$1,070. What Is the Purpose of Playing Basketball?

Sun Ce felt that he was in the wrong place!

Claude, who was promised to have a cheerful personality and a hot temper, turned out to be coy.

Larry Sanders, who is said to have a withdrawn personality, is passionate...

Listening to Larry Sanders talking about his dreams of painting and writing books, he was overly enthusiastic...Sun Ce was very confused, is this because he has a withdrawn personality?

However, Sun Ce really felt that he could not communicate with Larry Sanders, and even had the idea of ​​​​turning around and leaving.

It’s so noisy!

Wait, Sun Ce thinks this is the reason why Larry Sanders is said to be withdrawn? Because no one wants to listen to his chatter and communicate more with him?

Being unwilling to communicate with others and others not being willing to communicate with this person sound different, but over time, they look the same!

Patience, Sun Ce asked: "Larry, can I take a look at your painting?"

"Of course." Larry Sanders enthusiastically picked up the painting he drew and showed it to Sun Ce. At the same time, he introduced: "This is Zach. His image is Kung Fu Black Bear. Yes, he is destroying Nice's empty stomach. …”

Sun Ce saw that the painting was actually a cartoon image, and the painting was really good! No wonder this guy gave up the idea of ​​​​Wu Congwen again.

This rhythm is wrong. This guy might actually make money after two years of playing and then run off to pursue his dream of painting.

However, this world is very realistic. Maybe in the beginning, some people bought his paintings and books, not because they looked good, but because he was famous... When he stopped playing and was not exposed, maybe no one would buy him anymore. Follow him and buy his works.

He is indeed a good painter, but Sun Ce believes that anyone who studies art can draw these paintings. There is no shortage of people with artistic talent in the world, but there are more people with more artistic talent... As for La Larry Sanders' talent for writing books. Sun Ce has never heard of any famous works by Larry Sanders. It may be the same. He has writing talent, but it is not as good as many people with more writing talent.

For example, Sun Ce once read a book called "Become the King of Football from Today". At first glance, it was the kind of self-talk written by a guy who thought he had talent for writing books. It was so poorly written that he ended up writing almost 6 million words. .

Having become teammates, Sun Ce still wants to see Larry Sanders have a good future.

After thinking about it, Sun Ce asked: "Larry, are you going to engage in art in the future?"

It's rare for someone to be so willing to listen to himself. Larry Sanders was in a good mood and responded: "Yes, when I make enough money, I will start creating!"

"..." Sun Ce was speechless for a moment, it was really like this, and he immediately continued to ask: "How much money is enough?"

This... Larry Sanders never thought about it and responded: "10 million?"

It would be nice to have a clear number. Sun Ce directly asked a question that struck a chord: "Do you play to make money and create? Do you create to make money?"

This question...Larry Sanders never thought about it, and it really confused Larry Sanders.

One of the most important reasons for playing basketball is to make money, but playing basketball itself also makes Larry Sanders like it very much, but he has a deeper dream of becoming an artist in his heart.

But when someone says that he plays basketball to make money and create art... he links the two things he loves most with money, and it's not a bad tone, just a normal questioning tone...

Larry Sanders was stunned.

Larry Sanders does have a certain degree of artistic talent, and this kind of people tend to think more. Before Sun Ce could continue, Larry Sanders thought of putting his creation before basketball. , It’s so shameful to use basketball to make money for creation!

People like Larry Sanders are generally relatively simple and have their own set of values.

Larry Sanders's value is that art is pure and flawless.

It's okay when it's not mentioned. He really plans to play basketball to make money to support his dream. After making enough money, he can concentrate on his creation.

But when it was mentioned, he felt really shameful.

Thinking of this, Larry Sanders sat down directly, regardless of the people or things around him, and began to enter thinking mode.

Sun Ce was still waiting for Larry Sanders to answer, and then asked further questions, trying to change Larry Sanders' mind. The other party actually sat down and held his head and stopped talking...

"Larry? Larry?"

No response even when called.

Larry Sanders begins to think about life...

Sun Ce was speechless - "How come our team is full of weirdos? Wait, it seems that my old Sun is also included?"

…

…

The reunion with the old teammates and the first meeting with the new teammates are over. There is no team training scheduled this morning. It is mainly individual training, small-scale training among teammates who have cooperated well, as well as Sun Ce’s physical test and Randolph’s weight loss train.

And today was originally a rest day. In the four days from the 28th to the 1st, the Grizzlies have already conducted a lot of team training, mainly on how other people cooperate with Sun Ce. It has not yet been time for other people to run in with Sun Ce. When it comes to the game, we must first let the newcomers know how to cooperate with Sun Ce, as well as the technical progress or changes of each player, and consider the lineup distribution. The preseason is the first stage of running-in.

