On October 1st, along with the birthday of his motherland, Sun Ce officially started his career in a foreign country.

The first season has begun!

As a new member of the national team...... A member of the national training team, Sun Ce once again became the target of domestic sports media.

Of course, the number of media that Sun Ce attracted could not be compared with that of Houston, or even of New Jersey.

But compared to the rest of the Warriors...... Sun Ce was surrounded by the most reporters.

Originally, the Warriors have not paid much attention to it in recent years, except for the Black Eight, and not many people even remember the tragedy of their 48 wins in the 07-08 season and not being able to enter the playoffs......

The Warriors' training camp began, and on the media day, the major TV stations only symbolically sent interns to take pictures, as the team that got the No. 7 pick and chose a thin pitcher, and the Warriors had nothing to break in the eyes of the American media.

There is a Chinese player...... Chinese players have not been new in recent years, with three Chinese players playing in the NBA last season, and only Yao Ming deserves attention.

On the day of the media day, the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred not only appeared from Curry's eyes, but others were also envious and hateful!

After hearing that Sun Ce was surrounded by domestic reporters, Bill Duffy hurriedly came to Auckland to help Sun Ce in person, not to drive people away, but to teach him how to deal with the media.

In this regard, Curry will actually be, as a member of the Little Green House at the time of the draft, there are leagues who specially ask people to train them on how to be interviewed before the draft.

But now Curry ...... I can't use my skills...... No one interviewed you!

During the media day, Sun Ce's performance was much better than the previous two days, at least he would not hold back for a long time and be perfunctory when he heard difficult questions, and his skills in changing the topic were much better.

……

"What kind of training camp is this, just change the name to pre-season chores week." Sun Ce complained.

"......" Curry didn't want to deal with Sun Ce.

However, Curry also felt that the training camp was very painful and delayed his training!

Every day there are all sorts of chores, real tactical training...... A maximum of two to three hours a day, including an explainer part.

Most of the time there are all sorts of "chores".

In fact, for veteran players, those who help to play "opening advertisements" for various stores in the stadium and help the team chat with visiting local dignitaries and sponsors are what they have to do every season in the training camp, and they have long been accustomed to it.

It's just the first time for the two of them to experience this, and it feels awkward.

And to be honest, these activities are not long, those people with heads and faces in Oakland and San Francisco will come for a while, but they need to adapt to the time of these people, just because of these things, so they can't devote themselves to training, delay for a few days, and this has no impact on Sun Ce, every afternoon after the team activities, he will stay and practice, Curry can't stand it, occasionally stay, occasionally go back early.

There is no way to compare with this madman!

The real "training camp" can be completed in a week, and the more than 20 days of preseason games are the real preparation time for the regular season.

Compared with last season, the Warriors lineup has changed a lot this season, mainly because the second team has changed a lot, and it is a fantasy to complete pre-season training in a week.

Some players simply don't remember, such as Monta Ellis, Sun Ce has been looking for an opportunity to strike up a conversation with the new boss, and when he gets the playbook, he throws it in the shoe cabinet under the closet.

The core players are privileged, and they have the final say in the style of play on the pitch.

And Sun Ce must remember that when the boss wants any tactics, he has to cooperate.

And the Warriors' tactics ...... It's called a mess, there are all kinds of everything, Sun Ce can only sigh that he is worthy of being a "mad scientist".

……

The messy first bootcamp trip ended on October 7th.

It was less than eight o'clock in the morning on the 8th, Sun Ce and Curry still came to the arena early, but this time the others came quite early, and they all arrived before nine o'clock.

All very energetic, all very motivated, 5 p.m., it was the first pre-season!

The eight players who didn't get a contract all wanted to do a little better in pre-season and try to get a contract.

Role players want to play well and get playing time in the regular season.

Neither Sun nor Curry did much training.

Curry is okay, mainly Sun Ce, whose 19-year-old age has limited his stamina to a certain extent.

He didn't want to admit it, but he could only accept the fact that he was still developing.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the old Nelson came to the training ground, and the assistant coach had already arranged the tactical training.

It is mainly the training of offensive tactics, and the defensive training is very basic man-marking, high-post pinching, and low-post pinching, and it is gone, and it is not as much as the defensive training that Sun Ce watched in the Suns before.

In two training sessions totaling 80 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes in the afternoon, Nelson Sr. and Smart were very serious in directing the training, correcting mistakes and recording each player's tactical memory and running ability......

Starting today, the "selection" of the regular season lineup has officially begun.

In the past few days, whether the new players have memorized their tactics well and whether they have not memorized them well can be seen at once in today's three training sessions.

Of course, it is also related to strength, Ellis, who will remember tactics well in his rookie season, basically can't remember tactics now - in his heart, Lao Tzu is tactics!

