Chapter 147 New Season

The more famous a person is, the farther and farther away he is from a normal life. Yan Hua is like this now. Originally, Yan Hua planned to stay at home for a month or two and spend time with his parents, but he came to visit every day. Neighbors, relatives, and local officials kept flocking, making Yan Hua have no time to rest, and Adidas has repeatedly urged Yan Hua to return to the United States as soon as possible to attend the official press conference of King's signature sneakers. In addition, Olajuwon has been calling, saying that his training camp has started, so Yan Hua should hurry up and go to Houston to participate in the training camp held by Olajuwon.

In the end, Yan Hua only stayed at home for more than ten days, so he had to leave early. As before, no matter how Yan Hua persuaded him, his parents with strong rural values ​​were unwilling to follow Yan Hua. Before leaving, Yan Hua also found the village head who persuaded him to go out and make a living, and fulfilled the promise he had made at the beginning, and funded the construction of a road from the village to the town. A sum of money, I hope the school can use this money to improve the food for the school children, and build a better basketball court by the way.

For more than a month, I have gone to all the places I should go, and I have seen everyone I should see, but it is a pity that Yan Hua did not see Li Changqing when he came back this time, and the two only talked on the phone Several times, Li Changqing went to another place to support teaching after completing his one-year teaching period in Yanhua's hometown.

On September 2009, 9, Yan Huacai returned to Sacramento from Houston on the afternoon of the first day of the King's new season training camp. Since returning to the United States in mid-August, Yan Hua has been in Houston, receiving special training from Olajuwon Yes, and Yan Hua was not the only one receiving special training from Olajuwon, Emeka Okafor, Tyson Chandler, Stoudemire, and even Kobe Bryant, one All of them are NBA star players with outstanding strength, even superstars, who went to Houston to participate in Olajuwon's training camp like elementary school students.

Olajuwon's training camp is very expensive, it costs 89 US dollars a week, which is quite expensive. Players without a little financial strength dare not come at all, but I have to say that it is expensive for a reason. After Rajuwon trained for more than a month, Yan Hua's mid-range shooting, foot movement, and low-post offense have all improved significantly. Coupled with the high-intensity training that has never stopped in the system space, when Yan Hua When Hua returned to Sacramento, Yan Hua's strength rating had soared to [-], and he was only one step away from becoming a superstar.

After successfully reaching the playoffs last season and entering the second round with black sevens, the King's management did not get dizzy with excitement and began to shout the slogan of the championship, but the management still made a plan for the King. The goal of the new season is 50 wins plus playoffs, and strive to reach the second round again like last season. As for the finals and the championship, the King's management is very clear. Before these young people mature , there is no chance at all.

The Kings have brought in some new faces this summer, and also left some old players. Veterans Bobby Jackson and Calvin Booth chose to retire, and Mickey Moore, who played less and less playing time, also chose to leave. The two rookies selected in the draft, Jrue Holiday and the Kings signed a 4-year contract with a total contract value of 753 million US dollars. Danny Green, who was selected in the second round, passed Las Vegas After observing the summer league, the Kings only gave him a two-year $2 contract, and the second year was still a team option. As for Serge Ibaka, who was traded from the Thunder, the Kings were giving Man Ray After Sa Club paid a buyout fee of 90 US dollars, they signed a 50-year 4 million US dollars contract with Serge Ibaka. Kyle Lowry, who asked about the Rockets, was directly accepted by Dale After Al Morey's Lions opened their mouths to frighten, Geoff Petrie chose to settle for the next best thing and signed Sergio Rodriguez from the free market. All done.

At the center position, Yan Hua, Spencer Hawes, power forward Dante Green, Serge Ibaka, small forward John Salmons, Andres Nosinho, Danny - Green, guard Kevin Martin, Tony Allen, Beno Udri, Jrue Holiday, Sergio Rodriguez, these are the 12 players the Kings currently have under contract , In addition to these players who have signed long-term contracts, the Kings current lineup also has five players with short-term contracts. These players are some undrafted rookies and players who have performed well in the development league. As for Who can stay in the end depends on their performance in the preseason.

After Yan Hua returned to the team, the king's preparation work officially began. Whether it was an old player or a new player, they were all gearing up for a big fight in the new season, and after Yan Hua returned, Kevin- Martin also took the initiative to talk to Yan Hua once. Kevin Martin did not react too strongly to the club's support of Yan Hua's new core. Instead, he told Yan Hua that he would adapt to the team's new positioning as soon as possible. , cooperate with Yan Hua with peace of mind, and help the king achieve a better record.

Kevin Martin's style of play is mainly off the ball, there is no difference between the core and non-core, it is the relationship between the number of shots, and Kevin Martin also knows that his personality is not suitable for a team So at the end of the regular season last season, Kevin Martin, who was lying in the hospital, saw Yan Hua carry the king on his shoulders and lead the king all the way to the semifinals of the division. Kevin Martin was relieved More than lost, and from that time on, Kevin Martin was ready to step aside.

Kevin Martin's attitude towards Yan Hua's superior position undoubtedly made the King's coaching staff and management put down a big stone in their hearts. Although the King has decided to build the team's tactics and lineup around Yan Hua, But a scorer who averages 25 points per game can also provide a great boost to Yan Hua and the Kings, not to mention that the Kings' new tactics also need players like Kevin Martin who can score off the ball.

On October 2009, 10, just a week after the Kings team assembled, the preseason of the 1-2009 season kicked off, and the start of the preseason also meant that the pace of the new season was getting closer.
