The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Six o'clock!

In other words, this guy got up at least after 5 o'clock.

This is really unlimited energy!

"It's so early, it's hard to get a car." Thompson continued.

Butler nodded with a smile.

Today, in addition to their daily training, they will also play 2-on-2.

Butler is playing Irving's previous role.

His defense is definitely better than Irving's, but his offense... is a bit worse.

As a result, Thompson did not escape the fate of continuing to be ravaged.

He just can't beat Tang Tian!

"This is not fair!"

After Thompson lost again, he patted his butt and sat on the ground.

"Why don't you go with Tang?" Walker said with a smile.

"No, I'm going to fight him." Although he lost badly, Thompson still had his own arrogance.

"I'll be in a team with Jimmy." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Walker nodded.

Originally, Irving and Walker were point guards, and Tang Tian and Thompson were swingmen, so they both happened to be able to match up.

As a result, it is now replaced by Butler, who is also a swingman of the forward and guard.

Walker wants Thompson to experience the feeling of winning.

Thompson nodded.

2-on-2 is different from 1-on-1. Teammates are actually a very important link.

He also wanted to see if it was his own fault or because of his teammates that he kept losing to Tang Tian.

"Jimmy, you guard Clay."

Tang Tian turned to Butler and said.

Butler nodded, and he seemed to cherish the opportunity to practice.

"Don, be careful."

Walker held the ball outside the three-point line and said to Tang Tian with a smile.

Counting it, the last time the two faced each other was back when Tang Tian had his first training session at Kang University.

The two have been teammates since then, and they didn't match up because of their different positions in the NBA. This is the first time since then.

Walker received key training last season, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. This is also a kind reminder between brothers: I'm going to fuck you.

"You too."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He also wants to see how much Walker has improved now.

Walker lowered his center of gravity, then made a sudden change of direction.

He and Irving's playing style is really different. The core of the breakthrough technique is the first step.

Compared with his college days, he is really much faster.

However, Tang Tian was no longer the same as he was in college. With a step back and anticipation, he successfully blocked Walker's way.

Walker changed direction again.

Because of the close proximity, Tang Tian couldn't keep up, but he chased from behind and prepared to block the shot.

Butler came to help defend at this time.

Walker directly hit the ground and passed the ball.

Thompson caught the ball and made a layup.

1:0.

Walker's passing awareness and ability at UConn are not top-notch, but this round just now shows his progress in the NBA in the past year.

"yeah!"

Thompson was very excited after scoring a goal, and went straight to Walker for a high-five.

It seems that when Tang Tian played in the playoffs, Thompson and Walker cultivated a deeper relationship than before through training.

Poaching.

"Jimmy, you don't need to defend, pay attention to Clay's air cut." Tang Tian turned to Butler and said.

Butler nodded.

Walker continued to attack with the ball from the outside.

Thompson made an empty cut to the basket for the first time.

Butler followed very closely this time, and always kept his position on the side with the ball, cutting off Walker's passing route.

In terms of defensive skills alone, Butler is actually not bad.

Walker's violent first step was blocked by Tang Tian again, this time he chose to make a big change to prepare to pass Tang Tian.

"Snapped!"

But the moment he raised the height of his dribble, Tang Tian directly cut off the ball in his hand.

Fast, ruthless, accurate.

Dynamic vision training is not for nothing.

You must know that Tang Tian has no time, and the training intensity in this area has never been reduced.

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he gave it to Butler.

Although Butler's offensive skills cannot be compared with Irving's, his ball handling skills are much better than him.

They don't have a point guard, so ball protection becomes very important.

Butler dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, and Thompson immediately defended himself.

Tang Tian made an empty cut to the basket at this time.

Walker chased after him.

When Tang Tian reached the basket, he leaned against Walker and stretched out his hand.

Butler puts the ball in.

Tang Tian caught the ball and turned around to put the basket.

Walker can't interfere at all.

1:1.

Although Tang Tian doesn't have many offensive skills around the basket, he is a small forward after all, with his body right there.

Not to mention a head taller than Walker, even his confrontation is much stronger than Walker.

Butler continued to hold the ball.

This time Walker obviously stepped up to prevent Tang Tian from going to the basket.

Tang Tian had no chance. Butler made an attack with the ball himself, but was blocked by Thompson.

Among the four of them, except for Walker who is a point guard and has obvious physical disadvantages, the other three have to be tall, have defensive skills and have defensive opportunities. It is really not that easy to score.

The ball was exchanged, and Walker continued to attack Tang Tian. This time, he accelerated past Tang Tian and walked towards the basket with a small lever in the air.

"boom!"

However, Tang Tian's judgment was very accurate, and he directly gave Walker a chasing hat.

"Come. on!"

After Walker was blocked, he couldn't help complaining. Tang Tian didn't know if he was trying to get revenge on his relationship with Thompson. This was really cruel!

Tang Tian smiled, there is no other way, his brother will settle the score.

The defensive intensity on both sides was high and it became difficult to score.

But in comparison, Tang Tian's team's score increase rate is obviously faster.

The combination of Butler and Tang Tian is too strong on the defensive end.

Except for Thompson stealing the first ball, there is no chance to score in this 2v2, and Walker is also very inefficiently defended by Tang Tian.

In the end, the five-ball confrontation lasted for half an hour.

Tang Tian and the others finally won 5-3.

Thompson sat on the floor after the spanking, and Walker bent over to catch his breath.

Tang Tian and Butler stood there, their expressions basically unchanged.

Tang Tian has the skill of mask man, and this protracted battle is his forte.

But Butler, this guy is really something to blame!

For the next period of time, their daily training content will be relatively fixed. They will practice themselves first, and then play 2v2.

After Thompson and Walker became teammates, they still kept losing...

He also finally determined that the loss was not due to his teammates. After all, Tang Tian had been partnering with Walker before.

There is an obvious strength gap between him and Tang Tian.

But having this kind of understanding not only didn't make him discouraged, but made him more excited and worked harder during training.

This is the personality attribute. Some people will become resentful and unhappy in the face of failure and disparity, but some people will face difficulties and become more courageous as they fight.

Thompson is clearly the latter.

But compared to Thompson's training efforts, Tang Tian and Walker were more surprised by Butler.

At first they thought Butler came by taxi, but later they found out that this guy ran four or five kilometers to the training hall every morning!

And he gets up earlier every day.

One day, Tang Tian woke up at four o'clock in the morning to go to the bathroom, and found that Butler was already packing up and getting ready to go!

What the hell, Butler is a Lu Xun fan!

Chapter 294 2012 NBA Draft (2/5)

Lu Xun was late for the private school, and after being taught by the private school teacher to arrive early, he carved the word "Zao" on the desk.

After that, he was always early, everything was early, and he struggled all his life.

Butler certainly didn't know Lu Xun's "Zao" article, but the road to the world has always led to the same goal.

Just like the motto of the Spurs locker room and the truth that a drop of water wears a stone, Butler is probably already on the floor...

Tang Tian glanced at the floor, then looked up at Butler.

"The view of New York at four o'clock in the morning is also beautiful, you can enjoy it."

"Yes, I know, I've seen Chicago."

After Butler finished speaking, he went out first.

Tang Tian shook his head with a smile, it seemed that Butler had engraved that early word in his heart.

But according to this trend, does this guy also want to see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?

Their training lasted less than half a month, and Walker and Tang Tian went to Madison Square Garden together.
