Chapter 227 (1/2)

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

But obviously, this year is not normal at all. NBA labor negotiations are still in breach, and NBA officials have confirmed that the regular season season will not start on time. So until September, fans didn't expect anything from the NBA. On the contrary, it's CBA side that starts to brush the sense of being crazily.

NBA players are crazy to go to China to seek gold, but this also let those NBA role players know that CBA is not a good fight.

During this time, link and Paul George seem to have disappeared. After all, they are only two newcomers, and there are not so many commercial activities. They can't be as exposed as other superstars, even without competitions.

But in Indianapolis, under the leadership of Stevens, link and George have always been in shape.

In the words Stevens told breekley, ”these two guys are playing the regular season straight now, and there's no problem!”

Breekley agreed with Stevens' assessment that Stevens was not a simple coach. He actually simulated some tactics of Grizzlies and Pacers! Under the similar tactics, link and George can undoubtedly get the closest real combat experience.

Breekley didn't know Stevens had a ”trick” to steal from others.

Stevens likes to study the video of the game so much that sometimes he doesn't even care about his daughter-in-law and children. When studying the video, Stevens will write down all the tactics that he thinks are good and improve them.

As a result, Stevens is always able to make the best decisions in all situations. Because his tactics, is a collection of other coaches' advantages in one.

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

And the basketball court, link and George's performance also let breekley happy.

On George's side, his attack with the ball has improved. Although it's not exquisite, I can fight occasionally.

What's more, the biggest improvement of George is his three-point goal!

Last season, George's three-point shooting rate in the regular season was less than 30%. At Butler University's training facility, according to Stevens' coaching staff, George's three-point shooting rate this summer is about 40%!

Of course, George is casting the NBA three-point line. Stevens in order to take care of link and George, deliberately in the NCAA training ground, posted a circle of NBA three-point line out.

Although different from NCAA players' training and playing real NBA games, breekley believes that with George's current three-point standard, next season's NBA three-point shooting rate should be around 35%!

As for link... In brikery's words, ”his progress is incredible!”

Half a month ago, link has been up against the upgrade to get Hill's ability in the 2007-08 season.

He just turned 35 from Orlando in 2007. As we all know, the sun at that time was a place where running, avoiding contact, and demanding more from the player's mind than from his body.

At that time, hill was playing like a duck 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 the top level, there is no problem to keep up with the rapid attack of Phoenix.

So now breekley thinks that link seems to be getting faster. That's what he thinks is the most buggy thing.

What used to be a tough run without the ball is now easy for link. The fast break, which used to be impossible to participate in, now link has a long way to go.

Breekley remembers that when he first saw link, when he played fast break, he basically just passed the ball because he couldn't run.

But now, link can perform fast break in a dragon dunk good play.
