On August 16, the 25th Asian Men’s Basketball Championship came to an end.
In the final of the Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the defending champion Iran 52-70 and finished second.
This game was the most humiliating game for the Chinese men's basketball team since it participated in the Asian Championships in 1975. It also set a precedent for losing the championship at home for the first time.
In addition, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and other players covered their mouths and laughed on the podium, which had a serious negative impact on the China Men's Basketball Team.
The "Laughing Gate" incident caused an uproar in public opinion.
Domestic fans have taken to the Internet to criticize the unethical behavior of some players of the national team and discuss the future of the China Men's Basketball Team.
When Dayao was unable to play in the Asian Championships due to injury, they were eager to see a player step up, take over Dayao's burden, and lead Chinese basketball back to the top of Asia.
But judging from this Asian Championship, the UAE does not seem to be able to take over Dayao's burden.
Fans can only turn their attention to Sun Yi, who performed well in the summer league.
As a Chinese player selected in the NBA lottery, fans were a little disappointed not to see Sun Yi in the Asian Championships.
Although Sun Yi was unable to participate in this Asian Championship due to various reasons, he will definitely join the national team in the future.
Domestic fans can't help but wonder if Sun Yi can take over the banner of the China Men's Basketball Team from Dayao after joining the national team.
Can the combination of Dayao + Arab League + Sun Yi win a valuable medal for the Chinese men's basketball team in the next London Olympics?
Regarding Sun Yi joining the national team, not only fans are concerned, but the top brass of the China Men's Basketball Team are also beginning to think about this issue.
Can Sun Yi help Chinese basketball rise again? !
Due to these various reasons, Sun Yi's popularity in China is increasing day by day.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, in Oakland, Oracle Arena.
Sun Yi, who is in the vortex of public opinion, is not disturbed by the outside world and is still conducting high-intensity training with Curry.
Twenty days ago, the Las Vegas Summer League came to an end. The Warriors won five games, ranked first in points, and won the final championship.
Throughout the summer league, Sun Yi averaged 31.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.6 steals and 3.2 blocks per game.
Curry averaged a double-double of 24.6 points, 12.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
In comparison, Sun Yi's data is more comprehensive, so he was selected as the MVP of this summer league.
After winning the Summer League MVP, Sun Yi not only completed the temporary tasks issued by the system, but also received a 10,000 training point reward, which can be described as a double happiness.
As a reward for completing the temporary system, he received an encrypted USB flash drive.
Sun Yi used his personal laptop to open the files stored in the USB flash drive and found that the information provided by the system was very comprehensive and had been modified and optimized to a certain extent.
After he felt there was no problem, he sent part of the information to his mother in encrypted form, and specifically called his mother to tell her to check the encrypted file in her mailbox.
After Sun's mother read the information, she made an urgent call to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi successfully passed the test according to the rhetoric he had thought up before.
Although he knew that his mother would not believe it, under his assurance that there was no violation of laws and disciplines, the matter was settled.
After that, Sun's mother took action, turned the above information into money, and sent her cronies to the United States to bring back the USB flash drive.
As for how to produce sneakers, Sun Yi didn't have the time to worry about it and left it all to his mother.
He once again devoted himself to high-intensity training every day.
In this summer league, the performance of Sun Yi and Curry not only reassured the Warriors management, but also made the Warriors fans extremely happy.
At the beginning, Nelson used the No. 5 pick and the No. 6 pick acquired from the Wu Sheng trade to select Curry and Sun Yi respectively, which made Warriors fans very worried.
If the bet fails, Nelson is likely to take the blame and resign, and the Warriors will really lose both their wives and their troops.
Fortunately, the results were very good. Sun Yi and Curry each proved their strength in the summer league.
Naturally, such a hot topic will not lack coverage by media reporters.
The local news media in Auckland continue to hype the Warriors twin stars, with the popularity comparable to that of the No. 1 pick, making Sun Yi and Curry's reputations increasingly high in Auckland and nearby cities.
After the Chinese people living in San Francisco learned the news, they all said they would go to Oracle Arena in the new season to see with their own eyes whether Sun Yi was really as good as reported.
It can be said that the Warriors' sluggish market has begun to slowly recover.
…
In the Warriors head coach's office, Nelson nodded with satisfaction after watching all the video of Sun Yi and Curry's summer league games.
Immediately, he discussed the formation for the new season with the opposite assistant coach Ski Smart.
"Do you think these two little guys can be allowed to start in the new season?" Nelson asked.
Smart was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Nelson to ask this question. He thought for a while and expressed his opinion.
"Is it too early? It's a bit too early. The intensity of the NBA is much stronger than that of the summer league. I'm worried that they won't be able to adapt."
"But we don't have anyone available. I'll let them start in the preseason and see how the adjustments work." Nelson made the decision.
"Stephen can play point guard, but what about Sun? There is Corey at the third position. We can't let this guy play as a substitute!"
After Ski-Smart finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little stupid.
Now that Nelson has made his decision, arrangements must have been made.
Seeing Smart's embarrassed expression, Nelson smiled and replied: "I have already thought about this problem and let Sun try to play the fourth position."
"Um, can he really?"
Smart was extremely confused, wondering what kind of medicine Old Nelson was selling in his gourd.
"In the game against the Clippers, Sun single-handedly defended Blake Griffin. Judging from the results, Sun's confrontation ability is enough to fight against the player in the fourth position." Nelson explained.
Smart is a little embarrassed. As the head coach of the summer league, he did not discover this problem, which is indeed a bit negligent.
"Ski, go and call the members of the coaching staff to the conference room for a meeting."
After the discussion, Nelson sent Smart away and came to the window. He could see the situation on the training ground through the glass.
At this time, Sun Yi was having a bullfight with Curry on the training ground.
"Sun's playing style is very suitable for my choice at the fourth position. I hope this little guy can bring me some surprises."
Nelson felt very gratified when he saw the players working so hard.
He believes that these two young people will definitely be able to help the Warriors reach the top of the league again in the future!
