In July 2011, Yao Ming, who had been plagued by injuries before, announced his retirement. This is a big deal for the Chinese. The dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia will also be threatened. Now there is only the tepid Yi Di in the NBA league. But soon another Chinese will enter the NBA.

On November 26, 2011, after 15 hours of negotiations, the two sides finally announced that an agreement had been reached, ending a long shutdown that lasted 149 days.

Previously, with no end in sight to the shutdown, many players chose to play overseas, and according to ESPN, a total of 70 players are currently playing overseas. Most of these players have a jump option in their contracts when they sign contracts with overseas teams. Now that the suspension is over, they can immediately terminate their contract with the team and return to the United States to prepare for the new season.

Once the lockout was over and a new collective bargaining agreement was reached, the league quickly laid out a plan for the start of the new season. Free agency and training camp will kick off on Dec. 9, with every NBA team playing 66 games in the regular season, with the 2011-2012 regular season kicking off in the early hours of Dec. 26.

Throughout the month of December, teams made reinforcements, trades, contract extensions, and other work to prepare for the imminent arrival of the new season.

While waiting for the notice, Chen Shu signed a contract with Smith. Although the ability has improved, the daily training is still going on, and today's training is only half completed now, Chen Shu's physical strength has been consumed, just after a shot, the phone on the sidelines rang, it was Smith's call, it was estimated that the trial had eyebrows.

"Hey, Chen, tomorrow we're going to try out with the Philadelphia 76ers and the day after tomorrow we're flying to the Chicago Bulls. Both teams are currently in need of reinforcements at the back. Haha, everything went well. Smith's hearty laughter rang out on the phone.

In the Philadelphia 76ers' training volume venue, when Chen Shu and Smith arrived, there were already some young people preparing. Smith greeted Lloyd Pearce, the 76ers assistant coach in charge of the trial, and Pierce looked at Chen Shu and said flirtatiously, "Point guard?" Yellow-skinned kid".

Chen Shu saw that Pierce didn't seem to treat him very well, so he didn't speak and just nodded, thinking that when he saw his strength, this coach would be impressed with me.

Pierce asked the staff to arrange physical tests for the young people who came to the trial.

Chen Shu is still a little nervous about the side of the body, after all, his physical fitness is a little worse than others, and the only advantage is speed. Sure enough, waiting for the physical test to be completed, Pierce looked at Chen Shu's physical test report, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain. Of course, Chen Shu's speed is still very good, although it is a little more than this year's champion Lang Owen.

Chen Shu's physical test data, height 1.90 meters, weight 83 kilograms, arm span 2.01 meters, vertical bounce of 65 cm on the spot, and vertical bounce of 89 cm for running, such data probably belongs to the level of the lower reaches of the NBA. However, in terms of speed, it can be said that there is an upstream. In terms of average speed, the Chen (16.8 mph) is not much different from Ross (16.6 mph), Wall (16.48 mph) and Irving (15.67 mph). Even in terms of starting speed, the Chen Shu (12.4 mph) is less different from the Irving (12.64 mph).

It stands to reason that a guard with this kind of speed can establish himself in the NBA, but today Lloyd Pierce himself brought a young man Charles Jenkins, who was the best of the draft he personally discovered, with a height of 191 cm, a weight of 100 kg, and a good speed. Therefore, he looks down on Chen Shu very much, firstly, because of Smith's face to give Chen Shu a chance, and secondly, he hopes that the team can sign Charles Jenkins as a backup point guard.

After the completion of the physical test, Pierce organized the young people to divide the red and blue teams, and through the results of the physical test, Pierce divided the talented ones with Charles Jenkins into the red team, and the poor ones with Chen Shu in the blue team.

After the two teams warmed up, Charles Jenkins also knew about Chen Shu competing with him for point guard, so he began to look at Chen Shu defiantly. Chen Shu didn't show weakness either, thinking that your mother wouldn't know you if she was playing for a while!

The red team took the lead, Jenkins controlled the ball, the first ball battle, Jenkins also knew that his advantage was his body, so he used his body to squeeze Chen Shu, bulldozer-like breakthrough away, attract defense, and divide the red team center, and this center named Wilson still has a live hand under his hand, flying defenders, and hitting mid-range shots.

Jenkins swiped the assist, clapped his hands happily, and said sarcastically to Chen Shu with a smile: "Yellow monkey, basketball is our black sport, garbage or get out", and raised the biceps on his arm as if demonstrating.

Chen Shu has played in the NCAA in the United States for so long, although he is angry about this kind of thing, but he does not ignore it, and he controls the ball for half time, at this time, "Ding, the opponent's provocation is detected, and a temporary task is issued: suppress the opponent in assists and scores, and the completion reward: 100 points, 1 attribute point, task punishment: the system will leave the host." Note: Basketball games should have the fighting spirit to win, defeat all the challengers, come on, boy. ”

Chen Shu was shocked in his heart, the punishment was so severe. However, it was soon reflected, competitive sports are very cruel, and if you choose, you have to break the kettle and overcome all difficulties, as a basketball player, you must have a big heart, and Chen Shu has a big heart.

