Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In the blink of an eye, it is already mid-September.

Zhuang Yu and others have been training together for almost a month.

The 2019-2020 NBA preseason will start in early October. Now there is only more than half a month left before the preseason, and the players have to return to the team for training.

On this day, everyone completed the last day of training, and Zhuang Yu treated everyone to a meal in the evening.

Everyone was in high spirits and the atmosphere was joyful. In the end, Zhuang Yu returned to the hotel alone. He drank some wine and for some reason he suddenly missed his family.

Take out your cell phone and make a video call with An Xin.

In the picture, little Nuomi was sleeping soundly in An Xin's arms. His little face was dirty, just like a kitten, but in Zhuang Yu's eyes, he looked cute no matter how he looked at him.

This is my little cotton-padded jacket, so cute.

"The little girl went to the amusement park and played for the whole day today. She was fine, but my mother was exhausted." An Xin said.

"Haha." Zhuang Yu laughed.

The child is full of energy, and the mother-in-law can never catch up with Xiao Nuomi. But she has to follow him, for fear that the child will run too fast and fall.

An Xin is also an only child. An Changhe and Xi Juan have only her as their daughter. They really treat their granddaughter like their precious baby and spoil her to no end.

Zhuang Yu said, "Why don't we hire a nanny to help take care of the child? Don't let Mom get too tired."

An Xin is busy with work, including matters related to the Sharks Club, investment companies, and restaurant chains. Zhuang Yu also invested in "The Battle at Lake Changjin" directed by Guo Fan, and he occasionally needs to attend meetings. Naturally, he doesn't have much time to take care of the children, so Xi Juan takes care of them.

"Well, I asked someone to help find it." An Xin said, and then talked to Zhuang Yu about business matters.

The Sharks Club also made some reinforcements this summer, signing both local players and foreign players. Liu Qun is determined to make a name for himself in the new season.

I can’t say that we will definitely win the CBA championship, but we must strive to reach the finals.

In fact, the Sharks Club is not far from the CBA finals. They reached the semifinals last season, but lost to their opponents in the semifinals.

Their goal in the new season is to reach the finals!

Of course, the ultimate goal is to win the CBA championship.

As for the investment company and Director Guo Fan, An Xin doesn't have to worry too much about them. She just goes there occasionally for a meeting to understand the specific situation.

Instead, it was the restaurant chains that spent a lot of time and energy.

An Xin found a professional planning company, but she still had to take care of many things herself. These things were not particularly important, but they were very complicated.

After listening to An Xin, Zhuang Yu felt sorry for her: "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."

An Xin smiled sweetly: "Just your words are enough."

After chatting for a while, the two ended the call.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhuang Yu opened the door and saw Zhou An and Xiao Qingyang standing at the door, one of them holding a plastic bag and the other holding a dozen beers.

"Why, haven't you had enough to drink yet?" Zhuang Yu asked with a smile.

Xiao Qingyang said: "I will be returning to China tomorrow, so I want to talk to you."

Zhuang Yu responded and invited the two into the house. There were some snacks in the plastic bag.

This is the difference between Chinese and foreigners.

Foreigners can drink without any side dishes, they just drink and call it wine tasting. However, Chinese people must have two side dishes when drinking, and if they really don't have any, a plate of peanuts will do.

The three of them opened their beers and clinked beers.

They drank and chatted, there was nothing important to talk about, just bragging and chatting, but the three of them were in a good mood.

“Before we knew it, we were all professional players.”

"Yes."

"Time flies. Thinking back to the days when we were at Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, it feels like it happened yesterday."

All three of them couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Time flies, but I never get tired; people and things change in a flash.

Before they knew it, the three of them had grown from teenagers to young adults, and from high school students to professional players.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the passion for basketball and the brotherhood between them.

"By the way, how long have you not contacted the captain, Han Hui, Gao Xiaoguang and others?" Xiao Qingyang suddenly asked.

"Well, it's been a long time."

"It's been quite a while."

Zhuang Yu and Zhou An looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

This is actually not surprising. Although Xiao Qingyang is already a CBA player and has taken a different path from Yuan Feng and Han Hui, they are not from two different worlds.

After all, they are all in the country.

However, Zhuang Yu and Zhou An were both abroad, and were obviously very far away from each other. In addition, both of them were very busy, especially Zhuang Yu, so naturally they had less contact.

Zhuang Yu asked: "What are they doing now?"

Xiao Qingyang laughed and talked about Yuan Feng, Han Hui, Gao Xiaoguang and others...

A few years later, they also have their own lives. Some of them have entered public institutions, with stable jobs and good benefits. They will probably live the same life as other people who passed the civil service exam. Some of them returned home to inherit the family's small business, bragging at the wine table, patting their chests and saying that they must make it bigger and stronger and create more glory; some of them went to the coastal areas and found a small company to work...