After lunch, Sun Ce saw many players coming for trial training. Since their Grizzlies roster was short of one person, many people wanted to join, even if they got a training camp contract, even if they could only get one in the end. Whether they get a non-guaranteed contract or get laid off after the Grizzlies have a real recruiting target, many players with dreams just want to enter the NBA and try to show their talents and abilities, just for an opportunity.

Sun Ce continued to practice three-pointers and left-handed layups to consolidate his skills, and also show off his progress in top-arc three-pointers.

At the end of the first set of top-arc three-point training, Tim Hardaway counted his hits and made 81 of 100 shots... barely considered a top-notch level!

If he only practiced three-pointers in two years, Sun Ce's performance would not be very good. However, Tim Hardaway saw with his own eyes that Sun Ce only regarded practicing three-pointers as a "side job" at the beginning. He coached mid-range shots and high and low post shots. He has also mastered three-pointers by practicing, and has also achieved first-class level in mid-range shooting and low post. The mid-range shooting is even close to the top... Sun Ce started practicing these skills in the summer of 2010, and it has only been two years! He has practiced the most difficult high and low post shots to a first-class level and has become the main offensive method. Now three-pointers are tied together...

Moreover, Sun Ce's left-hand dribbling was originally bad, but now he is as good as his right hand, and he has begun to learn cross-step dribbling from him...

Tim Hardaway, who had been training with Sun Ce, was doubting whether he was considered a genius back then... It had only been two years since Sun Ce began to develop his skills! Is that human being?

Regardless of Tim Hardaway's doubts about life, Sun Ce continued training.

After an extra hour of shooting, Sun Ce was expelled from the training ground. David Fizdale and Bickerstaff Jr. tested the trial players at the home and away training grounds respectively.

Sun Ce didn't expect that he would be doing nothing on the first day after returning to the team! He learned from Yi Jianlian that it was just because he came back that his teammates came back to see him. It was originally a rest day. Tomorrow is the interview day. After the new league in the next two days, he will go to Spain on the 6th.

Sun Ce took out the team manual issued to him and looked at it. Their Grizzlies preseason starts on the 7th. They will first play a game against Real Madrid, then go to China, rest for 4 days, and play in Shanghai on the 12th and 14th. Chengdu, playing two Chinese games with the Bulls.

It is difficult to play games outside the United States, and the jet lag is troublesome, but Sun Ce also wanted to play a game in his hometown, so he accepted this arrangement.

It is said that through the China Game in Chengdu, Chengdu International Airport and Memphis International Airport will open new routes. In just a few days, people from their Grizzlies team may become the first batch of passengers to use this route. .

Return to Memphis for the next 5 games, playing the Hawks and Magic at home, playing the Magic and Hornets away from home, and finally ending the preseason by playing the Hornets at home.

After the preseason, the Grizzlies will not have a regular season in October. They will play the Lakers at home on November 1st to start the opening game.

By the way, Sun Ce took a look at the 2012 schedule. There were 13 games in November and only 14 games in December.

Sun Ce doesn't even want to look at the mid-to-late season schedule. The previous schedule is too loose. There is no doubt that the later schedule will be as tight as possible! Other teams have fifteen, sixteen or even sixteen or seven games in November and December.

Having surpassed the Mavericks, now the Grizzlies have become a weapon used by the NBA to increase ratings around the Chinese New Year!

This is quite good. As the defending champion, there will inevitably be some problems at the beginning of the new season, such as a relaxed mentality after winning the championship, a certain player's weight reaching a new high because of the championship, players declining and players improving, and the team structure needing to be adjusted. , some players leave, some players join and need to be re-aligned...

The defending team has many problems, so it needs such a loose schedule to cushion it. As for the tight schedule later...

Just as he was about to go home, Sun Ce was stopped by team staff and asked to go to the boss's office.

…

Robert Pera doesn't spend much time with the team. Most of the time he stays in San Francisco. He doesn't disturb the team members when nothing happens. He only comes back when there are games. He is a very special boss.

Sun Ce came to the office of boss Robert Pera, and Chris Wallace and coach Hollins were also there.

Seeing Sun Ce coming, Robert Pera hugged him enthusiastically: "Lord, congratulations on winning a medal in the Olympics."

"Thank you. Congratulations on winning the gold medal." Sun Ce's words were a bit sour.

Robert Pera didn't care either. He was indeed proud of his country's basketball strength. He didn't come back just to congratulate Sun Ce for winning the bronze medal. He was called back by the city hall yesterday.

After some pleasantries, Robert Pera said excitedly: "Lord, from tomorrow on, you are really our Lord of Memphis!"
