306: First reunion of the new season, something is in trouble (5.1K asking for votes!) )
The 2007 European Men's Basketball Championship made Spanish fans sad.
As the biggest favourites to win the title, the Spanish matadors who played at home lost by one point to the fighting nation Russia and lost the European championship.
Well, a difference of one point.
This is probably one of the most uncomfortable ways to lose a championship.
The result of this match was very unexpected, as Russia are not the favourites to win the tournament.
As we all know, AK47 Kirilenko is past his prime, and the Russian squad is far from being as star-studded as Spain.
At the end of the first quarter, Spain led 22-11 and seemed to be able to easily win the championship.
Then, the fighting nation was transformed.
As we all know, the more you oppress him, the stronger he becomes, and the more he nears death, the easier it is to explode his combat effectiveness.
In the next three quarters, the Russian team played an extremely tough defense.
In this way, Spain was plunged into a bitter war.
In the last two seconds, the Russian defender, who is only 1.84 meters tall. Holden hit a jumper to knock the king of Europe off his horse.
In the end, with this fatal goal, the Russian team won the game.
Spain lost the title, and although they still qualified for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, it was a shame to lose the title on their home turf.
Kirilenko's smile in gold medal and sister-in-law on the side wearing silver medal are in stark contrast.
Wayne, who was temporarily idle at home, watched the whole live broadcast, and he felt sorry for his sister-in-law.
The European Championship at home, who is happy to lose by 1 point in the final.
So......
Next year's Beijing Olympics ...... There is no room for error!
It's on home again, and it's a much higher level than the European Championships!
Although Wayne has already experienced the '08 Olympics, it feels completely different as a spectator and as a participant.
Until now, Wayne still remembers the expectation and enthusiasm of the whole country when he watched the Chinese men's basketball team fight on the court.
Now that he will be a member of the national number one player, Wayne suddenly felt a strong sense of responsibility welling up in his heart.
Well, next summer...... It's time for China to make the world look good!
At this point, Tony sent a text message telling Wayne that he was "resurrected" again.
Well, as soon as the training camp ended some time ago, Tony started a game with the Celtics turning off their mobile phones with all the players, and they could only have each other's tours in their eyes.
Really, this kind of thing can only be imagined by Rivers, a big man in the chicken soup world.
Although in 2007, mobile phones have not yet occupied all of people's lives, but they are also very important daily necessities.
Without a mobile phone, it is really equivalent to evaporating from the world.
As soon as Tony returned, he sent Wayne a text message and chatted about how boring the trip was......
"Ray. Aaron is out of place with everyone, how to say it? He doesn't look like a black man! Guess what he was talking to Garnett? Talk about Picasso! Laughing to death! ”
Looking at Tony's information, Wayne had a sense of picture in his head.
Thunder. After all, Arlena grew up in a petty bourgeois family, and because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder, many of his habits are old-fashioned.
Like a spotless shirt, like a firm and straight stance.
He didn't like the slightest change in his plans and surprises, and when he played in Seattle, he would be very angry if someone occupied a parking space that he was familiar with, even if there was an empty space next to it.
Can you imagine a well-dressed KG and a ray in a suit and leather shoes. What does Aaron look like they're chatting happily with?
Sure enough, Tony also complained a lot about Ray after that, all about Ray. Aaron's.
For example, he was adamant that everyone was not allowed to drink alcohol, not even Coke.
Even if the season hasn't really started yet.
Well, a group of big men, turn off their phones and travel together, and they can't drink.
So what do you do together at night?
Talk about Picasso? Do you play flying chess?
"Oh my God!" Wayne thought it was terrible, no wonder Thunder. Aaron and the others have not been able to get along.
Well, no matter where you go, at least in the past few years, the Green Army is still quite fierce.
yes, Tony is back too. This means that the new season is about to start!
At the end of September, the pre-season training camps for each team began one after another.
When Wayne arrived at the training gym after a long absence, he found that the championship pennant was also hung in the training gym.
