Kidders' outside touch is also very hot.

"With Corey and Shen, outside firepower should no longer be our shortcoming in the new season." Brett said beside Scott while scratching in his notebook.

Scott's brows relaxed slightly and he replied: "What you need for outside firepower is stability. Corey has just returned from injury and has not played for a season, and Shen is a rookie after all and has not experienced the test of the NBA.

Both players need to be watched carefully."

Brett nodded and quickly wrote down Scott's request.

...

After Kidders hit the Answer-ball, the two sides were tied again!

"Shen, the ball he just shot was aimed at you." Jefferson did not forget to whisper in Shentong's ear.

"You don't need to remind me."

Of course STO knows.

When he was in China, Shentong encountered guys who wanted to compete with him for a three-pointer.

But in the end, it often turned into a one-man show for Shentong, and those originally arrogant teenagers quickly disappeared on the field.

However, Shentong found that anyone who likes to shoot three-pointers has an obsessive confidence in their hits no matter what posture they use.

Or dismissive of other people's opinions.

In fact, STO itself is too.

However, Shentong's self-confidence is often different from others.

After all, he has strength.

You are on the second floor, and you think I am on the first floor, but actually I am on the fifth floor.

...

Kidd's passing was a breath of fresh air.

Comfortable.

When it comes to passing the ball alone, we don't take into account the friendship between brothers.

Kidd can kill Arenas instantly.

As soon as Shentong came out of the open space, Kidd's ball had already reached in front of him.

Just catch the ball, no adjustments needed at all.

At the top of the three-point arc, Shentong once again found a good opportunity and jumped high in the face of Van Horn, who was defending.

If Martin's beast dunk is a kind of violent aesthetics.

Kidd's passing is a fluid beauty.

Then STO's three-pointer is an eye-catching meteor.

Comfort from the bottom of my heart.

"What a beautiful gesture." Brett, who had been observing the game, couldn't help but praise it.

"brush"

Familiar notes.

After scoring, Shentong looked directly at Kidders.

A three-pointer?

I have never lost in my last life.

Never in this life!

...

steady!

So stable!

All three of Shentong's shots hit. Even when facing Van Horn's face-to-face block, he still hit the target steadily.

Such a stable rookie shooter is rare in the NBA.

This requires 99% of practice over time...

We need the 1% talent even more!

...

glory.

It's never a one-person game.

Need to set off...

...

"Corey, that rookie has something good," Martin said.

Kidders said nothing.

After experiencing a serious injury, Kidders trained extremely hard before returning to the competition. How could he fall down in an internal competition?

Soon, Kidders used a reverse run to get an opportunity from beyond the three-point line.

After holding the ball, Kidders made a shooting motion.

Shentong, who was already trapped in a sniper situation, naturally thought that the opponent was responding to him with a three-pointer and immediately jumped up to block the shot.

Kidders, who was flying around Shentong, cut in and scored an easy layup.

Too tender.

Kidders' performance on the court showed a veteran player's good mentality and calm mind.

At the same time, STO's shortcomings are revealed.

...

"Shen is a good player, but he still lacks experience." Scott said after watching the ball.

Brett nodded in agreement with Scott.

...

After STO and Jefferson took turns performing, Brian began to stand out on the court.

But the scenes are not very beautiful.

He was not afraid at all when he competed with Kenyon Martin and even Aaron Williams for position under the basket.

Even if he can't get the rebound, he still tries his best to hit the ball to his teammates.

With this courage alone, Brian is one step ahead of Collins.

When the two sides were fighting for the ball on the floor, Brian even threw his 2.06-meter-long body out.

After leaving a wide trail of sweat on the floor, he put the basketball under his crotch.

Over and over again, he tirelessly ran out from the inside to set up pick-and-rolls for Kidd or Shentong.

Who wouldn’t love such a teammate?

Standing on the sidelines, Scott began to understand why this big man with ordinary appearance and mediocre skills was able to make it to the NBA.

It's not because of the lucky aura of his "Victory Cigar".

It’s about the fighting spirit and the courage to always be fearless when you step on the court and give it your all.

...

Facing Kidders' tight defense, Shentong barely made a shot and missed.

At the end of the first match, the two sides were tied.

Shentong performed well, scoring 13 points on 5 of 7 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers.

Jefferson contributed two wonderful dunks and scored 8 points.

Kidd, who was leading the rookies, was almost constantly threading the needle, scoring only 5 points, but only took 2 shots, all of which were hits. In addition, he sent 7 assists, 4 of which came from Shentong's shots.

Kidders, who faced off against STO, performed equally well, scoring 10 points and also hitting 2 three-pointers.

It seems that the competition for the starting shooting guard position in the new season will be extremely fierce.

This does not include veteran guard Lucious Harris, who has played with the Nets for four seasons.

Last season when Kidders was injured, Harris averaged 9.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and a 34.8% three-point shooting rate, which made up for the vacancy left by Kidders.

...

"Although there is only one lottery pick, I feel that the quality of this year's rookies is pretty good, much better than expected." Brett put away his little notebook and said to head coach Scott.

Scott nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this year's rookies all have unique characteristics, and a few of them may become immediate combatants in the new season."

According to Scott's request, most of the first batch of players participating in the match were replaced, and another group of players waiting to be inspected were replaced.

Including the 2.13-meter-tall inside center Todd McClodge from Canada, this year's rookie guard Brandon Armstrong, last season's main shooting guard Lucios Harris and non-drafted players who played for the Chicago Bulls last season.

Team power forward Steve Goodrich and others.

...

Before the second match has even started.

Assistant coach Brett came specially to two junior students from the same school.

"Hey, senior brother!" Shen Tong, who was drinking a sports drink, stopped quickly and took the initiative to say hello to Brett.

Jefferson, who didn't know the situation, looked confused.

Big brother?

"Good fight, boys." Brett responded with a smile.

"What's going on?" Jefferson whispered to Shentong.

"The assistant coach in front of us, Brett Briermire, graduated from the University of Arizona and is a veritable senior brother." Shentong quickly introduced.

I didn’t expect STO’s preparations to be so thorough.

Brett showed an appreciative expression.

Of course he didn't know that preparing for a rainy day was a good habit Shentong developed while studying at Peking University.
Chapter completed!
