Chapter 8 Summer League Ends
On July 7th, the NBA Summer League continued. On this game day, four young players from China joined hands to create a number of summer league records.

Moreover, the performance of these four players is extremely impressive.The major media released a similar piece of news almost at the same time: Asian basketball, especially Chinese basketball, is about to rise!
In China's domestic press and sports circles, following the upsurge caused by Xu Qianxiang, the four people once again sparked heated discussions among Chinese netizens and sports fans. For a while, the names of these five boys representing Chinese basketball were directly listed on the No news can compare with them.

Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, immediately expressed his congratulations to the five young people. At the same time, he made a promise to escort them in the future and provide them with the best backup support!

At the same time, the American sports world is not calm.The performance of these five yellow people attracted comments from various commentators.

Former NBA player Barkley praised the performance of power forward Yuan Junjie. He even said that he wants to compete for the position of Timberwolves coach and hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with Yuan Junjie.

The legendary Los Angeles Lakers star O'Neal also commented on the performance of point guard Xu Qianxiang. He first praised his excellent overall situation, but then criticized his weaknesses of poor physical strength and poor shooting ability, and said that if he does not overcome These weaknesses can only be eliminated by the times in today's alliance!

O'Neill's comment made Xu Qianxiang very uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute it. What the other party said was the truth. His strengths and weaknesses are too obvious, and he really needs to improve urgently.

Among the many other comments, there is another comment that is equally eye-catching, and that is LeBron James' evaluation of Li Yunchen.

As soon as Yunchen's game ended, LeBron immediately tweeted to congratulate him on winning. At the same time, he also expressed great expectations for Yunchen's future performance in the Cavaliers, and hoped that Yunchen could carry the banner of the Cavaliers' revival!
Yunchen immediately responded and thanked LeBron for his compliment, but he still felt very weird. After all, LeBron now belongs to the Lakers. Instead of paying attention to Xu Qianxiang, he paid attention to himself...

Also on July 7, the Suns' No. 7 pick DeAndre Ayton also appeared, but his performance was not so satisfactory.In the end, the Suns won the game 92-85. Ayton performed mediocre, scoring only 10 points, 8 rebounds, and three turnovers.

After the match that day, Yunchen and the others held a video conference in the WeChat group. They were all full of expectations for the future, and today's match gave them a good confidence.

Summer League continues on July 7.

这个比赛日中，云晨的骑士队主场对阵公牛，他依旧首发出场，22分钟的上场时间内贡献了19分8篮板6助攻1抢断1盖帽的全面数据，骑士队以93-82再胜一场。

And another game worthy of attention is the game between the 76ers and the Lakers.The Chinese Derby appeared in the summer league for the first time, and both of them played as the team's starters, which can be said to have earned enough attention.

这场比赛以76人队89-86险胜结束，唐银发挥出色，三分球8投4中贡献26分2篮板的数据。而另一边，许千翔因为这几日的高强度比赛明显有些体力不支，仅仅出场19分钟，贡献了6分7助攻4篮板2抢断的数据，另外还有3次失误。

O'Neill's prediction was confirmed in this game, and Xu Qianxiang's poor physical strength was unreservedly exposed.

The head coach of the Lakers said in an interview after the game that this summer he will strictly urge Xu Qianxiang to strengthen his physical training.

In addition to the summer league in the past few days, the dynamics of the free market are also eye-catching.

Tony Parker has reached an agreement with the Charlotte Hornets and will join him on a two-year, $2 million contract.The 1000-year-old veteran who played for the Spurs for 17 seasons finally left his mentor Popovich.

Today, the former GDP combination of the Spurs, Ginobili is the only one who sticks to the Holy City... Countless fans left messages on the official website of the Spurs, hoping that Ginobili will play for another year...

……

On July 7, the NBA Summer League officially ended.

In this more than a week-long competition, the five Chinese players have shown their best competitive state, and their performance is very good.

Li Yunchen: Played in 6 games, all starting games, averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game.

Tang Yin: Played 5 games, started 3 games, averaged 24 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.

Xu Qianxiang: Played in 8 games, started 5 games, averaged 10 points, 5.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 2 steals per game.

Yuan Junjie: Played in 6 games, all starting games, averaging 34.5 points, 12 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.

Zheng Ye: He played a total of 7 games and started all of them.Averaged 13 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

On the second day after the game ended, that is, on July 7, the five people met together and came to an arena in Los Angeles. This was originally their rest time, but the five people did not have this plan.

They have turned down almost all activities this summer, including entertainment activities and various commercial promotion activities. They want to continue their training in order to become stronger at the beginning of the new season!
On the 18th, everything was settled and five people showed up at the gate of the stadium on time at 8 o'clock in the morning, which was their appointed time.

But as soon as they arrived at the arena, several people heard some unusual sounds.

In the arena...someone is already training!
The five people stood at the door and looked at each other. The arena was already occupied by five people. Logically speaking, no one should be able to come in and play.

"The people here are too irresponsible. We've already booked it, so why let others in?" Zheng Ye's temper was not very good, and he immediately frowned.

"Go in and have a look, maybe the staff are bored and playing golf." Yun Chen comforted.

Afterwards, the five people began to walk in, and after passing through the passage, the whole picture of the stadium appeared in front of their eyes.

This venue is not very big, but the advantage is that it is remote and quiet, and the facilities inside are relatively complete. In addition to the necessary basketball court, there are gymnasiums and physiotherapy rooms.

In the middle of the field, after several people came in, they saw a tall black man doing shooting training. Beside him, a middle-aged man was correcting his movements. He seemed to be a coach or something.

After seeing this black man, Zheng Ye, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly widened his eyes and froze.And not only him, but the other four were also enlightened for a while.

This person... they all know each other.And Tang Yin is very familiar with this person, he is his teammate.

Great, Joel Embiid!

This tall black man is Embiid, the head star of the 76ers!He is now very focused on shooting training, and he didn't notice that the five people had walked very close.

"...Old Tang, did you call?" Yun Chen elbowed Tang Yin next to him.

Tang Yin swallowed, and then made an action that left everyone speechless.

He first sighed for a long time, and then he slapped himself on the forehead with a slap, and made a very helpless and headache look.

"Damn... I really came here..."

Embiid had already noticed the five people at this time, and turned his head to see a big smile on their faces!

"Wow! Xiao Tangtang! You are here! You are too late, I was here at seven o'clock in the morning!" He looked very happy, and in the next few seconds, he actually made a gesture. Made an action that several people will never forget in this lifetime.

Embiid threw the ball in his hand with a "baa", and ran to Tang Yin's side quickly with a "boom, dong, dong", and then he hugged Tang Yin with a "click" regardless of the sweat on his body!

"Damn... what did I see..."
