Chapter 570: 2014~2015 Season Training Camp (Second Update!) )
Shake's five embarrassments are a good adjustment in training, but most of the time, Tang Tian's energy is focused on the training of leaning back.
From the beginning of the practice to the present, including the time of the trip to China, he has trained more than 5,000 times to lean back.
Thanks to his good waist, otherwise he will definitely be wasted after practicing like this.
The good thing about this kind of high-intensity training is that although he can't guarantee enough hits, his skills have come out.
If it continues at this intensity, just like the previous Maddie, wait until Kobe Bryant leans back, and that's a matter of course.
At this time, there was only a week before the Pelicans' training camp for the new season began, and Tang Tian also arrived at the arena early to start preparing for the training camp.
He wasn't the first to come, Davis and Holiday both came early, and both guys were unconvinced when they lost last season, and they were holding back their energy to prove themselves in the new season.
Davis practiced low-post techniques, Holiday practiced three-pointers, and although there were few people, the training content was very targeted.
In addition to them, there is one person, the team's general manager, Demps, who also came.
He came to find Tang Tian.
"Jokic has a buyout fee of 1 million and he weighs 135 kilograms, so our initial plan is to keep him in Serbia for another year and drop the weight by the way."
In order to protect the interests of overseas teams, for overseas players who are still under contract, the upper limit of a buyout fee provided by a team in NBA rules is $500,000, and the players have to pay the rest themselves.
Several of the more well-known players in the NBA, Pau Gasol paid a buyout fee of $1.65 million to Barcelona at the beginning, and Rubio later landed in the NBA because of a buyout fee of up to $3 million.
And the most expensive is Mirotic, who landed with the Bulls this year, and he paid a full $3 million himself.
And the team is not allowed to offset this cost in any form, and if it is found, it will be severely punished.
"Jokic has to come this season, the weight drop here (in the NBA) will be faster, and he will bring irreplaceable help to the team."
Tang Tian said in a firm tone, he was busy training and traveling to China before, but he didn't expect that Demps hadn't finished Jokic's affairs yet.
"I'll talk to him again."
Hearing the firmness in Tang Tian's tone, Demps changed his words.
"If he doesn't have the money, I'll come out, he has to come this season."
Tang Tian emphasized again, if Jokic can't come after tossing for a long time, it will really be a blind toss.
In addition to Jokic, there is also a guaranteed contract signing for Aminou.
The Pelicans didn't prioritize Aminu for a contract extension, and Aminu also tested the free agent market.
As a result, he was almost ignored, and in the end, the Pelicans signed him back with a two-year, $6 million contract with a team option.
This signing is not bad.
Aminu failed to develop three points last season, but if he can practice later, he will be more than enough to play the third or fourth bench.
It's just that this way the team has 15 people on the guaranteed contract, and it will be a bit difficult for Tyler Johnson to stay.
But this is also the NBA, even if it is the 15th man, it is not so contentious.
Training camp is about to begin, and the filming of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is about to start in Los Angeles.
Tang Tian sent Olsen to the crew.
In the crew, Tang Tian saw Yates again, and the two chatted for a while.
As he was talking, he noticed that someone was watching him, and when he turned around, he noticed that Watson was there.
After being discovered by Tang Tian, Watson smiled at him, and then turned around and walked away very calmly.
"She values this sequel."
Yates explained.
Tang Tian nodded, and didn't think much about it.
Returning from the crew, the Pelicans' training camp has officially begun.
Holiday, Tang Tian, Ariza, Davis, Whiteside;
Kerr, Gordon, Morrow, Aminu, Teletovic, Jokic;
Dinwiddie, Evans, Jeff Vichy, Sherved, Taylor Johnson, Tzu Shiping, Patrick Young;
15 guaranteed contracts and 3 non-guaranteed contracts, a total of 18 people all showed up at the training camp.
Last season's defeat left the players unhappy, and they are all looking forward to a comeback in the new season.
It was also in the training camp that Tang Tian met several new signings of the team.
Ariza seemed to be very introverted, but when she saw Tang Tian, she took the initiative to speak.
And the content of the chat is Kobe.
Ariza seemed to be the quintessential problem player in high school and college, and even in the NBA, training lazy, stubborn, and defying coaches......
If it weren't for his physical gifts, it would have been difficult for him to make it in the NBA.
And the person who made him change was Kobe Bryant.
During his time with the Lakers, Ariza was taught by Kobe, who gave him a set of ways to improve his mid-to-long-range shooting and taught him how to become a professional player.
After two years with the Lakers, he completely changed, with a positive approach to training and a completely different attitude towards the game.
It also took him from a problem player to a top 3-and-D player.
Ariza knew that Tang Tian and Kobe Bryant had a good relationship, which brought them a lot closer.
Dinwiddie, who seemed humble, took the initiative to open the door for his teammates, and also offered to help buy donuts and bags for everyone.
This guy is the kind of player who makes people feel comfortable with each other.
Regardless of whether he can play in the future or not, this kind of player will not be bad in the team.
Taylor Tovic, a player with a standard white European personality, loves to laugh, is good at communicating, and works seamlessly with the team.
Jokic, Demps are otherwise average, but they are really efficient.
When training camp opened, Jokic also came.
He's now chubby, and he looks like a moving tower of meat, exactly the same one Gasol Jr. had when he came to the NBA.
He's also from Europe, but he's much shyer than Teletovic, like a big boy.
"Don, thank you, Mr. Demps told me about your willingness to buy me out."
As soon as Jokic came up, he looked for Tang Tian a little shyly.
Tang Tian smiled and reached out to touch Jokic's head.
Temple's words are quite appropriate, which means that he has accepted his younger brother in advance.
Jokic laughed and didn't hide.
Tang Tian felt a burst of joy in his heart.
Davis didn't touch Gordon's head after listening to Gordon last season, and the new Jokic is on top of this gap!
The players were chatting in the locker room, and after a while the door was pushed open.
The team's head coach, Williams, and assistant coach Borrego are both here.
"Guys, our goal for the new season is the championship, let's get started!"
Williams came up with a lot of arrogance and said directly to the players.
Last season, the Pelicans and Grizzlies went to a tiebreaker, while the Grizzlies and Spurs went to a tiebreaker, and the Spurs lost 4-2 to the Heat.
Judging by the results of the matchup and their offseason reinforcements, this season's championship is their goal!
