NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 16 Training Camp

During Li Zhi's training period, several major transactions that shocked the league appeared in the NBA one after another.

Bear the brunt of the Celtics formed the "Big Three" that shocked the league.

The Celtics had a record of 24 wins and 58 losses last season, which made them last in the league. However, in 2007, the Celtics only got the No. 5 pick.

As early as in the draft, the Celtics sent No. [-] rookie Jeff Green to the Sonics in exchange for Seattle's head guard Ray Allen.

In order to get Ray Allen, the Celtics not only paid Green, but also sent away Delonte West and Szczerbiak.

Poor Jeff Green, he was sent to the Sonics before he could prove that he was better than Zhi Li.

Li Zhi had to sigh with pity for this guy.

Afterwards, the Celtics traded Al Jefferson, Delfair, Gerald Green and two future first-round picks plus some cash for Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett.

This transaction immediately detonated the entire league.

……

Kevin Garnett is 31 years old, has won one regular season MVP, one All-Star MVP, four rebounding champions, experienced 10 All-Stars, one Western Conference Finals, and countless failures.

Paul Pierce is 30 years old, has made the NBA All-Rookie Team, two NBA All-NBA Teams, experienced five All-Stars, one Eastern Conference Finals, and countless failures.

Ray Allen, 32 years old, set an NBA record for three-pointers in a single season, won an All-Star three-pointer, experienced seven All-Stars, one Eastern Conference Finals, and countless failures.

All are asking: Can they get better?
Three [-]-year-old "losers" met this summer, and everything changed...

With their love for basketball, they declared to the world: kill all those who doubt us!
There is no doubt that the Celtics have become the biggest winners this summer, and the three superstars at the end of their peak years will launch the final impact on the championship this season.

……

At this time in Oakland, a teenager from the East also stepped into the NBA for the first time.

As a rookie who was traded on draft night, it is enough to be optimistic about the importance the Warriors place on Li Zhi.

But not everyone likes this young man from the East.

These include general managers Chris Mullin and Baron Davis.

This Chinese kid broke their plan.

Warriors owner Chris Cohan has long been jealous of the Chinese market effect brought by the Rockets' acquisition of Yao Ming.

There were three Chinese players participating in the draft this year, and even two of them were lottery. Chris Cohan was extremely excited and ordered Mullin to scoop up one of Yi Jianlian and Li Zhi.

At this time, the old coach Don Nelson called for Li Zhi by name, which made Cohan finally stop the Garnett deal.

……

A black-faced Cadillac sports car parked in the parking lot of the Oracle Arena, the door opened, and a tall Asian man wearing a Warriors training suit stepped out of the car.

This is Li Zhi who came to the training camp, and the car belongs to Renault.

As the price for Renault to eat and drink for free, Li Zhi unceremoniously drove away Renault's luxury car.

Li Zhi stepped into the arena and had to marvel at the NBA's infrastructure.

In my previous life, I played in China, and the arena was a level worse than the NBA.

Li Zhi stopped and went alone and finally found the training hall, but he couldn't help it, it was too big.

The players in the training hall are doing their own training.

"George?" Li Zhi heard a hoarse voice calling himself, turned around and found that it was the head coach Don Nelson.

"Hi, coach, good morning!" Li Zhi said respectfully, hoping to give the coach a good impression.

"I thought you were still sleeping in. It looks like you are a good boy!" Don Nelson was not as strict as he imagined, and even teased Li Zhi.

"I'm sorry, coach, I got lost in the arena today!" Li Zhi explained to Nelson in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Nelson waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I understand, let's go and gather?"

Li Zhi hurried to the lounge to change clothes.

A group of people who were training on the court, headed by Baron Davis and Al Harrington, burst into low-pitched laughter when they saw Li Zhi walking towards the waiting room.

"Hmph, Chinese kid, let me teach you a lesson first."

thought Baron Davis.

Li Zhi walked into the waiting room, and what he saw was the No. 5 locker of the team's star Baron Davis. On both sides were the No. 8 of the starting guard and last season's most improved player in the league, Monta Ellis and No. 1 of "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson, and then the wardrobes of other players.

What Li Zhi didn't expect was that his locker was behind Monta Ellis. Generally speaking, the position of the locker represents a player's status in the team, so I am valued?
Li Zhi thought happily, it seemed that he was about to perform well.

Li Zhi took out his own jersey - No. 3 from his bag.

Since the No. 1 that Li Zhi likes has been used by Stephen Jackson in the Warriors, in order to show his friendliness to the veteran, Li Zhi had to change to another jersey.

Walking into the locker, Li Zhi couldn't wait to put on his shirt.

The moment Li Zhi opened the locker, a musty smell came from inside!

It's beer!
Suddenly, Li Zhi burst into anger.

Now if Li Zhi still doesn't understand what happened, he shouldn't be in the NBA.

There is no doubt that I was taught my first lesson in the NBA by the old NBA players.

But even if he knew it, Li Zhi couldn't swallow it in his heart.

To live a new life, never let it go, and live a chic and unrestrained life!

This is Li Zhi's promise to himself, and also to his past life.

"Hmph, since you guys can't tolerate me, don't blame me for not allowing you!"

……

"bang bang bang"

The sound of basketball hitting the floor is endless.

Seeing Li Zhi dribbling alone on the sidelines, Baron Davis and others on the court laughed unscrupulously.

"brush!"

The three-pointer hit the net, and Monta Ellis looked at the laughing people on the court, turned his head and said to Stephen Jackson.

"Jack? Anything funny?"

Stephen Jackson glanced at the crowd, put down the basketball in his hand, and walked towards Monta Ellis.

"It's not Davis and Al, shameless, just playing dirty tricks!"

Monta Ellis frowned, puzzled.

Stephen Jackson slapped him, pointing to Li Zhi who was dribbling alone without saying a word.

Seeing Li Zhi's livid face, Monta Ellis instantly understood something, and then his face darkened.

On his first day in the NBA, Baron Davis did the same with his locker.

　Just woke up and found out that Anthony went to the Thunder. After a summer of "announcement light bulb", it's too much, Anthony!Let's comfort you with a recommendation ticket!
