Chapter 102 Someone Is Always Watching You

The pace of training was very fast. After the episode, everyone continued to train and Qin Fei made his debut.

I observed it off the court just now, and the overall offensive and defensive rhythm of the Sonics is amazing, and watching it from a close distance is even more unimaginable confrontation.

It's no wonder that the first lesson for almost all rookies entering the league is to gain weight and enhance confrontation, unless it is some fat man who asks to lose weight.

"Let me counterpoint Curry."

Qin Fei volunteered.

Snow looked at him very strangely. It was you who was playing against him. What were you thinking?

This is Payton's seventh year in Seattle.

Seattle has another unique charm. Although the market is small and remote, the players who play here have a unique feeling. Unless they really can't do it later, half of them can play for many years after becoming stars.

Payton's body is very good and he is the iron man of the league.

In just the first six years of his career, he missed a total of two games.

When Qin Fei posted it, the 28-year-old Peyton couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. He thought he was so young back then!

But he immediately threw away these emotions and devoted himself to training with great concentration.

In a loud voice that everyone can hear, he said with a smile: "Look, our draft talent is on the field, you little brat."

Qin Fei wondered if he should give some response?

But what the other side said makes sense!

Then Payton didn't say anything, turned to training, and called the players to move.

Payton wanted to pass the ball and directly faced Qin Fei's defense from beyond the three-point line.

Qin Fei bent down and opened his arms, his defensive movements were very standard.

"Sam Sam, come out and block!"

Peyton beckoned, Qin Fei thought it was another high pick-and-roll, looked at it from the corner of his eye, and saw a huge body blocking the side.

This is the difference between the college game and the professional game.

In college games, most of the young players are relatively thin, while in professional games, there are many muscular and strong men everywhere. With this 200-pound meat ton placed here, he felt that his entire vision was half blocked.

The timing of Payton's dribble breakthrough was also very good. At the moment Qin Fei was stuck, he passed the ball with one dribble.

At this time, the inside players of Team B who were defending Sam could help Qin Fei defend.

If you follow the rules of modern basketball, then it’s okay to switch defenses. Anyway, it’s normal for a small defense to be strong, and a big defense to be small. When the time comes, I’m looking for opportunities to switch back.

But not in this era, Qin Fei must continue to chase Payton and cannot switch to Sam.

If Qin Fei switched to Sam, he would be called an illegal defense.

This is another well-known point of illegal defense besides not being able to double-team players without the ball.

So Qin Fei could only go after Peyton.

But at this moment, Payton passed the ball, and a through ball was delivered to Sam who moved away.

At this time, the closest to Sam should be Qin Fei who has not yet left the defensive range, but because Qin Fei wanted to chase Peyton, he didn't respond in time, so it should be possible to switch defenses at this time.

If he didn't want to switch defenses, then the inside players of the B team who were defending Sam should respond defensively, even if they just waved their hands, so that Qin Fei could continue to chase Payton.

This is only the first day of joint training, how can there be such a tacit understanding.

After Payton has no ball in his hand, it means that Qin Fei and others double-team Payton without the ball.

constitute illegal defense.

George Karl frowned, and immediately blew his whistle.

Peyton grinned heartlessly. The kid was still too young. Although Qin Fei's individual defense ability made him feel amazing just for a moment, there is still a lot to learn, talent alone is not enough.

The training intensity on the first day was not high. After the full-court confrontation training, several new players became familiar with each other.

Snow even invited Qin Fei to have dinner together.

"I also live alone."

He also said this.

Qin Fei's heart trembled, and he remained silent.

After taking a shower, the two went to a restaurant near the arena to have dinner together. During dinner, Snow talked about Mr. Kemp.

"For what reason?"

Qin Fei was very curious, because before he came to Seattle, he heard that Kemp seemed to be a very good person in private, did he look a little irritable today?

"I don't know the specific reason, but I guess I'm still dissatisfied with the team."

"Hey? It's not good to say this directly, right?"

Qin Fei felt that it was too private, but still pricked up his ears and chatted with Snow in a low voice.

After all, Snow is the man who will help Iverson escort in the future. In a certain way, he is a bit like Fisher.

