Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 704 Xu Yong's stunning performance in the team heads-up match!

As a subordinate league of the NBA, the strength of the Development League team is actually not weak.

Most of its players are rookies, undrafted picks, and mature players whose strength is not up to the NBA level.

Sometimes, there will be some stars who have just returned from injury and come to the Development League to find their feelings.

Players who have played well in the Development League either entered the first team or went overseas to seek gold.

And Xu Yong's performance this week can no longer be described as "making a name for himself".

His level should be called... Controlling Lightning!

Shen Fei immediately asked his assistant to find Xu Yong's game highlights during this period.

After reading it, Shen Fei couldn't help sighing... This is completely bullying!

From physical fitness to technical level, Xu Yong is completely crushed!

At this level, continuing to play in the Development League is definitely a waste of talent.

With this in mind, Shen Fei prepared to call Mark Jackson.

But just as the phone was taken out, the bell rang.

After a closer look, it was Mark Jackson calling.

"Boss, I have something to tell you."

Mark Jackson spoke.

"Well, you said."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"Recently, I let the assistant coach watch two Xu Yong games. I think he is ready to enter the first team."

"I'm going to add him to the squad tomorrow."

Mark Jackson made it clear.

"No problem, you are the coach, it's up to you to decide."

Shen Fei smiled.

"But our roster is already full...Sun Yue has a strong defensive ability, but still lacks in offense."

"I want to put him in the development league for a while, let him hone his offensive skills there."

Mark Jackson hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

He knew that Shen Fei wanted to reuse Chinese players this season.

But Sun Yue has been in the first team for several months, but his progress has not been obvious.

His performance on the defensive end is now comparable to Tony Allen.

But on the offensive end, Sun Yue is not even as good as Tony Allen.

Although Teacher Tony's shooting is not good, his breakthrough ability is acceptable, and he also has a certain impact in counterattacks.

And Sun Yue is basically shooting an open three-pointer, and the shooting rate is still very low.

Without Shen Fei's relationship, Mark Jackson would have abandoned him long ago!

"Well... there's nothing wrong with that."

"I watched Sun Yue's games several times. Indeed, after he came on the court, we seemed to have one less player in our offense."

"Four against five, the opponent is too easy to defend..."

Shen Fei said helplessly.

He seemed to understand.

If Sun Yue didn't get the [Kobe Bryant Defensive Skill Pack], his level would be no different from Ding Yan Yuhang's, and he would not be able to survive in the NBA.

After Mark Jackson got permission, he hung up the phone.

Shen Fei can take it easy.

Sun Yue's current ability point is actually not bad.

The Rockets have a lot of defensive resources, so Sun Yue's advantages are not so important.

But in the national team, his defensive ability is still useful.

At the necessary moment, let Sun Yue play to bite the opponent's outside star, maybe it can get a miraculous effect!

As for his offense...

If not, then there is none, anyway, the Huaxia men's basketball team already has a lot of offensive talents.

The international arena is no better than the NBA. You don't need to score so many points in a game to win.

Sun Yue just needs to be a full-time defensive engineer!

Thinking of this, Shen Fei no longer struggled, and started to deal with other things.

............

One day later, Xu Yong was called up and returned to the Rockets to participate in training with the team.

After equipping [Pippen Skill Pack], his already excellent athletic talent has been further improved!

In the warm-up session before training, Xu Yong showed off a slam dunk with itchy hands.

His jumping height and speed really startled his teammates.

"Are all your Huaxia players in good physical condition?"

"Yi Nengfei is good at dunking, Lin's speed is better than Wall, and now Xiao Xu is showing off dunking...how can every dynamic talent be better than me?"

After watching Xu Yong's dunk, Curry complained to Yao Ming beside him in a speechless manner.

Yao Ming smiled slightly after hearing this.

He didn't answer Curry in a hurry, but looked at Xu Yong with appreciation.

"Xu Yong is indeed very talented. He may be our best wing player in China."

"However, Stephen, your talent is not inferior to anyone."

"They have strong running and jumping abilities, and your talents lie in-coordination, responsiveness, touch...these are talents that are difficult to quantify."

Yao Ming replied seriously.

Curry didn't object.