Well, that's good, this team is finally a bit of a champion!
The Great Sage stood behind Wayne with a bag on his back, like a child who had been sent to school for the first time......
In the training hall, some people have come one after another.
Old acquaintances such as Yuduka, Posey, and Outlaw all greeted Wayne, as well as Sun Yue.
And Uncle Mu and P.J. Brown, two old and newcomers, also came up and hugged Wayne.
Although he is both veterans, he still knows how to do it after so many years in the NBA.
They know that in the NBA, it doesn't matter if you're old or not, the star is the real boss.
"We, it's a pleasure to play on your team. In the past, I always heard Yao talk about you. "Uncle Mu has a good impression of Chinese players.
Because he has a very good personal relationship with Chairman Yao, it makes him always feel affectionate when he sees Chinese players.
To listen to Uncle Mu, you have to listen very carefully, otherwise it is very likely that you won't understand a word!
His cigarette gun, which feels like he's been choking on for decades, is no one else.
'I'm also glad that the team has an experienced veteran like you, we need your experience and defense. Hey, don't worry, I'm not going to elbow you in the training ground like Yao did. ”
After hugging Mutombo, Wayne chatted with P.J. Brown for a few more words.
Probably next season we're going to work together for the championship or something.
Sun Yue stood behind Wayne and secretly admired.
It is not easy for Chinese players to mix so openly in the NBA.
My Vega deserves to be a courtesan!
There's nothing he can't eat!
Wayne: It's all a small scene, follow me and learn hard, you haven't seen Viagra's ultimate communication skills.
Subsequently, more and more people walked in.
Because it was the first day, everyone was more lazy and relaxed.
For example, Anthony. Parker, wearing a pair of Nike slippers, walked in.
After Pao'er walked into the training ground, Sun Yue finally didn't have to stand stupidly.
After all, everyone has been in the training camp together for more than a month, so they are relatively familiar with each other, and there is no sense of estrangement.
The sister-in-law, who had long hair, walked in in with short sleeves and looked not in a good mood.
I can't help it, after all, I just lost the European championship on my doorstep.
Wayne took a closer look, well, my sister-in-law's hair seems to be a little less than when she first joined last year......
This......
It seems that in the future, it will be enough to touch the head and kill moderately.
When Blake came in, he greeted Wayne very warmly.
He also shared his knack for keeping his body in shape with boxing.
Wayne chatted with him with great relish, since leaving the Pacers, it had been a long time since he had met such a like-minded partner!
Wayne really didn't expect that the seemingly honest Blake was actually a martial arts master.
Sure enough, no one should be disgraced. In the future, I'll have to ask him about boxing skills.
If you don't have more skills, what's wrong with basketball players learning more fighting skills? What's wrong!?
Basketball players must learn to protect themselves outside!
Wayne was often bullied because of his poor fighting skills.
Rashid, Big Ben, Small, Bowen, Bogut, Hard Te, Boozer, Raga. Bell: Whew!
Zhuge Vic, Larry. Brown: I'll do it again!
While Wayne and Blake were having a good chat, Darko . Milicic walked in.
He glanced at Wayne and didn't greet him warmly, just nodded politely at Wayne.
Well, after these two stops in Detroit and Orlando, Milicic is probably no longer hopeful about the NBA environment.
When he was in the Pistons, he was killed by Larry. Brown hid in the snow, and no one wanted to stand up and say a word for him.
Until Larry. After Brown left, Billups told the media after the fact: "This kid has extraordinary talent, so to speak, he can do anything on the court, but ...... Larry was so him, he hurt the kid's self-confidence too badly"
Well, what's the use of talking about it at this time?
Milicic is past his prime to adapt to the NBA.
When I went to the Magic, I thought it would improve, but Milicic spent the whole day shouting "Pass the ball to Dwight".
Therefore, Milicic has not and does not intend to continue to integrate into the NBA environment.
He just used the Trail Blazers as a springboard to sign big contracts, not to make friends here.
