Summer in the NBA is always rushed, and by September, players who have been fishing and vacationing are returning to the court, either to run training camps together or to find trainers alone for intensive training. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe smoke of last season has cleared, and all the pain, loss and frustration can be wiped out in one summer because the new season is about to begin.

Every year before the start of the new season, every team looks strong, every player looks ready for a new year's explosion, and every rookie looks like he can survive on a new stage. Of course, everyone knows that this is just a beautiful scene before the start of the battlefield, just like those soldiers who wear straight uniforms and have high ambitions before they go to the front, and when the war begins, death and flesh will make them experience what cruelty is.

The same is true in the NBA, where reporters and fans alike go out of their way to pay attention to the details and changes in the team before the season begins. Who's coming, who's gone, who's training today, who's going somewhere tomorrow to meet that old-timer, who's going to follow a retired superstar to learn technology. In short, hopeful people tend to have a great interest in things and want to discover something they want to see – for example, next season, when our team rises.

And when the season really begins, and those offseason fantasies about the lineup, combinations, and new player technologies come to naught in one defeat after another, there is no longer any attention to those trivial news. Everybody's clamoring for trades, for substitutions, for a new coach, or simply, for the next season.

Now, Phoenix Suns fans and media are in the first phase of mapping out a bright future for the Suns next season. However, it seems that many people are not very happy with the Suns' operation this summer. Although they got three-time championship coach Fox Leon, they lost the Brazilian lightning Barbosa in the draft, and then added some players who are not good enough to be high, such as Jasco Waisius, who has proven to be unfit in the NBA, Brent Barry, who is already old and can no longer fly, and a towel guru Turiaf, and also traded a hairy boy from Puerto Rico from the Mavericks, and none of the signings seem to be reliable.

As for the two players who were taken in the draft, one is Gasol's younger brother, yes, everyone just remembers that this guy is Gasol's younger brother; There's also Dudley from Boston College, a forward who can't run fast and can't jump high, and people don't know what the point of choosing such a person is to bring in other than to have another guy from Boston on the Suns.

And the team's core lineup is still the same, Nash is still MVP-level, but he is a year older; Stadamyre still doesn't look defensive, and will continue to do so; Sean Marion still won't shoot, and his role is diminishing with the return of Stadamire; Boris Dior faced a similar problem, when Stodammire was there, he struggled to make the most of it, and the magical performance of '06 was gone; As for Ragabel, he's good, but he's not bad.

Faced with this situation, the entire Phoenix basketball world is buzzing, and the only news that makes them feel good is that D'Antoni is willing to stay with the Suns to coach, and then that damn Fox Leon hasn't earned the trust of the city. That's right, the Phoenix people call Leon "the-damn-Lion", damn Leon. It's not just the Phoenix people who call it that, the entire West, but any team that likes to attack, no one likes Fox Leon and his Boston Celtics.

In recent years, no matter what kind of gorgeous whirlwind offense the Suns played, there was always no way to meet two teams, one is the San Antonio Spurs and the other is the Boston Celtics. Especially the Boston Celtics, Leon, who was still coaching in Boston at the time, would always lead the Celtics to kill the Suns' offense with tough defense every time he came to Phoenix, and there were some ugly tricks in it.

Now that this guy is in Phoenix, many people worry that he will make the Suns as ugly as the Celtics, and the passionate Arizona doesn't like his team to be a defense-oriented, "ultimate defense" team. They need fiery dunks and hot three-pointers.

Under this questioning, at the end of September, the Phoenix Suns' rookie training camp opened as scheduled, which is a habit of Leon, when the team personnel changes significantly, he will open a training camp for newcomers, meet with everyone, and train together to adapt. This makes it not too unfamiliar when the team's real training camp opens in October.

Because Marc Gasol still has to fulfill his contract in Spain, there are a total of five players in this rookie training camp, and the patchwork is just another lineup.

The camp was set up in the gymnasium of Arizona State University, and Leon woke up very early on the day the camp began. Now he lives in an upscale apartment in Phoenix, has bought a third-hand Toyota, and in the morning he drives straight to Lake Ohasu.

Arizona State University has a total of five campuses and one campus, and this branch is a small undergraduate college located in Lake Ohasu City, west of Phoenix. When Leon arrived at the gymnasium in Lake Ohasu City, he contacted the school and opened the door, after which some of the Suns staff arrived. Boss Savo felt very incomprehensible about Leon's insistence on opening a rookie training camp this time and putting the training hall in this place. Not only does it cost extra rent, but it also requires employees to come here to work, knowing that the players have to train and the trainers are indispensable.

But as the team's new manager, Leon insisted on doing so, and before the new season began, the owner was of course trying to be satisfied. Leon looked at the gymnasium at the Lake Ohasu campus, which was relatively small, somewhat rudimentary, incomplete, and without physiotherapy equipment, which was indeed not suitable for professional players to train here. However, Lake Ohasu City is a good place to be, it is a famous tourist destination in Arizona, because it is very close to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, so many tourists come here, and the most famous entertainment here is of course jet boating.

Around 9 a.m., five players arrived at the arena one after another, and in addition to the five of them, there were other marginalized people who came here to participate in training camp and try to get a contract with the Suns to occupy a spot. Such as Brian Skinner, Sean Marks, Lyndon Johnson, etc. Leon stood on the sidelines of the pitch without saying a word in the face of the players who arrived, while everyone else dared to go up and talk to them, including veteran players like Brent Barry.

Leon is well-known among players, as is his iron fist, after all, he is the first and only coach in NBA history to fight a player in a game, and he also beat the player to the ground. When he leaned against the wall with his chest in his arms, no one dared to step forward and say a word, and everyone spontaneously started chatting and warming up with the ball on the sidelines.

However, everyone is worried in their hearts, I don't know when Leon will start training, it is said that he has a very terrible set of off-ball training methods, requiring everyone to run through imagination and play, this is an unheard of training method, and it is said that those who have practiced it say that it is good. However, Fox Leon didn't seem to mean to take them to off-ball training, and he had been watching silently from the sidelines, not knowing what he was watching.

Jose Barria was the first to take a beat, and since he accidentally took an extra look in the crowd during summer training camp, he was forced to leave his beloved Mavericks and Coach Carlisle and run to Phoenix and Fox Leon. He still remembers the day he was traded, Carlisle called him on the night, and he said on the phone that Fox Leon was a coach who was good at observation and discovery, and although he looked cold, his intelligence was amazing when he talked to him with his heart.

So Barria stepped forward and took the initiative to greet Leon, but Leon looked at him, did not speak, and continued to look up at everyone training on their own. Barria didn't know what medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, so he had to go back to the court, and the big guy was training aimlessly. Unexpectedly, Leon didn't speak all morning, and when he knew that the noon training was coming to an end, Leon finally clapped his hands and gathered everyone.

Everyone thought that Leon would say something meaningful, for example, what he found after observing everyone's training in the morning, and several marginal people worked particularly hard in the first half of the training, just to let Leon see. But Leon said, "In the afternoon, after lunch, we went to Lake Ohasu to play with the motorboat. With that, Leon left the training hall and went to find a place to eat.

The players and staff who left a stadium were confused, could it be that they had come here to play the motorboat?
