Chapter 125, Preseason

Sitting on the plane, Bill Duffy had already fallen asleep, and Huang Yu was a little tired, how did it become like this after a good return to China for training! Is the times moving too fast? Or is the city's routine too deep? Why is there still a bit of a rush that can't keep up with the rhythm!

After more than ten hours of flight, he finally arrived in Los Angeles, and he came back much stronger than when he went, Bill Duffy bought a first-class ticket for Huang Yu, although it was very comfortable, but thousands of dollars made Huang Yu feel a little distressed! However, Bill Duffy's words made Huang Yu a lot easier.

If you want to make a lot of money, you must first learn to spend money! And sooner or later, you will spend this money for first class, and spending thousands of dollars when you are poor is a kind of distress, and it can also be a motivation for you to remember it! It will make you want to go and earn that money back!

But when you have money, thousands of dollars will not be taken into account, and when the time comes, you will spend money like running water, and it is easy to go bankrupt like those retired stars! In the end, I had to do some work that I didn't see properly to make ends meet.

And a few thousand dollars is just his own expense, Bill Duffy bought the ticket with his own money, according to his words, he came out to play, and Huang Yu didn't need Huang Yu to get this money! When he went to Huaxia or other places because of his employer, he would send bills to Huang Yu for the expenses incurred at that time, and if Huang Yu wanted to set up a team in the future, then there would be a special amount to reimburse these.

Huang Yu doesn't understand it very well, anyway, the contract was signed! The system elves have decided that there is no problem, but the matter of forming a team is too far away, so let's see how to face the upcoming summer league!

When he was in China, Huang Yu received an email from the Lakers informing him to participate in the preseason! In fact, the Lakers planned to let Huang Yu participate in the summer league held in Las Vegas from July 12th to 21st, but Kobe Bryant had already reported to the team to train rookies, so he had to give up.

Before Huang Yu can participate in the preseason, he still needs a week of rookie training camp! Of course, it's just a formality!

After resting at home for a night and going to the training camp the next day, after arriving at the training camp, Bill Duffy's phone also called, telling Huang Yu not to show himself too much, these rookies have been called the worst by those so-called famous coaches and top scouts, and it is okay to go through the motions, and after training in China for so long, it is not too much to take a proper rest and rest.

So Huang Yu's life of playing soy sauce in the rookie training camp began, and every time Beasley and Westbrook asked Huang Yu to come to 5V5, he would refuse! So slowly the outside world began to spread news that was unfavorable to Huang Yu, but who cares! Larry Brown even bluntly said that this year's rookies are all rubbish, and the Lakers have made the most rubbish trade!

Talking about cannons, Huang Yu may not have done this famous coach who pours chicken soup to players all year round! But there is a good saying, if you run away, the monk can't run the temple, if you Larry Brown continues to be idle at home, it will be okay, and going out of the mountain to coach the Bobcat is equivalent to giving Huang Yu a chance to take revenge! What's more, there is a black mamba above his head who is currently very short-tempered! It's no wonder if you don't bite you in the regular season against the Bobcats! As for the playoff encounters, sorry, the Bobcats entering the playoffs is also a round trip! It should be impossible to meet the Lakers!

----------

During the training camp, Beasley invited Huang Yu to play with him more than once, but Huang Yu dared to touch the thing they played, although it was said that big * was nothing in the United States, and many people even blatantly used it! But this is an NBA rookie training camp, isn't playing that thing here looking for death, even if Huang Yu doesn't touch others, will they believe it? I'm in enough trouble now! In the coming one, is it still alive?

So Michael Beasley, who may be the first guy in NBA history to start dying in rookie training camp, was found to have secretly hidden *people and smoked* in a hotel room with Mario Chammos and Darrell Arthur, fined 50,000 US dollars, and went to rookie training again the following year!

After finishing the rookie training camp, Huang Yu returned to Los Angeles and returned to the team to prepare for the preseason.

Unlike the summer league, the main players and main substitutes of the summer league teams will not appear, and the players who participate in the summer league are the team's fringe players, free agents, NBDL (NBA Development League) players, and international players, and these people have only one goal, which is to use the summer league to earn trust, stand firm and not be cut, and win the opportunity to perform well in the next season.

However, the preseason is already an official game in the NBA, but it is a warm-up game for each team to familiarize themselves with the lineup and tactics, because after each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to let the new and old players of each team run in the lineup, familiarize themselves with the team's playing style, determine the lineup of each team for the new season, and also enhance the communication between players and coaches.

Moreover, the preseason is also one of the ways for the NBA to promote itself, and often every year the NBA selects some teams to expand overseas markets, such as China, Japan, Spain, and other countries to hold international games.

----------

After practicing with the team for about a week, the Lakers held a press conference, and Huang Yu showed off his No. 11 jersey! Then I stepped on the plane to Huaxia! The league now has four Chinese players, and it is a great time to expand the Chinese market! However, they did not ignore the storm set off by the yellow rain in China! They believe that both good and bad voices are the voices of propaganda.

So the Lakers need to play two preseason games in China, in order to balance the league, the Rockets and Lakers are placed in the magic capital, and the Nets and Lakers games are placed in the Chinese capital, but it is a pity that the Bucks and Sun* have not reached a signing intention at present, so the Bucks do not have a game in China.

Looking at the excited fans, the Lakers' players feel that their worldview has changed, Nima! Isn't my Great Laker second only to the Rockets in China? Why is the boo so loud? Fortunately, they can't understand the Chinese, otherwise Huang Yu, who is hidden among these people, will really be self-conscious!

When training with these veteran players, with Kobe Bryant's hand-picked four big words, Huang Yu escaped from the link of teasing the rookie! However, Kobe Bryant didn't close Huang Yu and threw his bag directly on his back.

Kobe Bryant looked at the leisurely Huang Yu, this guy who was hand-picked by himself barely met expectations, but now the team's main lineup is very perfect, it is not suitable to stuff him into the main lineup, if you want him to grow faster, you need a lot of shots, although there is still a lack of tactical execution ability, but this is not a problem! After all, he is a rookie who has only received more than a year of professional training.

So during the internal meeting a few days ago, Kobe Bryant made a suggestion! Although Phil Jackson is a little disagreeable! But I reluctantly agreed.

----------

The Lakers played a total of seven preseason games, and in the two games in China, the Lakers' starting lineup was: scoring guard Kobe, point guard Fisher, center Bynum, power forward Gasol, small forward Odom, originally Ariza was the starting small forward, but after he was traded to Huang Yu as a bargaining chip, the original sixth man Odom was mentioned to the starting lineup!

Huang Yu directly squeezed out Vujacic and Wharton Jr. to become the sixth man, although the two of them were unhappy, but they didn't dare to say anything under Kobe's threat! The starting lineup in the preseason is just going up and going through the motions, so Huang Yu, who is the sixth man, has plenty of time to play! Averaged 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game! Although the data is relatively average, the Lakers are still quite satisfied, after all, only two games in Huaxia Station Huang Yu played more than 20 minutes, and the other five games averaged only 15 minutes per game! The efficiency value is still good!

However, the Lakers have won only four of their seven games! The win rate is over 50%! So Phil Jackson is still satisfied with this result, after all, this fake monk is testing a different lineup every time!

One week after the pre-season, the 2008-2009 regular season officially kicked off! And the Lakers are facing the opponent Rockets in the preseason Huaxia station!
