The Fifth Point Guard

The last time his dribbling attributes burned was when he practiced dribbling crazily with Arenas.

Later, the upper and lower limits of dribbling have made great breakthroughs.

It shows that the practice at that time was very in place.

And this physical fitness and strength training directly ignited the two attributes.

Strength, guaranteed confrontation.

Bounce, create space.

Shen Tong saw the importance of strength training.

In fact, this is easy to figure out.

For example, if the Chinese men's basketball team only counts the first quarter, it is definitely a world-class team.

From the second quarter on, things went from bad to worse.

Why can't I hold on anymore?

Physical fitness and stamina are not enough.

But at the end of the day, power!

Strength ensured to last.

Strength guarantees hardness.

Durability and hardness are issues that every man cannot avoid.

Since the report, Shentong has spent every day in pain and suffering.

Once upon a time, Shentong thought that playing basketball meant playing on the court.

Training is to practice dribbling and practice shooting.

But now it feels to Shentong that it is closed military training.

Cultural class in the morning, practice in the afternoon

After several days of training, Shen Tong and Jefferson found out that Derek Allen had a nickname, "Devil Trainer".

I remember when I was in school, there was always that one person who just smiled at you and defeated you.

For example, the head teacher standing outside the window.

Absolutely oppressive existence.

And now.

When Allen appeared with a smile.

The rookies, including Shen Tong, are shivering in their calves

"Let's take it easy today."

do not.

The first week was like hell.

Shen Tong, who loves basketball, has never felt that the training time is so long.

Especially when it comes to fitness and strength training.

Live like years.

Mentally on the verge of collapse.

There is no place on the whole body that is not painful.

This muscle soreness even affects dribbling and shooting.

After two weeks, began to gradually adapt.

Be it spirit or body.

As the saying goes.

It's cool to play iron for a while, and it's always cool to use iron all the time.

Muscle soreness began to gradually disappear.

Instead, the body seems to learn to breathe.

It seems to have lost weight too.

Even the gravity of the earth has become smaller.

a month later.

Shen Tong has fully adapted to Allen's devil training.

I even feel that my vision on the court is much clearer.

Calluses on the hands are like mushrooms after rain.

have emerged.

Sometimes it hurts.

The time for the preseason is getting closer and closer.

One day during shooting practice, Shen Tong heard the news about Michael Jordan's comeback.

"Jason, have you heard? Michael is coming back." Kenyon Martin had a big mouth.

Kidd seemed to have heard something.

"There is a little bit of wind, I heard that he is not very happy in the management of the Wizards, and he plans to play in person."

Hearing the discussion between Martin and Kidd, Van Horn, who has always been very curious, immediately joined in.

Shen Tong, who had just finished shooting practice, happened to be wiping his sweat nearby.

Hastily pricked up his ears.

"I saw Michael in a training camp. He was recovering from training. His body was very fat and he hadn't played for 3 years. Can he still do it?" Van Horn's tone was full of enthusiasm. doubt.

Kidd raised his eyebrows: "He's Michael."

"Do you know why Michael came back?" Martin shook his head and said with emotion, "He has already achieved great success, 6 championships, wow"

Kidd's answer was quick.

"Michael doesn't need any reason to do things. As long as he believes in something, he will definitely do it. But I think Michael's competitiveness is at work. I heard that some stupid CNN reporter put Kobe, Vince and others in front of Michael. Touting it made Michael feel offended. Moreover, as a minority shareholder of the Wizards, I think Michael is definitely not willing to buy a team of his own. Ticket sales continue to rank at the bottom of the league. Even in business, Michael I won’t admit defeat easily.”

"Well, it fits Michael's personality," Martin said.

not far away.

"Hey, guys, training isn't over yet, who's next?" Byron Scott roared.

Wow Michael.

God of basketball.

Although that incident did not happen in this time and space, Jordan still made a comeback.

Michael Jordan, and the four shooting guards.

The five talents at shooting guard will all be assembled this season.

Thinking of these, Shentong was very excited.

Be able to become a member of the torrent of NBA history and write your own picture.

What an exciting event!

The time for the first preseason game has been confirmed.

Wednesday, October 24.

The opponent is the fourth in the Eastern Conference last year, the New York Knicks.

And October 21st is the day when the Nets hold their first press conference before the new season.

At that time, four rookies will appear in front of the media at the same time.

Unbeknownst to Shentong, he has already set off a wave of discussions in China.

"It's amazing that a Chinese guard can enter the NBA!"

"It's incredible, two Chinese players joined the NBA at the same time this year!"

"Shentong? Who is he, and why is he so unknown in China?"

"I watched him play in the NCAA Finals. He was just a substitute, and he wasn't quite sure about his three-point shots."

Before the press conference, the Nets signed a rookie contract with Shen Tong and others.

Richard Jefferson, as the No. 13 rookie in the first round, got the highest salary contract among the four, 6.8 million in 4 years.

Jason Collins, who was selected with the 18th pick in the first round, has a slightly lower contract than Jefferson, reaching 5.4 million in four years.

Next is guard Brandon Armstrong, the 23rd pick in the first round, with 4.1 million in 4 years.

In the end, Shentong was selected in the second round, with 840,000 US dollars in 2 years. The annual salary in the first year was only 330,000, and in the second year it was 510,000.

Although I got the dollar, STO was a little depressed.

The total salary he got was only a fraction of Jefferson's.

"Shen, you have to know that the rookie contract corresponds to the draft pick. Although we believe that you have the strength of the first round pick, this is also a business."

Before signing, general manager Bernard King explained the cheap contract to STO.

Without any hesitation, Shentong quickly signed his name.

Shentong believes that through its own efforts and performance, it will definitely win a big contract for itself in two years.

What he values ​​more is this opportunity to enter the NBA.

There is a long way to go.

I will search up and down.

The day after tomorrow is the press conference, and the team assistant asked Shen Tong for his jersey number for the new season.

"Is anyone using the 25th?"

"Wait a minute, Shen, I'll check it out." The assistant quickly flipped through the notebook in his hand, "Well, no."

"Okay, I want the 25th."

"It's been recorded, it's done, I wish you all the best in the new season."

"Thank you, Susan."
