Chapter 180: Media Day
"The Basketball Herald?"
Yang Di raised his head suspiciously, he hadn't heard of this newspaper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, Director Cai Nan was invited to become a columnist for the newly founded "Basketball Herald", which was just founded yesterday, and he should be regarded as a commentator in the United States."
Tang Xinran said slowly, and talked to Yang Di about Cai Nan.
"This guy is amazing, I haven't seen him for a long time, I didn't expect him to become so famous and connected so quickly." Yang Di nodded, happy for Cai Nan's promotion.
Tang Xinran glanced at Yang Di, thinking to himself The reason for Cai Nan's rise Don't you know, this guy is still the first person in China to have an in-depth understanding of Yang Di.
"By the way, let's talk about this year's outlook!" Tang Xinran took out a pen and paper and asked Yang Di.
Yang Di said with a smile: "Looking forward, personally, I hope to stay healthy, play a full season, and then continue to improve my skills, and have stable playing time and performance." For the team, of course, it's the championship, and there is no player who doesn't want the championship, and when he plays, the goal is to fight for the first place. ”
"Championship?" Tang Xinran couldn't help asking, "Will it be too ......?"
"Arrogant?" Yang Di looked at her with a smile.
"That's what you said, I didn't say that." Tang gladly glanced at him.
"Perhaps, in short, my goal is this, the ideal must be there, what if it is realized?"
Yang Di and Tang Xinran sat on the sidelines of the bench and chatted, which was equivalent to opening a small stove for her, which made many media such as "Yahoo" and "Sina" very unhappy, and they speculated about the relationship between Tang Xinran and Yang Di, and some people even saw Tang Xinran beautifully and maliciously speculated whether the relationship between the two was illegitimate, anyway, Yang Di has always had a lot of scandals, and it is estimated that he is not a good bird.
After the media interview, the training hall welcomed two people, one in a crisp suit and the other in a casual tracksuit.
"The head coach and the general manager are here."
The players in training uniforms gathered around, and so did Yang Di, the whole Warriors, he didn't know anyone, he stood there very quietly, listening to other people who knew each other.
"I'm your head coach, Mike Montgomery."
Mike Montgomery, who has gray hair and looks not young, with a warm smile on his face and a polite appearance, continued to the players: "Maybe many of you don't know me because I was a former player coach at Stanford University and it's nice to meet you. ”
The players applauded.
General manager Chris Dawson swept his gaze over each player, and then fixed on Yang Di, who was standing there, and Yang Di also saw him, and the two looked at each other, then nodded in greeting.
Montgomery continued: "Some of you are rookies who have just entered the league and have not played a game, some are young players who have played one or two seasons, and some are veterans who have been in the league for a long time. ”
Montgomery's speech was brief, and then the crowd dispersed, there was no training match today, only some routine physical tests.
Yang Di walked back to the half-court, and someone suddenly slapped him behind him.
"Hey, meteorite belt!"
Yang Di was slightly stunned, and when he turned his head, Derek Fisher greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Derek."
Yang Di reacted immediately and said hello to Fisher, who had played against Fisher twice last season, although he hadn't spoken before, so he was familiar.
"I didn't expect to end up being teammates with you." The 30-year-old Fisher signed a long-term contract with the Warriors, thinking that his career could end in Oakland, and when he saw Youngdy, who had made a big splash in Los Angeles last season, he was immediately embarrassed when he thought of the Lakers battleship that fell apart this summer.
"The Warriors are good, I kind of like Oakland." Yang Di said with a smile that the fans here are much better than the Heat.
"That's right, you see, the Auckland Arena is also newly renovated and can accommodate more spectators, and I'm looking forward to working with you in the new season." Lao Yu Fisher expressed his kindness in a timely manner, which made Yang Di quickly have a good impression of him, and the two of them talked and laughed.
"Jason Richardson is here." Fisher smiled and pointed, and sure enough, a lean man with dark skin walked over.
"Hmm, hello Yang Di." Richardson stretched out his big hand and smiled in front of Yang Di, his teeth were particularly white because of his dark skin.
"Hello, Jason." Yang Di nodded, Richardson was the Warriors' team scoring champion last season, and he was only 23 years old this year, and he took the initiative to come up and greet him, making him feel that he didn't seem to have any fight.
"You had beautiful dunks and blocks a couple of times last season, and I remember it very well, like the one that covered Carter's dunk, which was awesome." Richardson helped Yang Di blow a wave first, which made Yang Di a little fluttery.
"In the new season, we will partner in blocking and dismantling, taking turns to impact the inside, and the scene will definitely be very good."
"Haha, I'm looking forward to this kind of picture, which makes me want to pass and catch the ball now." Fisher, who was on the side, laughed and said jokingly.
"Does the Warrior have an empty catch, that sounds really good." Yang Di said.
In fact, Fisher, Richardson and Yang Di have no position conflict, of course, they took the initiative to come up and make friends, and several other inside players did not come up to talk to Yang Di, and Yang Di didn't bother to take the initiative to post it, at the end of the media day, he left the contact information of Fisher, Richardson and Dunleavy Jr., and then made the simplest body side and then ended.
"The fat content is 9.1 percent, which is not bad." The trainer nodded, the fat content of basketball players is generally between 5 percent and 10 percent, especially lower, more than 10 percent is slightly exceeded, but some players in special positions, such as centers and the like, can also be understood, if it is more than 15 percent, it basically means that it is not qualified, and the player must be too indulgent in the summer.
In the evening, the team had their first dinner, and Yang Di got to know some of the team's assistant coaches and trainers, all of whom were colleagues who would often work together in the future.
Then the next day, the rest of the team began to take a detailed fitness test.
With the help of his trainer, Yang Di is practicing at a slightly slower pace than others, and the new season is coming.......
