Basketball: Man in 08, three months left before the Olympics

In the past year, the UAE has had a really bad time in the NBA.

Originally selected by the Bucks with the sixth pick, such a start is enough to fill him with expectations.

But with the Bucks, he wasn’t taken seriously enough, and “Team Boss” Reed had unlimited firing power on offense.

Also due to cultural and personality differences, the UAE felt that he was very lonely there.

This also led to a decline in his desire to perform on the court towards the end of the season, and eventually, the Bucks traded him to the Nets.

The UAE is well aware of its own problems, these problems, when he was in the national team, the senior Dayao also communicated with him.

But language, culture, character these things, for the UAE, may have been born dead, want to change, it is difficult.

From the Milwaukee Bucks to the New Jersey Nets, it’s just a change of city, a different group of teammates, and the essence will not change much.

The UAE had thought more than once about returning home, returning to his familiar CBA, and ruling the basketball league of the Dragon Kingdom with familiar teammates.

However, he also knows that his top talent and the title of “the number one striker in the Dragon Country” are the expectations of hundreds of millions of Dragon Country fans.

It is expected that he will represent the Dragon Kingdom in the NBA and spell out a piece of heaven and earth there like his predecessor Dayao.

For this, the UAE must persevere!

And when the news of his trade to the Mavericks came, the UAE couldn’t believe it.

He couldn’t believe it was true because at the Mavericks, in Dallas, there were his compatriots.

The teammate Pei Yun who once played alongside him in the Olympic Games and led the team to incredible achievements.

In the bottom of his heart, the UAE defined Pei Yun as “God”.

A few days ago, he just heard that the league issued the “Pei Yun Clause”, and Pei Yun renewed the contract of the calf with a salary.

Happy for him.

Now, the UAE is actually going to be on the same team as Pei Yun, how excited he is!

That night, he hurriedly said goodbye to the Nets and boarded a flight to Dallas.

Pei Yun and Cuban personally arrived at Voss International Airport to pick him up.

“UAE League, long time no see, you are strong again!” Pei Yun showed extraordinary enthusiasm, and as soon as they met, he gave the UAE a big hug.

The UAE also showed a happy smile from the heart in a rare foreign country.

Kuban’s enthusiasm is no less than Pei Yun’s, and he is full of expectations for Long Guo, a young powerful power forward.

Although the UAE’s position on the court may be in conflict with Nowitzki’s, his excellent rim and offensive ability and good shooting give him more possibilities.

Pei Yun also discussed with the management, and he believes that the UAE can play from the third position to the fifth position under some specific circumstances.

And the Mavericks have already looked at the performance of the Dragon Country men’s basketball team in the Olympics.

In fact, the performance of the UAE is very efficient, and his blocking with Pei Yun is the most used tactic by the Dragon Country men’s basketball team.

It’s just that the UAE’s solid mid-range shots and occasional breakthroughs under the basket are covered up by the radiance of Pei Yun.

In addition, at the end of the day, the UAE was also the sixth pick in the first round last year, although his sluggish performance in his rookie season made him questionable.

But after the identification of the professional scouting team in Dallas, on the whole, the UAE still has great potential, and the problem is only how to stimulate his potential.

Obviously, Pei Yun is the prerequisite for unleash his potential.

Trading famous point guard Devin Harris for the UAE is a completely mediocre operation in the eyes of the outside world.

ESPN gave the deal an A+ rating, with the Nets giving it an A+ rating and the Mavericks a C-.

From this can also fully see how bad the UAE’s reputation here is.

But Kuban is just willing to gamble, he has already gambled on Pei Yun, and he doesn’t mind gambling another UAE.

When the two Dragon Kingdom players gathered, the first thing they did was not to find a Chinese restaurant to have a good meal, but directly to the training hall of the American Airlines Center to start the communication on the court.

The essence of these two training madmen is undoubtedly prominent.

