When Wang Zhizhi walked onto the court with a dull expression, his heart was never as calm as his face, because this was not only his first appearance in the regular season this season,

It was the first time in his career that he appeared on the court as a starter. In the previous Mavericks game experience for more than a year, he played a total of 60 games, an average of each game

The time is about 10 minutes, often when the main force is resting or garbage time.

After coming to the Celtics, Wang Zhizhi never got a chance to play in the first eight games, even if it was garbage time, Leon did not put Wang Zhizhi on the court. To Wang Zhi

For Zhi, he is a bit used to the days when he sits on the bench, so when Leon told Wang Zhizhi in the morning training before the game that he would be the starter of the game, he didn’t

I blurted out "Are you kidding me?"

However, Wang Zhizhi knew that Leon's Chinese was good and terrible, so he took this sentence back, but he nodded his head to show that he knew it.

In the evening, when the fans saw Wang Zhizhi wearing a No. 12 shirt walking into the middle circle, they all showed the expression of "You are teasing me", but bursts broke out on the scene.

Cheers and cheering for Wang Zhizhi also came one after another. Wang Zhizhi still had a dull expression, but Leon could see that Wang Zhizhi's face was slightly flushed.

, It seems that he is not nervous, but excited.

This is good news. For a player, when he gets a chance to perform, it is inevitable to be nervous, but if he just blindly nervous. Then he won’t

Will seize this opportunity. A player with potential should be more excited when encountering an opportunity, because it means that what they have learned and practiced finally has room to play.

!

Wang Zhizhi has been in the league for a year and a half, and his talent is not outstanding. Those talented advantages among the yellow race players are not so prominent in the United States.

Up. The shortcomings that have been concealed among Asians have been magnified exponentially. Leon has always believed that the important thing for a player is to develop his strengths, not blindly.

Make up for the shortcomings, but the premise is that the shortcomings are not so short that you can't stand in the league.

Wang Zhizhi's strength, defensive attitude and spirit of communication and cooperation have always been his relatively big shortcomings, in order to make him reach a qualified level. Leon specially sent Dave Cowens to the king

Zhizhi conducts one-on-one special training. Cowens was nicknamed "Big Red" when he was a player, but he also had a little-known nickname called "The Big Mafia" because of him.

That fierce and powerful style of play, like a cruel mafia, guards the team's basket.

After the training every day, Leon will force Wang Zhizhi to stay and conduct strength training and strong confrontation exercises under the supervision of Dave Cowens. At the same time Leon will act as

Translated by Wang Zhizhi to explain the technical essentials in detail. Leon’s Chinese is so good that Cowens feels that Leon should be a Chinese professor at the university instead of here.

coach.

When it comes to language, Wang Zhizhi’s English has always been a shortcoming. The experience of growing up in a sports school made him miss a good period of language learning. This is also why he has few friends since he came to the United States.

, Finally had to rely on Chen Weiming's reasons. This time Leon asked Wang Zhizhi to fire Chen Weiming, only to keep friends with him. Then every week after the training is over, give

Wang Zhizhi takes a one-hour language class.

Wang Zhizhi not only did not resist this kind of high-pressure training content, on the contrary, he was very comfortable, because compared with the national team and Bayi team training, this kind of restriction is already very high.

Small. The reason why he did not practice like this in the past is just because in the United States the coach is not responsible for the personal development of the players. These are the players themselves who ask the assistant coach to train.

To succeed, he had no choice but to have a talent like Leon, who understands China's national conditions, to truly understand Wang Zhizhi. Knowing that it’s not that he’s not hardworking, but that he’s not very used to this environment, he needs to have

Personally lead him.

So when Wang Zhizhi stood in the middle circle to jump the ball, Leon knew that this guy could indeed play. His expression was dull and calm, with a hint of imperceptible joy.

Fen, strive to be your best self in a short time, because Leon gave him only five minutes.

……………………

Wang Zhizhi's opponent in the middle circle was not Najera, but Nowitzki, a player nicknamed "German Wang Zhizhi" by some Chinese fans. Maybe some of them

The place does look similar. Some people even think that Wang Zhizhi has more potential than Nowitzki, but Wang Zhizhi, who has been a substitute for Nowitzki for one and a half seasons, knows

, I can’t compare with this German. His touch, his core strength, his stability, his dribbling, and his coordination can only be compared with him.

Only by training together day and night will we know that there are indeed things in this world that are insurmountable.

But only from the jump ball, Wang Zhizhi felt that he would win! Although both of them are bouncing matchboxes, after more than a month and nearly two months of hard practice, Wang Zhi

Zhi's strength has improved a lot. His arms are thicker, but there are no muscle lines. Leon does not want too much strength training to take away his shooting touch.

Cowens trained more Wang Zhizhi’s large muscles in his legs, buttocks and torso, which are vital to the inside players regardless of offense and defense. On the contrary, there are a few on the arm.

The biceps doesn't matter.

As the referee threw the ball into the air, Wang Zhizhi took the lead in the jump. Anyway, he couldn't jump high. It's better to jump early! Nowitzki reacted slightly, but neither of them reached the top of the ball

The ball was dialed at the point, because Wang Zhizhi used his body to push Nowitzki on top of Nowitzki, overwhelming him, and then touched the ball with his finger at the moment the ball fell, and the ball hit Arenas.

Hands.

