The Basketball Court Swordsman

Compared with the 22 teams in the Las Vegas Summer League, the eight teams in the Orlando Summer League look somewhat shabby. But even so, Vogel's enthusiasm for winning the championship cannot be extinguished. If the summer league can lead the team well this time, his career may go further!

Of course, for Henson, this is also his best opportunity to show his value.

"Wesley, change your defenses faster, faster! James Harden won't wait for you to react before speeding up. As long as you hesitate for a little bit, you will be dealt with. If the opponent is passed, your defense will be Failure. Defensive failure, your chances of signing a guarantee contract are reduced!" Henson's voice echoed on the open training field. Since Henson became the temporary assistant coach of the Summer League, his climbing speed is fast. Percy was surprised.

Now he can not only shout in the game, even during training, Henson can also shout so twice. Frank Vogel's throat never improved, so Henson became the most powerful microphone. Of course, Vogel knew well that Henson was more than just a microphone. When he shouts, he always adds some of his thinking and understanding of the game.

Wesley Matthews came to the training center the day after Henson went to find him and signed the non-guaranteed contract. Although just "transfer" from the Thunder to the Pacers, Matthews did not slacken in the training ground.

"Holedi, calm down! The opponent's defense is not that strong, we don't have to play so anxiously." Henson yelled again, which is also not what Vogel asked Henson to say.

Holiday is very willing to listen to Henson, because after a few games, every time he listens to Henson, he can achieve good results. Of the three coaches, Holiday also trusted Henson the most.

Frank Vogel was a good man, but he kept suppressing Holiday's offensive desire. Dennis Posey? Percy is an idiot. Only Henson can make Holledi feel that he is playing happily and he can win by the way.

Training is going on in full swing, and all young people hope that tomorrow they will be able to pick the flowers down and win a championship. After chatting, they can pat their chests and say: I am the one who won the NBA championship!

One day's training ended with Henson's shout and the sweat of the players. The team is in very good shape, and the Pacers are not high-ranked rookies, and there is no idea of ​​looking down on the summer league.

"Well, today's training everyone performed very well. Take a good shower, tomorrow, we are not allowed to fail!" Henson summoned all the players and said briefly, then clapped their hands to signal everyone to disband.

"That, coach." After all the players dispersed, only Wesley Matthews stood still.

"What's the matter with Matthews?" Henson looked at Matthews happily. This guy's performance in training fulfilled what he saw.

"I just wanted to say...thank you." Matthews lowered his head, and he was a little embarrassed when he remembered his attitude towards Henson yesterday.

"Thank you? Thank you when you can enter the official rotation of the Pacers. You still have a long way to go, kid." Henson patted Matthews on the shoulder and suddenly had a plan. "If you really Want to thank me and show me James Harden tomorrow!"

Matthews couldn't help clenching his fists, James Harden? When I was training with the Thunder before, it was not that I didn't have to guard against the flower...

On July 11, the 2009 NBA Orlando Summer League Finals. Although the term "Finals" sounds very exaggerated, in fact only more than a thousand people attended the game today. In a small arena, there are still vacancies found.

Regardless of whether this game is concerned or not, Henson and Vogel are ready to give it a go. But before that, Wesley Matthews encountered a very embarrassing question.

Because this is the second day he joined the team, the Pacers did not have time to prepare Matthews' jersey. What Matthews got was a "bareboard" training jersey for the Pacers, with no name or number on it. According to the rules of the summer league, Matthews can't just wear such a jersey with nothing.

"This...I can't just sign him and not let him play." Vogel is still bargaining with the referee, and the referee is actually very difficult to do, they just act according to the rules.

Seeing that the referee made no concessions, Henson suddenly found a way.

"As long as there is a number on his jersey, right?" Henson pushed away the anxious Vogel. Compared to Vogel, Henson was very calm at this time.

"Yes, but he can't wear other people's jerseys." The referee definitely gave Henson a nod.

"No problem, Frank, give me paper and pen!" Henson said, took out a large white paper, and wrote Matthews' number, number 2 on it.

Finally, Henson used transparent adhesive tape to paste a square piece of paper on Matthews' abdomen and back.

"Go, you can play now!" Henson patted Matthews on the back, and Matthews opened his hands and looked at his jersey. It was funny!

