Las Vegas Fresh News

Every summer, basketball fans in Las Vegas are excited, and while they don't see any big stars, they get to see future superstars at their youngest when they enter the NBA almost every year.

A Las Vegas newspaper also ranked the strength of the summer league teams.

Among them, the Rockets, who sent Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola and Kyrie Lowry, were undoubtedly in first place.

"The Rockets didn't win the NBA championship, do they want to win a summer league championship?" Sun Ce saw the Rockets' lineup complaining wildly.

Other teams are not without active NBA players, but at most they have completed their sophomore years, and the Rockets have fielded almost all of the main lineups except for Ariza, Maddy, and Yao Ming.

Although the Rockets don't have rookies this year, and their only second-round pick is traded, sending out such a roster does feel like they want to bully people.

Just a few days ago, on July 7, the Lakers and the Rockets reached a one-for-one deal, and the Rockets sent Artest to get Ariza for the Lakers.

As soon as Ariza arrived, he wore the No. 1 jersey away, and although it was Maddie who changed to the No. 3 jersey on July 1, it always felt weird.

Sun Ce was busy with his own affairs before, so he didn't pay attention to these, but now he sees the news about Team Rocket, and he is not very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Yao Ming's ankle sprain was not a major event, and he had returned to the Qingdao Sanatorium to recuperate.

Such a big guy, a sprain is also a very serious injury.

Yao Ming, who was born in September 80, is also about to be 29, and his physical fitness has begun to decline, and his peak is that he will begin to decline when he reaches his peak.

Maddie's minimally invasive surgery in 08 basically ended her career, and Maddie was no longer Maddie after that.

Then Tiezha came to the Rocket......

I don't know if Yao Ming and Maddie, who were at least All-Star level partners in previous years, are used to it, what kind of mentality they will have when they meet Tiezha, and whether they will dream of the basket at Staples Center at night.

However, Yao Ming was not reimbursed for this, which was enough for Sun Ce, and what will happen to the Rocket team in the future...... Each family swept the snow in front of the door, and Sun Ce couldn't take care of it himself now.

In the morning, the main thing was to analyze the three opponents and explain the tactics, and there was no extra time to prepare for the game, and the 11th, 12th, and 13th played three games in three consecutive days, first playing the Bucks, then the Timberwolves, and finally the Knicks.

At lunchtime, Sun Ce complained to Curry about the lineup of the Rockets written on the news, and then began tactical training in the afternoon.

Progress of tactical training...... Sun Ce is hard to say, most of his teammates have little tactical awareness, and his tactical literacy is not much different, and the highest tactical literacy is Devin George and Mickey Moore, two veterans, and two rookie guards, Elementary School Boy and Kirby Carr......

What about the others...... Watson, who has played in the NBA for two years, will only hold the ball and do it himself, Randolph mainly eats cakes, to see if the defender can send the ball, his ability to eat cakes is still very good.

Sun Ce is a little better, and his team positioning is also very clear, that is, a breakthrough player, responsible for breaking through and breaking points.

However, after the training ended, when Smart announced tomorrow's starting lineup, something Sun Ce didn't expect happened.

"Curry, Sun, Morrow, Randolph, Toliver, you five starters......"

Sun Ce finally understood why Watson was going to eat them when the first team lineup was announced, it turned out that the first team not only entered the summer league lineup, but also represented the starting lineup......

You don't have to look back, as if you can sense that someone is trying to kill you...... However, Sun Ce felt very good!

……

……

Las Vegas is so rich that it can't find a place to use it......

A city of gambling money with three quasi-NBA-caliber arenas!

The largest, the Thomas Mark Center, is a true NBA-caliber arena that can accommodate up to 43,000 spectators and has hosted All-Star Weekend.

Andy Jones Arena, with its equipment and playing field, is NBA-level, but it can only accommodate 6,000 spectators, and is the intramural basketball arena of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Center, a large multi-stadium with a 5,000-capacity basketball arena, is also NBA-grade, even newer and more advanced than some of the NBA's older teams......

Of course, Sun Ce wants to play at the Thomas Mark Center, and the Warriors want to.

But they are not the favorites, the biggest arena is scheduled for the Lakers, Rockets, Celtics, Cavaliers, Heat and other teams, and their Warriors can only play at Andy Jones Arena and Las Vegas Center.

Due to the large number of participating teams, there are three or four games in each arena every day, and the Warriors are okay, they don't play in the morning, and the Andy Jones Arena plays their first game at half past four in the afternoon, against the Bucks.

In the morning, Smart gave the players free movement, and it was not easy to come to Las Vegas, for some players, and there was no need for a team meeting, just a temporary army.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Sun Ce, Curry, Randolph, and Morrow took the team's assigned Rockets game to the Lakers' first game of the summer league at the Thomas Mark Center.

The crowd was still quite large, and the summer league only had just over 15,000 seats, and about two-thirds of the fans were seated.

This game is really revenge and revenge, most of the main lineup on the Rockets' side is here, and the Lakers are ...... They didn't even have a rookie at all, and Tony Douglas was drafted with the 29th pick or for the Knicks, all NBDL players and undrafted picks, and they were abused by the Rockets 122-71 in 40 minutes of game time......

The Rockets players don't know any of the other people, anyway, they want to beat the Lakers logo when they see it!

The 51-point margin kicked off this Summer League!

……

……

After watching the Rockets' game, Sun Ce felt that he was really excited, as if he had returned to the feeling he had before playing the Heat.

Mostly Brooks!

41 points in a single game!

A-level strength, and because there is basically no defense, Brooks' offense is comparable to A-level and maybe even higher! Quite dazzling, Brooks, who has just finished his sophomore year, is already in his prime.

In the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, a total of 19 players appeared, and only Brooks' speed made Sun Ce feel threatened!

On the first day of training with sprint coach Hassan Jackson, Hassan introduced Sun Ce to six NBA players who were at least equal to him in speed, one of which was and Sun Ce also saw that Brooks' speed evaluation was S.

This is the second S-level speed that Sun Ce has seen since Barbossa, Nash only has S-level speed, maybe he is older, and it may be faster when he is young...... It's also possible that Nash is holding it up well and hasn't slipped yet.

In terms of running speed alone, Sun Ce may not lose to Brooks, but the speed of ball control is not good, and the speed evaluation is based on the speed that can be shown when playing, and it is a comprehensive evaluation of the speed without the ball and the speed of holding the ball.

When Sun Ce played the curtain call before, many of the points were actually scored without the ball, and there were very few really breakthrough scores.

Although the NBA is not a place where you can play well with fast speed, you can make up for the disadvantage in speed to a large extent through confrontation and teamwork in the game.

But Sun Ce's advantage is his speed, and seeing Brooks' style of play gave Sun Ce some inspiration.

Sun Ce is sad that he doesn't have Brooks's three-point hand, and he doesn't have such a good combination of man and ball, which has been accumulated over the years.

However, seeing the direction of progress and learning more about how those speed-oriented players display their talents in the game, Sun Ce feels that it is enough.

……

did not have the complete preparation for the NBA regular season, and in the afternoon, after explaining the tactical arrangement again, Sun Ce and his teammates came to Andy Jones Arena to warm up and prepare for the game.

Andy Jones Arena is playing a game between the Timberwolves and the Knicks, and the next game is the Warriors and Bucks.

Bucks ...... Sun Ce and Curry are excited, and today's opponent is Brandon Jennings!
