2013, mid-July.

Sacramento.

"Knock knock!"

Who is it......??

In the center of the Sacramento Kings team, in the security booth, the security guard on duty that day was dozing off in a daze. Suddenly a sharp knock on the door woke him up, making him very unhappy.

Finally, in the summer of this year, due to the team's new owner, new manager, and busy with various signing transactions, the team center has lost the lively scene of the past few years, and it is quite clean.

Previously, as part of the NBA-care program, many teams' team centers were semi-open during offseasons when players could not come to practice. As long as there is a suitable appointment, some clubs, basketball fan groups, visiting groups, etc., will be received by the team center and can go in for a visit.

Although compared to the team's actual stadium, the center of the team does not seem to be that attractive.

But first, there are many local basketball fan groups or small player teams and other organizations, it is not difficult to watch the game on the spot, and the stadium is not very attractive to them. On the contrary, it is the center of the team, and there is a hint of mystery of "behind-the-scenes organization", which is more interesting.

Second, some serious true fans who understand football emperors will not be satisfied with the simple activity of watching the game live. Having the opportunity to take a look at the center of the team and see what kind of field their favorite stars usually train and live on, which can satisfy their strong curiosity.

So in previous years, the team center was always bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of groups who came to visit. With it, the team needs to leave a lot of staff to be responsible for the reception. The security guard at the door naturally couldn't have any time to nap and rest.

This year is different, with the new owners moving one after another, from managers to coaches to players, almost completely changing the entire team. In this case, the team simply does not have the extra manpower and material resources to receive any groups, and there are quite few visits and appointments from the outside world.

Our security guard can finally have a quiet, no children's noise, the dog's legs behind the leaders, and the fans' various "Where is my cousin?!! The shouts of the summer.

With the air conditioner on and a nap, what could be more pleasant than this kind of work?

And this comfort was interrupted by this knock on the door, and the security guard brother was not happy on the spot.

"Who......?!"

Before he raised his head, the security guard yelled first, he clearly remembered that there was no reception task at all today, and he came here to sit by himself, just to prevent some emergencies, and there would be no work.

I don't know which one is not long-eyed, but he actually knocked on the door when he was napping, isn't this looking for scolding??

"Knock knock knock!!"

Who knows, the security guard's voice not only failed to make the people at the door stop, but the knock on the door became more manic and arrogant.

"......!" The security guard couldn't help but scold, did this person at the door eat gunpowder or what, where did he get so angry? ?

"Wait a minute!" Slowly getting up and stretching his body, the security guard just wanted to yawn.

"Knock knock !!"

Crazy?!!

"Damn, don't cure you, you don't know what your last name is!" Standing up scolding, the security guard frowned, stretched out his hand to open the door with an unhappy face, and scolded in his mouth: "The venue is not open today, you are not allowed to take pictures inside, you can't visit, I won't open the door for you no matter how much money I give...... Ah, Russell!! ”

“…… Why is it so slow??? ”

Standing at the door, waiting for the security guard with more vicious eyes, it was none other than him.

It was Russell Westbrook, the backcourt All-Star point guard who was sent from the Thunder to the Kings in a three-way trade just at the beginning of the month.

"That and that...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming today......"

"Where's the training ground??" Without waiting for the security guard to finish explaining, the upright Wei Shao didn't care too much, and looked inside with a frown: "Where is the locker room?" I mean player-only! ”

"You go inside, go straight for about 50 meters, then turn right, turn left at the third opening, go in another 30 meters, and you'll be in the dressing room. Walk through the locker room and go directly to the training ground, which is just east of the training ground......"

"Well, I see!" Again, the security guard still didn't finish speaking, and Wei Shao rushed in striding in with the bag on his back.

…… Sigh!

Seeing Wei Shao's back walking away, the security guard man breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy feels even more horizontal than his cousin!

My cousin is giggling with us ordinary staff, but he doesn't have a good face for all kinds of leaders, and he can be regarded as a good emperor who enjoys with the people.

Is this Wei Shao...... is more rushed than his cousin, but he is also the same, and it is said that he has such an attitude towards the leadership and management, and he is straightforward, and he was not born a good stubble.

"It's this dressing taste, it's really unique...... "Wei Shao's big flower shirt, coupled with beach shorts, is really a little too much for the security guard to appreciate.

Alas, forget it, none of these things have anything to do with me, they can do whatever they like, and when he goes in, there are surprises waiting for him!

"Speaking of which, this is the fifth one to come today...... "The security guard shrugged his shoulders and just wanted to sit down and sleep.

“…… Knock knock! ”

There was a quick knock on the door, and it rang again.

"Assi...... "Take a nap, why is it so difficult!"

The security guard dude really wants to.

On the other side, access to the locker room.

