I am Really an Insider

Vol 2 Chapter 82: Tedious summer

     August 15, Athens.

   The first game of Men's Basketball Group A of the Olympic Games, China VS Spain.

   In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming left the field for five offenses. After leaving the field, the scene was given to the leading Chinese basketball player.

   Then, I caught the scene of him throwing the towel on the ground angrily.

   "Compared with the Busan Asian Games, our team only changed the skin, but the heart did not change." Looking at the teammates who have no fighting spirit on the court, Yao Ming shouted.

  At this time, the Chinese team has fallen behind Spain by more than 20 points. Yao Ming graduated with five offenses, and there is basically no possibility of recovery.

   Spain is the world's best team, it makes sense to lose to them. As long as China plays well in the next few games, there is still a chance to reach the quarterfinals.

   But the fighting spirit and attitude of the Chinese team in the game made Yao Ming very angry.

   He felt that everyone didn't even want to fight for it at all, he just went to die with peace of mind.

   With this attitude, God knows if he can win the next few games.

  New Zealand, Serbia and Montenegro, Argentina, Italy...for these opponents, can the Chinese team dare to win?

   Yao Ming needs to see fighting spirit. He returned from the NBA and hopes to lead the national team.

   But he didn't feel the fighting spirit he wanted.

   So the little giant who became the leader of the national team at the age of 24 got angry.

   In an interview after the game, Yao Ming also said some angry words, which caused some unfavorable effects.

   At that time, Wayne was mentioned in the media immediately.

   There is no doubt that as a Chinese player selected in the NBA draft lottery zone, the fans were a bit disappointed that Wayne was not selected for the national team.

   Although Wayne could not participate in the Athens Olympics for many reasons, this still cannot prevent fans from fantasizing.

  Does the Chinese team really need someone to help Yao Ming share the pressure?

   Athens has just begun in 2004, and China still has a chance to comeback.

   But in Beijing in 2008, that should not be lost.

   Regarding Wayne joining the national team, not only reporters, but many related people, have begun to think about this issue.

   The first loss of the Chinese team and Yao Ming's tantrums have intensified in China.

   At this time in Indianapolis, all basketball fans care about only one person-Wayne.

   "It's great, great, Wayne's performance is really great!"

   When Mike Brown reported Wayne's performance in the summer league in Bird's office, the black coach with glasses was full of praise for Wayne.

   Half a month ago, the Rocky Mountain Summer League had ended, and the Pacers had an excellent result of 10 wins and 1 loss!

   The only losing game was defeated by the Bulls.

   On the Bulls side, the British combination of Lor Deng + Ben Gordon, the firepower is indeed fierce, and Wayne is hard to beat with four hands.

   In all other games, Wayne led the team to victory.

   Throughout the summer league, Wayne averaged 22.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.8 blocks per game, and 40.2% of three-point shooting. This was the best performance among all rookies in the competition, none of them.

   This is also the current Rocky Mountain Summer League without a championship or MVP, it's just a pure training game.

   Otherwise Wayne will bring two honors back.

   Wayne's performance not only made Mike Brown incoherent, but also made the Indian fans extremely happy.

   When Bird exchanged for Wayne with Harrington + Tinsley, the Indian fans were still a little worried.

   This is also because Bird is highly respected in India. If someone else makes such a deal, it is estimated that he will be sprayed into autism.

   And Wayne's performance in the summer league proved a sentence: "Believe in the big bird, and live forever!"

  So that at the end of July, when Wayne officially signed with the Pacers, Wayne’s news made the headlines of many local newspapers.

   The expectations of the Indian City fans for the No. 12 rookie are comparable to the No. 1 pick.

"Well, then, do you think he can really make a difference in the third position?" Bird is very serious. He has watched all the video of Wayne's summer league games, but he still needs to listen to Mike Brown's opinions. .

   Speaking of it, Bird himself was also a small forward under the guise of a power forward.

   Therefore, he is still very confident in Wayne's transformation.

"This is not a question of inadequacy! He is really the kind, the kind that is rare. He has excellent courage, although he is thin but not afraid of confrontation, the key is that the three points are reliable, more reliable than Artest Up!"

   Artest who is on vacation: "Meow meow?"

   "It's a pity that the opponent in the summer league is too weak to see his true strength."

   Seeing Mike Brown praising, Bird smiled.

   Is the summer league weak?

   Compared with the NBA, indeed, it's nothing.

   But compared with NCAA, it is not simple at all.

   The first 11 games of the transition from amateur to professional, it is really good to be able to play like this.

   After all, from a global perspective, the level of the summer league is not low to be honest.

  Many geniuses who have killed all sides in the European league may not be able to play in the summer league.

   Bird did not continue to ask, but looked away from Mike Brown and looked at the coach Rick Carlisle.

   Carrier and Bird are also an old revolutionary friendship, he understands with a look, so he immediately said: "I will use him, but it won't take much time at first.

   If he proves that he can, I am willing to let him succeed Harrington as the sixth man. "

   "Well, the sixth man, if possible, I hope he can be the sixth man next season. At the critical moment, I might as well let him try."

