Chapter 32: Pre-Season Training

"Go back to the dressing room first, change into training clothes, pennies, take the new players to their cabinets, by the way, let them pick their numbers, and then let them know each other." Although Brian Hill looks very stern, when he speaks, he makes people feel very gentle.

Jonny breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly followed the group to the locker room, and then found his cupboard under the leadership of Anfernee Hardaway. And the choice of number is a little annoying, Jonny said a few numbers, but they were all vetoed by Anfernee Hardaway, most of them because this number was worn.

"Aren't these numbers good?" Jonny's eyes widened as he looked at Anfernee Hardaway.

"Of course, of course not, I wore the No. 1 shirt," Hardaway immediately explained.

Jonny was impatient, and he casually interrupted Hardaway: "What jersey does Jordan wear?" I wore the same thing as him. ”

"Number 23." Anfernee Hardaway was stunned. "But this jersey was also selected just now, well, it's that guy, the new Gerard Wilkins."

"Damn! Then I'll wear number 24, I'm one size older than Jordan! Jonny was helpless, he finally thought of a good number, but he was a step slower, Jonny thought about it again, and finally said regardless of it.

Anfernee Hardaway looked at Johnny with a strange look, and then nodded: "Yes, no one has worn this number yet." Then, I made a note of the number and went to the other players.

Soon, the problem of the number of the new players was solved by Anfernee Hardaway, the captain, and then, when the players changed into training uniforms, he began to introduce the players in the team, although most of them still know, but the newcomers don't know, such as Jonny, in this team, except for Anfernee Hardaway, and Darryl Armstrong and other summer league teammates, he doesn't know any others.

Since the introduction of himself, pennies needless to say, this player who was the pride of the sky as soon as he entered the magic in 93, as long as he came to the Magic, he would know him, and even Jonny met pennies because of a chance heads-up.

And then the first to introduce himself was Denis Scott, the 90-year-old No. 4 pick has been a player of the Magic since the beginning, and has been with the Magic for 6 years, and Denis Scott is also the captain of the real meaning of the Magic, although his name is only the vice captain, but in the locker room, his words are more effective than Anfernee Hardaway.

Then, a black man about the same height as Jonny stood up: "My name is Nick Anderson, and I'm the team's starting point guard. ”

Starting point guard? When Jonny heard this word, he instantly became serious, he is also a shooting guard, which means that this Nick Anderson will be his rival.

Then the big man Horris Grant, the starting interior of the Bulls' former three-time crown, is now also the starting power forward of the Magic. And Ronny Secali, who was introduced as a replacement for the Sharks this year, averaged 12 points and 8 boards per game in the Warriors last season, although the strength is good, but compared to the Sharks, it is far worse.

Brian Shaw, a member of the Lakers' championship roster, is now a superbench on the Magic's roster. And Gerald Wilkins, who just snatched the No. 23 jersey ahead of Jonny, is also a player who has just joined the team this season, before he served as a substitute in the Grizzlies due to injury, however, Gerald Wilkins has a big heart, he feels that he has no injury and can become a starter.

He, like Jonny, stared at Nick Anderson, he is also a shooting guard, and he, like Jonny, also wants to compete for the starter, but he doesn't take Jonny to heart at all, just looks at Nick Anderson.

And Darryl Armstrong, who played with Jonny in the summer league, was the Magic's soy sauce point guard backup last season. And like Brian Evans, Amar McCasgill, and Jonny, the three rookies of the Magic this year did not attract the attention of their teammates at all when they introduced themselves, even if Anfernee Hardaway was very close to Jonny, they did not let these teammates notice Jonny.

It seems a little strange, especially when Anfernee Hardaway says, "Jonny is great, I think this season, he will be our biggest helper to regain the championship!" Such words were said by Anfernee Hardaway, which only slightly surprised a group of newcomers, and those veterans of magic did not even raise their eyelids.

Jonny has a good memory and he quickly familiarized himself with his 14 team-mates, while Ricky Adrubatu also came in urging the players to get out, and Bryan Hill was waiting on the pitch.

Soon, as the players stood in a row, Brian Hill began to talk about the pre-season training camp: "This season's pre-season training camp started today, I think, since you are here on this team, you have to abide by all the rules in this team, the team's goal this season, without a doubt, is to win the championship, I think, any team with pennies, will say that"

Brian Hill's pre-season training remarks made Jonny a little speechless, and it was summed up in three sentences: "You have to be obedient, your boss Anfernee Hardaway is very bullish, and then we will start training." That's right, these are the three sentences, Brian Hill spoke for an hour, and Jonny maliciously guessed that if Brian Hill went to write a novel, his novel would be an unprecedented big water.

In the end, Brian Hill finally arranged the afternoon task, and with 2 hours left until 6 o'clock, Brian Hill arranged two intra-team matchups and let all the players play.

Jonny played in the first game, I don't know if it was to practice for the main team first or what it meant, the players on Jonny's team are all rookies this year, or rookies from the previous two years. The point guard is Darryl Armstrong, which makes Jonny very satisfied, and Jonny is still very optimistic about Darryl Armstrong's strength. The small forward is naturally Brian Evans, the power forward is David Vaughn, and the center is Amar McCasks Gill.

And their opponent is the main force of the Magic team now, the point guard is naturally Anfernee Hardaway, the scoring guard is Nick Anderson, the small forward is Denis Scott, the power forward is Horris Grant, and the center is Ronny Secali.

Before the start of the match, Darryl Armstrong was very excited, and he faced Anfernee Hardaway without stage fright. In comparison, Brian Evans and Amar McCaulshgill are a bit shrunken, and it seems that when they meet star players in the NBA, they are a little difficult to start.

But Jonny, unlike the other four, jumped very noticeably, and seemed to be a little eager to try.

But soon Jonny couldn't jump out, because this intra-team confrontation was not for them to play freely, but under Brian Hill's constant yelling, it had to be a tactic, which made Jonny very depressed, especially, in this set of tactics, he actually became a fixed-point shooter, which made Jonny a little unacceptable.

"Did that old guy watch my high school videos?" Jonny couldn't help but guess, and with such a distraction, he was warned by Brian Hill again. However, Jonny's guess is very correct, in fact, Brian Hill did just watch the video materials of Jonny in high school, and then take it for granted that Jonny is just a three-point shooter.

In particular, in many videos, Brian Hill was also very dissatisfied with John Gabriel, who chose Jonny, because he felt that with the ability shown by Jonny in the video, he was absolutely not worthy of the NBA, so poor Jonny didn't know that from the beginning, Brian Hill didn't think Jonny was an NBA-level player.

Quiet update, the big guy has anything to smash over, I will definitely add more if the results are good
