"Diao people, do you want to ??? me?"

Sacramento, the center training ground for the Kings team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the end of July 2011, the sun was shining in California, and after a long long grass period, the Kings' vacation was finally over.

Fishing, nightclubs, wild balls, cave walking......

The Kings players had a good holiday, and most of the players took the rare opportunity to relax. Back when the team started to prepare for the training camp, it was somewhat out of shape.

In order to adjust the condition of the players as soon as possible, Westphal arranged an intra-team practice match after three days of recovery practice, just when the full team arrived.

"Stinky and shameless~~~~!"

Seeing Gu Yu who had not been seen for a long time, Yudri, Thompson and others, who had not been seen for a long time, were all smiling.

Although Gu Yu is not the ace of the team, and he is definitely not the spiritual leader of the team, I don't know why, the Kings players just like to stay with him. It seems that as long as you get close to him, that comic and relaxed aura will affect everyone and make everyone happy.

The Kings are still a bad team, they have no capital, and they are not qualified to shout anything about the whole league. With the start of the new season just around the corner, the Kings have also made minor personnel changes.

With no big trades, no eye-popping news, the Kings became the quietest team in the world in this summer when the entire basketball world was a little quieter.

On the free market, there are no big big deals happening, yes, not in the whole league.

The Rockets sent Brad Miller and several draft picks to get Motai Yunas and Jonny Flynn.

The Nuggets sent away Felton and got Andre Miller for the Trail Blazers.

The Mavericks traded a low-pick first-round pick to Rudy Fernandez.

The Kings were also involved in trades, with Cosby being traded away, and the Cavaliers sending jumping man JJ Hickson to make the Kings' interior reserve a few points thicker.

These trades are pretty much all of this summer, and the Kings are doing this for a simple reason:

Thompson has been unable to realize his talent for a long time, and Whiteside seems to be unable to adapt to the NBA-level confrontation for the time being, and after being sent to play for a while, he parted ways peacefully with the Kings and went to China.

Although the Kings team has a potential long man Cousins on the inside, there are still some problems with the overall depth, and if another long man comes out, if he plays it, he will earn it, and if he can't play it, there is no big loss.

Cosby was originally the only trustworthy pitcher for the Kings, but now with Gu Yu and Thorton, the King's outside firepower has been raised to a notch, and Cosby's existence is not so important.

"Be good at the knights and make yourself fatter."

When Cosby left the team, Gu Yu, Cousins, Evans and several other friends went to the airport to say goodbye.

"Ah......? Fattening? What kind of logic is this?? ”

Hearing Gu Yu say this, Casby was very puzzled, looked at Gu Yu and said, "I'm an athlete, how can I get fatter?" What are the benefits? ”

"Of course there are benefits."

Gu Yu solemnly stretched out his hand to put his hand on Casby's shoulder, and said solemnly: "If you are fat, when we meet again in the arena, you were beaten by me, and you can use fat as an excuse in the post-game interview, you won't lose so ugly." ”

“…… You're going to die!! ”

"Hahaha......"

Although it was joking, although it seemed easy on the surface, after laughing and making trouble, when Cosby was about to board the plane, several good brothers still looked at each other speechlessly, and there was a starlight twinkle in their eyes.

"Thank you Omar, my rookie season wouldn't have been as smooth without you. You taught me so much and I will always remember it. If we have the opportunity to play together again, I will definitely pass you lots and lots of comfortable assists. ”

Evans was impressed.

"I went to the Cavaliers, I don't have a strong interior like me to help you grab frontcourt rebounds, you have to take care of yourself!"

Cousins has been completely taken away by Gu Yu......

"Thank you, my first year in the NBA, you are the most important person to me."

Gu Yu spoke, and Casby just wanted to scold habitually, but when he listened carefully, he was stunned, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

I...... Is it the most important person in Gu's mind?

Not Tyrek, not DeMarcus?

The three of them are the iron triangle, the future of the king, I am just a veteran, I have taught him some experience, he actually thinks that I am the most important person?

I'm in Gu's heart...... Does it matter?

It's so fun!

Casby didn't expect Gu Yu to say such warm words, his eyes were almost moist, and he patted Gu Yu's shoulder and said, "I...... I really didn't expect you to think so highly of me! Gu, it's my honor to be teammates with you......!! ”

"Of course you're the most important!"

Gu Yu also nodded solemnly and said, "If you weren't so bad, where would I have a chance to stand out on the bench and work all the way to the best sixth man?" There is no harm if there is no contrast, with your foil, I look so good! ”

I'm @#¥%&......

