Chapter 7 Summer League 1
The next day, Huang Jun wore a suit and attended a press conference with Jason Williams and Asik. This was the first time that Huang Jun faced a large group of media. I don't know if he would have stage fright?
Huang Jun showed everyone the jersey number he will wear in the new season, No. 3. This is his favorite number.
Asik originally wanted to wear size three, but Huang Jun wanted to wear size three, so he changed it to twelve. One plus two just equals three, that's what it means.
Jason Williams chose the No. 55 jersey, the same as the number at the Heat.
Then they attended the press conference and prepared to be interviewed by reporters.
Reporter I said, "Huang, are you very surprised that you were selected with such a high ranking in the second round in the first round?"
Huang Jun didn't even think about it and said, "It's really a surprise. I didn't dare to imagine that I would be selected in the second place before. This is a great affirmation of my strength, so I'm very happy that the Cavaliers are a great team, and it's my honor to play for this team." Huang Jun still knows what to say.
Reporter II said, "Do you need a lot of ball rights in hand? How do you coexist with James? Before the new season began, the reporter began to sow discord. This is what the reporter specializes in. If there is a little hope, he will definitely go to the end.
"Ha ha ha, I think it's too early to worry about this now, right? I believe that James and I can have a good chemistry. I'm a point guard. I don't need to explain the meaning of the point guard to you, right? Huang Jun counterattacked the reporter mercilessly. He would not tolerate the reporter who had the intention of provoking discord, even if he offended the reporter.
Reporter II is very embarrassed and dares not say anything. He is just a small reporter. He can't be compared with reporters in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles. He can only swallow it helplessly.
A reporter from Los Angeles asked, "Our Lakers have also selected a Chinese defender, and we will sign with Sun Yue this season, so that we have two Chinese defenders. What will you do when you face them on the field for the first time? Or how do you feel?
"How to put it, the feeling I give can only be described as strange, and I wish myself and the other party an excellent performance on the field. Of course, I haven't encountered this situation yet. I didn't know how to reply to you until I experienced it. Please allow me to reply to you next time," Huang Jun said with a smile.
The media reporter from Los Angeles instantly had a good impression on Huang Jun. Although he did not like Knight James, it still did not affect the good impression that Huang Jun brought to him.
New York media reporter said, "What do you think of Jason Williams? And this year's rookie Asik,"
"Jason is a master of passing art. I hope I can learn his art under his door. I believe he can bring great help to the knights. The injury ruined him, but I believe he can stand up again. For the newcomer Asik, I believe he can also help us a lot. Although we haven't fought together yet, I still believe it," Huang Jun said.
After that, Huang Jun answered all the reporters' questions one by one. Although he sat on the stage and was interviewed by the media for the first time, Huang Jun really didn't feel stage fright at all.
When Jason was asked how to watch this year's No. 2 show, his answer was very simple.
"The eye show proves his extraordinaryness. I believe in the knight's vision. He will be an important member of the Cavaliers second only to James. He just mentioned that he wanted to learn my passing. I am very happy to teach him that you will witness a rising star. Let's wait and see. Jason answered this question like this.
After that, the press conference ended with several non-nutritious topics.
In the next few days, Huang Jun trained very carefully under the guidance of the trainer of the Cavaliers, and automatically practiced every day.
All the Cavaliers players know that their team has a little Kobe. It's crazy. They come earlier than anyone else in the morning, and it's not a little earlier than anyone else. They go back later than anyone else. That kind of desperate energy, everyone is moved until they see it, and it's nothing more than Kobe's training.
In addition to training, Huang Jun also supplemented his knowledge of basketball, rules and so on. Da Ben also taught Huang Jun to use small actions to harass in defense, and Jason Williams taught Huang Jun the art of passing the ball, which made Huang Jun extremely excited and spent every day in a busy life.
Although it is still early, Asik and Huang Jun began to train, and there were some rookies who were not selected. Daben and Jason sacrificed their off-season time to teach Huang Jun and Asik.
This is the meaning of the team with a lot of experience, which is what newcomers lack.
Time is spent in training day by day, and I have spent more than a week. During this period, many failed rookies also joined in, because the summer league is about to start, and they also want to be favored and signed, because they need this job. Many rookie families are not in good condition, so they have to work hard.
