After the draft, as usual in previous years, the free market and summer league will begin immediately.

But this year's situation is different. With labor negotiations breaking down many times, the NBA is facing a shutdown crisis at any time.

If there is a shutdown, the consequences will be quite bad.

First of all, it will affect the normal operation of the team.

Without games and spectators, there will be no commercial income, which will cause huge losses to the team.

Secondly, it will affect the players' competitive status.

During the lockout, players are unable to use any of the team's training facilities for training.

If there is no competition or training for a long time, the player's own condition will be seriously affected.

In the end, it will affect the operation of the alliance.

If the league is suspended, it means that all plans and plans need to be re-formulated, which will seriously affect the normal and orderly development of the entire NBA league.

Therefore, it will be a huge loss for either party.

Judging from the current negotiation situation, the contradiction between labor and management is still very large, and it is impossible to reach an agreement in a short time.

The NBA lockout is basically a certainty!

The NBA's suspension will not have much impact on Sun Yi. He should still eat, drink, and enjoy the vacation according to his own plan.

Happy time is always short, Sun Yi devoted himself to work again.

Since Sun Yi’s third generation boots and Curry’s second generation boots will be released in the summer.

Sun Yi, Curry and Schwartz's management team boarded a flight to China.

…

On July 1, labor negotiations broke down again without any suspense.

NBA Commissioner David Stern announced bad news to fans around the world: the NBA will be suspended indefinitely.

Not long after the news was announced, some quick-responsive players had already begun to take action, asking their agents to contact overseas teams and preparing to play games abroad to earn money.

Among them are some big-name stars who have contracts.

Back then, Kobe almost joined the CBA’s Shanxi team.

The big-name players have all left the court to play overseas, and those players in Hukou who rely on basic salaries to support their families are even more anxious. They don't have a good habit of saving money.

Now as long as these low-level players are given a chance to play overseas and earn money, they will not hesitate to carry their luggage.

As soon as the NBA was suspended, most NBA players were already feeling impetuous.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, as soon as Sun Yi and his team got off the plane, they learned the news of the suspension.

"Sun, several of my players want to try to make money by playing overseas. What do you think?" Schwartz wanted to hear Sun Yi's opinion.

"I have no such plan and will wait patiently for the shutdown to end. I believe it won't be too long."

After Sun Yi answered, he immediately thought of something, took out his mobile phone and started sending group messages.

He doesn't want to see the team's lineup be uneven when the new season starts.

Now the team cannot contact players against the rules, so he, the team leader, can only contact every teammate.

These are all plans that the team has already made.

Immediately, Sun Yi sent a text message to each of his teammates, telling them that the shutdown would not last long and would be over soon, so don't worry about running out of balls to play.

After a while, most of the Warriors players responded to the message, saying there was no problem and they would not go to play abroad.

The content of Butler's reply was different, boldly asking if he could train with him during the offseason.

"Okay, when I return to Auckland in half a month, you can come and train with me."

After finishing their work, Sun Yi and his group walked out of the airport and took the long-awaited special car to their hotel.

After a night's rest, Sun Yi and Curry began traveling to major cities across the country to promote sneaker sales.

During this period, Daystar Sports specially held fan meetings in order to give back to fans and friends.

Sun Yi and Curry naturally came off the court to interact with the fans, and the scene was very heated.

Sun Yi challenged five lucky fans one-on-one and maintained a complete victory despite being let down.

Curry competed with three lucky fans specially selected by the organizer to make three-pointers.

These three lucky fans are still very powerful and put a little pressure on Curry.

The primary school students were still very good. They withstood the pressure and won all the victories without any accidental overturning.

After the fun activity, Sun Yi repaid the fans' enthusiasm by throwing autographed basketballs to lucky fans, and also presented sneakers and other gifts to the five fans who had just played.

His move immediately triggered a wave of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Curry understood the situation and gave the fans signed basketballs and sneakers in a stylish way, which also caused a wave of cheers.

This meeting was very successful. Not only did it have great publicity effects, it also further enhanced Curry's popularity.

Sun Yi's popularity does not need to increase anymore. At this stage, he is already the number one player in domestic sports.

Time flies by and the promotional campaign that lasted for more than half a month is over.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, Sun Yi took Curry to play in the capital for a day.

Not only did they go to the Great Wall, but they also ate many unique Chinese delicacies.

The next day, Sun Yi and Curry set off back to Auckland.

They have big goals for next season and will make the most of it this summer.

Originally, the Basketball Association wanted to invite Sun Yi to play in the Asian Men's Basketball Championship, but he decisively refused.

With Arab League and Dayao, they can easily dominate Asia.

Dayao is just going to hold the line, he won't play for too long, and he will strictly control his playing time.

If you can't even qualify for the Olympics, then you might as well not compete in the Olympics to avoid being embarrassed when the time comes.

…

On July 18, Sun Yi and Curry returned to Orlando and began preparing for the summer special training plan.

A professional training venue has been found. It is only a few kilometers away from Sun Yi's villa. It is a private basketball training hall.

The owner of the arena is a loyal fan of Sun Yi, and he very generously said that Sun Yi can use it as long as he wants, and the price is only a pair of Sun Yi's limited edition signature sneakers.

After securing the training venue, Sun Yi called Procopio, the trainer who was on vacation, and asked him to introduce a professional training team, and then informed him to come to work tomorrow morning.

Procopio was very efficient and quickly found a well-organized team of trainers for Sun Yi. We will go to the training hall together tomorrow morning.

After settling the logistics, Sun Yi immediately sent messages to Kelai, Harden, Butler and others, asking them to come over and train together when they have time.

After receiving the news, the young Warriors players all expressed that they would come to train together.

Veterans such as Shane Battier did not come to join in the fun. They had to spend time recuperating their bodies.

Evans, Cousins, Leonard and others all expressed that they would come to Sun Yi's training camp.

Harden said he has no free time and will train with Durant and Westbrook in the summer.
Chapter completed!
