Chapter 131: The Old Man
The bathroom door filled with water vapor was opened from the inside, and two slender, powerful and muscular legs stepped on the water stains in the bathroom step by step, and a naked man picked up a bath towel and wrapped the important parts and walked out, this man was Sun Yue who had just finished playing a game with the Suns.
Sun Yue, who looked depressed, walked out of the bathroom, and suddenly heard his doorbell ringing, Sun Yue glanced at the cat's eye and hurriedly opened the door.
The smiling Rachel girl walked in with a big bag of things, and Sun Yue asked, "Baby, why are you here today?" ”
"Why, I can't come to see you if it's okay." Rachel feigned anger.
Rachel took out the contents of the big bag, all kinds of snacks, "I know you lost today, you're in a bad mood, you didn't eat at night, hurry, I brought you a lot to eat." ”
The game between the Hawks and Suns just ended, and the two teams were inseparable under the leadership of their respective core guards in the final quarter. Harrington's consecutive single misses, and Marion on the offensive end, directly led to the Hawks' final loss to the Suns by three points.
This made the competitive Sun Yue angry, especially for the first person responsible for the defeat. Harrington held a grudge, but Sun Yue was not the kind of person who was moody and angry, and he didn't show it on the outside, but he was depressed and coped with a few words in the post-game interview, and went home directly without going back to the locker room to take a shower.
The food sent by Rachel just relieved Sun Yue's urgent need for dinner, watching Sun Yue gobble up his food, Rachel hurriedly handed him a bottle of drink, for fear that he would choke on eating too quickly.
"Why did you suddenly come to Atlanta, weren't you in New York?" After eating, Sun Yue hurriedly asked, for fear that Rachel would be stationed in Atlanta for a long time.
"Skipper, don't you know, you're going to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers the night after tomorrow, and you're one of the most outstanding players in the class of 2005 so far. James' meeting became the focus of our TV station, and I was sent to follow the game. Rachel's face was full of glory.
"Is James amazing?" Sun Yue had a disdainful expression, in front of his own woman, he would not show timidity.
"Great, but I don't think he's as good as you." Women always have unlimited confidence in their men.
"Then I'll show you how good I am today." As the saying goes, Sun Yue, who was full of food and drink, immediately rolled over on the bed with Rachel in his arms.
......
The next day, the Eagles were mainly engaged in recovery training before the big game, and Woodson had a lot of ideas for this game. The Cavaliers haven't had a good season either, with only a 2-3 record so far.
And the Cavaliers just had a big game with the Bulls, and in the end, the Cleveland Guys lost to the Chicago Bulls 85-89 at home.
The Cavaliers' game tomorrow will be a back-to-back away game, and the players will definitely have problems with their physical strength, and the Hawks at home will be ready to work.
During training, Sun Yue actually saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time, his college teammate Mark was signed by the Eagles on a ten-day contract.
After chatting with Mark, Sun Yue learned that after Sun Yue signed up for the draft, Mark knew that the Wolverine team without Sun Yue would decline significantly in terms of team strength and attention, Mark is also a very self-aware person, he knows that his talent can be used as an outside assistant, and if he leads the team alone, he will completely expose his average ability to hold the ball and the mediocrity of his independent offensive ability, so Mark also signed up for this year's draft.
But signing up for the draft is not unexpectedly selected, these scouts in the league are not stupid, Mark did not show physical talent above other rookies, and he did not give people a bright feeling in terms of personal data, so in today's draft, Mark was not favored by any league team, and finally became an undrafted rookie.
The Hawks just need an outside defensive striker, and the players in the Hawks lineup have their own shortcomings in defensive periphery. Johnson has plenty of defensive strength but is deficient in agility and footwork.
And the sixth man, Josh. Childis excels in physical attributes such as foot movement and bounce ability, but his thin body makes him a big hit when defending some power perimeter.
As for the two outside benches: Tarron. Lou was too old to keep up, Salim. Stoudamire is too short to be able to do it on the defensive end, and all in all, the Eagles lack a perimeter guard on the perimeter.
As the starting guard of the NCAA championship team, Mark is strong defensively, shoots accurately, executes tactics resolutely, and has a lot of game experience.
Of course, there are many 3-D players like Mark, most of whom can't gain a foothold in the NBA, and Mark doesn't have any advantage compared to them, and the most critical reason why he finally stands out is that he has partnered with Sun Yue, the future core of the team, for a year, and there is a good tacit understanding between the two.
The Eagles' management was keenly aware of Al. Harrington's desire to snatch a spot at the heart of the team was highlighted by the team's general manager, Billy Brown. With Knight's approval, they decisively signed Sun Yue's college teammates.
Under the planning of the Eagles management, this move played a role of killing three birds with one stone, first by signing Sun Yue's college teammates to increase Sun Yue's voice and support in the team's locker room, and in this covert way to support Sun Yue to become the core player of the team.
At the same time, you can also show favor to Sun Yue in this way, after all, the latter is in the El. Harrington's behavior of ignoring the team's victory and defeat and only caring about personal data was very unhappy, and in this way to appease Sun Yue.
Of course, the most important reason is that Mark is a much-needed outside defender for the team, after all, NBA teams can't sign a player who doesn't help the team based on background alone, unless you're the team's head coach's own son.
After chatting with Mark, Sun Yue learned about the whereabouts of his other Wolverine teammates, and in addition to Sun Yue, two college teammates were selected in this year's draft: Ryan. Gomez was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 50th pick in the second round. Taft was drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the 42nd pick in the second round, and the rest of the group either gave up basketball or moved to Europe to continue their basketball dreams.
