After Stephen returned to the team, although he was educated by the assistant coach Carlesimo, Stephen soon impressed him with his diligent training. At the same time, Stephen's willingness to learn and understand tactics also satisfied Carlesimo. I am used to seeing that black players have to learn a long time to understand any tactics. Stephen's ability to understand as soon as he said it really made the coach very relieved.

Since Carlesimo appreciates Stephen very much, he has higher expectations for Stephen. Correspondingly, Stephen's training intensity is also increasing. Even the perverted Stephen is a bit too much at first, but he still persists. As the time persisted, Stephen felt that his body was becoming more and more able to adapt to such intense training.

Stephen didn’t know that he was able to adapt to such high-intensity training so quickly, which is already very strange. Many people enter the league for the first time, and it takes a year or more to fully adapt. This is closely related to the basic quality of the body. Yes, if you can't bear the reaction after training, the team doctor will detect it naturally, and it took less than a month for someone like Stephen to fully adapt to this intensity of training, which is really surprising.

In the pre-season training camp, although he was both a rookie, Stephen was completely different from the others. When everyone else was trying their best to express themselves, Stephen was training step by step, ensuring This is the difference between a contract and a non-guaranteed contract.

Before getting a guaranteed contract or the contract is not converted into a guaranteed contract, the players are like precarious and may be laid off at any time. Show off your talents and win the favor of your coach.

However, even if you perform desperately, it may be counterproductive because of the wrong direction. For example, what the coach wants to see is your performance on the defensive end, but you are desperately trying to show your comprehensiveness on the offensive end; Gangster, but you keep pretending to be a coolie, that is the opposite, the direction of your efforts is wrong, and no matter how hard you try, it will be of no use.

In the training camp, there is a player named Kyle Bailey who is like this. He got a non-guaranteed contract. In order to keep his job, he showed his comprehensiveness to the coach by himself, assists, rebounds, and judgments. I can do everything, I just want to tell the coach in this way, keep me, you see I can do anything, and I can be placed in that position.

Sometimes comprehensiveness is a good characteristic, but at some point, what the coach wants is not your comprehensiveness, but your strengths in a certain single event. This is the case with Kyler Bailey. He guessed the coach's wrong As a result, Carlesimo became more and more dissatisfied with him, and soon gave up on him. Among the five players, he was the first to be eliminated, and according to Stephen's observation, he should be among the five. the strongest.

At this time, there were constant reports of a certain team signing a certain free agent, and news of the team giving up a certain player. After the Clippers signed Yuta Tagusu, they quickly gave up on him. Stephen still wanted to teach him a lesson when he was on the court, but this time there is no chance, and the Spurs training camp is also constantly performing scenes where you sing and I come on stage, but none of this has anything to do with Stephen, he Sitting on the Diaoyutai is like watching others come and go.

It is good to have a guaranteed contract. Seeing others look at him with envy, Stephen feels very happy in his heart. Although the training is hard and tiring, Stephen is not afraid, except that the food here is not used to. There is no place to eat Chinese food, and there is no place to buy some materials to make by yourself, which makes Stephen very distressed.

However, Stephen's joy was shattered by the official players who came to the training camp to report one after another. Robert Horry came, Brent Barry came, Nick Enixell came, and when he saw Stephen, Robert Horry pointed Let Stephen ask him to buy lunch for Brent Barry, otherwise Brent Barry will hold him accountable for infringement.

This is also an old custom in the NBA. It is common for new players to serve old players, whether it is carrying shoes or luggage. Relatively speaking, it is easier to buy lunch, as long as the old players don’t do it on purpose. It's an embarrassment, let alone that Robert Horry can only buy it for Brent Barry alone.

It’s normal not to buy it for others. The free throw posture Stephen used in the NCAA Finals was created by Brent Barry’s father, Rick Barry. Maybe he wasn’t the first to use it, but he definitely used this posture Carried forward, from this perspective, Stephen can also be regarded as the successor of others.

Brent Riba is the third son of Rick Barry. His elder brother Joan Barry has just renewed his contract with the Houston Rockets. At the same time, Brent Barry is also a legend that white people can fly. His bounce is not as good as in the past, but his importance to the team has not diminished. Before Michael Finley came, he was the team's small forward and the first substitute on the shooting guard.

