Where is the 616 Summer League)
Although Ibaka means that he is not very familiar with this tall and big black boy, Chamberlain still gave him great face. He fucked Biyongbo intimately and hugged him, complimenting: "Man, although I haven't watched you play basketball yet, you have a tough attitude, just like your brother Ibaka, you are definitely a tough guy, good, boy, I think I will definitely meet you in the NH in two years."
He was so polite, Chamberlain was just a little complimentary. This is really good physical fitness, but it is not that you can get into NHA with a good body. In NH, there are so many amazing men who can't even protect water dispensers. Speaking of the summer league, there are actually such exciting men the most.
Although Chamberlain is not an NH spokesperson or the first person, his statistical power is vaguely the best in the league. In the hearts of all inside players, he is a god, so he was excited by his praise. He held Chamberlain's wrist and said, "Brother, I will definitely not let you down. I will work hard and work very hard. I mean, although I am only playing in the fourth league in Spain, I will definitely strive for self-improvement like you."
Chamberlain nodded solemnly, Biyongbo got on the Warriors' bus with joy, and then Chamberlain grabbed Ibaka and asked, "You have played in the Spanish League before, right? Which league are you in? What does this thing mean?"
Ibaka laughed and said, "I am in the first-tier league. The Spanish league is divided into four levels, and the intensity of the competition gradually increases from the fourth level to the first level. The fourth level is the lowest level league."
Chamberlain's mouth twitched, was this kid coming to NHAf to gain knowledge? But old Nelson recommended him to participate in the Long Beach Summer League. Is this kid very potential?
The players got in the car, and Chamberlain also sat on it. Curry asked in surprise: "Why are you here too?"
Chamberlain shrugged and said, "I am studying with the prince. You are the captain now. You can arrange it. I will only look at it and not talk. Also, I will only stay in Long Beach for one day and come back tomorrow. My training camp is not over yet."
Curry was overjoyed, and he knew that Chamberlain was here to hold him up.
Long Beach is a city located in the southern part of California, the West Coast of the United States. According to population ranking, it is the second largest city in the Los Angeles region, second only to Los Angeles and the fifth largest city in California. Like Oakland, Long Beach is also an excellent port, and Longdee Port is one of the top ten ports with the highest throughput in the world.
The hotel booked by the Warriors was a holiday hotel. The players went in to rest. Acting head coach Nelson Jr. booked a room on the "Marry Queen" cruise ship. One was to invite the players to dinner, the other was to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Long Beach, and the most important thing was that he had to arrange tactics.
The "Merry Queen" cruise ship was delivered and used in 192. In the 8th, Laiser Co., Ltd. bought the management rights of the ship. The company spent a huge sum of US$1.06 million to decorate and renovate, so that it not only has a small banquet hall that can entertain about 2 people, but also a lobby that can accommodate more than 106 people for people to hold large receptions. This cruise ship has become the business card of Long Beach.
Chamberlain browsed some information about the summer league. The Asian factors of this summer league are quite obvious. A Japanese defender joined the Suns to experience the atmosphere of the NH seventh match. A rookie selected by the Bucks this year was named Joe Alexander. This kid actually attended high school in Beijing and was nicknamed Chinese boy.
The Warriors came late. There were already four games between eight teams yesterday. The best performance among the rookies was his guy Griffin. This guy scored 2 points from 13 shots, and there were 2 rebounds. This dispelled people's doubts about his No. 1 pick, while the second-tier Tabit didn't play much.
Although the Grizzlies won, Tabit only made 2 of B shots. As a center who relied on the attack at the basket, such a shooting percentage is almost unforgivable. Even though Tabit is not a player who mainly scores, the defensive data such as rebounds and blocks he relies on for survival are also very average this time. He played - he only scored 4 rebounds and 1 blocks in one minute. Such data makes it impossible for people to associate with the previously claimed second-generation Mutombo. Although his performance on the court is slightly better than the data reaction, it can still be described as a sluggish one.
Chamberlain roughly looked through it, and then focused on their opponent tonight, the Timberwolves.