  At the critical moment, when Bird mentioned the word, the three old men in the office were silent.

   "Of course, I will give him a chance to prove his ability at critical moments." Carlisle nodded, this kind of test is very costly, because if you don't make a shot, you lose.

   But in the same way, if Wayne can really do it, really a big-hearted player, the Pacers will have a major shortcoming.

   "Very good, then, Wayne will swing between the third and fourth positions next season, we have to see how much he gains in the summer, and then decide his development direction."

   "Weight gain? Didn't we help Wayne gain weight?" Carlisle looked dumbfounded. Now Wayne should be on vacation.

"As far as I know, Wayne is training by himself in a training hall on the outskirts of India. Of course, he has hired a professional trainer, don't worry. When we see him at the end of September... "

   Bird looked at the ceiling and slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "He might be stronger than in the summer league."

   "By the way, Larry, about that deal..." Carlisle looked at Bird and asked about the latest deal.

   Like Wayne’s trade, the player Bird was talking about recently, if he can come, would definitely add a huge addition to the Pacers next season.

   "Oh, that. It should be almost done. They estimate that it won't last long. Wait up to 24 hours, and we will have the result."

   Bird nodded confidently. After a disappointing season, Bird suddenly looked forward to the new season.

  ※※※

   Wayne was crazy in the training hall. Because of the "Steel Body" badge, he began to ask Mancias to increase his weight.

  Mancias, of course, didn’t agree, and Wayne couldn’t tell others directly, “It’s okay, you just make me have a plug-in.”

   Therefore, under Wayne's hard work, the two decided that they could only gain up to 105 kg before the new season.

   About 3 kg more than expected.

   One summer, Wayne would gain 20 pounds!

  While gaining weight, Wayne's strength is also increasing. Before the start of the new season, it is certainly not a problem to train to the passing line of 60.

   When the time comes to level up, then use the growth points to add some strength, and then match the badge of "Tough Defense", the confrontation should not be crushed.

  While gaining weight, Wayne is also very careful to protect his feel.

   He is afraid that his shooting will be affected if he hangs too much.

   But fortunately, whether it is from the shooting training percentage or the attribute interface, Wayne's shooting has not decreased.

  Perhaps, once the attributes are added, it will not be affected by changes in factors such as weight.

   But whether the physical attributes will be affected, Wayne is not sure.

   At present, it has no effect, but will the rate of weight increase continue to decrease in the future?

   After all, his strength has always been limited by the "weight limit". This means that the attributes of the body type may not be increased at will.

   At noon, Wayne finished his strength training and walked out of the gym sweating profusely.

   Schwartz was envious when he saw Wayne.

   This young man is easy to get pimple meat.

   Look at his belly again... Schwartz fell silent.

   "Jeff, I've been waiting." Wayne greeted Schwartz at random.

   During this time, Schwartz will meet with Wayne two or three days later, and the two have gradually become acquainted.

   After all, Wayne has much more business activities than Okafor!

   "Do you not have a holiday? There is almost a month left, and the training camp for the new season is about to start."

   "There is no time for vacation, there are too many places to reinforce." Wayne panted, do you think he doesn't want to vacation?

   But there is no way, this system upgrade is too slow for him, he can only practice on his own!

   Wayne's dream is to enter the NBA, become a star, madly inhale white and rich, and go to the pinnacle of life.

  Although he has entered the NBA now, his dream is only the first step.

   Relax at this time, it is too unseeking.

After two years, he disappeared. That’s not what Wayne wanted~www.ltnovel.com~Well, just pay attention to rest..." Schwartz shook his head because he signed with the Pacers last month Because of the contract, Wayne now has a salary available every month in addition to the endorsement fee.

   There is really nothing to bargain about Wayne’s rookie contract. After the new labor negotiations, the league stipulated the rookie contract to the death.

   How much money can be paid for how many ranks, basically it can be said that the price is clearly marked. The team can't give less, and the players can't ask for more.

   Wayne's rookie contract is 4 years 7.89 million, and the third year is the team option.

   That is to say, the 3.4 million in the first two years, Wayne can securely get it. You can't get it for the next two years, so that whether there is a big contract in the future depends on Wayne's ability.

   Schwartz never expected that Wayne received his salary, and Quante devoted himself to training.

   I rented a gymnasium, found some trainers, and "tortured" myself so happily.

   "You said, there is an advertisement to be filmed in a few days?" Wayne rested for a while and chatted with Schwartz about his schedule in a few days.

  Schwarz certainly didn't come here to watch Wayne train.

   "Well, it's your first official commercial. So, I have to pause for training in those days."

   "Okay, no problem." Wayne must not take Nike's 28 million for nothing.

   "Then, I won't bother you. Take a good rest, and I will contact you in advance."

   After speaking, Schwartz got up to leave.

   At the same time, in Atlanta, the Eagles general manager Billy Knight can't stand it anymore.

   He picked up the phone and dialed Larry Bird's number.

   This time, count him as General Bird.
