Reborn NBA Gao Fushuai

Chapter 2 Lakers Training Camp

Bang!Bang!Bang!
In the training hall of the Los Angeles Lakers, there is a lot of voices at the moment, the sound of basketball hitting the ground, and the shouts of people are extremely noisy. More than a dozen players are training under the guidance of the coach, and Vujacic is naturally one of them .

NBA-level training is not as ordinary people imagine, a group of spring people flying around in the air, constantly showing off various fancy slam dunks, proving how superior they are.

In fact, the training of the NBA team is very boring. Shuttle running, strength training, shooting, dribbling, a group of high-ranking players who have proved their basketball talent long ago, these basic training must be completed every day.

Of course, those star players in the team, such as Kobe, Odom, etc., did not appear here. They are still continuing their leisurely vacation. At the moment, in the training hall, there are only rookies like Vujacic, or those low-grade students , blue-collar players, and some free agents eager to squeeze into the NBA gate are sweating desperately.

It is said that people should be damned if they compare themselves with others, and they should be thrown away if they compare goods!
People can bring their wives, girlfriends, or other people's wives and girlfriends to enjoy the beach, sunshine, beauties, and miniskirts, but they still have to put in [-]% effort just to win a spot in the team. Location.

Vujacic has also met many celebrities these days who could only be seen on TV in his previous life, such as an alternative power forward, defensive air Brian Cook, an outstanding representative of the tiger father and son Luke Walton, and other familiar Some people came and stayed, some people came and then left in a hurry.

At this time, no matter who it is, everyone is the same. Even those seniors who have more than ten years of NBA experience but are reluctant to leave can only put down their figures, just like a catwalk, constantly coming in and out The training halls of each team try their best to grasp every opportunity for trial training. All they have to do is to win a contract for themselves before the start of the new season.

Those who sell muscles on the basketball court, there may be a few who come from rich families. Most of them come from poor areas. All they come into contact with are theft, drugs, and prostitutes. No one knows which friend around them will die on the street when the sun rises tomorrow.

Basketball is the only chance for them to change the fate of themselves and their families, and apart from basketball, they have no other life skills at all. With so many players, who can be promoted directly from wage earners to become bosses like Gangzhu Qiao? After leaving the stadium, they immediately became destitute.

In order to continue their superior life, they have to continue to work hard on the court even if they are dead skinned. People only see the brilliance of NBA players, and who knows how many newcomers will be squeezed into this league every year, and how many people will be eliminated.

Originally, the Los Angeles Lakers had another rookie in addition to Vujacic this year, Marcus Dohit, but that buddy only appeared in the Los Angeles Lakers training facility for three days, and then disappeared. Obviously, he did not Failed to get a coveted NBA contract.

However, this Dohit did not disappear without a trace like most players who cannot be recognized by the NBA. Later, he moved to the leagues of various countries and joined the Philippine nationality to participate in the 2011 Asian Championships.

Dohit left without attracting people's attention, and only Vujacic was a little bit sad. They are all rookies, and rookies have no human rights.

Newcomers like them who still have a little knowledge of the NBA have no right to choose. All they can do is act like a commodity and try their best to show how good they are, how good they are, and how worthy they are in front of those coaches. Look forward to, and then get a contract to officially join the big NBA family.

But wanting to gain warmth in this big family is wishful thinking. As long as there are people, there will be competition. The NBA is also a part of this society, and it must also abide by the law of survival of the fittest.

If you are valuable to the team, you will naturally be respected and have the right to survive, but once you are exposed as unsuitable or have no value, then being eliminated is the ultimate fate.

There's not much human touch in this place!
Those Lakers staff who stand on the sidelines and write and draw pictures from time to time are the chief judges of Vujacic and others. Whether they can get a contract in the new season depends entirely on them.

As for the head coach of the team, Phil Jackson, Vujacic has never seen him. He is a famous coach and a sign of the NBA. Naturally, he has no time to entertain these pink and tender rookies. What's more, Big Phil is now and Miss Bass, the daughter of the owner of the Lakers, is playing very well, and she doesn't have the time to take care of their half-finished products that may be eliminated by the NBA at any time.

