Chapter 7: Summer League (1)

The next day, Huang Jun wore a suit and attended a press conference with Jason Williams and Asik, this is the first time Huang Jun has faced a large group of media, I don't know if he will have stage fright?

Huang Jun showed everyone the number of the jersey he will wear in the new season, number three. It's his favorite number.

Asik originally wanted to wear No. 3, but Huang Jun wanted to wear No. 3, so he changed it to twelve, and one plus two together is just equal to three, which is what it means.

Jason Williams opted for the number 55 jersey, the same number as it did when he was with the Heat.

Afterwards, they attended the press conference and prepared to be interviewed by reporters.

Reporter 1 said, "Huang, are you very surprised that you were selected with such a high second pick in the first round?" ”

Huang Jun didn't think about it, and said, "It's really unexpected, I didn't dare to imagine that I would be selected in the second pick, which is a very affirmation of my strength, so I'm very happy, the Cavaliers are a great team, and it's my honor to play for this team." There are some things that Huang Jun still knows what to say.

Reporter 2, "Do you need a lot of the ball in your hands?" And how to coexist with James? "Before the start of the new season, reporters began to sow discord, and this is what reporters specialize in, and if there is a little hope, it will definitely get to the bottom of it.

"Hehehe, I guess it's too early to worry about this, right? I'm sure James and I can have a good chemistry, I'm a point guard, and I don't need to explain what point guard means to you, right? Huang Jun retorted to the reporter mercilessly, saying that he would not tolerate a reporter who had the intention of sowing discord, even if he offended the reporter.

Reporter 2 is very embarrassed, he dares to be angry in his heart, he is just a small reporter, and he can't be compared with reporters in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, so he can only swallow it helplessly.

A reporter from Los Angeles asked, "Our Lakers have also selected a Chinese guard, plus we will sign Sun Yue this season, so we have two Chinese guards, what will you do when you face them on the court for the first time?" Or how do you feel about it? ”

"How to say it, I can only describe it as strange, and I wish myself and the other party can have an excellent performance in the arena, of course, I haven't encountered this situation yet, I don't know how to reply to you when I experience it, please allow me to reply to you next time" Huang Jun said with a smile.

The media reporter from Los Angeles instantly had a good impression of Huang Jun, although he was not interested in Knight James, but this still did not affect the good impression that Huang Jun brought him.

A New York media reporter said, "What do you think of Jason Williams?" And this year's rookie Asik,"

"Jason is a master of passing and I hope I can learn from him and I'm sure he'll be a great help to the Cavaliers, injuries have ruined him, but I'm sure he'll get back on his feet. As for the newcomer Asik, I believe he can also help us a lot, even though we haven't played together yet, but I still believe it," Huang Jun said.

After that, Huang Jun answered all the reporters' questions one by one, although this was the first time to sit on the stage to accept an interview with the media, but Huang Jun really didn't feel stage fright at all.

When Jason was asked how to watch this year's No. 2 show, his answer was very simple.

"The Eye Show is a testament to his extraordinary, and I believe in the Knights' vision. He's going to be an important member of the Cavaliers second only to James, and he's just mentioned that he wants to learn my passing, and I'm more than happy to teach him that you're going to see a rising star, so let's wait and see. Jason answered the question.

After that, the press conference ended with a few non-nutritious topics.

In the next few days, Huang Jun trained very seriously under the guidance of the Cavaliers' trainers, and automatically practiced every day.

All the Cavaliers players know that their team has a little Kobe Bryant, it's crazy, he came earlier than anyone in the morning, and it's not a matter of going back a little earlier than anyone else, that kind of desperate energy, anyone who sees it is moved, and it's nothing more than seeing Kobe Bryant's training.

In addition to training, Huang Jun also made up for his knowledge of basketball, rules or something, Big Ben also taught Huang Jun to use small actions to harass when defending, and Jason Williams taught Huang Jun the art of passing, which made Huang Jun extremely excited, and he spent every day busy.

Although it was still early days, it was Asik and Huang Jun who started training, and there were some rookies who were not drafted, and Big Ben and Jason sacrificed their offseason time to teach Huang Jun and Asik.

This is what it means that the team has an old man who has a treasure, and the experience is unusually rich, which is lacking in newcomers.

The time was spent in training day by day, and I spent more than a week at one point. A lot of the rookies who didn't make the draft came in because the summer league was going to start right away, and they wanted to be picked up and signed because they needed the job. A lot of the undrafted rookies don't have very good families, so they have to work hard.

