Chapter 400 The Center of the World!
Seattle, the Sonics training facility, the Sonics' training camp for the new season came very early.
In the NBA, most team training camps start around September.
The Sonics' training camp starts on July 7.
This is not an arrangement between the team and Nelson Sr.
This is the Sonics player's own decision.
On July 7, Sonics players participated in the Las Vegas Summer League.
In the Las Vegas Summer League with a total of 22 participating teams including the Chinese national team, the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship.
Milicic won the MVP and FMVP of the game.
As an All-Star player, Milicic actually didn't go on vacation, but came to participate in the summer league, which was mostly rookies and undrafted rookies.
Not just Milicic.
The Sonics weren't supposed to come to summer league, but in the end they came along with Rondo, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, etc...
The Supersonics' main force and rotation last season, except for veteran Malik Rose, all returned to the team on July 7th.
It is unbelievable for a team's main players to take the initiative to stop vacations and participate in the team's summer league.
Whether it is the team's general manager Presti or the team's head coach Nelson, they are very satisfied and moved by the attitude of these players in the Supersonics.
Maybe only the team's new No. 2 pick, Durant, who has the nickname of "The Pot of This World" and "Du Shiwu", is very upset.
None of these main players for the Sonics.
He is the absolute core of the Sonics in the summer league.
For him, this year's summer league is very important.
As the most controversial No. 2 in history, he urgently needs a chance to prove himself.
Self-abandoned, he was favored by Yes unexpectedly, and he became the second place in the list unbelievably.
Regardless of how miraculous it was that he ended up with the No. 2 pick, now is the time to prove that he deserves the pick.
But who would have thought that the summer league originally belonged to rookies like them,
The main force of the supersonic speed came unexpectedly.
And in the face of the main force of the Sonics, no one from the other teams participating in the summer league protested.
"The main force of the Sonics is so rubbish, it is not impossible for them to participate in the summer league."
This is the attitude of the Las Vegas Summer League to these 'repeaters'.
These people didn't care, but his chance to prove himself was wasted.
In eight summer league games in Las Vegas, he was pretty poor.
He averaged 11 points per game in eight games as a starter and half as a substitute, shooting 38% from the field and a staggering 21% from three-pointers.
It doesn't matter if the average data is very bad, if he can perform well in the focus dialogue, he can accept it.
But in the focused conversation with the Grizzlies, he finally started and was finally set as the core of the team's offense by coach Scott Brooks.
He surrendered 18 points and 1 rebound on 5 of 19 shots.
Although the team won.
But he completely lost in the contest with Oden!
Although he and Oden are not in the same position in this game.
But Oden in this game didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine.
He always loves to come out to help defend him, which makes his offense quite uncomfortable.
In addition to Oden, those high-ranking rookies on other teams also love to target him.
That's one of the reasons he struggled so much in summer league.
In Las Vegas he played poorly.
His performance in the Rocky Mountain Summer League was even worse.
In the two summer leagues, after a total of 14 games, the average performance of 10.5 points and 2 rebounds per game is quite bad even if the shooting percentage is excluded.
Absolutely sorry for his second place.
Not to mention Oden's 25+10 average in 30 minutes per game in summer league.
He can't even compare with those of Conley and the others who are not as good as him.
Was targeted!
Not just being targeted by opponents.
Even his teammates are targeting him.
That damned Iron King!
"Rajon, Mo Williams and the Bucks have officially renewed their contract, 6 years and 52 million, you can rest assured now, the team's starting point guard next season will still be yours."
"Yeah, I never thought that Mo Williams would be willing to sign with the Sonics on a two-year full middle-class salary. For the sake of the All-Stars and a big contract, Mo Williams is really determined. This is giving up his annual salary of 4 million!"
"Rajon, now you know why you are so hated in the league, right? Your position is too coveted. You can't even make the All-Stars in such a position. You are the object of hatred for all guards in the league."
"Let's not talk about Rajan, don't you think that the contracts offered by the free market this year are a bit big?"
