Chapter Fifty-Seven: The No. 8 Show is like this, and I can't think about how big the temper of the champion Xiu is
Richard Hamilton was easier to get along with than expected.
In a short conversation, Yu Fei discovered the naΓ―ve side of Hamilton's personality, that is, he easily trusts others.
And, he will look at the world with a superficial gaze.
For example, he is from Philadelphia, but he claims that there are no unique products in Philadelphia, and the so-called proliferation of exclusive products is a smear of despicable outlanders.
His argument was that no one among his friends had it, so Philadelphia must not have it.
Yu Fei almost suspected that this person was pretending to be stupid with him, but if he thought about it carefully, was this necessary?
Anyway, Hamilton won Yu Fei's favor.
At yesterday's media conference, although Yu Fei had met with other members of the Wizards team, there was basically no communication, just exchanging names.
Today can be regarded as the first day of the training camp, after Yu Fei finished the morning training, he had lunch and took a short rest, and came to the gym of the Wilmington campus on time in the afternoon.
Nearly all of the Wizards' names were on the scene, except for Jordan and Kwame Brown.
Jordan will miss the first few days of training camp because of tenosynovitis, which everyone knows.
Where did Brown go?
Yu Feizheng was strange, and the team's coach Doug Collins answered everyone's doubts: "Kwamei will not participate in training today because of back spasms." β
Jordan and Brown are not there, and the only thing on this team that can make Yu Fei feel a little bit of affection is Tyronn Lue, who just transferred from the Lakers to the Wizards this summer.
There's no way, Director Lu's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, "You still know how to play. JPG" emojis are also popular in domestic sports forums. If Coach Lue was just a pendant to James during his time with the Cavaliers, he earned his place in the NBA when he took over the Clippers and took the team to the Western Conference Finals with Kawhi Leonard's season reimbursed, setting a franchise record.
Due to the absence of Jordan, the team's big man, and Brown, who focuses on development, Collins did not let the players play against each other as usual.
Today's training was all about tactical running.
"I hope that the veteran players can help the new players, and even though today is our first time working together, I hope that I will be presented with a team of one heart and one mind."
Probably just from the relationship between the commentator and the coach, Collins still gives people the feeling of commenting on the game when he speaks.
During the training, Yu Fei more or less exchanged a few words with others.
Almost everyone has a different impression.
Chris Whitney PG, a six-year veteran of the team, is a warm-hearted leader and role model.
Another veteran, Hubert Davis SG, was harsh and didn't allow anyone to drag his feet.
Tyronn Lue ran into a wall like a headless fly.
As the Wizards' only signings after the draft, his performance sent Colin on a frown.
Then there's one of the ugliest people Yu Fei has ever seen in his life β Popeye Jones PF.
In terms of ugliness alone, he has surpassed Yu Fei's buddy Anthony Lawson.
Lawson actually didn't have much of a problem with his facial features except for his larger nostrils, but Jones didn't, he had a pair of eyes that were not angry and self-threatening, and when he stared at people, those eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, which was very terrifying.
Fortunately, this person is ugly, and his temperament is good, Yu Fei overlapped with him, and after being knocked down by him, he widened his eyes and stretched out his hand as if he was angry, "I'm sorry, my fault." β
"It's okay, I forgive you." In fact, Yu Feiren was still dizzy, and he didn't know who ran wrong.
The veteran who left the worst impression on Yu Fei was Christian Leitner, who was fair and gentlemanly, but he was a villain who liked to bully people.
When Tyronn Lue's running clashes with that, he uses the word "piggy."
The soft-spoken Lu could only swallow the evil breath.
Yu Fei's running position was also cautious, he didn't want to be bitten by a dog.
However, dogs are dogs not only because they like to be cheap, but also because they like to take the initiative.
