NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!

May 1, US time

The NBA's new season training camp has officially begun!

This means the offseason is coming to an end, and players who didn't make transfers in the summer have returned to their familiar arenas.

Players who transfer are heading to the team they want to join.

no doubt

There are only two team training camps that receive the most media attention:

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers!

The Sharks made their first appearance at Quicken Loans Arena.

The "Shaq" duo of LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal signifies the birth of a new landscape in the league.

Staples Center

The Los Angeles Lakers, who have won the championship trophy again after eight years, are also aiming to defend their title in the new season.

Kobe Bryant looked very happy, after all, he won his first championship trophy since leaving Shaq!

at the same time

The other side of Staples Center.

The team's new signing, Andre Iguodala, arrived at the stadium early.

As a new addition to the team and a senior figure within the team, he also wants to set a good example for his future teammates.

To Iguodala's surprise, two young men had already arrived at the arena and were practicing shooting before him.

"Stephen? Ye Chu?"

Iguodala immediately recognized the two young men who had become incredibly popular across the entire team this year: "You guys are here so early?"

"We just arrived too!"

Seeing Iguodala approach, Curry and Ye Chu stopped their shooting practice, wiped their sweat, and said, "Andre, welcome to Los Angeles!"

The three chatted briefly, discussing topics ranging from their experiences at Ncaa to which nightclubs in Los Angeles were most famous.

follow closely

The rest of the Clippers players also arrived at the arena.

The team's newly appointed head coach, Stevens, gathered the players together and explained the team's goals and tactical arrangements for the new season.

【Ding! 】

As Ye Chu was listening to the instructions from the young marshal Stevens, a strange yet familiar electronic notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Host detected as about to embark on their NBA journey; mission issued.]

[Wins the Division Player of the Month award in his first month as a rookie!]

[System Reward: Choose one attribute +8!]

The familiar yet unfamiliar system notification sound arrived as expected.

Ye Chu was initially excited, but after hearing the unlocking conditions of the system, she couldn't help but frown.

How did he win the Western Conference Player of the Month award in his first month as a rookie?

I, Zefa!

The difficulty of this unlock condition may seem simple, but it is actually not simple at all.

It's worth noting that, throughout the entire history of the NBA, no rookie player has ever received this award in their first month.

Even Michael Jordan, who is known as a "god," has never done it!

Now, the system is assigning me a task that even Jordan has never accomplished.

This is difficult...

Damn it, it would be better to flirt with a few big stars to increase your haters!

"Ye, you are the core of the team's offense in the new season!"

Just as Ye Chu was internally ranting, the young coach Stevens was drawing on the tactics board: "I've set up a lot of tactical combinations for you and Stephen, with the aim of creating easy scoring opportunities for you."

Young coach Stevens can be described as a tactical genius for the team.

Looking back at the Boston Celtics of the future, their five-outside tactical system once led them to the NBA Finals.

However, they were ultimately defeated by the Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry.

The team's current roster structure allows Stevens to better continue the five-outside system.

time flies

May 11, US time

The NBA 2009-2010 preseason has officially begun!

League executives are already planning to expand the NBA preseason overseas.

Holding it in Europe is definitely a given.

The problem is that David Stern wants to hold the preseason games in China.

However, there's no hope for this season.

They can only pin their hopes on Ye Chu, if he can make a name for himself in his rookie season and ignite the passion of Chinese fans.

Therefore, it's no surprise that the NBA would hold its preseason games in China.

Although the Clippers' preseason games cannot be scheduled in China.

However, David Stern still scheduled the Clippers' first playoff game of the season in North Carolina.

Davidson School Basketball Gymnasium!

Before the game began, the entire Davidson Academy leadership team, along with head coach Bob, gave a series of speeches regarding Ye Chu and Stephen Curry's return to the home court.

"Finally, on behalf of Davidson College and the basketball team, I have an announcement to make!"

In his closing remarks, head coach Bob said, "Davidson College will officially retire Ye Chu and Stephen Curry's college jerseys next year!"

They are the only duo in Davidson College's history to lead the team to a championship.

The news of Ye Chu retiring his jersey along with Stephen Curry's also drew cheers from the fans at the scene.

Faced with the deafening cheers from the crowd, Clippers head coach Stevens immediately arranged for Ye Chu and Stephen Curry to play the entire first quarter.

