The Celtics' training camp started, and Yang Shuai walked out of the rental house, and then went directly to the TD North Shore Garden Arena. He hadn't been here for a while, and his usual training was at a place near his rental house.

It has been almost two months since the end of the summer league. During this time, the team has undergone great changes. As soon as Yang Shuai stepped into the training hall, he found many new faces. Some of them he did not know who they were, while some Although he has never dealt with people, he still knows, such as Kevin Garnett.

This is the first time Yang Shuai has seen the famous Garnett. This big black man who looks a little skinny is constantly practicing shooting. Beside him are the other two big names of the team, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, Yang Shuai discovered at this time that he was the last player to arrive.

"This rookie is really late!" Garnett muttered after glancing at Yang Shuai from the corner of his eye, but Pierce didn't say anything, so he couldn't say anything. If he was in the Timberwolves, he would definitely sarcastically Fan.

In fact, Yang Shuai didn't come too late, but today is the first day of the training camp, and many people came early.However, if they knew that Yang Shuai came here after training for two hours, they would definitely admire him.

"This is a very interesting rookie." Pierce just came to Garnett's side, remembering the scene where Yang Shuai knocked Gomez down and yelled at Telfer, he said with a smile.

"Oh? How interesting?" Garnett looked at Pierce suspiciously, but Pierce didn't answer directly. He shook his head and said, "Kevin, you'll find out, and, I think you'll like this kid."

"Yang, what are you doing standing here?" Yang Shuai felt someone pat on his shoulder, turned his head and found that it was head coach Doc Rivers.

Yang Shuai chuckled and said, "Coach, you came just in time. I'm getting to know my new teammate." After signing the contract, Yang Shuai finally stopped calling Rivers by his name directly. He always thought he was being polite. people.

"Yang, you haven't been here for the past two months, don't you practice?" Rivers questioned.

Yang Shuai responded confidently: "Of course not, coach, I think you will soon notice my change."

Indeed, when Yang Shuai started to warm up, Rivers noticed his difference, "This guy's shooting seems to be more accurate."

If Yang Shuai's shooting was only at the level of a third-rate outside player who just entered the NBA, now his shooting is close to that of a second-rate outside player, at least from the open shots during training.

"Yang, you really are a guy who will surprise me." Rivers nodded secretly.

After the training in the team started, everyone in the team was surprised by Yang Shuai for the first time. In addition to defending Pierce very well, this guy was also very active in supplementary defense and assist defense. , Ray Allen, and Garnett have the upper hand.

The front line composed of Yang Shuai and Garnett completely suppressed Pierce's offense from inside to outside. On the offensive end, Yang Shuai had four open shots and hit two of them.

The match in the team was over, and everyone got to know the new members. The Celtics have seven or eight new faces this season, from players to coaches. This time, everyone is familiar with them.

"Good job! Boy." Sitting in the team's locker room, Garnett said carelessly to Yang Shuai, because Yang Shuai's locker was at the corner, right next to Garnett's.

As Paul Pierce said, Garnett started to like the rookie a little bit.On the court, he has a desperate posture, the spirit of never giving up when defending, and the continuous trash talk. These are his most prominent characteristics, and now, he has also found it in Yang Shuai.

"Yang! Yang Shuai, Yang! Please don't call me a kid, if you don't want to be called an old guy by me." Yang Shuai glanced at Garnett, and then said word by word, his physical strength is only intermediate, long The high-intensity confrontation over time made him a little tired.But when he spoke to Garnett, he was full of momentum.

Garnett's character determined that it was difficult for him to tolerate people talking to him like this. With his eyes bulging, he sneered and shouted: "Boy, do you think that being able to defend with two hands is the capital of arrogance? Look at your current It looks like a soft-legged shrimp."

"Old man, I will definitely not be a soft-footed shrimp on the court, but you, maybe you can't climb into bed anymore. Considering that we are teammates, I will buy one when the next payday comes." Viagra is for you." Yang Shuai responded bluntly, and what was even more exasperating was that there was still a hint of disdain and lecherous smile on his face.

"Bastard, are you provoking me?" Garnett stood up abruptly and growled at Yang Shuai.

The people in the locker room looked at the sudden conflict with astonishment. They couldn't figure out why the two suddenly started arguing. Just when Pierce was about to go up to persuade him, the handsome guy Yang stood up suddenly and punched him next to him. on the cabinet.

"If you dare to say it again, you will definitely understand what it means to be full of face."

