Cassell's words directly overturned Sanders' decades of basketball understanding!
He stared at Cassel with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see the flowers on the latter's alien-like face!
"Sam, you can't joke like this!"
Cassel certainly knows what he is doing and what he means!
He also stared into Sanders' eyes and said solemnly, "I mean, in just a few months, his passing level has improved a lot!"
Sanders only felt that he had been struck by lightning!
Even though the No. 1 pick was on his team, he still shook his head blankly and muttered to himself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Sanders' behavior is very normal.
Because for ordinary professional players, among the two items of basketball vision and passing technique, with the increase of game experience and age, only the passing technique will get slightly better, but the improvement is not big, at most In other words, it can reduce a few mistakes.
Only some historical players can make great progress in passing skills after increasing their game experience.
Their performance is that their assists can increase significantly without increasing their turnovers, or they can improve their assist-to-turnover ratio while maintaining their already high number of assists!
But even this kind of talented player, a player whose selling point is passing, still needs several years of polishing before he can see results!
As for basketball vision, in professional basketball, it is almost a consensus that this thing is born!
In other words, the skill of passing is not only the most scarce talent in the NBA, but also the most difficult skill to improve!
But now someone told Sanders that there is a guy on their team who has improved his passing level from the NCAA level to the top of the league in a few months!
How could this not make him feel that it was nonsense!
But the fact is here, and he has to accept it no matter how hard it is to accept. Furthermore, the stronger Li Kaiming is, the greater he will improve the team!
It's not just Sanders who understands this, but also some players on the court.
Especially after Nick Young and Al Thornton were replaced on the bench, the Wizards players suddenly discovered that the starting offense was playing extremely smoothly!
It's not because Nick Young and Thornton are not as good as Sun Yue and Hudson, but because the latter two have a good understanding with Li Kaiming, and Li Kaiming is also very happy to pass the ball to them!
This makes most of the old people in the team feel itchy!
Before that, they thought that after Li Kaiming joined the team, they would not only have less possession of the ball, but their data would also decline!
But one training match made them understand that playing with Li Kaiming has only advantages and no disadvantages!
Even people of the caliber of Hudson and Sun Yue can enjoy themselves by Li Kaiming's side. Is it possible that they are not as good as these two substitutes?
Furthermore, even if they want to go against Li Kaiming, they still have to consider whether they are qualified or not!
Didn’t you see what Nick Young did to this rookie?
Since you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy it!
Especially Nick Young, he even regrets offending Li Kaiming now!
Because his favorite thing to do is to throw three-pointers!
He is the person with the deepest obsession with three-pointers in the entire Wizards team, even Arenas is not as good as him!
With a teammate like Li Kaiming who has full offensive power inside and strong passing ability, wouldn't everyone be open outside the three-point line?
When the average points per game goes up, big contracts will come soon...
Thinking of this, Nick Yang turned green!
I wish I could slap myself twice in public!
Not to mention Arenas. With teammates like Li Kaiming, he believes that he will be able to lead the team into the playoffs this season!
Let those stupid 13 media themselves be the cancer brushes!
Yes, Li Kaiming directly made himself the number two player in the team after Arenas through a training match!
Nick Young, the original No. 2, willingly gave up his spot.
Not only is he willing, he also has to thank us!
Looking at the Wizards who were defeated by him within a short time, Li Kaiming had serious doubts about those rumors on the Internet!
Whose rookie has to serve tea and water to the veteran and carry his luggage? I think my teammates treat me very well...
Sun Yue and Hamady Trevor Booker looked at Li Kaiming's comfortable look and shed tears of envy!
Of course you don’t have to serve tea or water, because we’ve done all the work!
…
Time flies, and two months pass in the blink of an eye. After the initial friction, the Wizards players gradually became familiar with each other.
After more than a month of training, they began to have a tacit understanding, and the arrival of Li Kaiming made the Wizards immediately come alive.
Coach Saunders looks at the team that is becoming more and more perfect and has more and more confidence in the new season.
In late September, it was less than a month before the start of the 2010-2011 season, and more than a week before the preseason.
The 25th is the day when the Wizards official makeup photos will be taken.
Li Kaiming and all the Wizards players put on the Wizards' home jerseys. Everyone was smiling and posing in various poses for the camera!
In addition to taking a group photo with the team in this makeup photo, there is also a more representative photo of the team's starting lineup and the team's core group photo.
Because from these two photos, we can see whether the team's lineup has changed dramatically and whether their core players have changed.
The Wizards' starting lineup didn't exceed most expectations.
Arenas, Nick Young, Al Thornton, Kaiming Li and Blatche.
But the group photo of the core of the team surprised many people!
Because many people predict that the No. 1 pick Li Kaiming will be just an ordinary starter in the team from the beginning, and at best he will be the third in charge.
Behind Arenas and Nick Young.
But in the group photo of the team's core, there are only two people, Li Kaiming and Arenas.
This made many anti-fans who looked down on Li Kaiming a little defensive!
"Is there something wrong with Sanders' brain? Even if he is the number one pick, let him be the second pick!"
"Nick Young played well, but he was kicked directly... If I were Nick Young, I would apply for a trade, what the hell!"
"Although I don't agree with seniority in professional sports, can Li Kaiming really be able to take on the role of second-in-command of the Wizards? I have reservations..."
Such comments are common.
Of course, the vast majority of such fans are from America, and fans in China still mainly support Li Kaiming.
"The Wizards have vision! Hahaha!"
"I feel like the second boss is a bit inferior. Li Kaiming's summer league statistics are simply abnormal!"
"Take your time, Arenas can't delegate power as soon as he comes up, but sooner or later the boss of the Wizards will be Li Kaiming!"
In this discussion, time is slowly flowing, and the preseason of the new season is getting closer...
The preseason will start in three days. For the veterans of the Wizards, they are already familiar with this rhythm and live as normal.
The new players and rookies are a little nervous and excited. They have been raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. It's time for them to show themselves.
Li Kaiming was also very excited, but he was not excited because of the start of his rookie season, but because of the news from China that his signature shoe "Kaiming Generation" was officially released!
Hongxinerke attaches great importance to his rookie season, and finally released Li Kaiming's signature shoes before the start of the season!
This is an important step for Hongxinerke to open up the international market!
Li Kaiming is very popular in America, and his opening game of the new season will definitely be watched by a large number of fans. If Hongxinerke ignores this opportunity, wouldn't it be digging his own grave?