Take advantage of the high exposure of the Trail Blazers, try to seize every opportunity, play the ball well, and then sign a big long-term contract with any team.
That's Milicic's plan.
Well, not all of them are as open-minded as Okafor.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, head coach McMillan gathered everyone on time.
The Portland Trail Blazers in the 07-08 season assemble for the first time!
On the first day of today's gathering, in fact, there will be no training scheduled.
Everyone will disband if they put on their jerseys and practice casually.
Of course, NBA officials and media will come to take makeup photos for the new season.
This season, the three most popular cities for journalists are Boston, Los Angeles and Portland, the city of tears.
The makeup photos of the Celtic triumvirate are like cell phone signals, from short to tall.
On the Lakers' side, because Kobe Bryant habitually likes to stand in the middle.
Therefore, Yi Tai and Yao Ming can only be left and right.
As a result, the Lakers' makeup photos are like Nike's logo, a √.
The Trail Blazers' makeup photos will not be complained, and they will look like a family photo.
Sister-in-law and Wayne, with the child Pao'er.
It's so graphic.
Pao'er stood between Wayne and his sister-in-law, and he didn't look like a child.
After the first day of excitement, the training was slowly on track in the following days.
Most people need to get back on shape, but sister-in-law, Sun Yue, Wayne, and Tucker don't need to.
They've been training all summer.
So, while everyone else is still recovering, they're training with the ball.
A week later, the Trail Blazers finally started a 5-on-5 simulation!
On the first day of training, Sun Yue's state was gratifying.
He hit four straight shots at the top of the three-point arc, and on the defensive end he also put the Trail Blazers' second quarterback last season, Juan Brown. Dixon was miserable.
Patterson, who watched the training, didn't expect that this Chinese defender really had something!
Throw it to the development alliance to fight, practice leveling, maybe you can really call it back and use it yourself.
There's no way, the size of the Great Sage is too different from Dixon.
Dixon is the No. 2 position on the surface, but he is actually the No. 1 position.
A guy who was only a centimeter shorter than Wayne was going to defend him, and that would definitely be a lot of pressure on him.
Well, it's all Sun Yue's fault for participating in the joint trial, and the NBA official has his detailed physical test data.
In the future, people will find out that this Wayne is only one centimeter higher than Sun Yue, and this centimeter is not one centimeter of the earth's unit!
But Wayne doesn't have to worry, he's not the tallest guy in the league anymore.
There's not an American Wayne in Seattle?
Didn't that claim to be only 2.06 meters?
Unknowingly, Wayne has opened the door to a new era for the younger generations......
Speaking of the Great Sage, he has an absolute advantage in size, and he has experienced the baptism of opponents like Kobe Bryant and Roy in the summer, and then comes back to Dixon, who has not fully entered the game in defense, is it still handy?
Of course, there is still a lot to be improved in the Great Sage.
But just as Patterson thought, throwing him to the development league to play some real games should be able to mention the NBA for occasional use.
took the Great Sage to play in the NBA a year in advance, and this decision was indeed correct.
In addition to Sun Yue, the best rookie on the Trail Blazers, non-Daktronics. Milicic is none other than that.
He worked very the training pitch as if he was playing as if he were a real game.
Wayne was advocating for that, and at the Pacers, everybody was doing that.
Although in training, some of Darko's excessive movements always make my sister-in-law miserable.
But Wayne, as the leader of the team, didn't say much.
As long as he doesn't mean to hurt people, he treats it as normal competition.
And my sister-in-law is a good person herself, although she is unhappy, she doesn't complain much.
Wayne, of course, knew that Darko was desperate to prove himself, after all, he had really been hit too much over the years.
As a talented teenager, he didn't play seriously in the first few years of his entry into the NBA.
In this year's European Championships, Milicic released wild words before the game that he would play this and that, thinking that he and his team could shine and vent all the grievances of the NBA on FIBA.
