatisfaction at all, and said with a smile. Whether others are happy or not has nothing to do with him. As long as he is happy, that's all.

"God, I'm sure Yang will become a problem." Rivers slapped his forehead and muttered to himself, but now, he had to go up and separate these two guys who were full of gunpowder.

Just when he was about to stop Telfer from saying some unworthy words, another person stood up, and that was the team's star, Paul Pierce. Update

Paul Pierce has a great impression of Yang Shuai, who has good defensive skills. He felt that the team's defense last season was absolutely terrible. He discussed this issue with the coach. Doc Rivers once promised that the team would

Improved this season. When he saw Yang Shuai, he had a good impression.

Although this guy seems to have a bad temper, it has nothing to do with him. In this team, no one dares to challenge his authority, at least he thinks so, so he fully believes that he can restrain Yang Shuai, a thorn in his side.

head.

"Sebastian, maybe Yang is just too excited. This is his first time participating in such a training." When Paul Pierce patted Telfer on the shoulder and said this, he originally wanted to curse.

The latter put his words back, then nodded and walked to the sidelines. Rivers had already announced that the game was over.

Is this okay? Yang Shuai's eyes widened instantly as he watched Pierce's casual words make Telfer behave.

"Perhaps, I should become the boss of a team." The handsome guy Yang, who has not yet joined the team, suddenly had such an idea in his mind. He felt that only in this way can he be worthy of his status.

Thinking that there is a mysterious space in his body, handsome boy Yang is very confident. For the first time, he has a good impression of space. Of course, the premise is that space can really bring him everything he needs.

While the players were communicating with each other, Rivers began to take the statistics in the hands of the assistant coach and look at them, and then his eyes fell on Pierce's statistics.

When Gomez was defending, Pierce took 8 shots and hit 6. When Yang Shuai was defending, Pierce only took 5 shots and hit 2. The defensive time of the two was almost equal.

Seeing this, Rivers smiled. This may be due to Pierce's decline in touch, but combined with the decline in Pierce's shots and the fact that he couldn't get the ball in several rounds on the court, he quickly made a decision.

He looked up at general manager Danny Ainge and found that the other person nodded slightly, and he waved Yang Shuai over.

"Doug, I think you must have made a decision." Yang Shuai said confidently.

Rivers nodded and said: "Yes, Yang, I have made the decision. Next, you will accompany the team to participate in the summer league."

"Can I think that I am already a member of the team?" Yang Shuai said happily with a sunny smile.

"No! no! no!" Rivers interrupted quickly: "Your performance is good, but I need to observe it for a longer time. If you perform better in the summer league, the team will choose to keep you.

, look, man, those guys want the team to give them a contract."

"Of course, no problem." Yang Shuai continued to smile. As long as the opponent is interested in his defense, as for his performance, he will only get better and better, because every day, his defense may improve a small step.

, and as far as he knew, the level of players in the summer league was not that high, so he decided to defend every opponent so that they could not find him.

After bidding farewell to Rivers and agreeing on a time to participate in the game, Yang Shuai left the arena happily and returned to the rental house under the unfriendly eyes of Gomez and Telfer. There was no way he could be unhappy.

, he has already seen the dollar beckoning to him, and perhaps there are beauties besides the dollar.

"Perhaps, we should tell Jim." Lying on the bed, Yang Shuai murmured to himself, "Forget it, wait another half month."

After gently pressing the silver mark on his forehead three times, Yang Shuai's eyes flashed with white light, and he had entered the space. He needed to carry out today's training.

In the next half month, Yang Shuai officially participated in the summer league with the team. Under Rivers's emphasis, the assistant coach led the team directly placed him in his position. His defensive skills and experience also improved during this half month.

There has been a qualitative change.

No one abroad would pay attention to a player who participated in the summer league with the team without being drafted. The domestic media also devoted all their attention to Yi Jianlian. Yang Shuai did not have much appeal at this time. Most of them

Chinese basketball fans don't know that in distant Boston, a 20-year-old young man is about to join the NBA.

If Yang Shuai's statistics were eye-catching, he might have attracted others' attention early, but his statistics are not to mention eye-catching, even a bit miserable. For a player, averaging 25 points, 32 rebounds and 05 assists per game is really shabby.

Already.

Although the Celtics coaches knew that all of Yang Shuai's attention was devoted to defense, and his defensive skills were also noticed and greatly appreciated by Rivers, outsiders did not notice this.

However, there are still some people in China who discovered the existence of Yang Shuai. This all happened after the Chinese national team played against the Celtics in the summer league.

When they saw that China's two major outsiders Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng could not find the basket under the defense of an oriental face, when they saw that China's offense could not be started at all, many domestic fans exclaimed, this person

who is it?

Who is this person? Where did this person with an oriental face appear? When the game started, the live media began to look for information.

Yang Shuai, Chinese!

When the live broadcaster announced that Yang Shuai was Chinese, the basketball fans who were watching the live broadcast were so surprised that they could not add: When will another Chinese person enter the NBA? Or an outside player. No one answered all this, except who knew him

Apart from his name and height, domestic media do not have any information about Yang Shuai.

After the game, when many media learned that Yang Shuai did not have any contract with the Celtics, combined with Yang Shuai's data, unfortunately, Yang Shuai was ignored again, and the media's attention was still

Focus on Yi Jianlian.

Maybe you will find a small piece of this report from some reports: "Chinese player Yang Shuai participated in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Celtics and played, and his performance was mediocre."

That's all.

All of this changed on the second day after the summer league ended, after a piece of news that caused a sensation in the NBA. Yang Shuai was officially reported by the domestic media for the first time.

At the end of July, an official piece of news from the Celtics caused a sensation as soon as it appeared. The Celtics sent Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomez, and Sebastian Terre

Phil, Theo Ratliff and two future first-round picks, plus some cash, were acquired from the Timberwolves in exchange for Kevin Garnett.

Following this, the team officially offered a contract offer to undrafted Chinese player Yang Shuai to supplement the team's strength.

"The Celtics form the terrifying Big Three!" "The Celtics dynasty is resurrected!" "The Greens are scheduled to win the championship!"

After a series of reports, the domestic media keenly discovered the existence of Yang Shuai, so there were suddenly more reports about Yang Shuai.

"The Chinese forward assists the Big Three!" "True substitute!" "Garnett and Yang Shuai form the Green Army's new defensive system!"

However, after fans clicked on this piece of news, they found that the content inside was really pitiful. Except for a few words about Yang Shuai's performance in the summer league, there was nothing of value.

However, this does not prevent the Chinese people from being interested in Yang Shuai, especially when he is about to appear next to the Big Three.

Just when the outside world started to dig out Yang Shuai's background, handsome guy Yang appeared in the space again, and then claimed to Xiaoqiang that he wanted to challenge the level.

After six months of digestion, coupled with the feeling of defense found in the summer league, handsome young man Yang's confidence began to expand, and he would use this to get through the first level in one go.