"Touch!" The solid wood cabinet was smashed by Yang Shuai's punch, and the sawdust flew out and splashed on Garnett's body, which made the wolf king startled, but then he became furious.

"Are you threatening me?" Perhaps Yang Shuai's actions just now had an effect, and Garnett didn't say the word bastard.

"Enough!" Pierce hurriedly stood between the two of them at this moment, but an accident also happened at this time. A group of reporters rushed in and pressed the shutter desperately.

Surprised Rivers followed them. It turned out that he had been interviewed by reporters and was about to bring reporters to the locker room to interview players. This scene happened unexpectedly.

Then it became very interesting. Yang Shuai and Garnett glared at each other, Pierce tried to persuade the fight in the middle, and the cabinet on the side was smashed. All this shows that some interesting things must have happened in the middle, and the reporter Obviously, such an opportunity will not be missed.

"Kevin, what happened here, did you have a conflict with this newcomer?"

"Dude, you're just a rookie, why would you have a conflict with a superstar like Kevin?"

"Paul, what the hell is going on with all this?"

The reporters asked questions from Garnett to Yang Shuai, to Pierce and Ray Allen, basically everyone in the locker room was asked by them, but the players also knew that they should not say anything at this time, so no one said anything. When it comes to what happened just now, even the two parties are silent.

"Damn, this guy Yang is really a headache." After finally inviting the reporter out of the locker room, Rivers said with a headache after recovering. There are so many new members in the team this year. If the fighting power of the team is united, the team's goal will not be achieved.

"Okay, guys, the farce just now is over. But..." At this point, Rivers' voice suddenly became severe, "No one can destroy the unity of the team. If someone does something like this again, As long as I'm coaching for a day, I'm going to have him on the bench."

"Yang, I think you need to learn how to better unite your teammates!" In the private conversation with Yang Shuai, Rivers' tone was also not too polite.

"Okay, coach, if others don't take the initiative to provoke me, I won't provoke them again." Yang Shuai replied with a smile, but from his expression, Rivers couldn't see any guarantee. .

The Celtics players all realized at this time that although Yang Shuai is a rookie, this rookie is not easy to bully. Not only is this rookie not easy to bully, this rookie is even a bit crazy.

Rivers talked with other players separately, and after making sure that none of these people had too many emotional fluctuations in their hearts, he was relieved.In fact, conflicts between players are normal in the NBA. As long as it is a small-scale conflict that does not affect the overall situation of the team, it is generally not taken too seriously.

But even so, the news of discord in the Celtics locker room still appeared in the reports of major media. The reason is of course that the Celtics with the Big Three are the focus of the media at this time.

"The Chinese rookie and the wolf king's locker room have a big fight, the truth persuades the fight!"

All kinds of news once again pushed the Celtics to the forefront, and Yang Shuai's name once again appeared in front of basketball fans.

Yang Shuai's performance made many domestic fans hate him for not fighting for it. He finally got an outside player in the NBA, but he had a conflict with one of the team's giants before he played. What about his status in the team?

With such doubts among the Celtics fans, the NBA preseason has officially started, and all the media once again turned their attention away to those high draft players and superstars.

The preseason will not attract too much attention. After all, this is just a training game, and even many people in the team will not appear in the regular season.Even if someone pays attention, they still pay attention to the new stars and superstars of tomorrow.

Oden's season reimbursement, Durant's strong rise, Kobe still regards scoring as a bag, Adelman's Yao Mai combination, the Celtics' Big Three, etc., these things accounted for all the reports.As a result, Yang Shuai, who averaged 12 minutes per game, scored 48 points, 23 rebounds, 06 steals, and 07 blocks, did not receive so much attention, even if it was only paid attention to by some domestic media.

What makes domestic fans feel at ease is that Yang Shuai's playing time is extremely stable, and he doesn't seem to be left out in the cold.

During the preseason, Yang Shuai did not miss out on space training. Since he ate Xiaoqiang's flea, he started dunk training.

The first is the jumping. By the end of October, his jumping has finally reached an advanced level, and he has officially entered the dunk training.The coquettish and handsome guy Yang is going to improve his ability greatly before the start of the season, and then become famous in one fell swoop in the new season.

Although Xiaoqiang told him that with his current ability, it is impossible to perform too well, but Handsome Yang believes that as long as he improves his dunking ability and relies on his coquettish dunks, he will not be famous.

However, the full improvement of the dunk ability to the advanced level will not be until mid-November, and the regular season will start two weeks by then.
