I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 126 The first practice of the season

Since it is the first day of training in the new season, the team just regroups and simply resumes warm-up, so the Rockets are open to the media throughout.

Everyone can also observe the whole picture of the team at close range.

"Veteran and recruit" Brent Barry arrives.

After a while, another new aid, Kenny Thomas, also arrived, and other Rockets players also arrived one after another, but McGrady hadn't come yet.

As time went on, the look on Wayne Hall's face got better and better.

From excitement and anticipation, to nervousness and anxiety, to loss and depression, and finally some doubts about life, and nothing to love...

Accompanied by manager Mosaic, Rockets coach Rick Adelman led his assistant coach team Four King Kong into the court, but McGrady still did not appear.

"Everyone, from this moment on, our new season begins!"

Adelman began to lecture.

Wayne Hall, who was on the sidelines, was not in the mood to listen to Adelman's nagging. He sneaked to the sidelines and asked the familiar RJ Adelman:
"Why isn't Tracy here?"

RJ Adelman was a little surprised, "Don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

"You are Tracy's trainer, didn't he tell you? His back is uncomfortable, and he applied to return to the team three days late."

"Ah? Is it serious? I talked to him on the phone a few days ago, but he didn't tell me! The preseason is about to start!"

RJ Adelman smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, Wayne, you also know Tracy's back injury, one day is good and the other is bad, just like Schrödinger's cat. Maybe tomorrow will be fine!"

The words meant something, and as McGrady's personal trainer, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Hall's face.

McGrady must have been injured, but he has always refused to do a comprehensive examination and treatment, which also caused a lot of criticism of him from the outside world, and even had some conflicts with the team management.

On the other side, Adelman has already finished his lecture, he is not a person who talks a lot.

Next, general manager Mosaic introduced the newcomers of several teams.

The highlight, of course, is the introduction of Artest.

I just heard Mosaic shouting in a host-like tone: "Next, I want to introduce to you, the beast from Queens, New York, a real fighter in the league, an important puzzle on our championship road, and a powerful booster for the Rockets to take off. En Artest!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding.

"wrong!"

Amid the applause of the crowd, Artest interrupted very shamelessly.

???

A circle of question marks slowly appeared on Mosaic's head.

Where is wrong?Was it the title you gave him that made him unhappy?

"I'm not Ron Artest, from now on, I'm Charity·World·Peace!"

There are more question marks on Mosaic's head.blurted out and asked:
"what are you?"

"Charity·World·Peace!"

Mosaic stared at Artest on the opposite side blankly, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears or the guy on the other side had something wrong with his brain.

Mosaic's gaze made Artest very upset, and asked fiercely: "What? Do you have any opinions on charity, world, and peace?"

Mosaic was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands. After thinking for a while, it seemed inappropriate, and nodded quickly:
"No, I am very supportive of Charity World Peace! Who doesn't like Charity World Peace? Last year I personally donated $500 to the Charity Foundation..."

Suddenly, Mosaic blessed his heart and said: "Charity·World·Peace is a good name!"

Artest was overjoyed immediately, and said happily: "Sure enough, I will say this is the best name in the world! Brothers, there will be no Ron Artest in this world from now on. I am Charity·World ·Peace!"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to wink at Dorsey, thanking him for giving himself a good name.

Mosaic sighed softly, he really didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for him to trade such a fool!

After such a fuss, he was not in the mood to introduce Artest in depth, Oh, no, charity, world, peace, and introduced the second signing of this summer.

"Joey Dorsey! Oh, by the way, you didn't change your name?"

Morey touched Dorsey's thick elbow, "Oh, my God, look at his muscles, Joey, if you didn't play, I swear I would hire you as my bodyguard!"

As he said that, he also took a peek at Artest who was on the side.

"Okay, Dorsey welcomes you to the team, I hope you can become our Ben Wallace! Everyone welcome!"

The teammates all applauded, but Dorsey noticed that Dayao only clapped his hands twice symbolically, and he didn't seem enthusiastic.

Until now, he hadn't figured out how he had offended the boss of the team.

Morey then introduced Brent Barry.This is a veteran that everyone is very familiar with and respects very much.

More than half the players on the team have worked with his older brother, Joan Barry.

The next one is Kenny Thomas, the former Rockets veteran who has played good numbers, but now it is just an addition to Artest's trade.

In fact, it is generally analyzed by the outside world that the Rockets will make follow-up transactions during the season, or reach an agreement with Thomas to cut him directly.

As for Weaver, who performed well in the summer league, Morey even mentioned it.

"Okay, Rick, I've done what I need to do, now it's your job. Come on, Team Rocket!"

Mosaic walked to the sidelines with his big belly in his hands, and the training officially started.

Today's training is mainly about recovery and physical examination, to test how well everyone maintains their physical condition during the offseason.

The training is very easy, especially in the physical test session. Dorsey's physical talent once again amazed everyone.

Because he is always in the state of training and competition, his physical fitness has remained very good, coupled with the continuous addition of the system this year, his physical fitness at this time is stronger and better than in his previous life.

Except for the fixed data of height and wingspan that cannot be changed, other physical measurement data have improved compared to before.

The weight dropped by another 2kg to 116kg.

Bottom line back and forth running 11.36 seconds;
3/4 field sprint 3.31 seconds;
Bounce in place 81.8 cm;
Maximum bounce (run-up bounce) 89.7 cm;
Bench press 163kg, this data, he has even surpassed Yao Ming.

Seeing that Dorsey's physical test data is so good, many people on the sidelines smiled with satisfaction.

Mr. Billingbury smiled and said to Feigen: "The thing I am most satisfied with about Joey is that he is constantly improving!"

Dorsey is in a very good state today. Not only the physical test data is very up-to-date, but he also showed a very good state in the subsequent shooting training.

Very solid shot from close range.The mid-range hit rate is also very high. I was so happy that I tried a few long-range shots and even scored a few.

Adelman looked at Dorsey's performance, and his teaching assistant team whispered, nodding from time to time.

Compared with the reserved coach, the manager Mosaic is already happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

Judging from the performance of the first training session alone, Dorsey's deal is worth it!

Since it is the first lesson of the new season, it is mainly about recovery and physical examination, and the training time is not long.

After more than an hour, Adelman called everyone together, briefly summed up a few words, and then announced the dissolution.

Dorsey was laughing and chatting with Brooks and Landry, the little brothers who had played the summer league together, when suddenly a huge shadow shrouded in front of him.

"Joey Dorsey, let's play, let me see how much you weigh?"

The person who spoke was actually Yao Ming!

Dorsey swallowed, damn, Dayao still doesn't plan to let himself go!
Am I really a troublemaker?I don't go to make trouble, but things come to me!
