Chapter 268 New Rockets Aids

On February 2, after the All-Star Game, the Rockets started team training for the first time in order to cope with tomorrow's game and get back some status for themselves.

In the training hall.

The atmosphere of the Rockets team seemed a bit weird. The people who usually talked and laughed didn't seem to have much interest in chatting.

and.

The team's original noisy crowd is now only more than half, and some familiar faces no longer appear.

Inside the three-point line, Qin Tao focused on practicing his shooting. Even though he knew what happened, it was the wisest choice not to speak.

Harden, Jeremy Lin, and Asik seemed to know something. They were a little absent-minded and glanced at the gate of the arena from time to time.

Soon.

Kevin McHale finally returned to the arena after disappearing for more than half an hour, but he was not alone. Daryl Morey followed closely.

It was found that, except for Qin Tao, everyone's training had paused, and their expressions were slightly complicated.

Coming to the edge of the court, Darrell Morey and McHale looked at each other, but they didn't speak, but looked at the gate of the arena.

Sudden.

With the appearance of several familiar and unfamiliar faces, Qin Tao finally stopped his movements, and Harden and the others subconsciously gathered towards him.

"Trading?" Harden asked without much surprise in his words, as if he was talking to himself.

Qin Tao turned his head to look at him, spread his hands, nodded and said, "It looks like this."

As part of the transaction, Francisco Garcia, Thomas Robinson, and the comrade who added the head were already walking to the stadium.

but.

Qin Tao took a good look at Garcia, but then he looked at the last person.

Today's Patrick Beverly does not have the explosive hair style of a few years later, with a round inch, and he does not feel that his body is as strong as he will be a few years later.

But this guy is not only acquainted, but also feels more casual. He doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and before Morey introduces him, he goes up to greet him warmly.

"Hey guys, I'm Patrick Beverley, I just got home from damn Europe, and we're going to play for the Rockets together."

Say it.

Beverly walked straight to the court, not to others, but to Qin Tao and the others.

look at him.

The three of Harden, Jeremy Lin and Asik basically feel a little bit repulsive.

Honestly.

Beverly looks too familiar, they don't like it yet.

but.

Qin Tao smiled, and when Beverly came to him, he stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, buddy."

The sudden reaching out not only surprised Beverly, but also the three of Harden.

To know.

With the arrival of Beverly, although his detailed information and playing position are not yet clear, judging only from his height, this guy must be a member of the back line.

also.

Apart from disliking his familiarity, they were also a little disgusted with his slightly aggressive eyes.

If the team does not find a rotation player for the team, but a main substitute, and even has more expectations, then this is fine for Harden, but it is a bad signal for Jeremy Lin.

and so.

After Qin Tao showed kindness, Jeremy Lin was the first to show an unhappy expression.

But the NBA is like this. Although he is not sure what troubles his joining will bring to him, Jeremy Lin is still generous after feeling uncomfortable and unhappy. After the exchange between Qin Tao and Beverly, he went up to him and got to know him for a while .

For Qin Tao's kindness, Beverly was really flattered.

He acted quite self-sufficient before, except for his personality, he really has a nervous side.

After all, although he was selected by the Clippers in 08 or 09, he was traded to the Heat. In the first two years, he also got a chance from the Heat and gave him a two-year basic salary contract.

But there are very few opportunities to actually appear in the NBA, and even the summer league is not an unshakable main force.

Needless to say, the final result, after wandering in Europe for the past few years, he was able to return to the NBA again, and he was lucky to get a three-year minimum salary contract from the Rockets. For him, besides cherishing it, the first thing to do It's about building a good relationship with the team so that he can stay here in the end, at least he doesn't want to stay away from his family and wander in a foreign country.

But Qin Tao's kindness gave him a reassurance, and he chatted with them gratefully.

Compared with Beverly's treatment, the veteran Garcia is naturally much more casual, but he is also more measured, and he did not go directly to meet the players like Beverly.

As for Thomas Robinson and the top pick, even if they are the No. 12 fifth pick, they feel quite nervous.

Simply Morey didn't make them wait for a long time. As he introduced them to the team one by one and introduced the team's personnel to them, the atmosphere became more relaxed afterwards.

However, when the newcomers arrive, there will be a time when they will be temporarily isolated, including Garcia, Harden and the others just know each other politely and do not chat further.

Subsequently.

Because there will be a game to be played tomorrow, McHale and Morey put them into the substitute camp considering their new arrivals, and it is still an arrangement that they all play.

Qin Tao and the others understood this arrangement very well, he gave up his position without hesitation, and sat on the sidelines with Motel and the others to watch the battle.

His actions immediately surprised Harden and the others, but they didn't say much, they just said something to Terrence Jones who mentioned Qin Tao.

But Morey and McHale frowned unnaturally, and they looked at each other, seeing puzzlement in each other's eyes.

moment.

This somewhat special game has just begun.

Start here.

Except for the addition of Terrence Jones, Harden and the others remain the same.

The substitute side is led by Carlos Delfino, with Beverly, Garcia, Thomas Robinson, and Greg Smith to cooperate.

At the beginning of the game, Harden and the others seemed to want to give this group of new players a bad start. They were very aggressive, completely put defense aside, and launched an attack like a tide.

However, the performance of the substitute side gave people a clear feeling.

As a well-known defensive champion of Garcia, even though Parsons has grown rapidly, he still struggles a little in front of him.

Greg Smith also seems to have the idea of ​​venting his lack of playing during this period. When facing Asik, he feels quite fierce.

Not to mention Delfino, the performance is absolutely unambiguous.

In addition to their performance, the contest between Jeremy Lin and Beverly is eye-opening.

Just like a few years later, although Beverly wasn't ferocious enough, even cruel, he was obviously very, very determined to stay here, desperately pestering Jeremy Lin, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
