In the afternoon, after the Warriors' daily training, the media opening time came.
Media reporters swarmed into the stadium, looking for Sun Yi and Curry.
After playing in the summer league, Sun Yi and Curry became very popular, once surpassing the No. 1 pick Griffin.
Media reporters will definitely not let go of such an explosive hot spot, and they all want to interview this newly promoted Warriors duo.
In order to let domestic fans know the latest developments of Sun Yi, the sports channel specially sent Director Zhang to Auckland to interview the team.
After Director Zhang led his team into the arena, he did not immediately interview Sun Yi. Instead, he found other Warriors players and wanted to hear their opinions on Sun Yi.
"Sun's strength has been recognized by me. His current state is better than everyone else. I believe he will become an indispensable part of the team."
Ellis was interviewed by Chinese reporters and gave Sun Yi a fair evaluation.
It seems that the previous bullfighting competition really subdued the arrogant little male.
"Sun is a very humble person. I fell in love with this young man the first time I saw him. It feels great to play with him. He is a partner worthy of playing alongside."
Maggette also truthfully expressed her inner evaluation of Sun Yi.
Director Zhang was very happy when he heard that the two core players spoke so highly of Sun Yi.
This shows that Sun Yi has been accepted by the Warriors' star player and integrated into the Warriors team.
After interviewing these Warriors players, Director Zhang led his team to Sun Yi for the interview.
"The atmosphere of the team is very good. My teammates are very enthusiastic and take good care of me, helping me quickly integrate into the team." Sun Yi faced the camera with a hearty smile.
Director Zhang nodded with a smile on his face. Looking at Sun Yi's thickened arms, he knew that this young man had not been lazy in the summer, and he was very satisfied.
This interview will be broadcast on "Sports News" at noon tomorrow and "Sports World" in the evening.
He believes that more fans will know about this sunny and cheerful young man.
After the interview, Director Zhang exchanged a few words with Sun Yi and then left the arena with the team.
Of course, not all reporters are so friendly in their interviews.
After that, several media reporters jumped out to cause trouble.
"Sun, we all know that the Warriors already have Corey Maggette at the small forward position. Do you think the team will let you start in the new season?"
Hearing such questions, Sun Yi felt that the reporter in front of him was insulting his IQ.
Only a fool would fall for such an obvious trap!
"I believe the head coach will make the best arrangements. No matter what he asks me to do, I will obey the arrangements." Sun Yi dealt with it easily.
After that, Sun Yi answered a few questions in a satisfactory manner, leaving the media reporters unable to find any faults.
Seeing that the media reporters who caused the trouble were frustrated one after another, Sun Yi couldn't help but praise his own IQ, and at the same time thought that there was really no need for him to memorize press releases.
In this way, Sun Yilai's first day reporting for the Warriors passed without any danger.
In the next two or three days, the Warriors just organized players to conduct restorative training, which was not very intensive.
There is no way around this. A sudden increase in training intensity will cause many players to be unable to persist, and the risk of injury will be much higher.
Nelson is unwilling to take risks, and he is even less willing to cause resentment among players.
The impact of the team's internal strife last season was very bad. He didn't want to see it happen again and tried every means to improve the team's cohesion.
But such a low training intensity cannot meet Sun Yi's requirements, so he will stay and practice more after every team training.
When Curry saw Sun Yi training so hard, he naturally wouldn't be lazy and accompanied Sun Yi for additional training.
After the team's daily training, Sun Yi and Curry stayed for additional training as usual.
While they were concentrating on training, a figure appeared on the side of the court.
"Stephen, as Sun's good brother, if you don't persuade that guy and tell him to stop messing around, you really won't become useless if you continue to practice like this?!"
"It's nothing. Sun's recovery power is amazing. No matter what he does that day, he can recover completely after just sleeping."
Curry, who came to the sidelines to rest, replied casually, then reacted, turned his head and looked over, and found that it was Monta Ellis.
"I see. No wonder he dares to train so risklessly. If Sun trains with this kind of intensity every day, it won't be surprising at all that he can defeat me."
Ellis has some admiration for Sun Yi. As a descendant of a blacksmith, he not only inherited the great ironmaking industry, he is also a solid iron man and undergoes high-intensity training every day.
But when he saw the intensity of Sun Yi's training, he felt that his previous training was too humane and not crazy enough.
Not long after, Sun Yi also stopped, came to the sidelines, and saw Ellis communicating with Curry.
"Why is this guy here?" Sun Yi muttered in his heart.
Immediately, he walked forward and said hello to Xiao Gongju.
"Sun, I will come to train with you in the future. Don't get me wrong. I'm just here to supervise you two. I don't want you two to become ineffective and make me lose two capable helpers in the new season."
Ellis explained it again, still unable to let go of the arrogance in his heart.
"Monta, welcome to join us."
Sun Yi didn't care at all about Xiao Gongju's arrogance. He was eager for this guy to join so that he could be honest and upright.
At this point, Xiao Gongju Ellis joined Sun Yi and his team's additional training group.
…
Time flies by. After a week of pre-season training camp, all members of the Warriors have passed the physical examination and training has entered the next stage.
Before training, Nelson announced a group list.
Group A: Stephen Curry, Monta Ellis, Corey Maggette, Sun Yi, Andris Biedrins.
Group B: Watson, Raja Bell, Reggie Williams, Anthony Randolph, Anthony Tolliver.
The remaining players are assigned to group C.
Some players on the Warriors were a little unconvinced when they saw this grouping.
Even if Sun Yi and Curry are two rookies with high draft picks, they will not be able to convince the public if they are appointed to the starting lineup before they have proven their ability.
Old Nelson saw the demeanor of his players and knew very well what they were thinking at this time.
"I know some of you are not convinced, so I will arrange a training match. If you think you can do it, then show it boldly.
The starting lineup is not static, the philosophy I have always believed in is: the capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down!"
Some Warriors players were very excited after hearing Nelson's words and felt that the starting position was theirs.
"Then let's start the warm-up. I want to see your determination!"
After Nelson finished speaking, he asked assistant coach Sky Smart to arrange the intra-team match.
