Chapter 206: The Rookie's Gift

Many newcomers who have just entered the league will receive gifts from the team's old birds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On October 1, this year's Golden State Warriors' No. 7 rookie Stephen Brown. Curry, when he participated in the team's first training camp of the season, received the "captain" Stephen Stephen Brown. Jackson's 'surprise' for him.

A kindergartner's favorite HelloKitty school bag, and it's also pink. This surprise and joy still made Curry, who had been fully prepared in advance, look even more shy.

"Rookie, pour a drink." Cory sitting on the sidelines. Margeti pointed to the drink machine at the other end of the pitch and told the team's newcomers.

"Okay." Curry's answer was well-behaved, trotting out a cool sports drink to the team's big brother.

"Wow! Boy, it's pretty neat, I think you should do it again. "Andris. Speaking English with a strong Eastern European accent, Biedrins addressed the rookie of the team who had just finished serving Margeti.

This time Curry was smart and he saw Monta sitting on the sidelines. Ellis and Ronnie. Turiaf simply brought three glasses at once.

"Well done, little one!" Biedrins was very satisfied with the results of his training and took the drink from the other party.

The Warriors' No. 7 rookie, who thought the test had passed smoothly, was the team's main scoring guard Monta. Ellis hit a nail here. Ellis didn't pay any attention to the water glasses offered by the other hand, and Curry's face was full of embarrassment.

……

Before the team's training officially begins, many players who have warmed up will practice shooting.

"I heard you're good at shooting threes?"

Ellis, who has never dealt with the team's rookie in the face, walked towards Curry from not far away with the ball in his arms.

"I ......"

Before the opponent could answer, the Warriors shooting guard threw the basketball in his hand into the distant stands.

"Go pick up the balls."

……

Before the team's training had even begun, the young Warriors rookie was already sweating profusely and panting. Because, in just ten minutes, he has picked up the ball several times. Of course, this is not just Ellis's masterpiece alone, as several players like the one just mentioned have been involved.

……

The content and intensity of the first pre-season training session for all NBA teams are not the focus. The team's rookies and new signings will take this opportunity to get acquainted with their teammates.

The newcomer Curry was clearly given a cold shoulder by the veterans, with only three sophomores volunteering to say hello to the team's No. 7 rookie.

Among them, the Warriors are ready to reuse Anthony Murphy this season. Randolph met the Davidson Wildcats when he was playing at Louisiana State University.

Anthony. Moreau and Anthony. Although Tolivier has never faced Curry directly, he has long heard of the opponent's amazing long-range shooting skills.

The Warriors' first training session of the season, the whole atmosphere is still relatively harmonious. All kinds of laughter and laughter often sounded in the training hall.

……

"Hey! Rookie, is you in such a hurry to go home, do you want to drink milk? ”

Curry, who had just finished his training assignment and was about to return to the locker room, was surprised by Stephen Brown, the team's most eccentric temper. Jackson shouted.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

As for the unspoken rule of the league for veteran players to bully newcomers, young Warriors rookies have heard a lot of legends before. The three-year college experience allowed the baby-faced Curry to look at these tricks very rationally.

"Stephen, things are ready, you can call that kid over."

……

Having rookies perform after practice is a tradition that the Warriors have passed down for generations.

“adiller,adollar,ateno\'clockscholar!whatmakesyouesosoon?youusedtoeatteno\'clock”

This famous American nursery rhyme adilleradollar was written by the handsome Stephen Dollar. Curry performed it in a singing and dancing way.

A bunch of unscrupulous Warriors veterans laughed from the sidelines.

In fact, many newcomers who have just entered the NBA will encounter this embarrassing scene. Moreover, a significant number of rookies are suffering more than Curry.

……

The New York Knicks' first training session of the season was much more lackluster than the Warriors.

The team, which is dominated by young players, has welcomed several strong new signings this year. Because everyone had played each other on the field, the team's first day of training went straight to the point.

Coach Voi, as an assistant to coach D'Antoni, has already revealed the defensive system he has painstakingly built this summer to the opponent and the plate. What Mustache didn't expect was that the young college coach's defensive strategy was a perfect fit for his fast-break play.

