Time flies, and Johnny has to come out of this little Xanadu town to play in summer league.

Although Jonny didn't want to participate in this summer league, he felt that participating in this informal game was a waste of time, but Jimmy Adams and Anfernee Hardaway both called him, and they both said that participating in the summer league would be beneficial to them. Good thing, Jonny came out of Lockwood and rushed directly to Orlando.

And Jonny stayed in Orlando for only a few days, because the team had assembled long ago, and set off directly to Long Beach, California, where the summer league was held.

And in this team, Jonny also saw an acquaintance, that is, Amal McCasgill, who was his teammate in the Chicago training camp.

Amal McCasgill saw Johnny again, he had mixed feelings. When he first met Jonny in Chicago, McCasgill was very disdainful of this training camp teammate, even he I feel that I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and I will have such a teammate who is not well-known and perhaps not capable.

But then they played the first game together, and of course the last game. Jonny played the best of the five of them, and Anthony Walker, who was highly valued by him, was actually the worst of them all. .After being eliminated in the first round of the training camp competition, they never met again.

Immediately afterwards, in the draft, the Magic selected Jonny in the first round, which surprised McCasgill, because he had already received the draft promise from the Magic. Next, he is likely to be Jonny’s teammate, and What happened next confirmed this.

McCasgill found himself a teammate of Jonny, a player he had looked down upon, who had been drafted ahead of him by the same team and paid more.

Of course, McCasgill adjusted well. He became very enthusiastic after seeing Jonny, and he didn't seem to look down on Jonny at all.

Johnny is naturally not a smiley person, and he is also very enthusiastic about McCasgill. The two have become the best relationship in the team now.

And in this summer league team, like Jonny and McCasgill, there are still a few people who hold the magic guarantee contract. This year is Daryl Armstrong, a third-year student, and his position is point guard; Brian Evans, the player that the Magic was going to choose, but because of Jonny's sudden appearance, Brian Evans was finally selected in the second round, and then he was waived and joined the Magic. His position is Small forward; David Vaughan, the first-round rookie selected by the Magic last year, is a power forward; Clifford Lochier, a third-year student who was cut by the Warriors, had 7 points and 7 rebounds in his rookie season, but because of Injury, has been given up by the Warriors, and signed a basic salary contract with the Magic this summer.

Except for these players, the other players are some undrafted rookies and marginal players in the league.The players with contracts are naturally the players that the Magic focus on training, and none of these players overlaps with Jonny's position, so Jonny's position as the starting shooting guard is still very stable.

Arriving in Long Beach, California, the Magic players chose their jerseys under the leadership of the coach. Jonny chose to choose a number 27, which is the number he was selected by the Magic.Seeing this, McCasgill finally chose No. 20, which is also the number that the Magic selected him. The Magic selected him with the 20th overall pick in the second round.

This time the Magic led the team to participate in the summer league, not the Magic head coach Brian Hill, but the team's assistant coach Rich Adubatu.

Adubatu smiled kindly at Johnny, and then clapped his hands to get the players together.

"This year's summer league is held in Long Beach, California. We will play five games. The opponents in these five games are the 5ers, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Chinese national team, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. .We don’t have tactics in the summer league, everyone can cooperate freely and play brilliant statistics and records, that’s enough.” Adubatu spoke quickly, and then let the players train freely.

Jonny thought about the schedule that Adubatu just said, the 76ers?It seems to be the team where the No. [-] pick is, right?And the Chinese national team?Hearing this name, Jonny's face was a little strange, as well as the Los Angeles Lakers, that nasty Kupchak, that weird Kobe Bryant.

Jonny felt that the training was boring, and the whole team seemed to have no opponents, because Adubatu did not arrange tactics or other training courses, so they had been playing relaxed intra-team competitions, and Jonny found that this Only the team really has no opponent for him.

The shooting guard or the small forward who switched defenses in this team, no matter who they are, can’t prevent Jonny’s breakthrough. Now Jonny’s side is the main team wearing the main vest. The starting point guard is Da Riel Armstrong, the starting shooting guard is naturally Jonny, the starting small forward is Brian Evans, the starting power forward is David Vaughn, and Amal McCasgill is the starting center.

The starting shooting guard on the bench is called Jabari Kanan. He is a white shooting guard who is good at shooting three-pointers, but his defense is a bit poor. Facing Johnny's Eurostep, he can only watch as Johnny goes inside again and again. rush.So soon the substitute team switched defenses. The strong small forward Mark Henry defended Johnny, but he still couldn't defend.

In the end, Adubatu on the sidelines saw Jonny rushing into the inside line of the substitute team time and time again with skillful European steps, and then scored. For such a Jonny, Adubatu was very satisfied, and said in his heart: It seems that this is another successful choice for John!

As for Jonny’s style of play, Darryl Armstrong also felt comfortable, because Jonny continued to break through, and the defensive focus of the substitute team was placed on Jonny. As a result, Daryl Armstrong got a lot of opportunities , and the cooperation again and again made him and Johnny more and more familiar.

The boring training passed quickly, and Jonny came off the court dripping with sweat, and went directly to the bathroom of this arena to take a shower. The arena the Magic rented in Long Beach is still very good, at least in the bathroom. There is no shortage of hot water.

Darryl Armstrong and Amal McCasgill also walked in. McCasgill greeted Jonny, smiled and stood beside Jonny to take a shower.Armstrong, on the other hand, was standing quietly in the opposite shower taking a shower, thinking about how to greet Jonny.

Seeing McCasgill standing next to him, Jonny involuntarily hid.

This made McCasgill laugh out loud: "Haha, Johnny, I'm not a rabbit, don't be afraid!"

Johnny curled his lips: "Who knows?"

At this time, Darryl Armstrong felt that he could intervene, and he said nervously in his heart: "Yeah, who knows? But Amal is so tall, I think he has to squat down!"

And this nervous word caused Jonny and McCasgill to laugh wildly. This little man is so funny, he can think so richly.

"That's right, so Darryl, you are the biggest suspect, because you don't need to squat down at all!" McCasgill panted with a laugh.

Johnny couldn't help laughing either.

All of a sudden, they fought into a ball.
