Chapter 263: Dunn Returns
The next day, after Luan Jiye had breakfast, he said goodbye to Hu Hanying, and went directly to the training hall to train, and went to the training hall on the basement floor of the Toyota Center.
After a while, Harden and Paul came together, the three of them said hello, and then began to practice their singles skills, and after a while, all the players came, and the most amazing thing was that an old friend also came! That's right, this person is Chris Dunn! (An old classmate from Harvard University)
Luan Jiye saw Dunn coming in, so he ran over excitedly, bumped his fist with him, and said, "How long have I been in Team Rocket!" You've just appeared! It's not interesting enough! ”
Dunn also smiled and said, "Hahaha, isn't this because he didn't come back after being injured again, and he was sent to the Viper team to level up!" I know you're happy to be on Team Rocket too! I've wanted to meet you for a long time! ”
The two men chatted for a while, and then D'Antoni asked everyone to assemble, then called Dunn to the front, and said, "We welcome Dunn's return!" I hope he can do well this season! ”
Then the other players burst into applause, Dunn also expressed his gratitude, and then immediately joined the training, Dunn is a center, so he trained with Olajuwon and Capela, Zhou Qi, Nene and Blake, which can also see a situation, there are too many centers, plus Dunn has five, if Nene retires after playing this season, then one needs to go, this person may be produced in Blake and Dunn.
This can't be helped, now the Rockets' inside and outside lines are sufficient, which will produce the phenomenon of insufficient salary caps, now the Rockets have several big contracts, Luan Jiye, Harden and Paul all need to have big contracts to renew, although Harden and Paul have signed a four-year contract, but Luan Jiye has only signed for one year, and will renew the contract next year, the current Luan Jiye has played his own value, it is estimated that after the contract expires, many teams will come to him, and when the time comes, it is still unknown whether Luan Jiye can be retained.
The training ended at noon, and after resting for two hours, I would continue the afternoon training, and there would be a five-on-five practice match in the afternoon, I don't know how Dunn's ability is now, Luan Jiye took a sip of sports drink, then sat on the chair and looked at his mobile phone, and then took a photo of the training hall and sent it to Hu Hanying.
After a while, Hu Hanying replied with a message and said, "Wow, your training hall is so big, much bigger than the university!" ”
"It's okay, maybe I'm used to it, and I don't feel as good as high school no matter how big I am!" Luan Jiye replied.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then they picked up their mobile phones and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch, when Dunn came over, and the two of them went to lunch together, chatting along the way, talking about winning championships in college, and then remembering Bol, Giles, Walter and others, these old classmates, if they have time, really want to get together.
Sitting in the cafeteria to eat, the two of them also discussed the things of the previous college, and Dunn also said: "By the way, your mother's cooking is really delicious, I really want to eat it again!" Hahahaha! ”
"Okay, when my mother moves to the United States, you can come to my house for dinner!" Luan Jiye said with a smile.
The two of them laughed for a while, and then Luan Jiye said again: "By the way, how are you playing in the Viper team?" ”
"I feel like I can be the boss of the Vipers, after all, I can sit on the bench until I get injured, and there, I'm just leveling up!" Dunn said.
After a while, after eating, the two of them went outside to buy Coke again, and then returned to the training hall, and there was still more than half an hour before the afternoon training began, Dunn proposed: "Luan, do me a favor, I want to try my defensive ability." ”
"Singles? Yes! Luan Jiye said.
So, the two of them went to the locker room again to change into training clothes, Luan Jiye kicked off, Dunn defended, Luan Jiye slapped the ball in place, and then said to Dunn: "It's coming!" ”
"Come on!" Dunn said confidently that this time the Rockets recruited him back, which shows that the team still attaches great importance to his ceiling ability, so he has confidence, although he knows that he is not Luan Jiye's opponent, but he thinks that it is just right for a strong opponent to hone himself.
At this moment, Luan Jiye suddenly rushed over with the ball, Dunn also bent down to prepare to defend, he felt that he was ready, but Luan Jiye suddenly changed direction and broke through Dunn from the right, Dunn didn't have time to defend, when Luan Jiye jumped up and was about to go to the basket, Dunn blocked him! But it was a thug foul.
"It's a pity, hurry up and this cap will be completed!" Luan Jiye smiled and said, "It's okay! Again! ”
Dunn nodded, then picked up the ball and threw it to Luan Jiye, Luan Jiye returned to the three-point line again, and when Dunn was ready, Luan Jiye ran over with the ball again, this time Luan Jiye chose to play with his back to the single, Dunn was also close to the defense, Luan Jiye suddenly used his dream footsteps!
This made Dunn stunned, he didn't expect Luan Jiye to use this trick, just when Luan Jiye turned around for the last time, Dunn also seized the opportunity, Luan Jiye turned around and jumped, Dunn saw the right time, jumped up to block, but the ball was still higher than Dunn's palm, and fell into the basket past Dunn.
Twenty minutes later, after Dunn finally succeeded in blocking Luan Jiye, the two of them rested for a while, after all, there was still training to be carried out in a while, so the two of them sat on chairs, drank water, rested for a while, and waited for their teammates to come back and continue training.