Cuban felt that he had gambled right, at least in terms of professionalism, Pei Yun and the UAE were better than the Josh Howard who only used contraband and ruined his talent!

…………

“UAE League, I haven’t seen you for more than half a month, and your confrontation is much stronger!”

In a set of heads-ups, after the UAE turned around and pushed Pei Yun, he hit a rebound to score.

Of course, this ball Pei Yun did not go all out at all, otherwise with his full-level [Confrontation Strengthening] effect, the UAE would not be able to resist him.

However, the UAE’s ability to play against is actually above average in the NBA, but usually in the game, he does not like to play physically.

For Pei Yun’s praise, the UAE smiled happily: “To be honest, Pei Yun, I’m so happy to play with you!” ”

The two have been practicing on the training ground for hours, and at this time, the UAE is full of sweat, but they are still doing various exercises on the field, and they are not tired of it.

“Me too, what a cordial thing it is to be able to communicate with my compatriots with Chinese here!” Pei Yun said.

UAE nodded, and it could be seen that he was really happy.

……

After the UAE’s reporting process, the two went to a well-known Chinese restaurant nearby to have a meal.

While eating, Pei Yun’s phone rang.

“Brother Pei Yun, it’s me, Dayao!” On the other end of the phone, came Dayao’s deep voice.

“What’s wrong, Brother Yao, you’re back in Houston?” Pei Yun asked happily.

“Just about to come back, I heard that the UAE has transferred to your Mavericks?”

“Yes, he and I are eating now, Brother Yao, or you can also transfer here and lead us to win the championship together!”

In Pei Yun’s eyes, Dayao is always a senior, a big brother, and there must be respect.

“Of course I want to, but it’s not that easy… By the way, why don’t we go to Las Vegas! On the other end of the phone, Dayao suggested.

“Las Vegas? Brother Yao, you mean, we’re going to the summer league? Pei Yun asked.

“Yes, Sun Xindui is playing the summer league there, didn’t I say before, if you want to organize everyone to get together, you will just take him, how?” Dayao made a suggestion.

The UAE heard it from the sidelines, so he made an OK gesture.

“Okay, Brother Yao, the UAE also agrees.”

“Then we’ll see you in Las Vegas!”

————————

During the second half of each NBA summer offseason, before the start of the preseason, three summer leagues are held in different locations.

The summer league is actually an NBA “test the waters” league prepared for the rookies in the season, which plays a role in warming up the rookies.

Most of the players who participated are also players who have not yet played an official NBA game and are ready to set foot in this league.

Of course, there will be a small number of second-year students who choose to find their status here.

The focus of the audience will obviously be on those high-pick rookies, and this league is also the place to test their quality in advance.

And the most famous of them is the summer league in the casino Las Vegas.

Pei Yun and Cuban reported the incident, but Cuban was going to go together, just as Coach Carlisle and his rookies were also going there to play summer league, and he stopped by to observe.

Of course, Cuban also mentioned additionally: “Casinos and nightclubs in Las Vegas, Pei Yun’s age can’t go, but if there is Cuban, the situation is different.” ”

It was clear that the owner was planning to take them there for a hi pee.

Of course, the Cuban also had other ideas.

For now, the Mavericks want to trade Dayao from the Rockets for Dayao without a ride with Nowitzki.

But that doesn’t mean the future isn’t possible.

The Dragon Country men’s basketball trio, perhaps a foursome, gathered in Las Vegas, and Cuban felt that he should be in that place.

After all, when he was at the Dragon Capital Olympics, he personally sat on the sidelines and witnessed how the Dragon Country men’s basketball team, with the Dragon Country four-person team as the core, killed the invincible dream eight team.

The trip was quickly completed.

In Las Vegas, Pei Yun Allian first met Dayao.

Dayao, a dusty servant, had just arrived from China, and the long journey did not make him show fatigue, on the contrary, he was very happy to see his compatriots and meet his teammates on the national team.

Dayao: “Congratulations, Pei Yun, for signing such a big contract.” ”

As soon as they met, Dayao gave Pei Yun congratulations.