The first day of training was basically led by Coach Voi, because he needed to make all the players understand how the team's defensive system this season is different from before, and what is the tactical thinking?

From the position of the players on the court to the details of the matchup, the Knicks' new defensive coach has constantly instilled in the players the concept of high-pressure overall defense.

This kind of extremely oppressive defensive style requires all the players on the field to work together and cooperate tacitly to meet the requirements. Again, it's not realistic to expect a team to master this defensive system in a short period of time.

The day's training passed quickly, and when Afflaro was ready to leave the arena. Suddenly, I heard the laughter of many teammates.

"Shannon, are you serious?"

Wilson. Chandler struggled to hold back the smile on his face and put his arm around Shannon. Brown said on his shoulder.

"Of course, why don't you believe me!"

Hahaha......!

Shannon. Brown's answer with a straight face once again caused his teammates to laugh.

"Andrey, what's going on?"

Attracted by the laughter, Afflalo asked Miller, the old point guard who was watching the excitement from the sidelines.

"Whoa!"

Following the other party's eyes, Afflaro saw Sun Yi, a Chinese player surrounded by his teammates.

"When that kid said he could go head-to-head with Sun, he scored at least three times."

Usually in a one-on-one bullfight, you need to score eleven points to win. A two-point shot counts as one point, and a three-point shot counts as two points. Like heads-up between NBA-caliber players, even if there is a huge difference in strength, it doesn't seem to be a particularly difficult thing to score three goals.

Once Afflaro figured out the ins and outs, he stood on the sidelines next to Miller and watched the two teammates go head-to-head.

……

Woo woo woo ......!

When Sun Yi leaned back to get his first tenth, there was a commotion on the sidelines. Of course, this is aimed at Shannon, who previously boasted about Haikou and is now depressed. Brown.

The Knicks shooting guard, who only scored one point, has few opportunities to make good on the promise he just made. After making a forward feint, he stepped back to shoot three points.

This trick, but Shannon. Brown worked new skills that he had developed all summer.

Sun Yi, who had been airtight in defense before, didn't seem to expect the opponent to shoot in this way.

Swish! With the ball shabu-shabu into the net, Shannon scored the third point. Brown excitedly took off his training vest and swung it in the air twice before throwing it into the distance.

……

"What an interesting guy."

Miller's 'funny guy' is clearly not referring to Shannon, who is really celebrating wildly. Brown. Aflalo, who did not let go of any details in the whole heads-up process, understood that the other party was talking about a Chinese guy who scored 10 points but lost the game.

The step-back three-point shot that Brown shot just now, although the whole action was smooth, but judging from Sun Yi's previous performance in defense, it was not particularly difficult to prevent this shot. He didn't seem to care at all about losing this unfair heads-up in front of so many teammates.

……

"Sun, do you have time to play?"

After Afraro said this, he quickly regretted it. A group of Knicks players who embraced Sun Yi had an expression of pity on their faces except anger.

A newcomer who has just come to report on the team dares to challenge the authority of the core players in the team. Moreover, this guy witnessed the disparity in strength just now. I don't know if he's stupid or ignorant.

"I, I don't mean anything else. I just wanted to try ......."

Sensing that danger was imminent, Aflaro quickly explained that he had no ill intentions.

After Sun Yi heard the other party's words, he pulled a group of teammates who were ready to stand up for him, and slowly walked to the new teammates who looked a little helpless.

"When I was at Duke, I heard that CULA had a super scorer. There is nothing going on today, so let's take this opportunity to have a discussion. ”

Andrey, who has been watching from the sidelines. Miller, the expression on his face is even more interesting. This veteran of the league, who has changed four teams in his previous career, is the first time he has seen such a group of fun guys on the team.

……

The heads-up between the two soon began under the watchful eyes of their teammates.

Afflalo, who attacked with the ball first, shook twice and accelerated directly, but unfortunately his layup was interfered with by the opponent and popped out of the frame.

It was Sun Yi's turn to attack, and the Knicks core player almost copied the opponent's last offensive routine. The only difference is that the Chinese guy's layup hit the bull's-eye.

In just one round, Miller saw the huge gap in offensive skills between the two players. This gap is completely talented, and it is almost impossible to catch up by immersing yourself in hard work.