But even if he makes the most mistakes in training, it will not affect his status as an unlimited fireman.

……

"Hmm......"

Sun Ce sat on the bench in a daze.

The first preseason game of the new season started at 5 p.m. as scheduled.

However, in the first game, he reached the fourth quarter and did not get a minute of playing time.

Curry, who played the longest game of the day, played poorly and was ravaged by the opposing Baron Davis in all directions.

The best performers weren't Ellis, Margetty, Stephen Jackson and others, who started for a few minutes and then went down.

The Warriors' top performers were CJ Watson and Reggie Williams, both of whom scored more than 20 points.

The 23-year-old Reggie Williams is really strong, and he blew up the opponent's second-year genius Eric Gordon, why did he lose the election, Sun Ce felt very strange.

But what is even more strange about Sun Ce is that even Cobe Carr and Antoine Walker, two players who have not and have no NBA strength, went up to play for more than ten minutes......

102-106, the Warriors lost their first preseason game.

In general, in the first preseason game, proper rookies pecked each other, one was sixth from the bottom of the power rankings, and one was seventh from the bottom of the power rankings...... A well-deserved rookie peck.

……

……

One minute of playing time was not obtained, Sun Ce was very depressed, and when he was interviewed after the game, he was asked by a reporter from China why he didn't get playing time, Sun Ce could only say that it was arranged by the coaching staff, and he could accept it.

But is it really acceptable?

The heart is hard to accept.

There is no squad limit in the preseason, and all 20 players can be substituted, and Sun Ce is one of three players who have not played a second of playing time.

The game was over, Curry played 35 minutes, 4 of 17, and went back to rest first after being physically and mentally exhausted, and Sun Ce stayed and continued to practice.

I can't do anything, I can only practice.

However, Sun Ce had just finished warming up and started practicing free throws and close-range shooting, when someone came again.

Ellis!

"Monta, are you here to train too?" Sun Ce greeted as usual.

"Hmm." Ellis replied as usual.

Sun Ce touched his nose and continued to practice shooting and laying the foundation.

After practicing until his arms were sore, Sun Ce came to the gym and continued to train his waist, abdomen, thighs, etc., which were arranged by the Nash training section in the systematic learning section.

The kind that trains to the limit of physical fitness.

……

The game ended at 7:20 p.m., and by 9:20 p.m., after two hours of shooting practice, Ellis went to the gym inside the arena as he had done for the past few days.

"This kid is here again! It's a late day than the other day. ”

Ellis looked at the rookie who was obviously exhausted but still holding on to training, and it felt incredible.

"How can I leave the arena earlier than a rookie?" Ellis also sat down to practice his back strength.

For the past seven days, Sun Ce has come here to train every night after the team's chores are over, and he will continue to practice when Curry is gone.

Ellis practiced until Sun Ce reached his limit every time, and he left after achieving the training goals of the Nash training method.

For Sun Ce, this is something that cannot be helped, he has to train like this.

But Ellis had been observing Sun Ce for a long time.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Sun Ce finally practiced himself to the limit, and when the dignitaries dragged their bodies to take a shower and take a taxi home to sleep, someone spoke to him.

'Don't be too frustrated, you're definitely going to have playing time for the next game, and it's a lot.'

"Huh?"

Ellis suddenly burst out with a sentence that made Sun Ce a little stunned.

After a few seconds, Elliston thought that since he had spoken, he would say more: "You and CJ are in a competitive relationship, and the coaching staff wants you to watch your performance as the main point guard in different games. ”

Hearing this, Sun Ce thought for a while...... I guess so!

Curry played 35 minutes today, Watson played 31 minutes, Curry was there when Watson was there, Sun Ce felt that it was probably the coaching staff to see who cooperated better with Curry, and he and Watson were both on the court, and no one would pass the ball to anyone, so it was impossible to verify this.

"So maybe the first four or five or five or six games are all about picking the regular rotation lineup for the regular season, and the last two or three games are really running-in?"

Thinking of this, Sun Ce felt that it was very possible!

Ellis has also been a second-round pick before and has certainly experienced that.

"Okay, Boss, I see!" Sun Ce is much more energetic.

Ellis nodded and walked to the locker room.

When passing by Sun Ce's side, Ellis glanced at Sun Ce, and wondered in his heart: "This rookie's physical strength is not good!" Every day, I was half tired from training in the middleweight division, but the next day I was full of energy...... The physical strength recovers quickly, this is also a talent, and you can't lose to him in terms of training! ”

Ellis would like to remind Sun Ce that Sun Ce's talent in certain areas is the key.

Sun Ce found a glimmer of hope, felt much more comfortable, and was about to go back to the locker room to take a shower and take a taxi home, when the system panel popped up.

"Humility: Challenge the Arena Rats to trigger."
