Chapter 223: O'Neill
Looking at Huang Xiang, who instantly mingled with O'Neill, Jones and Williams showed envy, but they also felt a little jealous in their hearts.
"Please, I'm an American, an authentic black American, he's a yellow Asian, how can he integrate into this environment faster than me, rely on it." Williams looked at Huang Xiang and muttered dissatisfiedly, which made Jones on the side secretly laugh.
"Alright, everybody, come here." Scott clapped his hands as he watched the crowd in the arena and gathered them together.
"These four are our teammates who were selected by the draft this year, so let's get to know them first." Scott pointed to the four Huang Xiang and said, this is the prototype of this year's Cavaliers, looking forward to the new season.
Huang Xiang glanced at Scott, with his own understanding of this guy, it seems that he is not so real, does he have a new tactic?
The few people who got the military order to chat with were all gathered together, and the season was still a few months away, how could these guys look like I was very dedicated.
Through the introduction of a few people, they gradually became familiar, but even Iverson was bullied by the old man when he was a rookie, even if he was a very weak veteran, this is the unspoken rule of the NBA, and the newcomer is bullied.
So except for Huang Xiang, the other three inevitably became the objects of other people's bags to buy water.
Fortunately, with the presence of O'Neal, this guy not only has 4 big diamond rings, but most importantly, he is one of the greatest centers, and his status is enough to cover Huang Xiang.
The rest of the Cavaliers have slowly returned to the team in recent days, and by June 29, all the active members were at the Cavaliers' base camp.
Under O'Neal's care, Huang Xiang didn't help his old teammates buy and carry things in the training in the past few days, so this guy is also quite comfortable.
There are still many differences between the rules of NBA basketball and domestic college basketball games, and Huang Xiang has gradually integrated into this atmosphere after a few days of comprehensive training.
On the 28th of Byron. Davis is back with the Cavaliers, the guy who is currently the highest-paid guy on the Cavaliers, and actually the biggest big name, the last to return.
But Davis, who has a good impression of China, is not embarrassed for Huang Xiang, and after more than a day of getting along, Huang Xiang also knows the character of this guy who is at this age, as long as he can get the championship.
So Davis doesn't care about the status of the team's first or second brother at this time, as long as he can sit and win the championship is his current wish.
There are very few people with such a mentality, and Huang Xiang knows that only people with "stories" can do it.
Iverson's story is enough to show that a person who is unwilling and ambitious, and who does not obey the coach's arrangement, cannot have the last laugh, so he has no choice but to change to the Turkish league to continue his basketball dream.
So at this time, Huang Xiang was lucky, coming to such a team without a core superstar, he seemed to have become the team's "potential savior", so he did not meet anyone who competed with him for the position of boss.
In recent days, the training has invisibly revolved around Huang Xiang, whether it is offensive or defensive, everyone is slowly getting familiar with this style of play, although many people are very unconvinced, why such a guy can become the core of the team as soon as he comes to the team, but after a few days of contact, they sent a letter to Huang Xiang is indeed strong enough to laugh at this.
On July 1st, a week of training had allowed everyone to get to know each other, and although it was sometimes impossible to speak, it was good to be able to do this for a rebuilt team.
The current lineup of the Cavaliers is very chaotic, point guards Davis, Gibson, Sessions, scoring guards Huang Xiang, Alonzo, small forwards Jones, Weaver, power forwards Williams, Jamison, Vallejo, Hickson, center O'Neal, Hollins, Mesev, there is only one person left from the 15-man lineup.
But will they really go ahead with this lineup for the next season? Presumably the management of the Cavaliers will not be so stupid.
The players are training intensely, the management of the team is also struggling with the squad of players, everyone is busy, of course, this is also relative.
At this time, Hu Yunlong and several people were looking at the NBA webpage in front of them with a sigh, and now they can only rely on the Internet to understand the former Ocean University captain Huang Xiang.
Ocean University has been on summer vacation, but none of the basketball players have left, of course, referring to the guys in their junior year, Sun Jihui and other senior generals have already thought about their future.
"Alas, it seems that this Huang Xiang ignored us when he entered the NBA, forgetting our old friends who used to work hard with him." Hu Yunlong lay on the table and said depressedly.
Ji Wufeng put down the basketball in his hand, glanced at Hu Yunlong, and pouted, Hu Yunlong, this guy is still struggling with Huang Xiang not giving him a ticket to the Cavaliers, it's really .......
"Forget it, the coach said, you still have 200 threes today, did you shoot?" Ji Wufeng glanced at Hu Yunlong and said with a smile, Boy, you also have a handle in my hand.
