On July 13, 2009, Sun Yi and his entourage, who had completed special training and returned to China to prepare for the Tianjin Asian Championships, arrived at the Capital International Airport after a long-distance flight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You're right with Tyson. What does Chandler's new teammate think? ”

"It is said that Richardson and Gerald. Green are all good buddies of yours, and the team traded them out this time, did you know beforehand? ”

"Andrey. Does Miller's arrival mean you'll be playing more at shooting guard next season? ”

"This year, the Knicks signed a lot of experienced veterans, is it because the team was too young last season, which affected the final results?"

……

"Tyson is a great big guy and I'm looking forward to working with him."

"Kun Ting and Steven Gerrard are indeed my buddies, but you should know that the NBA is a business field, and these things are not something that I can control as a player."

"I learned a lot from Andre last season against the 76ers. Now he's playing for the Knicks, which is a lucky thing for me. As for where I will play in the new season, this is Mike's decision. ”

'It's definitely a good thing that the squad suddenly has a lot of veterans. At the very least, they can help the team make fewer mistakes in some crucial games. ”

……

In the face of a large number of reporters chasing and intercepting at the airport, the young Chinese basketball genius has been able to deal with it very easily after more than a year of training by the American media.

In fact, Sun Yi only found out about the team's operation in the past two days. Richardson and Gerald. Green's farewell text message made the Chinese guy a little sad and at the same time, he also had a clearer understanding of the nature of this alliance.

Perhaps, one day, he will also be thrown off by the team like garbage.

……

This time, in addition to his teammates Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, who returned to China with Sun Yi, there was also Zhu Di, the financial adviser of the Chinese teenager. Wilkins, as well as her two assistants. Because, they need to reconcile with Tenglong Company for Sun Yi.

Yu Lingfeng and Fairy Tale classmates, who have not seen each other for a long time, were recruited by former alumni after receiving a master's degree in economics and management from Duke University. Currently, they are following Judy as interns. Wilkins Learning.

Since Sun Yi's freshman year in the bar incident, the serious big brother Qingkong began to hook up with his fairy tale classmates, and after more than two years of getting along, the relationship between the two has become more and more stable. This time, Zhang Qingkong deliberately followed his boss back to China, probably wanting to take his girlfriend to meet the parents of both parties.

After dealing with the reporters waiting at the airport, the seven people boarded the reception vehicle specially sent by Wang Weimin, chairman of Tenglong Company.

"Xiansen, do you want to go to Larry?"

A driver in uniform asked Sun Yi, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue, who had just gotten into the business car, in half-baked Mandarin.

I rub! Are you a driver and don't know where to go? Still ask me?

Just as everyone was looking at each other, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Sun Yi's eyes.

"Damn! Young Master Wang, are you playing with uniform temptation? ”

"Haha! Don't mind, it's just a little joke. Sitting in the driver's seat was Sun Yi's good buddy Wang Bin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After introducing Wang Dashao to his teammates in the national team, the four quickly became acquainted on the way to the city.

In the evening, after Wang Weimin, the boss of Tenglong Company, personally picked up the wind for everyone, the next day Sun Yi and the three went directly to the national team to report. Wilkins, with her two assistants and their families, followed Boss Wang south to Fuhai Province.

……

On July 14, after three NBA players returned from across the ocean joined the team, the list of Chinese men's basketball players preparing for the Asian Championships was finally determined.

Point guards: Sun Yi, Liu Wei, Zhang Qingpeng.

Quarterbacks: Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue.

Small forwards: Zhu Fangyu, Wang Lei.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Du Feng, Li Xiaoxu.

Center: Wang Zhizhi, Su Wei.

There are only 20 days left before the Jincheng Asian Championships on August 6 to officially start, and Sun Yi and the three of them reported that they didn't care about the jet lag and immediately devoted themselves to intense team training.

However, on the first day of team practice, the three NBA players who had just finished special training did not sweat much. This kind of training intensity is inevitably very relaxing, and it feels like you are on vacation.

Although there was no training task in the evening, according to the state of preparation for the Olympic Games last year, there must be many teammates in the training hall who are practicing more. Sun Yi, who was about to go to the stadium with his roommates to practice shooting, met his national teammate Zhu Fangyu as soon as he went out.

