Center first

Chapter 63 Preseason

The meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the life needs to be passed day by day. The three-month private training time is coming to an end in such a busy training, because Pat Riley's summoning call has already hit the old Chuck's mobile phone. The NBA preseason is about to start, and the Heat players are ready to assemble. The new season is beckoning to Lin Yi. His joint practice with the Miami Heat is about to start. This is also the time for him to get familiar with the team's style of play. Everything is in order Will enter the rhythm of the game.

Oakley and Olajuwon will also leave this little guy who has been tormented by him for almost three months. Lin Yi has lived up to the expectations of the two. His bench press has already reached the level of 130 kg. The 40 catties leap is not Adding and subtracting numbers is as simple as adding and subtracting, and his physical reserve has reached a fairly full state after being carefully conditioned by Old Chuck.

Olajuwon's dreamy dance steps have also become more proficient, no longer fascinated by that gorgeous posture, but more sharp and precise.Every move is more targeted, this is the essence of dream dance steps, and Dameng is even more gratified to watch this little guy grow up, until he can surpass himself one day in the future.

Parting is always sad, just like when Lambiel and Rodman left. Lin always has a heart of gratitude to these seniors who selflessly taught their skills, but they don't know how to express it. I can only try my best to ensure that I will not let them down in the NBA arena.

"Don't promise anything for us, remember to prove it for yourself, we may go to the scene to watch you play. I just hope that you can play what you have learned, and you have to learn to adapt to the NBA. The failure there Or, the fate is to be eliminated, even Jordan is no exception." Olajuwon warned Lin Yi earnestly.

The NBA is the highest-level basketball arena in the world, and it is also the cruelest.There are only footprints of the victors there, and the losers can only fade into people's minds with the passage of time, don't expect pity for the weak there.Only those who have experienced honor, disgrace and decline understand all the rules there. The advice of Dameng is just to remind Lin Yi not to try to be a good person in every aspect. Good people do not exist in the NBA.

"Starting from a rookie, you must remember to set your own mentality. You are no longer the core position. You must understand what you should do. The most important thing is to integrate into that team. Do you understand?" Olajuwon sent Lin Yiyi off In a word, the most difficult thing for rookies to get right is their own position. In the NCAA, every team is the trump card. Now it is actually a bit difficult for them to start from the bottom.

"A center is not a defender. I need the support of a team. I understand this." Lin Yi said to Olajuwon.

Oakley and Olajuwon left one after another, and even old Chuck and Lewis were about to return to their homes. Only Rogge, who had returned from abroad, stayed with Lin Yi.

In the past three months, Rogge has not been idle. The Beijing Olympic Games held in August brought together almost all the outstanding athletes in the world.Sports manufacturers, advertising and news media, and various sports agents all rushed to Beijing like blood-sucking leeches. The commercial value there can be said to have reached the pinnacle of a sports event.

The Miami Heat's summer training camp was also directly changed to a training camp for fringe players because of Wade's participation in the Olympic basketball game. .

Rogge also gained a lot from this business, including Lin Yi's two commercial agency contracts.As a No. [-] pick, Lin Yi's business activities are extremely rare, and it can be said that he is almost invisible.But Rogge is not in a hurry. If Lin Yi can make a name for himself in the preseason, then he can sit at home and watch the fax machine and wait for contracts to come in.After all, fame and strength are equally important in sports competitions, and Lin Yi's skin color can make a lot of sense.

Now Lin Yi is in a completely up for grabs position, he doesn't have to worry about having no buyers, he just needs to pick the biggest striker.Lin Yi can now be said to be his most important signing project in basketball. He will not let Lin Yi blindly represent him until he gets a good contract. Nike, Adidas, Reebok, such brands are his goals. The emergence of a potential stock will arouse the interest of these big businessmen.

Don't forget that this boy's No. [-] pick status and the potential market behind him are coveted by many sports giants for a long time. If used well, Lin Yi may be another key for them to open the largest market.

The belated preseason officially started a week after Dwyane Wade returned from Beijing. The Heat did not choose the first stop in the United States. In line with David Stein's global strategic intentions, the Heat The first match of the game was directly arranged in the beautiful Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Seeing Lin Yi standing in front of him again, Pat Riley was very satisfied with the child's changes. The once thin body had become stronger and stronger in the past three months. A child who knows self-discipline always makes him feel better. People are satisfied.

The Miami Heat are not the only NBA team to land in Barcelona, ​​another team that arrived earlier than them has already played a game here and is preparing to leave.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the luxurious division known as the Purple and Gold Dynasty, their experience of being nearly bloodbathed by the Celtics in the finals in the just-concluded season made the team's top star now full of aggression.

The two teams passing by at the airport looked at each other. Wade, who was walking in front of his head, waved at his teammates in the national team, the invincible "Peter Pan" in the league, but Pau Gasol looked at each other. To the tall yellow-skinned boy.

"Hey, Bryant, that boy is tall, maybe a few centimeters taller than me." Gasol said softly to Kobe.

"I noticed that he seems to be the No. [-] pick this year. It is said that he is from the country where we participated in the Olympic Games. Riley's selection should not be too bad. We will know when we play against each other." Kobe's eyes were just a little attention After looking at Lin Yi, he moved away. In his eyes, there was only one person on the Heat team who could be called his opponent, and that was Wade.

It is difficult for a rookie at the center position to arouse his interest. Only inside players at the level of YAO can make him pay attention. After all, this is the era of forwards and guards.

The two teams only had such a brief meeting at the airport, and then they went their separate ways. The hasty preseason game made each team dare not stop. This is the final preparation for the upcoming regular season. No one dares to neglect the warm-up.

The Heat team left the airport and stayed at the designated hotel. All the players began to recharge their batteries and wait for the game against Barcelona the day after tomorrow. No one wanted to consume their energy after a long journey.After all, that game will involve the starting and substitute arrangements at the beginning of the season. No one wants to be placed on the waiting list at the beginning of a season.Everyone stayed quietly in their rooms, trying to get used to the jet lag as soon as possible.

As soon as Lin put down his luggage, he simply tidied it up, then went to the waiter and asked where the hotel's gym was.This is the homework he set for himself. He is used to doing strength training every day, and he doesn't want to be lazy and relax because of the fatigue of the journey. That kind of inertia will gradually breed.

It wasn't until Lin Yi came to the gym that he realized that he wasn't working so hard alone.The top stars of the team, Wade and Marion, are already doing their own training. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and didn't say too much. Sometimes people don't need to say too much. Actions are actually more important than anything else. effective.

Looking at Lin Yi who has been doing bench press exercises, Wade also has his own evaluation in his heart.

"A hard-working guy, I hope he is a rookie who can be trusted. I don't want anything wrong with my vision."

The warm sea breeze in Spain is always so gentle, just like Miami. I look forward to a good start to the preseason.
