Soon, the rest of the Bucks' players also entered the locker room, all familiar faces, known as the "high-paid and low-energy" Bobby Simmons; '01 Slam Dunk Contest Champion Mason; '05 champion Boggart......

There are those who take the initiative to say hello to Yi Jianlian, and there are those who don't take the initiative to say hello to Yi Jianlian, and there are even those who don't take Yi Jianlian seriously, anyway, there are all kinds of things.

Yi Jianlian accepted all the orders, no matter what attitude other players used towards him, he stepped forward to say hello one by one.

"Looks like everyone is here!"

When everyone got to know each other and returned to their locker and sat down, another guy came in at the door of the locker room, looking a little simple, like a farmer driving a walk-behind tractor, with drooping eyes, eyes that were somewhat similar to Maddie's, but not as dead as Maddie's eyes, Maddie seemed to never wake up, and he was better, like he had just woken up.

I really can't praise him for being a bit "Du Xiaoshuai" with a clear conscience, but as soon as he entered the locker room, all the players sitting stood up and greeted him.

There is no one else who can have such a big influence in the locker room, but Michael Reed, the boss of the Bucks and the new darling of Milwaukee.

"Easy?" Reed's eyes wandered around the locker room, and he finally found the person he was looking for.

"Come on!"

Reed has only seen Yi Jianlian's video on the Internet, but he can see that the Chinese boy in front of him is much stronger than the video! Originally, he was worried that such a body would not be able to withstand the impact of the NBA, and wanted to remind him, but now, he found that he was thinking too much, and the young man selected by Hammond with a high pick was much more diligent than he imagined, and it was only an offseason that he developed such a body.

"Huh? Good! Yi Jianlian didn't expect Reed to shout and just want to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously.

"Also, I said it when Andrew first came, and I said it to everyone, and you are no exception!" Michael Reed pointed to a locker next to his locker closet, which was empty, "The future of the Bucks is there, as long as you can have enough performance, that locker is yours!" ”

Next to the locker of the boss, the meaning of which, coupled with what Michael Reed is saying now, is self-evident.

"I see!" Yi Jianlian knew that this was motivating him!

"Alright, guys, don't keep our new coach waiting, it's time for us to assemble, everyone pack up and go to the training ground!"

In Reed's words, all the players closed the doors of their locker cabinets, and went out of the locker room in twos and threes, Yi Jianlian's locker was the farthest, and when he walked back and forth, the players in the locker room were almost gone.

"New rookie, clean up the stool!" Mason shouted to Yi Jianlian before leaving.

“OK！” Yi Jianlian hurriedly agreed, he knew that the "military training" had begun!

After he put all the items in the locker room in place, the locker room was empty, and he didn't care about checking anything, Yi Jianlian trotted out of the door of the locker room.

"Easy!"

Unexpectedly, Michael Reid was waiting for him outside the door.

"Huh?"

Yi Jianlian looked down at his boss.

"It's nothing, I just feel very close to you, I want to tell you that the locker you use now is what I used before, I hope it will bring you good luck!"

As we all know, Michael Reed's background is not obvious, he was only selected in the second round that year, and he was injured in the first season, but he did not give up, through an offseason of training, let himself break out strongly from the second season, and continued to break through in the following years, and finally became the core of the Bucks, the NBA's All-Star point guard.

Yi Jianlian's situation is actually quite similar to him back then, although Yi Jianlian's draft ranking is very high, but everyone knows that there are so many people outside waiting to see Yi Jianlian make a fool of himself and waiting to fall into the well that it is impossible to count.

If you really want to be more serious, Yi Jianlian's pressure is much greater than that of Reed at the beginning!

This made Michael Reid feel a little empathetic, and Yi Jianlian was now using his locker, which made him feel more intimate, and he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Focus on yourself, don't be disturbed by the outside world!" Easy, you'll make it! ”

"Okay, Boss Michael, I got it!"

"Well, okay, take my sneakers with you!" Reed dropped a sentence without being salty, turned around and left first, leaving Yi Jianlian alone in the wind.

That's going too fast!

"......" is not a good bird!

***

Today is the first day of training camp, and the main process is to get to know each other, after all, every offseason there will be new people joining, and there will be old people leaving, and you need to get acquainted with each other during the training camp.

Moreover, this year, the Bucks have a new coach, and an impassioned pledge meeting is even more needed.

"Okay, guys, as I said, in the new season, we have new players to join, our style of play will also change, our team is becoming more and more mature, a great journey of conquest is waiting for us, we have reason to believe that this season, the East will be stirred by us!"

Eloquence is a necessary talent for NBA head coaches, and Xiao K said it with spit flying, and the eyes of the players in a row opposite him lit up.

"Okay, let's start this afternoon's training first, because it's the first day, we need to have a detailed understanding of the physical condition of each player, and everyone will be divided into groups for physical testing!"

Yi Jianlian was assigned to the big forward group, and there were two other people in the same group as him, one Ilyasova and one Charlie Villanueva, who was nicknamed the "eyebrowless hero" in the mouth of Chinese fans.

Villanueva had a strange disease since he was a child, which caused him to lose hair all over his body, and he didn't even have half a hair on his eyebrows, so Chinese fans gave him such a nickname.

In fact, this nickname is a bit insulting in it, and Yi Jianlian will definitely not joke about this anyway.

The three of them are tested in a group.

In fact, this should be very weird, players in the same position in a group of tests, it is inevitable that they will not compete secretly, anyway, there are only five starts, who doesn't want to play more time?

But the three people in the big forward group talked and laughed, Ilyasova had a little little brain, he just wanted to put on the shelf of his predecessors, and only cared about shouting "rookie rookie", and Villanueva was an optimistic guy who didn't know how to shake his face, and Yi Jianlian played with him after a while.

The three of them warmed up almost, and they started the physical test, compared with these two guys, Yi Jianlian, who practiced flying in the off-season, scored quite well in the physical test, and the main physical qualities were the best among the three guys, which also made Ilyasova a little impressed with him: "Is the current rookie talent so exaggerated?" ”
