Chapter 168: Inspirational Sun and Super Yao
The figure in the crowd is clearly Sun Yue, a friend of the Knicks rookie in the national team!
Although Sun Yi was surprised in his heart, he did not stop walking towards the team's locker room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIsn't he on the Lakers, how did he come here for a tryout? Was he cut by the team? Why don't you notify me when you come here? ……
A series of questions have been quickly run by the guy's brain, and he has already guessed eight or nine. Hey! I didn't expect this guy, who usually looks heartless, to be so proud in his heart.
After Sun Yi simply took a hot shower and changed his clothes, he did not leave the team's training hall in a hurry. Instead, he found a remote corner in the stadium and observed the performance of his tryouts that he hadn't seen his friends for a long time.
As the main force of the Chinese national men's basketball team, Sun Yue still has a very obvious advantage in the confrontation with this group of NBL players. He has good athleticism, and at 2.04 meters he looks very flexible. can run, jump, pass and shoot, and the performance is quite comprehensive.
……
"Hey! Brother Sun, you don't say hello to your brother when you come to New York. ”
Sun Yue, who had just finished the trial, heard a voice that was extremely familiar and the least wanted to hear. After hesitatingly turning around, an ugly smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Yi, didn't I just arrive in New York, and I haven't had time to contact you yet."
"Oh, my car is in the parking lot, license plate sun888, you go to the car and wait for me first." Sun Yi forced his car key into the other party's hand, "It won't be long, let's get together at my house later." ”
Watching his friend fade away, the Knicks rookie walked to the side of the team's vice president and head coach who were whispering.
"Mike, if there is no one in this group of players that you can fancie, I am afraid it will be difficult to find the right person for the time being." Chapman, the team's vice president in charge of basketball, has contacted nearly ten batches of trial players. Unfortunately, D'Antoni, who is quite demanding, has never liked it.
"Dude, you've been working hard lately. Among today's group of players, I fell in love with ......" The mustache who looked down at the tryout list and spoke, suddenly felt that there was another person next to him.
The signing of players is a team secret and must not be known by outsiders. When D'Antoni looked up alertly, he spotted a grinning face in front of the two of them.
"Coach, who do you like?" The Chinese rookie who came to Chapman and D'Antoni in a big way just heard the unfinished words of the head coach.
"Why don't you go back to rest after training, this is not your time to practice at night." Chapman, as the No. 2 man on the Knicks after owner Dolan, is very clear about the few players who take the initiative to practice every day.
"Hey, hey! Boss, I just met an acquaintance and delayed for a while. "A Chinese guy who asks for help is still very good at talking.
Chapman inadvertently saw D'Antoni's finger and the name of the player pointed to on the trial list, and instantly understood what the other party meant.
"Okay, Sun, what do you think of Sun Yue's player? We'd like to hear from you. The words of the vice president of the team made Sun Yi feel flattered at the same time, and at the same time opened up a soil for growing ambition in his heart.
After the league newcomer entered the Knicks, in addition to his excellent performance on the court, his presence on the team became stronger and stronger. Through what Sun Yi has done since he joined the team, it is not difficult to find that this is a very ambitious guy.
First, Harrington, who was excluded from the team, did not rush to strike first. Instead, he waited until all those who opposed him jumped out before he took action. Catch them all, cut the grass and eradicate the roots! If Harrington hadn't been the first to take a stand, I'm afraid the Knicks, the super sixth man, wouldn't have had much of a better time.
In short, Sun Yi, who has become a professional player, seems to have a stronger desire for team control. You know, he's just a league rookie.
"I think Sun Yue is very suitable for the team's current style of play!"
The statement of the future cornerstone of the team seems to make the team's vice president and head coach take it very seriously.
"Well, we'll take your opinion into account. Tell your friends to wait for the notification, I think the results will be available soon. Chapman ended their discussion with these words, and it looked like he had to talk to D'Antoni again.
……
It's fun to have friends from afar!
A table of delicious and healthy delicacies was cleaned up by the blue sky after a while.
