Basketball Myth: Super Guard

In a blink of an eye, two months passed.

Qin Hao has been in the arena for the past two months. Now that he is an NBA player, he can't slack off. The NBA will only be more cruel than the ncaa, and his opponents will be stronger.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball hollowed into the net.

The shooting machine bounced the basketball back, Qin Hao received the ball and changed direction, then jumped up and shot, hitting again...

Qin Hao stopped after two hundred shots in a row. He leaned on his knees to pant, staring at the basket, feeling a little helpless: "It's been a few months, and I still haven't been able to break through the mid-range shots."

In the past few months, Qin Hao has been training for mid-range jumpers, hoping to enter the NBA with a stronger attitude and welcome the NBA game.

However, after a few months, he clearly felt that he was very close to a breakthrough, but it was just a little bit short. Qin Hao understood that he lacked an opportunity.

"The preseason is coming soon, and I hope to get a breakthrough in the preseason." Qin Hao said to himself.

Suddenly, with a click, the gate of the arena was pushed open.

A tall white old man in a suit and leather shoes, nearly two meters in height, walked in, followed by a middle-aged black man with a pot belly and a shaved head.

"Coach Collins, Assistant Coach Luke." Qin Hao shouted.

These two are the current head coach of the 76ers, Doug Collins, and assistant coach Thorne Luke. Qin Hao has met twice before, once a few days after he first came to the team, and once two days. forward.

However, Doug Collins has always kept a straight face and behaved indifferently, but Assistant Coach Thorne Luke was quite enthusiastic about Qin Hao, and chatted with Qin Hao for a while the day before yesterday.

Coach Collins only took office as the head coach of the 76ers in May this year. He was a former player of the 76ers and the No. 1 overall pick. He was selected by the 76ers with the first overall pick in 1973 and has been with the 76ers since then. He has been selected to the All-Star team 4 times.

After Collins retired, he began to coach. He has coached the Bulls, Pistons, Wizards and other teams. During the Bulls and Wizards, he coached Michael Jordan.

Now he's a 76ers coach, returning to where his player's career began.

Collins has spent his entire playing career with the 76ers, and he has a special feeling for the team. He came to the 76ers to help the 76ers rise.

So it's only mid-September, and the players haven't returned yet. Coach Collins has already returned early to prepare for the new season.

Seeing Qin Hao, Collins just nodded.

Assistant Professor Luke smiled at Qin Hao and waved his hand, indicating that Qin Hao was busy with his own work, and the two went straight to the office on the second floor.

An hour later, the two left the office, and seeing that Qin Hao was still there, Coach Collins looked at Qin Hao more and said nothing.

"Qin." Assistant Coach Luke came to Qin Hao and said, "Diligence is a good thing, but you must also pay attention to proper rest. The preseason will start soon, and the players will return one after another in these two days. The most important thing is to integrate into the team, understand?"

"Well, thank you Luke Assistant." Qin Hao nodded.

Luke chuckled and turned away.

Watching the two leave, Qin Hao retracted his gaze. Luke's assistant coach is still good. Just now, I specially reminded him that the players will return soon. He, a rookie, must be mentally prepared and integrate into the team as soon as possible, otherwise it will be wrong. His growth was not good.

A player's rookie period is actually very important. If he doesn't get a chance during the rookie period, it will even affect his entire career.

But what Qin Hao didn't understand was that Coach Collins was always a little cold to him, and he didn't know what went wrong.

If the head coach of the team doesn't want to see him, it's a little troublesome.

......

In the next few days, the players of the 76ers returned one after another, the core of the team Andre Iguodala, several main players Elton Brand, Zhu Holiday, and Louis Williams, Thaddeus Young, Spencer Hawes, Jordi Meeks, Andres Nocioni, Maris Speights, Craig Briggins, Tony Ba Tee, Darius Sanghella, Antonio Daniels, Jason Kapono.

A total of 14 people, plus Qin Hao, is the current lineup of the 76ers.

Originally, Allen Iverson was also on the team, a player Qin Hao liked very much, but because his youngest daughter suffered from a strange disease and had a high fever, Iverson had to terminate his contract with the 76ers in order to take care of his daughter. , it has not yet been determined whether it will return.

Qin Hao greeted his teammates one by one, but everyone's attitude towards Qin Hao was different. Some people were very enthusiastic about him, some people were curious in their tone, and some people had a cold expression, showing a look of rejection. In addition to the appearance, there are also people with jealousy in their eyes...

"It's true that life is full of rivers and lakes." Qin Hao sighed inwardly.

If he was just a 20-year-old young man, he might not have noticed anything, but in his body lived a 30-year-old soul. How could the careful thoughts of his teammates be able to hide from him?

Of course, some people didn't want to hide it at all, and they acted very directly. For example, defender Jodi Meeks, whose hostility towards Qin Hao was almost written on his face.

Although Assistant Luke reminded him before, Qin Hao still felt tired. It seemed that it was the same wherever he went, and life was full of rivers and lakes.

But it's not surprising when you think about it.

The NBA is originally a business alliance. Since it is a business alliance, there will naturally be entanglements of interests. It is not uncommon for interests to be involved and intrigue.

Qin Hao quickly summed up in his heart, and has a preliminary understanding of each teammate, who welcomes him, who does not welcome him, and who has an indifferent attitude. He has a bottom line.

"Meeks, you are miserable." The team's backup small forward Kapono smiled at the guard Jordi Meeks next to him: "Qin Yilai, your playing time will be divided again, and now I'm afraid I want to It's hard to be a second backup defender."

Meeks glared at Capono, who was gloating at the misfortune, and looked at Qin Hao, with undisguised hostility in his eyes, and snorted coldly.

Meeks was selected by the Bucks with the 11th overall pick in the second round in 2009, but was traded to the 76ers after only 41 games with the Bucks.

He played 19 games with the 76ers last season as the team's third backup guard behind Iverson and Jrue Holiday, averaging 5.9 points and 1.4 points per game in 12.3 minutes per game. rebounds, 0.9 assists, relative to playing time, the data is not bad.

Iverson did not return this season, Holiday will become the team's starting guard, and he will also become the team's second backup guard, playing time will be greatly increased, and opportunities will be more.

But when Qin Hao came, his position as the second backup guard was in danger.
