Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

"Let that guy go up and try?"

Adelman was actually a little surprised.

The reason is simple, he doesn't think it's a good idea to choose Beverly. At present, that guy with a rather irritable personality has not shown much value.

Offensively, although his basic skills are still solid, previous scouting reports show that his assist rate and turnover rate are almost the same. The success rate of the organization basically depends on who is on the court with him.

If he is on the second team, it will be difficult to have a clear advantage in offense.

As for defense...well, although Adelman saw comments such as "passionate and defensively focused" written in the scout report, his height is only 185cm. With such a height, he will face a point guard as short as him.

It's okay, but once the opponent is a player with strong physical fitness like Harden or even James, it is obviously not good enough.

Adelman doesn't think this is a bias. He doesn't have much patience to use precious games for players like Beverley to prove his worth.

However, Lian Feng seems to have an innately strong intuition when it comes to reading people... Well, Marc Gasol is the best example. Who would have thought that a player who was picked in the second round could really

He has been playing in the NBA. If at the beginning of last season he was still a little worried about the damage caused to the Hornets' inside line after Tyson Chandler left, this season he can only be thankful that he was able to correct Gasol.

Because of Lian Feng, the team management agreed to give Beverley a chance to try out.

As for whether he can catch it or not, it depends on him.

Of course, it is impossible to use the precious No. 6 or No. 13 picks to sign Beverley. Even if it were not for the serial striker, the second-round pick may not be used on him.

But at this time, Adelman was also curious about what kind of ability this Beverley had that could enter Lian Feng's field of vision.

Adelman nodded, and after a timeout, Beverley replaced Curry.

Beverley was carefully observing James Harden's offensive habits, but the sudden pause made him slightly startled.

Then, he heard the assistant coach say to him: "Boy, go up."

Beverly suddenly became excited: "Can I play? Thank you, coach!"

The assistant coach shook his head: "You don't have to thank me. In fact, if you want to thank me, you have to thank Lian Feng over there. It's a bit crazy to say that he seems to think highly of you. You can participate in the trial training and can appear at this time.

, all because of his advice.”

Beverly suddenly felt an indescribable complex emotion. He turned around and glanced at Lian Feng, then silently clenched his fists.

Beverly, Beverly, don't let down those who trust you!

While silently cheering himself up, he took a deep breath and stepped onto the court.

Harden was a little surprised when he saw Beverley replaced on the opposite side. To be honest, he didn't think highly of Beverley.

He doesn't think Beverley is a player who can play in the NBA. His body shape does not mean that he can't play, but his skills really need to reach a certain level. Unfortunately, Beverley has not reached that level yet.

After so many years of AI, there is only one.

While I was thinking this, the whistle blew and the game started.

Harden holds the ball and organizes the offense.

Although it hasn't been long, Harden is already completely familiar with the offensive habits of the players on both sides, and after the two forwards leave the court, other players don't feel that pressure, so he plays more and more freely.

Beverly? There's no way that guy can defend himself.

At this moment, Beverley made a move that surprised everyone. Facing Harden, he lightly patted the floor, meaning...come over?

Adelman was startled for a moment, then laughed and said to Lian Feng: "This guy's courage really surprised me."

Lian Feng said nothing and continued to watch the game, with a smile on his lips.

Indeed, one can underestimate Beverley. However, this definitely does not include his defensive ability.

Many people think that Beverley was selected to the All-Defensive First Team because of his dirty moves. It is undeniable that he did make moves that hurt other players, but if he can get the Defensive First Team just by relying on this, then in a certain year

It’s time to give Grayson Allen the defensive line.

It is even more undesirable to question his defensive ability based on his short stature. Lian Feng remembers that Beverley can defend players like Durant.

Then, Harden began to try to attack. Gasol was about to come up to cover, but Harden pushed him away. He wanted the kid in front of him to figure out how big the gap was between him and the top rookies.

At this moment, Beverley suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. Harden was startled and quickly controlled the ball to control the distance. But Beverley chased Harden like a fierce hyena and refused to let go.

Harden tried to break through, but couldn't get past Beverley's defense.

Adelman was a little surprised and looked at Lian Feng.

Lian Feng smiled slightly: "Coach, many people can only see Beverley's height, but ignore his wingspan. Although he is 185cm, his wingspan is 202cm!"

"He has top lateral movement speed, which makes it difficult for many face-to-face offenses to break through his defense."

In this round, Harden's aggressive singles attack on Beverley failed, and in the end he could only step back and shoot.

Lian Feng continued: "In addition, the interesting thing about Beverley is that he doesn't care about hard defensive indicators such as blocks and steals. He cares about higher-level things."

"What is that?"

Lian Feng was about to answer when Ibaka received a pass from his teammate and successfully dunked on DeRozan in the penalty area, causing a commotion.

The eyes of Lian Feng and Adelman were also attracted. In the following rounds, Harden began to stop insisting on singles and let Gasol come up to pick and roll.

At this moment, Lian Feng's eyes lit up, "This is it!"

Adelman saw Beverley bypass the pick-and-roll, and then worked with his teammates to stop Harden's pick-and-roll attack.

He hasn't seen much yet.

Lian Feng said: "Have you seen that when defending the pick-and-roll, Beverley can not only rely on his small body to quickly follow the position, but also use his fingertips to slightly interfere with the ball, either to steal or to deliberately interfere. This is very critical.

...Kevin was unable to smoothly choose outside bombs or shots, which at least created half a second for his teammates who were assisting him in defense!"

"Individual defense is very important, and Beverley also knows how to use some small details to mobilize the overall defensive ability. You know, the situation on the court is changing rapidly. As long as you can save a flash of light for your teammates, you can mobilize the overall defensive deterrence.

.And this is something that cannot be measured by red data.”

Adelman has fallen silent.

Lian Feng continued: "The more important point is that no matter who is chosen as our point guard, he needs a substitute, and Beverley, I think he is very suitable for this job."

Adelman laughed and said, "Okay, no need to say more, you convinced me yourself. We will sign that kid with a second-round pick. Of course, the prerequisite is that he is not picked up in the front position."

"As for the No. 6 pick, let's all agree and give priority to Curry."

"The No. 13 pick is reserved for DeRozan. If he is picked at the front position, then... well, let's see!"

Lian Feng smiled.

This is the result he wants.