At the end of the first day of training, Yu Fei went back to the locker room to change clothes, and Leitner actually stripped off his clothes in front of him and threw them on the ground, "Rookie, help me send these clothes to be washed." β
Bullying is a lot of things that Yu Fei has seen in Korean dramas, although no one has ever bullied him in reality, but now, if someone wants to do this, how can he give in?
"What if I refuse?" Yu Fei asked.
Leitner said confidently: "You better help me do this, it's the rookie's responsibility." β
"I refuse." Yu Fei said, "I can help Rip and Chris, but I won't help you, I don't want to have anything to do with someone as sick as you." β
Lightner's face was extremely gloomy at that moment, "It seems that no one has ever taught you rookie etiquette. β
"If you think you're qualified to teach me, don't blame me for rejecting you again." Yu Fei was ready to make a move with Lightner, as long as the other party dared to make a move, he would cut off the bird's reproductive function with one kick.
It's too much for a bird to be small and invisible, and you still like to strip naked for others to see?
Yu Fei said sarcastically: "How can a despicable villain like you who likes to trample on opponents teach me etiquette? Don't forget, you were already a thief when you weren't even a rookie, and the only reason the Dream Team wasn't the best team in history was because of the extra person on the team. β
Furious, Lightner burst into flames, "I'm going to give you a lesson!" β
The two didn't fight, after all, there were still a lot of good people at the scene.
Chris Whitney grabbed Lightner, and Hamilton spoke as the second leader: "Christian, what do you do with the kids?" β
As he spoke, he gave Director Lu a look and asked him to take Yu Fei out of the locker room.
As a player who has Iverson's body but does not have Iverson's talent and skills, but also has Iverson's efficiency, in addition to being very experienced in defending Iverson, Coach Lu is below the NBA indicators in many aspects.
The reason why he has been able to stay in the NBA for nearly a decade is not only because he is diligent and studious, but also because he is a good person and has high emotional intelligence.
After Hamilton finished his eyes, Director Lu immediately took Yu Fei away.
"Fry, you're too impulsive today."
Coach Lu is a person who has come over, and he has been bullied by all kinds of old hooligans as early as when he was a Laker, and he is very open to this kind of thing, in his opinion, Leitner, a stinky garbage man, just asked Yu Fei to help him take his clothes to wash it is already for Jordan's sake.
Who would have thought that this kid had such a personality? Forget about refusal, and taunt Lightner to his face, do you want to play happily together in the future?
"I've been putting up with him for two hours," Yu Fei said, "just playing on the subject." β
Director Lu was dumbfounded, how is this kid still a thorn?
It's the unspoken rules of the NBA that veterans play tricks on rookies, as long as they don't go too far, it's better than Anthony Davis being stripped naked in the locker room by a bunch of old hooligans when he was a rookie.
This is still not the most outrageous, the most outrageous is an anecdote that Director Lu heard with the Lakers, which is a story that happened in the Showtime era. On an away trip, Abdul-Jabbar opened the rookie player's luggage and found a pair of women's underwear inside, which belonged to the rookie player's fiancΓ©e, so he put the panties on his head and shouted, "Your wife is on top of me!" Your wife is above me (1)! β
Can you imagine that picture?
"Christian is a player that the team relies on and you're a rookie that the team is going to develop so much... You have to have a good relationship. "Coach Lu made one last effort.
Yu Fei sneered disdainfully: "That idiot has changed five teams in the past seven years, how long do you think he can stay in D.C?" β
Director Lu no longer wastes his tongue, to put it bluntly, Yu Fei has the capital to fight with Lightner. He's a lottery pick, and Leitner is, as he claims, just a consolation prize for the team in the Juwan Howard trade. If he can fit into the Wizards in the Jordan era, maybe he can play in D.C for a few years, and if he can't, maybe he will be sent away before the season is over.
Looking at it this way, Yu Fei has no fear.
Director Lu had to take a look at Feigao.
Is this a high school rookie? The No. 8 show is like this, and the champion show can't think about how big his temper is.