It was also a coincidence that the Warriors and the Timberwolves had never been very good at dealing with each other, but the two teams met in the first game of the summer league.
The Timberwolves have selected many new players this year, but the most popular Rubio cannot make a fortune in the summer league due to a dispute with his Spanish old club. Their leading figure is No. 6 pick Flynn, and there are two rookies Henderson and Wayne Ellington, so the others are not well-known:
Point guard Bobby Brown, who was exchanged for the deadline of last season's winter trading, Olexi Pechelof, who had just traded from the Bulls, and Flynn's college teammates Paul Harris, Brewer, Carol, Green, Hill, Kutz, Serra, Woodside.
The players all understand the relationship between the Warriors and the Timberwolves, so Nelson Jr. asked the players to win a good start in the first game. In this game, Curry and Marbury took the lead one after another, and there was no need to cooperate. The players had the opportunity to show themselves, but they could not play randomly.
Nelson Jr.'s arrangement sounds simple, but it is actually very nonsensical. What does it mean to not cooperate and play by yourself but you can't play by yourself? For basketball, playing by yourself is to play by yourself, so this is a very good job as a point guard in the school. As long as he can suppress the rhythm and allocate the ball reasonably, Nelson Jr.'s requirements are easy to achieve.
The Warriors and the Timberwolves game started at 8 o'clock, which is a more suitable time because there are more fans watching the game at night.
In the summer league, there is actually no need for the name of their team, because the Lakers originally organized this league for amateurs. Professional players want to show themselves and then participate in this game, gradually became a warm-up match for each team. However, some customs have been preserved, such as players can not play in the team's name and give themselves a name.
"What are our names more impressive?" Curry, as the captain, showed his democratic side and asked the players to come to the referendum.
Ibaka, who is more extroverted, smiled and said, "How about you call a crazy demon? We are a group of demons who climbed up from hell, let our opponents terrify and wail.
Morrow rolled her eyes and said, "It's too stupid. No, this can't be passed."
Ty Gibson looked at the seniors and said cautiously: "How about the wolf pack? We'll tear our opponents apart, and we're united."
Marbury, who was relatively silent along the way, laughed when he heard this, and said: "The Wolf Pack is the nickname of the Timberwolves. They use this name in the summer league or charity games. Believe me, because I have been there for many years. If we want to destroy the Timberwolves, we will be called the Wolf Slayer for so long, but this may not be very humane."
Curry made the final decision and said, "Go to the fuck, let's call Wolf Slayers, let's go, brothers, we're going to play, Boss Marbury, you're the starting point guard, go and get rid of our opponents."
Although Nelson Jr. is the acting head coach, he doesn't care. Because this summer league is mainly to hone Curry, he handed over all the tactical command to this second-grade rookie.
If Iverson was the main shooting guard that the Warriors could not play last season, then this season it was the main force rather than the iron. The Warriors began to train Curry.
Marbury didn't expect Curry to give up the starting position to him. He looked at the boy in surprise and nodded and said, "I will do my job well."
The Warriors' starting lineup is: center, Ibaka; power forward, Ty Gibson, small forward, Blair; shooting guard, Morrow; organizational guard, Marbury, CI Watson and others also want to play, but they dare not say anything, because Chamberlain has been staying in the corner.
The Timberwolves' starting lineup is: center Paul Harris, power forward Olexi Pechelov, small forward Brewer, point guard Joni Flynn, and shooting guard Green.
Sure enough, the Timberwolves' team was named Wolf Pack. When he heard B revealing that the Warriors were the Wolf Slayers, the Timberwolves' boys were so angry that they were born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. The fans laughed. They obviously guessed the meaning of the Warriors' name and knew the tricks between the two teams.
The people who jumped the ball were Ibaka and Pechelov. The latter was a typical European long man, 2.13 meters tall, superb shooting skills, solid basic skills, good physical coordination, but average explosive power, and the jump ball was not advantageous. Ibaka picked the ball to Marbury when he hit the ball first.
