NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

During lunch time, players and team staff ate in the arena's restaurant.

After Yue Yi prepared the meal, he found a seat and sat down.

Yunus sat with the coaching staff and discussed the key points of the team's upcoming training camp while eating.

Yi Di, who had the best relationship with Yue Yi, was dragged together by the Hongyuan Gang. He was a teammate of the same club, and the Hongyuan Gang chatted lively and happily.

There are some small details here that are worthy of Yue Yi's consideration.

Yue Yi's main position is shooting guard. He can also play as a small forward. The national team's starting shooting guard and small forward are No. 7 Wang Shipeng and No. 8 Zhu Ba.

They are all from the Hongyuan team.

As an NBA player, Yue Yi has a high probability that one of the two will occupy the starting position of the national team, and these two are perennial members of the national team.

Zhu Ba is known as the No. 1 small forward in the country. Wang Shipeng's three-point game-winner against Slovenia in 2006 changed the fate of the Chinese team and became the savior of the national team and a hero in the eyes of fans.

Who of the two would be willing to serve as a substitute for an airborne newcomer?

Therefore, the Hongyuan Gang was somewhat hostile to Yue Yi, and Emperor Yi was a member of the Hongyuan Gang. Even if Emperor Yi wanted to take care of Yue Yi, who had just arrived, he had to consider the emotions of his teammates.

Zhu Ba and Wang Shipeng were older than Emperor Yi, and they often took care of their little brother.

Members of other clubs and those with teammates naturally sat together by themselves.

The only member of the club team selected by the national team, they gather together to keep warm. Compared to Yue Yi, they are in the same league and usually interact more with each other. Many of them know each other from the youth team itself.

These people only met Yue Yi for the first time today, and they were not familiar with them.

He wanted to make friends with Yue Yi, a single player who might become the future core of the national team, but he was afraid that he would be criticized for being a flatterer and would be ostracized by the rest of the team.

At a huge dining table, no player sat with Yue Yi.

Looking around and seeing them talking and laughing, Yue Yi felt a little lonely for no reason.

What the hell, I was the team's little treasure in the Warriors. I was pampered by the head coach, protected by the boss Kidd, and protected by the captain Jackson. Damn it, when I go back to my own home, I act like a foreign aid.

Yue Yi was eating by himself, a dinner plate was placed opposite him, and a voice sounded in his ears

"Eat slowly, we athletes pay attention to chewing carefully."

Yao Ming sat down in front of Yue Yi, his tall body blocking Yue Yi's view in front of him.

"Are you used to it after returning home?"

"Okay.

Yao Ming said softly:"You have just joined the national team and everyone is not familiar with you. You will be fine in a few days.""

"Well, I'm fine."

Yao Ming took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Yue Yi,"I remember when I first arrived in the United States, I couldn't speak any English, and the team members were all big guys and black guys. It would be very difficult.……"

When talking about life in the NBA, the two had common topics and their conversation was very speculative.

Yao Ming can sit across from him at this time. He is the true team leader.

After one meal, Yue Yi was convinced by him.

Yue Xin thought in her heart: She once used him as a background to gain attention, but instead of targeting her in his absolute home court, he took the initiative to get close to her.

It helped me and it helped the team.

There is a two-hour break at noon, and the players take a lunch break in the room beds in the arena.

This kind of bed is a temporary resting place. There are several beds placed in one room. Yao Ming and Yue Yi live in one room.

Yao Ming came forward to guide Yue Yi, and more people took the initiative to get close to Yue Yi. During the basic training in the afternoon, many people talked and laughed with Yue Yi.

Since it was the first day of training, the intensity of the training was only a warm-up level. After several training groups, head coach Yunus arranged for the newcomers to play a group match.

Yunus has been the head coach of the national team since 2004 and is very familiar with the players of the national team. In this match, all the players who followed him in international competitions sat on the bench to watch the game. A newcomer selected for the national team training list for the first time.

Yue Yi is among them, and he is the key observation object of Yunus.

Yue Yi has never played a game under Yunus. Yunus' knowledge of him is limited to NBA game videos, and Yue Yi has never played in an international basketball game.

The competition rules of international basketball and NBA are quite different.

Yue Yi came on the field wearing a red vest and represented the red team.

His teammates and opponents all come from clubs all over the country. These people performed well in the club and became the team's stars. But when they rise to the level of the national team, these people can only become sparring partners.

The national team's 12-man lineup will only leave two or three places for them at most. After all, many of the big guys of the national team are sitting on the sidelines.

Regardless of their performance in the club or their experience in international competitions, the people sitting on the sidelines are better than they are currently. They are their seniors. These seniors have become real national team members step by step just like they are today.

However, among this group of newcomers who are training, there is one person who will definitely stay in the national team and will be one of the starting five.

As soon as Yue Yi came on the court, all the players became sparring partners.

After catching the ball, at one point, the defensive player flew up. Yue Yi took the time to smile and wanted to cover me.

He didn't bother to draw a foul, so he took a step to one side, shot from mid-range, and hit the ball steadily.

CIC has always been Yue Yi's specialty.

In the next round of offense, the ball was in the hands of Yue Yi. After three threats, he easily got rid of the defensive player and stepped into the penalty area in three steps. The opponent's inside players failed to catch up in time. Yue Yi directly hit the frame with one hand and dunked a.

In the third offensive round, after taking a tentative step outside the three-point line, Yue Yi stood up and shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net.

In the NBA, Yue Yi rarely shoots three-pointers and only takes shots in wide open spaces. Fans know that Yue Yi has not yet developed his three-point ability.

However, Yue Yi's mid-range shot includes the range of a mid-range shot, and he is also very accurate with one step inside the three-point line and two points.

There are three differences between NBA courts and FIBA courts. One of them is that the three-point line distance is different.

The three-point line distance in NBA courts is 7.24 meters, and the three-point line distance in FIBA courts is 6.75 meters.

Although Yue Yi's long two-pointer is not as accurate as mid-range, his accuracy is guaranteed. If there is a certain shooting space, there is no problem with a hit rate of 50%.

In international competitions, three-pointers have become a routine method for Yue Yi.

After getting the ball again, Yue Yi dribbled toward the baseline, but fell into the low post and played a post-up single.

The player guarding him was flustered by his fake moves. Yue Yi ended the red team's offensive round with an easy open lob.

This intensity of confrontation and the defensive player's speed made Yue Yi feel as if the weight on his body had changed from 100 kilograms to 30 kilograms.

One goes with the other, and after the opponent becomes weaker, it becomes apparent that he has become much stronger.

Scoring becomes as simple as picking out a bag.

On the defensive end, the pressure on Yue Yi from the offensive players was minimal. When they faced Yue Yi, they basically chose to pass the ball. A few of them made strong plays and ended up making mistakes.

Seeing Yue Yi dominate both offense and defense, Yi Di laughed and said:"How can such a level of defense guard this guy? I can only treat him as a show off."

Yao Ming laughed,"He averages close to 100% in the NBA. A 20-point scorer, he has the ability."

"The defensive intensity he received was too little, Zhu Ba, you go try him."

Yunas asked the national team's main small forward Zhu Ba to play against Yue Yi.
