The Way of the Center

Chapter 55 : The embarrassing Pat Riley

Anjie shot basketball casually on the court, and his soft touch has made him hit six consecutive shots. Although it is not a formal training project, Pat Riley and Spoelstra are still watching.

“It seems that his offensive range is indeed very large, maybe he can develop a three-pointer.” Spoelstra said, staring at the big yellow man in the court.

Pat Riley disagrees. “If he pulls out, the threat will drop a lot. Not all insiders are suitable for three-pointers.”

“Hey, are you here too?” Just after Anjie put the ball into the basket accurately for the eighth time, Chalmers suddenly ran over and greeted Anjie.

“Yes, I don’t know what to do later, they won’t respond after the physical test.” Anjie looked down the court, and Spoelstra seemed to be discussing something with Pat Riley.

Just when Anjie and Chalmers were guessing, a bald coach in referee costume walked into the field with a list.

“Okay guys, let’s fight in groups next!”

Hearing the coach yelling, everyone stopped their movements. This is a real game for the Heat, and it’s getting into the subject so soon!

“It only plays for fifteen minutes, so please behave well. Just treat it as a normal game, but I don’t want to see any big moves from you.” As he said, the bald coach picked up the group list. , Everyone is focused.

There are more than rookies in this training ground, and confrontation training is also an opportunity for free agents and marginal players to prove themselves. But they will be disappointed today, because Michael Beasley completely monopolizes all the ball.

Anjie and Chalmers were placed in the same group, and as opponent Michael Beasley stood opposite them.

“Can you play both power forward and small forward at the same time? Tsk.” Pat Riley touched his chin, it was really hard to choose.

After receiving the ball, Beasley did not intend to pass it again. Even in the face of teammates who already have NBA experience, he always believes that he is the strongest one. Defeating Anjie and eliminating him is the only thought in Michael Beasley’s mind at the moment. And now the defender who is standing in front of him, Beasley did not put him in the eye.

Shake, accelerate! Michael Beasley broke through easily. Anjie! Only Angel is in Beasley’s eyes! In his opinion, this training match is a single challenge between him and An Jie, and the others are just foils.

“Is this guy still holding a grudge?” Pat Riley certainly did not forget Michael Beasley’s first NCAA game. He sent two scouts there, just for the legendary strongest high school genius. Unexpectedly, An Jie was killed halfway, stealing Michael Beasley’s limelight.

“The first ball will blow you up!” Michael Beasley dribbled the ball back and forth with left and right hands, suddenly changed direction, and rushed towards Anjie’s right.

Anjie backed away quickly, keeping a good distance from Beasley. Who knows that Beasley broke through halfway, jumped high and stopped a jump shot!

An Jie didn’t react slowly, so he took a big step and tried to interfere.

The huge height and wingspan gap caused Michael Beasley’s sight to be greatly disturbed. He barely shot, but the basketball failed to get into the net.

Beasley missed the first goal, and now Chalmers controls the basketball.

“Very sophisticated, not like a rookie at all.” Seeing Chalmers’ offensive organization, Riley couldn’t help but smile.

After several passes, Anjie’s shooting guard took a shot from outside the three-point line. However, he seems to be a little too confident in his accuracy, and the timing of the shot is not good.

Beasley averaged 12.4 rebounds per game in the NCAA, which ranks first in the NCAA Division 1 league! However, in the face of An Jie, who worked hard throughout the summer, Beasley found himself unable to grab a favorable rebounding position.

opened his long arms and kept moving under his feet. Everything that Divac taught is now reflected in Anjie.

Judging the landing point, An Jie took off, opened his palm, and steadily got the offensive rebound. After landing, Anjie didn’t pass the ball again, and a mere Michael Beasley couldn’t help him. Facing the undefended basket in front of him, Anjie made a relaxed hook to score. In the first round of the contest, An Jie won.

“This guy is really tall.” Wade admired An Jie and commented.

“Damn it!” Michael Beasley is a big killer in the NCAA, but once it reaches the level of the NBA, the positioning is a bit embarrassing. However, he did not let Pat Riley down. After the offense, he finally showed his super talent.

Beasley still passed his defensive team like a walk, but this time he didn’t break into the penalty area again, but took a step obliquely behind, made a three-pointer, and hit with an open hand.

“This is definitely one of the best talents in the United States!” Spoelstra was excited.

Beasley is for scoring, and Anjie is not. He didn’t have too many opportunities to perform in the subsequent offense. Pat Riley saw more of Anjie’s good pick-and-roll and ability to cope with the ball.

After a few rounds, Beasley still accounted for most of his shots, while An Jie only relied on two chances of back singles to score four points.

Anjie’s integrity is very good. It may be a good puzzle piece, but Beasley will definitely become a scoring machine that cannot be underestimated with a little adjustment.

