283. The King of the Mountain arrived

The NBA has a summer league every summer, mainly for role players under three years old, rookies, and some unsigned free agents who want to enter the league. The purpose of the existence of this league is to let the players sense the intensity of the NBA confrontation in advance, which can be regarded as a buffer belt to help players find their feelings, help the team run in, and help managers choose players.

The league games are generally located in Long Beach, Minnesota, Apolis and Atlanta in California, and are organized by a team in the league, and occasionally unreasonable situations occur in some aspects, so since the summer of 2004, the NBA has passed a resolution to set up a summer league by the league in Las Vegas. This is what we are now familiar with the Las Vegas Summer League.

With only eight teams participating in the first edition, most of them were on the sidelines, but in fact the league was a great success, with 28 teams participating in five years' time. Moreover, at that time, not only the NBA teams, but also the national team men's basketball teams of some countries came to exercise. For example, this year, the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the summer league, not in Las Vegas, but in Atlanta, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi did not participate, the former is to rest, and the latter is to participate in the Bobcats' joint practice (several leagues have different times, after the Olympics, the summer league in Las Vegas is over).

When Warben arrived in Washington, Jordan personally brought the driver to pick him up, and he was greeted with a hug: "Well done, Ben, you played very well in Greece, especially that breakthrough, then God must have come to you!" ”

Jordan himself served as the head coach of the Bobcats, which Waalben was not very happy about, this guy was a paranoid guy who was dedicated to destroying rookies. For the new owner, Hua Ben did not plan to win the championship at the beginning and then build a dynasty in three years, which is unrealistic, he hopes that he can tap a group of potential newcomers through the vision of his previous life, and stand at the top of the league step by step, obviously, Jordan does not seem to be suitable for this role.

However, after Eva's report, Wamoto was surprised to find that Joe's gang leader had changed his surname today, and it was said that he had been very kind in the summer league, even if the team lost all seven games in the summer league, he was not angry, and left with a cigar in his mouth at the end of the game, which made the reporters very uncomfortable.

"God has made it to me, otherwise how could I get a double MVP and a salary of 20 million?" Wabbon laughed, and Jordan took out a cigar and asked him if he wanted to take two puffs, and he shook his head.

Jordan had diamond studs in his ears and a cigar in his mouth, took a hard puff, and then said, "We have a problematic roster, Ben, you know, summer league, except for us, the other teams are going to shit, we are on almost every starting lineup - except for you, but it's very unsuccessful." The most bad thing is that both Braven and the guy in Georgia got hurt! ”

There is a sentence that Jordan didn't say, other teams are led by assistant coaches, but the Bobcats are personally out of the game as the head coach. The last news is especially bad news, Knight was known as one of the Cavaliers' Four Little Tigers, a high-quality point guard, although there are shortcomings such as sticky balls, but it is very suitable to be a substitute for Pattin, but now, Patin has no substitute! Another wounded man was named Zaza. Pachuria, a strong substitute for Hua Ben, has a strong lethality on the inside, and now, he is also injured!

Hua Ben read the game report, Patin and the Magic's selected champion Lang Howard shared the MVP of the summer league, Oku performed well, averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds per game: this is really good, he only averages 14 minutes per game, the summer league is to run in the team, more to give role players a chance to perform, players like him who are scheduled to start mainly go through the motions.

"Isn't it? Isn't the king of China also not there? Waben said nonchalantly as he texted Eva to tell her not to pick him up.

Upon hearing this, Jordan smiled, "He is used to open up the Asian market, do we expect him to lead the team to victory?" ”

Wabbon's performance was well worth his salary, and as soon as he got off the plane, he didn't even return home, and went straight to the Bobcats' training gymnasium, which is located on the new Warner Center and home stadium of the Bobcats.

The city of Charlotte is different from big cities such as New York, although it is one of the top ten cities in the United States, but the urban area of this city is very scattered, there is no city center in the strict sense, which is also a characteristic of American cities (the only one that comes and goes is New York, and Los Angeles is also the same), each district has its own advantages, but it is not obvious economically. In this regard, Charlotte is particularly obvious, so it has earned a nickname, called 'City of a Thousand Villages', of course, this nickname is also related to the city's strong American tradition.

When Hua Ben got out of the car, a tall figure stepped down from a car at the same time, carrying some energy drinks, popcorn, pizza and other things, this person had black hair and yellow skin, it was Wang Zhizhi who had said goodbye not long ago.

"Hey Ben, you're back?" Wang Zhizhi waved his hand in some surprise, a simple sentence in English, and he stumbled a little.

Hua Ben knew that his English was not very good, so he said in Chinese: "Just got off the plane, by the way, how did you buy so much water and food?" Planning to stay at the arena? ”

Wang Zhizhi knew about Hua Ben's Chinese language, just to avoid trouble, Hua Ben deliberately spoke in a standard foreign accent, which was very non-standard, but could be heard. Wang Zhizhi held up a large bag of things in his hand and explained, "I bought it for the guys, we just finished training." He is still speaking in English, and it seems that he knows his shortcomings and takes every opportunity to train himself.

You know, in the NBA, head coaches don't give a translator time to explain their words because of a role player.