Vujacic’s treatment is considered good. When he tried out for the Lakers before, he was considered talented by the coaching staff. Of course, that good reputation was earned by the previous Vujacic. It is not half as good as the current Vujacic who has changed his soul. money relationship.

Everything has to start again. Even though he is very confident in his own strength, from the perspective of the NBA, Vujacic is just a rookie now. If he wants to get a rookie contract, he must show his real skills. Being eliminated is just a matter of a word from the Lakers uniform team.

However, there are also aspects that are very beneficial to Vujacic. This season the Lakers are in a critical period of reconstruction. Last season, F4 suffered a disastrous defeat. Malone announced his retirement, and Payton also chose to leave. What hit the Lakers the most is that, The Sharks and Peter Pan finally fell out. After a difficult choice, the Lakers could only let the Sharks go eastward. The team was reorganized with Kobe as the core.

Losing many main players, although Kobe is in charge, the Lakers will inevitably change from nobles to grassroots. This is a good opportunity for Vujacic, as long as he can use his strength to convince the Lakers uniform team, to When the time comes, he will naturally get more chances to play in the new season.

So from the very beginning, Vujacic took any training very seriously, and won unanimous praise from the Lakers uniform team. Of course, his outstanding performance also attracted the envy of no one.

Standing out from the crowd is not always a good thing. A newcomer to the team naturally means that someone's position will be replaced, especially those guys who have position conflicts. Anyway, Vujacic is not pleasing to the left and right.

These days, Vujacic has also been provoked by many people. If his previous temper had been followed, he would have swung his fist long ago. He was so rebellious, no matter who he was facing, he never bowed his head.

But this time, Vujacic endured it. For a contract, he had to restrain his bad temper. He didn't want to be regarded as a thorn in the side. Before he had a chance to show himself in the NBA, he was kicked out because of his personality.

What Vujacic desires most now is for Phil Jackson to come to the training hall and see his ability with his own eyes. Unfortunately, the biggest name he has seen so far is only the assistant coach of the Lakers.

What Vujacic didn't know was that although Phil Jackson hadn't appeared, he learned about the situation of these people through the uniform team every day. Every new arrival and departure was actually made by Phil Jackson. Decide.

For Vujacic, a first-round rookie, Phil Jackson naturally pays special attention to it. He used to have plenty of cards in his hand. Big Phil has always dismissed rookies who are not very outstanding. Of course, opportunities will be given, but As long as he fails to show the strength that makes his heart beat within the time specified by him, then he will not be far away from being eliminated.

But it’s not going to work now. The Lakers in the new season are almost rebuilt from the ruins. With Shaquille O’Neal as a bargaining chip, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, and his original team were acquired from the Miami Heat. The old player of the Chicago Bulls, Brian Grant, is actually not a player that Big Phil wants.

Although in the new season, the top management of the team has no requirements for performance, but this is the first year of the Kobe era. If the performance is too ugly, it will really damage the brand of Big Phil's famous coach.

The reconstruction obviously cannot be completed in a short period of time. What Phil Jackson has to do now is to tap the internal potential as much as possible while constantly building a framework for a new dynasty.

The selection of Vujacic in the draft was based on Phil Jackson's opinion. In his opinion, although the Slovenian kid has average physical fitness, he has good potential and has a certain shooting ability, but he is not very stable and has good breakthrough ability. Relatively weak, may be a little embarrassed when facing strong opponents, average defensive ability, but good team awareness, it is worth looking forward to when changing positions, basically the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious, in short, it is worth cultivating.

In Big Phil's plan, the most suitable position for Vujacic is to serve as Kobe's substitute. Of course, if Vujacic can improve his passing, he can also consider letting him play at the point guard position. Well, maybe Vujacic can be made into the best sixth man like Ginobili.

Of course, these ideas were left to Phil Jackson by the former Vujacic. Through the feedback from the uniform team in recent days, Vujacic’s impression of Big Phil has almost taken a 180-degree turn. It's like riding a roller coaster.

Phil Jackson was even thinking: Is this still the same person?
