Chapter 35 The Folly of Isaiah Thomas
After the summer league ended, Jiang Yan and the team returned to Sacramento.

His life is back to the same as before, three o'clock and one line every day, but it is no longer just the caddy who picks up the ball to accompany him to practice, but also the trainer Patrik hired for him.

These trainers not only accompany Jiang Yan to train every day, but are also responsible for recording Jiang Yan's data.

In fact, Jiang Yan wanted to tell Patrik that there was no need for these trainers to come, after all, he had a training system in his mind.

Although he was not given any skills, he was able to design a training program for him that met his current developmental needs.

In this way, the time was spent in Jiang Yan's hard training every day.

At the same time, the Kings finally found a coach. This coach is Keith Smart, who is also the assistant coach of the previous head coach Paul Westphal.

Smart was also the head coach of the Warriors, but during the Warriors' coaching period, the Warriors' record was not very good!

This time, Patrik directly gave Smart a two-year contract, with the first year guaranteed.

As for Vigelis, he is still working as a teaching assistant and has not been fired!

Jiang Yan is not familiar with this Smart, because he has not seen this head coach in his rookie period during the period of time in the Arco Arena.

.........

On September [-]st, when Jiang Yan and his trainers were training in Arco Arena, a person walked in from outside the arena.

This person is wearing hip-hop style clothes, and he is not tall, that is, more than 1.7 meters, but he is still very strong!

Be a black man!
Jiang Yan was training but didn't notice this person coming in.

As for the other trainers in the arena, they noticed it, but they didn't care when they saw that this person was just standing there, and then continued to record Jiang Yan's training data seriously.

"Is this the rookie?" The man looked at Jiang Yan who was training profusely and muttered to himself.

He looked at Jiang Yan, feeling more and more threatening, because Jiang Yan worked so hard.

As a rookie last season, he struggled with Aaron Brooks' performance. He received more and more attention from the coach in the later stage, and he spent more and more starting time.

And this season's new coach is the assistant coach of last season, there is no reason not to let him be the team's starting point guard this season.

But when Smart was called yesterday, Smart hinted to him that he is likely to be a substitute this season.

When he asked why, he suddenly saw the news posted on the Kings official website in July.

This year's No. [-] pick is Chinese and a point guard.

He is confident, his strength is very strong, and he should be the team's starting point guard, taking responsibility for the team's engine.

But self-confidence is one thing. He came here on purpose today mainly to meet Jiang Yan.

But looking at Jiang Yan's poor shooting during training, he originally thought that Jiang Yan was a threat, but he felt that Jiang Yan was very unbearable!
After watching for a few minutes, he turned and left!
He is very sure that as long as Coach Smart lets Jiang Yan start, within a few games, the starting position will return to him!

When he left, he smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that it was too nonsensical for him to see a rookie like Jiang Yan as a competitor!
Jiang Yan didn't know that a black man came to the arena, and then he left with disdain for him.

After taking ten mid-range shots, he took a 10-minute break before continuing with his three-point shooting drill.

Of course, according to Jiang Yan's original habit, he didn't need to rest, but the 10-minute break was requested by those trainers.

It is said that resting for 10 minutes can relieve the muscle stiffness caused by continuous shooting, and further let Jiang Yan's muscles form shooting memory!
Jiang Yan didn't object. After all, he couldn't tell these trainers that his greatest talent is endurance. Isn't he afraid of training?

At that time, wouldn't it be bad if these trainers caught him and sliced ​​him for research?
……

Time passed in a flash, and one month quietly left again.

On October [-]st, which is China's National Day, Jiang Yan no longer trained alone in the arena.

Those offseason Kings players also came back one after another.

Except for DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Tyreke Evans, the other 13 players have all returned to Arco Arena for proper training.

After all, many of them will make their weight skyrocket due to the offseason.

The most famous example is the rain man 'Camp'. Once the flying man just went through an NBA lockout period, the whole person's weight directly soared.

However, these Kings players are okay. After all, they are basically young players who are basically under 30 years old. The oldest is Chuck Hayes who went out with the Rockets.

After Jiang Yan saw them, he didn't rush forward to show his favor. After all, as a rookie who just joined the team, he still kept a low profile.

But even if Jiang Yan wanted to keep a low profile, some people wouldn't!

For example, Isaiah Thomas, the black man who came to the arena on September [-]st.

Although he doesn't think Jiang Yan has the strength to grab his starting position, but there will be no excuses. Since Smart hinted this way, the coach will do it!

And as a rookie last year, he suffered a lot, and as the last pick in the second round in 2011, he couldn't get used to a player with a high pick like Jiang Yan!
Just like people without money, most of them will hate the rich!
Thomas is very jealous that Jiang Yan can be selected with the fifth overall pick, and he can also sign an annual salary of more than 300 million. You must know that his annual salary does not exceed 50. After deducting California and federal taxes, it will take only one year to get it. Only about three hundred thousand.

