    The NBA summer league is not an official league, but is organized by some teams during the offseason.

    This tournament was first initiated by the Utah Jazz. At that time, it was also called the "Rocky Mountain Summer League" and was founded in 1984.

    The original purpose was just to promote the Jazz in the Utah area, and the participating teams were also composed of alumni from various universities.

    Starting in 1990, the Jazz invited the Trail Blazers, Suns and Kings to participate in the event; in 1998, there were 16 teams participating, but in the end the popularity of the league went from bad to worse.

    In 2009, the "Rocky Mountain Summer League" was officially suspended due to too few participating teams.  In 2015, the Jazz revived the league, but it was renamed the "Utah Summer League."

    The Heat are not participating in the "Rocky Mountain Summer League", but the "Orlando Summer League", which is hosted by the Orlando Magic.

    There are 6 participating teams this year, namely the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Minnesota Timberwolves.

    (ps: The Orlando Summer League was actually held for the first time in 2001, and the Heat did not send a lineup to compete until 2003. Lao Wang did it purely to promote the plot, readers please don¡¯t complain!)

    The Heat's lineup is pretty good, and they are already considered "strong" in the summer league.

    The first is this year¡¯s rookies Eddie House and Ernest Brown. The two rookies must test their quality in the summer league before setting foot in the NBA.

    Then there are A.C. Green, Brian Grant, Cedric Ceballos and Anthony Mason who just joined the team this year. These are all veterans who have been in the NBA for many years. They come to the summer league mainly to maintain their condition.  Considering the injury risks of the veterans, their playing time will certainly not be very long.

    The real ¡°greats¡± are the two swingmen Eddie Jones and Ricky Davis.

    Last season, Eddie Jones averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, making him an All-Star!

    Although Ricky Davis only averaged 4.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the 1999-00 season, I believe many fans know this guy.

    In the 2002-03 season, he was able to average 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game with the Cavaliers, which is definitely enough to be the boss of a team.

    Although this guy¡¯s IQ and EQ are clearly lacking, his shot selection is poor, and his offensive efficiency is low, he did once serve as the boss of the Cavaliers back thenalbeit briefly!

    Otherwise, this product will not be in front of the reporter, saying that famous "I think the team chooses LeBron is to assist me"!

    In fact, in the original 2000-01 season, Ricky Davis did not get many opportunities with the Heat. He only played 7 games in total, averaged only 10 minutes per game, and averaged 4.1 points per game.  Rebounds, 1.6 assists even worse than his performance the previous season.

    Therefore, in this summer league, Spoelstra did not regard Ricky Davis as the team's main strength.

    In addition to the above 8 people, there is another person in the Heat's lineup, and that is Wang Dalin!

    As early as three days ago, he has completed the first three tasks of the second stage. Currently, his mid-range shooting is "up to" 79, physical strength is 60, and strength is 53, which are all stronger than during the draft trial.

    His originally weak confrontation ability has been greatly improved, and his already good mid-range shooting has been qualitatively improved.

    With the strength increased by 3 points again and the mid-range shot increased by 8 points, his current comprehensive ability value has also reached 72.  It can be said that in 2000, a small draft year, there should be less than 10 people better than him.

    Although there is nothing to be proud of in being better than a bunch of rookies, at this time, he has indeed changed his skills, and a "new version" of Wang Dalin has been released!

    The schedule of the summer league is very tight. The first two days of the preliminaries are double matches on the same day. The game times are 10 am and 8 pm respectively.

    ? July 9th against the Pistons and Cavaliers, July 10th against the Bucks and Timberwolves, and July 11th against the Magic on the night.

    After the 5 preliminaries, the top four teams will advance to the semi-finals on July 12 based on their results, and finally the third, fourth, and champion runner-up will be decided on July 13.

    On July 8, Wang Dalin followed the team to Orlando.  That night, in the small multi-purpose hall of the hotel, Spoelstra convened everyone for a simple pre-match meeting.

    At the meeting, Spoelstra first decided on the starting lineup for the game, which were center A.C. Green, power forward Brian Grant, small forward Cedric Ceballos, shooting guard Eddie Jones, and point guard Eddie Jones.  Dee House.

    Of course, veterans cannot play for too long. In fact, this team?In the summer league, Ernest Brown, Wang Dalin, Ricky Davis and Eddie House will all get a lot of playing time.

    For the sake of record, maybe Spoelstra will let Eddie Jones play a little longer.

    Since he became the team¡¯s assistant coach, this is the first time Spoelstra has led the team alone. He can¡¯t go back to finish last or second, right?

    Even if the main purpose of the summer league is to examine new players, it would still be a bit embarrassing if the record is too low.

    "I would like to remind you all again, use pick-and-rolls as much as possible when attacking, and don't hesitate when there is space for shooting!"

    At the end of the meeting, Spoelstra repeatedly emphasized: "You are not allowed to act recklessly with the ball!"

    When he said this, he stared straight at Ricky Davis. Everyone present had good basketball IQs, but this guywell, he would shed tears if he said it too much!

    If the team wasn¡¯t eager to get Eddie Jones and Anthony Mason, how could they accept this parallel import?

    That¡¯s right, at this time, Ricky Davis not only stretched his hips in offense, but was also not active in defense. Everyone generally thought that he was a parallel import!

    After the meeting, everyone got up and returned to their rooms. Only Wang Dalin was left alone by Spoelstra.

    "Wang, I know you have made great progress during this period, so don't be nervous tomorrow" Spoelstra seemed to be carefully considering his words, paused here, "Relax  ¡­ Show your skills and try to get Pat to give you a contract when the summer league is over!¡±

    "I understand, coach!" Wang Dalin bowed respectfully to the young Filipino coach, "Thank you very much for your help during this time!"

    It seems that everything is going well, but Wang Dalin knows very well that without Spoelstra's recommendation, Wang Dalin may not have a chance to participate in the summer league.

    After returning to the room, he took a shower and went to bed quickly.

    ¡­¡­

    At 10 a.m. the next day, the first game started on time. The Heat entered the state from the beginning and led the Pistons 17:8 in less than half a quarter.

    Eddie Jones has indeed entered his peak period. In just over 5 minutes, he scored 8 points on sudden shots, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He is in good condition.

    The Pistons were forced to call the first timeout, hoping to take this opportunity to cool off Jones' hand, but Jones did not play after the timeout ended.

    Spoelstra directly performed a 4-for-4, and only Eddie House remained on the court in the starting lineup.

    Since Grant, the starting power forward, is still on the court, and Ernest Brown, the meat shield, must play center, Wang Dalin¡¯s position is small forward, and his opponent on the court at this moment is Billy Owens.

    The No. 3 overall pick in 1991 has been playing in the NBA for many years. He is suffering from injuries and his steps are now very old. Moreover, he is only 6 feet 8 inches (203cm) tall. Wang Dalin feels that he has an advantage against him.  .

    Eddie House was just a rookie. After dribbling the ball halfway, he immediately passed the ball to Grant, the oldest player on the court. However, Grant's position was not very good, so he passed the ball without hesitation.  It was given to Wang Dalin outside the three-point line on the wing.

    Owens slid up and reached out to grab the ball.

    Wang Dalin turned sideways and raised his left arm to support it. He grabbed the ball with his right hand and stretched it out backwards. His movements were very handsome.

    "Well, the first goal of my career will start with you!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