The players of the Cavaliers last season in the summer league have been confirmed to participate in Gibson, Wright, and Alexander Pavlovich. With the exception of Gibson, who played a little bit of minutes, the other two players who played in garbage time last season were basically on the pitch last season, and their purpose in participating in the summer league was simply to have more opportunities to play in the new season.

This year, the Cavaliers will need to play in four Summer League games, which will be a good thing for Huang, but the quality of the games is not that high.

The Cavaliers' first summer league game will face the Bulls with the top pick, and the confrontation between the top and the top pick is very interesting in everyone's opinion, both of which are in the No. 1 position, and the game is directly opposed, who is strong and who is weak?

On July 8th, the first summer league game, the Bulls vs. the Cavaliers, China Central 5 broadcast the game live, and this game received too much attention, so the game was specially arranged to the Magic's arena for the game.

The last time Summer League had so much attention was back in '03, when that game was the premiere of James and Wade.

Everyone wants to know whether the champion is the best or the best leader. Of course, James will be there to watch the game when the time comes.

The Bulls announced their lineup for the opening game the day before yesterday in Summer League, with last year's No. 9 rookie Noah Hao Ran on the list, and the Bulls' roster is stronger than the Cavaliers' roster for Summer League.

However, in fact, the lineup has not been changed because of this, and the summer league has given newcomers a stage for training and a stage for proof.

On July 8, only about 30 minutes before the start of the game, there were many people at the scene, whether it was Cavaliers fans or Bulls fans, and the arena was almost full, but the tickets for the summer league were very cheap, a little more expensive than a cabbage.

Bulls head coach Del Negro, this is the new head coach of the Bulls this year, and this game is also his proof game. The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown, who is known for his defense.

Before the game, both sides simply laid it out, first probed each other, and then decided how to do it.

"Today's broadcast for you is the NBA Summer League, the Bulls vs. the Cavaliers, this game was specially arranged to the Magic's arena due to attention problems, and the focus of this game is undoubtedly on the alignment between the top and the champion." Yoga went on to say, "The list is officially our country's defender, so we're bringing you a live broadcast of this game, and the game will start right away, so let's go live and see how the game goes?" ”

The game begins.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers, Huang Jun, Gibson, Pavlovich, Wright, Asik. Bulls' starting lineup: Rose, Langford, Nichols, Thomas and Noah.

Noah and Asik jump ball in the middle circle.

Asik was unsurprisingly defeated, the ball was flicked to Noah in front of Rose, and the Bulls started the first attack of the game without any surprises.

Rose controlled the ball, and Huang Jun stared at it. Rose has a very strong body, which is very rare in point guards, and it also gives Rose a lot of help, and it is full of explosiveness.

According to the requirements of the coach before the game, Knoll came up to cover Rose, and Rose took this opportunity to pass Huang Jun directly, and rushed to the basket with an arrow step, Rose's speed was also very fast, and the next second he directly hit the inside line, jumped high, and was ready to dunk.

Asik didn't agree, jumped high, directly covered the ball, and got the ball still in the air, and threw it directly to Huang Jun, who was about to go down.

Huang Jun received the ball, without any hesitation, and directly used his wind-like speed to run towards the opponent's half.

Looking at the basket in front of him that was slowly getting closer and closer to him, Huang Jun said in his heart, "Let me make my first ball to prove myself, whether I deserve to be on the list or not." ”

At the moment when he just crossed the free throw line, he saw Huang Jun jump high.

Everyone began to cover their mouths, looking at the figure with shocked faces, whether it was a superstar sitting on the sidelines watching the game or who, they were all shocked, what would he do? Although it has passed the free throw line, it is not simple, you must know that Huang Jun is Chinese, and the Chinese physique is far inferior to the black physique, but the world recognizes.

Huang Jun jumped high and glided in the air, and then came a one-handed split dunk, because he glided too far, Huang Jun didn't have much strength when he dunked at the end, so this violent dunk can't be regarded as a violent dunk in everyone's opinion.

But there was still a tsunami of applause from the scene, and James slapped the sidelines, which made Wade, who came to watch the game with him next to him, extremely depressed.

Because Wade's face was accidentally hit by James, because he shot too hard, he didn't notice Wade next to him, so this happened.

Wade looked at the weak body on the court, and regretted that he died, "Why don't you rob it, give James such a helper for nothing, alas"
