0019 See what he can do
The three-day training camp ended in a blink of an eye.
At noon on the fifth, the entire Trail Blazers boarded the plane to Las Vegas.
As a member of the Xialian team, Su Yang also received an envelope from the staff when entering the cabin, which contained a total of two days and a total of US$360 in travel subsidy.
Perhaps it is rare to get change, veterans such as Otero, who are traveling with him, suggest playing the Bry card game.
Rookies such as McRoberts felt a little shy and did not agree. Su Yang joined directly and learned and played.
In just twenty minutes, he lost all the subsidies of $360, and he believed that he did not have the skills of Chen Daozai.
By the time McRoberts and others joined in, he had figured out the rules and won more than 3,000 US dollars.
If Monty had not forced a suspension of the game, Su Yang would have taken all the game and won the travel subsidy of most players.
After the plane arrived in Las Vegas, the whole team took a bus to the hotel and began to prepare various procedures.
Su Yang received the assistant coach certificate, but Monty still did not arrange anything related to the game for him, as if he did not exist. However, he was officially reported to the league by the Trail Blazers and became one of the two coaches in this league.
He was not idle either. Not only did he take out more than 3,000 dollars of winning by playing cards, he also paid some extra money to customize advanced SPA massage services for each player, and at the same time studied the summer teams of other teams in case of emergency needs.
On the morning of the Sixth, the team held training as usual.
Su Yang met the official website reporter Casey Hodell again, and asked during a chat whether there was any news in the previous interview. Casey told him that the news had been posted to the website, and he had said that the words he said could cause discussion, but unfortunately the number of clicks was very small.
Su Yang was not surprised. After all, as long as the team with some strength in each new season is to enter the playoffs and even compete for the championship. Similar predictions often require you to wait until the end of the season to find the fun.
And he said that the Trail Blazers' goal to make the playoffs next season is not an exaggeration.
Even if you reach the finals within five years, the speed requirement is at most a relatively fast.
At 4 pm, the first game of the Trail Blazers Summer League officially started, and the opponent was the Celtics.
The competition was held at the Cox Arena, with only more than 2,000 seats, but there were more than 2,500 spectators. Many of them could only stand in the aisle to watch. They were all for the No. 1 pick Oden Great.
But less than three minutes after Oden made his debut in the first quarter, he received three fouls. He only picked up one backcourt rebound and got off the court without a single point. The audience was so anxious that they shouted that they wanted Oden to play on the court, but Monty ignored the audience at all.
At the second quarter, Oden finally got off the pick-and-roll and scored 4 points in a row.
However, it is embarrassing that Oden made all free throws and the number of fouls increased to six times.
The Twin Towers tactics did not perform ideal results, Oden's mid-range shot level was too poor, and the Celtics contracted without any scruples.
Aldridge was also quite uncomfortable. Every time he took the ball and waited at a high position, the Celtics blocked his space to the bottom line.
Just like that, at the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers trailed the Celtics 30-41.
During the halftime break, Oden took the initiative to express his desire to have more playing time, and Monty agreed immediately.
McRoberts took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to act as a high-level support role, and Monty refused.
Su Yang was watching from the side, feeling powerless.
Less than two minutes into the second half, the Celtics relied on Gerald Green to play strongly and quickly expanded the game to 51 to 32. Oden led the team to fail to respond and increased the number of personal fouls to eight times.
The scene was extremely embarrassing, and Oden gritted his bullet and continued to play, and finally received his 10th foul.
Due to the rules of the game, Oden had to leave the game, and the Trail Blazers changed to Aldridge to lead the team.
Perhaps because there is no Oden, Monty no longer forced the double tower tactic, and she feels a little bit of giving up.
Then I thought that Ade soon led the team to a 25-10 wave, and chased after it strongly to only 5 points.
The Celtics requested a suspension, and Monty quickly delivered a passionate speech of encouragement and also arranged a wave of offensive and defensive focus.
Unexpectedly, after the game started again, the entire Trail Blazers team fell into chaos in offense and their scoring efficiency fell sharply.
