After the game, Sun Hao... was surrounded by fans asking for his autograph .
It's hard to imagine that this is the treatment of a No. 24 pick in the first round.
But no No. 24 pick in the first round has ever performed like this.
It's not just about scoring a lot of points, but also about his sophisticated and steady style of play.
If you don’t look at Sun Hao’s youthful face, you would think that this guy is actually thirty years old.
After satisfying the fans, Nowitzki and Nash came over.
"My little brother!"
Nowitzki couldn't hide his excitement and gave Sun Hao a bear hug as soon as he came up.
Sun Hao also smiled and hugged Nowitzki, but he was smaller than the other, so he felt like a little bird when being hugged.
He is now eager to play in the regular season. If he partners with Nowitzki and Nash, they will really blow up their opponents on the offensive end.
Nash.
It was only then that Sun Hao noticed that Nash's expression was a little different from when he first arrived, and he didn't know what had happened.
After Nowitzki and Nash left, Cuban and Nelson also came down.
He's actually kind of... popular in the Mavericks.
And old Nelson came up and gave him a big hug.
That tower-like body was even stronger than Nowitzki's.
"I'll protect you in Dallas from now on."
What Sun Hao didn't expect was that Cuban, who was traveling with him, actually said such words to him.
Obviously, he also knew that Sun Hao's skin color would cause some trouble in Dallas, so this was to reassure Sun Hao in advance.
As for why they do this?
No matter how you look at it, Sun Hao is going to make a lot of money for him!
However, as a team owner, he is probably the only one who speaks like this.
Yao Ming and others came over only after Cuban left.
"If only you could come with us to Sydney."
Yao Ming couldn't help but say.
From the admiring look in Sun Hao's eyes at the beginning to his words now, Yao Ming is completely attracted by Sun Hao.
After Fernandez, Sun Hao is likely to have his second little fan.
"We'll do it together. Good food is never too late."
Sun Hao replied with a smile.
He didn't pat Yao Ming's shoulder because Yao Ming was much taller than Yi Jianlian and he might not be able to reach him even if he jumped.
"Come on, Cuban and Nelson both told me to come to Dallas as soon as possible."
Yao Ming was very proactive, but Wang Zhizhi just smiled and said nothing. Sun Hao also knew his character and spoke to him directly.
Wang Zhizhi smiled and nodded.
The last time in Dongguan, although Li Yuanwei did not agree to him, he also helped him communicate with the Bayi team privately.
As long as he plays well in the Olympics and helps the Bayi team win five consecutive championships, he can report to the Mavericks.
What Sun Hao said will soon become a reality.
After saying hello, Sun Hao returned to the locker room this time.
Most of the team members have already left.
This is also the biggest difference from when he was in Europe. On this night of his career, Prigioni and others will not leave first.
But it is understandable that summer league teams are put together at a temporary basis and everyone is fighting for an opportunity.
Whether Sun Hao fights well or not has little to do with them.
Bale hasn't left yet, and judging from his appearance, he seems to be planning to stay and practice more.
Sun Hao ignored him and prepared to take a shower.
When he came out, Bell had already gone out.
He packed his things and went back to the hotel for training.
26 points in the first game and 31 points in the second game.
In the two summer league games, Sun Hao's performance was better than Curry's and was almost as good as Kobe's back then.
But he was not satisfied, and his ambition was not here.
He is also very clear about the level of the summer league, which may not be as good as the Champions League if compared.
After all, these are all temporary teams, and the gap in skills and tactics can no longer be made up by physical fitness.
It is most appropriate to use Kobe as an example in this regard.
Kobe, who was once a dominant force in the summer league, averaged only 7.6 points per game in his rookie season with the Lakers.
He didn't want to go down that path.
So he entered the system, called out the caddy Yi Jianlian, and continued to practice step-backs and catch-the-ball three-pointers.
It’s not easy to be a genius boy in real life.
To put it simply, if you want to show off, you have to work hard behind the scenes.
After the training, he went to the system store to take a look.
When upgrading, these items were marked with prices, and the unit was honor points.
This is a bit like 2K, it is the universal currency of the system, usually obtained through competition evaluation.
But he has already played two games and his honor points are only 9.
This can't be bought in a store.
The level of the summer league is still too low.
All we can do is wait.
After coming out of the system, Sun Hao took a shower and prepared to rest for a while before continuing to practice.
But his stomach was rumbling a little. High-intensity training consumes a lot of physical energy.
He was considering whether to go downstairs to buy some food.
Just then, Bell came back.
"I thought you didn't eat dinner, so I brought you something."
