Chapter 52: Lost to the National Team, Summer League

Lin Sen joined the team's training the day after signing the contract. Of course, he held a small behavior press conference first, and Lin Sen also got his No. 17 jersey as he wished.

At this moment, there are young water dispenser players training in the training hall. After all, at this time, do you want those old fried dough sticks to run in the training hall? That is impossible. Even the most self-disciplined James will go on vacation in his busy season just ended. After all, including the Finals, they have played 100 games in the past 8 months.

It just so happens that in the Cavaliers, what type of teammates have the least? That may be a young player. There is even a joke in the free market: Are you not old enough? Are you not bad enough? Sorry, it doesn't meet the Cavaliers' selection requirements, you won't enter the Cavaliers.

So at this time, there are only three players in the huge training hall, Lin Sen, Jordan Cningham and McCree, and these are all players who are estimated to be playing less than 5 minutes per game in the new season.

The end of the finals does not mean there is no game. The Summer League is a good stage for these players. It is a stage for unsigned rookies and some players who have not played in the first and second grades. Lin Sen is naturally one of them.

However, from the first day, Lin Sen was once again forced to accept the new training plan set by the Cavaliers for him, and he had more training on food control intake and strength.

"Lin! I think Wisconsin's physical confrontation training seems to be a little unqualified!" From the eyes of the strength trainer, Lin Sen could clearly see his contempt for his figure.

But Lin Sen just smiled: "Man, if you met me 5 months ago, I would definitely not have such a question."

The days I spent in the Cavaliers training hall were fulfilling. Lin Sen knew that although he could run or jump, he had obvious weaknesses. His goals were very big, so he had to start step by step from a small place. Not to mention Lin Sen, even Towns had already started preparing for the summer league.

Lin Sen had already agreed with Griffin that he would not participate in this summer league and might have to return to China to play the Asian Championships. However, when the list was announced at the end of June and early July, the name Lin Sen did not appear on the 12-man roster of the national team.

Yes, it didn't appear, maybe because of Lin Sen's pick or because of Lin Sen's age. However, obviously, Lin Sen is not involved in the Asian Championships in Changsha, China, and he naturally has enough time to participate in the summer league.

The Basketball Association did not issue any announcement regarding Lin Sen's failure to be selected, but it caused widespread speculation in the Hupu.

Some people believe that Lin Sen is not qualified. Although he was selected for the Cavaliers and signed a one-year contract, how many second-round picks can stay in the league for many years? The NBA second-round picks are not necessarily stronger in terms of combat effectiveness than the inside players selected by the national team. After all, rookies are very young and have more talent than in terms of combat effectiveness.

Some people also believe that this is the improvement of the Chinese Basketball Association for the past. Yao Ming may be the best basketball player in Chinese history because of the dual-front battle between the national team and the NBA. He ended his basketball career at the age of 31, which is definitely a huge loss for Chinese basketball.

But this is not a small competition. The Asian Championships are related to tickets to the 2016 Olympic Games. Chinese fans do not want the 2013 Waterloo to repeat. However, the domestic troubles did not affect Lin Sen's training.

He is very peaceful, if he is not selected, then he will not be selected! The strength training of the Cavaliers is very effective for him, and he also hopes to spend more time evolving his strength, not to mention the summer league. One of the main reasons why he wanted to join the national team was that he felt that as a MOP, he must have a foothold in the NBA, but the reality is cruel. As a second round, he suddenly felt that he really had to play in this summer league.

The NBA's summer league is also very different. It will hold independent summer leagues in many cities, such as the Orlando Summer League. Time: July 5-11, participating teams: Brooklyn Nets, Memphis Grizzlies, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Magic Whites and Magic Blues.

For example, the Utah Summer League July 7-10. Participating teams: Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, and Utah Jazz.

There are even some national teams participating, such as the Chinese national team has played in the summer league, but the record is relatively poor. However, there is one place where summer leagues are held every year, that is, Las Vegas, and the participating teams are not the same as before. They have a relatively sound competition system. Almost 80% of NBA teams will participate, and the Cavaliers are one of them.

A total of 24 teams participated in the Las Vegas Summer League, including 14 playoff teams last season (Bucks, Pelicans, Hawks, Rockets, Raptors, Warriors, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Wizards, Celtics, Trail Blazers, Nets, Spurs, Bulls), 9 lotto teams (Nuggets, Kings, Timberwolves, Lakers, Suns, Knicks, 76ers, Jazz, Heat) and an NBA Development League team. Each team will play three games between July 11 and 15, and then enter the knockout stage starting on the 15th according to the ranking, and the final will be held on the 21st. Each team will play at least 5 games.

The Cavaliers' lineup is not strong. You should know that this year the Cavaliers have traded their first round picks. This time, except for Linson, Jordan Crawford and McCrae, three players who have contracts in the Cavaliers themselves, basically all of them are players who have not yet obtained contracts. There is still another position in the 15-man roster of the Cavaliers lineup, and this position is likely to appear in the Summer League next.

As a strength trainer, Paloris became the leader of the Cavaliers this time. The reason why he was very simple is that even when he came to Las Vegas, Linsen's strength training was still not let go. Blatt is a famous European coach. He has no prejudice against international players. On the contrary, he likes Linsen very much. Not only James, he also recommended Linsen, otherwise the Cavaliers management would not be so easy to submit.
