Chapter 102: The Monster

Since Rondo left... Well, in fact, before Rondo left, the Celtics' record was not very good.

After Rondo left, the Celtics' record seems to be even worse...

In addition to their home win over the Timberwolves, they have already suffered two consecutive losses, losing to the Heat and the Magic with the same poor record, because the Celtics are walking now, there is nothing, and it is definitely not counted at present. It is a strong team in the league, so the Christmas game that everyone is looking forward to has nothing to do with them, but it is one of the faces of the nba after all, so a game is arranged for the carnival night.

That is, tonight, they are playing against the Brooklyn Nets. Although the Nets are pretty bad now, at least, from the book point of view, they are much better than the Celtics. If it is an ordinary team, In the case that the team does not have a top card, maybe they have to find a way to show up, or trade, but the Celtics do not have such a tradition.

Even if they lose to death, they will never play badly, so the team still has the energy to fight for victory.

The level is the level, the heart is the heart, and it is not their style to admit defeat before fighting.

So when Jiang Hai came to the training ground below, he unexpectedly found that although the record was not good, the atmosphere of the team was not bad.

At this time, on a huge training field, the players of the team are gathering together in groups of three or five, either practicing shooting, or practicing strong play inside, rebounding, blocking, or practicing piles and such.

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 are ten basketball racks here, that is, five basketball courts. Next to each basketball court, there are There are quite a few empty places, and beside the far wall, there are still many boys standing, wearing uniform clothes, and it can be seen that they are not very old. They are mainly responsible for picking up the basketballs that bounced over there. Also responsible for defending and passing.

These people should be the legendary caddies, and among these people, Jiang Hai also saw a figure he was more familiar with. It should be the guy who singled out himself on the basketball court. It seems that he is also called John. it's just white john

"Oh, you guys are here, come on, Jiang, follow him over there, I have arranged for you a shooting trainer, they will evaluate your various abilities, I heard Bradley talk about your shooting skills, Show us." Seeing Jiang Hai and Bradley approaching, Brad Stevens immediately looked at Jiang Hai and said to him.

As his voice fell, two coaches had already walked over and took Jiang Hai to the half empty field next to him.

"How is he?" Seeing Jiang Hai being taken away by the two, Brad Stevens pulled Avery Bradley beside him and asked in a low voice. Hearing his words, Bradley couldn't help feeling hesitant to speak.

"Let me remind you, you can call him a monster, and Mr. Bree-Bo will give you the specific data later." After finishing speaking, Bradley didn't say any more, and ran directly onto the field. Went to practice shooting to warm up.

As for Jiang Hai, he ran to the half court here, and an assistant coach told Jiang Hai how to run for a while. This is the most basic outside line Z-shaped running position. corner, then run straight up the line, run to a forty-five-degree angle in the opposite direction, go straight inward, run past the backboard position, then turn around and run outward, run outside the three-point line, and then re-along The arc runs to a forty-five-degree angle on the opposite side, goes straight in, then turns around and runs outside the three-point line.

From the above, this looks a bit like a zigzag, which is also the basic running position of all defenders.

Since it is a basic running position, it is not too complicated. After the assistant coach runs once, Jiang Hai will be able to, and what he has to do is to receive the ball from the assistant coach at any time while running these positions. , and then immediately catch the ball and make a hit.

This is also the training that most tests a person's shooting percentage, but for Jiang Hai, it seems a bit too simple.

"Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe..." Jiang Hai has never knocked down the successive hits, all of them are hollow shots, after all, they are only within the three-point line, and the farthest point is the three-point line Besides, is such a distance difficult for Jiang Hai?

"This is quite boring, let's have a wider range!" Finally, after scoring more than 30 goals in a row, Jiang Hai stopped and said to the assistant coach. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the assistant coach also read A glance at Brad Stevens in the distance.

In fact, Stevens in the distance has been observing Jiang Hai, and he found that Jiang Hai's shooting is really a bug.

The main reason why he went to Jiang Hai for the test was because Bradley said that Jiang Hai could hit ultra-long three-pointers in a row. As for what he said, there are all offensive points within half the court, and the shooting rate is 100%. , he himself did not believe it.