After Sun Yili scored four points in a row, Afflalo clearly adapted to the opponent's offensive rhythm. The kraft candy-like close defense made the Chinese guy very uncomfortable.

Bang!

The fluttering action turned around and back-to-back jumper, and after losing the support of his hand, he could only bounce high helplessly.

Swish!

Avlalo, who has failed to break through many times, is now smart. He knew that trying to get out of the opponent's defense with his own strength was an almost impossible task. Therefore, just now, if the Knicks are a newcomer, they directly choose to fire on the outside.

After this three-point shot, Afflaro has already scored his fourth point. It was the last time he hit the basket, though.

Sun Yi, who had already scored 8 points, ended this fierce heads-up with two long-range three-pointers in a row.

Although Afflaro lost the game without any suspense, many Knicks teammates who watched the game from the sidelines did not say anything but expressed their appreciation in their hearts for this guy who could prevent Sun Yi from being anxious. In the past, in the team, the captain Richardson was able to fight this perverted guy.

Bang bang bang ......!

"Wonderful duel that makes my old fellow itch too."

Andrey with a smile on his face. Miller, clapped and slapped.

"Holy! You're going to have a wheel war. If you want to fight him, you can defeat me first. ”

Without waiting for Sun Yi to stretch out his hand to stop it, Sun Yue, a roommate of the national team with a face full of righteous indignation, strode up.

"Okay, as you wish."

……

11 to 4!

The veterans of the alliance walked like a leisurely stroll, defeating their young and vigorous opponents.

"Brother, I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Sun Yue, who was dejected, walked up to her friend and whispered apologetically.

Sun Yi comforted and patted this good brother who put righteousness first.

"Wait for me to avenge you, haha!"

It's been a long time since such a lively scene today has appeared in the Knicks' training gym.

Head coach D'Antoni and assistant Voi witnessed the amusing scene in front of their second-floor office window.

"Steve, if I hadn't seen today's heads-up, I really wouldn't have imagined that the player Werning exchanged for Gerrard would be the best defensive player on our team except for Sun Yi."

"yes, I've been away from the scout post for so long, and my eyesight is still so accurate."

Voi was genuinely amazed by the Knicks' general manager's series of trades and signings this summer.

"How many points do you think Andrei can get on that little guy's head?" The Knicks coach habitually touched the two mustaches on his mouth and asked thoughtfully.

"Maybe 3 points, maybe 5 points. Anyway, I don't think he's much better than Aaron. ”

"Haha! Let's make a bet, it's dinner today. That old guy isn't as bad as you think. ”

……

Syllable! Boom! ……

The old Miller, who pouted and dribbled with his back to the ball, although his athleticism was not as good as before, his strong muscles were well maintained. With the advantage of strength, he kept approaching the basket.

Entering the basket about 12 yards away, the league veteran found it difficult to take another half step. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and shoot.

The Chinese guy, who was highly focused, immediately stepped up to defend himself after discovering the opponent's intentions. At the moment when his opponent was about to jump, he could hardly resist the fact that he was about to burst out of his hat.

Chirping!

The screeching sound of the sneakers on the floor because of the rotation made Sun Yi quickly calm down. ! Again! This guy has taken out the trick he used to play himself last year. The same routine was so realistic that the Chinese guy was fooled again.

Finding that he didn't deceive the other party, Miller Sr. had no choice but to step forward with his shoulders heavy, ready to pick up the basket with his low hand.

This time, Sun Yi saw the opportunity to jump high early and wait in the air for the opponent to send a shot.

Chirping!

Another shrill grinding sound!

Andrey, who is an old man. Miller, in such a difficult situation, once again made realistic footsteps. After fooling his opponent, he calmly hit the spot shot.

……

Although the heads-up between the two ended in Sun Yi winning, Miller used his dreamy footsteps comparable to the big dream Olajuwon to score 8 points on the head of the Knicks' core players who dominated all aspects.

What a respectable old fellow! It seems that the veterans who joined the team this year will bring valuable experience to the young Knicks, and will also make the growth of Chinese young players more comprehensive. (To be continued.) )