"Xiao Yi, Sun Yue, what are you two going to do when you two are dressed so neatly?"

"Go to the stadium to sweat, and by the way, fall jet lag."

"Come on, hurry up and change your clothes, and everyone will pick you up today."

Corporation? What kind of wind is this!

When Sun Yi and the others were hesitating, there was another group of people in the corridor.

Yi Jianlian was surrounded by a group of teammates, and his face showed a helpless expression.

……

The Chinese men's basketball team took three teammates who had just returned to the team and drove to a high-end hotel near the base.

After everyone sat down in the private room, various dishes were served to the table by the waiter.

A variety of dishes filled the entire table, and Sun Yi swept it over at a glance, almost all of which were the most taboo foods and cooking methods for athletes.

Our domestic professional players eat these things when they are preparing for the continental competition?

This is nothing, after Zhu Fangyu, who was going to be the east today, called the hotel manager over, he directly asked for 5 bottles of Feitian Moutai, plus six cases of beer.

"Xiao Yi, what are you drinking?"

"Plain water is fine."

After hearing this, the main small forward of the national team did not force these three teammates who played in the NBA.

The cups in front of Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, and Su Wei were filled with liquor, while Zhang Qingpeng, Li Xiaoxu, and Wang Shipeng focused on beer.

"Today, the members of our national team are all alive, and I'm going to make my own decisions and take it upon myself to pick up the wind for my teammates who came back from the United States on behalf of my brothers. Come on, do it! Zhu Fangyu's opening remarks are very big brother-like.

"It's done!"

"Rejoice! Drink! ”

……

In the face of the hospitality of his teammates in the national team, Sun Yi and the three of them sat like pins and needles, and at the same time, they also opened their eyes.

Du Feng is from Xinjiang, Su Wei is from Shandong, these two can drink liquor, it is not surprising, I didn't expect Zhu Fangyu, who is from Guangxi, to fall behind at all. The liquor bottle in front of each of them quickly bottomed out, which is a catty! It seemed that he didn't drink well, so he called the waiter to open the remaining two bottles.

Zhang Qingpeng, Wang Shipeng, and Li Xiaoxu, three fellow villagers of Sun Yi Liao Province, are also screaming at the speed of drinking beer. A bottle of beer is poured into a large tea jar, and it is only two mouthfuls.

Looking at the mess at the dining table and smelling the second-hand smoke in the private room. The three NBA players who had just reported to the national team had nothing but a wry smile on their faces.

This is to give us the wind, this is obviously their opportunity to carnival!

After everyone was full of wine and food, they were a little dizzy. Sun Yi, Sun Yue, and Yi Jian, who had not been drunk, even had to help their teammates who couldn't understand these roads back.

This amount of exercise is larger than the amount of national team training today!

After Sun Yi and Sun Yue, who were covered in stinky sweat, returned to the dormitory, the two did not have any language communication, so they took a shower and pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

Such a national team is really wonderful!

……

The next day, the Chinese men's basketball boys, who had not yet eased up from drinking, appeared in the training hall very punctually with the smell of alcohol.

The young head coach Guo Shiqiang pretended not to see or smell it, and organized the team to start training normally.

After a simple warm-up, start the distribution confrontation.

After a night of drinking, you can imagine what kind of performance the players who are still mentally unclear can perform.

Dribbling to the top of the foot, shooting three without sticking, passing the ball off the court, catching the ball and leaking through both hands, all kinds of low-level mistakes, made the national team's training session a joke.

If that old Lithuanian man were still standing here, he would definitely stop training and let these guys introspect. It's a pity that Guo Shiqiang, who has limited qualifications, has no indication at all. insisted on letting this group of hanging players mix up until training time, and then directly announced their disbandment.

……

Chapman, the general manager of the Knicks, managed to remove the word "deputy" from his title, but his office was not replaced.

At the moment, he is sitting opposite the team's head coach, D'Antoni.

