Chapter 989 Confused!

"This is impossible."

Little Thomas was shocked, he had already passed Xianglong, why did this happen?

Being blocked by Xiang Long twice in a row, this kind of thing happened, which made Thomas a little confused. He never expected such a result.

Xiang Long grabbed the basketball, quickly passed it to Lu Wei, and then ran to the frontcourt without even looking at Thomas Jr. He had no habit of showing off. In fact, if Thomas Jr. hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him. Thomas.

After coming to the Heat, Xiang Long not only improved his strength, but also broadened his horizons.

He often trains with Meng Yun, and also heads-up, and watching these performances of Thomas Jr., Xiang Long can't feel the slightest turmoil. Compared with Meng Yun, Thomas Jr.'s ability is much worse than that of Meng Yun.

No one paid attention to Thomas Jr., Group B attacked, and Group A retreated. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Only Korver looked back at Thomas Jr., but he could only sigh secretly.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Xiang Long dunks.

This sound woke little Thomas up. He looked up and saw Xiang Long hanging the basket with both hands, and the basket was deformed under his power, as if it was whining silently.

Suddenly, Thomas Jr. was in a daze—it turned out that this Chinese boy was no longer the rookie he was when he was with the Celtics.

Originally, in Thomas Jr.’s view, Xiang Long was still a rookie who was unpopular with the Celtics and had a withdrawn personality. When he came to the Heat, he must find an opportunity to stand out, so that he can quickly gain a foothold in the Heat. , then Xiang Long is the best stepping stone, just to see him unhappy.

However, Thomas Jr. didn't realize that when Xiang Long left the Celtics, when he Jr. Thomas left the Celtics, many things were actually different.

He is no longer the same him as before, and Xiang Long is no longer the same Xiang Long as before.

Today's Xiang Long is not something he can humiliate lightly!

After that, Meng Yun gave Thomas Jr. a few more balls. After all, Thomas Jr. was still a little unwilling and tried to hit a few more shots, but he became a lot more careful. Being blocked twice in a row is enough to be embarrassing. Hope for a third time.

He began to avoid Xiang Long's shots, using speed and technical breakthroughs, using rhythm and skills to avoid blocks, and then shot after avoiding Xiang Long's blocks.

However, even so, he was hated by Xiang Long again, and he was hated three times by Xiang Long alone, and little Thomas was a little stunned.

At this time, coach Spoelstra called a stop and made a substitution, replacing Thomas Jr. Thomas Jr. needs to calm down and think about it.Traded from the Celtics to the Cavaliers, then from the Cavaliers to the Lakers, and now from the Lakers to the Heat, he has been transferred to several teams in just a few months. If he still can't learn something from it, he doesn't understand If he restrains his temper, then the Heat may not be a place for him to stay for a long time.

"Korver, you switch to Group A." Coach Spoelstra ordered: "Also, Xiang Long, you switch with Whiteside. You go to Group A, and Whiteside goes to Group B."

In this way, the five people in Group A became Xiang Long, Monroe, Green, Korver, and Meng Yun.And Group B is Whiteside, Salinger, Johnson, Lu Wei, Joseph Young.

The presence of Xiang Long and Meng Yun at the same time has become one of the fixed lineups of the Heat, but now coach Spoelstra has added an extra Korver, let Korver play the 2nd position, as a pitcher, he believes Under Meng Yun's organization, Korver can get a lot of good shooting opportunities, and he will perform well.

And it turns out that's the case.

Although Korver, Meng Yun and others are not familiar with each other and lack of tacit understanding with each other, Meng Yun's breakthrough ability and organizational ability allow him to always create opportunities for his teammates, while Korver only needs to catch the ball and then pass the ball. throw in.

This is also Korver's favorite rhythm, and Meng Yun's passing is in place, the angle and strength are just right, and the lead is calculated. He doesn't need to adjust his chances. It is very comfortable, and the shooting rate is also very high. After a while, he scored three three-pointers.

Although this is just a training game, and the defensive intensity is not as good as an official game, Korver's precise shooting still made the Heat players feel bright.

No one would dislike sharp shooters like Redick and Korver.

"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun made a gesture, Xiang Long came up to pick and roll, Meng Yun used the pick and roll to throw off the defender, and moved to the right, Xiang Long moved to the left, wandering on the three-point line, ready to receive Meng Yun's pass for three-pointers shot.At the same time, Korver ran from the right bottom corner along the three-point line, and Meng Yun passed by. The two staggered. The three-point line, that's where Korver ran.

Korver received the ball, raised his hand and made another three-pointer, making another hit.

"Strong shot." Rosen praised.

Coach Spoelstra also smiled. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, there has been some tacit understanding between Korver and Meng Yun, which is a surprise.

Since the combination of Korver and Meng Yun has such an effect, is it possible to start Korver?Play him at the 2, as an outside shooter.

In fact, after learning that Wade will be traded, coach Spoelstra considered placing a shooter at the 2nd position and tried Taylor Johnson, but Johnson's strength is still a bit weaker and his shooting is not stable enough.

Korver is definitely a qualified candidate. Although he does not have the offensive ability of holding the ball like Wade, but with Meng Yun feeding him the ball, Korver is still worth looking forward to on the offensive end.

As for Thomas Jr.
Coach Spoelstra glanced at him and shook his head slightly. The previous few minutes were a test. Thomas Jr.'s ability to score independently is indeed good, which Korver cannot match.But his playing style, technical characteristics, including personality, made Spoelstra feel that putting him in the starting lineup was not a good choice.

At this time, Thomas hadn't recovered from being blocked twice by Xiang Long just now, and then repeatedly hit by Xiang Long's defense, and he didn't know that because of the few minutes just now, he might miss the starting position.

At the beginning, Coach Spoelstra put him in Group A because he had the idea of ​​putting him in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Thomas Jr. took it for granted, so he didn't realize that it was also a test.

A few minutes later, the training session was suspended.

The players rested for a while, and Coach Spoelstra adjusted the lineup again: "Whiteside, Monroe, Green, Korver, Meng Yun, you guys in Group A. Xiang Long, Salinger, Johnson, Lu Wei, Thomas Jr., you guys from Group B."

Little Thomas froze for a moment, looked at Spoelstra, and finally came to his senses at the moment.

For a moment, Little Thomas' face became a little gloomy. He didn't notice that Meng Yun was looking at him, and a sharp cold light flickered in his slightly narrowed eyes.
