Chapter 332 Symposium

San Francisco, San Ramon area.

Single-family houses are relatively common in this area.

At the beginning, San Ramon was an agricultural farming town, and gradually developed into a new type of city.

A brand new and modern residential community, a beautiful international standard golf course, the excellent primary and secondary education system and achievements known in California and the Bay Area, more than 50 parks in the entire city, and every household can reach the standard of walking to the park.

Qin Fei's new home in the Bay Area is a renovated and remodeled villa.

The first floor of the villa is spacious, with a kitchen, dining room, living room and family room. The layout of the entire first floor is relatively simple, with white furniture, goose yellow curtains, and emerald green sofas.There is the vitality of spring and the tranquility of summer.

Big brother Cummings brought Big Ben, Artest, O'Neal and others to Qin Fei's home.

A huge Spring Festival couplet hung at Qin Fei's gate.

The first couplet is "Great cause, prosperity of the country, 5000 years of grandeur, national rejuvenation shocking the century!" The second couplet is "The rise of China, the stability of people's hearts, the majesty of ninety thousand miles, and the peaceful development proud of the sky."

There are also two red lanterns hanging at the door, which has a strong Chinese style.

"This word is so beautiful, it seems to be tattooed on the body, so cool."

The relationship between Artest and Daben is very good now, Daben is stronger than Artest now, and he has a good heart. Artest asks Daben about some things he doesn't understand.

Big Ben is also a promoter of tattoo culture. As early as in college, he tattooed a "Big ben" on his arm, a mysterious Chinese character?

Daben thinks it's pretty cool. Many players in the NBA now have Chinese character tattoos on their bodies, such as the No. 96 pick and No. [-] pick in the [-] class.

In comparison, Qin Fei's body is clean, nothing.

In such minutiae, there are still some cultural differences between the two.

Several people sat on Qin Fei's sofa, and the huge sofa looked very petite.

"Come and eat some fruit."

Qin Fei couldn't clean such a big place by himself, so he hired a Filipino maid.

When the young Filipino maid in servant clothes brought fruit to several people from the kitchen, the eyes of the big bosses lit up.

Hourly worker, what do you think?

Qin Fei rolled his eyes. Given his stingy nature, he obviously wouldn't hire a full-time employee.

A part-time hourly worker is quite good. Usually, when Qin Fei needs it, he will call to come to work, and Qin Fei will go out to play away games, so there is no need for people to live in the house.

"I will also buy such a big house in the future."

Ron Artes was particularly envious of Qin Fei's mansion, and unabashedly expressed his desire for money.

In the NBA, all players are pursuing championships, but on the road to chasing championships, the degree of desire or emphasis on money is different.

Some people are high, some people are low, and some people have higher aspirations in the early stages of their careers, and lower aspirations in the later stages of their careers.

"This house is not cheap. If you don't have a middle-class contract, you probably won't be able to afford it."

Little O'Neill sneered from the side.

This made Artest a little annoyed when he heard it, and he gave O'Neal a small look.

The relationship between Artest and Big Ben is quite good, but the relationship with Jermaine O'Neal is not good. The main reason is that he can't get used to the high-ranking appearance of this guy who thinks he is extraordinary. Isn't it because he entered the NBA for two years and signed a middle class?What's there to be proud of, he's going to sign a man with the highest salary in the future.

Jermaine O'Neill really didn't show off by himself, after he said it, he felt that his words were a bit too much.

But he didn't mean to take back what he said, so he just said it, so what?

These guys are very individual, Qin Fei looked at the group of strong men gathered together, and thought that it was not easy for him.

"Where is Jermaine from?"

Qin Fei asked suddenly.

"Me? I'm from South Carolina."

"The basketball atmosphere in South Carolina is very good, and the University of South Carolina has always been synonymous with passion."

"Well, I didn't go to college."

O'Neal entered the NBA directly after graduating from high school. He was younger than Qin Fei and set a record for the youngest player in the NBA to enter the league.

After many years, this record was broken by a teenager named Bynum.

Speaking of skipping college and entering the NBA directly, there are his considerations and his prediction of the overall environment at that time, but judging from his development in the NBA in the past three years, O'Neal still has some regrets.

In fact, he should still go to college, maybe after college, his ranking will be higher.

No, it must be higher.

As long as the pick enters the lottery, it will play a completely different role on the team, and maybe the first few years of his career will be a completely different situation.

But he can't complain too much, Qin Fei's ranking is not as good as him, and he has grown to a place where he has to look up.

"Big Ben has become the team's starting center in the new season!"

