Chapter 78 Rookie training camp, adventure at sea
On the afternoon of February 2, Duan returned to Los Angeles in the morning and took a nap at home. Then he dressed up carefully in a suit and tied to attend the rookie training camp officially organized by the NBA.

The day before the start of the All-Star Weekend every year is the time for first-year rookies to participate in the rookie training camp.

This year’s All-Star Weekend lasts for three days, on Friday the 13th, when the Rookie Challenge will be held.

On Saturday the 14th, in addition to the three retained programs of the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shootout Contest and Slam Dunk Contest, this year we also created the Shooting Star Contest.

Sunday, the 15th, is naturally the most watched All-Star Game during the All-Star Weekend!

"Brother, I'm already in Los Angeles! Come pick me up!"

Not long after Du En left the house, the car was still halfway when he received a call from Anthony.

Originally, Du En had made an appointment with Anthony and Wade to attend a rookie training camp together and go out to sea together after class to have fun.

"Wait for me at the airport, I'll be right over."

After receiving the call, Du En changed his itinerary and went to the airport to pick him up first.

Because it is a friendship between men, Anthony did not bring his girlfriend with him on this All-Star Weekend trip.

After Duan sent Anthony to the Staples Center, Wade also called Duan.

"Brother, I'm here, where are you? I can't wait to go to sea!"

"Dwayne, please call me Captain Doone!"

"Yes, Captain! Boatswain Dwyane Wade, request Captain Dunn to issue new instructions!"

"Please gather at Staples Center quickly, the Neptune is about to go to sea!"

Almost half an hour later, Wade, who was very handsome in a suit and sunglasses, appeared in front of Du En and Anthony.

"Okay, let's go to class first!"

After the three greeted each other, Du En suggested to finish the rookie training camp first.

The rookie training camp is carefully prepared by NBA President David Stern for the rookies who have just entered the NBA.

As early as more than 20 years ago, when Stern first became NBA president, he wanted to change the American public's inherent impression of the NBA as pornographic, gambling, drug-related, dirty, chaotic, and poor.

Especially when Jordan became the American dream and the spokesperson of the NBA, Stern hoped that NBA players could become a member of the high-class American class and become a glorious American dream.

In order to prevent black players from getting rich overnight, unable to control their desires, and start to dream of life and death, ruin their own future, and also cause a waste of NBA assets.

Every year before the All-Star Weekend, the NBA invites experts to teach first-year rookies.

If the rookies are willing to study hard, they will know how to face the media, how to manage money, how to get along with the team's veterans, how to market and create topics, and make themselves more famous...

However, the vast majority of rookies just ignore it, as if they have accepted a mandatory task and come here for a while.

"Hey, good afternoon, newbies, come on in!"

Dunn walked into an office with Anthony and Wade, and there were two experts on standby.

"Rookies, I know you are rich and promising, but when you get here, you have to listen to us, do you understand?"

"Sit down quickly, veterans of your team, haven't you been told how to obey?"

The two experts immediately made a show of force after Du En and the others entered the door.

It was also the first time for Dunn to participate in the rookie training camp. He didn't know what to do, so he could only look at each other with Anthony and Wade, and then sat on the bench obediently.

"I have your files here. I know that you are all talented and you will become the boss of your respective teams in the future!

You're going to be famous, you're going to have a lot of money, but right now, you're not mature enough, you're not tough enough!

Have you noticed?We just spoke a little louder, so you didn't dare to talk back, so you just obeyed!
If it was your opponent who spammed you, would you still accept it obediently?
If it comes to an important game and your opponent performs very well, but your performance is not strong enough and the score is behind, do you have to watch the game lose?
No, no, no, we shouldn't be like this!We must be tough, we must do our best, in every game, show a strong strength, a tough attitude! "

It turned out that the experts were not only trying to show off the Duen trio, but also had the intention of testing the Duen trio.

As the first expert finished speaking, the second expert continued: "Come on, tell me one after another, I am the boss of the team! You say it!"