In the end, the Trail Blazers lost 18 points in the first game.
No. 1 pick Oden scored 6 points and 2 rebounds in the whole game, and the audience booed friendly when they left the game.
Back in the locker room, Monty quickly finished the game and spent the rest of the time encouraging Oden. The referees in NBA games would not be as strict as phishing, and Bagnani also had 10 fouls last year. In short, it was not Oden's problem.
Oden himself believed it and promised to perform strongly in the next game so that Monty would not be embarrassed again.
Head coach McMillan also has the same view, so that Oden will not be anxious. Take his time and tomorrow will be better.
Su Yang was watching from the side, quite speechless.
ESPN and other media reported Oden's performance and suggested that he be familiar with the rules of the game and not be so easy to foul.
After a day off, at 3 pm on the 8th, the Trail Blazers played against the Dallas Mavericks.
The venue is still the Cox Arena, and as many as 2,000 spectators are still going to see Oden.
The Mavericks do not have a traditional center, and the center is Monsa Bonsu, who is shooting high and weighing, is weaker than Oden.
With such a matchup, Oden finally seized the opportunity and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks in the first half.
Unfortunately, after the second half started, the Mavericks seemed to discover Oden's shortcomings and fouled resolutely when defending.
As a result, Oden was in a very bad free throw, with only one hit in seven shots, and the Trail Blazers were quickly pulled apart.
Faced with such a dilemma, Oden became anxious, and the number of fouls increased rapidly, and soon as 9 times.
Monty gritted her teeth and replaced Oden, and the Trail Blazers finally lost to the Mavericks 68-72.
After the game, ESPN and other media began to report on "Oden's skills are rough and the ball dealer is too low". They also mentioned that Durant scored 32 points against the Warriors, which attracted fans from all walks of life to make trouble and ridicule on social media.
Soon, some fans flipped from the Trail Blazers official website to Su Yang's interview video and spread it to Facebook and other platforms. The words he said invisibly became the material for fans to joke about, and ESPN also edited a whole United States broadcast.
Commentators such as Bill Simmons ridicule word by word, and Su Yang gradually became the target of fans' jokes.
However, some fans think he is right, because the reason for losing is that the Trail Blazers' tactical arrangement is too poor.
The Trail Blazer Media Department contacted Su Yang, hoping that he would not speak so exaggeratedly in the future, so as not to cause misunderstandings.
Su Yang neither agreed nor refused, thinking that it was a fact that the Trail Blazers lineup was good, but it was nothing more than that.
That night, Oden issued a statement that the rest of the game would be missed due to tonsillectomy.
The Trail Blazers official confirmed it immediately and announced that Aldridge was temporarily truce due to ankle problems.
At 4 pm on the 10th, the Trail Blazers vs. The Suns were broadcast live across the United States simultaneously.
Perhaps because of the sudden lack of two main forces, the Trail Blazers were defeated and lost 21 points before the third quarter was finished.
Monty was quite angry about this and kept arguing about the foul issue with the referee, causing the referee to call a technical foul.
During the pause, the live commentator Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson chatted about Su Yang's words, and the audience burst into hilariousness.
Su Yang listened right next to him, but he didn't feel embarrassed, but was a little surprised, and things were developing beyond imagination.
Suddenly, the referee whistle sounded again, and the target of the call was Monty Williams.
According to the rules, two technical fouls will be expelled from the field.
Monty was stunned for a while, turned around and walked towards the player passage, leaving the Trail Blazers generals full of confusion.
McMillan quickly stood up from the audience, waved at Su Yang, and signaled him to take over the coaching duties.
Su Yang hesitated for a moment, looked up at the scoreboard, and then raised his hand to the referee for a pause.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, and the Trail Blazers' generals naturally surrounded Su Yang, and McRoberts jumped up excitedly.
In the ESPN commentator's seat, Jeff Van Gundy squinted at Su Yang: "He seems to be more popular than Monty."
Mark Jackson nodded: "It's 21 points behind now, just see what he has."
Chapter completed!
