Chapter 116 A highly anticipated training camp match!

Chapter 110 The much-anticipated training camp game!

"For example, this game is just an informal game in the training camp, and it has already attracted so many reporters and spectators."

"This also means that once any of the five University of Washington players fail to perform at the level of strength they should have shown in this game, then they will inevitably face more violent public opinion pressure than previously touted."

Just like Reggie Miller said, the last day of Atlanta's rookie training camp ushered in a swarm of media.

Media from the United States, from Atlanta, from China, and from all over the world gathered in Atlanta on this day. I don’t know if I thought there were any Hollywood superstars in Atlanta today!
Over the past month or so, the reputation of the University of Washington's top five players has grown, and Xu Lang has been touted as a super rookie on par with LeBron James.

More and more media in the world are paying attention to this year's NBA draft.

It's just because Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, Brandon Roy and others have been training at the University of Washington before.

They seldom accept interviews from the outside world. As a result, despite the high popularity of the three, they don't appear too many in the media.

After two months of accumulation, the three of them appeared in a formal competition for the first time after winning the championship, which naturally attracted a lot of media attention.

"Hey, Xu Lang is here, Xu Lang is here."

As Xu Lang entered the arena, the media who were chatting on the sidelines immediately swarmed towards Xu Lang.

"Xu, Xu, what do you think about the outside world comparing you to a super rookie at the level of LeBron James?"

"Xu Lang Smecta, it is said that your ancestors seem to be Korean. Have you considered going back to Korea?"

"Xu Sang, do you think the NBA's rejection of Yuta Tianwo is discrimination against Asian basketball?"

"…………"

"Xu, LeBron James said that he was four years younger than you when he first entered the league, so there is no comparison between you and him. What do you think about this?"

After being violently surrounded by a group of reporters, Xu Lang's ears were filled with various voices, including English, Japanese English, Korean English, and curry-flavored English.

Fortunately, the staff of the training camp rushed over immediately and rescued Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, who was rescued, shook his head first, sobering up his blinded head that had been bombarded by various languages ​​just now.

The Atlanta training camp did not expect that this is a small game in the training camp that could attract so many media.

This caused the scene in the entire venue to be a little chaotic at the beginning.

"Look, Mike, this is Xu Lang's popularity, and this is why I chose Xu Lang instead of Joe Smith?"

Michael Gillon, one of the owners of the Eagles, came to the rookie training camp in Atlanta today to watch this much-anticipated game.

"It is conceivable that if we really get Xu Lang with the No. [-] pick this year, how much news and attention will it bring?"

Looking at the boss who looked like a teenager, Mike Woodson still couldn't help but say something.

"Isn't this equivalent to putting Xu Lang on fire? If he doesn't play the data and performance that people expect in his rookie season, then the consequences will be unimaginable."

"No, no, no, you have to trust my vision. I can be 100% sure that Xu Weiwei is at least an All-Star player. These pressures will only become the driving force for Xu to keep moving forward!"

"This is what I have learned from my accumulated experience in the NBA for so many years."

Michael Giron confidently interrupted Mike Woodson's worries.

"I hope so."

Mike Woodson looked at Xu Lang, who was under the spotlight and was overwhelmed by all kinds of flashing lights, and thought in his heart.

After the past 6 days, Mike Woodson has changed from a dissatisfied state to a romantic state!

And Mike Woodson, who had already started to take over as Xu Lang's head coach, watched Xu Lang warm up on the court with some concern!
The last game of today's Atlanta rookie training camp is the final, and it will be played in the Eagles' home arena, the Phillips Arena, which can accommodate nearly 2 people.

In the usual normal NBA games of the Eagles, Phillips Arena, which has never been full, is directly bursting today.

Today, the entire Phillips Arena has been covered by Chinese Americans. You must know that the number of Chinese Americans in the entire Atlanta District just reached 2006 in 10.

If people who don't like basketball are removed, the Chinese in Phillips Arena today may have included most of the Chinese fans in the arena!
"Not too many, as long as half of these Chinese Americans can continue to support the team in the new season, then the attendance rate of our arena will at least reach the top 3 level in the league!"

Looking at the crowd of Chinese fans, Michael Giron was already imagining the beautiful picture of the Hawks' season tickets being completely sold out after the start of the new season.

Today's game lasted 40 minutes, divided into two halves, and the two teams facing each other were Xu Lang's team wearing red clothes.

The team that Yi Jianlian and others belonged to wore blue clothes, and at the same time, the two teams were equipped with three substitute players. These three substitute players were selected by the two teams at the same time.

The three substitutes selected by the blue team are Aldridge, Shannon Brown, and Rudy Gay.

The three substitutes selected by the red team are James White, Pg. Tucker, and Quincy Dolby.

"Hey, why did Xu Lang choose a player who is likely to reach the first round!"

Obviously, the blue team has a stronger bench lineup.

Among the three players selected by the red team, except for Quincy Dolby, the other two members are in the second round of this year's draft rankings.

And Xu Lang, who chose these three people, naturally knows very clearly that if we only look at the overall strength and draft pick, it is obvious that there are many substitute players who are stronger than the three in the entire training camp.

But for Xu Lang, who wants to play an obvious suppressive performance in this game, what a substitute player needs is not how strong he is, but a substitute player who can better set off himself.

From this perspective, these three players are definitely the most suitable three substitute players for Xu Lang.

And Xu Lang knew very well that after the opponent saw that the three substitutes on his side still did not have a regular inside line, they would inevitably increase their efforts to attack the inside line.

And then it was time for Xu Lang to perform.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for investment, ask for monthly pass, all kinds of requests!
