This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 260 The new season is assembled!
In Charlotte in October, the autumn is crisp and clear, with an average temperature between 10°-10°, which is very pleasant.

It has been a full month since Zhou Lin returned to Charlotte after playing the Olympics. This month is the most relaxing month for Zhou Lin since he entered 1, and it may also be the only complete rest month in the whole year.

After returning to the United States and making arrangements for Wang Qi, Zhou Lin started his otaku life. He basked in the sun in the yard, walked his dog, and occasionally went out to visit Brandon Roy’s dad. Roy, can walk now.

In the past two weeks, Zhou Lin has basically never traveled far, except for hiking once.

Durant made an appointment with Zhou Lin for a field game with professional players, but Zhou Lin chose not to go in the end, but from the video he sent, it can be seen that he should be having a good time.

This is Zhou Lin's third season as a professional player. He must know how to relax.

After the Olympics, I returned to the United States in early September to recuperate my body, do some rehabilitation for old injuries, and participate in some commercial activities by the way. The amount of training is not high.

Zhou Lin's weight has also increased from 102kg after the Olympic Games to 105kg. Of course, this is due to the daily feeding of his girlfriend Misha. After going to China for several times, Misha's interest in learning Chinese cooking is unprecedentedly high.

Of course, learning anything requires a process, and Zhou Lin, as a man with a Chinese stomach, naturally assumed the responsibility of tasting. Washington, DC is not far from Charlotte, so almost every weekend and holiday, Misha will come to summer Luo Te went back to the supermarket to purchase various ingredients. After a period of exploration, Misha was finally able to make food that made Zhou Lin not frown.

"Damn it, this troll actually called you a softie, I'm going to scold him severely!"

"Oh my god, that Kevin guy actually liked the troll's comment! I'm going to call him, this man who always smells like a nasty bachelor!"

But recently, Misha seems to be fascinated by another new thing, which is social networking. Twitter and Facebook have become popular in the United States a few years ago. Zhou Lin also registered on Weibo in China. However, Zhou Lin does not have the fun of Kevin Durant who hides in front of the computer screen and smiles with a wretched expression. Every day when he is free, he chats with others on the Internet. Misha is in charge of it, and only visits occasionally. Sometimes Misha will share some of Zhou Lin’s daily life on it. Zhou Lin’s Twitter account has 76 fans, while Weibo has 186 million fans. It can be regarded as the early stage of self-media enlightenment, and it has not yet reached the era when everyone is self-media, so Zhou Lin has a million fans and is considered a super V.

Of course, Zhou Lin is not very interested in playing with social media. Instead, Misha likes to use his account to shout to the netizens. Of course, Zhou Lin prefers to call Misha a keyboard man. In the real world The gentle and pleasant Misha is actually an angry youth in the online world, with her fingers wide open, she has the ability to spray a hundred with one blow.

A few days ago, the NBA2K game announced the player's stats, which can be regarded as a semi-official recognition, and the release of the stats every year will attract a lot of heated discussions, some think it is high, some think it is low, and NBA players There are also many players who will care about these values.

Zhou Lin's 2K value is 87, from 2006 in 78 to 82 last year, and then to 87 this year, Zhou Lin's progress is not small.

Although the ability value of 87 is already the highest in the Charlotte Bobcats, and now in the entire Charlotte Bobcats, only Brandon Roy's 82 and Mike Dunleavy's 83 have reached more than 80 points. Players are only under 80.

But Misha felt that Zhou Lin should get at least 90 points, so Misha used Zhou Lin's account @2K Company, attached a bunch of Xiang emojis, and posted similar dissatisfaction remarks. There was a heated discussion, and both Heizi and fans began to speak positively. Misha put down the spatula, picked up the keyboard, and fired with full firepower.

Almost every day, she spends a lot of time communicating with netizens and fans. She seems to be full of energy every day despite being busy.

Zhou Lin was very depressed. He was afraid that outsiders would think that he was using the keyboard to respond to those remarks.

"Hey, Kevin."

After typing a long line, Misha proudly put away her claws on the keyboard.

Buzz!
Um?It's Kevin Durant's call.

"Zhou, you are too much. I want to fight you one-on-one. Immediately, I am already looking at the plane ticket."

On the phone, Kevin Durant yelled at Zhou Lin angrily.

"what happened?"

Durant said with great dissatisfaction: "I will let you know how I score! I will prove that I am stronger than you."

"Calm down, Kevin!"

Zhou Lin looked at Misha, who had a smirk on his face, and checked the content of his Twitter, probably knowing the whole story.

It turns out that Misha directly @Durant said, you and I are singled out, probably one out of a hundred goals can be scored!You skinny bamboo pole!

Misha said sternly: "Cut, who asked him to like it, don't say it's a slippery hand, I would rather believe the nonsense of addicts saying that I don't touch those things, and I don't believe the nonsense that Kevin said. "

"If you don't support the wall, I will obey you!"

Zhou Lin reluctantly snatched the keyboard from Misha, and then tweeted @Durant again: This is a joke, brother.

"I'm already on my way!"

Zhou Lin felt that he should change all the passwords, and he didn't know when Misha would offend someone for him again.

……

New season, new atmosphere.

At the beginning of each season, Zhou Lin is like a student starting school, full of expectations, walks out of the basement, says hello to the security guards in the arena, and assistant coaches, and then says hello to the new coach Larry Brown one by one. Greetings.