Chen Shu firmly controlled the basketball in his hand, and in the face of Jenkins' single defense, he used his speed to make a feint to break through to the right, and sure enough, Jenkins' speed couldn't keep up, and in the face of the fast Chen Shu, he could only keep up with the right, otherwise he would be overridden by one step. However, Chen Shu pulled back, and the person was already outside the 3-point line, while Jenkins stumbled, although he did not fall, but it was too late to defend. In the surprise of everyone, Chen Shu made a decisive move with 3 points and entered the frame. 3 points scored!

The happiest is Smith, this speed, this hand 3, this decisiveness, there is no problem in the NBA.

The most annoyed are Jenkins and Pierce, one is annoyed that he is played, and the other is annoyed that Jenkins is not angry.

Although the 3-point score is scored, it is still difficult to beat Jenkins in both scoring and assists, it should be because the red team is talented and their blue team is good, and the offensive success rate is also high, and Chen Shu can't prevent Jenkins' breakthrough shot. So you need to think of a way, looking at Jenkins, who has a big waist and a round waist, Secretary Chen is in his heart, and he decides to provoke Jenkins and let him fight with Chen Shu.

First of all, when defending Jenkins, Chen Shu kept stumbling and saying sarcastic things, what "must be because he can't shoot, he only knows the garbage of breaking through passes", what "the stupid guy with developed limbs and can't score" and what "your lips are about to poke me, you chimpanzee." ”

Under the stimulation of Chen Shu, Jenkins finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Come on, let's attack Bibi, you know how to play tricks."

Chen Shu, who achieved his goal, immediately found his teammate Kavala and helped to help defend when Chen Shu's defense was out of position. So Jenkins made consecutive attempts to break through to the mid-range shot, but under the blue team's defense, he shot 0-of-2.

Chen Shu used his speed and shooting ability to shoot another 3-pointer, and used a one-handed straight plug skill guided by a dragon to cooperate with his teammates to play an offense under the basket. At this time, the score of the two teams is 8:0;

By this time, coach Lloyd Pierce's face had already darkened, and he yelled at Jenkins from the sidelines. And Jenkins is not a fool and has already reacted. He knew that he had been fooled, so he shouted to Chen Shu, "Hey, trash, aren't you scoring points?" It's not fair that you're looking for someone to help you defend and you assist." "Hey, I'm on the court now, and besides, I'm also scoring, of course I'm scoring with you, and I'm 6 points, you're still hanging zero. And no one said that you can't find someone to help defend it, right? Chen Shu smiled slyly.

In this way, the blue team relied on Chen Shu's projection and the advantage of increasing the number of hits with one-handed straight plugs, and firmly grasped the advantage on the field, while Jenkins was physically gifted, but after all, he was not very mature, and he played too methodically to control the situation.

At this time, nearly 10 minutes were played, and the score of the blue and red teams also reached 23:16, Chen Shu got 12 points and 4 assists, while Jenkins only got 6 points and 3 assists, and his performance was okay. But he was a little annoyed and angry when he was fully suppressed by Chen Shu, and when Chen Shu shook off Jenkins' 3-point jumper again, Jenkins dragged Chen Shu, who had already jumped, to the ground, fortunately Chen Shu was not injured but fell very painfully. But how can Chen Shu endure it, he has lived in the United States for almost 2 years, and he knows that he can't be weak, he has to be tough to get dignity.

And although Chen Shu is a good student in the eyes of his friends, he is not a good type, and he is brave and ruthless, so he got up and punched Jenkins in the face.

The clash between the two came quickly, and when the reaction came, the two had already met in close quarters, and the players on both sides pulled the two apart. At this time, coach Lloyd Pierce came over angrily and yelled at Chen Shu, "Get out, you don't need impulsive players here, you are not professional enough."

And Chen Shu knew that there was no chance for this trial, so he simply responded, "There is no place to keep a master here, let's see."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task and getting 100 points and 1 attribute, pay attention to checking." Hey, although the trial was unsuccessful, but there are points and attributes, and my heart is still beautiful. I also teased the dream of little Lori in my heart, "Dream come true, I am so happy to hear your pleasant voice!" Little Lori said shyly, "Really, don't blame me for annoying me in the future, hehe." In fact, in Chen Shu's heart, Little Lori's dream is already his best confidant. Occasionally flirt with a little Lori, life is still very comfortable.

Smith didn't say much afterwards, he knew Chen's anger, Jenkins's actions could easily ruin the player's career. But it's nothing, in his opinion, Chen Shu still has a great future.

In this way, the two of them took a short break and took the flight they had scheduled to fly to Chicago, which is 1,100 kilometers away from Philadelphia.