After all, this is a real world, not a fantasy world, so how can there be such a terrifying technique.

If it's really that scary, what's the point? After halftime, just give him the ball and pull everyone away. Since when is basketball so easy? Why doesn't he know?

So he just listened to it as a joke, but now seeing Jiang Hai's shooting, it seems to be really good.

Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bradley here thought for a while, nodded, and agreed to Jiang Hai's proposal.

Seeing him nodding, Jiang Hai took the basketball from an assistant coach with a smile and came to a place one step away from the three-point line.

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 from a distance. That terrifying three-pointer was really terrifying.

"Hey, we seem to have found 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' hands trembled suddenly, and then he looked at the guy who was dropping a three-pointer in the half with a look of horror.

"Are you sure you didn't write anything wrong?" Brad Stevens said with a puzzled look as he looked at Bree Bo's form.

"I swear to God." Hearing what Brad Stevens said, Bree Bo also said seriously.

"Hiss, if this is true, then this guy is really a monster, a super monster!" Looking at the information in front of him, Brad Stevens' eyes were already spitting fire, and he took another look and continued. Jiang Hai, who was shooting there, thought about it for a while. He has seen Jiang Hai's shooting ability now, but he still doesn't know how his shooting ability is under the defense, so he wants to try it! Thinking of this, he temporarily put the document aside, and then he clapped his hands vigorously.

"Everyone, come here first, let's play a 15-minute team practice game!" Hearing what Brad Stevens said, the eyes of everyone who had been watching Jiang Hai practicing three-pointers, To attract over.

Hearing the head coach's order, everyone didn't dare to neglect. After all, there is no real boss in this team, and Brad's prestige without a stabbing head is naturally the strongest in the team.

"Jiang, come here too. Let me explain. We are going to have a five-on-five match of fifteen minutes. Your performance will determine your playing time tonight." Looking at the crowd in front of him , Brad said seriously.

At present, the Celtics have signed a total of 15 players. In addition to veterans Gerald Wallace, Marcus Thornton and James Young, who are unable to play due to injuries, there are 12 players who can play. Yes, and among these twelve people, there is no absolute saying who is the main force and who is the substitute. Whoever plays well may be the main force, and whoever plays poorly may also be the substitute.

Regarding their playing time, the faces of these people also became serious in an instant.

"Jared (Sullinger), Evan (Turner), Avery (Bradley), Tyler (Zeller), Jeff (Green), you team, put on white quilt hearts, Jay (Claude), Kelly (Olynyk), Marcus (Smart), Brandon (Bass), and...Jiang, you go and put on the yellow vests." When Brad suddenly stopped, he said to Jiang Hai that Jiang Hai was a little surprised when he heard that he still had his own affairs, but he didn't say much, he just went to change a vest, although he I don't have much interest in playing in the NBA or playing professionally, but since I said I want to come and have fun, I naturally won't give up halfway. I went to the side to change my heart, and simply communicated with my teammates.

"Are you playing the first position or the second position?" Marcus Smart, the point guard of the yellow team, walked to Jiang Hai's side and asked him, Marcus Smart Especially the sixth pick in the first round of this year, the reason why the Celtics traded Rondo was mainly because of him. Although this guy looks like a thorn, he has a very good personality. He is willing to do anything as long as it can help the team, and he is not the same person as the current point guard who focuses on offense.

His defense is top-notch, offense is top-notch, he will actively grab rebounds, and his ability to draw fouls is very good. The most important thing is that he has a heart that wants to win and has desire. Want to win, don't want to lose.

"Uh, take the second position!" After thinking about it, although Jiang Hai's height is more suitable for playing the first position, Jiang Hai is very clear that although his dribbling has been played at home for the past two days, it is limited to You won’t be interrupted when jogging. If you want to run, step down or something, it’s better not to think about it. In this case, it’s 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." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Marcus Smart also smiled at Jiang Hai, and then the ten people also Walked onto the field, preparing for today's training match.
