I am so Accurate

During the halftime confrontation, Zhu Fangyu was not arranged to play.

Waiting for the full-court confrontation, the Lakers were divided into three groups as in the past, the starting group, the bench group and the bench group.

Zhu Fangyu was assigned to the bench group!

Zhu Fangyu was surprised and excited when he heard the assignment. He didn't expect that Jackson would really let him play!

Even if it was just a training match.

"Come on, this is your best chance."

Before the full-court confrontation training started, Sun Hao patted Zhu Fangyu on the shoulder and said.

Zhu Fangyu nodded vigorously.

The opportunity is in front of him, it depends on whether he can grasp it!

The first to start is the match between the starting group and the substitute group.

The only change in the Lakers' starting lineup compared to last season is that Malone has become Walker.

And after Walker was given a slap in the face by Jackson, he also honestly ran tactics on the court.

His only wave shot was caught and "educated" by O'Neill for a long time.

People have many habits, but most of them have a lot to do with the environment.

When he was in Boston, Pierce was Walker's best brother, plus he was the core of the team. The management didn't talk about him at first, he could play whatever he wanted.

Slowly, he developed the habit of wave throwing.

But when it comes to the Lakers, from the coaching staff to teammates, no one will condone him.

As a newcomer, he could only choose to restrain himself.

Of course, there is a more important point, playing with Sun Hao, he has an inexplicable sense of belonging.

Sun Hao encountered a playoff-level confrontation in the training match.

Opposing him was Gary Payton.

It's not that he hasn't played against Payton before, but this is the first time in a training match.

Facts have proved that Payton is the kind of person who "will show 100% strength as long as it is a game".

The small movements of the audience, the non-stop trash talk.

If this happened when he first entered the league, Sun Hao probably would have fought with him.

But Sun Hao, who is now mature, is obviously immune to these.

Moreover, Payton's defensive strength just gave Sun Hao the opportunity to show off his new "weapon".

A back hit turned around and hit back, knocking Jackson into a trance.

This is...Kobe is back?

Including O'Neal, their eyes widened.

But his idea is not the same as Jackson.

This guy Sun Hao has learned what Kobe is best at!

He went directly to hug Sun Hao's head and kissed him hard.

And he is now more sure that he is going to reconcile with Kobe.

Because Kobe is really not that important to him.

Resentment is because he cares in his heart, but he finds that he really doesn't care now.

Without Kobe, where would Sun Hao come from!

Payton, defending to the back, some Sun Hao can't move.

He is strong at defending the front basket, but the effect of defending the back basket is actually not that good.

This is also one of the reasons why he was always educated miserably when defending Jordan.

Jordan's strength is one thing, and he himself is a point guard is another.

Even in the 1990s, point guards with their backs to the basket were rare.

You encounter few in the game, so naturally you won't spend a lot of energy on research.

Moreover, Sun Hao is really smart in playing. Sometimes he turns his back to the basket and breaks through, sometimes he turns his back and leans back. Even Payton can hardly handle it.

After a confrontation match, it gave people the feeling that Payton was uncomfortable defending Sun Hao in the first half of the quarter, but Payton was blown away by Sun Hao in the second half.

After watching it, Jackson laughed habitually and became a KFC grandpa, because Sun Hao has double evolved again.

To paraphrase a sentence used by the media before: the sky is his limit!

After this quarter, what follows is the substitute group and the bench group.

Sun Hao was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, his eyes immediately fell on Zhu Fangyu.

Today's training session is the first time of the Lakers' training camp for the new season, and Jackson's focus is still on the state of the newly joined players.

Zhu Fangyu had to perform well enough to stay.

On the bench side, Payton, Christie, Horry, Kukoc, Anderson.

On the bench side, Louis Wei Williams, Damon Jones, Zhu Fangyu, Brian Cook and Mourning.

Mourning was assigned to the bench group, and Jackson obviously wanted to examine him alone.

The game started quickly, with the substitute group taking the lead, Kukoc's support, Horry's cut layup and easily scored.

The two haven't played together before, but at their age, a tacit understanding may only need a look.

Louis Williams broke through with the ball and made a throw, but was mercilessly bloodied by Anderson.

The same tricks that work in summer league may not necessarily work well in NBA games.

Even in training matches, there is a gap between the two.

