Chapter 4 Dimension Reduction Strike
The signing of the three giants James, Wade and Bosh made this New York amateur team very uncomfortable, and they even couldn't help themselves in the afternoon training, and the next day, their game was about to begin.
The Devil's Horn's opponent is not too strong. It comes from a team outside Los Angeles, but there is an NBA player in this team, and a player from the Knicks, Tony Douglas.
As a fan of the Knicks, all the players in the Devil's Horn have watched his game. The Knicks' first round pick from Los Angeles this year is also the main rotation on the back line in the Knicks' lotto team this year.
Height: 188cm, mainly playing as a point guard, but can also swing to the position of a shooting guard. Although the shooting guard is obviously not tall enough, he is strong and has a good defense, and has an attitude.
However, as a defender, the explosive power and athletic ability are relatively average, so you can use various offensive methods to make up for these problems.
Last season, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.0 assists, 1.9 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was 45.8% of the qualified three-point shooting percentage. In general, this is a young man who has temporarily gained a foothold in the NBA.
"Tony went to his hometown team? He could think of serious about maintaining his form during the offseason, which is great, but why isn't our team chosen?"
Lin Yang, who was practicing dribbling on the side, murmured a few words in his heart, maybe because of your name.
Fortunately, because I know Tony Douglas quite well, the coach's defensive arrangements still look quite good.
The coach of Demon Horn was the old street player who invited Lin Yang that day. He was no longer on the court, but he still seemed like that when he commanded.
The next day's game was held in a small stadium. In addition to coaches and some substitutes, there were only more than 100 people in the entire scene.
This is also a very normal thing. It is a civilian league itself. Unless it is the participation of some NBA stars, such space is completely enough.
As a newcomer to the team, Lin Yang stood in the towel team below for granted.
Most of the players in Demon Horn and Tony Douglas met each other. They also had a wave of hugs before playing, which looked very "harmonious" and "beautiful".
But at the beginning of the game, Douglas gave these acquaintances a warning. He was considered strong on the NBA back line and was invincible to face these amateur players. The biceps that burst with his left hand made him like a bulldozer and attacked the Devil's horn from the three-point line to the penalty area and completed a layup.
In the NBA, he faced countless tall inside players, he was only 188cm tall and his athletic ability was not strong, so he didn't end the offense at the basket when he was in the NBA. However, now it's a dimensionality reduction attack, so Douglas has no scruples.
The Drew League itself is a league that does not pay much attention to defense. After Douglas scored several times in a row, the center player only helped to defend and watched him watch. This was so angry that the coach who arranged the defensive task yesterday stomped his feet.
OK! If you don't have defense, then play back from the offense. Like most civilian teams in the Drew League, the core scorer of Devil's Horn is their backcourt player, a small 185cm black player with accurate shooting and three-point 100-step swings.
But these things don't seem to work very well when facing Douglas. Douglas is really defending, with his center of gravity lowered and his hands spread out.
The small black man couldn't find a chance to break through at all, so he wanted to pull a three-pointer, but Douglas was the defender of the Knicks who often took on defensive tasks to defend the opponent in the backcourt. A move that obviously pulled a three-pointer was easily seen through.
Blocking, Douglas's experience makes up for his athletic ability. In fact, it is not necessarily true that this 20-year-old young man has a rich experience. In the eyes of most NBA players, he is just a naughty man, but his year of NBA experience makes him play like an old man in the face of these players.
"Wow! This cover is crazy."
No wonder there is such cheers below. A defender under 190cm completed such a block, which is rare in such a league.
"I feel like I'm losing a lot. You know, this guy belongs to us. We lack depth on the back line. Kobe has to play nearly 40 minutes in every regular season game."
This sounds like a Lakers fan who has completed two consecutive championships this year, but they are not satisfied and are still looking forward to replicating the feat of three consecutive championships at the turn of the 21st century.
The aging of their players is a problem that they have to face. Strengthening the depth of the back line and allowing Kobe to have more energy to play in the playoffs is a consensus of almost every Lakers fan.
Lin Yang felt a little joking when he heard this, but why did you fall in love with this black guy? He knew that Douglas would disappear in the league a few years later and finally go to the CBA to play. The Lakers' back line looks weak but is only relative to Kobe. If it were compared with Douglas, there would be quite a lot of things to use.
The Demon Horn was pierced at the beginning of the game with almost no power to fight back. The score quickly widened to double digits, and except for counterattacks, they basically never got any points.
"This guy Tony, all the wine you get when you enter my bar in the future will increase him by 30%!"
People who come here to play all have a hobby and have a main job. For example, the middle-aged white uncle in front of him opened a large bar in New York and had a good relationship with many Knicks players. Of course, this sentence is a joke, but it also shows that the first game of Demon Horn is very difficult now.
As a substitute, Lin Yang did not blindly join the ranks of towel-waving. Such a life should belong to the white uncle who just complained about. After all, playing against the position is equivalent to giving away points. Unless there is garbage time, there will basically be no chance to play.
Lin Yang did not wave the towel, but he was watching Douglas' every defense seriously and studying his defensive habits and strategies.
Although the team has been lagging behind, this is actually the scene he most hopes for, because only when the core guard is frozen by the opponent and the Demons' Horn is behind in a big score, he may have a chance to play immediately.
After all, it was my first game at Demon Horn, and I had to be fully prepared.
