Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-October, and the NBA preseason was about to begin.

During this period of time, the Warriors continued to adjust their lineup and practice offensive and defensive tactics.

In the hard training every day, the team's tacit understanding gradually increases.

As the preseason approaches, outside media and fans are full of expectations for the Warriors in the new season, especially Chinese fans.

The Mosaic team has announced that Yao Yao will be reimbursed for this season, and the Lakers have also waived Sun Yue, leaving domestic fans to focus on Ah Lian and Sun Yi, hoping that they can perform well.

Although Yao Yao was canceled for the season and could not play games, he did not forget to mention his little brother.

When the preseason was approaching, he specifically called Sun Yi to give some instructions, impart some game experience and explain some precautions.

At the same time, during the exchange between the two, Dayao followed Sun Yi's advice and prepared to lose weight while recuperating and actively recover.

Dayao wants to extend his career, fight side by side with rising stars like Sun Yi, and win a valuable medal for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team in the Olympics. Then his career will be complete.

…

The day before the preseason started, Nelson called together all the Warriors players, formulated offensive and defensive tactics, and then announced the starting lineup.

There are no changes, it's still the same starting lineup.

Before the official start of the season, no matter whether this lineup is successful or not, it will not be changed easily.

When the Warriors players heard this arrangement, they had no objections.

After many intra-team competitions, they have recognized the strength of Sun Yi and Curry.

After the starting list of players was announced, Sun Yi frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.

Biedrins didn't play well in the team's training games, but Nelson still didn't give up on this guy.

Naturally, he would not refute Old Nelson's arrangement, but he was a little worried that Biedrins would turn into an undercover agent and play their part, which would be very uncomfortable.

Biedrins is actually not bad. After signing a big contract last year, his professional attitude was quite conscientious. He also averaged a double-double of 11.9 points and 11.2 rebounds last season, which is fully worthy of the big contract.

But the turning point came after 2009. This guy's data plummeted off a cliff and he became a representative figure with high salary and low ability.

Sun Yi can see some signs of this from the pre-season training camp.

This guy came back from the offseason. Although he wasn't as fat as a ball, the muscle lines on his body were obviously reduced.

This shows that Biedrins became a little distracted after signing the big contract and became very undisciplined. He only focused on eating, drinking and having fun during the offseason and did not conduct recovery training at all.

Such undisciplined players will be eliminated from the NBA within a few seasons.

There are too many such examples, such as Wen Baker, Kemp, Odom and others.

Sun Yi has no sympathy for such players who are eliminated because of lack of self-discipline. They are the ones to blame.

To be honest, if Biedrins is still the young boy chasing the wind, then the Warriors are not weak, and it is not impossible to return to the playoffs.

"I have to think of a way to make this guy change for the benefit of the team."

Now that Sun Yi has joined the Warriors, he can indeed do some things to influence his teammates around him.

For example, before Biedrins has completely fallen due to winning a big contract, he can be rescued appropriately.

If this guy really can't support himself up the wall, he can only let him fend for himself.

"Hey! I haven't figured out my own affairs yet, so I want to change other people. It's really too easy to worry about things!"

Sun Yi shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and just let this happen naturally.

Then, he changed his mind and thought about his next plan.

Although he and Curry were in the starting lineup, as long as they stretched their hips in these preseason games, they would be kicked off and started as substitutes.

Therefore, both Sun Yi and Curry cherish this precious opportunity.

"Looks like I have to work overtime and do some homework tonight."

After the tactical meeting, Sun Yi did not stay to get involved and returned to the apartment with Curry.

After returning home, Sun Yi specifically studied the Timberwolves' lineup during this period.

The pre-season schedule has been arranged.

In the first game, the Warriors will face the Timberwolves at home.

At the power forward position, the Timberwolves' starter will probably be Kevin Love.

"Um, compared with Love, my height and weight are not superior. I don't know if I will be beaten." Sun Yi looked at Love's information, thoughtfully.

In order to adapt to the confrontation with Love in advance, Sun Yi entered a virtual dream before going to bed and simulated Love's tool man to fight against him.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the pre-season.

…

On October 11, the NBA preseason officially started.

Early in the morning, Sun Yi's cell phone kept ringing.

After talking to his parents, he looked at his unread text messages.

Lily Collins: Come on!

Sun Yi smiled after looking at it, and then smiled back.

Immediately afterwards, he successively responded to text messages to Dayao, Schwartz, Whiteside and others.

After finishing everything, Sun Yi went out to meet Curry and headed to the training facility together.

Even though it was a game day, they still went to the training hall for daily training as always.

Not long after, Sun Yi and Curry appeared in the training hall, where Procopio and Lyles were already waiting.

Sun Yi and Curry separated and followed their respective trainers to the training ground.

"Sun, the devil's training is temporarily suspended. It is not suitable to do high-intensity training on competition days." Procopio suggested.

Although he knew that Sun Yi could quickly recover his strength, he still didn't mess around.

"Mike, I understand." Sun Yi was not surprised, nodded and replied.

After seeing Sun Yi's statement, Procopio continued: "This morning's training will be conducted according to the training subjects on match day."

Sun Yi had no objection. After finishing the warm-up activities, he started shooting training.

Two hours later, Procopio stopped the shooting training and took Sun Yi to the gym for strength training.

"Come and warm up, let the blood in the whole body boil, which will help you relieve tension."

Sun Yi nodded, came to the machine, and started pounding iron crazily, immersing himself in the training.

After the strength training, Sun Yi conducted other training.

After a few hours, all daily training is over.

Sun Yi and Curry met again and went to the locker room to change clothes.

When leaving for Oracle Arena, Procopio patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and said jokingly.

"Sun, you are my first client. You must fight hard to make my reputation known."

"Mike, don't worry, just sit back and wait to receive the money!" Sun Yi replied with a hearty smile.
Chapter completed!