Just as Pat and Riley was thinking, Anjie received a pass from Chalmers on the offense for the third time. This time, due to the misplaced defense after the pick-and-roll, the man between Anjie and the basket became Michael Beasley.

The three people off the court are all serious, what will be the result of this duel?

Anjie knows that his foot movement and flexibility are not as good as Beasley, so it is not wise to choose a frontal breakthrough. Without hesitation, An Jie once again used his best style of play, back singles!

Beasley gritted his teeth and supported An Jie’s waist, the starting point of all the power. However, when An Jie pushed forward hard, he was still amazed by the disproportionately huge power coming from this thin body.

A few steps later, An Jie entered the range of the three-second zone. Through a summer of training, Anjie’s level has improved a lot compared to the end of the season. Facing Beasley who was so much shorter than himself, Anjie directly took off and raised the basketball with his right hand. An easy little hook, almost finished scoring on Michael Beasley’s head. In the eyes of Beasley, this ball is almost a humiliation to him!

The inconsistent Beasley obviously has no way to deal with real insiders. However, Beasley’s advantage is reflected in the offensive end, but what he didn’t notice is that although An Jie did not take many shots, every offense was easily completed. So far, An Jie has maintained a total shooting percentage. !

“Unfortunately, there is no real NBA-level insider who can test that Chinese.” Pat Riley has not yet an accurate judgment on An Jie’s level. The risk of choosing a Chinese is obviously higher than choosing a high school genius in the United States. The risk is greater.

Just when Michael Beasley just got the ball and prepared to counterattack, the bald referee blew the whistle of the end of training. “Call here today! Take a break, you have other projects later.”

Fifteen minutes, it’s really hard to understand Beasley’s hatred.

“How is it?” Pat Riley turned to look at his head coach and team leader.

“Michael’s scoring ability is amazing. He has proven himself in the NCAA. But Anjie, he only played for one season in the United States. Although it looks good on the surface, I’m not sure if he can adapt to the NBA. The intensity of the game. As far as I know, that guy has been in contact with American regular basketball training for less than a year.” Spoelstra is obviously more biased towards Michael Beasley.

“What do you think? Dwyane?” Wade’s suggestion is also very important. After all, it is Wade who played with those guys on the court, not his general manager.

“Angel’s teamwork with his teammates is great, and he is also very deterrent on the defensive end. If he came to the Heat to pick and roll for me, I would play more easily. Michael’s scoring ability is indeed good, but I am worried. It’s his number of shots. If we can’t manage him well, then he will be a time bomb at any time. But really, if Beasley is willing to play tactics obediently, then our offensive firepower will be much stronger.” De obviously doesn’t like anyone more, his evaluation is very neutral.

Pat Riley looked at these two NCAA stars embarrassingly. The Heat have a chance to win the No. 1 pick this season. Such a good draft shouldn’t be wasted.

After 　　, the cumbersome trial training content is not too important, and the project that best reflects the strength has just been staged in advance. An Jie has been busy all morning without feeling too tired. Compared with Divac’s training plan, these things are as easy as warming up. He didn’t know that the trial was over until Moslav went to call An Jie.

“Is it over?” An Jie obviously still hadn’t finished. Who could not be excited to play in front of the big stars.

“Yes, don’t worry, we have more places to go, and some of them are for you to play.” Moslav handed Anjie a towel and took him to Pat Riley.

“Thank you for coming all the way to Miami for a trial training Angel, you are a very good player and we will keep an eye on you.” Pat Riley did not give a clear answer. s answer.

“Thank you Mr. Riley, then we will go first. You must know that Anjie still has a lot of teams to try out.” Meslav smiled, this seemingly insignificant remark was actually given by Meslav secretly. Pat Riley put pressure. This is to show that Anjie is a hot seller, you Pat Riley is going to miss him, and other teams won’t let him go.

Sometimes it is the small details in this kind of conversation that can determine many things.

“It’s really happy to live in this kind of city.” After a quick dinner, Anjie looked at the beautiful land of Miami from the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Every city after that will make you sigh the same, take a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will go to New York.” Meslav is now helping Anjie in business at a loss, but he believes that after the draft, Anjie will immediately Will afford his meager salary.

“Fly again?” On the first day, An Jie felt exhausted from running around.

“You have to get used to this kind of life, and most of your NBA career in the future will also be spent on the plane.” Meslav has long been accustomed to this rhythm of life. He is relaxed and comfortable, just like going to a place not far from home tomorrow. Same place for outings.

Anjie felt as if he had chosen a path to hell. There was no time to admire the night view of Miami. After taking a shower, Anjie slumped on the bed. From now on, every day is determining Anjie’s future destiny.
