When they arrived in Salt Lake City, the Knicks quickly arrived at their hotel.
For a summer league team like them, which was made up of draft picks, free agents, and rookies, it was not easy to enjoy the exclusive hotel treatment of the regular season lineup.
They were treated much better than the current NBPL development league. When the development league players played away games, they could only take buses and stay in hotels. The food and treatment were not on the same level.
However, these summer league teams could enjoy a private jet to send them off. After they got off the plane, they could even stay in a hotel. It was simply heaven and earth.
Yang Ming's decision not to start developing in the development league was undoubtedly the right choice. After all, the current NBPL was only the lowest level of the league. There were not many teams, and the Knicks 'subordinate teams had not yet been established. The attention they received was completely different.
He only cared about the summer training camp and had successfully gotten a training camp contract for himself. His development was still quite smooth.
Yang Ming said,
John Wallace,
Walter McArty,
Dotard Jones,
Anthony Tucker,
Scott Brooks,
Kris Zent,
Eric Rackner,
The other four draft picks were the Knicks 'summer lineup this season. Other than Yang Ming, the top four players all had official contracts. The one with the lowest annual salary was Tucker, who signed a one-year basic salary contract with the team last year for $230,000.
However, this summer, his contract had ended, and the team did not intend to renew it. That was why he continued to participate in the training camp, in order to strive to perform well in the summer league. He needed to work hard for the next contract.
When he returned to his room, Yang Ming took the elevator downstairs, but he didn't expect to run into Allen Iverson in his uniform.
Who was this guy?
Iverson walked into the elevator and was a little surprised to see Yang Ming, a Chinese player with black hair and yellow skin wearing a Knicks uniform. He looked back and forth and realized that the other party was half a head taller than him. He also had an extraordinary and delicate appearance. More importantly, from his childish face, he could tell that the other party was definitely very young.
He recalled the talent show half a month ago, but he couldn't recall the existence of Yang Ming.
Absent?
Or a free agent from the United States?
If Yang Ming was really present at the conference, he would definitely know. After all, his skin color and hair color were too eye-catching.
When they arrived at the hotel lobby, the two of them went out at the same time, but there was no communication or greeting.
Iverson came with the halo of being the top scorer. Other than being surprised by Yang Ming's race, he didn't care much about anything else. Naturally, he didn't care if he knew the other person.
He had his own pride. He thought that he would definitely make a name for himself in the NBA. He didn't care about Yang Ming, who was a draft pick who didn't know what would happen tomorrow.
As for Yang Ming, he had long been famous for Iverson's future career. He was a vagrant, a vagrant for the championship. Well, this statement was full of praise. It could even be said that he was abandoned everywhere and was forced to wander in the later stages. He knew it very well.
Therefore, he didn't think that he needed to act as enthusiastic as when he met his idol.
Not to mention that he was not a fan of Iverson, and at the moment, he was probably going to be an opponent for the rest of his life.
She had no intention of getting to know him, so there was no need for him to stick his warm face to her cold buttocks.
Who didn't have pride?
However, when the two of them walked out of the hotel, the news media reporters who seemed to have heard the news had blocked the entrance. When they saw Iverson walk out, they surrounded him crazily. Dozens of microphones were extended in front of him like long guns and short cannons.
Yang Ming was beautifully ignored, allowing him to pass through the crowd and disappear into the night.
Even if he was wearing a Knicks uniform.
On the street, Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Iverson, who was surrounded by reporters.
As expected, the treatment of the top scorer and the loser was different.
Yang Ming went out to buy toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities. When he returned to the hotel from the supermarket fifteen minutes later, Iverson was still in the interview. Yang Ming turned a blind eye and walked through the crowd again.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, a reporter finally noticed him and the Knicks uniform he was wearing. He was surprised and subconsciously asked Iverson.
"Aren, who is he? I saw you walking out with him. Do you know each other? Are they friends?"
"Who is he? I also want to ask you, I don't know him!”Iverson looked back at Yang Ming and shrugged.
Hearing this, Yang Ming did not have any emotional fluctuations, but the system jumped out at this time.
" Option 1: Defeat Allen Iverson in the next game and let him know who you are. Reward: Single Defense Training Card. Failure, 10.3 points of ability value deducted.”
" Option 2: In the summer league, perform 30 per game, get an official contract with the team, and be rewarded with a passing training card. Failure, 10.3 points of ability value deducted.”
F * ck, did I offend you with my 30% ability value? Why do you always want to deduct it?
Regardless of whether he could complete the mission or defeat Iverson, Yang Ming felt that he had to complain about the system.
When he entered the elevator, he suddenly remembered that their first opponent seemed to be the Philadelphia 76ers.
At the thought of this, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
Alright then, I'll use my strength to crush you in the first round to let you know me.
July 7th, afternoon.
The Rocky Mountain Summer League began.
The New York Knicks 'first opponent was the Philadelphia 76ers.
Compared to the 20,000-seat arena for NBA official games, the arena used by Rocky Mountain was much smaller. There were only 2,000 to 3,000 seats around the stadium.
However, because of Iverson's champion halo, this game received a lot of attention. There was almost no empty seat in the stadium, and the stairs were filled.
But everyone, including the reporters, fans, scouts, and management, had their eyes on Iverson.
Everyone was looking forward to his next performance and whether he could shine like the NCAA.
As for Yang Ming, who was warming up on the Knicks 'side, WhoCare!
Other than his black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, as well as his outstanding appearance, Yang Ming looked ordinary and unremarkable.
Most importantly, no one knew who he was!