"Nocioni's contract with the Bulls is 38 million in 5 years, the Lakers and Walton's 6-year 30 million, the Mavericks and Stackhouse's 3-year 21 million, Morris Peterson and the Thunder's 4-year 23 million , the Mavericks and Devin Harris’ 5-year 50 million, how do I feel that Nick’s 4-year 25 million and Darko’s 5-year 60 million are a loss?”
"There are very few superstar free agents this year, and the teams that have space have left space for the team's renewal players. Compared with these people, Nick and Darko really deserve bigger contracts."
"Rajan, your hands are a little weak.
Little Nima!
Rondo's movements are still proficient, and the expression on his face is still unhappy.
He was a newcomer to the team last year, joining the 'Yes Team' and 'Team of Trash' a bit late, so it's okay to be bullied by these trash.
Why has a new player come this year, and he still serves these garbage? !
Why don't Ramon Sessions and Kevin Durant do this?
Forget about Ramon Sessions, this guy is not familiar with himself, and it didn't take long before he hugged Tucker and Barea's thighs.
Coupled with his online IQ, this guy has become the think tank of the 'Yes Team' and the 'Trash Club'.
Ramon Sessions has now been directly upgraded from a rookie to the leadership core of the "Yes Team" and the "Trash Club" in one fell swoop.
Let alone Ramon Sessions.
What's going on with Kevin Durant? !
Looking at this guy's awkward, stupid and lonely appearance, no matter how you look at it, he is an excellent target for being bullied, right?
But just because Durant's agent is Dean Simmons, you dare not touch him? !
Tell me, how did you treat the second master last year? !
unhappy!
Very unpleasant!
stare~
It was this familiar look again.
With his special sensitive physique, this kind of malicious gaze could not escape his eyes at all.
It's Rondo, the iron king again!
stare~
stare~
stare~
"Rajon, are you cross-eyed?"
What about cross-eyed Nima!
Didn't you see the second master calling that rookie who is not up to the mark? !
You rubbish, how dare you resist Second Master's education!
Waiting for the second master to become the boss of the supersonic speed will make you look good!
At that time, it will not only not pass the ball to you or pass the buzzer pass to you!
It seems that you dislike your high hit rate!
"Is it my illusion? Recently, I always feel that there are a lot fewer media reporters around us?"
"Has everyone's curiosity about us and KD dropped?"
"It's not that the interest in us and KD has declined, these reporters have already rushed to Bangkok!"
"No way, who would have thought that Yes could do such earth-shattering things in the Universiade!"
"If I had known this, I would have represented this year's American college team in the Universiade."
"The Universiade should be coming to an end soon, and Yes should be coming back soon, right?"
"Almost, according to the old Mr. Nelson, Yes should be back in mid-September."
On August 19, 2007, Bangkok International Airport.
On a special plane flying from Bangkok to Beijing, everyone's eyes were on that handsome and tall boy.
Not only his figure and appearance, but more importantly, the golden medals he held in his hand!
Not one, not two, not three, four, five, or six, a full ten gold medals!
In this year's Little Olympics, the Chinese delegation won a total of 43 gold medals, and he alone won ten yuan!
Of these ten gold medals, nine are also track and field gold medals for racially disadvantaged races!
In the 100-meter trapeze battle, he defeated British player Simon in 10.20 seconds to win the championship!
The 200-meter battle won another gold medal in 20 seconds 28!
In the 400-meter battle, he won the gold medal again in 43.36 seconds, and this is the third best result in the history of 400 meters, breaking the Asian record and the Universiade record!
In the 800-meter race, he won four gold medals with a time of 1:41.01. This is the best result in the history of men's 800-meter race. He almost became the first person to break the 1:41 mark, breaking the world record and the Asian record. Heshi Universiade record!
In the 1500-meter battle, he won the gold medal for the fifth time with a time of 3 minutes 25.45 seconds, breaking the 10-year-old world record of the men's 1500-meter race, and also broke the Asian record and the Universiade record again.
In the 3,000-meter obstacle course, the time of 7:53.02 broke the world record again. The Asian record and the World Universiade record won his sixth gold medal.
In the 5000-meter long-distance race, the score of 12:30.11 broke the world record for the fourth time, the Asian record and the World Universiade record, and won his seventh gold medal.