As a result, all three games in the group stage were lost, and they did not qualify at all......
This is called the legendary ideal is very plump, but the reality is very fucking skinny.
Now, the aggrieved Dakko wants to show his worth through training.
Finally, in a training session in the second week, Darko went overboard.
In a confrontation, the sister-in-law leaned on Darko's back to ask for the ball, and Blake saw this and passed the ball in.
Just when the sister-in-law was about to turn over and jump shot, Darko made a ruthless move.
With a "snap", it was cut directly on the sister-in-law's forearm.
My sister-in-law shook her hand in pain at that time, and her forearms were red.
The trainer also blew for a Dakko foul.
"There's something wrong with you, right? It was a brilliant defense! You're blowing the women's basketball team, it! Darko yelled at the trainer, and the trainer was stunned.
Because this had never happened before, not even Wayne had ever been dirty with the trainer.
"Hey, be careful, we're all in this together, you know? You did commit a foul just now. ”
The words starting with F are all coming out, and Wayne has to take care of it.
So he immediately went up and reasoned with Dako.
"Are you fucking ridiculous to protect him just because he's more famous than me? Damn, Lao Tzu didn't perform as well as him in training! ”
Sue didn't know it, and Darko yelled at Wayne.
Well, though Darko has always been a subject to Larry. The image of Brown's bullying.
But if you think he's a wronged good kid, you're wrong.
Far from being well-behaved, Dakko is also a troublemaker.
After being eliminated from this year's European Championships, Darko's words earned him a $13,000 fine and a one-year ban from FIBA.
Well, arguably one of the biggest fines in FIBA history.
When Wayne slapped people in the audience at the Asian Championships, the fines were not so heavy.
You can know how bad Darko said.
At the time, after being eliminated in the last game against Greece, Darko thought it was the referee who favored the Greek team.
So in a subsequent interview with the media, Milicic insulted the referee's stupid decision on the field, and said that he would find the referee and force his wife and daughter.
That's right, this is from a professional athlete.
This is Daktronics. Milicic.
Patterson was dumbfounded, what the hell did I sign? Fortunately, this incident did not affect the Trail Blazers, and Patterson turned a blind eye.
Therefore, now Darko scolds the trainer on the spot, which is already considered a light scolding.
He's such a guy who can't keep his mouth shut after being angry.
Wayne wasn't unaware of scolding referees during the Darko European Championships, but he felt that this guy shouldn't be so rampant in the NBA.
I didn't expect it to be a crazy habit.
"Apologize to the trainer and Gasol, right now." Seeing Darko yelling at himself, Wayne immediately lowered his face.
You train hard, you can.
The confrontation is fierce, and it can be.
But insulting trainers and teammates?
I'm sorry, I'm not used to this kind of behavior.
"Wei, forget it." The sister-in-law saw that a conflict was about to break out between her teammates, and hurriedly came up to act as a peacemaker.
However, Wayne stopped his sister-in-law, who was about to come up to separate the two, and then took a step forward and walked in front of Dako: "Do you understand?" Do you want me to repeat it a second time? ”
Darko smiled disdainfully: "Do you think everyone is afraid of you?" Even your two fists and embroidered legs can only scare and scare laymen. Don't yell at me, idiot! I'm not here to be under your command! ”
"Hey, athletic boys! Listen to me, you're not doing it right! Look at you, you're wearing the same jersey, you're teammates, you're comrades. Uncle Mu also came up to make peace with his cigarette gun.
What a team is most afraid of is infighting, and it is even more difficult for teammates to fight.
"Shut up, old thing." However, as soon as Uncle Mu finished speaking, Darko angrily went back.
Then, he pointed to Wayne's nose: "I'm not here to make friends, don't do this with me." ”
"Smack!"
Wayne didn't speak, and slapped Darko's hand off.
Just when everyone was still surprised, Darko, who has a background in mixed martial arts training, also waved his fist at Wayne.
Now, the Great Sage can see Wayne's ultimate skill in communication......