Pei Yun expressed his gratitude and chatted at the airport for a while, and Cuban came to pick up the three in an ultra-luxurious extended Lincoln.

He has booked a luxury hotel for the three people, and the Chinese restaurant has also been decided.

Cuban said he liked to eat Chinese food and never got tired of it.

Soon, he and Dayao started talking, both of them were very sociable, and the meal was quite pleasant.

During the day, the four watched the Mavericks’ summer league first.

This season, the Mavericks didn’t have a first-round pick, and they didn’t find any players to look forward to in the draft.

Watch the summer league just to cheer for your own team and Carlisle.

But the next summer league is more to watch.

Lakers vs. Bulls.

It’s also a game that fans pay the most attention to.

Because in this game, this year’s top pick, Derrick Rose, known as the strongest physical point guard, will usher in his debut.

The whole world is watching this talented teenager with a strong physical fitness and an extremely violent and flowing playing style.

Pei Yun, Dayao, UAE and Kuban are of course looking forward to it.

And for the Dragon Kingdom trio, there is another layer of meaning.

In the Lakers’ roster, their compatriot, Sun Xindui, also from the national basketball team, will also make his debut.

The purpose of the three of them here is to cheer on rookie teammate Sun Xindui who came to the NBA and get together here.

Obviously, the Los Angeles Lakers, with their peak Kobe and Gasol, as well as Bynum Odom, are one of the strongest teams in the league and are the favorites for the championship every year.

Sun Xindui can join such a team, of course, many people envy.

But like the Mavericks, their excellent results prevent them from picking too many good players in the draft.

The summer league almost became Derrick Rose’s solo show.

Among the rookies, Ross’s windy speed and exaggerated playing style made the spectators on the sidelines exclaim time and time again.

Snap! Snap! Or a violent buckle!

If he can dunk, he will definitely not choose a layup.

Every breakthrough, Ross ended in this way, and the audience was too addicted.

Looking at the talented Ross, the talented Cuban smiled, and he asked the three Dragon Kingdom masters beside him: “What do you think, how do you think this year’s champions are?” ”

Dayao was the first to say: “It’s too powerful, this bounce, this speed, if he rushes to the basket and doesn’t prepare in advance, I don’t think I can stop it!” ”

UAE also added: “He’s a ruthless guy, too strong, he’ll be a superstar.” ”

For their statement, Cuban deeply agreed and nodded.

And looked at Pei Yun, looking forward to his evaluation.

Pei Yun shook his head: “The talent is very good, but his style of play is too easy to get injured, if he does not change his style of play, his career will be very bumpy.” ”

Pei Yun’s words did indeed say something.

Both Dayao and Kuban have a deep understanding.

Although Dayao does not run and jump like this, he has accumulated a lot of injuries in recent years.

Not to mention playing like Ross.

And what about the Kuban, who has seen many geniuses fall due to injuries in the league over the years, and those geniuses who consumed their talents without scruples when they were young are more likely to have such problems.

Only the UAE has no such view.

He couldn’t empathize with it, just because he was young and in good health.

It is precisely “the youth does not know what it is like”.

And because of this, Pei Yun’s “maturity” is even more obvious.

He was only 19 years old and already knew this truth, which made Dayao and Kuban feel more at ease with him and a little more appreciation.

Only the kind of extremely intelligent players will start planning their career path early in their youngest and frivolous age.

The final result is, of course, that the Ross show exploded the audience, and Sun Xindui’s performance was remarkable, which cannot be said to be amazing, but at least it is not bad.

At dinner, Sun Xinwei took a leave of absence from the Lakers and joined in.

Kuban said very appropriately that he had something to do, and gave up dinner time to the four Dragon Kingdom hands.

And told them that he had arranged the second half of the evening, and when they had finished dinner, they must go over, and Cuban led them to enjoy the late night life of Las Vegas drunken gold fans.
