Chapter 119 Street basketball should also be developed

After leaving the Big Apple, the Sonics moved to Charlotte before returning to the West.

But he didn't go back to Seattle directly, but went to Minnesota to fight the Timberwolves.

The record of the entire Western Conference slowly began to step up. The Sonics and Utah Jazz were obviously the only ones, followed by the Lakers and Rockets.

The Timberwolves of this period have not been in the league for long.

In the middle of last season, Philip Saunders replaced Bill Blair as the Timberwolves' head coach, and the team slowly emerged from a stagnant pool.

Then they sent the team's Lakener and Sean Rooks to the Hawks to help the rookie Kevin Garnett who had just entered the league.

In the summer, the team sent away the three-year guard Isiah Leder (the fifth overall pick in 1993).

In the previous two years, Ryder averaged 20+ points per game, but off-court problems continued, including being late, missing training, missing the team plane, spitting at fans and airport staff, attacking others and hiding marijuana.

So even though it seems that the talent is not bad, the Timberwolves still can't stand it, and they are sent to the Trail Blazers who are willing to take over, in exchange for Bill Curry, James Robinson and a conditional first-round pick in 97 and 98.

In the previous game against the Trail Blazers, he was in the suspension period, so Qin Fei had never seen him.

The Timberwolves have made drastic reforms, the team has been streamlined and slimmed down, and the favorite point guard Stephen Marbury was brought in during the draft. The team has changed from a mess to a positive one.

So even if Marbury was unlucky and was injured at the beginning of the season, the Timberwolves had a good record. They were 5 wins and 7 losses before the Supersonics, ranking tenth in the Western Conference.

Marbury confirmed that he was back in the game against the Sonics. Before his comeback, the team doctor conducted a comprehensive examination on him. Coach Saunders told him that there was no need to rush back to prove himself.

"No, coach, I've really recovered."

Marbury tried his best to express that he didn't want to compete with Qin Fei, but after the comeback time was confirmed, the outside world still believed that Marbury, who also came out of New York, was really in a hurry.

The local evening paper wrote: Although it is not recommended that Stephen Marbury come back so early, we can also see his competitiveness and fighting spirit from this matter. I think after Marbury comes back, there is no dispute about the title of the No. [-] rookie guard in the Western Conference. This belongs to Minnesota.

Early morning, Minneapolis.

In the hotel where the Supersonics stayed, Qin Fei held milk in one hand and carefully read the newspaper in the other.

"Morning!"

Payton was the first to come to have breakfast. He was not surprised to see Qin Feichuan wearing sportswear and sweating slightly on his forehead.

"Have you been exercising again?"

"Yes, it didn't rain in the morning, so I went out for a morning run."

"You Chinese have a strange schedule." Peyton laughed. Qin Fei not only likes to get up early for exercise, but also often finds a place to take a nap at noon.

"You should nourish your kidneys when you are young." Qin Fei spread his hands.

This restaurant is the hotel's self-service cafeteria. Peyton went to get some food, and then sat opposite Qin Fei. He saw Qin Fei reading a newspaper, so he also went to get a newspaper to read.

After a while, assistant coach Bob also came to the restaurant, and he sat on the other side.

"Qin, did you watch the video tape I gave you last night?"

Bob is now Qin Fei's leader in charge. The trainer is usually responsible for training Qin Fei's body and tactics, while Bob is responsible for improving Qin Fei's tactical understanding, so it is normal to secretly insert a video tape to watch movies.

"seen"

"Yes, you are mainly responsible for the defense of their substitute wing player Sam Mitchell. You must have figured out the technical characteristics of this player."

"Hahaha, yes" Qin Fei's biggest impression of Sam Mitchell was when he was a coach.

Yes, later he coached the Raptors team who had 81 points scored by a certain player

But he didn't say that no one knows about it now, and Qin Fei is also very suspicious. After he comes, OK will disintegrate?Can this thing still happen normally?

Payton talked about Timberwolves rookie Stephon Marbury.

"I'm going to defend Stephon Marbury myself today."

amount

Is it the bad taste of the league's top defender?But Qin Fei saw a trace of seriousness in Peyton's eyes.

"Look what's written here."

Payton put down the newspaper, and Qin Fei took it over to take a look, only to see that there was a large report on the character communication in the newspaper-a powerful challenger to the kingship of the Western defender: Stephen Marbury.

"You can't believe everything in the newspaper, right?"

"I didn't believe what they said, but I just taught a lesson to the rookies who are coming back. I think it is very necessary." Payton laughed, and sometimes he would understand the joy of saying "Welcome to the NBA" to a rookie when he is a veteran.

"Okay." Qin Fei thought to himself that it is better to enjoy the shade under the big tree. If there is any top perimeter defender, he will definitely not come to guard him. There are some players in the Sonics who are better on the perimeter and worthy of defense.

For example, Peyton, who is laughing so loudly now that his voice echoes throughout the restaurant.

When I saw Marbury, it was in the training hall in the afternoon.

The old horse trains very seriously and attaches great importance to this game.

"Okay, New York was beaten badly two days ago." Marbury and Qin Fei hugged each other with high fives.

"It's okay, it's not mainly my problem." Qin Fei laughed. Do good things spread thousands of miles?

Marbury wasn't too envious, he had trained in the team, and he felt that scoring [-] points in a game in the NBA wasn't too difficult.

The reason why the media wrote so much about Qin Fei's performance is because Qin Fei is currently the only Chinese in the NBA, and the other reason is that Qin Fei is known for his defense. As a result, he scored 19 points in a game. The contrast is too great.

"Did you encounter [Rhythm] this time?"

When Marbury mentioned this, Qin Fei blinked and didn't quite understand. He only met a strange little scalper this time.

"What's up with him?"

"It's nothing. This summer, Rock Park played well in the summer league. Now he seems to be looking for cooperation with AND1 to see if he can expand the influence of the league."

"AND1?"

Of course Qin Fei knew about this sneaker brand, but why did it have something to do with AND1 again.

When Marbury saw Qin Fei's appearance, he thought that Qin Fei knew about it, and said a lot: "You know, I signed a contract with AND1 before."

Marbury signed with AND1?Qin Fei really didn't know about it, and it wasn't written in the newspaper!

"I am the first NBA spokesperson signed by AND1 in history. Of course, a player like me who is not afraid of power and unrestrained is also in line with their brand value. [Rhythm] told me that he is going to promote Love as a new business card of Rock Park. Of course, the premise is that Love is willing to play street games instead of professional leagues."

There is such a thing?Of course Qin Fei knew about Alstom, the two had played against each other in the summer.

Alstom to play streetball?

He can’t comment on this, but he feels quite reliable. Street basketball is also an important part of basketball culture. It should be vigorously publicized and promoted just like competitive sports. Moreover, many contents of street basketball culture represent a positive spirit.

Just like the term "AND ONE" on the basketball court, this kind of two plus one scoring is the most proud performance of a basketball player. It reflects the persistent spirit of being able to face unfair treatment or even violations proudly and win. It is full of passion, powerful and unstoppable.
