The first day of training is basically over, but there are still many players who are unwilling to miss this opportunity. Many of them stayed and did some bench presses, return runs, and some shooting training.
Of course, there are many players who want to seize this opportunity to get close to coaches and team staff, and Yang Zhenxing is no exception. Although it is something he is unwilling to do through the back door, communicating with the team staff will help him improve himself.
It must be of some help
"Anthony, who have you been training with recently?" Yang Zhenxing found Anthony Davis
"Didn't I tell you? I trained with Patrick Ewing recently and asked him to coach me," Davis said. "You are so good. You have superstars to coach you." Yang Zhenxing was envious.
"Forget it, Patrick is too lazy. He left me alone on the field and went to eat while he was having fun."
"Okay, that's good. I don't have anyone to watch me train." Yang Zhenxing was annoyed.
"Who are you talking to, Anthony?" A tall, scary-looking strong man came over and said in a deep voice.
Isn’t this the Knicks’ superstar Hall of Fame player Patrick Ewing? Although Yang Zhenxing cannot be said to admire him, he will definitely be deeply impressed by these superstars.
"Oh," Davis said to the big black man, "this is my teammate at the University of Kentucky, Yang Zhenxing."
"Oh oh oh, I know, he's the one who scored the winning goal at the University of Kansas in the NCAA finals. Hello, I'm Ewing."
"Hello, I'm from China." Yang Zhenxing didn't expect that the black and strong Ewing could be so kind and approachable.
"How are you now, Chinese guy, is there any team that values you?" Ewing asked him
"Oh, forget it, no one is looking for me. I don't know if I can be selected?"
"How is it possible? I have watched your game and it was very good. How come no team is interested in you?"
"I don't know either. It seems that my level is really limited."
"This won't work. You have great potential and need someone to guide you."
"There is no one to guide me, what should I do? How about you give me some guidance?"
"Oh, I can't. I'm a center, an inside player. You're not someone who often plays inside. You're just a shooter. Let me think about it." Ewing paused for a moment.
"Ah? What should we do?"
"Yang, don't worry, my master can do well in the NBA, he will definitely find a way" Anthony said to Yang Zhenxing
"Yes," Ewing continued, "you know my old teammate Starks?"
"Starks? By the way, I know," Yang Zhenxing said, "That's the capable shooter beside you."
"Yeah, he was an undrafted rookie back then," Ewing said.
"Oh? I really don't understand this. How can an undrafted rookie be so good?"
"Of course, I will introduce you to him and he will give you guidance."
"Really, that's great. With his guidance, I will definitely make progress." Although Yang Zhenxing wanted people like Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird the most, Starks
That's not bad. After all, he is an All-Star. It's not bad to get his guidance. Yang Zhenxing is still very excited.
"Thank you very much, senior"
"You're welcome. I like you very much. You have his shadow. I don't want your talent to be buried. Most people in the NBA now tend to only pay attention to the player's body. For a player with your level of skill, many teams don't
I care too much, that’s what my teammate Starks is like, and I don’t want this to happen again.”
Ewing then said, "Okay, I'm going to call John Starks now and ask him if it's okay."
"OK"
Ewing took out his mobile phone, which looked extremely small in Ewing's big hand.
"Hello, I'm John Starks"
"Hi, I'm Patrick"
"Oh, man, why did you remember to call me now?"
"I miss you. What have you been busy with lately?"
"There's nothing wrong. I've been helping a few high school players train recently."
"High school student, oh my, you are so uninterested, training with high school students"
"What's wrong with high school students? These people are all future superstars. I will be the superstar's master in the future," Starks said proudly.
"John, do you know what I'm busy with now?"
"Why didn't I know? The whole world needs to know about you."
"Haha" Ewing laughed, "Do you want to coach a future star?"
"Oh, really, is there such a good thing?"
Yang Zhenxing on the side listened carefully to Ewing's speech. Anthony Davis had already gone to chat with the beautiful cheerleaders. Yang Zhenxing was anxiously waiting for the answer on the phone.
"Of course, Yang Zhenxing, have you heard of it?"
"Yang Zhenxing? No!"
When Ewing heard that Starks had never heard of Yang Zhenxing, he said angrily, "You don't watch the NCAA, what are you doing all day long?"
"Oh oh oh" Starks then remembered: "Is that the one who killed me? Is he from China?"
"Yes, that's him. Are you willing to coach him?" Ewing said
Yang Zhenxing knew that the most critical moment had come, and it depended on whether Starks could agree. Yang Zhenxing pricked up his ears and listened very carefully.
"Okay, of course, I'm worried about having nothing to do. With a player like this, of course I'm happy to help him."
"Okay, that's all I'll say thank you for him. Let's talk again when we have time. We must come to Chicago another day. There is a rookie training camp here."
"I'm about to go. I've bought a ticket a long time ago. I can go tomorrow." Starks can't wait any longer. He is very happy to be able to guide potential newcomers.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, bye"
"Bye-Bye"
Ewing hung up the phone
Looking back, he saw that Yang Zhenxing had been standing behind him, and he was a little surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for your reply"
Ewing laughed, "Are you so anxious?"
"Hehe" Yang Zhenxing smiled sheepishly
"I tell you, he agreed and he will come to Chicago tomorrow."
"Really or not, will you come tomorrow?" It turns out that he is also in such a hurry. It seems that Senior Starks still has a good impression of him.
"Yes, he will be back tomorrow. He can't wait any longer. He hopes to help you as soon as possible," Ewing said calmly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Yang Zhenxing jumped up excitedly and rushed to the basketball court like crazy.