What made Sun Hao a little bit unbelievable was that Bell, who had always been extremely withdrawn, actually took the initiative to bring him food!
Although in theory, eating midnight snacks is normal.
Sun Hao didn’t know what happened, but he still stood up, said thank you, and took the things.
It was late at night and he really didn't want to go down.
I opened the bag and found bread inside.
How come there is no meat here?
After complaining in his mind, he took it and started eating.
Then he discovered one thing: when people are hungry, everything tastes delicious.
"what happens?"
After he finished eating, he asked Bell.
There is no need to be too attentive.
Even though it was just a few pieces of bread, given Bell's personality, something big must have happened.
"No, nothing."
However, Bell's answer was beyond Sun Hao's expectations, and he went to take a shower after he finished speaking.
This guy is really... weird.
He didn't think much about it, and during the break, he played Snake on his phone.
After a while, Bell came out of the shower and lay down on his bed.
"Sun, why do you play basketball?"
Just then, Bell suddenly spoke.
Sun Hao felt more and more that this guy was a little abnormal today.
"Hobby."
But he answered anyway.
These two grown men lived together and hadn't spoken more than five sentences to each other in two days. That feeling was really depressing.
Now Bell suddenly wanted to chat. Although he didn't know why, it was a good chance to relieve his boredom.
"Hobby?"
Bell was surprised by Sun Hao's answer.
Even thought it sounded... a little fake.
Sun Hao nodded.
That's exactly why he did that.
Money? There are countless easier ways to make money in time travel.
Fame? If you have money, why worry about not having a name?
The rest is just hobby.
When the system asked him, "Do you like basketball?", he had already given the most truthful answer in his heart.
He just wants to play basketball and wants to play on the court.
Isn't this just a hobby?
Seeing Sun Hao's serious expression, Bell suddenly felt that it wasn't so fake anymore.
Maybe...if Sun Hao doesn't play well, he will have to go back and inherit billions of dollars.
"And you?"
Sun Hao turned around and asked.
"Money, and my father's expectations."
What Bell said is very true.
Sun Hao also discovered that Bell wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him tonight.
This change is a bit too fast!
"My father is a very good athlete. He is now a sports theory instructor at the University of Miami. What he tells others most is that my son will definitely be an NBA player in the future because he is his son."
After Bell finished speaking, Sun Hao quickly understood.
Gasol is obsessed with his brother, while Bale’s father is obsessed with his son.
But it’s not surprising. It’s actually quite normal to want your son to be successful.
"You will do it."
Sun Hao continued.
Although Bell had not yet made his mark at that time, he was a main player for the Suns in history.
He played in the NBA for 12 seasons, averaging about 15 points per game in his peak season. He was also selected to the All-Defensive First Team and was a top 3D player.
No matter how you look at it, this should have met his father's expectations.
Bell smiled bitterly.
He is not Sun Hao, and he doesn't know what his future will be like.
All he knew was that he was not drafted, then played in the Development League for a year, and then was beaten by Crawford in the first game of this year.
If Sun Hao hadn't passed him a few good balls in this game, he might not have had a chance to play in the next game , and his trip to the summer league would have been in vain.
"Thank you, Sun."
Bell's words were full of gratitude.
"Um?"
Sun Hao turned and looked at Bell in confusion.
He just said a word of encouragement, there's no need to be so affectionate!
"Thank you for the pass today, that saved me."
But Bell's next words finally made him understand.
So that’s why!
And bringing him bread made sense.
The thank you that Bale said was not a word of comfort, but was referring to the game itself passing the ball to him.
Actually...he really didn't do anything.
Passing the ball to an open teammate when being double-teamed is just a routine operation.
Looking at Bell's grateful eyes, he suddenly felt a little... embarrassed .
He didn't say anything like it was up to you to seize the opportunity.
After eating other people's bread, you have to do something to make yourself feel at ease.
"I have a suggestion, I wonder if you want to hear it."
Bell looked at Sun Hao and nodded seriously.
After playing these two games, Sun Hao has proved what an excellent player he is.
At least, he is definitely much better than Bale.
There must be a reason for a person's success, and the advice given must be useful.
"I think you need to change your training method. You know not everyone can become Michael Jordan. Those who can become him have already shown signs at an early age, such as Kobe, Carter, Iverson and others."
Bell was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had never thought about this question, but he nodded. What Sun Hao said was right.
"So what kind of player you want to be, or what kind of player you can be, is the key factor in determining what you train."
"What kind of player can I be?"
Bell was asking Sun Hao, but it seemed like he was also asking himself.
“3D.”
Sun Hao replied with a smile.
