56. A Barking Dog Does Not Bite
In the morning, as in the past six days, Curry was called by Sun Ce to go for a run together just after dawn at five o'clock in the morning, and it ended at half past six.
At 7:10, I left the apartment and took the bus to the Oracle Arena. I started training before 8:00.
When the two of them came, Old Nelson had already arrived.
Standing in the aisle and watching the training of the two rookies for a while, I am very satisfied with Curry's shooting talent, and Sun Ce... It's just an experimental product selected by the team's management's needs and instinctive whim as a scientist. OK.
It is already very good to be able to select a rookie like Curry with the seventh overall pick. This year's draft is good, but thinking of the situation of the team, the old Nelson sighed.
There is really no way. Although Oakland is located in the Bay Area, it can’t attract stars. It didn’t catch a big fish this summer. Instead, it went to Jamal Crawford. Just yesterday, Crawford and the Eagles Reached a two-year 20.36 million big contract, and left.
The Warriors can't pay this price, and they don't want to stay because they want to play in the playoffs.
Yesterday I was able to agree with what Curry said that I want to play on the same team as Sun Ce. The old Nelson’s starting point is that the two have trained together for the longest time. Crawford is gone. Sun Ce, a breakthrough point guard, may be a team player. will need more.
Of course, we need to look at the performance of the next team games and summer league before we can make a final decision.
Moreover, Old Nelson's own handsome position is not very stable. It's just that the boss gave him face. After all, he is a well-known old coach in the coaching world.
On Curry's side, training with Sun Ce feels both fear and admiration.
Physical fitness, Sun Ce is not as good as him, but Sun Ce trains himself to death every day, and he is alive and well when he gets up in the morning for a morning run. Curry feels that after a long time, he really can’t keep up with Sun Ce’s crazy energy every day... Sun Ce's talent, people must have some advantages...
...
"Very good, Noah, your progress is very good. You have already mastered how to train and start. You will continue to maintain this kind of training every day and spend at least two hours a day practicing. Your running talent is awesome! How about it? Don't think about changing careers to practice sprinting?"
"Can you win the world championship and make a lot of money?"
"Haha, you still have a chance in the Asian Qualifiers."
"roll roll roll……"
After arguing with Hassan for a while, Sun Ce and Hassan hugged each other. Hassan packed up his things, went to the finance department to settle his salary, and then left.
Thinking of the past week, Sun Ce felt very fulfilled.
The starting posture has been found, but it needs to be practiced well and requires hard work. His goal this summer is very simple, four aspects.
Develop the speed advantage, practice layups better, practice the combination of man and ball better, and at least practice free throws and close-range shots.
But that's after the summer league.
In the past few hours, when Sun Ce was training, many people had already come to the arena.
I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again. After saying goodbye to Hassan, Sun Ce found Curry and went to have lunch together.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we found that there were already more than a dozen people.
Sun Ce took a look and found that the Warriors had four second and third-year players under contract, third-year CJ Watson, second-year Anthony Randolph, Anthony Tolliver, and Anthony Morrow. There is a man named Reggie Williams. Sun Ce has the impression that he was the undrafted pick who was waiting in the same training ground as him during the draft.
There is actually a veteran who has been in the NBA for more than ten years, a big center named Mickey Moore.
However, most people don't have any impression of Sun Ce. It seems that he should be a player in the Development League or playing overseas in the summer and wants to use the summer league to re-enter the NBA.
There are also small groups among the players.
As soon as Sun Ce and Curry arrived, Anthony Randolph greeted the two of them: "Hey, Stephen, Noah, come quickly, there is a place for you."
Sun Ce and Curry are a little confused, they don't know each other!
But the team's second-year seniors called them, and they passed by immediately. They were so enthusiastic, they didn't want to hit the smiling faces.
This table happened to be three Warriors players under contract.
"Anthony Randolph, ability evaluation B- (peak), averaged 7.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in the 2008-2009 season...
Anthony Toliver, ability evaluation D+, averaged 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in the 2008-2009 season...
CJ-Watson, ability evaluation C+ (peak), averaged 9.2 points and 2.7 assists in the 2008-2009 season...
Anthony Morrow, ability evaluation C+, averaged 10 points and 3 rebounds per game in the 2008-2009 season... three-point evaluation A..."
It may be that they have already been judged to be teammates or opponents. Sun Ce wanted to see the ability evaluation of the four of them, and he could see it.
Watson's data and abilities are already at their peak... Sun Ce feels as if he has seen the future... The invisible future is not scary, but the visible future is scary...
While Sun Ce was looking at the four of them, Anthony Randolph was also teasing these two "training madmen". It has spread in the Warriors team. They chose two training madmen to train at 8 o'clock in the morning The kind until six o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone is not a very good player. Curry is a high pick but not favored. Some media are already saying that the Warriors have selected the next Adam Morrison. Sun Ce... is just a second-round pick. People think that the Warriors are for the illusory Chinese market, but the facts have proved that, except for Yao Ming, no one else can bring the so-called Chinese market to the NBA.
The combination of Anthony Randolph and Anthony Tolliver as an inside substitute is actually not very satisfactory. Anthony Randolph is okay, his physical fitness is excellent, but his technique is too poor, but he can be considered as the six in the room. Personally, he is the best at the moment; Anthony Morrow is not easy. He lost the draft and won the world with three-pointers. He just got a one-year contract extension of $740,000; Mi Lingsan's short center was even more unsatisfactory.
The three corners of Anthony are very friendly to Sun Ce and Curry, but there are also unfriendly ones.
"Practice every day, do you practice for the coach? A useless guard from China, a diabetic, it's useless to be selected without strength." CJ-Watson is not targeting a certain person, but targeting the two rookies present.
Sun Ce was very upset when he heard this. Before he had time to think about it, he felt that the elementary school student next to him was about to stand up angrily, so Sun Ce quickly pulled him down.
"Adam Morrison's successor", this is the nickname Curry hates to hear the most, even hate!
Being dragged by Sun Ce, Curry calmed down a little, but he didn't reply a word, and stared at Watson fiercely, as if he was going to bite someone.
A dog that can bite can't bark, and a dog that can only bark barks fiercely, but it is usually very timid.
"I've lost my appetite, you guys can eat." Watson said with a proud look and left.
Embarrassing, Anthony Randolph didn't expect this to happen.
Anthony Randolph, as a physical player with almost no skills at all, was still able to become a lottery pick in 2008, replacing DeAndre Jordan, the original member of the small green house, which is enough to prove how popular his height is. ...
Anthony Randolph is not worried about the lack of playing time. His physical fitness is very good. Just now Sun Ce saw that his speed is B+, and his bounce is S... This is a power forward of 2.08 meters! His physical fitness was no worse than the Stoudemire Sun Ce had seen before!
Anthony Randolph did not regard the two new guards as enemies. On the contrary, his pie-eating inside line needs the pass from the guard. To build a good relationship, Morrow also needs the pass from the guard to run and shoot. With goodwill.
But I didn't expect Watson's point to be so bad for the two rookies.
At this time, Sun Ce stopped teasing Curry and said, "Stephen, haven't you noticed?"
"Huh?" Curry was very dissatisfied with Sun Ce pulling him.
"The barking dog is afraid, afraid that we are coming, and he will be driven away if he has no playing time. You can see that he barks so fiercely, but he is scared away when he sees your fierce silent expression."
"A dog that can bark? Noah, your adjectives are so funny...wait! Are you saying I'm a dog that can't bark?"
