Chapter 176 Media Day

"The Basketball Pioneer?"

Yang Di raised his head in doubt, and had never heard of this newspaper.

"Yes, it was just established yesterday. Director Cai Nan was invited to become a columnist for the newly established "Basketball Pioneer". In the United States, he should be regarded as a commentator."

Tang Xinran spoke slowly, talking about Cai Nan with Yang Di.

"This guy is amazing. I haven't seen him for a long time. I didn't expect him to gain such fame and connections so quickly." Yang Di nodded, happy for Cai Nan's promotion.

Tang Xinran glanced at Yang Di, thinking that you don't know the reason for Cai Nan's rise. This guy is still the No. 1 person who has a deep understanding of Yang Di in China.

"By the way, let's talk about the outlook for this year!" Tang Xinran took out a pen and paper and asked Yang Di.

Yang Di smiled and said: "Looking forward, personally, I hope to stay healthy, play a full season, and then continue to improve my skills, and have stable playing time and performance. For the team, of course it is the championship. Now, there is no player who does not desire a championship, and the goal of playing games is to strive for No.1."

"Championship?" Tang Xinran couldn't help asking, "Will it be too much?"

"Arrogant?" Yang Di looked at her with a half-smile.

"That's what you said, I didn't say that." Tang Xinran gave him a blank look.

"Perhaps. Anyway, that's my goal. Ideals must be there. What if they come true?"

Yang Di and Tang Xinran were sitting on the benches beside the court chatting, which was equivalent to giving her a little trouble. This made many media such as "Yahoo" and "Sina" very uncomfortable, and they all speculated about what Tang Xinran and Yang Di were. Some people even saw Tang Xinran's ugly appearance and maliciously speculated whether the relationship between the two was improper. Anyway, Yang Di's scandals have always been a lot, so it is probably not a good bird.

After the media interview was over, two people ushered in the training hall, one in a neat suit and the other in casual sportswear.

"The head coach and general manager are here."

Players in training uniforms surrounded him, and so did Yang Di. He didn't know anyone in the entire Warriors team, and he stood there quietly, listening to other people he knew chatting in twos and threes.

"I'm your head coach, Mike Montgomery."

Mike Montgomery has gray hair, looks old, has a warm smile on his face, looks gentle, he continued to the players: "Maybe many of you don't know me, because I used to be a Stanford University player Coach, nice to meet you."

The players applaud.

General manager Chris Dawson glanced at every player, and then fixed on Yang Di who was standing there. Yang Di also saw him, and the two looked at each other, then nodded in greeting.

Montgomery continued: "Some of you are rookies who have just entered the league without playing a game, some are young players who have played for one or two seasons, and some are veterans who have been in the league for a long time. This season, I will move forward together with you, and I hope that everyone can take the team's record as the purpose and the pursuit of victory as the goal, strive to abide by the team's rules and regulations, train hard, and complete the game."

Montgomery's speech was very brief, and then let everyone disperse. There is no training match today, only some routine physical examinations.

Yang Di walked back halfway, when suddenly someone patted him from behind.

"Hey, Meteor Belt!"

Yang Di was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see Derek Fisher greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Derek."

Yang Di reacted immediately, and greeted Fisher. He had confronted Fisher twice last season.

"I didn't expect to be teammates with you in the end." The 30-year-old Fisher signed a long-term contract with the Warriors. He thought that his career might end in Oakland. He met Yang Di, who had shown his prowess in Los Angeles last season. , and then remembered the Lakers battleship that fell apart this summer, and suddenly sighed.

"The Warriors are pretty good, I kind of like Oakland." Yang Di said with a smile, the fans here are much better than the Heat.

"That's right, you see, the Oakland Arena is also newly built and can accommodate more spectators. In the new season, I am looking forward to working with you." The old fish Fisher expressed his kindness in a timely manner, which made Yang Di soon developed a good impression of him, and the two chatted and laughed happily.

"Jason Richardson is here." Fisher pointed with a smile, and sure enough a lean man with dark skin came over.

"Well, hello Yang Di." Richardson stretched out his big hand and smiled in front of Yang Di. Because of his dark skin, his teeth looked particularly white.

"Hello, Jason." Yang Di nodded. Richardson was the Warriors' scoring leader last season. He was only 23 years old this year. He took the initiative to greet him, making him feel that he didn't seem to have any pretensions.

"Last season, you dunked and blocked shots several times last season. I remember them very clearly. For example, the one that blocked Carter's dunk was awesome." Richardson first helped Yang Di blow a wave, which made Yang Di feel a little flustered.

"In the new season, our partners play pick-and-rolls and take turns attacking the inside. The scene must be very good."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to this kind of picture, which makes me want to pass the ball very much now." Fisher on the side laughed and said jokingly.

"Warriors empty-handed? It sounds really good." Yang Di said.

In fact, Fisher, Richardson and Yang Di did not have any positional conflicts. Of course, they took the initiative to make friends. The other inside players did not come up to talk to Yang Di, and Yang Di was too lazy to post it on the media day. In the end, he left the contact information of Fisher, Richardson, and Dunleavy Jr., and then finished with the simplest body side.

"The fat content is 9.1%, which is not bad." The trainer nodded. The fat content of basketball players is generally between 5% and 10%, especially lower, if it exceeds 10%. It's slightly above the standard, but it's understandable for some players in special positions, such as center forwards. If it's more than 15%, it basically means that they are unqualified. The player Xia Tian must have indulged himself too much.

In the evening, the team had dinner for the first time, and Yang Di met some assistant coaches and trainers of the team. These are colleagues who will often work together in the future.

Then the next day, the rest of the team began taking detailed fitness tests.

With the help of his trainer, Yang Di practiced at a slightly slower pace than others, and the new season is coming.
