After returning to Chicago to sort things out, Zhou Si, his family and his team went to Portland again.

Zhou Si will have to live in Portland for a long time.

Compared with the Red University, the equipment and facilities in the Trail Blazers gymnasium are more professional and targeted. Zhou Si, who is favored by his boss, will naturally not waste these resources.

Moreover, Pioneer's ingredients are also of the highest quality. Under the cooking of Zhou Si's father, a "gold medal nutritionist", the rest of Zhou Si's team enjoys the delicious food.

What Zhou Si said?

It is still a nutritious meal that remains unchanged for thousands of years!

Zhou Si has always controlled this aspect very well.

Regarding housing, Ye Qin directly asked Xiao Chen to choose a villa by the lake in the suburbs!

The seller is a Chinese and a die-hard Zhou Si fan!

If Zhou Si hadn't insisted on paying the original price, the owner would have been ready to sell it at a 40% discount!

It’s so crazy!

Zhou Si chose this villa because it was decorated in Chinese style and had training equipment and a basketball court, which fully met his requirements.

In this way, Zhou Si can train happily at home.

In addition to training, Zhou Si's life is not boring. Using this time to spend time with his mother can make up for the regrets in his previous life.

…

"Sister Qin, is there any news about me recently?"

Zhou Si, who sneaked into Ye Qin's house next door for a break during training, asked while facing off against Ye Ze.

"Ah...just wait"

Ye Qin, who was quietly admiring Zhou Si's beauty in his prime, was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the folder and said.

"Besides the news that praises you, there are two.

The first one is about your jersey sales.

According to statistics from the jersey sales platform Fanatics, your jerseys and fan T-shirts have been snapped up in large numbers in the past five days, and the sales volume now exceeds that of the first round picks in 2012 combined."

"Well, I saw a lot of fans wearing my jersey on the streets these two days."

Zhou Si responded with a sudden realization.

"What about Azer? I also saw many fans wearing his jersey."

Ye Qin glanced at his younger brother who was expressionless but was actually looking this way, and said happily:

"His jersey sales are second only to yours, but they also surpass last year's No. 1 pick Anthony Davis during the same period!"

Ye Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and made another three-pointer.

Although he agreed to practice with the ball and singles, Ye Ze still couldn't help but shoot three-pointers.

"Don't be distracted and practice hard!"

Before Zhou Si could speak, Ye Qin immediately reminded Ye Zedao.

In fact, Ye Qin secretly put a lot of thought into this younger brother.

Facing Ye Qin's slightly apologetic look, Zhou Si smiled and spread his hands to indicate that it was okay.

Ye Qin looked at the two people who continued training on the field and continued:

"Another piece of news is that your summer league tickets have been sold by scalpers to an average price of $150!"

Summer league?

Zhou Si thought for a while.

He has already communicated with coach Stotts about the summer league.

Fighting is definitely necessary, the question is how to fight!

Because the Summer League is the last chance for many undrafted rookies and fringe players to work hard for their dreams, so they will work especially hard!

Therefore, the probability of players getting injured is also higher than in the regular season!

For example, Zion Williams, the 2019 No. 1 pick in his previous life, was injured while playing in the summer league and had to rest for several months!

So there is still knowledge in how to fight!

It must be done for the purpose of exercise without getting injured!

After some deliberation, Zhou Si decided to play the opening game against the Magic and the next two games against the Warriors and Lakers!

Everyone in the 13th rookie group "Football for Life" founded by a sultry man who is about to go to bitterly cold Minnesota has already agreed on a unified voice!

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. First of all, you must restrain the Ma Chai in the team and never make any harmful moves!

As a first-round pick, they are sure they can still do this little thing.

"Xiao Si, please go back and rest quickly. We have to formally sign the contract tomorrow."

"Um."

After hearing Ye Qin's reminder, Zhou Si obediently agreed.

Because Ye Ze, the super lightbulb, was present, the two of them would definitely not have any overly intimate actions.

Zhou Si took advantage of Ye Ze not paying attention and pouted at Ye Qin secretly, and then left quickly.

…

The next day, in the Trail Blazers office, as Zhou Si signed the official contract, his system finally changed again.

To be honest, Zhou Si, who is obsessed with training every day, has almost forgotten the system!

"Ding, the main mission has been completed!

Participated in the 2013 NBA draft and was selected as the No. 1 pick and completed the 1/1 contract.

Rewards are being settled..."

"[Reward 1, shock value: 10,000 points]

[Reward 2, Yellow Draw*1]”

Zhou Si did not rush to draw the lottery, but went to check out the new main quest.

"Main mission: Ask the host to become the best defensive player in the 2013-2014 season.

Mission reward: one blue lottery, shock value: 20,000 points."

Best Defensive Player???

Zhou Si was immediately stunned!

Is there any mistake?

Dog system!

You are playing with me!

Before labor and management, the main defense was not to develop in the direction of defensive players, but to win the team!

In fact, what I love most is offense. If you don’t believe me, I will break through and shoot three-pointers for you to see!

But no matter how much Zhou Si shouted, the stupid system didn't respond. Zhou Si wanted to cry but had no tears!

There is no punishment for not completing the task, but as a patient with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder, Zhou Si, who clicks on any unread messages, simply cannot ignore it.

MMP, wouldn’t it be okay if labor and management try it?

Zhou Si seems to have some understanding of the urinary properties of the system!

In that street ball game, Zhou Si didn't want the system to let him go. When it came to the draft, Zhou Si just wanted to enter the NBA system in the top three at will. He was forced to rack his brains to become the "recognized No. 1 pick." And this time Zhou Si thought he could do it easily.

In addition to the main task of becoming the "Best Rookie", the system also assigned him a task of becoming the Best Defensive Player!

If it weren't for the lack of punishment for mission failure, Zhou Si would be really afraid that this system was here to trick him!

Is it easy to be the best defensive player?

It's very difficult in Zhou Si's opinion!

If he becomes the scoring leader, Zhou Si can use the number of shots to stack up, but as the best defensive player, he has to consider many aspects.

The most generally accepted view is that the best defensive player must reduce the shooting percentage of the player he is defending, and also affect the defensive player's mentality, and should not engage in gambling steals.

Therefore, the best defensive players are mostly inside, mainly reflected in rebounds and defensive blocks.

Who was the last perimeter player to win Defensive Player of the Year?

Artest, who was not called Charity World Peace nine years ago!

Moreover, rebounds and blocks are not the only judging criteria.

Defensive statistics plus/minus, defensive efficiency, and style impression are all important!

Because this award is selected by reporters and commentators!

Regarding how to win the best defensive player, Zhou Si felt that he still needed to seek advice from assistant coach Campbell, a defensive guru.

Zhou Si took a long breath and clicked on the yellow lottery to change his mood, and then...

Damn it!!!
