The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 71 Chapter 71
"It seems that he is not joking?"

Coach Stotts, who was on vacation, looked at the video of Zhou Si's summer league game that the chief assistant coach Triano had sorted out and sent over, muttering to himself.

To be honest, when Zhou Si told him that his goal this season was the best defensive player, he thought Zhou Si was joking.

Shouldn't the goal be Rookie of the Year?
After Zhou Si repeatedly confirmed that the target was the best defensive player, coach Stotts expressed his appreciation to Zhou Si on the surface, but in fact he was a little bit disapproving!
because……

It is really difficult for outside players to win the best defensive player!
This award is stronger than James has never won.

Even as strong as Jordan, it took three seasons to get this award!
But after watching this video, Coach Stotts felt that if Zhou Si can still play this defensive performance in the regular season, it is not impossible for the best defensive player!
……

On the other hand, before the end of the summer league, Zhou Si abducted a group of rookies back to Portland to start the devil's special training!
In the summer league, just feel the intensity, there is no need to care too much about the ranking.

And the status of the group of friends in their respective teams is not bad, and they are all millionaires now, there is no need to fight desperately with that group of marginal people, it is not worth it if they get injured!
As the "honorary group leader", Zhou Si contacted a local basketball gym in Portland as a special training base. As for the accommodation?
Those people chose to live in hotels!
Zhou Si doesn't know how much the strength of the group of friends has increased under his advice, but the number of bedding and the number of nightclubs they patronize has indeed increased rapidly...

In Zeller's words, it's really not easy for us to practice all day and night!
I don't know if Zeller can love football all his life, but he, the group leader, can definitely do it himself.

Hey hey hey hey.

……

Zhou Si was noncommittal about the slutty nightlife of the group of friends. We are just friends, and it is normal in the United States to have different sexual concepts, so there is no need to go online.

In many cases, it is not easy for everyone to take care of themselves.

During the substantial training and improvement, time flies, Zhou Si has more and more defensive experience, more and more methods, and more and more destructive power!
In early September, the group of friends who received the team assembly text message left Portland with "regret"!
Except for being educated by Zhou Si occasionally during the day, they are very happy at other times. The group of friends who feel that they have improved a lot are full of expectations for the new season!
……

"Hey, have you guys heard? That rookie champion will be our new captain?"

"I've heard that too. It seems that the team really wants to support him!"

"Huh, in order to change his team, he actually traded Brother Adele and Brother Batum. No matter how you look at it, I won't obey him anyway."

"That's right, besides, if you want to establish a new captain, it should be Li Damian (Lillard)."

"By the way, there are unspoken rules for teasing rookies in the league. Do you want to give this new captain a good look?"

In the Trail Blazers locker room, a group of players were chatting and chatting, and they didn't seem to welcome Zhou Si very much.

"Brother Zhou, everyone has not arrived yet. I will introduce the absent ones to you later. Let me introduce the present ones first?"

Leonard who had just entered the locker room said to Zhou Si and Ye Ze.

Seeing Zhou Si nodding with a smile, Leonard turned around and led the two to introduce the players in the locker room one by one and greet them.

Some of the players introduced responded enthusiastically to Zhou Si and Ye Ze, while others were more indifferent, nodding their heads as greetings.

Zhou Si let out a deep breath!
really……

Is he still not handsome enough to kill men and women?

……

Because today is the media open day, the main players of the team are taking makeup photos and chatting with the media about the team's prospects.

Therefore, after putting on their jerseys, a group of players went to the training ground to do some recovery training under the instructions of the coach, while waiting for makeup photos and interviews.

Considering that the players have gone through a holiday and will need to take makeup photos for the new season later, the training arranged by Coach Stotts is mainly to restore the body, and the training volume is not large.

During the physical test, Zhou Si was amazed again, not only the physical trainer, even the players were a little stunned!

They were a little skeptical when they heard that Zhou Si was very talented, how strong can a yellow man be?

But now they are silent...

shit...

Is this still human?
Zhou Si was a little used to the shock value of seeing the money coming in from the backstage.

Hehe, the column for the physical fitness of labor and capital has been fully filled!
After the individual makeup photos are the team makeup photos. The team arranged for Zhou Si and Lillard to stand in the middle, and Millsap and Matthews stood on their left and right sides to guard them!
The coach had already stated in the previous lecture that the four of them plus Pekovic will form the team's starting lineup in the new season!
After the makeup photo was taken, there was a big meal, and a large group of reporters rushed to Zhou Si who was about to be interviewed!
In this offseason, the hottest basketball player is not James, but Zhou Si, who has just been elected as the No. [-] pick.

The news about Zhou Si's selection of sneakers alone has fed many editors!
After some hard-to-distinguish news, Zhou Si rejected Nike's 1.8-year contract of 7000 million US dollars and Adidas's similar contract, and chose [-] years of [-] million US dollars to sign with China's largest sneaker brand in the confusion of fans. Li Ning!
In fact, there are still many details in the contract that have not been disclosed, and Zhou Si did not suffer!
In addition to an annual salary of 1400 million US dollars, Zhou Si also enjoys a 30% profit share of exclusive products!
And Li Ning will set up a special sub-brand for Zhou Si. If the cooperation goes well in the future, it is possible to separate the sub-brand like Jordan!

In addition to sneakers, with the efforts of Ye Qin, a natural "legendary agent", NBA2K, Gatorade, Mengniu and other endorsements have also been secured!
Zhou Si's purse bulged up quickly!
In addition, the news that Zhou Si won the Best College Athlete in the United States at the ESPY Awards Ceremony is also all kinds of news!
Zhou Si is really tall, handsome, famous and rich now, which is one of the reasons why the Blazers players look at him with envy.

Facing the reporters' questions, Zhou Si, who had been trained by Ye Qin, talked eloquently.

When talking about his feelings over the past few months, he replied with a smile:
"It was a great experience and very interesting, maybe some people think that I have too much pressure on me, but it is not the case, I am really happy.

I was a high school student more than a year ago, and I never thought I could sit here. It is really an honor, and I am really, really happy to be sitting here. "

When talking about the new season, Zhou Si said that he has been preparing for the new season and has been actively training hard.

Zhous then spoke about the vibe in Portland:
"I like the culture here, I like the city, the people here are very friendly, they tell me that if I give love to this city, they will love me back."

When finally talking about his image in 2K, Zhou Si joked:

"I finally don't have to build my own models in 2K anymore, but to be honest, I have to talk to the modeler, why am I not as handsome in the game as I am in real life?"
