point guard light

Chapter 36
On October 10, at eight o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yan got up habitually, got dressed, washed up, and went to the kitchen to fry some eggs for breakfast.

While eating breakfast, I couldn't help thinking about what happened yesterday.

Originally, Jiang Yan thought that Patric would suspend him or fine him for fighting.

But I didn't expect Patrik to listen quietly after answering a call. After listening for a few minutes, he hung up the phone silently!

After that, he ignored Jiang Yan's fight and just passed it by.

Shaking her head, Jiang Yan didn't think about it anymore. After all, he didn't suffer from the fight yesterday, and the person who suffered has already gone to the hospital!
At the same time, some well-informed media already knew the news of the fight in Arco Arena.

It's just that Patric ordered the arena not to allow outsiders to enter yesterday, so they didn't get first-hand information.

Therefore, some reports are ambiguous about the news of this matter.

These ambiguous reports are also critical of Jiang Yan. They believe that Jiang Yan, as a rookie, has already fought with teammates before the start of the season. They even predict that the future Kings will become the next Portland Prison!

The fans of the Kings were also quite worried about the team's situation when they saw the news.

Originally, due to Jiang Yan's performance in the last game of the summer league, their worries about Jiang Yan being a parallel importer had been dispelled.

But now that Jiang Yan was fighting again, it almost made them mutter in their hearts again!
Those Yanhei Kings fans took this opportunity to ask for Jiang Yan to be traded directly on the Kings official website.

And some managers even wanted to trade Jiang Yan to the team during the interview.

This situation directly alarmed Patric. He wanted to eliminate the negative impact of this incident and also to appease Jiang Yan.

Came directly to an exclusive interview with reporters to clarify the fight in the team.

"My friends from the press, everyone, today I mainly announce two things. One is about the fight. , training abruptly, resulting in injuries, not due to fighting!
The other thing is the rumor about the trade of Jiang Yan, the No. [-] pick of the Kings this year. I can tell you with certainty that Yan is not for sale of the Kings! "

After saying this, the reporters below hurriedly took a camera to take a picture of Patrik's firm expression.

However, a reporter still stood up and asked, "Hello, President Patric, I am a reporter from the New York Times. According to reliable sources, the fight did exist, and it was a rookie of the Kings who kicked your starting point guard a few times. Siah Thomas! I don't know why you are so eager to deny the truth of the matter?"

Patrik looked at this female reporter who was standing and talking. Although she looked very young, the questions that came out of her mouth were pressing every step of the way!
"Okay, that's all for today's press conference. I won't answer the relevant questions again. After all, I'm very busy. Goodbye!" Patrik took a deep look at the reporters, and Patrik ignored them. Step away!
.........

On the other hand, Jiang Yan was answering various calls from China and the United States.

There are mothers, fiancées, Luo Zixing, Jeff, Duffy, Williams...

Jiang Yan had no choice but to repeat the phrase 'very good!I'm fine! ' words and they said.

But for their care, Jiang Yan still feels very heartwarming. Unknowingly, he is no longer alone in this world, but also has 'relatives and friends'!

These things are just a small episode of Jiang Yan. After answering these calls, Jiang Yan continued to train.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!

In the absence of certain strength, only by putting in more effort and concentration than others can we gain more success in the future!
After all, no pain, no reap!
The other Kings players no longer regard Jiang Yan as a rookie who has just entered the league!
But it's not like in college, when Jiang Yan beat Luka madly and was pushed out by his teammates.

For NBA players, playing is a profession, as long as their own interests are not involved, they will not meddle in their own business.

And for them, Isaiah Thomas is an ordinary teammate, far from reaching the level of a close friend.

Thomas is actually a thorny person on weekdays. He is a self-centered person. Except for the team's good guy Tyrese Olot, everyone else has a mediocre relationship with Thomas!

So yesterday, when Jiang Yan beat Thomas, they didn't rush forward to try to persuade him to fight, they just wanted to prevent Jiang Yan from beating Thomas up!

Besides, according to Patrik's attitude towards Jiang Yan after the beating, they also saw it in their eyes, and they knew very well in their hearts that Jiang Yan will be the core of this team in the future!

These players who have been in the NBA for many years understand very well that even if they can't make good friends with the core of the team, they can't make bad friends!

.........

The atmosphere of the Kings has been very peaceful since then, until October [-]th, when the entire Kings boarded a plane to Shanghai, China.

Because October 2012th is the start time of the 2013-[-] season preseason.

The NBA preseason is a warm-up match for each team before the start of the NBA regular season.