With these factors combined, will Thomas jump out?

"Rookie, buy me a hamburger!" During the training break, Thomas watched Jiang Yan still strike the iron, and ordered with a tone of command.

Jiang Yan paused while shooting, held the ball in her arms, turned around, and looked at Thomas who was sitting there.

Pointing to himself, he asked, "Are you calling me?"

"Haha, why are you so funny, who is a rookie here except you?" Thomas looked at Jiang Yan's puzzled expression, and happily said to Tyrese Outlaw beside him.

Tyrese Olot is very popular in the team and has a high emotional intelligence, so he didn't echo Thomas's laughter, and pulled Thomas to signal Thomas not to bully the newcomers.

Thomas saw that Olot did not respond, and ignored Olot's gesture of pulling clothes.

He continued to say to Jiang Yan: "Rookie, now I will teach you. As a rookie who enters the NBA, he is also called a rookie, and generally these rookies will serve some things for the veterans in the team. I ask you to buy it. The hamburger is just a small thing, and you have to be responsible for the training bag for the away game! Do you know now?"

Jiang Yan blinked, watching Thomas talking to him about these unspoken rules, and her understanding of the NBA went a step further in her heart.

However, as a good young man in the 21st century, there is no reason to be a 'servant' for these people!

"Oh!" Jiang Yan gave Thomas a word after listening, and then turned around to continue training.

Those trainers continued to train with Jiang Yan indifferently. After all, Patrik invited them to train with Jiang Yan, not to help Jiang Yan deal with conflicts with his teammates.

After Thomas saw Jiang Yan finished listening, he just gave him the word "oh", and his anger became even stronger. Looking at Jiang Yan's back, he stood up suddenly, and then ran directly to Jiang Yan.

When he was about to get close to Jiang Yan, he jumped into the air and wanted to kick Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan leaned her back in Thomas' direction, but she didn't know that Thomas was coming.

The trainers and the Kings players who had been paying attention to the situation here exclaimed: "Be careful!"

When Jiang Yan heard the exclamation, she subconsciously turned around to look. This turn didn't matter, it directly shifted her body by a few centimeters, and Thomas' kick happened to pass by Jiang Yan!

"Tong!"

A few seconds later, it was the sound of Thomas colliding with the floor.

After Jiang Yan heard the sound, she looked towards the place where the sound came from, and just in time saw Thomas lying on the ground with a face of pain, thinking of the exclamation of other people just now, who didn't know what the other party was trying to do just now!
Immediately, anger rose on his face, he threw the basketball in his hand, and strode over to Thomas.

Lifting his leg, he gave Thomas a few hard kicks in the back.

Originally, he wanted to continue playing, and Thomas couldn't take care of himself, but those Kings players came to Jiang Yan's side, and several of them desperately grabbed Jiang Yan.

How can a person's strength be as strong as several people, and these people are all muscular sticks.

So Jiang Yan was pulled to the other side of the court, watching Olot from a distance comforting Thomas who was screaming in pain.

Soon, Patrik, who got the news, also came to the court. Today, he happened to be in the arena, and suddenly heard a staff member come and tell him that there were players fighting.

Knowing the size of this matter, he immediately asked people to close the gate of the arena to prevent outsiders from entering, and then came to the court.

The first thing he saw was the team doctor carrying Thomas away on a stretcher, and then he saw Jiang Yan who was calling Duffy on the sidelines.

Seeing Jiang Yan on the phone, Patrik's head hurt.

It's not a good thing for the agent to get involved at this time.

After thinking about it, the only way to deal with this matter is to ask the reason first.

He waved to Chuck Hayes not far away and asked what happened.

As Hayes talked more and more, Patrik directly wanted to scold her.

If Thomas wants to bully the rookie, you can just make things a little difficult. Jiang Yan disagrees with buying hamburgers, so you want to beat him up. No wonder Jiang Yan beat Thomas violently.

He cursed in his heart that he deserved it.

Then Patric put a smile on his face again, and walked towards Jiang Yan who had just hung up the phone.

"Yan, I already know what happened!" Patric said.

"Well, CEO, I'm not to blame for this, he wanted to fight first! If I hadn't escaped by chance, I would have been lying in the hospital department right now!" Jiang Yan rolled her eyes and said aggrievedly.

This is what Duffy just told him to shirk his responsibility!
Nonsense, don't shirk responsibility at this time, and wait for Patrik to put full responsibility on himself?

"..." Just as Patrik was about to say something, his cell phone rang suddenly.

I took out my phone and saw that it was Duffy.

"Hey………"
