Chapter 19 Get a New Badge
"A very strong desire to win, with NBA-level individual defense capabilities, and his shooting has improved." A senior scout recorded in a small notebook.
The scout is Brian Wright, the chief scout for the San Antonio Spurs.
Previously, Wright gave Sun Yi's game videos and scouting reports to his boss Popovich.
After reading it, Popovich became very interested in Sun Yi and decided to ask Wright to follow up and give him a scouting report on Sun Yi every week.
"I have to remind the boss that if you want to select Sun with a pick at the end of the second round, you may not be able to pick it up."
Wright feels that Sun Yi has great potential, and with the overall strength of Davidson College this year, it is basically certain that he will enter March Madness.
By then, Sun Yi's value will definitely rise. As long as he participates in the draft, he will definitely not be selected at the end of the second round, and he will have to increase his weight.
After making a plan, Wright turned his head and looked at several colleagues not far away from him, and became more determined in his mind.
Return to the court, the timeout ends, and the game continues.
After returning from the timeout, the situation on the court remained unchanged.
Although the University of Memphis made some adjustments, it still couldn't prevent the Wildcats' offense.
In addition to a mid-range shot, Sun Yi also has cutting skills without the ball, which caused great damage to the University of Memphis' defense.
Under the control of Sun Yi, other Wildcats players also worked hard, scoring frequently and taking the absolute initiative on the court.
Although the University of Memphis could not limit the Wildcats' offense, their offense was also not hindered and they were still able to score consecutive points and hold on to the score without letting the point difference widen further.
Wildcats head coach Mike Lopp quickly made adjustments, changed the defensive method, and adopted a zone defense.
The University of Memphis players were a little helpless against the Wildcats' sudden zone defense.
There is no player with excellent three-point shooting ability in their lineup, and their attempts to make a fuss near the free throw line have come to an abrupt end.
This is when the role of the big white border comes into play.
In the NCAA, his assist defense ability is considered top-notch. Relying on his strong mobility and height and wingspan, he can interfere with opponents near the free throw line.
After the University of Memphis' offense was blocked, it hit the ground one after another and lost the opportunity to chase points.
The Wildcats took the opportunity to further widen the point difference.
During this period, Sun Yi received a pass from Curry, luckily lit up his bond badge, and hit his first three-pointer of the game.
Just like that, the first half of the game ended. The score on the big screen was 36 to 50. The Wildcats led by 14 points entering the second half.
After a short 15-minute break, the second half of the game began.
After the start of the second half, the University of Memphis was still helpless and could not find a way to limit the Wildcats' offense.
Curry took advantage of the University of Memphis' defensive chaos and seized the opportunity to hit consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line.
Sun Yi also scored a three-pointer, plus the three-pointer in the first half. He made two of three three-pointers, with a pretty good shooting percentage, and once again maintained his status as a three-point shooter.
The Wildcats played a wave of offense and completely opened the point difference to more than 20 points, making the game lose suspense 10 minutes early.
Sun Yi, Curry and others were taken off the court early to rest. It can be said that they clocked out in the third quarter.
After that, the head coaches of both sides had a tacit understanding and did not ask for a timeout. The game process was very smooth and it soon came to an end.
In the end, Davidson College defeated the University of Memphis 81-64 and achieved a complete victory in the preseason.
Just after the game ended, the fans at the scene burst into warm applause and cheers.
Judging from these preseason games, they believe that this year's Wildcats will be able to achieve another great result in March Madness.
At the same time, the best player of the game was displayed on the big screen.
Curry, who has always dominated the rankings, failed to be elected consecutively. This pattern was broken by Sun Yi, who was elected the best player of the game for the first time.
In the 25 minutes he played, Sun Yi scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
The other two members of the Wildcat trio also gained good data.
Curry made 6 of 12 three-pointers and scored 22 points and 7 assists; Bai Bian scored a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
After returning to the locker room, all the Wildcats players simply celebrated and then waited for the head coach to make the next arrangements.
"Although it is gratifying to win the preseason, it is just a warm-up match. The new season is coming. I hope you will maintain a good competitive state and meet any challenges."
After McClop poured cold water on him, he continued: "We still have to train tomorrow, but we can't be late. Disband!"
After McClop finished speaking, he led the team out of the locker room.
After McClop left, the Wildcats players became active again, communicated for a while, and then left the locker room in twos and threes.
Sun Yi did not leave. He changed his equipment and practiced with Dabai Bian for two hours before leaving the training hall together.
…
…
After the preseason ends, the Southern Conference regular season will begin one week later.
During this period of time, Sun Yi specially found Kuli to make wool wool.
Curry did not shirk and readily agreed.
The new season is coming, and he has to train hard to stay in top condition. He even put down all his appointments with Ayesha and devotes himself to training wholeheartedly.
In Curry's words: Women will only affect the speed of my shooting!
Sun Yi was very relieved to see his good brother change his mind.
Therefore, in the following days, the Sun Yi trio would stay after daily training and practice for four hours before leaving the gym.
On average, Sun Yi can obtain 3,000 training points every day.
Without Curry and just relying on training every day, Sun Yi may have to wait until the end of the year to upgrade the system again.
In addition to gaining training points, Sun Yi's duel ability has also been rapidly improved.
Now that Sun Yi and Curry are duel, they will no longer be tortured unilaterally.
Relying on his height and physical advantages, he has been able to play back and forth with Curry without losing the upper hand.
After a week, Sun Yi had saved about 50,000 training points, but there was still a long way to go to upgrade the system.
Although the system cannot be upgraded, its strength can be enhanced through other methods.
During the latest [Exchange Mall] refresh, the badge was finally refreshed again.
The first few refreshes were either nutrient solutions or training bonus cards, and I didn’t even see the shadow of the badge.
Moreover, before, Sun Yi was a poor guy and couldn't afford to buy a badge.
Now is a rare opportunity, so I will buy it no matter what.
"Although the system has not been upgraded, badges can still improve your strength and make up for your own shortcomings."
Sun Yi was determined and spent 5,000 training points to redeem the badge [Arc Top Dealing].
[Arc Top Dealing]
Grade: Bronze
Effect: When the wearer holds the ball at the top of the arc, the passing ability and accuracy will be greatly improved, and the receiver's shooting percentage will be slightly improved.
Upgrade conditions: Complete 20 assists and 1,000 training points in official games.
After checking the details of the badge, Sun Yi was very satisfied and installed the badge into the badge card slot.
At this stage, Sun Yi has a total of 5 badge card slots.
There are initially three card slots, and upgrades unlock two card slots.
According to the current situation, the card slot is completely sufficient, so there is no need to worry.
After finishing his work, Sun Yi spent 300 training points to enter the virtual dreamland, choose individual passing training, and become familiar with the effects of the badge.
Chapter completed!
