1574 Duel, dare you!?
Although Doug is on the team roster, he has not appeared on the team for two years and has not played a game for the Kings. New
Everyone from the Kings to the owners and fans have almost forgotten that the Kings have such a number one figure.
Originally, Doug didn't plan to come back this year.
After knowing Wang Yi's comeback, he planned to wait until next season to join another team, so that he would have the opportunity to challenge Wang Yi who became stronger.
But now the Kings are missing Danny and are in an extremely difficult situation. This situation has inspired his fighting spirit, so he plans to make a comeback.
Having said that, fate is really a strange thing.
Everyone thought Wang Yi and Doug Laimbeer were mortal enemies.
No one could have imagined that three years later, Wang Yi and Doug Laimbeer would become teammates. Moreover, when the team was in the most difficult situation and Wang Yi needed help the most, Doug Laimbeer came back to help Wang Yi.
When Mitchell saw that Doug Laimbeer was here to help the team, his anger subsided a little.
An Jiali was secretly thinking at this time. With Doug's help, the Kings should be able to compete with the Pelicans.
Around 10:00, when the other team members arrived, they all felt a little surprised when they saw Doug, who was shirtless and sweaty from training.
Some players didn't even know Doug was on the team.
Head coach D'Antoni was not surprised.
He had already communicated with Doug yesterday and asked Doug to have a comprehensive physical examination.
The team doctor confirmed that although his body has not recovered to 100%, he is ready to play.
So D'Antoni explained Doug's purpose to everyone.
Although Doug has not appeared on the team for nearly two years, he has actually been on the team's roster.
Each team can sign 15 players, but only 12 players can enter the active list in each game.
This means that only 12 players can play in each game.
Doug has not been on the active list due to injury.
D'Antoni also improvised and invited Doug out.
He will be on the active list for the next game against the Pelicans.
The Pelicans currently do not know this news.
Even if they knew, Doug hadn't played in a game for two years, so they wouldn't take him seriously.
D'Antoni hopes Doc will become a surprise player.
However, except for Wang Yi and a few players, the other players on the Kings team are not very interested in Granbill.
Although he was famous four or five years ago, he once had three kills with one kick, which frightened all the players.
But now four or five years have passed. During these four or five years, he has hardly achieved anything famous, so young people today don't recognize him.
Everyone just said hello to Doug briefly and then went to train separately.
But Wang Yi and Doug did not train according to the training plan set by the coach.
Wang Yi has his own personal trainer. Although his training plan is consistent with the team's training plan, some of it is independent of the team's training plan.
For example, this morning, the team's training plan was based on the Pelicans' one-star and four-shooter system, which involves switching between defending the interior and defending the three-point line.
But Wang Yi will not participate in such training this morning. His training plan is footwork training.
How to make your steps faster and more flexible.
As for Doug Laimbeer, he had no intention of following the coach's training plan.
Instead, he pointed at Wang Yi and said, "Wang, do you dare to challenge me to a duel?"
Wang Yi, who was about to move his wrists to continue training, heard these words and couldn't help but feel a trace of fighting spirit burning in his heart.
Turning to look at Doug.
"Single-on-one? Do you think you beat me?"
Doug chuckled: "How will you know if you don't try."
Wang Yi spread his hands: "Okay, come on."
Coco next to him said to Wang Yi: "Wang, you still have a training plan."
"It doesn't matter, it won't take long to fight him one on one."
Coco could only shrug at An Jiali next to her, shook her head, and shook her ponytails accordingly.
Doug grabbed a ball from the ground with one hand, shook his head to Wang Yi, and motioned for them to go to the other end of the court for a duel.
Wang Yi followed immediately.
Mitchell, Anjiali, Coco, and an assistant coach also quickly followed.
When head coach D'Antoni saw this, he hesitated for a moment, then clapped his hands and asked other players to stop training and follow him to watch.
The one-on-one duel between these two people will definitely not be a simple matter of hitting a few balls. It will definitely be a thunder and fire, and sparks will hit the earth. Let other players take a look and maybe learn something.
Doug took the ball and came to the free throw line. He turned back to Wang Yi and said: "The first to score 21 points wins."
Then he waved to the assistant coach next to him:
"The two of us want to jump the ball, you throw the ball."
The assistant coach nodded, glanced at Wang Yi, Wang Yi nodded to him, and he immediately came to the free throw line, holding the ball in his hand.
Wang Yi and Doug stood on both sides of the free throw line, ready to take off.
Wang Yi's bounce has recovered a bit now, but he is 16 centimeters shorter than Doug, so he obviously suffers when jumping the ball.
Seeing the ball being thrown up, Wang Yi knew that this guy would not be able to jump the ball honestly, but would definitely do some tricks.
So before he took off, he was on guard against the possibility that he would use a secret move while taking off.
However, this lesson opened Wang Yi's eyes, and he neither pushed nor pulled him.
But when taking off, the toe of his right foot gently stepped on Wang Yi's toe.
In this way, Wang Yi would not jump as early as him.
In the end, the jump ball was easily won by Doug.
The surrounding players didn't understand. When they saw that Wang Yi didn't take off, they thought that Wang Yi knew he couldn't jump, so he gave up.
Doug didn't have many offensive methods. His main function was to defend. So when facing Wang Yi, he didn't choose to break through. Instead, he turned his back and pressed Wang Yi with his body.
, and began to press in using his weight advantage.
Naturally, Wang Yi would not let him press in easily.
As he pressed in, he kept pushing his crotch against the guy's buttocks.
In short, it makes him uncomfortable dribbling.
However, he was still pushed to the basket by that guy.
Then he turned around, faced the basket, swayed, and after shaking Wang Yi, when Wang Yi fell, he jumped up high, shouted loudly, and violently dunked the basket.
After landing, he stared at Wang Yi: "You are so weak!"
Wang Yi chuckled and said: "Such a one-on-one challenge is interesting."
If you fight this guy in a one-on-one fight, you're really going to be the best.
