The pomp of NBA stars is different from that of ordinary players. When each of them arrives, they are surrounded by a group of people cheering each other. Even the very low-key Chauncey Billups has three assistants.
These people have accumulated a lot of wealth in the NBA, and many people follow them in order to get a better life. There are childhood friends, housekeepers who take care of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, managers who manage various financial affairs for them, and various brokerage teams.
As long as a person reaches a certain position, someone will definitely come to him. This has never been the case in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad.
These NBA stars have their own training plans and train separately from each other.
We can only meet each other when eating. Nutritious meals are also a part of the training plan, but people like Jaylen Rose and Eddy Curry don't like to eat these things.
To be honest, the nutritious meals provided by the training camp are not that bad. They put a lot of thought into the taste.
Su Feng eats for free, so he is not picky. He eats whatever he has, and Grover will give him extra meals... It is also a smooth favor for him, since the meal expenses are paid for by several NBA stars anyway.
After practicing for a week, everyone became familiar with each other.
Michael Reed has a quiet personality and speaks very little, but when Su Feng asked him for advice on shooting, he would patiently teach him. He's a shooter, and a left-handed shooter.
Su Feng is currently positioned as a pitcher who moves without the ball, and they have something in common.
Billups has great leadership skills and likes to arrange and instruct others. However, he was a very nice person and even gave Su Feng a small gift, a Casio electronic watch.
Including this one, Su Feng already has four watches, but the first three are all gold Rolex watches.
The Pacers' O'Neal Jr. and Ron Artest are two extremes. O'Neal Jr. has an introverted personality. He doesn't like to talk very much. He even smiles lightly and looks a little shy, even though he is famous among this group. The biggest one...he just got a multi-billion dollar contract not long ago.
Ron Artest is so loud, he plays loud black music in the locker room and in the restaurant, and he also shows off his rap skills to everyone. It’s almost like The Amityville Horror.
But he trains very hard and he is in the best shape among so many players.
Because he was a former Bulls player, he was full of complaints about being traded by the Bulls, so he often complained and clamored to have a duel with Eddy Curry and Jaylen Rose.
Su Feng was automatically ignored by him, maybe because he was chivalrous and tender and didn't want to bully the rookie.
Or maybe Su Feng was far from being worthy of being called an opponent in his eyes.
Eddy Curry still spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. Sometimes he will train hard on a whim, and sometimes he will lie on the sidelines and sleep.
The fat on his body was inseparable from him.
For him, shaping is just a matter of chance.
Jalen Rose is very famous. He was famous throughout the United States in college. He was once a member of the Michigan Five. He was popular in the NCAA with Webber, Howard and others and has the most fans.
After entering the NBA, he did not gain as much fame as Weber. But he is also an elite player and has the ability to be on the verge of an All-Star.
He was a bit arrogant. After Su Feng greeted him and introduced himself, he regarded Su Feng as his little brother. At first, Su Feng would help him buy a hamburger or something, but later on, Su Feng pretended not to hear anything... Eddy Curry explained from the side: Su's English is not good.
This saves a lot of trouble.
As October approached, Ron Artest finally got his wish. He and Jaylen Rose had a one-on-one duel during a training break.
Artest has been attacking Jaylen Rose with trash talk: "...The Bulls will soon trade you, who is old. You look like a lame and fat old donkey. You can't be an NBA player at all." ”
They always had these spats.
Jaylen Rose claimed that Artest's offensive level was not even good enough for a primary school student: "You are a guy whose mind is all about muscles. You even have to lubricate yourself when you masturbate. People like you will never be able to do it." Silky offense.”
Their spat quickly turned into a one-on-one fight.
Before the one-on-one game, Jalen Rose cleared the arena of idlers.
Only a few staff members and NBA players remain. Su Feng happened to not be cleared out.
They played American-style heads-up, only dribbling the ball three times and changing serves.
"It's good for Jalen Rose," Billups said on the sidelines. "Ron Artest's offense with the ball isn't at a high level."
Sufon stood back and listened to Billups and Michael Reed analyze.
The duel started soon after Grover blew the whistle, and they added a bet before the duel.
The content of the bet made Su Feng hold his head: it was actually a gold Rolex watch.
Hey, are gold Rolex watches hard currency in the NBA? How can you bet with a gold watch if you don’t understand?
It totally sparked the fire on the pitch.
On the first ball, Artest knocked away Jaylen Rose.
Rose is also very strong, but he is still one level behind Artest.
Su Feng watched from the sidelines and thought to himself... It seems that Jaylen Rose's chassis is not as stable as mine.
Artest drove into the basket and completed a layup.
Frankly speaking, Artest's offense is indeed not smooth and full of mechanical feeling.
But it’s very useful and works wonders with great force.
"Go back and ask your Bulls trainer who broke Michael Jordan's ribs back then!" Artest said arrogantly after scoring.
Eddy Curry, who was standing nearby, curled his lips. As a Bulls player, he didn't like Artest's arrogance. Although he doesn't like Jalen Rose's arrogance either.
Su Feng was very calm.
He came with a learning attitude, but he didn't learn anything from this ball.
This is a barbaric style of play.
The game continues.
Jaylen Rose changed his game, and Billups predicted that Jaylen Rose would score points.
However, Jaylen Rose was entangled by Artest. His three dribbles did not shake the defense. Instead, he was locked by Artest. He forced a jumper and the basketball was iron-clad.
Billups looked surprised and said, "I didn't expect Ron's defense to improve so much."
Their duel quickly turned one-sided.
Artest's strength and physical advantages are very obvious. It took him 30 minutes to win the one-on-one victory.
The score is 5:3.
This is an embarrassing result for Jalen Rose, who is a shooting guard, and Artest, a guard known for his defense. It was supposed to be a crushing situation, but Artest counterattacked.
After Artest won, he held up Jalen Rose's gold watch and said to the NBA players here: "Hey guys, let's go to the bar tonight and I'll pay for all the expenses. Thank you Jalen Rose for the big gift." Gold watch, hahaha.”
"The Bulls really can't do without me."
He spoke with great satisfaction.
At this time, Jaylen Rose was very angry. He said: "Ron, one-on-one means nothing at all. Let's play a group of three-on-three. I mean, let's play three-on-three. We can take a gamble." For a bigger one, how about $100,000?”
Jalen Rose is a gambler.
At the same time, he also fully demonstrated his personality that he cannot afford to lose.
When gamblers lose chips, they always feel that they can make up their losses.
Artest shrugged: "How are you going to play? There are three Bulls players and two Pacers players here."
"No, I want to team up with Eddie and Chauncey. If I win your $100,000, I will share it with them." At this time, Jaylen Rose directly excluded Su Feng.
Obviously, he didn't think Su Feng, a rookie, could help him.
However, Artest made an incredible decision at this time: "You don't want your Bulls teammate? Oh, you are such a cruel and selfish person. But, I want to choose him, Su! Are you willing to fight with me?" Will O'Neal play together?"
Artest looked at Su Feng.
Su Feng pointed at himself. He was a little in disbelief, but also a little eager to look forward to it.
