During the Dream Team's training camp, there was good news from the Lakers.

This year's Summer League was held in three locations, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Rocky Hill in Denver.

DJ White played in the summer league of Rocky Hill and performed very well, averaging 18.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 blocks per game.

Yang Rui didn't expect White to be so strong, he was chosen because he was familiar, and later he played in the Chinese CBA, and he was accurate in the middle of the shot, and he could also grab rebounds, much like the Mavericks' backup power forward Brandon Buss last season.

WHITE IS 206CM TALL AND WEIGHS 114 KILOGRAMS, HAS ENOUGH IMPACT, NIMBLE FEET, AND BOUNCES. The disadvantages are that he is short in height, relies on jump shots for offense, has average low-post skills, and has empty weight but is not good at attacking the basket.

In his final year of college, White was named the Big Ten League Player of the Year and, along with teammate Eric Gordon, was named to the Big Ten League All-America Team and the All-American Second Team.

White fell to the end of the first round because of age, he is 22 years old, he has played 4 years in college, and his skills are basically finalized. Gordon entered the draft after only one year and finished in the top 10.

In Yang Rui's previous life, White was a very unlucky player, selected by the Pistons with the 29th pick in the first round, was traded to the SuperSonics on the same day, was found to have a benign tumor in his jaw during the preseason, was found late, had to undergo surgery, and missed almost all games in his rookie season.

On April 5, 2009, against the Pacers, White made his debut for the renamed Thunder. In his rookie season, he played in a total of seven games for the Thunder, averaging 8.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. I haven't trained for more than half a year, and it's already good to be able to play this statistic.

Even more unfortunate was the 2009-10 season, when White suffered a broken finger after just eight appearances, making just 19 appearances in his first two seasons with the Thunder.

White was traded to the Bobcats in mid-2011 and averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 24 games. In the 2011-12 season, White was a starter for the Bobcats, playing in 58 games, averaging 6.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.

After the summer league, when the Lakers were ready to sign White to a four-year contract, Yang Rui called Kupchak and suggested that the team doctor give White a detailed examination, especially his chin.

"Check your chin? HY？ "Kupchak thought he was joking." Is there a player who plays with his chin? ”

Yang Ruizheng said: "I know a person who has jaw cancer, White's jaw is swollen and too similar to him, check it out, be prepared, anyway, it's not troublesome, if there is a disease, treat it early." ”

Kupchak didn't believe it, but the next day he still asked the team doctor to check on White, just like Yang Rui said, be prepared.

When the results came out, Kupchak was stunned, White really had a benign tumor in his jaw, but fortunately it was detected early, and only a minor surgery was needed to remove it.

In Yang Rui's previous life, White thought it was inflammation and didn't take it seriously, and didn't take it seriously until early October, when his jaw hurt badly, it was not a minor operation that could solve it, and the doctor transplanted part of White's hip bone into his chin to complete the repair, and he rested for nearly half a year, not to mention playing ball, it was difficult to eat.

White signed with the Lakers first, and then surgery will take place in Los Angeles. After White heard the truth from the manager, he called Yang Rui and thanked him a thousand times, now it is a benign tumor, and there is a possibility of malignant transformation in the future, Yang Rui simply saved his life.

Yang Rui smiled: "You're welcome, the surgery is intact and you can recuperate, and when you recover, you will take the time to practice shooting, strive to increase the range, and it is best to shoot three points on both sides, and you will have a chance to perform in the new season." ”

After hanging up the phone, Yang Rui was full of a sense of accomplishment, he believed that White's career would change, and if he practiced shooting well and played blocking and dismantling with his size, even if he couldn't compare to Millsap, he wouldn't be much worse than Landry.

On July 20, the Dream Team went to Las Vegas for training, and the media hype was so great that there were reporters squatting every day, trying to dig up big news.

The atmosphere of the training camp is relaxed and a combination of work and rest. After training, everyone can still go out and play, there is no restriction on freedom, as long as you don't go too far, and gamble all night.

Some reporters just wanted to photograph the superstars' addiction to gambling and the ugliness of women, but the players all had a sense of mission and self-discipline this time, which disappointed the paparazzi.

At the end of July, everyone left the United States for an international challenge in Macau as a warm-up, and the energetic players finally couldn't hold back.

Despite the tight schedule, some of the players did not forget to take advantage of the limited rest time to relax, and on the evening of the second day of their arrival in Macao, they set out to enjoy the nightlife of Macau.

James, Anthony, and Wade were photographed by reporters going to the sauna together, and some media named the three Yepu superstars as the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust".

It is understood that in addition to providing massage services, the "order" bathroom can also select a "technician" through the reflective glass, charging about 1,500 yuan for an hour and a half. James, Anthony and Wade were clearly prepared, picking out what was described as "good service" and a female technician from Vietnam to be in charge of the "massage".

About two hours later, they left the bathroom and returned to the hotel, looking more tired than playing a ball game. It wasn't until the hotel staff arranged it that he got up listlessly and returned to his room.

Some media in the United States immediately questioned it, believing that it was difficult for players to regain the Olympic gold medal with this attitude, and Yang Rui was also lying on the gun, and some people thought that the Dream 8 team needed to be managed with an iron fist, and as the head coach, he gave the players too much freedom.

In the final analysis, it is the American team that has been losing for the past few years, and many people have lost confidence in them.

Yang Rui was interviewed by TNT Radio in the hotel, assuring: "Don't worry, even if they really have soft feet as the news says, I have a way to win the championship, there are 12 people in the Dream Eight team, three people go to massage is not a problem, and there are nine energetic people." ”

The reporter asked: "Will you hide the three of them at the Olympics?" ”

Yang Rui shook his head: "Of course not, when the game starts, they will definitely replenish their physical strength." Fans have to believe in their physicality. ”

Yang Rui took this as a joke, and the fans didn't say anything, black players are like this, prostitution and illegitimate children are commonplace, and it is impossible to completely eradicate it.

When they get older, they will naturally become more restrained, such as when Wade was sued by his wife in court and Flash became a sexually transmitted disease man......

This Dream Eight team is star-studded, Yang Rui doesn't know how to lose, and all the warm-up games are easily won.

Center: Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh.

Power forwards: Amare Stoudayre, Carmelo Anthony.

Small forwards: LeBron James, Tayshayn Prince.

Shooting guards: Wade, Kobe, Joe Johnson.

Point guards: Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups.

The lineup has changed a bit from Yang Rui's previous life, with Michael Reed, Deron Williams, and Boozer being excluded from the 30-man selection list, adding three more powerful.

In particular, a player of Stadameyer's style can shoot and cut in the air, and there is basically no solution in the international arena.

Xiao Si didn't make the playoffs after being traded to the Knicks, and after more than two months of rest, he was full of energy and nowhere to go, and he wanted to go to the Olympics to dunk and vent.

Yang Rui's goal is not only to win, but also to win!