The last thing Casby left in Sacramento was a mouthful of old blood......

"Alright, it's time for you to board!"

After another hilarious laugh, Gu Yu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!" If you have a chance, let's fight side by side again! ”

"Not only do we have to fight side by side, we also have to play 2K together!"

Cousins added, his big hands waving in the air.

"We'll train together next summer, and you teach me how to shoot, or I'll be laughed at by this guy to death."

Evans, a rebellious child, also smiled lightly and waved his hand.

“…… Who is this person? Yes......?? ”

Gu Yu's demonic voice sounded behind Evans.

“…… Dad, Dad......"

"Hahahahaha......"

With tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips amid barbell-like laughter, Casby boarded his flight to Cleveland.

Goodbye, it's the opponent.

In the blue sky, a white trace swept by, how many stories, how many memories, how many pasts, all with this trajectory, extended to the infinite future.

Not long after, Gu Yu and his friends sent away the silent Haitian Daim Potter.

Business is business, and there is a saying in the NBA.

But sometimes, some people, some things, can exist beyond business.

Gu Yu, along with Cousins, Evans and others, firmly believe this.

In fact, at this point in time, everyone present did not really realize that this farewell did not announce the true direction of the future king.

These three talented troubled kids, each with their own problems, should be the future cornerstone of the Kings.

But after too much of the future happens, everything takes on a new look.

As for the change in the future, that little seed has already happened this summer.

Two of the seeds, buried in Sacramento, were accompanied by the high-ranking Jimmerfredette and the supermini scorer Isaiah Thomas, who arrived in Sacramento, at the foot of the Imperial City.

The other seed, in a less spectacular trade, traveled to San Antonio.

With the 15th pick, the Pacers picked off the silent Big Hand Monster Kawai Leonard, who looked like a black-and-white photo.

The Spurs immediately followed up and sent George Hill, a two-way backcourt guard who was both offensive and defensive, to bring the seed to Zhuge Vic.

In addition to these "petty" deals, the whole summer was quiet and yawned.

Ray Allen, Jordan Jr., Ilgoskas, Duncan, Dragic, Ibaka, Harden......

One by one, the names of the shining stadiums have chosen to stay with the original team and carry out the contract option.

It's just that at this time, people don't realize that there are several names and people among them, and in the near future, new decisions will be made.

And those decisions make up a magnificent future epic.

"Tyrek Evans, Marcus Thornton, Garcia, Thompson, Cousins, you five are RED starters!"

"Yes!"

Back at the center of the team, the intra-squad practice match is about to begin.

"Isaiah Thomas, Fredette, Gu, Dante Green, JJ Hickson, you are the white team starters!"

"Understood!"

"The rest of the players are maneuvering, when the team needs to adjust the substitutions, I will give instructions, be ready to play at any time, pay attention, this is not a drill, this is not a drill!"

Westphall said with a serious face: "Judging from the lineup alone, the red team has more starters, more experience, and relatively superior strength. But I'm going to keep making adjustments and making substitutions depending on the game. Players from the red team can go to the white team at any time, and players from the white team can go to the red team at any time, everything depends on the actual situation. ”

"The technical and tactical requirements are very simple, two words - bombardment!"

As he spoke, the old coach looked at the players of the white team: "You are relatively small, and the whole is a super small lineup." And you're probably going to be the main substitute rotation for the new season, so you're going to have to get to know each other as soon as possible and find a sense of togetherness as soon as possible, understand? ”

“GOT-IT-SIR――！！”

The white team shouted in unison, it will be very difficult to win, but this confrontation with the main players is obviously the best way to improve them.

Isaiah Thomas and Fredette are both in their first year of their careers and have yet to play a single official game.

Gu Yu's second year, although he was already the best sixth man, he was also a rookie.

Dante Green and Hickson are both men with 10,000-year potential, and they have not made great progress after many years, compared to Cousins and others with infinite potential, there is a big gap.

But because it's hard, it's fun, isn't it?

Gu Yu geared up, ready to meet his final test.

"Bench rotation? Hit the sixth man again? ”

Standing on the court and preparing to start the game, Gu Yu had an extremely strong thought in his heart.

"The best sixth man is here, and I don't have much to prove myself in the sixth man position. Now ......"

"Whew......!"

The basketball is thrown into the air and the two sides jump over the ball.

“…… I'm going to be a starter......!!! ”