The game officially began, the Celtics won the ball for the first offense.

"This guy finally learned to use his body to fight, and time was not wasted." Dave Cowens watched Wang Zhizhi overpower Nowitzki in the scrimmage. Know myself every time

The devil's additional training after training was not in vain. At the beginning, Cowens was not reluctant to help Wang Zhizhi in training. He felt that a player like Wang Zhizhi would finish the three-pointer training.

Anti is a waste of time. After Leon's repeated requests to persuade and even coerce and lure, Cowens began to train Wang Zhizhi. He soon discovered that although his foundation is weak

The talent is terrible, but he is extremely resilient and patient. No matter how he criticizes and yells at him, he can silently complete the requirements of Cowens and stick to it.

This quality reminds Cowens of who he once was. The under-size center who wrestled with willpower in the giant jungle.

Leon on the side nodded. He is fully engaged in the game. Obviously, the offense at the beginning is very important. To play against an offensive team, the important thing is

We must open up the feel as soon as possible. The game can only be played, otherwise facing a team like the Mavericks is likely to be beaten by a wave, just like the Celtics.

It's the same as ignoring others.

"You've become stronger, Wang." Nowitzki didn't care after the jump ball failed, and chatted with Wang Zhizhi in the process of returning to defense. During the Mavericks, the team atmosphere is free

The open Mavericks still left a deep impression and nostalgia for Wang Zhizhi, before the game started. When the Mavericks saw Wang Zhizhi starting, they even came up with Wang Zhizhi one by one.

Hug, Nowitzki is one of them. Nowitzki’s personality contains not only the seriousness and melancholy of the Germans, but also the debauchery and unruly that the Germans don’t know about.

He will be able to see the short haircut in a while.

He also treated Wang Zhizhi as a teammate in the Mavericks period, and wanted to chat with him and make jokes, but Wang Zhizhi ignored him. When he fell into position, Wang Zhizhi framed him.

Raised his arm and lifted Nowitzki. Made a pick and roll for Arenas. Although Wang Zhizhi's action was suspected of covering a foul, the referee was still holding the ruler at the beginning.

At the same time, Arenas took advantage of this fairly good screen to throw off Nash’s defense with great ease, broke through to the left 45 degrees and 14 feet from the basket, and then made an emergency.

Stop the jumper and hit the board into the basket.

"Arenas' offense is as swift as the Thunder. It must be admitted that the Celtics this season may be changing the league’s offense. More and more teams are embarking on the path of strangulation, but the Celtics and Mavericks are Hold high the banner of offense. And we can see that the Celtics’ offense is not only based on high speed, their high shooting standards, as well as simple and decisive play, are in line with their head coach Fox-Lay Ang is just as refreshing and pleasant." Wharton could pick up a bunch of words from Arenas' first attack.

Looking back, Nowitzki, who had just been ignored by Wang Zhizhi, immediately returned the color. He and Nash completed a pick-and-roll, cut and received the ball, received the ball directly to the right of his favorite free throw line, and shot a high. Unreachable shooting points, the ball draws a beautiful arc, hollow into the net. Obviously Wang Zhizhi had no way to interfere with Nowitzki. After conceding the ball, he did not stop and immediately served the bottom line. After receiving the ball, Arenas ran all the way through the half court, gave the ball to Pierce and then cut in. Walker has come near the free throw line to respond, Wang Zhizhi is 45 degrees on the left, Pierce is on the right at the top of the arc, and finally Reid, who is following up, falls on the right bottom corner he likes, a typical second fast break. Formation.

Walker and Arenas attracted the Mavericks' defense. Arenas circled the baseline from right to left. Then Arenas went to the left and then again with the help of Wang Zhizhi's screen to throw away Nash, Pierce passed the ball. Gives Arenas, who goes around and cuts into the inside from the left again. At this time, Najera is restrained by Walker. The three-point madman has already started to go outside the three-point line. Nash is thrown away by Arenas and the right is inside Dracon, Pierce is about to move, Nowitzki can only let go of Wang Zhizhi and slide inward to stop Arenas~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, Wang Zhizhi is on the left bottom line, he is freed, Arenas Did not ignore him, because in the morning training, this set of their best tactics was practiced countless times, Arenas sideways with both hands to pass the ball vigorously to Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi is no longer like the first time to catch the ball. After letting go, he caught the ball firmly with both hands. He didn't think about anything in his mind, just like he usually trained, he started at a faster speed than when he was training in China, and threw the ball to the basket with his feeling.

The same beautiful arc, the same unattainable shooting point, no one interfered with Wang Zhizhi, the ball steadily fell into the basket, two points! Wang Zhizhi's first two points in the Celtics!

After the goal, Wang Zhizhi quickly ran back to his team's half-court defense, because in training, if he didn't quickly return to defense after scoring a goal, Dave Cowens would be scolded by Dave Cowens behind his ass. But at this moment, there is still a picture flashing in Wang Zhizhi's mind. It was his first goal in an NBA game. In the Mavericks, facing the Hawks, it was also on the left bottom line, which was also a 15 Wang Zhizhi just wanted to say that the feeling of scoring is really good.

And Leon, who was still sitting on the bench at the beginning, got up from the bench after Wang Zhizhi scored. He looked up at the timer. The time has passed 35 seconds and Wang Zhizhi still has four and a half minutes. . (To be continued.)