Sun Yi, Sun Yue, Glenn, and Qingkong were chatting and eating around the table. seemed to be moved by the harmonious atmosphere in the room, and the discomfort in Sun Yue's heart slowly disappeared. The Hebei guy who regained his true nature quickly got along with everyone......
Bell bell bell!
The mobile phone in his pocket rang with a rapid ringtone, interrupting Sun Yue's meaty joke. After apologizing to everyone, he quickly got up to answer the phone.
……
Yes! Roar!
Hearing his friend's excited shouts, Sun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He doesn't want his teammates in the national team to face the dilemma of having no ball to play.
A contract with a non-guaranteed base salary until the end of the season is the Knicks' reply.
After telling everyone the good news, Sun Yue quickly dialed her agent's phone and asked him to discuss the details of the contract with the team.
Sun Yi knows very well that his friend's after-tax salary makes it difficult to rent a better house in New York. invited the other party to live here temporarily, after all, a house of more than 300 square meters is like having one more person to live.
Sun Yue, who has become an NBA player again, has a much better mentality at this time. He happily agreed to the invitation of his big friend, and immediately went to choose his room.
……
"Guys, this is my good buddy Sun Yue. In the future, you can just call him 'Brother Sun'!" ”
"Brother Sun is good!" ……
This is the scene when Sun Yi took his national team friends to the Knicks training for the first time, and the buddies of Chinese rookies, like Shannon. Brown, Gerald. Green, Steve. Novak was trying to learn the pronunciation of 'Brother Sun' from those two Chinese......
Sun Yue's cheerful and jumpy personality is very compatible with the team's captain BigQ. With the rookies on the team under the care of two important people in the Knicks, they quickly became familiar with their teammates......
Syllable! Chirping! Syllable! Chirping!
Before every home game for the Knicks, there are always some players in the team's training gym. Now there is a new member among these people.
Glenn, a trainer resting on the sidelines, watched ******** guy engage in a fierce heads-up. He wiped away the sweat from the top of his head with a towel, and then applied an ice pack to his sore, left knee.
Although the serious injury from many years ago has healed, I can still feel the protest of my body after strenuous exercise. During his time as a personal trainer for his friends, he was genuinely amazed at the potential of his former high school teammate.
Every night from 8 to 12 p.m., Glenn, who was known for his infinite physical strength in high school, had to use all his strength to cope with it. You know, his task is only to pass the ball and correct the opponent's mistakes. The really hard work is the friend who keeps jumping and shooting, judging from the relaxed expression on the other party's face after the training, the gap between the two is constantly widening.
It's nothing, Glenn has been out of the ring for a long time after the injury. What he was really worried about was that he was afraid that he would not be able to make his friend stronger.
This problem, which has plagued Glenn recently, has been solved with the addition of Sun Yue.
Coaching two players at the same time can make it a little harder for the trainers. However, after they finish shooting drills, having a real heads-up game will make the effect of the training even more obvious.
Like the two young teenagers did for countless nights at Timothy High School......
Sun Yue, who regained the opportunity to work, cherished this time of playing at the Knicks very much. Especially seeing the pomp and circumstance of his little brother in the national team, personal assistants, trainers, big houses, big cars, sponsorship contracts, etc. While dreams can make people's motivation more durable, material stimuli are more likely to stimulate human potential......
When the Knicks announced the signing of the Lakers' waiver of Chinese player Sun Yue, countless fans across the ocean turned their attention to the New York Giants in the Big Apple.
It's a pity that fast-break master D'Antoni doesn't seem to buy much face from Chinese fans. In the three games against the Wizards, 76ers, and Timberwolves, Sun Yue, who had just joined the team, was put on the injury list by the head coach and did not get a chance to play.
On January 24, in the away game against the Trail Blazers, Sun Yue, a Chinese player wearing the Knicks' No. 6 jersey, finally played for the team for the first time. Although, only a short 3 minutes.