Although Marbury is older, he is actually capable. In order to join the Warriors, he has maintained high-intensity training since the Celtics were eliminated. Jonny Flynn is full of confidence. He feels that he can be selected in the sixth place, so he must be the pride of heaven. Isn’t it like playing to deal with Marbury who can’t even get a veteran’s basic salary?
Flynn was very bold. After Marbury drew the ball to the frontcourt, he reached out to take the ball. Seeing this, the cold light flashed in the Lone Wolf's eyes, and a hideous sneer appeared on his face: These junior boys are so rude now, and they have to teach them how to behave.
Flynn reached out to steal the ball, Marbury pretended to be busy, and the former's eyes lit up and pressed his whole body up. As a result, Marbury's left hand holding the ball quickly pulled back, then turned around and changed hands, holding the ball in his right hand over Flynn, and quickly broke through to the inside.
It was so fast, Flynn was shocked, Marbury's speed surprised him.
There is almost no defense in the summer league. After Marbury broke through, he was smooth all the way and just entered the penalty area to pick up the basket. But he didn't do that. When he was in the middle, he subconsciously slowed down. Harris came up to defend. Ibaka immediately went from the penalty area in the middle. Marbury threw the ball on the ring. Ibaka stomped his feet and jumped up. He received the ball with both hands and left his back to the ring. He pressed his arms behind and smashed the ball into the ring.
The opening game was so beautifully cooperated and air relay. The fans immediately applauded excitedly, and some people screamed. After all, it was indeed a bit worthwhile to see such a game with a ten-yuan ticket.
Flynn wanted to take revenge, but Marbury tangled him from the backcourt. It was true that Lone Wolf was old, but he was actually very strong and had a sharp vision. He made accurate predictions again and again, constantly blocking Flynn's breakthrough route. Flynn wanted to change direction, but Marbury quietly gave him an elbow. Flynn retreated in pain, and Lone Wolf broke the ball with one hand.
"Fast Attack" Marbury shouted, leaning down and pounced forward like a cheetah.
"It seems that Stephen is in good shape." Chamberlain said to Nelson Jr.
Nelson little smiled and said nothing: "If he can't even stand these little guys in the summer league, then why do we still have to sign him?"
Chamberlain thought about this and changed the subject: "I have never understood whether Minnesota's uniformed team is cerebral palsy? Oh, don't get me wrong. I have no intention of insulting cerebral palsy, but I really didn't expect that there are even stupider people who can choose a point guard in the fifth pick next season, and then choose another point guard in the sixth pick, and how did this point guard enter the lottery?"
Nelson little shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't understand," he thought about it, and said far-fetchedly, "Did the Timberwolves' uniform group climax in the quarterfinals of 2nd League Championship? It's just a game, it's too accidental, but apart from this game, I can't imagine why this kid can enter the lottery zone."
In March this year, Syracuse University and the University of Connecticut fought 6 overtimes in the quarterfinals of 8 of the Big 2 League Championship. Syracuse University finally defeated Continental, which was the top NCA list at the time, at the time of 2117, and the biggest contributor to Syracuse's victory was Flynn.
In this magical game with Kangda, Flynn played a crucial role. Flynn, who was unable to make sure to play due to injury, insisted on participating in the battle. As a substitute, he played almost all the time (70 minutes in the game), scored 34 points, 1 assist and 6 steals, Flynnn was definitely the first hero to win in Syracuse. While Kangda still maintained its advantage in the fifth overtime, it was Flynn who broke through the inside and made two fouls and made two free throws, making both sides fight to l10-l10; and led Syracuse to a 17-point attack wave in the sixth overtime, and finally won in this marathon.
The Warriors have studied Flynn. In fact, although Nelson and Chamberlain kept belittling him, the Warriors were also quite fond of him. This kid has many advantages, such as a strong competitive spirit, a big-hearted player, and a jumper shot that is still being developed. He has outstanding confrontational ability among the strong point guards, and has certain advantages among the players in the backcourt this year. However, he was selected by the Timberwolves, and Chamberlain and the Timberwolves are notorious for misconduct, so don't expect to hear any positive news about the Timberwolves from him.
