57. Summer League is here

“Dog is not a curse word in your country, right?”

"It's not a curse word, but do you like being called a dog?"

Curry yelled at Sun Ce angrily, but the feeling of anger dissipated a lot.

The most embarrassing one is undoubtedly Anthony Randolph. However, although his skills are not good, it does not mean that he has a bad brain. Players who are good at eating cakes usually have good brains and are good at seizing opportunities.

Curry, the No. 7 pick, even if he is a rookie, will definitely be better than an undrafted player who has been playing for two years in the eyes of the management. Although Watson averaged 9 points and 2 assists per game last season, which is not bad data, he can't pass the ball.

It's terrible, averaging only 2.7 assists in 24.5 minutes per game. Anthony Randolph doesn't like to partner with him, and his assist rate is not as high as that of Crawford, who is remembered as being very independent.

And it's not just Curry. Watson offended two people at once, as well as another rookie who may threaten Watson's playing time.

Even a second-round pick, logically speaking, has a better future than Watson, an undrafted player whose talent has reached its end.

2-1, Anthony Randolph made the decision easily.

The situation was so awkward, so there was nothing to talk about. Anthony Randolph didn't take the initiative to talk to the two rookie guards at this time. He just smiled when they looked at each other and expressed his goodwill.





On the morning of the 8th, Sun Ce and Curry came to Oracle Arena together. It was time for summer league lineup selection.

After today's tryout, we will go to Las Vegas tomorrow to prepare for the summer league starting on the 11th.

"The e-level event was shortlisted for the summer league..."

Sun Ce looked at this E-level event, but felt pressure. He hadn't spoken much since last night, and had been thinking about how he could use his existing skills in the competition.

Unlike the previous event where I used two "Newbie Gift Pack" cards to complete the event fearlessly, this time I had to rely on myself.

Curry looked at Sun Ce who suddenly became quiet and felt a little uncomfortable...

"Today we will select our 12-man roster for the Las Vegas Summer League...

First team: Stephen Curry, Noah Sun, Anthony Morrow, Anthony Randolph, Anthony Tolliver..."

Although Keith Smart was dissatisfied with the head coach's interference in his summer league head coach's lineup arrangement, he still complied.

After hearing the summer league head coach's lineup arrangement, Sun Ce felt that he had entered the Warriors' summer league lineup to select the "seed team". There is no doubt that except for him, the other four people will definitely be able to enter the summer league lineup, and

They are all players for the Warriors next season. The four teammates on the same team and the three frontcourt players all have contracts, and Curry will definitely be able to sign the contract.

Sun Ce and Curry looked at Watson in unison, and sure enough, they saw Watson's gloomy face.

This feels so good! Sun Ce and Curry secretly high-fived each other from behind.

"Second team: CJ Watson, Darius Andrew..."

"Team Three:..."

"Team Four:..."

Except for Watson, who had a slightly distorted face when he was "kicked out of the seeding team", everyone else felt it was normal when they saw rookies with contracts or draft picks on the "seeding team". Others participate in summer games every year.

The players are used to it. They didn't get a chance to play in the summer league with the Warriors, and there were other teams.

After dividing up the teams for the team's training match, which is also the trial match, Smart began to explain the summer league affairs as usual.

The Warriors compete in the Las Vegas Summer League, the larger of the three summer leagues, with 23 teams participating.

The other two summer leagues are the Utah Summer League and the Orlando Summer League. The former has 7 teams this year and the latter has 9 teams.

In addition to the summer league teams of the NBA teams, there are also the NBA championship and runner-up teams, the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) championship team, and some other countries' league teams. Each year, the three major summer leagues have a total of 30 to

40 teams.

"The first team and the third team stayed, and the second team and the fourth team went to another training ground. They played for 20 minutes. The first and second halves were 10 minutes each. What we examined was not the outcome of the game, but the performance of each individual.

, team cooperation, the next two hours of warm-up and communication between the members of each team, the game starts at 11 o'clock."

After Smart finished the arrangement, he came to the first team to direct the players to warm up. The other three assistant coaches also took their respective teams to warm up or went to the other side of the training ground to warm up.

"That guy is so lucky." Sun Ce muttered as he looked at Watson heading to another training ground.

"Well..." Curry was also very unhappy.

Both of them wanted to take revenge as early as possible. Although it is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Sun Ce felt that he was not a gentleman. Curry may have thought that he was a gentleman, but he did not know this sentence.

However, Sun Ce felt unhappy without having played against Watson. At the same time, he felt a little bit lucky. In fact, he really didn’t know if he could beat Watson. This guy’s ability evaluation is similar to that of Dragic, but he has more experience in NBA games than De

Radic is stronger, physically and technically more mature.

Anyone who can establish himself in the NBA, get a contract and have stable playing time is one of the best players in the world.



Most of the players in the summer league, that is, those players who hang out in low-level leagues such as the NBA, and come to participate in the summer league every year, are really not that good.

During the warm-up, we briefly discussed the style of play. Sun Ce was responsible for breaking through and scoring. Curry and Moreau would catch the ball and shoot. The two insiders tried to find a way to eat the cake... that is, there was no strategy. Sun Ce was responsible for breaking through and scoring the best points.

, and just like that, the first team also beat the third team 62 to 40...

Sun Ce looked at the opponent's ability evaluation before the game, and the highest one was D-level center Chris Hunter, a senior graduate of the University of Orlando.

Surprisingly without pressure, Sun Ce relied on breakthroughs to score 13 points and 5 assists, easily helping the first team win the intra-squad match.

And Sun Ce felt that others seemed to think it was normal. When the three teams met them, there was almost no resistance. Sometimes he would just throw the ball into the air, and Randolph would jump up and dunk it in easily...

Sun Ce felt that he had misjudged some things. He thought it would be an E-level incident and would be difficult, but now he knew that Curry had gone to the head coach to communicate with him. If he wanted to be on the same team with him, he had basically helped.

He completed the event!

At 12 o'clock, 20 players gathered back at the home team's training ground.

"Stephen Curry, Noah Sun, CJ Watson, Coby Carr, Anthony Morrow, PJ Tucker, Kadir Martin, Devin George, Anthony Tolliver, Anthony

- Randolph, Chris Hunter, Mickey Moore, congratulations on being selected for the summer league lineup, and the others are very grateful for your participation..."

As expected, all five players from the first team were selected, four players were also selected from the second team, and only Chris Hunter was selected from the third team. He scored 12 points and 7 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Two players were selected, namely Coby Carr, the son of the Nuggets head coach, and PJ Tucker, the 2006 second-round pick of the Raptors.

Sun Ce really didn't notice that there were so many familiar faces in the Warriors' summer league lineup before, mainly because their appearance was obviously different from ten years later. For example, Tucker was waived after playing half a season with the Raptors in 2006.

Later I went to Europe, and every summer I returned to the United States to play in summer leagues...

There are also two veterans, Devin George and Mickey Moore, who have more than 10 years of careers and are still looking for jobs... I guess they will go bankrupt after retiring...

The pressure of competition is finally here!

Just when Smart announced the summer league lineup, the event section of the system changed.
Chapter completed!