On January 26, the away game against the Kings continued. Compared to the previous game, the Knicks rookie played a lot more minutes to 12 minutes, which is a treatment that only an important rotation player can receive.
It shows that D'Antoni still values the Knicks' national team teammate who is about to be sent away by the team, and the Knicks point guard is only supported by Sun Yi and veteran Darik. With the arrival of Sun Yue, who can be qualified for the No. 123 position, the problem of personnel shortage in the team has been greatly alleviated.
On January 29, the Knicks' home game against the Hawks became a famous game for the team's newcomers. Sun Yue, who was not trusted by the Lakers before, finally showed her all-round ability after changing to a relatively harmonious environment.
In the first quarter of the game, the team's captain BigQ was in the opponent's outside core Joe. Under Johnson's impact, he quickly got two personal fouls. Then, Gerrard, who is not good at defending. Green, even more, can't limit the opponent's play.
In desperation, D'Antoni had to be replaced by Sun Yue, a newcomer to the team. Unexpectedly, this helpless move turned out to work well. Johnson, who had shot 4 out of 5 before, lost his touch in the face of this unfamiliar opponent. 4 shots and 0 hits, this is Sun Yue's defensive effect.
In the second quarter, the Hawks' '05 star show Marvin. Williams' sudden outburst reminded the mustache of Sun Yue on the team's bench. Ordered in danger, he quickly limited the opponent's other fierce general with active defense and tenacious will.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Knicks, who led the opponent by 12 points, replaced a group of starters to build up for the final quarter. Sun Yue and teammate Shannon appeared in the point guard position. Brown, Gerald. Green, Al. Harrington and Milicic played a wave, and the Knicks have been extremely rare bench bandit performances this season.
In just four minutes, the team's lead was extended by more than 20 points. Although Sun Yue's score was not high and only 2 points, he delivered 4 direct assists in the fast break. It is a good continuation of the team's style of playing a whirlwind when the team's Tanhuaxiu is not present. With the addition of the Chinese player who was cut by the Lakers, D'Antoni finally found a qualified replacement for Sun Yi. The previous Jaric and the veteran Darik always made it difficult for him to be satisfied.
The excellent play of the substitutes made the fourth quarter of the game completely reduced to garbage time. The Knicks, who were given plenty of game time, rotated the players and had fun on the court. Sun Yue, who played 20 minutes off the bench, got 8 points, 4 boards, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks very efficiently.
Many fans who came to the scene quickly remembered this tall handsome oriental guy......
120 to 101! The Knicks, playing at home, beat the Hawks to improve their record to 15-29. In the month when the core player Sun Yi returned to strength, the Knicks had a record of 7 wins and 8 losses, and the winning rate was close to half of them.
As the team's record rebounded, the Knicks rookie, who averaged 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game in January, not only won the honor of Rookie of the Month in the East again, but also won the title of Player of the Week for the second time in his career. If it weren't for James' perverted performance, he might even be competing for the award of the best player in the East.
Yao Ming, who led the Rockets to an excellent record of 14-1 this month after his comeback, played the best data of his career, averaging 26 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. It seems that the Rockets' super center, who accepted Snyder's suggestion, has become even more inexplicable on both the offensive and defensive ends after properly losing his own weight. As the big shark gets old, this one once said in front of reporters, 'I'll wait for him to get old!' The Chinese center of this famous saying finally used his outstanding performance to realize his prediction! The reputation of the league's No. 1 center is none other than him!
After winning the Western Conference Player of the Month award in November 2006, Yao Ming won this honor again after two years. Behind him are competitors such as Kobe Bryant and Duncan, who have been famous for a long time.
On Feb. 1, immediately after the 08-09 All-Star voting close, the league announced its final results. The Knicks Scout Show received a record 5 million votes, followed by his national team big brother Yao Ming with 4.4 million.
Sun Yi, a Chinese teenager who became an All-Star starter in the East as a rookie, has become the focus of envy and hatred of countless NBA players.
Under the great honor, this amazing potential star will usher in an even stronger challenge...... (To be continued.) )