Because after each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup.

In order to allow each team to adjust the lineup, familiarize themselves with their own team's style of play, determine the lineup of each team for the new season, and at the same time enhance the communication between players and coaches.

Therefore, before the start of each season, the NBA holds several preseason games so that they can participate in the long regular season games in a better state.

In fact, the lineup of the Kings has not changed much. The only three changes are that Jiang Yan joined the Kings, the former assistant coach became the head coach, and a drinking fountain player was cut!
So the 2012 preseason didn't make much sense for the Kings.

However, the preseason should be played and still have to be played.

Especially the Kings have two games in Shanghai, China!

This is specially arranged by the NBA officials for Jiang Yan, in fact, this is also arranged by the NBA to attract the popularity of China!

In the past, there was Yao Ming, and the popularity of the NBA in China was very high. Although Yi Jianlian still exists in the NBA, Yi Jianlian is only signed to the Mavericks, and judging by his appearance, he can't play well.

But as the only Chinese in the NBA, Derby is a must!

The King's first game was against the Mavericks at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center.

Because they arrived one day earlier, Jiang Yan and the others stayed in the hotel provided by the Chinese Basketball Association.

This time, Jiang Yan didn't have the treatment of one person per room.

He shares a room with Francisco Garcia.

Francisco Garcia, the swingman of the Kings, is also the team's substitute.

This is a player who gained a foothold in the Kings based on his defensive ability. The Kings originally chose him because of his good offensive power.

But after entering the NBA, there is only one offensive method that is outstanding in off-ball running. Like Williams, he is just a player who relies on point guards for food.

However, this might be the one who matches Jiang Yan the most.

"Yan, do you want to go out for a stroll?" After putting away his training bag, Garcia came to Jiang Yan and asked expectantly.

After all, Jiang Yan is the host, and he is the most suitable to take him out to play, and he also has a careful thought, as a person who witnessed the fight on the first day, Jiang Yan is fine afterwards, and he has this opportunity to get closer to Jiang Yan , he still can't grasp it!

He himself knows his abilities, and it is impossible to become a star. As a professional player, he must only want good statistics.

In the NBA, data represents money, which is very eager for a man who has never won a big contract.

After hearing Garcia's words, Jiang Yan paused as she straightened her clothes.

Jiang Meiqi arrived in Shanghai yesterday, waiting for him to go on a date?
If he went out alone, wouldn't he be ignoring the discipline of the team too much, but if someone went out with him, then the law would not punish the public, and the coach would punish him severely?
Rolling his eyes, he replied, "Garcia, why don't we go out with the whole team? Show you the scenery of Shanghai?"

Garcia clapped his hands happily, and immediately ran out to discuss the matter with other team members.

.........

Ten minutes later, while the coaching staff was still discussing tactics in the room, fourteen outstandingly tall black, white, and yellow people walked out of the hotel calmly.

Under the leadership of Jiang Yan, the crowd went straight to Shanghai's largest Wanda Plaza, where there are a variety of delicious food and places to play!
Most importantly, Jiang Meiqi was waiting there.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan was a little helpless, because he didn't want to come out, and wanted to take a good look at the Kings' playbook in the hotel!
You must know that the tactical manual of each NBA team is not just as thick as our elementary school textbooks, but as thick as ten centimeters!

When Jiang Yan got it, she was a little dumbfounded.

Jiang Yan took these teammates to a spicy hot pot for dinner.

Then I took them shopping and let them play there by themselves.

Anyway, they also have GPS in their hands, so they don't worry about getting lost.

As for Jiang Yan herself, she quietly came to the Wanda Cinema. Jiang Meiqi had already bought two tickets and was waiting for him there!
After watching the movie, Jiang Yan was dragged by Jiang Meiqi, and went to a hotel not far away to get a room!

……

Jiang Yan opened her sleepy eyes, took the phone to her hand and looked at it, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Turn off the Do Not Disturb mode, and then see countless missed calls appearing on the phone screen!

Basically all missed calls from Viglis!

Jiang Yan realized that there was still a match today!

Pushing Jiang Meiqi's legs away from her body, Jiang Yan hurriedly put on her clothes, and at the same time said to Jiang Meiqi: "Qiqi, I'm going to the arena, the coach is looking for me!"

"En!" The exhausted Jiang Meiqi responded vaguely, and then fell asleep again!
Jiang Yan also didn't have time to take care of Jiang Meiqi, so she ran away from the hotel.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yan appeared in the Dongfang Gymnasium wearing training clothes and sweating profusely.