"Next time I go back, we must get together." Zhuang Yu said.

"Yeah." Xiao Qingyang and Zhou An both nodded.

The three of them didn't drink much. They just finished a dozen beers and then left.

......

The next day, everyone separated and went their separate ways.

Xiao Qingyang boarded the plane back to China. Zhou An lived in New York, so he didn't need to travel. Westbrook, Love, LaVine and others boarded the plane one by one.

Zhuang Yu and teammates including Holiday, Kuzma, Clarkson, Nance Jr., Zubac and others also boarded the plane to Los Angeles.

Next, it’s time to prepare for the new season!

......

Los Angeles.

A plane lands at Los Angeles International Airport.

When Zhuang Yu and his group got off the plane, they immediately attracted people's attention. They were so famous, especially in Los Angeles.

But because of this, people maintained basic courtesy and did not swarm around.

It’s not that their qualities are really that good, but rather they respect Zhuang Yu and others.

After all, Zhuang Yu and others are heroes of Los Angeles, bringing two NBA championship trophies to Los Angeles in two years.

Moreover, they may bring more championship trophies to the city of Los Angeles in the future, and even revive the Lakers dynasty and create a new dynasty.

This must be respected!

Of course, not all fans watched from afar and dared not make any moves.

For example, a little girl ran over, her face flushed with excitement, and asked timidly, "Zhuang Yu, can you give me an autograph?"

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Of course."

Who can resist a cute little girl?

What's more, he himself has a daughter.

As soon as they saw the little girl got the autograph, a few more children ran over. Zhuang Yu winked at Kuzma and the others, and they understood and stepped forward immediately.

These guys were really cunning. They didn't care whose autograph the kid wanted. They just took it, signed their names and handed it back.

With more people, things went faster. It didn’t take long for the task to be done and the people who came to pick them up arrived.

The ones who came were Yang Jinsong and Anna.

The two have returned to Los Angeles.

The group got in the car, Yang Jinsong was responsible for sending them home one by one, while Zhuang Yu returned to his rented apartment.

He won't go to the villa when his family is not here because it's too empty.

And the apartment is close to the stadium.

As soon as he returned to Los Angeles, Zhuang Yu couldn't wait. He put down his luggage, had a simple lunch, and then went to the Staples Center.

......

"Here, come over and screen."

"Go ahead, don't retreat."

"Hey, brother, you should vote, don't be afraid, be resolute..."

When Zhuang Yu walked outside the training gym, he heard some noise coming from inside and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that someone had already started training.

Now there is only half a month left before the new season's preseason, and many Lakers players have returned to the team for training and are beginning to prepare for the new season.

As soon as he entered the stadium, Zhuang Yu saw a lot of people.

There are trainers, coaches, players...

"Zhuang Yu."

"Haha, Zhuang Yu, you're back."

Everyone also saw Zhuang Yu and greeted him.

A group of people came up and hugged Zhuang Yu.

Lopez, Korver, Cunningham, Hamilton, Sumner, and finally Hill Little, the rookie selected by the Lakers this year, a 198cm small forward.

"Haha, long time no see, Brooke you seem to have gained weight."

"Cunningham, you're still so strong."

"You must be Little, welcome to the Lakers."

Zhuang Yu also greeted my teammates one by one, and also greeted the coaching staff, trainers and others.

Assistant coach Madsen dispersed the players, called Zhuang Yu, and asked with a smile: "When did you come back? Where are Clarkson, Nance Jr. and the others?"

"They just came back today. They should report to the team tomorrow."

"Oh, why don't you rest at home?"

"Everyone is training." Zhuang Yu shrugged and added, "Actually, I just can't wait to return to the team and train with everyone to welcome the new season together."

Assistant Coach Madsen also laughed.

Now that he was already there, Zhuang Yu stepped onto the court and practiced for a while, which was actually just two sets of shooting training.

Watching the basketball fly out of Zhuang Yu's hands and go through the net again and again, the crisp sounds became one, and the Lakers players have become accustomed to it.

But this shocked the rookie Little, who couldn't help but exclaimed: "Too accurate, this is too accurate."

Today Zhuang Yu was just trying out his skills, just like a warm-up.

But it was enough to shock rookie Little.

......

When all the players returned to the team the next day and started formal training, and witnessed Zhuang Yu's true strength, Little couldn't stop smiling.

Coach Scott, Assistant Coach Madsen and others were also all smiles.

After an offseason, it is obvious that Zhuang Yu's condition is maintained very well. No, it is not just as simple as maintaining a good condition. Compared with last season, he seems to have become stronger.

This is a bit unbelievable. After all, Zhuang Yu is already one of the strongest players in the league, and it is difficult for him to improve further at this level.

But Coach Scott, Assistant Coach Madsen and others could feel that Zhuang Yu had indeed made progress.

God, what kind of genius is this?