Preseason

Many star players on teams only play for a few minutes as a formality.

Ye Chu and Curry's performance, playing the entire first quarter, was a feast for the eyes of the Davidson College fans who came to watch the game.

To know

The last time Ye Chu and Curry played together was in the Ncaa Championship finals in April.

It's already October, and with nearly six months of free time, the two of them are starting to get restless.

First quarter

Davidson College's twin stars are like tigers just emerging from the mountains, and wearing Utah Jazz uniforms, they unleash a fierce attack!

Although the Jazz gave up their core players Deron Williams and Al Jefferson.

But the remaining players are NBA-level players after all.

These flashy players were thoroughly beaten down by the Davidson Academy duo.

But the young coach Stevens on the sidelines seemed completely unmoved.

Is it something to be proud of to crush the Utah Jazz's rotation?

Excuse me!

From now on, he will set strict requirements for Ye Chu and Curry.

Even Ye Chu and Curry themselves didn't think much of it, since their opponents were really terrible.

On the contrary, it was the kid on the Jazz bench who kept waving a towel that caught Ye Chu's attention.

If I'm not mistaken.

The guy wearing the Jazz's number 21 jersey and passionately waving a towel is—Beverley!

Mediocre talent, no shooting ability, no playmaking ability.

In the early part of his career, Beverley was a well-known journeyman in the league.

It was only after he joined the Houston Rockets that he gradually began to showcase his defensive talent.

but

Ye Chu is not one of those so-called experts.

He knew very well what Beverley could bring to the team on the defensive end.

More importantly, some readers have said that Beverley is more restrained towards Curry.

How could we let a player like that wander outside?

"Coach, have you seen that number 21 on the Utah Jazz's bench?"

Ye Chu, draped in a towel, approached Stevens and said, "Look at the strength and skill with which he waves the towel. Our team also needs a player who can cheer us on from the bench!"

"Waving a towel? I can do that too!"

Upon hearing Ye Chu's suggestion, Curry grabbed a towel without hesitation and began waving it vigorously.

"you...."

Seeing Curry's passionate expression, Ye Chu couldn't help but mentally complain:

This is none of your business, so get out of here!

I'm currently working on something important for your future, why are you getting involved?

"Your movements...are standard, but they lack that young man's passion!"

Ye Chu snatched the towel from Curry's hand: "Look, you can't even hold a towel, how can you compare to others?"

"I...."

Curry paused for a moment, but after seeing Ye Chu's look, he instantly understood and turned to Stevens: "Coach, I think Ye Chu is right!"

"The team definitely needs a mood-setter on the bench!"

Young coach Stevens glanced at the Davidson Academy duo, then at the opposing bench. Even though the team was trailing by a large margin, the young man was still energetically waving his towel.

I can't let these two fool me, can I?

but

Stevens felt that Ye Chu and Curry's words actually made a lot of sense.

There aren't many young players on the team's bench. Camby and Davidson are both seasoned veterans in the league. Do you expect them to wave towels and act as the team's atmosphere coordinator?

This is obviously impossible.

What's more, Davidson was once LeBron James's older brother!

Someone who doesn't even respect the executive vice-president of the football world, what kind of towel would he give you!

"I will speak to the team's management!"

Stevens temporarily agreed to the Davidson Twins' suggestion.

Regardless of whether they are conspiring to deceive themselves, the team does need a team leader to manage the atmosphere.

"A second-round pick? There's really no need for that, is there?"

"What? This was Ye Chu and Curry's suggestion???"

When Clippers general manager Tom received a call from Stevens, he performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act on the spot.

Stevens meant: Think about it.

He's just a second-round pick, not that important.

But Tom is different; this was Ye Chu and Curry's suggestion, and it must be arranged immediately!

that's it

The Los Angeles Clippers have reappeared on the trade market, bringing Beverley to the City of Angels for a fraction of the cash.

When the US media first saw the Clippers appear on the trade market, they were quite excited.

But upon closer inspection, he turned out to be just an insignificant second-round pick.

It's such a waste of my excitement.

In the Clippers' next few preseason games, Coach Stevens did not let Ye Chu and Curry play again.

The new season is about to begin.

The regular season is the most important thing.

He couldn't even imagine what the Clippers' management would think if he got injured in the preseason.
