Section 18 Collection Collection
As the red maple leaves at home become redder and redder, they accumulate thicker and thicker.
Young, who had barely appeared in the public eye throughout September, also appeared at the Philadelphia training facility on the last day of September and joined the Philadelphia training camp that had been open for a long time.

"Young, come with me! I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the training facility." Since he arrived early, Yang met the team's equipment manager Scott Rego as soon as he entered the training facility.
"Okay." Young, who was barely familiar with the training gym, simply couldn't refuse Scott Rego's invitation.
"This is the weight room. There are all kinds of strength training equipment, including some you haven't seen in college."
"This is a physical therapy room. You can come here to relax and rest after training or if you feel uncomfortable."
"This is the video room. This place can accommodate the entire team's personnel to analyze the game."
"This is a relaxing cinema. If the head coach doesn't arrange training, you have the opportunity to watch movies. But the movies shown here are really too old. I once saw it showing Roman Holiday."
"It's old enough." Faced with the 1953 movie, Young had no choice but to give in.
"This is my office. Before leaving for the away game, you need to hand over your luggage to me in advance. If you have sponsored sneakers, you also need to hand them over to me in advance. If you do not have sponsorship, you must also explain it in advance."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you something. The league has restricted the color of shoes in the summer. You can wear any color you want." Looking at the black and red aj11 on Yang's feet, Scott Rego thought of something.
thing.
"Okay, next, we will take you to the locker room."
"This is the locker room of the training hall. It is built based on the template of the home locker room. Except that it is wider than the home locker room and has more things, everything else is the same."
"Uh-huh."
"This is your ball cabinet. There is only one McConnell next to it. If there is anything missing in the ball cabinet, call me. This is the key to the bottom of the ball cabinet." After taking Young to the northeast corner, a phone call told Scott
Rego could not continue with his next arrangements.
"Get busy!"
After seeing off the busy Scott Rego, Yang opened the cabinet and first stuffed his Besat headset box into the cabinet. Then he began to take off his jacket and put on training clothes to prepare for training.
"Da, da..." Yang, who was dribbling the ball with his hands low on the sidelines, watched teammates he didn't know come one after another. Apart from smiling, he didn't do anything deliberately.
Thirty minutes later, as Young finished his first set of dribbles, the other 19 players and Brett Brown belatedly appeared on the training ground.
As the 20 people were assembled, Brett Brown began his work:
"Make chicken soup."
It's a pity that the chicken was too old and too poor, which resulted in the chicken soup being stale and inedible.
After ten minutes of such confusion, a voice that sounded like a life-saving voice came over:
"The media are here, and they want to interview Young." Since today is media day, most of the media came to this city that had 18 wins and 64 losses last season in order to interview Young.
…………
…………
The interview was not very long and ended in just twenty minutes.
As he was about to return to the training ground, he was stopped by coach Brett Brown in the tunnel:
"I am going to let you take on the role of team controller in the new season. You must be mentally and physically prepared."
"I know, I will try my best to connect the whole team." Faced with Coach Brown's shocking words, Young did not give any unexpected reaction.
"Well, take advantage of this time to familiarize yourself with the pitchers' sweet spots and comfortable catching positions."
"What are the main ones?"
"Robert Covington. But you also have to find a way to feed Jerami Grant."
"Robert, Jerami, come here." Back at the training ground, Brown called the two of them to Young's exclusive court No. 4.
"I want to see the results of your summer practice. Show it to me now. Starting from the top of the arc, Yang, you come and pass the ball to them while traveling at high speed."
"good."
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish".
"Next, 45 degrees on both sides" After the top of the arc is the test of 45 degrees on both sides.
"Dang swish, swish, swish." The shooting rate of the two of them was 3 out of 5, which was not particularly good.
"end……"
"Boss, let's do training games for testing. Such testing is meaningless." The shooting coach appeared out of nowhere and blocked Brown's request to continue.
"It's not even possible at this level of intensity, let alone training matches."
"But this does not meet the requirements of the game. Our goal is to score in the game, not to throw 5-for-5 or 20-for-20 in training games."
"Well, that makes sense. Let's all assemble!"
…………
…………
"White team: McConnell, McCray, Jacquard Thompson, Carl Landry, Noel"
"Blue team: Young, Stauskas, Covington, Jerami Grant, Richaun Holmes."
"The game lasts 24 minutes. I don't make any technical or tactical requirements, but I don't want to see anyone holding the ball and not letting go."
"ok"
After receiving the jump ball from Holmes, Young with a calm face began to direct his teammates to move:
"Jillian, Nick is on the left."
"Robert, you go to the right side"
After directing the movement, Young arrived one meter outside the three-point line eight seconds ago.
After looking at it, there were all defensive holes in front of Akar Thompson. Young, who couldn't bear to torture him to death, decided to call Aldemir's cover and use someone else to destroy him.
When Aldemir ran out, Noel on the opposite side stayed near the three-second zone without any scruples.
After Aldemir caught up with first-line defender Akar Thompson, Young, who had a shooting environment like a sea, decided to teach this young inside veteran a lesson at the three-point line.
Looking at Young's super long three-pointer, Noel immediately completed preparations to grab the rebound. He seemed not to believe that someone could hit a three-pointer from such a distance.
Unfortunately, a few seconds later
There was a "dong" sound, and the ball, which drew a wonderful arc, had already fallen into the frame without even moving the net.
"What a beautiful goal, what a great talent." The shooting coach who was watching on the sidelines couldn't help but clapped his hands, but the claps got smaller and smaller in the end.
The white team is different from the blue team, which has only one playmaker. They have two backcourts capable of holding the ball.
As the saying goes, there are pros and cons. They got two slightly better ball-handling backcourts, but their team's lack of outside shooting ability greatly made up for the blue team's lack of height and weight to block the penalty area.
As the most important part of making up for it, Young, who was originally staring at Jakar Thompson in the right corner, stood firmly on the edge of the three-second zone, staring eagerly and preparing to break through McCree.
"Bang"
McCree, who has always been known for his toughness, came to give him a hat as expected.
"Counterattack." Young controlled the ball and was about to push for a counterattack when he realized that except for Jerami Grant, whom he had played with in Summer League, all his teammates were far behind.
"Alas!" Even if it was a 2-on-2 that was guaranteed, Young gave up and began to control the speed and shift to a half-court position.
"Yang, I'm here." The greater the disappointment, the greater the hope. When he was a little unhappy, a voice of hope floated over.
Feeling the position, he immediately threw the ball out with one hand. At the same time, in order to increase the chance of hitting, he sent the ball to the pitcher's favorite catching position.
"Uh-huh!" How could such a piece of cake being fed to the mouth be spit out? Covington's three-pointer fell firmly into the net.
…………
…………
In this 24-minute training match, Brown only gave Young a total of 13 minutes of playing time. During this period, he relied on the two accumulations of blowing up the 76ers' remaining wings and desperately dribbling for the shooter. The most assists: 7, and the highest blocks: 4.
