I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 90 The Preseason Begins

Time passed quickly, and it was mid-October in a blink of an eye, and the NBA preseason game was about to start.

During this period, the Warriors continued to adjust their lineup and practice offensive and defensive tactics.

In the daily hard training, the tacit understanding of the team has gradually increased.

As the preseason approaches, outside media and fans are full of expectations for the Warriors in the new season, especially Chinese fans.

The Mosaic team has announced that Dayao will be reimbursed for this season, and the Lakers have also waived Sun Yue, leaving domestic fans to focus on Ah Lian and Sun Yi, expecting them to perform well.

Although Dayao was reimbursed for the season and couldn't play games, he didn't forget to mention his little brother.

When the preseason game was approaching, he called Sun Yi specifically to tell Sun Yi a few words, imparting some game experience and explaining some precautions.

At the same time, during the exchange between the two, Dayao followed Sun Yi's suggestion and planned to lose weight during the recovery period and actively recover.

Dayao wants to extend his career, fight side by side with rising stars like Sun Yi, and win a valuable medal for the Chinese men's basketball team at the Olympics. Then his career will be complete.

Sun Yi didn't know Dayao's great ideals, if he knew, he might give him a thumbs up, what a high level of awareness, anyway, he couldn't meet such a standard.

The days that followed returned to calm, and Sun Yi still spent time in the training gym every day, focusing on improving his strength.

……

Time passed quickly. On the day before the start of the preseason, Nelson called all the Warriors players together, formulated offensive and defensive tactics, and then announced the starting lineup.

There is no change, it is still the same starting lineup as before.

Regardless of whether this lineup is successful or not, it will not be easily changed before the season officially begins.

The Warriors players didn't have any objections when they heard such an arrangement.

After many intra-team confrontations, they have recognized the strength of Sun Yi and Curry.

After the starting list of players was announced, Sun Yi frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.

Biedrins didn't play very well in the team's training game, and Nelson still didn't give up on this guy.

Naturally, he would not refute Old Nelson's arrangement, but he was a little worried that Biedrins would turn into an undercover agent and play their part, which would be uncomfortable.

Biedrins is actually not bad. After signing a big contract last year, his professional attitude is still conscientious. Last season, he averaged 11.9 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. The double-double data is completely worthy of the big contract.

But the turning point came after 09, when this guy's data plummeted and he became a representative of high salary and low ability.

Such signs, Sun Yi can see some clues from the pre-season training camp.

This guy came back from the offseason. Although he wasn't as fat as a ball, the muscle lines on his body were obviously reduced.

This shows that after Biedrins signed a big contract, he was a little drifting and became very undisciplined. During the offseason, he only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and did not conduct recovery training at all.

Such an undisciplined player will be eliminated by the NBA within a few seasons.

There are too many such examples, such as Wen Baker, Kemp, Odom and others.

Sun Yi doesn't feel sympathy for such players who are eliminated due to lack of self-discipline. These are their own faults.

To be honest, if Biedrins is still the boy chasing the wind, then the Warriors are not weak, and it is not impossible to return to the playoffs.

"I have to think of a way to make this guy change for the benefit of the team."

Now that Sun Yi has joined the Warriors, he can indeed do something to influence his teammates.

For example, while Biedrins has not completely degenerated because of taking a big contract, he can be rescued appropriately.

If this guy really can't support the wall, he can only let him fend for himself.

"Hey! I want to change other people before I understand my own affairs. I really don't want to worry about eating carrots!"

Sun Yi shook his head and didn't think about it any more. This kind of thing should just go with the flow.

Immediately, he changed his mind and thought about the next plan.

Although he and Curry are the starters, as long as they stretch their hips in these preseason games, they will also be rolled off and then start from the bench.

Therefore, both Sun Yi and Curry cherish this precious opportunity very much.

"Looks like I have to work overtime and do some homework tonight."

After the tactical meeting was over, Sun Yi did not stay and introvert, and returned to the apartment with Curry.

After returning, Sun Yi deliberately studied the lineup of the Timberwolves during this period.

The preseason schedule has already been arranged.

In the first game, the Warriors will host the Timberwolves.

At power forward, the Timberwolves will probably start with Kevin Love.

"Uh, compared to Le Fu, my height and weight are not superior. I don't know if I will be blown away." Sun Yi looked at Le Fu's information, thinking.

In order to adapt to the confrontation with Le Fu in advance, Sun Yi entered the virtual dream before going to bed, simulating Le Fu's tool man to fight against him.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the preseason.

……

On October 10, the NBA preseason officially started.

Early in the morning, Sun Yi's cell phone rang non-stop.

After talking to his parents, he checked his unread text messages.

Lily Collins: Come on!

Sun Yi smiled after looking at it, and then smiled back.

Immediately afterwards, he successively replied text messages to Dayao, Schwartz, Whiteside and others.

After finishing everything, Sun Yi went out to meet Curry and headed to the training hall together.

Although it was a game day, they still went to the training hall for daily training as always.

Not long after, Sun Yi and Curry appeared in the training hall, where Procopio and Lyles were already waiting.

Sun Yi and Curry separated and followed their respective queen trainers to the training ground.

"Sun, the devil's training is temporarily suspended. It is not suitable to do high-intensity training on game days." Procopio suggested.

Although he knew that Sun Yi could recover his strength quickly, he still didn't mess around.

"Mike, I see." Sun Yi was not surprised, nodded and replied.

After seeing Sun Yi's statement, Procopio continued: "The training this morning will be conducted according to the training subjects on the match day."

Sun Yi had no objection. After finishing the warm-up activities, he started shooting training.

Two hours later, Procopio called off the shooting training and took Sun Yi to the gym for strength training.

"Come to warm up and let the blood in your whole body boil, which will help you relieve your tension."

Sun Yi nodded, came to the machine, and frantically rolled the iron, immersing himself in the training.

After the strength training, Sun Yi conducted other training.

After a few hours, the daily training is all over.

Sun Yi and Curry met again and went to the locker room to change clothes together.

When setting off for the Oracle Arena, Procopio patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and said something jokingly.

"Sun, you are my first client, you must fight hard to make my name famous."

"Mike, don't worry, just sit back and wait to collect the money!" Sun Yi replied with a hearty smile.

After bidding farewell to Procopio and Lyles, Sun Yi and Curry went to Oracle Arena together to officially start their careers in the NBA.
