Since Rondo left... Well, actually before Rondo left, the Celtics' record wasn't very good.
After Rondo left, the Celtics' record seemed to be even worse...
In addition to their home victory over the Timberwolves once, they have already suffered two consecutive defeats, losing to the Heat and the Magic, which also had a poor record, because the Celtics are now going well, nothing, and they are definitely not considered worthy at the moment. They are a strong team in the league, so the Christmas game that everyone is looking forward to has nothing to do with them, but after all, they are one of the faces of the NBA, so they arranged a game on the carnival night.
That is, tonight, we are playing against the Brooklyn Nets. Although the Nets are pretty bad now, at least, from a financial point of view, they are much better than the Celtics. If it is an ordinary team, When the team doesn't have a top player, they may have to think of ways to mess it up, or make a trade, but the Celtics don't have such a tradition.
Even if they lose to death, they will never mess up, so the team still has the energy to fight for victory.
The level is the level, the spirit is the spirit. It is not their style to admit defeat before fighting.
So when Jiang Hai came to the training ground below, he was surprised to find that although the record was not good, the team's atmosphere was not bad.
At this time, in a huge training ground, the team's players were gathering in groups, either practicing shooting, or practicing hard hitting, rebounding, blocking positions, or practicing after practice. piles and the like.
The NBA training hall is not a small place with only one basketball court. When Jiang Hai came here, he took a quick look and found that there were ten basketball stands, that is, five basketball courts. Next to each basketball court, there were In many free spaces, there are many boys standing next to the far wall, wearing uniform clothes. It can be seen that they are not very old. They are mainly responsible for picking up the basketballs that bounce over. Sometimes He is also responsible for defending and passing the ball.
These people should be the legendary ball boys, and among these people, Jiang Hai also saw a figure that he was familiar with. It should be the guy who had a duel with him on the basketball court. He seemed to be also named John. But it's just white john
"Oh, you are here. Come on, Jiang, follow him over there. I have arranged shooting trainers for you. They will evaluate your various abilities. I heard Bradley talk about your shooting skills. Show us." Seeing Jiang Hai and Bradley coming over, Brad Stevens looked at Jiang Hai immediately and said to him.
As he finished speaking, two coaches came over and took Jiang Hai to the half-empty field next to him.
"How is he?" Seeing Jiang Hai being taken away by these two people, Brad Stevens pulled Avery Bradley beside him and asked in a low voice. After hearing his words, Bradley couldn't help but feel hesitant to speak.
"Let me remind you, you can call him a monster. Mr. Bray-Bo will give you the specific data later." After saying that, Bradley didn't say any more and ran directly onto the field. Went to practice shooting and warm up.
As for Jiang Hai, he ran to the half court here. An assistant coach told Jiang Hai how to run for a while. This is the most basic Z-shaped running position from the left or right side. corner, then run straight up the line, run to the 45-degree angle in the opposite direction, go straight inward, run past the backboard, then turn around and run outward, run outside the three-point line, and then follow the line again The arc ran to a 45-degree angle on the opposite side, went straight in, then turned around and ran out of the three-point line.
Viewed from above, this looks a bit like a Z-shape, which is also the basic running position of all defenders.
Since it is a basic running position, it is not complicated. After the assistant coach ran it once, Jiang Hai knew it, and what he had to do was to receive the ball passed by the assistant coach at any time while running in these positions. , and then immediately caught the ball and hit the ball.
This is also the training that most tests a person's shooting percentage, but for Jiang Hai, this seems a bit too simple.
"Brush, brush, brush, brush..." Jiang Hai never missed a hit in the continuous shooting percentages. They were all hollow baskets. After all, they were only within the three-point line, and the farthest point was outside the three-point line. , is this distance difficult for Jiang Hai
"This is quite boring. Let's go wider!" Finally, after scoring more than thirty goals in a row, Jiang Hai stopped and said to the assistant coach. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the assistant coach also looked at A glance at Brad Stevens in the distance.
Stevens, who was far away, had actually been observing Jiang Hai, and he found that Jiang Hai's shooting was really a bug.
The main reason why he went to Jiang Hai for a try was because Bradley said that Jiang Hai could hit three-pointers continuously. As for what he said, half of the court was full of offensive points, and the shooting rate was 100%. , he himself does not believe it.
After all, this is a real world, not a fantasy world, so how can such terrifying techniques come from.
