Yi Jianlian was busy designing sneakers, and the time was almost September, and the closed training camps of NBA teams began one after another.

This year, many teams have undergone a major change, which has also led to the closed training camp of many teams much earlier than in previous years, such as the Magic team started the closed training camp on September 7, and the Cavaliers also opened the closed training camp on September 10.

Hammond saw that the other teams were taking action, discussed it with Xiao K, and decided to start closed training early.

September 12th.

The day when the Bucks were fully covered.

Crawford and Channingfrye are not inhibited from entering the team, firstly, they have been playing in this league for so many years, and their current teammates have more or less met a few times, and secondly, they have been training with Yi Jianlian and Mo Williams for a month. Knowing the boss is equivalent to getting to know all your teammates.

Yi Jianlian also met two of this year's rookies, Tygibson and Danny Green.

Although Mason is gone, the custom of "bullying" rookies cannot be lost, and it happened to be Mo Williams' birthday, and Yi Jianlian asked the two little newcomers to sing happy birthday songs.

Williams Mo: ??? How did I not know my birthday.

After singing the birthday song, everyone will be harmonious.

When the teams opened closed training camps one after another, they took an off-season, and the various sports websites that were so idle began to get busy.

First, Sports Illustrated began to update the player power rankings.

This is the ranking that Sports Illustrated does every year, starting from the bottom dozen, and updating it for almost a month, updating ten rankings every day, until the last day when the league's top 10 are announced.

Playing this kind of ranking like them, there is also "ESPN".

Of course, these are the two most influential lists, and they are also the two lists that fans are more concerned about. Other websites also do similar rankings, but because they are not authoritative enough, they have not attracted much attention.

Among the ten players announced on the first day, there was a player known to Yi Jianlian unexpectedly - Sun Yue.

Sun Yue, who was abandoned by the Lakers this year, re-signed with the New York Knicks and stayed in the NBA, but this did not change Sports Illustrated's disfavor of him.

It is worth mentioning that local newspapers in Los Angeles also called the signing of Sun Yue "the worst signing in the history of the Lakers".

Obviously, Sun Yue's growth did not meet their expectations, not even the minimum standards.

For Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian really has nothing to say, when they were training together last summer, he and Zhu Fangyu were very unserious, they were purely playing soy sauce.

In addition to the player power rankings, ESPN also announced the power rankings of 30 teams for the new season: the Bucks are in sixth place in the overall list, ahead of them are the defending champion Lakers, the Cavaliers who traded O'Neal, the Magic team with the new "OK combination", and the Spurs and Nuggets.

The Celtics are in seventh place, and the "Big Three", which is a year older, has further reduced the competitiveness of the Celtics.

The most unhappy with this ranking are, of course, Celtic fans, who don't think they can have six teams ahead of them.

"Wait and see! Time will tell! ”

Milwaukee fans don't think that the Bucks' ranking is high or low, compared to this ranking, they are more concerned about the player power rankings, and they all want to see how many positions Yi Jianlian, Milwaukee's future, can rank.

It's just that the list has just begun to be announced, and they will have to wait for at least more than 20 days to know Yi Jianlian's ranking, and maybe they will get the last day.

Based on Yi Jianlian's MVP-level performance last season, it's not too much to rank among the top ten in the league, right?

After a week of acclimatization, the Bucks entered a formal tactical run-in period.

Jr. continued to adjust the lineup, and finally decided on the starting lineup of the Bucks: Mo Williams, Courtney Lee, Yi Jianlian, Channing Frye and Bogut.

Well, it was just that Ilyasova was removed and replaced with Chaninfrey.

No way, Channingflye is a high-profile version of Ilyasova, since there is a high-profile version, then why use Ilyasova?

The only thing that Xiao K is entangled in is Ty Gibson, this newcomer impresses him too much, is very energetic, and is an object that can be cultivated.

But in the end, he is still just a rookie, or put it in the second team to hone first, and when he matures a little more, there is no rush for him to compete with Channing Fry for the starter.

Jamal's offensive ability with the ball also makes Xiao K look very hot, and his jumping step with the dribble behind his back can't even stop Courtney Lee, and he is definitely capable of becoming a starter.

However, his requirements for the ball are too high, and he occupies Yi Jianlian's right to shoot too much in the starting lineup, and he is paired with Mo Williams, and the defense of the two people is really unwatchable, I am afraid that it is worse than the backcourt of Mo Williams and Michael Reed.

The most suitable person is still the sixth person.

Hammond told Jamal Crawford when he traded him over that he was mentally prepared, and after Xiao K promised him the right to shoot in the second team, he agreed without any worries.

For Crawford, there is no difference between starting and coming off the bench, as long as he can be given the opportunity to attack, then he will have no problem no matter what he plays.

After the lineup was distributed, the training began, just like last year, Xiao K let them run tactics first, and at the same time, there was also individual targeted training.

After about a week of training, Xiao K discovered a strange thing, Yi Jianlian has been communicating with the rookie Danny Green, who was just selected this year, and seems to be giving the latter some advice.

Does this little newcomer like Yi Jianlian so much?

K Jr. remembers that Courtney Lee didn't have such treatment when he first joined the Bucks last year.

There's nothing eye-catching about this guy, huh?

Little K thought back to Danny Green's body side report, and felt more and more strange.

Yi...... I really didn't expect the Bucks to pick Danny Green in the draft!

When did Hammond's vision change so well?

Hammond: Actually, I don't have a choice, who made you play so well last season and cause us to sign so low.

Tsundere face~

Danny Green, one of the best "3D players" in the "small ball era", is also a model of grassroots players' counterattack.

Although Yi Jianlian is not Popovich, he knows the "backward push method", Danny Green is finally famous in the league for his three-point shooting and defense, so now as long as he practices defense and three-point shooting, he will naturally get up in the future.

Yi Jianlian has been giving Danny Green advice on defense and three-point practice in the past two days, and the latter also agrees with what Yi Jianlian said, and the entire training direction has gradually changed to the direction of three-point and defense.

Danny Green wasted a few years with the Cavaliers, and it wasn't until he entered the Spurs that he found his niche with the help of Popovich.

This time he was lucky, as soon as he came up, he had Yi Jianlian's suggestion, in Yi Jianlian's opinion, he should be able to become stronger than the original him, after all, he didn't waste time this time, and he took the most correct path as soon as he entered the alliance.