"Mike, I think the team needs a defensive coach as well!" The general manager, who made the Knicks stronger through a series of signings and trades this summer, seems to be unhappy with the team's defensive position at the bottom of the league last season. Now that the quality defenders have been won, it's just a defensive guru who can tune the lads.

"To be honest, I'm really not good at that. But the better defensive coaches in the league are all famous. The mustache's response was candid and realistic.

Former Rockets assistant coach and current Celtics defensive coach Tom Brown. Thibodeau is Chapman's favorite candidate. Unfortunately, the other party rejected the Knicks' kind invitation. This is normal, and this year's Clover are the favourites to win the title.

The Cavaliers' first assistant coach, Mike Murphy. Malone and Mavericks' Stotts both said that if they change owners, they are only interested in the position of head coach.

Chapman, who dug the assistant coach and ran into a nail, had to bring head coach D'Antoni to discuss it today. As things stand, the defensive coaches in the league who have a little bit of a brush are all looking at their respective teams to death. With the current strength of the Knicks team, it is really difficult to poach.

After a moment of silent silence, Chapman spoke again.

"If there is really no suitable candidate, we might as well look for it from the university?"

Hey! D'Antoni slapped his thigh, why didn't I think of it.

Don't look at the NCAA as a collegiate league, but the coaches in it are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers. A lot of well-known coaches in the NBA, their careers started there.

If you want to say that the best defensive coach in the NCAA, it is Collinson of Duke University. This old partner of the old coach is not only good at adjusting the players' defense, but also good at organizing the team's defensive system.

Chapman and Mustache discussed it for a while, and decided to ask Collinson out of the mountain. But who's going to be the lobbyist? The team currently has two Duke-educated players, one is Sun Yi and the other is Shelton. Williams. Although these two have different career circumstances, they are both leaders trained by Collinson himself.

After thinking about it, Chapman decided to let the core of the team make the call.

……

Sun Yi has been training with his teammates in the national team for a week at the Chinese men's basketball training base, except for the first day when he arrived at the team to report a trip with his teammates, the rest of the days except training is rest.

And the teammates who shocked the Knicks at the wine table and couldn't speak, should not have secretly gone out to eat and drink in the past few days. Every day after the team's training, these guys don't practice, they all get together to play fried gold.

Compared to the intensity of the national team's vacation-like training, the three national players who returned from the United States had to practice extra at night to maintain their competitive condition.

When the three of them returned to the dormitory after practicing today, it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.

Bell bell bell!

Seeing the call from the team's general manager, Sun Yi was a little surprised. Who is leaving? The contact between the two this summer has made the Chinese guy develop habitual thinking.

"Hello, boss!" Although the other party is not the real owner of the team, Sun Yi is still used to calling it that.

“……”

"Are you serious, sir?"

“……”

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

“……”

……

After hanging up Chapman's call, Sun Yi hugged his phone and flipped out college coach Chris. Collinson's phone number.

"Hey! Little one, you haven't been in touch with me, an old man, for a while. Coach Collinson's hearty voice instantly reminded the young Knicks point guard of his glory days in college.

"Hey! You okay? ”

The old man's call interrupted the brief reminiscence of the Chinese guy.

"Coach, that's ......"

After Sun Yi conveyed the intention of the team's general manager to Coach Collinson. On the other side of the phone, there was a sudden silence.

"Sun, I see what you mean. Let the general manager of your team call me directly, don't get involved in these things. ”

"Okay. I understand. ”

……

Two days later, a white man in his early forties showed up in the office of the general manager of the Knicks in New York.

Chapman, who was sitting behind his desk, took the other party's resume and flipped through it carefully for a while. He raised his head, looked at the energetic middle-aged man in front of him and said, "You are Steve. Wojciechovsky? ”

"Yes, I am!"

This person is Coach Woy, the successor of the legendary coach of Duke University, Coach K, and players like Sun Yi who have played for the Duke Blue Devils are basically students he has personally led.

While he has been in charge of the team's tactics at Duke University, let's not forget that Coach Voj was the NCAA's famous steal leader as a player, and he first started coaching with defensive guru Coach Collinson.

It seems that in the new season, Sun Yi will see a lot of familiar faces in the team. (To be continued.) )