On the contrary, what Yao Ming said was similar to what Shen Fei said to him before.

At this moment, Mark Jackson appeared in the training hall and began to organize daily training.

After finishing the regular training program, the young rocket coach made an impromptu decision to organize a one-on-one match within the team.

The rules are very simple. Players in the same position in the team will be singled out in two groups, and the winner will enter the next round until the No.1 in the same position is determined.

Xu Yong was sent to the "wing player group".

And his opponent in the first round is the Rockets' second-round pick this year-Chandler Parsons!

They are about the same height (Xu Yong is 2 meters, Parsons is 03 meters) and age (Xu Yong is 2, Parsons is 06), but their styles of play are somewhat different.

Parsons is more technically inclined and has good shooting ability.

Xu Yong, on the other hand, tends to be more physical, and prefers to use his physical talent to crush his opponents.

Of course, Xu Yong has not yet crushed opponents in the NBA... But Parsons has established a firm foothold in the NBA, and has transformed all his skills into NBA games.

Therefore, this group of duels did not receive much attention before the start.

The Rockets generals, and even Yao Ming and other Chinese players, felt that Parsons would surely win.

But after the start of the competition, everyone suddenly discovered... Xu Yong is no longer Wuxia Amon after three days of farewell!

............

Through the free throw competition, Parsons won the right to attack first.

In the first round, Pashuai put on a three-threat pose after washing the ball, and kept testing with tentative steps.

But Xu Yong remained unmoved, and kept his center of gravity stable.

Parsons thought that Xu Yong was unable to react in time and made a defensive move.

Therefore, he suddenly started after a tentative step and tried to break through directly from the right.

"Boom..."

With a muffled sound, Parsons fell into Xu Yong's arms.

After the collision, Xu Yong didn't take a step back, but Parsons took half a step back.

Tony Allen, who was watching the game from the sidelines, lit up.

"Wow, this kid can defend well!"

Teacher Tony said to Leonard beside him.

After two seconds, Kaka nodded slowly, without any expression on his face.

Tony Allen made fun of himself, turned his head back in embarrassment, and continued to watch the game.

Parsons failed to make a breakthrough, so he immediately changed direction and wanted to break through from the left instead.

But Xu Yong suddenly made a horizontal move and went straight to the basketball in Parsons' hands.

Parsons was taken aback.

Obviously, Xu Yong's defensive strength exceeded his expectations.

But Parsons reacted quickly. He quickly stretched out his ball protector to block the basketball, preventing Xu Yong from taking the ball.

Xu Yong was not in a hurry.

After an unsuccessful interception, he waited for a second chance.

But no matter whether he made a shot or not, Xu Yong maintained the defensive pressure on Parsons.

Poor Pashuai, dribbling is not his strong suit.

Now being pressed so hard by Xu Yong, the ball is a little unstable.

Seeing that the attack time is running out, Parsons can only put all his eggs in one basket!

I saw him take a big step to the side and back, and then pull up directly, trying to force a shot.

But at the next moment, Xu Yong jumped up instantly like his feet stepped on a spring.

"despair..."

The basketball thrown by Parsons was touched by Xu Yong with his fingertips.

The ball began to fall in mid-air, and in the end it didn't even touch the basket!

"woo..."

Tony Allen was surprised again.

Xu Yong's defense this time was perfect.

From the initial delay, to the final closure...

Tony Allen felt that even if he came to defend this round, he could do this at most!

[Is he and Sun Yue the same type?Especially good at defense, but knows nothing about offense? ]

Tony Allen guessed in his heart.

When Sun Yue first entered the first team this season, everyone was also impressed by his defensive ability.

But after playing, the Rockets generals also found that Sun Yue was only good at defense, and he was not at the NBA level in other aspects...

And Xu Yong has just landed in the first team, and he also showed excellent defensive skills at the beginning.

In addition, Sun Yue is also a little over two meters tall...

There are too many similarities between the two, so Tony Allen's doubts are not unreasonable!

There are many others who have the same idea as him...

Therefore, what Xu Yong can do in the next round has become extremely interesting!

Such as Shuhao.

After finishing his heads-up match, he rushed to this venue non-stop to watch Xu Yong's match.

