Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!
Chapter Ten You Didn't Know You Didn't Pay Your Fine?
The days of the training camp are simple and boring. There is no travel, no rest, and naturally no sensual dogs and horses from all over the United States.
But here is an important moment for all teams to experiment with new lineups and practice new tactics!
After all, in the long season to come, the team no longer has such ample time to adjust tactics and polish various details.
It can be said that the team's tactical foundation and basic tacit understanding throughout the year are all based on the training camp to lay a solid foundation! This is why so many coaches are very opposed to making big trades in the middle of the season, which will make their entire season's efforts look like a joke and have to be reinvented.
Fortunately, no matter how boring it is, he only has one month.
In mid-October, the training camp of each team is finally over. They will usher in 5-7 preseason games to conduct the final experiment and determine their lineup. Then, they will start a 6-month long season. The longest and most important regular season!
The same is true for the Suns. Their first game of the preseason is to play against the former league powerhouse--Utah Jazz!
The Jazz used to be one of the best teams in the entire league in the 1990s. They had the ace combination of Malone and Stockton. This combination once helped the team reach the finals twice, but unfortunately, they failed to win. Even a championship.
After they left and retired, the entire Utah entered a long period of reconstruction. Last year, the Jazz only won 26 wins and became the vice president of the Western Conference.
But everyone believes that the rise of the Jazz will definitely come soon!
It's not that these people are from the future like Lin Zhan, knowing that they have selected an extremely important cornerstone of the team this year: fat boy Deron Williams.
But they believe that as long as the old coach Jerry Sloan is still there, the soul and root of the Jazz will be there!
Their rise is only a matter of time!
The venue for the game was set at the American Airlines Center Arena, the home of the Suns.
As an unremarkable preseason game, there were only about 17,000 spectators at the American Airlines Center, and the arena was not too full. Besides the local media in Phoenix, not many media came. Cover the game.
After all, although the Suns have Nash and were the number one player in the league last year, in terms of popularity, the media still prefer to interview Kobe, Garnett, Iverson and James.
What Lin Zhan noticed was that at the edge of the media booth, there was a yellow-skinned man who was silently setting up his own equipment. His intuition told Lin Zhan that this guy came here for himself!
In fact, it's funny to say that the NBA has entered the Chinese market with such great fanfare, especially after Dayao entered the NBA. The NBA is slowly replacing the five major European leagues and becoming the favorite sports league for Chinese people.
But in this case, as a real Chinese person, Lin Zhan entered the NBA, but he did not become the object of crazy pursuit and reports by the entire Chinese media like Dayao or even earlier.
As for the reason, Lin Zhan once thought about it himself. First of all, he did not play in China. In this era, the NCAA is far from entering the field of vision of the domestic public. I am afraid that if he had not participated in the draft, many people would not know UCLA at all. And a number one person like myself.
Secondly, Lin Zhan's reputation and style in ncaa is really not good enough, not suitable for promotion and publicity as a national sports idol, which is why Lin Zhan has entered the NBA as a first-round pick, but has not won domestic The reason for the crazy pursuit from the media to the capital and then to the fans!
But Lin Zhan also believes that popularity is created by himself!
As long as you play well and play well, are you afraid of not having fans and endorsements?
Lin Zhan sat on the bench, thinking, while watching the two sides on the court come and go, fighting each other.
On the Suns side, although Stoudemire, the number one offensive ace, and Joe Johnson and other capable players were absent, they still played a sun-style offense like mercury pouring down the ground under Nash's go-between.
Under the leadership of Nash, the two traditional starters, Marion and Bell, all quickly increased the team's points, and Diao and Thomas, who were taken into the starting lineup this year due to injuries and player departures, also played well. Good performance, D'Antoni on the sidelines kept nodding, very satisfied with the performance of the players.
Lin Zhan was watching with great interest, when suddenly there was a burst of warm applause and cheers. Lin Zhan followed the sound and saw that it was Amare Stoudemire!
Stoudemire is wearing a fancy suit today, and the knee protector and crutches have been thrown away long ago. He is in very good condition. It is obvious that the recovery progress is very good, which puts him in a good mood.
Stoudemire sat directly behind Lin Zhan, patted him on the shoulder very affectionately and said:
"Dude, isn't it your turn yet? Shall I talk to Mike and let you play for a while?"
Stoudemire's kindness made Lin Zhan a little baffled. This guy had never appeared in the entire training camp, and he had never spoken a word to him. How could he look so familiar?
Or is this guy, like Nash, a natural acquaintance?
Seeing that Lin Zhan didn't speak, Stoudemire continued: "You don't need to thank me, we are all good buddies! I have long disliked that boy Raja, and you beat him very well! It's better to be with me next time." Time to beat him!"
"Thank you for what?" Lin Zhan was completely confused, he really didn't understand the meaning of Xiaosi's words.
"Your fine! Didn't Mike fine you $30,000?" Stoudemire rolled his eyes.
Suddenly it occurred to me that I didn't seem to have told Lin Zhan, and explained: "Have you handed it in? Did someone urge you? Of course someone did it for you!"
"I thought it would be deducted from my salary."
Lin Zhan scratched his head, wondering why Stoudemire was so kind to him, and then tentatively said:
"But I'm not a professional thug. If you ask me to beat someone up for you, I don't just do it casually."
"Unless he's really nasty! Like Bruce Bowen or Robert Horry!"