In history, Lou Williams is not the type to play from the beginning.

The bench played a fast break, and Payton took the ball and attacked the frontcourt. On the bench team, only Zhu Fangyu retreated because he was standing at the top of the arc.

Payton made a beautiful slow three-step dodge layup.

Most people have the impression of Payton as a defensive champion, but in fact his offense is not bad, and his average score per game was close to or 20+ in the past ten years at his peak.

Zhu Fangyu was swayed away, but he didn't give up defending, but managed to cover Payton's...hand.

When the ball was covered, there was a forward movement, which knocked Payton down directly.

After falling to the ground, Payton stood up suddenly, pushing and talking trash to Zhu Fangyu.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Fangyu was not frightened by him. Although he didn't say anything, he pushed back firmly with his hand.

Payton did not expect Zhu Fangyu to do that at all, and was pushed directly to the ground for the second time.

This time Payton was completely furious, and when he got up again, he was about to fight Zhu Fangyu, and he also greeted Zhu Fangyu's mother earnestly.

Zhu Fangyu also waved his fist unceremoniously.

Seeing that the training match was about to turn into a brawl scene.

"What the hell are you doing!"

O'Neill rushed into the field and yelled at the two of them.

Sun Hao also quickly entered the field to hold Zhu Fangyu back.

He was not worried that Zhu Fangyu would be bullied, but that Peyton would be beaten...

The conflict was quelled, and then most of the Lakers looked at Zhu Fangyu strangely.

This is really the first time they have seen a conflict between a trial player and an official player.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for your national team teammate to stay."

O'Neill returned to the sidelines, turned to Sun Hao and said.

The NBA is a place where people love the world, and Zhu Fangyu is a little ignorant.

Sun Hao nodded with a wry smile.

He knew that Zhu Fangyu was tough on the field, but he didn't expect it to be so tough.

"Shua!"

But at this moment, Zhu Fangyu received a point from Williams and hit a three-pointer from the outside.

O'Neill froze for a moment, then reached out and rubbed his chin with interest.

After the two teams played, the bench beat the bench team 23 to 13.

Mourning, who is Jackson's focus, looks average.

This is also completely normal. Mourning is different from Walker and Payton. He hasn't played for a long time.

Damon Jones, the best performer on the bench team, scored 2 three-pointers and scored 6 points.

Zhu Fangyu scored a 3-pointer, and then Payton didn't score too much against the defense.

After the training, Walker, Payton, Mourning, Louis Williams, and even Zhu Fangyu, basically everything Jackson wanted to investigate has been inspected.

After training, Jackson announced the disbandment of the team.

But he didn't look for Zhu Fangyu immediately, but first called Peyton to his office.

"Do you think the team should keep Zhu?"

Jackson was taken aback by Payton's words.

The general manager and the head coach generally decide whether players will stay or not. It is better for Jackson to ask him directly for his opinion.

But this is also a Zen master, and many ideas are different from ordinary people.

"I'm fine with him staying."

Peyton's answer surprised Jackson.

He originally thought that Peyton would give Zhu Fangyu a good reprimand, and then object to what Zhu Fangyu left behind.

After all, the conflict in front of the two is not too small, if there is no O'Neill has already fought.

And his thinking is not complicated, Zhu Fangyu's performance is not bad, barely able to meet the requirements of the 15th person, but what he still needs to consider is the team.

Payton's role in the new season will be very important. If there is a conflict between him and Zhu Fangyu, which destroys the atmosphere of the team, the loss outweighs the gain.

So if Peyton has an opinion, he would rather not have Zhu Fangyu.

"I actually like that guy a lot."

Payton's next words made Jackson even more surprised.

"I have been playing in the NBA for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of players. There are many players of Zhu's type. I like this kind of tough guy, especially if he is my teammate."

Jackson smiled and nodded after listening.

Maybe it's Gary Payton.

They can fight you to death on the court, but they can also call you brothers and sisters off the court.

The premise is that you have to be as hard as me.

Let alone Zhu Fangyu's ability, at least in this respect, he has met Peyton's psychological expectations.

Jackson nodded, indicating that Peyton could go back, and asked him to call Walker by the way.

Zhu Fangyu hadn't left the training hall yet, he and Sun Hao were sitting there waiting for news.

