Six Hundred and Eighty-Seven. I Just Said It Casually!

Sun Ce was startled. After a closer look, he found that the face looked familiar...

Jeremy Lin!

Sun Ce walked up to him. Jeremy Lin was dozing off. Seeing that Sun Ce was back, he quickly stood up and almost lost his balance. Sun Ce quickly supported him.

After supporting him, Sun Ce asked curiously, "Hello, I remember you. You are Jeremy, right? What are you doing at my door?"

"Three grams of oil, I am Jeremy Lin. Sorry, I came here with the team this morning. I wanted to ask you something, but you were not here. I was waiting for you here and fell asleep by accident." Jeremy Lin spoke English with a standard California accent.

"..."Sun Ce looked at Jeremy Lin speechlessly for a long time, which made Jeremy Lin's scalp numb, and then he opened the door.

"Come in and sit for a while. Have you had dinner? I think not. I asked my nutritionist to send an extra dinner."

Took Jeremy Lin to sit down in the living room, and Jeremy Lin did not refuse.

After Sun Ce sent a text message to the nutritionist, he thought of what Jeremy Lin had just said and asked, "Why did you come to see me? Are you playing away games? We don't have any games in the next two days! The next game is against the Knicks."

"I haven't entered the NBA yet. I'm playing for the Warriors' subsidiary team, the Santa Cruz Warriors in the Development League. Tomorrow we'll play against the Memphis Road Team at the University of Memphis's stadium." Jeremy Lin scratched his head.

He hadn't eaten since morning, and he was afraid of missing Sun Ce's time to go home. God knows whether such a famous star will go home to spend the night. The more he waited, the more tired he became, and the more tired he became, the hungrier he became. Then he squatted against the wall at the door of Sun Ce's house and dozed off.

He didn't have extra money to eat. When he went out to play away games, the team provided meals in cheap hotels. His salary for a season was only 13,000 US dollars, and it was paid weekly on average. His usual expenses in Santa Cruz were already stretched, and he occasionally had to rely on his mother to help him with some money. He would not easily spend even 10 cents when playing away games.

"Road team, oh, I remember, Grevis, Darrell, Sam and others often go there to play." Sun Ce Kidd's rookie point guard Grevis Vazquez, two rookie contract players Darrell Arthur and Sam Young need to go there to play for a long time to maintain their condition or hone their abilities.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce remembered a piece of news he had seen before, and he saw it only when he paid attention to it intentionally. After Jeremy Lin was selected by the Warriors, he was not given a contract, but chose to agree to retain his signing rights.

The content of the agreement is: retain Jeremy Lin's signing rights,

can help Jeremy Lin find an opportunity to play in the Development League, as long as Jeremy Lin is still playing in the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Warriors have the priority to sign.

However, this agreement is not very rigid, Jeremy Lin can choose to leave at any time, but he will also lose the opportunity to play in the Warriors Development League team.

It is not so easy to play in the Development League. For example, the Memphis Road team under the Grizzlies has players who are famous NCAA stars, and even members of the NCAA championship team. They have not been selected by the NBA, but still have the dream of entering the NBA. They are willing to spend their days in the Development League with low salaries and wait for opportunities. In case the main team has a large-scale injury, like the Warriors last season, there were only 6 regular players left to play. They have a chance.

It’s just that the Warriors’ health is so good this season that Jeremy Lin has waited for half a year but has not waited for the opportunity.

After a few casual greetings, Sun Ce asked: "What do you want to see me for?"

What’s the matter?

When Jeremy Lin heard Sun Ce’s words, he really didn’t know why he came to see Sun Ce.

Both players came from the Warriors, and both did not give up soon after being selected... Without Nelson, the Warriors selected Jeremy Lin, whose style was similar to that of Sun Ce who was just selected at that time. They had no idea how to use him. His flaws were too obvious. It was impossible to give him playing time and let him play randomly. Sun Ce was lucky. Ellis happened to be injured, and Nelson dared to play, so Sun Ce had a chance to stand out.

Jeremy Lin had no chance at all. He was sent to the Development League after the preseason.

This time he came to Sun Ce purely out of obsession, wanting to see what the difference between Sun Ce and him was.

He knew that there was a huge difference in strength. He had a chance to win the MVP in the NBA, but Jeremy Lin just wanted to meet Sun Ce.

Now seeing Sun Ce, Jeremy Lin really felt how big the difference between the two was.

Just the size was even more exaggerated than what he saw on TV!

Jeremy Lin didn't know how to answer for a while.

Sun Ce felt that the players of the same class and this year's rookies seemed to be afraid of him. He felt that he was not a bad guy! At most, he will fight with whoever offends him in the next game and often cheat and beat the opponent?

Is it that serious?

In addition to this, there may be a huge difference in status in the basketball world.

Sun Ce and Yao Ming have truly established their foothold in the NBA by relying on their strength. Others respect them because of their performance on the court, while Jeremy Lin is discriminated against in the Development League.

There are not many teams like the Grizzlies that are so tolerant of overseas players. In addition to the Grizzlies, only a few teams such as the Raptors, Spurs, and Hawks are famous for their tolerance.

Sun Ce looked at Jeremy Lin, thought about it, and probably guessed the purpose of Jeremy Lin's visit, and asked, "Do you want me to give you some advice? I remember you said you had something to ask."

When Jeremy Lin heard Sun Ce's words, he nodded quickly and responded: "I don't know what I should do. I have no direction at all. I played hard for the Santa Cruz Warriors and was better than everyone else, but I never scored. Opportunities in the NBA, but I don’t know if I should leave, and if I leave, I don’t know where to go..."

Unlike the original time and space where Jeremy Lin went undrafted and then looked for summer league opportunities, Mark Jackson and D'Antoni were impressed by him and signed him to play in their own G League teams. In this time and space, the Warriors selected him. As a second-round pick, the Warriors have the right to sign him. Naturally, other teams will not pay attention to a player who is not very concerned about him. There are so many NCAA players that even the MOP of the Final Four may not make it into the first round.

Listening to Jeremy Lin talking about his experience, Sun Ce was noncommittal and it was none of his business.

Moreover, Jeremy Lin is a stranger in Sun Ce's heart. His accent, personality, and culture are all that of an American. Jeremy Lin's experience has nothing to do with him.

Inviting Jeremy Lin to sit here is just because in my memory, Jeremy Lin eventually became an NBA player and eventually went to play in the imperial capital of China. He will play in the NBA for a long time in the future, and they will play against each other from time to time. I only invited him here out of courtesy. Come in.

But after listening to what Jeremy Lin said, Sun Ce felt as if he had delayed Jeremy Lin. Because of him, the Warriors wanted to gamble their luck and draft him, but they did not give him a formal contract...

Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "If you want to change, I think you can go to New York for a trial training. I have watched you since I was a child...ah, I saw you playing when I went to Boston once in college. I think You are very suitable for D'Antoni, you can go to him and give it a try."

"D'Antoni... Nelson... the Warriors assistant coach said that I am very similar to you in the summer league..." Jeremy Lin muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly stood up and said: "Thank you, Lord, I will terminate the contract when I get back. I’m going to the Big Apple!”

Jeremy Lin suddenly stood up and made Sun Ce jump. What he said shocked Sun Ce again!

"Hey, hey? I just said this, are you so decisive? Don't you think about it carefully?"