Yao Ming's advice to Wang Zhizhi is to learn English quickly, otherwise you will suffer a big loss, and the fighters are fleeting, for example, when there is a good opportunity, the coach thinks that the inside players should cover the outside players to play tactics, they will shout 'low cover, high fast forward', and the players must execute this tactic within a second. If you don't understand English and you are stupid enough to read the translation, wait for the translation to say what it means, and then the will be cold. If you can't execute your tactics faithfully, what else does the team want you to do?

Hua Ben nodded, and casually helped Wang Zhizhi carry a dozen water, Wang Zhizhi didn't even say no, he smiled, and insisted on carrying it and following him into the stadium.

Previously, Jordan left without saying the purpose of the trip, and as soon as the players saw him leave, they began to rest after a hasty training session, playing around in the training hall and joking with each other.

Bobcats' players are more relaxed, because they are a new army, there is no pressure, it is natural to play first from the bottom next season, and it is a surprise to play from the bottom, and many players also come to the team with a mixed mentality.

When Wang Zhizhi pushed open the door and walked in, a person sat on the ground and frowned and scolded: "Hey, monkey, why does it take so much time to buy water?" You yellows are so fucking stupid, lazy and dirty, I really don't understand why the team bought you, I bet if it weren't for the market behind you, the boss would rather choose a bubble of shit than choose you to play. By the way, what about my water? Where is it? ”

In fact, in the United States, it is not blacks who suffer the most from racial discrimination. Because of legal awareness, the average person is reluctant to provoke blacks. On the contrary, the yellow race is often discriminated against, firstly, because the yellow race is soft-tempered, and secondly, the yellow race does not want to be involved in lawsuits and is afraid of trouble, so both black and white people like to make fun of the yellow race.

Hearing this big black man's words, Wang Zhizhi frowned and didn't say anything, not that he was soft-tempered, but that this person spoke very quickly, he couldn't understand it at all, he only knew that if he didn't say good things, he couldn't fight for something unnecessary, right? It was not easy to come to the Bobcats this time, and he didn't want to waste it.

These players also know his surname, so they say so, Wang Zhizhi has been in the team for more than half a month, and his surname has almost been understood by the players. In the past, the work of buying water was done by rookies, but now that he is here, it is spread on him, and there is a reason: "We are all role players, we don't have much money, there are so many people in China, you can make a lot of money, so it's up to you to treat yourself." ”

After the big black man finished speaking, the group of people laughed. Seeing that Wang Zhizhi was indeed not carrying water in his hand, several people shouted along, shouting 'water, water, water'.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside, Wang Zhizhi was startled, and everyone who was shouting happily was also startled.

Hua Ben walked in with a gloomy face, carrying water in his hand, he fell to the ground and yelled, "Who the wants to drink water?" Come here! ”

Everyone didn't speak, and quickly lowered their heads. When Padding saw Hua Ben, he stood up with a smile, and was about to speak, but Hua Ben looked at him coldly and said, "You want to drink water?!" ”

Patin said embarrassedly, "No, Captain"

"Not the fuck, what are you doing to stand up for me?" Hua Ben roared angrily, his eyes were tyrannical, like a tiger, "I'm asking who wants to drink water just now!" Didn't you just fucking scream happily? Come and drink water, you captain I'm going to buy it myself! ”

No one spoke, and Iguodala's three rookies were silent, this is the boss.

But the man was unlucky, and he was shot while lying down, Hua Ben kicked the water away, walked up to the three people, looked down at the three people and asked, "Rookie, why don't you fucking buy water?" Why let a veteran go buy water? ”

Iguodala was also a high-minded and fierce gangster in college, and if ordinary people dared to speak to him like that, they would have been slapped earlier. However, it is the boss of the team who is talking to him now, and he is talking about a rule, that is, rookies buy water and do tiring work. Moreover, how many people dare to do it in the face of Huaben? The Seven Injuries in the Olympics and the Finals dragged the Sharks, this is not an ordinary person, even Barkley and other ruthless people said that he should go to the UFC and WWE to mix instead of the NBA.

Seeing that the three of them did not speak, Hua Ben snorted coldly, walked up to Pattin, and asked, "Come, tell me, why did you let the king of China buy water?" Padding, you are the team's starting playmaker, you are the captain on the field, I am not in the team, it is up to you, why did you let the king of China buy water? ”

Padding was stunned and looked at Huaben at a loss.

"Because he is Chinese? Don't say he's a rookie, he entered the NBA earlier than you. Because he's not an American? He's a bully? Wabben asked, "Patin, ask yourself, how did I treat you and Dacko in Detroit?" You were still a rookie at the time, and when Rashid bullied you, did I ignore it like you? ”

Patin bit his lip and whispered, "I'm sorry, Captain. "In Detroit, the reason why everybody believes in Warburn is that he's not only good at playing and fighting, but also the most fair, even if you're a rookie, no one can criticize you if you don't make a mistake.

"I'm disappointed in you, Pattin, I thought you could organize the team even if you couldn't lead it." Hua Ben patted him on the shoulder and said, "Seven consecutive defeats, fortunately I'm not here, otherwise, I would have committed suicide in a shame!" ”

"No, no, Captain" Patin looked up, but looking into Waben's eyes, he sighed, lowered his head and said weakly, "I'm sorry, I indulged myself. ”

Hua Ben nodded solemnly, and secretly said that Ma Wei was almost over, and he should not go too far and scare a few rookies. If this potential is not destroyed in Jordan's hands but let him die, it will be tragic.

However, the dismount is almost over, but the matter is not over.
