"Challenge the Gym Rat: Completed the Steve Nash workout for 12 days in a row."

...

After a day off on the 11th, on the 12th, the Warriors once again ushered in a preseason game against the Lakers.

He and the Lakers have to play three games in the preseason, and the last game is the last game of six consecutive away games.

After playing the Lakers today, I have to play the Clippers back-to-back tomorrow.

Unlike the previous two games, which tested the level of each player's ability, this morning's tactical meeting emphasized tactical movement.

When it comes to the game, it is basically other people who run, and if there is an opportunity based on tactics, they will vote for those who are close.

However, basically Ellis, who hadn't played enough yesterday, went to play against Kobe, who also didn't play enough on the opposite side.

Ellis and Reggie Williams, who were heavily used today, scored 61 points together, Ellis scored 31 points, Reggie Williams scored 30 points, and the two led the team to help the Warriors win 113-99 Defeated the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant with 37 points.

The Lakers are going to win the preseason...it's hard...the Lakers have lost three straight...

Curry's playing time is still stable, playing 28 minutes, mainly responsible for opening the space for Ellis and Reggie Williams in singles, scoring 11 points on 4 of 10 shots.

Sun Ce got 15 minutes of playing time.

Sun Ce didn't waste the opportunity, using Ellis or Curry's containment force, scored 5 points, got 3 rebounds and 3 assists by relying on his height and flexibility.

He scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 15 minutes, which is not bad.

It's a pity that the free throws are a bit short, only 3 of 6 free throws. The main reason is that he cuts too fast. When he goes in and receives the ball, the opponent's first choice is a foul. In the preseason, he is as arrogant as the inside of the Lakers. He is too lazy to think of a way to deal with Sun Ce. The cut, the direct foul, gave Sun Ce a lot of physical contact. He originally estimated that he could make 60% to 70% of his free throws, but he only made 50% of his free throws because of the confrontation.

...

The playing time is not too long. Although the next game will be consecutive away games against the Clippers, or back-to-back, but coincidentally, the Clippers' home court is also at the Staples Center, so there is no need to change cities. Sun Ce will stay after the game to continue Extra practice.

This time the Nash training method has increased the training intensity and the number of training items a lot. It has been almost four months since I got the Nash training method. Sun Ce is very used to training in the situation where his physical strength is close to the limit, and he completed it smoothly. According to the training arrangement of the Nash training method, as long as you go back to sleep, you can recover in the morning.

It's just that during training today, Sun Ce always felt a resentful look in his eyes... Turning his head and seeing the picture of Ellis training hard, he thought it might be an illusion...

...

...

On the 13th, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 91-77. Sun Ce scored 7 points and 5 assists in 18 minutes of playing time. He still mainly passed the ball, but did not grab rebounds.

Watson and Curry performed well today. Watson scored 19 points and Curry scored 23 points, helping the Warriors win three consecutive preseason games. The preseason record became 3 wins and 1 loss.

After playing four consecutive games against the Los Angeles team, on October 15th, the Warriors came to Sacramento to play against the Kings. The protagonist became Curry vs. Evans. Curry scored 21 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds in 30 minutes. Evans played 35 minutes, 9 of 16, 25 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists!

91 to 103, the Warriors ended their three-game winning streak by the Kings.

Sun Ce played 17 minutes and scored 11 points and 2 assists. Curry was very excited to see Evans. Today Curry is in charge of the game.

Sun Ce finally saw Evans' ability evaluation. As a rookie,

Evans' ability evaluation is A-level...an ability evaluation comparable to Stephen Jackson!

Thinking of the future of Evans, Sun Ce felt a strong taste called "the rookie is the pinnacle".

The playing time of each player in the preseason has gradually become stable, and the playing time of the 16 players in the next games is relatively fixed.

Ellis, Stephen Jackson, and Maggette basically only played half a quarter to one quarter per game.

Curry's stable playing time of about 30 minutes, although Biedrins made the old Nelson feel desperate, the old Nelson felt that he was unlucky to meet a player who withered after a contract year broke out and took a big contract, but 52 million in 6 years , It still needs to be used. In case the feeling is slowly recovered, at least more attempts are needed in the preseason. Biedrins' playing time has gradually increased to nearly 30 minutes.

Watson and Reggie Williams played alternately. One played, and the other had no chance to play that day's game. The Warriors are considering who to keep.

As for Sun Ce, he got 15 to 20 minutes of playing time in each game, which was very stable.

...

On October 18th, at 10 am, the Warriors arrived in Phoenix, the city where Sun Ce spent the longest time in the United States.

Not long after the Warriors arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in North Phoenix, Bill Duffy came to Sun Ce with a suitcase.

When he arrived at the hotel, Curry saw that Sun Ce and Bill Duffy seemed to have something to discuss, and left the standard room where he lived with Sun Ce.

"Noah, you've been doing well recently," Bill Duffy said, taking out four pairs of sneakers from the suitcase he brought, "Nike, Jordan, Reebok, Adidas, they all provided you with sneakers and potential new star sponsorship , the price is the same, 150,000 yuan, you choose a pair you like."

Sun Ce took a look and found that none of the four pairs of sneakers were the signature shoes of a certain star of these four brands.

Of course, these four sneaker brands don’t only sell signature shoes, there are many other sneakers. The craftsmanship of signature shoes and non-signature shoes is actually similar, but the signature shoes have more characteristics. Maybe stars will personally participate in the design. sell more expensive.

And these non-signature shoes also need to be promoted in order to sell better, so we have to cast a wide net.

Generally speaking, a rookie will get a decent endorsement fee. Wearing a certain brand of sneakers to play games can be regarded as the brand's first "trap" of the rookie. As long as the money is taken, the brand will have Priority right to renew the contract. If the rookie comes out and other brands want to recruit people, the brand that temporarily owns the rookie can renew the contract at the same price.

Of course, those who sign such a contract are basically not lottery picks.

The price difference between inside and outside lines is also relatively large. Inside lines usually start at $50,000, while outside lines start at $100,000.

Sun Ce picked up the Air-Jordan without hesitation.

Jordan of course! What he is wearing now is the Air-Jordan XX1 produced in 2006 that he bought in the summer.

"Bill, if I choose this, can I let them change to XX4?" Sun Ce asked.

"Of course, this is just a sample. You can keep these four pairs of shoes. The official sneakers will need them to measure your foot shape. You can ask them which pair of shoes you want. They will not limit us to only wear theirs. Sneakers, it’s just that when it comes time to shoot a commercial for a potential rookie, we need to be there,” Bill Duffy explained.

It is decided to sign Jordan's free new shoes for the time being. Bill Duffy's work today is over, and Sun Ce signs the contract provided by Air-Jordan, and it is over.

This kind of potential rookie contract is a very common contract. At least 30 contracts are sent out every year. Brands have become accustomed to directly giving contracts to agents.

After the work was over, Bill Duffy was about to leave when Sun Ce stopped him.

"Bill, do you think my performance is really okay? Why have my playing time decreased? And it's been more than ten minutes?" Sun Ce hesitated for a long time before asking this question.

"It's a good thing that your playing time is stable, Noah, it means that the team has a clear position for you, the next thing you have to do is to show your ability as much as possible within the determined playing time! ’ replied Bill Duffy.

"That's right! Thank you, Bill."

Sun Ce originally thought that his playing time was shortened from 26 minutes in the second game to 17 or 18 minutes in the next three games because his performance was not good enough. Unexpectedly, this was the case!

Hard work... finally got a certain harvest!

Then you have to keep the stable playing time you have got so far!
