NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

Looking at Long Fei, who was actively warming up, Nash said: "His physical talent is indeed very good, but is there anything special about other players?"

A rookie can give a huge surprise, and Nash is a little puzzled by this statement.

He'd certainly heard that the Mavericks used the No. 5 pick in the draft to draft a player who had no information at all from the draft prediction agency.

Of course, Nash doesn't have any doubts about this, after all, it is Nelson Sr. who makes the decision.

A "master" like old Nelson, whatever he does is normal.

Nash just wondered, what was so special about this rookie in the Dragon Country that could be so valued by old Nelson?

......

Deknowitski immediately gave the answer: "That's so special, two and a half years ago, that guy Long Fei chose to take a break from high school, and went to the glacier at an altitude of 5,000 meters for special training!"

Speaking of this, Nash was quite shocked: "Really fake, can you train at such a high altitude? I have already suffered altitude sickness when I arrive in that kind of place, and if I exercise vigorously, my body will definitely not be able to stand it!".

"That's what I thought at first, until I went to that place and saw Long Fei training there and then playing there, and to be honest, it was a shock to me, not only Long Fei, but also the beautiful ......scenery there," Nowitzki said.

"He's so special!"

......

Soon, the bootcamp began, and the first day was supposed to be just acclimatization.

Everyone is just warming up and feeling after the holidays.

But later, someone suggested that they should play a few offensive and defensive drills to find a feeling.

The so-called offensive and defensive drills are actually similar to playing wild balls, and everyone can play at will.

......

After Long Fei got the opportunity to play

, he was extremely excited! Not only did he improve his defensive concentration, but he also ran all over the court, even if he was a rookie, he was not stage frightened at all!

Although because of his lack of actual combat experience, Long Fei's defensive moves were easy to make bigger and cause fouls.

But his positive performance was recognized by the old Nelson who watched the game.

So, the old Nelson and his "disciple", the team's defensive assistant general Johnson, said: "Avery, train Long Fei well, I need to prepare him to play before the regular season starts

!" The young general nodded confidently: "No problem, Coach Downey!"

......

Since then, Long Fei has become a key player in the Mavericks' defensive special training team, and the content of the special training is to be familiar with the rules of the NBA, teach practical skills, and explain some defensive experience.

Obviously, there is a huge difference between defense and offense!

Offense, every basketball lover will be familiar with the rules of offense since childhood, even if you don't understand it, it doesn't matter, in most cases, as long as you can score the ball, you don't have to think about the rules or anything.

But as a defender, the purpose is to block the opponent's offensive strong point and prevent him from scoring

! This has to consider

the rules! After all, most of the foul rules are aimed at the defender's illegal defense.

In the past two and a half years of studying in Glacier Village, Long Fei has obviously lacked the most practical experience.

Now that the Mavericks have come to the right medicine, almost most of the resources of the defensive training team are tilted towards him, and the importance of this newcomer can be imagined!

......

After more than half a month, Long Fei has made significant progress, and under the careful guidance of the Mavericks coaching staff, Long Fei has been able to defend well under the current rules.

Coupled with

his vocal personality, you can always hear him shouting while he is defending, "Give him to me, I can stop him alone, you just need to shoot that damn basketball in

the Mavericks!" ......on

the Mavericks' training groundSoon, the time came to the end of September, the eve of the NBA preseason.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was impressed by Long Fei's energy on the training court after inspecting the team once, so he chatted with Nelson Sr.: "Coach Downey, where are you going to put Long Fei in the new season?"

This made Cuban a little surprised: "He hasn't really played in the NBA, so you let him start?" "

It doesn't matter if he has played or not, the key is that Long Fei has shown enough competitiveness in training...... If we want to play a balanced offensive and defensive balance, then we must be equipped with defensive strong points on both the inside and outside, and there is Eric (Dampier) under the basket, then we will use Longfei on the outside.

Cuban narrowed his eyes: "Coach Downey, to be honest, since you came to the Mavericks, I have never seen you value a rookie so much, even if it was Dirk at the beginning, no, what qualities does he have that makes you so blue-eyed?"

Old Nelson smiled and said mysteriously: "To be honest, Mark, I'm also betting...... As for what I'm betting on, you'll know as the season progresses. "

......

Soon, the NBA preseason began.

Even in the preseason, Long Fei's system still prompts "You can't get morale points because the game level is not enough." "

It's not even enough for the NBA preseason level, so it looks like the NBA regular season is the lowest level of the game that the system can work properly.

In this way, this [Defensive Master] system is quite demanding!

Not only are the opening conditions extremely harsh, but even the triggering conditions are also conditional.

If the threshold is high, the income must be good.

It is not difficult to see from the rewards given by the [Starter Package] before that they are indeed all good things.

......

In several preseason games, Long Fei was placed in different positions to defend, and also made a lot of adjustments to his playing time and playing order.

On the field, Long Fei's defensive performance was good, and he was once again recognized by his teammates and coaching staff.

However, the data presented is still not very high.

In less than 20 minutes of playing time, he averaged 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal per game.

Dallas fans are still not too interested in him, and everyone still feels that the strength shown by this rookie in the Dragon Country is not commensurate with the No. 5 show.

......

On the media day before the official start of the new season, when a reporter told Long Fei the opinions of Dallas fans, Long Fei said handsomely to the camera: "Don't worry, fans, the summer league and preseason games are just training, I didn't show all my strength, and when the regular season starts, I will definitely surprise you!"

Long Fei has never been a person who likes to be modest.

What's more, in fact, he himself is very much looking forward to what it will be like to use the functions of the system to assist the game after the start of the regular season.

After all, the system has been on for so long, and he hasn't experienced it yet!