The 10,000-meter long-distance race, 26 minutes 11 seconds 11, broke the world record for the fifth time, the Asian record and the Universiade record, and won the eighth personal gold medal in this Little Olympics.
Half marathon, 57 minutes and 18 seconds, the first time a human being has run a half marathon within 58 minutes. This is also his sixth world record and his ninth gold medal!
Nine gold medals in track and field, six world records broken!
The first athlete in the history of the world's major games to win 10 gold medals!
The first athlete in the history of world athletics to win all short and long distance gold medals!
And in addition to nine track and field gold medals, he also led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the American men's basketball team led by Washington University NCAA champion guard Justin Dentmont 90-76 in the final, and won the first place in the World Series for the Chinese men's basketball team. A champion!
He is the focus of this Bangkok Universiade!
He is also the center of this 10-day world!
All the media and all the attention in the world are chasing him!
He is also the most special existence of the Chinese delegation of the Universiade.
Even the leader of the team has a special attitude towards him.
The only athlete in the delegation who can get first-class treatment!
Looking at that back, Zhang Peimeng's face was full of admiration.
He is the third place in the World Universiade 100-meter trapeze race.
As a sprinter, he knows all too well how difficult it is to juggle sprints and long distances.
In the history of track and field, there has never been an athlete who has both speed and endurance!
People with a good sense of speed run fast but have poor endurance.
People with good stamina don't run that fast relatively speaking.
In Zhang Peimeng's heart, this is a miracle in the history of Chinese track and field!
For this one known as the Chinese Miracle in Bangkok.
Whether it is him or the athletes of other delegations, they are really convinced.
Breaking the world record six times, and all of them are world records that have been dusty for many years, what does this represent?
This means that in next year's Beijing Olympics, he can easily win the championship!
Coupled with the third best result in the history of the 400-meter run, he can win 7 gold medals in the Beijing Olympics!
What's wrong with such a person getting a little special treatment?
Not to mention someone like Ye Si, even half of Ye Si is enough to be treated specially.
When Yess swept the gold medal, the leaders of the delegation were really happy.
Facing the silent plane cabin and the curious eyes, Ye Si didn't go to the first-class cabin, but found a random seat and sat down.
Seeing Ye Si sitting beside her, Zhang Peimeng's body was tense.
Stamina: 95/95.
After ten days of hard work, Ye Si finally completed the special tasks of upgrading the basic stamina.
After completing the Bangkok World Universiade, Ye Si's summer vacation strategy is also considered complete.
And it's perfectly done.
The trip to China is unprecedentedly popular.
The unprecedented success of the Asian Championships gave the Chinese team the nickname of the Asian Dream Team in one fell swoop.
The Universiade, an unprecedented sweep, ten gold medals are astonishing in the past and the present.
"Ye, Ye Si, hello."
"Hello."
Yess looked away from the system panel.
"I, I'm Zhang Peimeng, the third in the 100 meters, we have raced together."
"Well, I have an impression."
Ye Si participated in the World Universiade this time, and there were many events in the competition, so he basically had no time to communicate with his teammates or opponents.
The rush is quite serious.
Zhang Peimeng was dizzy when he heard Ye Si say that he had an impression of him.
All the way from Bangkok to Beijing.
It wasn't until he was about to get off the plane that Ye Si stood up beside him, so he hurriedly stood up.
"Yeah, Yeh!"
"Um?"
"I, I'm fine."
Ye Si looked at Zhang Peimeng suspiciously and got off the plane.
Looking at Ye Si's back, Zhang Peimeng gritted his teeth.
I didn't even have the courage to say something like cheering for the Olympics.
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is the dream of all Chinese people.
For this dream, he is willing to break his leg on the field.
However, he didn't even have the qualifications to break his leg in order to win the championship in the Beijing Olympic Games.
"Yes!"
"Yes came out!"
It's all black!
Looking at the reporters that seemed to be crowded in the airport hall, the other athletes of the Chinese delegation who were walking behind Ye Si stopped involuntarily.
Only the person who is like a miracle can see this kind of battle as nothing.
Absolutely all the reporters from all over the world here, right?
Zhang Peimeng was shocked.
At this moment, that miraculous figure seemed to be the center of the whole world.
