Since July, the weather in California has gradually become hotter, especially in the central part of California, where Sacramento is located, and the temperature has been above 37 degrees Celsius for more than ten consecutive days.

In the heat, many people stay at home to blow air conditioners, and of course, there are many more people who like to do some water sports in such weather, and the city of Sa, which is close to the Sacramento River, is naturally indispensable for people playing in the water under the scorching sun.

Vacations, heat, pools, and of course, bold bikini-clad beauties are the summer months when the casual nature of North American people is stimulated, and no one wants to continue working at this time of year.

But for newcomers to the Sacramento Kings, they don't expect much of a laid-back vacation.

The holiday is a luxury for these young people whose NBA careers are not going well, they have all had a long period of low points before, they are not favored, they are not valued by the team, and some people even fire him with their agents, so to speak, this is a group of young people whose careers are about to expire.

Wang Lei's choice is indeed incomprehensible to most people, and many reporters and commentators are speculating about the intentions of the new head coach of the Kings to find so many ordinary young people.

Of course, in fact, these young people who have been traded or traded to the Kings themselves have this idea, and they don't feel that they have anything to stand out from.

However, Wang Lei was sighing in private, he lamented that there are so many talents in North America, and the underlying foundation of basketball is so strong, which has to make Wang Lei sigh, he casually looked in the league, and found many buried players, these players may not be surprising under the current basketball system, but in Wang Lei's eyes, they are all unpolished diamond roughs, after his Wang Lei's carving, these young people will exude dazzling light in the future.

In order to establish the team's operating system as soon as possible, Wang Lei let all the players come to Saata City, he needs to let these young people understand and familiarize themselves with their tactical system as soon as possible, and at the same time let the players gradually adapt to the new environment and new style of play.

Wang Lei cleared all the unfavorable factors in the previous Kings team through a series of trades, leaving only Blair? Bowman and two veterans who are experienced but don't have much to think about, Rassad? Quint and Moat? Bruce, Blair is 29 years old this year and is in his prime, while the 36-year-old Rashad and the 37-year-old Moat are both players with veteran base salaries, and Wang Lei's purpose in keeping them is to initially stabilize the environment in the locker room.

In addition to these three, the other 12 members of the team's 15-man roster were traded in the post-draft trade period, including Turgon, who has just finished his rookie season, and Sallihi, a handsome man who has been in the mix for four years? Rostorivich.

However, the most media attention of these 12 is Erwin, who was selected by the Kings with the No. 4 pick in the previous draft? Butler, a young man who was almost as ordinary as the other twelve guys, became famous because of this draft, but the reason why Erwin became famous was because after the draft, the famous North American basketball commentator Vincent? Stefan asserted that Erwin? Butler will be the first rookie to leave the NBA.

In this regard, the Kings and the Saskatchewan media are collectively silent, the Kings are silent because Wang Lei disdains to respond to these commentators who praise and step on the low, while the silence of the Sachsa media is more in schadenfreude, they just want to quietly watch the new Oriental head coach of the Kings die by himself.

For giving up the vacation to return to the team for training, the current Kings team does not have much opinion, after all, this is almost a brand new team, if you want to rely on such a lineup to play the new season, you must carry out strict training and running-in, and Wang Lei chooses people who seem to be ordinary but have a positive heart, they are not willing to be ordinary, and they also hope that they can succeed in the Kings team.

After the players were assembled, Wang Lei began his usual first training - physical fitness.

When the newcomers and veterans of the Kings team saw this outdoor training ground covered with a thick layer of fine sand, in addition to lamenting the new owner's money, they also had some curiosity about the new head coach.

Yes, after having the right conditions, Wang Lei's first training was full of generosity and creativity.

The standard 400-meter track is covered with a layer of 30 centimeters of fine sand, and the Kings players have to train on the field for more than two hours a day, including running training and some lateral movement training.

There is also a standard beach volleyball field in the middle of the field, which is also covered with fine sand, which is used by the players to relax after the physical training.

"What is basketball? The most basic answer is to throw the ball into the basket, but on top of that, the most basic movements of the players come from your own feet, you can shoot very accurately, you can be powerful, but you can't run, then it's all empty talk, so the first thing we train is to get you to learn to run again. ”

Wang Lei's words made many players dumbfounded, and they didn't feel that they couldn't even run.

"Maybe you know me before you came, I used to be a volleyball coach, and I found that among the players of my opponent Brazil women's volleyball team, their players are very flexible in foot movement, and I have preliminary statistics, they rarely have ankle injuries, why is that? Later I learned that many of these players have played beach volleyball for a long time, and their ankle pressure capacity is much stronger than the average person, so now the field is covered with sand, what you need to do is to adapt to this kind of field as soon as possible, and at the same time practice physical fitness, I can assure you that in the future, our team's tactical play is absolutely based on physical fitness, and any player who is not physically fit will not be favored by me, so please cherish the training in the next period. ”

There isn't much opposition from the Kings to a new way of training, after all, the team's captain, Tony Blair? Bowman has seriously devoted himself to training, so there is no reason for others to confront Wang Lei.

But then, when the new players were ready to accept the new coach's new tactics, Wang Lei left suddenly, and the reason was not offensive, because his wife Ma Dongmei was about to give birth.