Larry Brown has been leading the Charlotte Bobcats for a while, and it can be regarded as establishing prestige. Anyway, during the training period, Roy Hibbert was trained to pieces. . Hibbert showed vividly.

But Luke Mbah a Moute, who was born in the prestigious UCLA school, and his humble and gentle personality are favored by Larry Brown.

The young role players of several other teams were also in awe when they saw Larry Brown again.

Larry Brown didn't dare to pick on Zhou Lin.

Because Zhou Lin himself is a training freak.

In addition, Zhou Lin is now the top card of the Bobcats after all. Generally, if the relationship between the head coach and the top star of the team is not harmonious, more than 80.00%, the head coach will pat his ass and leave in the end.

Larry Brown made it clear before Zhou Lin returned to China that he would be the core to create tactics for the new season.

On the first day of the team's report, Brandon Roy, who was recovering from his injury, also came to the arena. Brandon Roy was also very anxious and wanted to return to the game early.

Every year, the team will have players leave and new players will join. Although Zhou Lin has made video calls with the team's new players before, this is the first time that everyone has gathered together.

The 2008 offseason seemed to have just experienced the dead silence after the 2007 tsunami. The free market seemed a little lifeless. The big names of the 30 teams remained in the team, and various deals failed to be reached.

The Charlotte Bobcats still failed to complete the early contract extension with starting point guard Raymond Felton in the end, and the farce seemed to be getting worse.

Felton has always felt that he is a point guard with an annual salary of tens of millions. In fact, he is indeed worth the price, and the team has previously stated that it will not renew the contract with Felton in advance this summer, and many sports People in the media felt that the Bobcats had a high probability of trading Felton before his rookie contract expired. After all, if the rookie contract expired and Reilton patted his ass and left, the Bobcats would have nothing.

When I saw Raymond Felton today, he was dressed in fashionable clothes, with a serious face, and he didn't change into sportswear. He didn't seem to be training immediately, and he seemed to have gained weight again, and When asked about him, he said he was unwell and would not participate in today's training.

The management of the stingy Charlotte Bobcats naturally has their considerations, because by next summer, the contract renewal of Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy will be put on the agenda, let alone Zhou Lin, even if it is Bran The potential and competitive spirit that Den Roy has shown now requires an annual salary of at least tens of millions to be signed. As for Zhou Lin, boss Qiao has already prepared a maximum salary.

In the offseason, except for Sean Williams + the 2010 second-round pick in exchange for Radmanovic of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Charlotte Bobcats also made some minor signings and transactions, and more of them signed some marginal NBA players to fill the lineup and add Taobao.

Signed a free agent Vaughan Weaver with a minimum salary of one year.

If the correct historical trajectory is followed, Weaver should be signed by the Houston Rockets this summer and have a small highlight moment. Weaver was the player selected by the Lakers with the 05th overall pick in 39. In the first three years of his career, most The time is spent in the Development League and on the bench. Last season, he also played the position of a drinking fountain player in the Trail Blazers and Nuggets.

Signing Weaver is the team looking for a substitute for Brandon Roy.

Roy's recovery speed may be a bit slow. If it is fast as expected, he will return around Christmas and will only miss about 20 games. But if it is slow, the return time may be postponed until before the All-Star Game.

Another two-year 700 million mid-level contract signed James Posey, who helped the Celtics win the championship last season. This gentleman jumped out of the contract this summer. With a championship bonus, he was favored by the free market. Bobcats This side also raised the price to grab him.

In addition, the Charlotte Bobcats also signed Zhou Lin's No. 10 rookie of the same year, Patrick O'Bryant, with a one-year salary.

This gentleman was originally in the Seattle Supersonics, which is now the Oklahoma City Thunder. In fact, he has no ball to play. He only appeared in a few garbage time games in a season. The team got Al Horford last season. Afterwards, Patrick O'Bryant was basically given up on training. This guy's physical talent was indeed exploded, but his skills were too rough. But now the Charlotte Bobcats really don't have any insiders to use, so he was brought in. For Charlotte, it is said that the contract amount is only 8 guaranteed.

There is another transaction. The Charlotte Bobcats exchanged the veteran Juwan Howard with the team veteran McGinnis. The former was directly waived by the Houston Rockets to reduce salary pressure. The Charlotte Bobcats play more of a role as the leader of the locker room. The role of the signing is probably similar to that of Chris Webber brought in last offseason.

The day before the start of the training camp, he signed the 15th man, Andre Brown, a 2006 draft pick, with a non-guaranteed basic salary contract!

As a result, the Charlotte Bobcats' lineup for the new season can be considered complete.

Position: Center

This lineup is even weaker than in the same period last year. The point guard problem is still unresolved, and McGinnis is sent away. The key point is that Felton is still in a mood.

In addition, when Brandon Roy did not play in the first [-] games, it is still unknown how much strength Weaver can exert, and the inside line needs to be strengthened. A meat shield-type inside line is needed, but whether it is the rookie Roy Hibbert who looks a bit dull, or Patrick O'Bryant, a fringe player in the NBA, it seems that Larry Brown cannot be satisfied.

Of course, Zhou Lin has become stronger than the same period last year, and whether Larry Brown can turn decay into magic is also something that many media people are worth looking forward to.