He didn't make it too difficult for Stephen, he just ordered an ordinary American pizza. Naturally, Stephen wouldn't really buy it for him alone, and he couldn't forget the other two big brothers. Robert Horry didn't make it difficult for Stephen. , he is more than twice the age of Stephen, and he is already used to these things. He ordered the same food as Brent Barry and a cup of hot orange sweat. When asked about Nick Van Exel, he slanted Glancing at Stephen, he casually spit out the name of a food, then turned his head away.

Stephen knows that this is Van Exel, and he is embarrassing himself, but there is nothing to say. It is normal for an old player to embarrass a new player. Who told the Marais to select him this year? In the first round The selected Ion Mahinmi stayed in the French League due to some contract and buyout fee issues, so he is the only rookie player.

Robert Horry kindly asked him if he needed to drive his car, but Stephen refused. He is not familiar with the streets here, so it is more troublesome to drive, and who knows where the things Van Exel wants are there Yes, Stephen is now praying that the whole of San Antonio will not be destroyed. This guy was still in Portland last season. Don't let yourself buy food that only Portland has.

Stephen went outside the training hall, called the rental company directly, and asked the rental company to find him a driver with knowledge of food. After getting the driver's number, Stephen called him directly and told him that from now on, you Go buy these kinds of food for me, and then send them here, I will give you the money, soon, in less than 10 minutes, a taxi stopped in front of Stephen, two American pizzas, A cup of hot orange sweat and a kind of Mexican food that Van Exel said were all delivered to Stephen. When Stephen paid the bill, he also readily gave the other party twice the tip and told him that he would return it if necessary. Call him.

Seeing that Li Daxiao bought the food so quickly, the three of them showed very surprised expressions. Even if it was to buy what Brent Barry and Robert Horry wanted, it would take so much time, let alone Van Exel asked for it, and seeing that the food Stephen bought was exactly what he wanted, Van Exel gave Stephen a rare smile and took the food.

In this way, Stephen has melted into their small group of three. Brent Barry is very easy-going. Although Robert Horry likes to play around and make some innocuous jokes, he also likes to support the younger ones. Van Exel Although it is not easy to approach, but after getting familiar with it, if there is anything that needs attention, it will give advice.

Especially after the three people saw that Stephen's training was more focused on basic training, they gave Stephen a lot of advice based on their own experience and experience, especially in terms of shooting. The shooting percentage is in the early [-]s. For outside players, this is a very high shooting percentage. He naturally has his own unique insights into shooting, and Robert Horry is famous for his lore. The psychology of shooting and shooting The changes naturally have certain unique secrets. After a few days of contact, Stephen felt that his shooting had also improved a lot.

Although the people in the training camp and other people know that Stephen is different from them, but seeing him go in and out with a few well-known players every day, it would be a lie to say that they are not jealous, but they can only be jealous, and they can't protect themselves. Now, the competitors are just these few people in the training camp, and Stephen is no longer at the same level as them.

Other players also began to come to the training camp to report one after another. Tim Duncan came, Bruce Bowen came, and Michael Finley also came. With the help of Robert Horry and the three of them, Stephen was easily accepted by these big guys , especially Duncan looked dazed, the first time he met Stephen, he actually said in Chinese: "Hello."

The handsome French guy Tony Parker who came directly to the team with his suitcase to report surprised Stephen. He had been here for several years and he didn’t even have a place to live. But when he saw Tony Parker and Duncan’s passion When hugging, he couldn't help but be moved by the atmosphere in the team. Even at the University of Southern California, he didn't feel such a harmonious atmosphere.

During the first training, Stephen saw how amazing Tony Parker's speed is. This speed is the speed of advancing with the ball, not the speed of empty running. No wonder some people call him a sports car. This speed is the same as that of a sports car. People are surprised.

In the end, apart from Manu Ginobili and Fabrizio Oberto, who were still playing for the national team, the contracts with official players had been completed. At this time, the head coach Popovich also came forward, following the ball At the first meeting when all the team members met, Stephen was pulled out and introduced to everyone solemnly, which was very meaningful.

Everyone naturally knows that this is the coach telling everyone that this is an official member of the team, not a part-time job, and everyone should treat him as a teammate, but everyone is familiar with Stephen at this time, Popovich’s The introduction only increased everyone's importance to Stephen.