Qin Fei shifted the topic to Da Ben and revealed some news.

This can't be regarded as a revelation. Anyone with a little vision can see that the Warriors will strengthen the big base and become the starting center for the new season.

Big Ben spent most of last season as a substitute for the Wizards and Warriors, starting a few sporadic games.

整个赛季下来，场均出战20.8分钟，贡献5分7.1个篮板1抢断和1.6次封盖。

In his first season, Ben averaged 5.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 0.3 minutes per game.

第二个赛季，大本场均16.8分钟3.1分4.8篮板0.9抢断和1.1次封盖。

Last season was Big Ben's third season.

The missing pearl in the draft has begun to gradually shine.

Although there are still some deficiencies in Daben's body, he has more shining points. If he hits the middle of last season, it is estimated that the Wizards may not be willing to trade Daben out.

Now that the Wizards have traded a big deal, I feel somewhat regretful.

"Starter"

O'Neal and Artest looked at Da Ben with envy.

Every player entering the NBA has to go through some stages, from the beginning rookie player, to gradually becoming the team's bench gangster, and then slowly accumulating the position in the mind of the coach, from the bench gangster to an important rotation, and then the team's seventh man, sixth man, and even becoming a starter.

An NBA player who can start is already a star that can be seen by the outside world. He is not an All-Star in the true sense, but a star in the league. He has a certain appeal and popularity.

That's why so many players aspire to be starters.

"The first start is just a starting point, and I'm not very familiar with Coach Rick. I haven't figured out what coaching style Coach Rick will look like. In fact, I don't have any idea."

After Da Ben finished speaking, he immediately got everyone's nods.

Veteran Cummings asked: "Coach Rick is strict? What kind of offense will he like? Long shot, breakthrough or mid-range work?"

Qin Fei spread his hands.

"I'm actually not very familiar with it, that is, before Coach Rick agreed to sign with our team, I went to his home in New York to meet him."

After Qin Fei finished speaking, O'Neal Jr. said, "Coach Rick is from New York."

He glanced at Qin Fei and said, "Coach Rick is a typical academic coach. When I went to the Trail Blazers, he was still working as an assistant coach in the Trail Blazers. That was his last season in the Trail Blazers."

"Is there still this relationship?"

Artest couldn't help but look up at O'Neal Jr. This guy has a round head and a brain. I didn't expect that he and Rick Carlisle had known each other for a long time, and he was considered Carlisle's old line?

So playing in the NBA for a long time is still a bit of an advantage, no matter what, a simple network has been established.

Qin Fei looked at O'Neal. In his memory, if O'Neal didn't come to the Warriors, he should have gone to the Pacers later, and then Carlisle was in the Pacers, and then O'Neal rose

"So tell me, what kind of person is Coach Rick?"

Big Ben urged Jr. O'Neill to go on quickly.

O'Neal pushed him impatiently, thinking, so are you here today to hear me tell Carlisle's story?The agreed-upon discussion and tea party turned into a gossip coach meeting?

He thought for a while, then said, "Coach Rick"

O'Neal's expression was more serious when he spoke, and even Artest couldn't help being attracted by him.

"like--"

"blue"

Everyone:

Little O'Neill himself laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

Artest had been upset with him for a long time, and he jumped up and suppressed his whole body.

"Oh! My sofa!"

Qin Fei yelled, what kind of sumo wrestling are two strong men over two meters playing on his sofa!

After tossing for a while, Jr. lost his strength and was forced to tell some things about Carlisle.

"The coach is a no-nonsense man, there's no question about that."

"Although Rick is young, he is really serious. He has a meticulous attitude towards the game and training, and he recognizes people who work as hard as him."

"In other words, if a self-disciplined person is in his team and can accomplish some things without his orders, then it will be easy to get his approval, and it will be more nourishing accordingly. If a player is not self-disciplined, then it will be more painful."

According to Jermaine O'Neal, Carlisle is just very talented as a coach.But the communication ability is average, and Carlisle is lacking in this aspect.

In fact, Bird has also pointed out that Carlisle's character has always been rigid and serious. This aspect is reflected in the fact that he is meticulous in everything he does and never overlooks all the details. This has caused the relationship between him and the players to not be too harmonious.

"I feel that Coach Rick is okay. We should look at the head coach with a progressive perspective."

Qin Fei didn't feel that the coach's communication was not good. When he went to find Carlisle before, he had a bad conversation with Carlisle. I think Carlisle has improved a lot in the past two years.

"Anyway, we have Brother Terry as the leader of the locker room. Don't worry about these things."

