……

Looking at the constantly beating news on his phone, Yunchen swallowed involuntarily. It has been a while since the draft, and the Cavaliers' summer league hasn't started yet, so he has a lot of free time to pay attention to the situation of the league. .

Since July 7, all kinds of heavy news have followed one after another, and everyone who has been watching has been enlightened, especially James' departure and Cousins' decision have had a huge impact on the league.

LeBron was already mentally prepared to leave Yunchen, but Cousins' move completely shocked him. The Warriors have formed the Big Five in this way, and they have completely become an invincible existence!
Although Yunchen has always been a fan of Curry, he should be happy that the Warriors have become stronger, but now as a player looking at this matter, he feels a little scary...

Next year's championship has obviously been booked in advance by the Warriors, and he really doesn't believe that any team can beat them!
Putting down the phone, Yun Chen took a long breath and forced himself to cheer up. These things are not what he should be concerned about now. As a rookie, he should train hard and strive to perform well on the field.

As early as a few days ago, he had come to the Cavaliers' locker room, but he didn't see many teammates, only a few people were training in the arena.

JR, Tristan Thompson, Love, Kyle Korver and others are not here. They seem to have gone on vacation, and the huge venue seems a bit empty.

But there is one person who attracted Yunchen's attention, Cedi Osman, the No. 2015 Turkish small forward selected by the Cavaliers in the second round of 30.

Every day when Yunchen came to the arena for training early, Osman was already there. He was working very hard, training hard all the time, and he was rarely seen resting. Yunchen was a little ashamed of his hard work.

Finally, a few days later, Yun Chen couldn't help but came forward to say hello. They hadn't had much contact with each other in the past few days, after all, they didn't know each other at all.

"Hello." Yun Chen walked over and stretched out his hand to the sweaty Osman.

Osman was doing shooting training, and was obviously taken aback at this time.

He looked a little surprised, then wiped his hands on his body, held Yun Chen's hand, and said with a smile: "Hi, I've seen you training for several days, but I haven't had a chance to talk to you."

Unexpectedly, Osman was easy to talk to, even a little shy, with a smile on his face all the time.

Yun Chen: "Why... are you working so hard? I see that your daily training volume is astonishing."

Osman laughed when he heard the words, scratched his head and said: "No way, LeBron is gone. There is no one who can take the small forward position of the team next season. If I don't work hard, I am afraid the team will not even play in the playoffs." Can't get in."

This time it was Yun Chen's turn to be dazed, Osman's thoughts were so... simple!
"Of course, I also have selfish intentions. LeBron is gone. If I perform well, I will have the opportunity to start. You have to know that as a Turkish player, starting here is a very special thing." Between words , Osman started shooting again, and every time he swung his arm, he would shed a stream of sweat.

"Starter..." Yunchen remembered what Gilbert had said to him. He would be the Cavaliers' starting small forward in his rookie season. It seemed that Osman didn't know about it yet.

"Can I train with you?" Yun Chen asked with a smile.

Osman didn't stop, just handed him a ball.

"Let's have a three-point contest, take turns, and whoever gets ten first will invite the other person to have lunch."

Hearing this, Yun Chen smiled: "I'm younger than you, so I'll go first." He stretched out his hand and shot it. He had specially learned Curry's shooting movements, so he shot very quickly.

"Shua" the basketball hit the net, a hollow ball, a perfect arc.

"Wow, your moves are exactly the same as Curry!" Osman admired.

Yun Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's not one-tenth of his, his shots are much sharper than mine, it's up to you."

Osman nodded, and then made a three-pointer. His movements were also very stretched, and the same one went into the net.

"We've met an opponent." Yun Chen laughed loudly.

In the end, Osman ended the game with No. 12 shots and narrowly beat Yunchen with one goal.

"I want to eat steak at noon, haha!" Osman laughed.

"no problem."

That night, several people chatted in the WeChat group. Among the five people, Xu Qianxiang was the only one to appear on the stage, so he became the focus of discussion among several people.

But Xu Qianxiang himself said that his lack of shooting ability really limited him, otherwise he would not lose today. He made 9 of 2 shots today, and he had no achievements other than assists on the offensive end.

The next day, the summer league continued. The Spurs beat the Eagles 103-81, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the Jazz 95-92, and the Warriors beat the Kings 71-54.

In this game between the Lakers and the Heat, Xu Qianxiang once again contributed a phenomenal performance!
Due to yesterday's wonderful performance, the head coach of the Lakers let him start today. He played a total of 32 minutes, made 10 of 4 shots, 7 of 7 free throws, scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists. He continued his fiery state. Let the whole world see the strength of Chinese point guards!
In the end, the Lakers beat the Heat 107-85.

This time, Dad Qiu didn't come out to say anything more. Xu Qianxiang's near-perfect performance seemed to make him a little uneasy. He didn't post a tweet for many days and disappeared from the public's sight.

And Xu Qianxiang also became proud, and said such a sentence directly to the camera of the media: "I will win the championship with LeBron this year!"
