Time flies quickly, and Joni has to come out of a small town that looks a bit like a paradise, and he is going to participate in the Summer League.
Although Joni didn't want to participate in this summer league, he felt that it was a waste of time to participate in this informal game, Jimmy Adams and Anfini Hardaway called him, and they both said that it would be good for him to participate in the summer league. Joni came out of Lockwood and rushed directly to Orlando.
Joni stayed in Orlando for a few days, because the team had already gathered, so he set out to the venue of the summer league, Long Beach, California.
And in this team, Joni also saw an acquaintance, Amal McCasgill, who was his teammate at the Chicago training camp.
Amal McCasgill saw Jonny again, and his mood was very complicated. When he first met Jonny in Chicago, McCasgill was very disdainful of this training camp teammate. He even felt that he had been in trouble for eight lifetimes and would have become such a teammate who was not famous or perhaps not capable.
But, they played the first game together, of course, in the last game. Joni was the best among the five of them, and Anthony Walker, who was highly valued by him, was the worst among all. After being eliminated in the first round of the training camp game, they never met again.
Immediately afterwards, the Magic selected Jonny in the first round, which surprised McCasgill because he had already received the Magic's draft promise. Next, he is likely to be Jonny's teammate, and what happened next also confirmed all this.
McCasgill found himself becoming Jonny's teammate, a player he had looked down upon, was selected by the same team in front of him, and he received more salary.
Of course, McCasgill adjusted well. After seeing Jonny, he became very enthusiastic and didn't look down on Jonny at all.
Of course, Joni didn't hit the smiley person, and was very enthusiastic about McCasgill. The two of them became the best relationship in the team now.
In this team that competes in the summer league, there are a few people who hold the Magic's guarantee contract, like Jonny and McCasgill. Darrell Armstrong, who is a third-year student this year, is a point guard; Brian Evans, who was originally the player the Magic was about to choose, but because of Jonny's emergence, Brian Evans was finally selected in the second round and was then cut off, joining the Magic, and his position is a small forward; David Vaughan, the first-round rookie chosen by the Magic last year, is a power forward; Clifford Rockell, a third-year student who was cut by the Warriors, has performed 7 points and 7 rebounds in the rookie season, but because of injury, he has been abandoned by the Warriors and signed a basic salary contract with the Magic this summer.
In addition to these players, the other players are all rookies and league marginal players. Players with contracts are naturally the players focused on training by the Magic, and there are no players who overlap with Jonny's position among these players, so Jonny's position as the starting shooting guard is still very stable.
Arriving in Long Beach, California, the Magic players chose the jersey under the guidance of the coach. Joni chose the ball over and over and over and chose a number 27, which is the number he selected by the Magic. McCasgill saw this and finally chose a number 20, which is also the number that the Magic chose him. The Magic selected him with the 20th pick in the second round.
This time the Magic led the team to participate in the summer league was not Magic's head coach Brian Hill, but the team's assistant coach Richi Adubatu.
Adubatu smiled at Joni kindly, then clapped his hands and let the players gather together.
"This year's summer league is held in Long Beach, California. We will play 5 games. The opponents in these five games are the 76ers, the Miwolki Bucks, the Chinese national team, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. We have no tactics in the summer league. We can just cooperate freely and play outstanding data and record." Adubatu spoke quickly, and then let the players train freely.
Joni thought about the schedule Adubatu mentioned just now, the 76ers? It seems that the team where the No. 1 pick is, right? And the Chinese national team? Joni's face was a little strange when he heard this name, and the Los Angeles Lakers, the hateful Kupchek, and the weird Kobe Bryant.
Joni felt that training was boring, and the whole team seemed to have no opponents. Because Adubatu did not arrange tactics and other training courses, they were playing relaxed in-team competitions, and Joni found that there was really no opponent in this team.
The shooting guard or small forward who has been replaced in this team cannot defend against Jonny's breakthrough. Now Jonny is on the main team wearing a main vest. The starting point guard is Darrell Armstrong, and the starting shooting guard is naturally Jonny. The starting small forward is Brian Evans, the starting power forward is David Vaughan, and Amal McCasgill plays the starting center.
The starting shooting guard of the substitute is Jabarican, a white shooting guard who is good at shooting three-pointers, but his defense is a bit poor. Facing Joni's European steps, he can only watch Joni rush to the inside again and again. So the substitute quickly changed defense. The strong small forward Mark Henry defended Joni, but still couldn't defend.
In the end, Adubatu on the sideline saw Joni rushing into the inside of the substitute team again and again with skilled European steps, and then scored. Adubatu was very satisfied with such a Joni and thought to himself: It seems that this is another successful choice for John!
Darrell Armstrong also feels comfortable with Joni's style of play. Because Joni keeps breaking through, the substitute's defense focus is on Joni. As a result, Darrell Armstrong gets a lot of opportunities, and his cooperation time and time has made him and Joni become more familiar with him.
The boring training passed quickly. Joni got off the court sweating profusely and went directly to the bathroom of the stadium to take a shower. The environment of the stadium rented by Magic in Long Beach was still very good, at least there was no shortage of hot water in the bathroom.
Darrell Armstrong and Amal McCasgill also walked in. McCasgill greeted Joni, and then stood beside Joni with a smile to take a shower. Armstrong stood quietly in the shower opposite him and was thinking about how to say hello to Joni.
Seeing McCasgill standing next to him, Jonny couldn't help but hide.
This made McCasgill laugh: "Haha, Joni, I'm not a rabbit, you don't have to be afraid!"
Joni curled his lips: "Who knows?"
At this time, Darrell Armstrong felt that he could interrupt. He said nervously in his heart: "Yes, who knows? But Amal is so tall, I think he has to squat down!"
And this nervous words caused Joni and McCasgill to laugh wildly. This little man was so interesting that he actually had such a rich association.
"That's right, so Darrell, your suspicion is the greatest, because you don't need to squat down at all!" McCasgill gasped for a smile.
Joni couldn't help laughing too.