The players of the Cavaliers in the summer league last season have been confirmed to participate in Gibson, Wright and Alexander Pavlovich. Except for Gibson, the other two players who basically played in junk time last season, and their purpose of participating in the summer league is very simple, so that they can have more opportunities to play in the new season.
The Cavaliers will need to participate in four summer leagues this year, which will be a good thing for Huang Jun, but the quality of the game is not so high.
The Cavaliers' first summer league will face the Bulls with the top show. The confrontation between the top players and the top players is very interesting to everyone. It is also in the first position. The game is directly opposite. Who is stronger and who is weak?
On July 8, in the first summer league, the Bulls played against the Cavaliers, and China's Central Five set of the game was broadcast live. Because the game received too much attention, the game was specially arranged to the Magic Arena for the game.
The last summer league with so much attention dates back to 2003, when the game was the premiere of James and Wade.
Everyone wants to know whether the champion is the best or the best. Of course, James will go to the scene to watch the battle.
The Bulls announced the lineup for the first game in the summer league the day before yesterday. Last year, No. 9 rookie Noah Haoran was on the list. The Bulls' lineup was stronger than the Cavaliers' lineup in the summer league.
But in fact, the lineup has not been changed because of this. The summer league is a stage for newcomers to exercise and a stage for proof.
On July 8, it was only about 30 minutes before the start of the game. A lot of people came to the scene, both the fans of the Cavaliers and the Bulls, and almost filled the stadium. However, the tickets for the summer league were very cheap, just a little more expensive than a cabbage.
The head coach of the Bulls, Del Negro, is the new head coach of the Bulls this year, and this game is also his proof game. The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown, who is famous for his defense.
Before the game, both sides made a simple arrangement. Let's explore each other first, and we will decide how to do it later.
"Today's broadcast of the NBA Summer League is the Bulls against the Cavaliers. This game was specially arranged in the Magic's stadium due to concerns. The focus of this game is undoubtedly against the top scorer." Yoga continued, "The list is officially the defender of our country, so we hereby bring you the live broadcast of this game. The game will start soon. Let's go to the scene together and see how the game will be?"
The game begins.
The starting lineup of the Cavaliers, Huang Jun, Gibson, Pavlovic, Wright, Asik. The starting lineup of the Bulls: Ross, Longford, Nichols, Thomas and Noah.
Noah and Asik jump ball in the middle circle.
Asik was defeated without surprise. The ball was allocated to Noah in front of Ross, and the Bulls without any surprise took the lead in starting the first attack of the game.
Rose controlled the ball, and Huang Jun kept an eye on it. Ross has a very strong body, which is very rare in the point guard. It also helps Ross a lot and is full of explosive power.
According to the requirements of the coach before the game, Noel came up to cover Ross. Ross took this opportunity to directly pass Huang Jun and rushed under the basket. Ross's speed was also very fast. The next second he directly hit the inside line, jumped high, and was ready to slam dunk.
Asik didn't agree. He jumped high, directly covered the ball, got the ball that was still in the air, and threw it directly to Huang Jun, who was ready to go down.
Huang Jun received the ball without any hesitation, and directly ran towards the opponent's half-time with his wind-like speed.
Looking at the basket in front of him, which is slowly getting closer and closer to him, Huang Junxin said, "Let my first ball prove whether I deserve to be on the list or not."
At the moment when he just passed the free throw line, Huang Jun jumped high.
Everyone began to cover their mouths and looked at the figure in shock. No matter who was the superstar sitting on the sidelines watching the battle, he was shocked. What on earth would he do? Although he has passed the free throw line, it is not simple. You should know that Huang Jun is a Chinese. The physique of the Chinese is far inferior to that of black people, but it is only recognized by the world.
Huang Jun jumped high and glided in the air, followed by a one-handed dunk. Because he glided too far, Huang Jun didn't have much strength when he finally dunked, so in everyone's opinion, this dunk could not be regarded as a slam dunk.
But there was still a tsunami-like applause at the scene. James clapped hard on the sidelines, which made Wade, who came to watch the battle with him, extremely depressed.
Because Wade's face was accidentally hit by James, because he took too hard and didn't notice Wade beside him, so this happened.
Wade looked at the weak body on the court and regretted it. "Why didn't you rob it? I gave James such a helper for nothing, alas"