“…… It should be here. Looking at the Kings logo in front of him, Wei Shao stopped at the door of the locker room, took a deep breath, and reached out to push the door open.

Coming to the new team so early, Wei Shao was not in a hurry to report, but there were two things that made him very dissatisfied.

First, of course, it was traded by the Thunder. Although the chips the Thunder got were simply first-class, if Wei Shao was the manager himself, he would happily agree to the deal.

But the team that was regarded as his home was traded like this, and the unhappiness in Wei Shao's heart was still obvious.

And at that time, it seemed that the Kings were simply destroying the Great Wall, not wanting the future, not the record, not wanting anything, and it felt as if it was ready to start rotting. Being traded to such a team that has no confidence at all, it is difficult for Wei Shao to accept the changes.

The second point is about the Kings.

Lanadivi and Divac have met with Wei a few times, and their sincerity is very strong. But the new coach Phil Jackson and the players of the team just texted each other with Wei Shao to express their welcome, and they didn't even make a phone call, and Wei Shao didn't feel taken seriously at all.

What's more, Gu Yu, the current ace star cousin of the Kings, didn't even send a text message to Wei Shao. Even if Wei Shao knew, it was very likely that this was because Gu Yu didn't have his own phone number, and according to Gu Yu's character, it was unlikely that he would go out of his way to find someone to ask for a number to send such a text message. But this feeling is really unpleasant, as if Gu Yu is going to play with himself before he arrives at the new team, which makes people feel ignored from the bottom of their hearts.

Wei Shao can certainly understand it, suddenly losing so many old teammates, and most of the team has changed people, it must be uncomfortable, Gu Yu is probably also doing psychological construction.

But you're also the king's ace star, so you should always have the awareness to welcome new teammates, right?

Therefore, Wei Shao couldn't stay at home more and more, so he packed his bags in his last breath and simply came to the center of the team at this time.

Hard.

No matter what the situation is in the new season and how serious the infighting will be, I must train hard all summer!

Secretly making up his mind in his heart, Wei Shao decided that this summer, he must directly rush to the ranks of first-line stars and façade players. The most ideal state is to simply raise his strength to the same level as Gu Yu, or even surpass Gu Yu.

In this way, in the new season, there is no need to think about what to cooperate with.

Because Wei Shao himself, he will become the new boss of the team!

"See if I don't kill you......!"

The anger burning in his chest was blazing, and Wei Shao had already begun to imagine the scene of himself parachuting into the king's new boss.

At this time, all the players are resting and adjusting, and I will start to practice hard now, and when everyone gathers in a month, I will give you a dismount!

What Gu Yu, what George, they are all scum! Lao Tzu is not convinced!

I, Westbrook, am the future core of the Kings!

"Bang!"

Almost slammed the door open with his fist, Wei Shao was ready to enjoy this summer training ground that was destined to be full of iron and blood.

The scene in front of him made Wei Shao stunned, and he couldn't find his chin on the spot.

"This ...... This ......?! ”

I saw that in the dressing room, there were obviously three cabinets in use, casual clothes, backpacks and other things have been arranged, judging from the dust, these three cabinets have been used for at least several days.

"Who?! What the hell is so crazy?! ”

Wei Shao didn't expect that someone would come earlier than him, and it was several days earlier!

Is there so many people who like to practice hard in this brand new Kings team? Not really!

"Bang bang bang...... Call! ”

With doubts and curiosity, Wei Shao changed his jersey and shoes, pushed the door and walked to the training ground, and before he entered the door, he had already heard the sound of a basketball hitting the floor.

Moreover, more than one.

"Squeak" pushed open the door, and there were a total of three figures in front of Wei Shao's eyes.

“…… Swish! ”

“YES……！”

Stop the investment in the emergency and enter the network steadily.

Paul George clenched his fists fiercely and shouted softly, his expression was extremely serious: "Five hundred balls, complete ......!" ”

"Squeak! Squeak squeak! ”

On the other side, Dream Green kept running back and forth in the half-court, mixed with some sudden stop lateral movements from time to time, as if he was simulating the scene of defending the fast attack, sweating like rain.

"Bang!"

Andrew Bynum turned around to find his feet under the basket, and his hands were brutal in the frame, and it was obvious that his physical condition had returned to a pretty good state.

How long have these guys been practicing like this......???

Wei Shao couldn't believe his eyes, if he didn't say anything else, just talk about the intensity and concentration of practice, Wei Shao can be regarded as one of the more ruthless people in the alliance to himself. But in front of him, there are at least three people who are more ruthless than themselves.

Is this Kings a problem children's legion or a fight club?!

"Bang!"

Just when Wei Shao was dumbfounded, the door behind him was pushed open by a person again.