The expert pointed at Anthony.

Anthony glanced at Duane and Wade, and then said loudly: "I am the boss of the team! New York is my territory!"

Anthony not only followed orders, but also processed them himself.

Because he has long been established as the boss of the New York Knicks, when Anthony said this, he was full of confidence.

"Very good, next one. Come on!" The expert pointed at Du En again.

"I'm the boss of the team, OK, make way for me!"

Dunn also spoke loudly, but the expert shook his head: "You are not confident enough, you must be tougher.

None of the bosses were given up by others, they were all snatched by one's own ability.

You should say to Shaq and Kobe, you two listen to me, the Los Angeles Lakers are my team!

I am the boss of the team, I will lead you to win, if you don't obey me, get lost! "

"The Los Angeles Lakers are my team, and I'm the boss of the team!"

After Du En listened to the expert's advice, he yelled loudly.

At this point in class, Dunn probably understood why Kobe wanted to compete with O'Neal for the top spot.

"I'm the boss of the team and I'm going to win a championship for Miami!"

Soon, Wade also roared angrily.

clap clap-

The two experts applauded, and then said: "If you are about to face Kobe or Iverson in the next game, and you are interviewed by the media, what would you say?"

"I am a fan of Allen, and I wear the No. 3 jersey because of him!" Wade answered truthfully.

The expert was not satisfied: "No, no, that's too polite, even if you think so in your heart, you shouldn't say that to the media.

You should speak out in front of the media!

I will use the next game to prove who is the best defender in the league!

I hope you can help me tell Allen that I will teach him a lesson!
I will limit Kobe to less than 20 points, and he will be blown away by me!

Only in this way can you create topics, gain greater fame and make more money. "

The expert roared and slapped the table.

Wade's cheeks, which were faintly beginning to develop, also bulged accordingly.

When the expert finished educating Wade and turned his attention to Du En, Du En muttered in his heart: "I seem to be self-taught without a teacher, right?"

"You and Kobe are teammates. You should know what kind of trouble Kobe is in now, right?"

It turns out that the expert changed the topic again, this time talking about how rookies deal with enthusiastic female fans.

Obviously, Kobe's results in the rookie training camp were not up to standard, and he was actually used as a negative example.

"Boys outside, you must protect yourself!
We are so tempting to girls who want to be famous and get money from us!
I've heard that even if you do something good, you should pack up your used balloons. "

Du En answered the expert's question, and the expert nodded and said: "That's right.

If you do get into trouble, you should inform your team and your agent.

It's not because of embarrassment, patronizing myself and hiding it, not saying anything.

The troubles that can be solved with money are not troubles. The troubles that NBA players need to avoid are mainly lawsuits.

If you get involved in a lawsuit, it will not only cost you a lot of money, but it will also have a huge impact on your reputation.

What's more important is that it takes away your energy, destroys your family, and makes you uninterested in playing football.

In fact, everything you get is because of playing the ball, so no matter how difficult it is, you must play the ball well. "

The two experts chatted a lot with the three of them, including locker room relations and investment and financial management.

The three of them even asked Du En to be careful about their agents, because the agents were not really aligned with the stars, but had their own interests.

However, the class time of the rookie training camp is not long, only more than five minutes in total.

After the rookie class, whether he can listen to it or not depends entirely on his own attitude.

Experts are not the real parents of the players, they just come to get paid.

Therefore, after giving lessons to Du En and the others, they did not stay in class for tutoring, and just waited quietly for the arrival of the next batch of rookies.

"Brothers, the great sailing adventure is about to begin!"

After class, Du En called the pier first, then drove Anthony and Wade into the car, and they were ready to go to sea.

Because it was mid-February, the temperature in Los Angeles was not high and the sea water was relatively cold, so Dunn did not prepare any banana boats.

However, there is no shortage of big waves on the beaches of Los Angeles, and the three of them can go with the waves as much as they like...