The referee almost couldn't help laughing, but let him go. As long as it meets the regulations, he doesn't want to embarrass Henson.

In this way, there was a burst of laughter at the scene. Because on the court, Matthews, a guy who even wrote his jersey number temporarily, appeared on the court.

The Thunder's coaching staff showed more disdain. Do you think you can guard James Harden with a guy who was just cut off by me?

"It's really interesting. The Pacers didn't even have time to prepare the jersey for Wesley Matthews. Because he was still playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder three days ago." Since today is the finals, eSPN also gave this. The game was broadcast live. Of course, there is no live commentary for this game, and all commentary work is done in the studio.

After the game began, the Thunder took the lead in fighting for the ball. Harden personally held the ball for more than half of the time, and Wesley Matthews began to put pressure on Harden as soon as he passed the midfield line!

The two are entangled together, and it doesn't even seem like a summer league, but a real NBA regular season!

Matthews turned the unwillingness and anger in his heart into strength. Didn't you abandon me? Now, I will immediately make you regret it!

Harden obviously didn't expect his former teammate to be so excited today that he was forced to stop the ball for a while.

"Wesley Matthews, this guy actually stopped the search! Many fans ask me who Matthews is? I also want to know! The only information I have is that he is a loser." The narrator was frightened by this little-known guard. A rookie with such a strong defense was not selected?

Harden had no choice but to give the ball to the No. 24 rookie in the first round of this year, ready to come up to cover Harden's white center Byron Mullens.

After Mullens held the ball, he immediately struck Harden on the spot and helped Harden delay Matthews' defense. Harden took advantage of this opportunity to kill the inside line and prepare for a layup, but Danny Green, who rushed in the diagonal thrust, gave a **** shot!

"Nice block! Danny Green, this guy's judgment on the defensive situation is really accurate!"

Harden turned his head and glanced in surprise, this guy was still near the three-point line just now, so why did he rush over so soon! ?

Before everyone opened their mouths to recover from their shock, Zhu Huo Ledi had already got the basketball that was fanned out in a thunderous manner, and then ran quickly!

Little Holiday's athletic ability is definitely underestimated by everyone. Once this guy rushes, the Thunder won't be able to catch up.

With a light one-handed buckle, Hollodi rose into the sky like a uFo equipped with an anti-gravity device, completely igniting the curtain of the finals.

"Good job, **** beautiful!" Henson couldn't help but wave his fist from the sidelines. This is the blood that basketball brings to people.

Harden was a bit unwilling, because he was too careless just now to not observe Danny Green's sudden attack. As long as you can play slowly, it is not difficult to score on the Pacers. Didn't he easily score 24 points in the last match between the two sides?

Harden didn't know that he scored 24 points in the last game against the Pacers, precisely because Matthews helped him attract too much defensive attention.

Matthews still opened his arms in front of Harden, and now, no one dared to laugh at that jersey who didn't even have a number in the draft.

Harden beckoned to cover, which was his favorite way of launching an offense. While in Arizona, he was used to playing screens with Jordan Hill.

But Byron Mullens's screen quality is obviously not as high as Jordan Hill, and Wesley Matthews's toughness is also beyond the reach of opponents Harden has met in the past.

Harden bypassed the cover and was about to accelerate, but Wesley Matthews immediately posted it again!

"That guy Henson really found a baby." Bird watching the game in front of the TV had a good impression of Matthews, and the scout report submitted by Henson was still true.

"This guy is not only physically strong, but also very willing to defend. You know, the defensive attitude determines the quality of a player's defense. If you need a star player, Matthews may not be able to satisfy. But if you need someone who dares to play on the court Fighting lunatic, I can guarantee that no one is better than him!"

This sentence in Henson's scout report has been reflected in Matthews at this time.

Harden's breakthrough layup was again missed by Matthews' strong interference. Danny Green took the rebound and a long pass from the backcourt. Holiday once again swept across the court with a lightning stance.

Harden looked at Matthews, but his former teammate still looked resolute, and seemed ready to fight Harden to the end.

The coaching staff of the Thunder Summer League must now have MMP in their hearts. Why does Matthews become like a different person in the Pacers?

Holiday, Matthews, and Danny Green, Vogel looked at the three young men, and then at Henson who had picked them by himself.

Vogel suddenly understood that the most dazzling player in this summer league may not be him, nor the young players, but the temporary assistant coach.
