Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 580 Teammate Returns
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

Qin Hao has spent the past two months in the arena. Now that he is an NBA player, he can't slack off. The NBA will only be more cruel than the NCAA, and the opponents will be stronger.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

The shooting machine bounced the basketball back, Qin Hao caught the ball and changed direction, then jumped up and made another hit.
Qin Hao took two hundred shots in a row before he stopped. He supported his knees to pant, and stared at the basket, feeling a little helpless: "It's been a few months, and I still haven't been able to make a breakthrough in mid-range shots."

In the past few months, Qin Hao has been training mid-range jumpers, hoping to enter the NBA with a stronger posture and welcome the NBA games.

But after a few months, he obviously felt that he was very close to a breakthrough, but it was just a little bit short. Qin Hao understood that he lacked an opportunity.

"The preseason will be here soon, and I hope to make a breakthrough through the preseason." Qin Hao said to himself.

Suddenly, with a click, the door of the arena was pushed open.

A tall white man in a suit and leather shoes, nearly two meters tall, walked in, followed by a black middle-aged man with a pot belly and a shaved head.

"Coach Collins, assistant coach Luke." Qin Hao shouted.

These two are the current head coach of the 76ers, Doug Collins, and assistant coach Thorne Luke. Qin Hao has met twice before, once a few days after he first joined the team, and once in two days forward.

However, Doug Collins has always been stern and indifferent, but assistant coach Thorne Luke is quite enthusiastic about Qin Hao, and he chatted with Qin Hao for a long time the day before yesterday.

Coach Collins only became the head coach of the 76ers in May this year. He used to be a player of the 76ers and was the No. 1973 pick. He was selected by the 76ers with the first overall pick in 76. Has been selected to the All-Star team 4 times.

After Collins retired, he began to serve as a coach. He has coached the Bulls, Pistons, Wizards and other teams. During the Bulls and Wizards period, he coached Michael Jordan.

Now he has become the coach of the 76ers, returning to the place where his player career began.

Collins spent his entire playing career in the 76ers, and he has a special feeling for this team. He came to the 76ers just to help the 76ers rise.

So it's only mid-September, and the players haven't returned yet. Coach Collins has returned early to prepare for the new season.

Seeing Qin Hao, Collins just nodded.

Assistant coach Luke smiled at Qin Hao, waved his hand, and signaled Qin Hao to do his own thing, and the two went straight to the office on the second floor.

An hour later, the two left the office and saw that Qin Hao was still there. Coach Collins looked at Qin Hao twice and said nothing.

"Qin." Assistant coach Luke came to Qin Hao and said, "Diligence is a good thing, but you must also pay attention to proper rest. The preseason will start soon, and the players will return one after another in these two days. The most important thing is to integrate into the team, understand?"

"Well, thank you Assistant Luke." Qin Hao nodded.

Luke chuckled, turned and left.

Watching the two leave, Qin Hao looked back. Luke's assistant coach is still good. I just reminded him that the players will return soon. As a rookie, he must be mentally prepared and integrate into the team as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in danger. His upbringing was not good.

A player's rookie period is actually very important. If he doesn't get a chance during his rookie period, it will even affect his entire career.

But what Qin Hao didn't understand was that Coach Collins was always a little cold towards him, and he didn't know what went wrong.

If the head coach of the team doesn't want to see him, it will be a little troublesome.

In the next few days, the players of the 76ers returned one after another. The team's core Andre Iguodala, several main players Elton Brand, Jrue Holiday, and Louis Williams, Thaddeus Young, Spencer Hawes, Jody Meeks, Andres Nocioni, Marreese Speights, Craig Briggins, Tony Bar Teddy, Darius Sangueira, Antonio Daniels, Jason Kapono.

A total of 14 people, plus Qin Hao, is the current lineup of the 76ers.

Originally Allen Iverson was also on the team, a player Qin Hao liked very much, but because his youngest daughter suffered from a strange disease and had a persistent high fever, Iverson had to terminate his contract with the 76ers in order to take care of his daughter , it is not yet determined whether it will return.

Qin Hao greeted his teammates one by one, but everyone's attitude towards Qin Hao was different. Some people were very enthusiastic towards him, some people were curious in their tone, and some had a cold expression, with a look of refusal Outside the appearance, there are also people who hide jealousy in their eyes
"It's true that life is full of rivers and lakes." Qin Hao sighed secretly.

If he was only a 20-year-old young man, he might not be able to notice anything, but he lived in a 30-year-old soul. How could his teammates hide their small thoughts from him?
Of course, some people didn't want to hide it at all, and showed it very directly. For example, guard Jodi Meeks, the hostility towards Qin Hao was almost written on his face.

Although assistant Luke had reminded him before, Qin Hao still felt tired. It seemed that it was the same everywhere he went, and life was full of rivers and lakes.

But on second thought, it's not surprising.

The nba is a commercial alliance. Since it is a commercial alliance, there will naturally be conflicts of interests. When interests are involved, it is not uncommon for them to intrigue.

Qin Hao quickly summed it up in his mind, and he has a preliminary understanding of each teammate, who welcomes him, who doesn't welcome him, and who has an indifferent attitude, he has a bottom line.

"Micks, you're miserable." The team's backup small forward Kapono smiled to the guard Jody Meeks next to him: "As soon as Qin comes, your playing time will be shared again. Now I'm afraid you want to It's hard to be a second-best guard."

Meeks glared at Kapono, who was gloating, and looked at Qin Hao, with undisguised hostility in his eyes, and snorted coldly.

Meeks was selected by the Bucks with the 09th pick in the second round of 11, but he was traded to the 41ers after only playing 76 games with the Bucks.

He played 76 games for the 19ers last season, serving as the team's third backup guard, behind Iverson and Jrue Holiday, averaging 12.3 minutes per game, 5.9 points per game, 1.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, relative to the playing time, the data is not bad.

Iverson did not return this season. Holiday will become the team's starting guard, and he will also become the team's second backup guard. His playing time will be greatly increased and he will have more opportunities.

But as soon as Qin Hao came, his position as the second backup guard was in danger.
