Two Hundred and Twenty-One: The Possibility of Being Able to Rise Twice in a Row

In September, under normal circumstances, NBA teams start their preseason training camps. Before long, the NBA preseason will begin. Then by the end of October, the new NBA season will begin.

But it's clear that this year is anything but normal. NBA labor negotiations are still breaking down, and NBA officials have confirmed that the regular season of the new season will not start on time. So until September, fans didn't expect any news from the NBA. On the contrary, the CBA side began to frantically brush the sense of existence.

NBA players are crazy to go to China for gold, but this also lets those NBA role players know that CBA doesn't seem to be able to play well.

During this time, Link and Paul George seemed to have disappeared. After all, they are only two newcomers, and there are not so many commercial activities, so they cannot be exposed as frequently as other superstars even if there is no competition.

But in Indianapolis, under Stevens' leadership, Link and George remained in shape.

In what Stevens told Brickley, "These two guys are going straight to the regular season right now and there's no problem!"

Brickley agreed with Stevens' assessment that Stevens is not a simple coach, he actually simulated certain tactics of the Grizzlies and Pacers! Under similar tactics, Link and George will undoubtedly get the closest experience to actual combat.

Brickley didn't know that Stevens had a "trick", that is, stealing other people's tactics.

Stevens likes to study game footage, so much so that sometimes he doesn't even care about his wife and children. While studying the footage, Stevens would jot down whatever tactics he felt were good, and then refine them.

Therefore, Stevens can always make the optimal decision in every situation. Because his tactics combine the advantages of other coaches.

Learn basic tactics from the Grizzlies and Pacers? It was a piece of cake for Stevens.

On the basketball court, the performances of Link and George also pleased Brickley.

On George's side, his offense with the ball has improved to some extent. It's not perfect, but it can be played occasionally.

In addition, George's biggest improvement is his three-pointer!

Last season, George made less than 30 percent of his three-pointers during the regular season. In the training hall of Butler University, according to the statistics of the Stevens coaching staff, George's three-point shooting rate this summer is about 40%!

Of course, George shot the NBA 3-point line. In order to take care of Link and George, Stevens deliberately posted an NBA three-point line on the NCAA training ground.

Although it is different from NCAA players training and playing real NBA games, Brickley believes that with George's current three-point accuracy, playing in the NBA next season should have no problem with a three-point shooting rate of around 35%!

As for Link...in Brickley's words, "His progress is incredible!"

Half a month ago, Link had been upgraded to get the Hill ability of the 07-08 season.

In 2007, Hill was 35 years old and had just moved from Orlando to Phoenix. As we all know, the sun at that time was a place that relied on running, avoiding contact, and demanding more of the players' minds than their bodies.

At the time, Hill played like a duck to water in the sun. In addition to Hill's high basketball IQ and accurate shooting, there is another reason that Hill was really able to run at that time.

Although the speed is not top notch, it has no problem keeping up with Phoenix's fast offense.

Therefore, now Brickley feels that Link seems to be getting faster, and this is where he feels the most buggy.

Running off the ball, which was difficult in the past, is now easy for Link. The fast break that was impossible to participate in in the past, now Link can be a one-stop.

Brickley still remembers that when he first saw Link, he basically just passed the ball when he was on the fast break, because he couldn't run on his own.

But now, Link can stage a good show of one-stop dunks in the fast break.

After gaining weight, flexibility does not drop but rises... Brick uses the word "incredible" to describe,

It just couldn't be more appropriate.

Although he has taken another step towards "Devil Mountain", Link knows that his progress this offseason is not over.

Link, who may be the only one in the world who knows when the NBA will resume, has nearly three months to focus on training before the end of December. According to this progress, it is not impossible to upgrade to another level before the start of the regular season!

Two levels in a row in an offseason, this is something that Link did not expect before.

If upgraded again, Link will be superimposed on the ability of Grant Hill in the 06-07 season.

At that time, Hill was still playing for the Orlando Magic, although his feet filled with steel nails prevented Hill from flying up and slamming rebounds as before. But even Orlando has to admit that the Magic couldn't have made the playoffs that year without Hill's solid play.

Where was Hill's greatness that year? It's easy to sum it up - people at the time can still see the tail of his peak.

He can still pull off the cross-step pull-up jumper he worked so hard in the summer of 1999 if needed. Or break through your opponent with an extremely neat twist.

In other words, Hill in that period was much more capable of holding the ball than the Suns!

Link's current offense with the ball is divided into two types. One is to open the space by pick-and-roll, and the other is to swing out of space by superb footwork.

But when it comes to being tough, it really isn't Link's strong suit. His first step is not fast enough, and his subsequent bursts are not strong enough.

Although due to the upgrade of his abilities and his own efforts, Link is faster than Hill in the same period. However, in a place full of birds and animals in the NBA, Link can only be considered not too slow at best.

But if he can upgrade again, Link will be able to sway beyond the three-point line in the future. And, it will become a conventional weapon!

When December comes, people will find out. Link's speed of progress is like a car on the unlimited speed in Germany!

※※※

After today's practice, both George and Link were satisfied with their performance.

Link is very fortunate that he came to Indianapolis to train under Stevens, and his progress must be faster than going overseas to pan for gold.

In fact, this is also the reason why many players are still reluctant to play overseas even when the NBA is suspended.

Going to a lower league to play, maybe not participating in private training.

"Link, do you want to go to a nightclub at night? I heard that a very popular DJ came over today, and the scene should be very lively." Planning for evening activities.

"Nightclub? Can I drink or not, go to the white di..."

"Hey, order two bottles of juice and we're going to play. Hey, Link, look. The female reporter who is interviewing Coach Stevens looks pretty good."

"Damn, there are ugly female reporters? Uh... it seems that there are also. But it's not unusual for female reporters to be good-looking." Link didn't care too much. After playing in the NBA for a season, what a beautiful female reporter. seen?

But out of curiosity, Link still looked up.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it. Link actually knew the girl who was interviewing Stevens with a microphone at this time!

That's right, Rachel DeMita.

At this moment, Rachel also saw George and Link through Stevens' shoulders.

"Coach Stevens, can you explain why you have two NBA players here?" Rachel's question, I don't know if it was in the original plan or she wanted to ask.