After seeing Xu Yong's wonderful cover, Shuhao gave him warm applause.

But after the applause, he also worried that Xu Yong would follow in Sun Yue's footsteps...

............

Look back to the field.

Xu Yong's offensive round.

After washing the ball, Xu Yong also took a three-threat pose.

But instead of staying in place and making too many tests, he quickly dropped the ball and began to attack with the ball.

I saw Xu Yong stepped out with his left foot, and at the same time made a one-handed in&out feint.

Parsons was not fooled by the feint and remained on the defensive.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yong connected to Crossover after in&out.

This time, Parsons did not expect that the center of gravity shifted after being shaken.

Xu Yong took the opportunity to speed up and rush into the inside line, took three steps, and jumped up!

Parsons tried his best to return to the defense.

While Xu Yong was jumping, he was also jumping from behind.

Judging by Parsons' posture, it is obvious that he wants to give Xu Yong a big hat!

However...

After taking off, Parsons suddenly found that Xu Yong, who was 3cm shorter than him, was far above him at the moment!

"BANG!"

A powerful one-handed dunk stunned Tony Allen on the sidelines.

Shu Hao also showed a surprised expression.

Obviously, Xu Yong's crisp attack this time far exceeded the expectations of the two of them!

"Lin, did you see that Xu Gang's dribbling rhythm is very good, very confusing."

"Based on this alone... I think he has better basic skills than Sun!"

Tony Allen said to the book giant beside him.

Shuhao nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head with sophistication: "Their styles are different. I heard from Dayao that Xu Yong used to be a scorer when he was in the youth team, not a blue-collar player."

"But his defense seems to be very good..."

Tony Allen continued.

"Well...the defense in the first round was really good. Let's see again and see if Xu can maintain his intensity."

Shuhao said cautiously.

He is very happy to see Xu Yong can play it.

For one thing, the two are not in the same position, so Jeremy doesn't have to worry about his team status being affected.

Secondly, Shu Hao also learned that the Huaxia men's basketball team lacks a qualified small forward.

Xu Yong's appearance may solve this problem!

............

The game continues.

Parsons serves.

After washing the ball, Parsons made a fake shot the moment he received the ball.

Xu Yong thought he was really shaking his head, so he jumped up.

The next moment, Parsons lowered his center of gravity and rushed towards the basket.

Although Xu Yong was shaken, he had good defensive habits and did not jump with all his strength.

This also gave him a little bit of time to make amends.

I saw Xu Yong taking three steps and two steps in parallel, shrinking the ground into an inch, rushing to Parsons' side as if teleporting, and taking off at the same time as the latter!

In the end, although Parsons successfully avoided the block, his shooting posture also changed.

"Duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

This ball perfectly demonstrated Xu Yong's physical talent.

He can return to his position in time after being passed by, and at the same time he can use his excellent bounce to protect the frame!

Tony Allen couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a sigh:

"Nowadays, why are all the kids so aggressive...One Zhou Qi is enough to make me jealous, and now there is another Xu Yong?"

"My team status is going to -1 again."

In the next few shots, Xu Yong continued to maintain his strength.

In the end, he defeated Parsons 6:2 and won the first heads-up match!

Moreover, Parsons' only goal was a three-pointer after washing the ball.

It can be said that under Xu Yong's defense, Parsons did not get an easy chance to score!

But on the other hand, Xu Yong took whatever he wanted when attacking.

Parsons, who seemed to be taller and stronger than him, was pushed away by Xu Yong every time, thus losing the best defensive position.

This game can be summed up in one sentence - Xu Yong abused Parsons!

............

Soon, the second round began.

Xu Yong's opponent this time is also this year's second-round pick-Bojan Bogdanovic.

And the progress of this game once again surprised everyone.

After a successful defense, Xu Yong scored 6 goals in a row and directly shaved Bo Yang's head!

After watching it, Mark Jackson realized...Xu Yong must be on the big list!

"Okay, that's all for today's heads-up match. We'll decide the champion later when we have time."

Mark Jackson declared.

Immediately, today's training came to an end.

The next training session is 3 days later.

Mark Jackson has already decided that the next training session will be organized in groups, to see if Xu Yong can still be as strong as he is today in the 5v5 match!