Qin Fei laughed and praised Cummings again.

Cummings shook his head with a wry smile.

The job of the leader in the locker room is not good, and this year he is under more pressure. The players recruited by the Warriors are all strong and tempered, and they don't know how to manage them well.

Cummings could see that there were several people around Qin Fei all the time.

The most outstanding thing last season was Daben, who usually trained with Qin Fei all the time.

Now Artest also has this trend. After Artest and Daben get along well, he will be easily led astray and run into Qin Fei's dog-legged camp.

Although Jermaine O'Neill and Qin Fei also look familiar, but in fact he is not a very close person, and has always had some ideas of his own.

Cummings is not yet familiar with other Billups, James Posey, Kenny Thomas and others.

"I don't want to be a leader in the locker room, but if everyone goes for the goal of winning the championship and doesn't attack their own people, we should still have a lot to do this season."

After Cummings said not to attack his own people, Big Ben and O'Neal Jr. shyly withdrew their secret rivalry palms.

Little O'Neill's hands were red from being pinched, and he remained silent, especially resistant.

"Don't give me a chance, or I will beat you to death."

O'Neal cursed in his heart, Artest looked too angry.

"The first game of the new season is an away game, and it is a consecutive away game. I went to Texas to challenge the Mavericks and the Spurs, and finally returned to the home court to face the Mavericks again on November 11."

"The first game is against the Mavericks. Have you studied the Mavericks?"

Qin Fei suddenly threw out an exam question and threw it to the new teammate.

Artest is a rookie, he has no experience, and he doesn't know how to check the information first and make some preparations. As a result, when Qin Fei asked the question, he was confused.

Qin Fei also stared at him specifically, as if asking him, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Michael Finley."

Artest knew that the Mavericks had Finley, but he really didn't know anything else, not even who the coach of the Mavericks was.

Qin Fei let Artest go and set his sights on the others.

Little O'Neill immediately answered with a smile, taking his time.

"I played against the Mavericks coached by Coach Don Nelson last year. The overall style of the Mavericks is a relatively fast pace, focusing on breakthroughs and shooting, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions is also relatively fast, especially in terms of three-pointers. The Mavericks shoot very well."

Cummings waited for O'Neal to finish, and then added.

"In addition to Finley, the Mavericks' Strickland, Hubert Davis, Greg Buckner, Steve Nash, etc. are all players with relatively accurate three-point shooting. In addition, the rookie Dirk Nowitzki, who was selected by the Mavericks last season, heard that he also specially practiced three-pointers during the offseason, saying that he can also shoot three-pointers."

"Another Donyell Marshall?"

Big Ben knew that Nowitzki's defense was not good either, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and Marshall was more resistant than Nowitzki.

After all, Marshall was also the No. 94 pick in [-]. In terms of draft picks, he was a bit higher than Nowitzki.

"Dirk Nowitzki, he is much stronger than Marshall. Don't underestimate this seven-foot-long man. He has a strong scoring ability and a high degree of certainty. He will be a very strong opponent we will face in the future."

Qin Fei frowned. He didn't remember when Nowitzki became a top power forward, but he knew that Nowitzki was trained by the Mavericks as an excellent offensive [-] from the beginning of entering the league. Except for the twists and turns of the story on the night of the draft, after he came to the Mavericks, the story went from one line to the end.

"Finley, you don't have to worry, I can get him done."

Compared with Nowitzki, Qin Fei feels that it is okay to defend Finley with all his strength, as long as the team can win, but if Nowitzki makes a wide shot, the game will be difficult.

"And Steve Nash."

"Oh, Chauncey and Mucci are not here, forget it, then let's not talk about it."

Qin Fei originally wanted to talk about defending Nash, but found out that the team's two point guards didn't come to the tea party today, so he didn't talk about it at all.

O'Neal still remembers Nash, after all, in the 96th class, Nash was also a child's shoe with a similar pick.

"Is Steve Nash starting now too?"

he asked with some surprise.

"It wasn't the case last season. Sometimes he would play as a substitute. This season is uncertain, but the probability of becoming the starter is very high. He signed a five-year, $5 million contract during the offseason."

After Qin Fei's voice fell, several players were a little absent-minded.

In their eyes, they saw a lot of money again.

"If you want to make money, you must start by defeating countless opponents. As long as you defeat your opponents, you will have bread and milk."

Qin Fei's bandit logic is to encourage his teammates to play wolf spirit.

Several guys were personally ignited by Qin Fei to start the new season charge.

For a while, he looked full of fighting spirit.
