"This year's pre-season is different from previous years. In addition to seven games against other NBA teams, we will also fly to China to play a preseason game against the Chinese Suzhou Provincial Professional Team. ”

In the FedEx Arena, as the team's new coach, Hollins is talking about the team's upcoming preseason schedule.

This year's Grizzlies are in a rebuilding period, not only with a new head coach, but also with a big change to the original roster. Not only is the cornerstone of the team, Paul. Gasol was traded and later took over as core Rudy. Guy, as well as many old players, were also cleaned up. Today, the Grizzlies' starting five in the summer league account for one-third of the Grizzlies' roster. Suffice it to say, the Grizzlies are now a new army.

The run-in problem of this new team has given the new head coach Hollins a bit of a headache. But fortunately, although the Grizzlies are in full swing, they have not dragged their feet in the establishment of the team's core. On the contrary, it was very decisive to establish Ding Mo'an as the cornerstone of the Grizzlies' future team.

Hollins couldn't help but look at Ding Mo'an in the queue, because this was the key to whether this new army could quickly become stronger. However, Hollins still trusts Ding Mo'an's strength. Although he didn't lead the team in the summer league, he learned from assistant coach Jonny. Davis's praise and the data that surpasses the geniuses of the same year, Ding Mo'an's strength is naturally not doubtful.

The rest is how he, as a manager, uses Chris. Wallace prepared a menu for him, and went to cook a good dish. And after Hollins announced the preseason schedule, he asked the assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach to lead the team to start the pre-season tests. One of the tests is more about the physical fitness of the players.

Even though the number of new players on the Grizzlies now reaches one-third, more than half of the players are still on vacation. So how much physical strength do you have after two months of playing? Anyway, Hollins doesn't believe that the players of the second-to-last team in the league last season have good professionalism and self-control.

And the results of the physical fitness test after that were not as bad as Hollins expected, so bad that Hollins, who was already a little bald, didn't know how much hair he would lose when he went home tonight. In this most ordinary physical fitness test, the new team members did not have any problems and passed the test easily. But half of the ten veteran players were unqualified.

Hollins is also angry, and immediately the new official took office with three fires, and he didn't give these guys any face, waved his hand, and all went to practice physical fitness, and after a week, whoever was not physically fit didn't have to play the preseason game. These players who have not been physically fit do not dare to make a head bird and train honestly when the new coach is on fire.

When Hollins was furious and taught the veteran players a lesson, Ding Moan was somewhat absent-mindedly practicing mid-range shooting with defender interference. This is Ding Mo'an's current main training in addition to weight gain training. In the NCAA finals, Ding Mo'an, who had suffered this loss, naturally didn't want it to be staged a second time.

The reason why Ding Mo's peace of mind is not clear is that Hollins said earlier that the Grizzlies had a game going to China and played a preseason game against the Suzhou Provincial Professional Team, and the peace of mind was broken. For a long time, Ding Mo'an has been unable to forget the scene when he left in despair, and even his own dreams were on the verge of being broken.

Ding Mo'an still remembers what he said on the plane: Wang Kai, Wang Yuan, Wang Xiang, today you let me leave gloomily, and I will pay it back ten times the other day!

But now, these three culprits have long been lost in the professional team of Suzhou Province, and even the whole Chinese basketball world has no trace of them. The revenge was avenged, and Ding Mo'an didn't know what kind of emotion to face the Soviet Provincial Professional Team.

You must know that now the professional team of the Soviet Province is regretted because of itself. Especially Coach Hu Weidong, who is familiar with him, when he returned to the professional team of Suzhou Province, the first thing he did was to scold himself as the head coach of the youth team and the general manager who expelled him from the team at that time.

And Ding Mo'an, who was once an unknown and unknown youth team player, has now become the most popular Chinese genius in addition to Yao Ming. In particular, all the achievements of Ding Mo'an in the United States can despise most of the current men's national basketball team!

NCAA champions, MOPs, and finally in the draft, became a tanhua show, and entered the NBA with the order that gave birth to countless guard legends.

Ding Mo'an's basketball career has become synonymous with legend and inspiration. At the same time, after learning that Ding Mo'an entered the NBA, CCTV5 bought the broadcast rights of the Grizzlies from the NBA in a big way. Stern grinned widely, this is a sign of the expansion of the NBA in the Chinese market!

It's not just David. Stern grinned, Grizzly Bear owner Michael. Haesley was happier than him. Since the selection of Ding Mo'an, the most popular super genius in China, Chinese manufacturers have also smelled business opportunities, and countless Chinese manufacturers have begun to consult the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' home stadium, and the advertising fee of the FedEx Arena.

Michael. Haisley is also feeling the wonderful taste of Rocket boss Alexander at this moment. After all, it is really not a loss to choose a Chinese player who can not only become the cornerstone of the team's building but also bring a lot of benefits to the team! Looking at Yao Ming, after six years of NBA experience, he has become a top3-level center in the league today, and it is conceivable that Ding Mo'an, who came into contact with the American basketball style earlier than Yao Ming, will have some achievements!

And this time CCTV5 took the initiative to find the opportunity to come to the door, and also made David. Stern was determined to advance the progress of the NBA's market in China. Because of this, the Grizzlies will become the first team to play a Chinese game in the NBA! The reason why David. Stern didn't have any other NBA team scheduled to play against the Grizzlies.

Of course, it is to know the past of Ding Mo'an and the professional team of Suzhou Province, and facing the old master will always be the eternal heat in the sports world. As for the Soviet Provincial Professional Team, I really want to refuse, after all, it will be embarrassing then. But the Basketball Association's masters, the BA team came to play against the CBA team, whether it was a preseason game or anything, this is a political achievement!

Coming to play against the CBA team doesn't mean that your gang is well managed, so that the NBA, the top league, is willing to play with you, isn't this an acknowledgment of your strength. So the professional team of Suzhou Province couldn't escape, and they didn't dare to offend the Basketball Association, so they could only agree to it.

And on the training ground, Ding Mo'an was absent-minded, and he was also defended by Kevin, who became another friend of Ding Mo'an. Lefu found out and said with concern: "Ding, what's wrong with you?" Didn't Coach Hollins just say that he was going to your home country to play preseason, aren't you excited? It is a very honorable thing to play under the watchful eyes of your compatriots in your homeland. ”

"Yes, but that game, more for me, was probably a farewell."