The hard-working players on the bench, the gossip is clear.

"Didn't we sign a lot of big contracts this summer? Not only our team, but you like Juwan Howard, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O'Neal have contracts worth tens of billions."

"Yes, this is a crazy summer. My agent has said that David Falk has made a lot of money."

"Haha, yes, and then there's our team."

When Snow talked about the contracts of the bosses, Qin Fei already understood.

“我们球队里，佩顿和球队签约的是7年8500万，然后萨姆2年600万，何塞霍金斯的5年1800万。”

Snow sighed: "The most important thing is that the third-year player Kemp targeted today, Jim, signed a six-year, $6 million contract with the team."

"And Kemp's 330 million contract is due to expire this year, and he will definitely sign a big contract with a maximum salary next year. The team spends some money on one side and another on the other. It doesn't seem like there is room to sign him. It seems that it is purely to strengthen this year and sprint for the championship."

Snow saw it thoroughly, and after he finished speaking, Qin Fei understood that it was a matter of profit, but the team's spending more than 400 million yuan a year to sign Jim Yeh was indeed too exaggerated.

"Next season, Jim will most likely be the team's starting center. After all, he spent 3000 million. If he sits on the bench, the fans won't allow him."

"Yes," Snow heard Qin Fei say this, he really felt like a kindred spirit, and his comprehension was really good.

"It's time for me to renew my contract next year." Snow also lamented how time flies. He was still a rookie at this time last year, and he was about to think about his next contract in the blink of an eye.

"Will you stay here?" Qin Fei asked.

Snow smiled wryly: "It would be nice to have a contract. As for where to go, let's talk about it at that time. Let's try to get more playing time this year."

Qin Fei thought the same thing. Snow estimated that he would have to play as a substitute for two years before he could make it through. Being a substitute in this era would not be able to get any big contracts.

The start of the regular season this year is a few days later than in previous years, and is scheduled for November 11st.

From the end of September to the first ten days of October, the Sonics practiced together for less than two weeks, and then in the middle and early October, the preseason came.

The preseason is a period of time for the team to finalize the new lineup.

But this year's Supersonic team is in a special situation. The lineup has not changed much. The sprint champions are all the main players. The only problem is that Kemp is not very happy.

Therefore, the top management of the team has been doing Camp's ideological work, and Gary Payton has also been used.

Gary Payton actually didn't want to talk at first, because he himself signed a big contract, how can he persuade Kemp?

But I couldn't bear the coach to say that this year is the best time to win the championship.

Hey, then there is no other way, he signed a big contract, now his mind is full of winning the championship.

Then I don't know what Payton and Kemp said. During the preseason, Kemp had returned to normal, talking and laughing with his teammates.

This doesn't have much to do with Qin Fei, and he doesn't need to worry about it as a rookie.

The really happy thing is that the first wave of salary has arrived, and the sneaker endorsement has been reached with the ticked company.

Originally, it was planned to sign with Fila for 3 years and 800 million US dollars, because the company that ticked the box only offered 4 years of 150 million US dollars, which was very dishonest.

Until it felt like it was really going to lose Qin Fei, Nike became anxious and offered 4 million US dollars in 2000 years, and the price doubled by more than ten cups.

Tellem said that there are still benefits to signing with Nike, and there are many hidden help.

Then Nike was also very sincere, and a special manager flew to Seattle to discuss with Qin Fei, and finally finalized a three-year sneaker contract of 3 million US dollars. Among them, if Qin Fei was selected to the All-Star team, the best team, the best defensive team, and MVP during the contract period, he would also have different additional rewards.

With two contracts in hand, Qin Fei's income has become very objective, which is much better than his beating in the stock market.

After getting his salary, Qin Fei was also very polite, and treated his good friend Snow in Seattle to a big meal, and the two gossiped about the unpredictability of the main players like a barometer.

Then I lamented that the pressure of competition in the NBA is high, the job of earning money is not so easy to do, and there are always people staring at my position.

After the big meal, he was on time the next day and showed up in the arena as usual.

Then sweat it out, then drill yourself so you don't fall over the edge
