Nash was also one of the representatives of the golden generation in 1996.
Although he hadn't won a championship in his entire career, he had once led the Suns and set off a small whirlwind that swept the league. For this reason, he won the MVP award for two consecutive seasons.
After that, they teamed up with Kobe. However, due to injuries, their senior Four Heavenly Kings were defeated and left unsettled.
At that time, he was still very young. He was just a rookie who had just graduated from university.
His performance in the game was not outstanding. He only got 12 points and five assists before he was replaced early. The assistant manager who led the team wanted to observe the others more than him, a rookie.
The Suns had lost their core player, Charles Barkley. For the championship, he risked his life and went to Houston to form the Big Three with Olajuwon and Drexler.
It didn't matter if he could get what he wanted in the future. Without this guy, the Sun would most likely enter a rebuilding period.
Therefore, other than examining the rookies like Nash, he couldn't let the others go.
Compared to the Suns 'conservative coach, Don Cheney was much more bold.
He directly arranged for Yang Ming to let loose in the first half of the game. It didn't matter if he won or lost. The number of points he got would count. The second half was the time for the others to perform.
With such a simple and crude arrangement, and such obvious support for Yang Ming, even if the others had objections, they could only endure it. But in the previous match, Yang Ming had already convinced many people, and only a few people had complaints.
But who cared?
Don Cheney would not give up on observing Yang Ming just to take care of the others. Even though Yang Ming had already scored a super score, he still felt that it was not enough.
In today's half, Yang Ming's efficiency was not as high as the previous game, but he still scored 48 points. He made 18 of 27 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 7 of 12 free throws.
His free throws were still stinky, and his field goal percentage was just over half.
Of course, this was because he had not used the free throw training card.
He planned to keep the various training cards he had obtained during this period of time, even the attribute points he had been rewarded with. When he got an official contract and had money, he would ask the training team to use them.
Otherwise, it would be too inefficient to train blindly.
He would think about the 5 attribute points when the time came. In any case, the few 90 points in offensive ability were enough for the low-level Summer League.
Compared to the slightly arrogant Iverson, Nash was much more low-key and angry.
After the match ended, he took the initiative to walk up to Yang Ming, shook his hand in a friendly manner, and gave his blessings.
"Come on, I hope I can meet you in the regular season, especially you who are the main force of the team.”
Yang Ming didn't show a superior attitude and said in a very friendly manner.
"Thank you. You too."
Nash nodded with a smile. Suddenly, he thought of something and said seriously,"But you have to work hard. The overall strength of your team is not bad. Even though you performed so well in the summer league, you still have to work hard to get a main position. Especially if he wanted to win the respect of those old fellows, it was impossible not to put in ten times the effort.”
"I understand. Thank you for your warning.”Yang Ming nodded with a smile and said goodbye to the sun.
Tomorrow, they would have to play back-to-back against the home team, the Arizona Knights.
However, this back-to-back, in fact, other than physical exhaustion, there was no fatigue period. After all, they were all in Salt Lake City, so they didn't have to fly around.
The next afternoon, the third game of the Knicks was held as scheduled.
This time, more people came to the stadium. The Knicks walked into the stadium and it was already filled with people. Nearly 3,000 people surrounded the side of the court. It was airtight and the atmosphere was bursting.
Yang Ming's two consecutive rounds of crazy scoring had already attracted more attention. Everyone was looking forward to him.
Some fans even gave up the opportunity to watch the top scorer's game and chose this game.
They only felt that Yang Ming was more awesome and that the competition was more interesting.
Yang Ming didn't let them down. He still only played half of the match and continued to perform exceptionally. Whether it was breaking through the inside line to score or shooting three points from the outside line, it always quickly made the opponent collapse.
With 13 out of 19 shots, Yang Ming once again scored 38 points in the first half, handing over a perfect result.
Perhaps the pressure from him was too great, but Iverson did not want to be outdone and exploded again.
In the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the San Antonio Spurs, he took advantage of the opponent's paint and scored more than 40 points in three quarters. He handed over the same excellent results, which perfectly reflected the value of the top scorer.
It was worth mentioning that in the summer league in Southern California, Kobe of the Los Angeles Clippers had quietly played an average of 25 in the first three games. He was not much inferior to Iverson.
Especially in the match against the Chinese national team, when he played against Hu Weidong, both of them scored 30 points. The latter scored six three-pointers in a single game, and his performance was not inferior to Kobe's throughout the game. It was very eye-catching.
Unfortunately, the national team was much weaker overall. They still lost to the Los Angeles Clippers by 20 points.
After the third match, Yang Ming welcomed a guest in his hotel room.
The team's management, led by the general manager, Ernie Greenfield, carried bags and knocked on his door with a smile.
When Yang Ming opened the door and put it in, the general manager's assistant took out a contract and placed it in front of him. Greenfield then said,"Young, congratulations on leading the team to three consecutive victories. Your outstanding performance has earned you an official contract with the team.”
After saying that, he looked at Yang Ming with a smile. His eyes were very serious, trying to see the excitement on his face after receiving the contract.
However, he was disappointed. Yang Ming had a calm expression as he flipped through the contract without batting an eyelid.
Hmm?
What was going on?
This is different from what I imagined.
How could a rookie be so calm?
But soon, Yang Ming gave an answer.
He looked at the contract and saw that it was only one million dollars a year, with a three-year term of 450 dollars. He did not say whether he was satisfied or not. Instead, he closed the contract and looked at Greenfield indifferently."You're late."
"Are you late?"
The general manager was stunned. Then, he asked nervously,"You don't mean..."
He stared at Yang Ming, and his confident face was instantly broken." You've already signed with another team?”
(Is anyone watching? Are they all being raised? There were only a few brothers in the comments section. Also, what about the flower reviews and rewards? I'm not greedy, haha!）