If it's really so scary, why give it a spanking? After halftime, just give him the ball and let everyone move away. When did basketball become so easy? How come he doesn't know
So he just thought it was a joke, but now that he sees Jiang Hai's shooting, it seems to be really good.
After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bradley thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Jiang Hai's proposal.
Seeing him nodding, Jiang Hai smiled and took the basketball from an assistant coach, and came to a place one step away from the three-point line. Without saying anything, he jumped and shot. However, the basketball still hit the same hollow point as before!
Then two steps, three steps... One and a half meters away from the basket, it was still a hollow hit!
Seeing this scene, Brad Stevens felt a little confused. Could it be that what Bradley said was true
At this time, more people noticed Jiang Hai who was practicing shooting in the distance. That terrifying three-pointer was really terrifying.
"Ahem, we seem to have discovered a monster." At this moment, Bree Bo walked in from the outside, took a form, and handed it to Brad Stevens. When Rui Bo handed over the form, Brad Stevens's hand suddenly trembled, and then he looked at the guy who was losing three points in the half with a horrified expression.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Brad Stevens said with a puzzled expression as he looked at Bray Bo's form.
"I swear to God." After hearing what Brad Stevens said, Bree Bo also said seriously.
"Hey, if this is true, then this guy is really a monster, a super monster!" Looking at the information in front of him, Brad Stevens's eyes were about to spit fire. He took another look and continued. Jiang Hai, who was shooting there, thought about it for a moment. He now saw Jiang Hai's shooting ability, but he still didn't know how his shooting ability was under defense, so he wanted to give it a try! Thinking of this, he put the information aside for the time being, and then he clapped his hands vigorously.
"Everyone, gather here first, let's play a fifteen-minute team practice match!" After hearing Brad Stevens' words, everyone who was originally watching Jiang Hai practice shooting three-pointers turned their attention. Attracted.
After hearing the instructions from the head coach, everyone did not dare to neglect. After all, there is no real boss in this team. Without the prestige of Brad, he is the strongest in the team.
"Jiang, please come here and let me explain. We are going to have a five-on-five fifteen-minute game. Your performance will determine your playing time tonight." Looking at the people in front of him, , Brad said with a serious face.
Currently, the Celtics have signed a total of fifteen players. In addition to veterans Gerald Wallace, Marcus Thornton and James Young who are unable to play due to injuries, there are still twelve players who can play. Yes, and among these twelve people, there is no absolute saying about who is the main player and who is the substitute. Whoever plays well may be the main player, and whoever plays poorly may also be the substitute.
Regarding their appearance time, these people's faces instantly became serious.
"Jared (Sullinger), Evan (Turner), Avery (Bradley), Tyler (Zeller), Jeff (Green), your team, put on white quilts, Jay (Claude), Kelly (Olynyk), Marcus (Smart), Brandon (Bass), and... Jiang, you go and put on the yellow vests." At the end of the sentence At that time, Brad suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai was a little surprised to hear that he had something to do with him, but he didn't say anything more. He just went to change into a vest, although he was a little surprised. I have no interest in playing in the NBA or playing professionally, but since I said I wanted to come over to play, I naturally wouldn't give up halfway. I went to the side to change my mind and briefly communicated with my teammates.
"Are you playing the No. 1 position or the No. 2 position?" Marcus Smart, the point guard of the yellow team, walked up to Jiang Hai and asked him, Marcus Smart Especially the sixth overall pick in this year's first round. The reason why the Celtics traded Rondo was mainly because of him. Although this guy looks like a thorn, he has a very good character. He is very good on the court. He is willing to do anything that can help the team. He is not the same type of person as the current offensive-focused point guard.
His defense is above average, his offense is average, he will be very active in rebounding, and his ability to draw fouls is very good. The most important thing is that he has a desire to win. Even in training games, he can Want to win, don't want to lose.
"Uh, let's play the No. 2 position!" After thinking about it, although Jiang Hai's height is more suitable for playing the No. 1 position, Jiang Hai knows very well that although he has played dribbling at home in the past two days, it is limited to You won't be interrupted when jogging. If you want to run or step down, it's better not to think about it. In this case, it is better to play the second position.
"Okay, you will stand in your familiar position in a while, and I will pass the ball to you." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Marcus Smart also smiled at Jiang Hai, and then the ten people also Went on the court to prepare for today's training match.