"Ah, of course, I finished it at your dinner time." Hu Yunlong rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Cut" Wang Jian and the others all raised their middle fingers at Hu Yunlong, despising him for lying.
Compared with the relaxed and active inside Ocean University, Huang Xiang was still sweating on the basketball court at this time, making layups again and again, impacting the rebounds in front of him.
It was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Huang Xiang was still practicing his skills, and the basketball court was empty at this time, and he was the only one.
"Boom" made a few feints, and then Huang Xiang rushed into the inside line, dunked the basketball into the basket fiercely, grabbed the basket with both hands and made a pull-up, which was a very good feeling.
The NBA's basket is a little higher than Cuba's, but this height is nothing in Huang Xiang's eyes, for a guy whose eyes can exceed the basket in parallel, this is just pediatrics.
I let go of my hands and glanced at the time, today is two hours longer than usual, well, it seems that there has been a little progress, hehe, okay, go home.
Walk to the parking lot outside the door, take out the key, open the lock, Huang Xiang went up and rode back home, ride? That's right, Huang Xiang was riding a bicycle at this time, and he bought the bicycle after making a big decision.
The night in Cleveland is beautiful, especially on the outside of the basketball court. But an NBA champion show is riding a bicycle home, and I don't know how many people can imagine it.
Although Huang Xiang was already an NBA player at this time, and he entered the NBA as a champion show, Huang Xiang didn't make a dime at all.
First of all, the Cavaliers did not sign a contract with Huang Xiang at this time, and they did not have any endorsements, so Huang Xiang at this time still spent his father's money.
As for Huang Xiang's so-called "home", it is still the house that O'Neal bought when he was playing in Cleveland, and Huang Xiang, of course, is not polite to him.
It's not at all true that O'Neal's mansion is the most domineering of NBA stars, this guy is one of the players who likes to enjoy it the most.
Not to mention adding a Huang Xiang, even if Huang Xiang's media group arrives, O'Neill can also stuff them into his villa.
"Squeak" Huang Xiang parked the bicycle in front of the villa with a flick, then leaned the bike against the wall, opened the door and walked into the house.
"Fatty, fat" Huang Xiang shouted inside when he entered the villa, and by feeling, he knew that this guy must be playing a game again.
"How many times have I told you, you can't call me fat, boy, looking for death, right?" O'Neill walked downstairs with a smile, looking at Huang Xiang in front of him with a straight punch.
Huang Xiang saw a flash to the side, dodged O'Neill's slow punch, and then ignored him and walked to his room.
"Hey, I said, when will you pay me the rent?" O'Neill watched Huang Xiang scratch his bald head, but although the smile on his face tried his best to hide, Huang Xiang still saw through at a glance that this guy was joking.
"Damn, I'll give it to you when the salary is paid." Huang Xiang walked to the refrigerator quite sluggingly, took out a drink from it and drank it with a clatter.
"You really think this is your house,, get out of the way." O'Neill saw that Huang Xiang began to drink his own drink without any exception, and walked to the sofa without the slightest exception and took out a bottle of Coke and drank it.
"I say, fatty, what do you think our lineup is missing?" Huang Xiang looked at O'Neill and said.
"Hey, I told you not to call me that." O'Neill's eyes widened and he pretended to look at Huang Xiang with anger, but then he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you." ”
"For this matter, in fact, our inner line is still very weak, and we should exchange for a guy who can really sit on the inner line." O'Neill thought for a moment and said.
"Why, so quickly said that you can't do it? Isn't it enough to have you? Huang Xiang laughed, this is not like O'Neill before.
"Hahaha, I know that you like to tell the truth, yes, I'm still so good." O'Neill was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Damn, that's your nature, smiling and grinning.
"Forget it, these things are things that those high-ranking guys should consider, let's not waste time, let's go, I heard that there are a few beautiful beauties in the Jinyan nightclub outside, play for a while?" O'Neill patted Huang Xiang on the shoulder, raised an eyebrow and asked.
"No, no, no" Huang Xiang shook his head after listening to O'Neill's words, I can't be like you, I'm still a virgin.
"Haha" Seeing Huang Xiang's expression, O'Neill laughed again, walked upstairs and went back to his room to prepare.
Alas, what a living treasure, Huang Xiang sighed as he looked at O'Neill's back, but he was still full of confidence in the future prospects.
(Hehe, I'll have another watch in the evening, thank you for your support, alas, the summer in Beijing, it's really hot)