When Payton was called, he felt half-cool.

When Payton came back, Walker was called again.

"I shouldn't be able to stay."

Zhu Fangyu said to Sun Hao seriously.

The two people Jackson called, both clashed with him during the training match.

"Wait, it's not too late."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

Originally, when O'Neill told him that Zhu Fangyu was useless, he felt the same.

But Jackson's name is Payton and Walker, so he thinks it's funny.

After all, if he really didn't care about Zhu Fangyu, why bother? Just let him go back.

After a few more minutes, Walker came back, walked up to Zhu Fangyu, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying that Jackson told him to go to the office.

Zhu Fangyu's expression became more tense.

I have to say that although no one is cowardly on the court, Zhu Fangyu is still a bit shy off the court.

"I really like this guy."

Sun Hao didn't know Walker well, so he didn't ask Walker what Jackson said, but he didn't expect Walker to speak first.

"Didn't you still not deal with him earlier?"

Sun Hao asked curiously.

"That's what I like, because you feel safe when you're a teammate with someone like that."

Sun Hao was taken aback for a moment.

But he nodded with a smile.

Walker's character is actually the same as Payton in some aspects.

In other words, that is the commonality in the character of many stars of the last century.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Fangyu returned to the training camp with a smile all over her face, and walked quickly to Sun Hao's side impatiently.

"I might be playing in the NBA!"

Zhu Fangyu couldn't hold back and said excitedly.

"Remove the word "possible."

Sun Hao stood up with a smile, he had already guessed the result from Walker's words.

"Well, I'm going to play in the NBA!"

Zhu Fangyu said cooperatively.

Sun Hao laughed out loud after hearing this.

In history, Zhu Fangyu is not that far away from the NBA.

Less luck, less opportunity, less self-discipline.

But now, he has one foot in the NBA.

"Don't be proud, set small goals for yourself, and strive to stay in the team."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

"no problem!"

At this time, Zhu Fangyu was also full of arrogance, and she was completely different from the front.

Sun Hao stretched out his hand and beat Zhu Fangyu's chest again.

He suddenly felt that Zhu Fangyu could really play a role in the NBA.

In the next few days, the Lakers tried out a group of players one after another.

And a week later, they signed non-guaranteed contracts with several of them, including Zhu Fangyu.

A 3-year full non-guaranteed basic salary contract.

This is what Zhu Fangyu received.

For fans who are used to seeing big contracts, this may feel rubbish.

But in fact, this is the path most bottom players in the NBA need to take.

From performing well in the summer league or other competitions to win a trial opportunity, and then performing well in the trial training to win a non-guaranteed contract, then standing out from the players with a non-guaranteed contract and successfully staying on the roster, and then performing to win the non-guaranteed contract. Guaranteed Contract Converted to Guaranteed...

The road that needs to be taken and the efforts that need to be made are beyond imagination.

You think the NBA is close to you because you are a fan. When you are a player, it is far away from you.

But Zhu Fangyu was still very excited.

Before him, only Sun Hao, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Battelle, and Yi Jianlian were able to sign contracts with the NBA.

Now he is the sixth, and as Sun Hao said, he is the first small forward.

Of course these... are not enough!

He wants to do what Sun Hao said, strive to stay on the team, and really make it to the NBA!

...

The Lakers' training went well.

Walker and Payton are still strong, and what you have to admire is Jackson's ability. Their character problems have been completely suppressed.

What is gratifying is Mourning. After regular training with the team, he gradually recovered his game state.

And because the Lakers' current lineup of power forwards is relatively weak, Jackson tried to let Mourning and O'Neal play the Twin Towers for a period of time.

This effect turned out to be surprisingly good.

This will be a surprise move for Jackson's new season.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is early October, and the curtain of the NBA preseason kicks off.

The Lakers sit at home and usher in their first preseason opponent, the Bulls.

This game is a preseason game, but it has attracted a lot of attention both in the United States and domestically.

In the United States, it is because the Lakers team has a full lineup for the new season. It is not an exaggeration to say that the new F4 is not an exaggeration, and even F5 is fine. Although it is a preseason game, it is also the official debut of the Lakers;

Not to mention in China, in addition to these, the Bulls have Yi Jianlian and Paul, who is very optimistic.

This is a preseason game, but not just a preseason game.
