The atmosphere of this team is really good.

After saying that, Vicky left the locker room first, and the players began to change their clothes one after another.

Budenholzer called the three rookies together and asked them about their jersey numbers.

"No. 50 is David Robinson's, No. 44 is George Gervin's, No. 12 Bruce Bowen, No. 6 Avery Johnson...... These 7 numbers have been retired and cannot be selected, of course, there are these, you can't choose what your teammates already have, and the remaining 0~99 numbers. Budenholzer reminded.

"I'll pick number 5." Corey Joseph spoke.

"Is there any reason? Just ask. Budenholzer looked mild-mannered and said with a smile.

"I used to wear a number 6, but it's retired, so let's go for a number 5." Joseph's reasoning is simpler.

"No. 2 and No. 15 are Bonner's." Leonard spoke.

Budenholzer nodded.

"Godfather, what about yours?" Budenholzer asked with a smile, he really has a more easy-going personality, which is directly called Tang Tian's nickname.

Tang Tian wore No. 12 in Kangda, which has no special meaning, purely because there was a Kangda striker who ran for the election after reading his freshman year, and he didn't wear new clothes, which happened to be used by him, and he has been wearing that number since then.

Most people use their college jersey numbers when they arrive in the NBA, such as Joseph's No. 6 and Leonard's No. 15 at San Diego State University.

"Number 31." Tang Tian thought for a while and said.

"Number 31? You didn't seem to have that number when you were in college? Budenholzer began.

Tang Tian nodded.

"Don, Sean is also number 31." Joseph spoke.

"Sean?"

"Sean Battier."

Joseph's reminder, Tang Tian remembered that his template in the draft was Battier, and the number he chose was the same as him.

"Because of this?" Budenholzer then asked.

"No, just because I was picked on the 31st, it makes a lot of sense." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

The choice of this number is a commemoration of the draft and also reminds him of the release of his pigeons by the Heat.

"K, the jersey will be ready in a week, before that you wear training clothes first, this is according to your size first." Budenholzer said as he gave them a couple of jerseys.

After they all changed their clothes, they followed them to the training gym.

Budenholzer gathered the team together, first had the team run around the field a few laps, and then did more than a dozen sets of suicide drills.

Tang Tian persevered, but he found that none of his teammates had fallen, except for Joseph, who was a little out of breath, everyone else had finished, and it seemed to be relatively relaxed.

This is the gap between the NBA and the NAA, and the physical fitness alone is not an order of magnitude.

Of course, it also has to do with the self-discipline of the Spurs players, many players come back in the offseason for a month or two to get back in shape and fitness, and for those people, the new season will definitely not be easy.

Vicky nodded with satisfaction on the side, this year's shutdown may be a good thing for the Spurs.

After the physical fitness, it was shooting, and shooting coach Ingeld took them to practice.

Tang Tian's quick three-point shooting has adapted to seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and at this time, the shooting rate of the open position is very close to that of the NAA period.

"He's really underrated." Budenholzer said next to Vicky at this time.

"Otherwise, how would I be willing to spend 1 million." Vicky laughs and says he rarely buys draft picks with money.

After the shooting drill, there are passing and dribbling.

Joseph did well in this paragraph.

Vicky and Budenholzer both had smiles on their faces and it was clear that they were happy with the performances of all three rookies this year.

The last event of the training is the full-court confrontation, one group of the starting group, one group of the substitute team, and one group of the bench team, a total of three groups of 15 people.

Blair, Duncan, Jefferson, Green and Parker were the starting group.

Split, Bonner, Leonard, Ginobili and Gary Neil were on the bench.

Eke Diogu, Malcolm Thomas, James Anderson, Tang Tian, Joseph are on the bench.

(Note: The Spurs have a total of 16 players in the preseason, and Mills did not participate in the full-court confrontation due to injury.) ）

The three groups alternate between the full game, with Budenholzer and Vicky on the sidelines to see how they perform.

First of all, the game between the starters and the substitute group, Tang Tian and they watched from the sidelines.

Duncan and Ginobili are both in their thirties, and Parker is also running for three, but they are still the best on the court.

Duncan is still unsolved inside, Parker's breakthrough also makes it difficult for Neal to parry, and the substitute team has various breakthroughs and scorching passes on the bench.

After 10 minutes, the starting group won 20-16.

After a break for a while, it was the game between the bench group and the bench group, the previous game made Ginobili's body warm up, he was almost unstoppable, and the bench group was a little ugly because of the first time they played together, and the biggest highlight was Tang Tian's beautiful misplaced defense of Neil several times.

The bench team won 22-9, with Ginobili scoring 16 points alone.

"Manu is in good shape." Budenholzer couldn't help but sigh.

"He's still young." Vicky spoke.

Budenholzer was amused by Vicky's sneering joke.

However, last season's return to Ginobili as a starter was eye-catching, and it was indeed a second spring.

After a break, the final set of full-court confrontations.

Tang Tian called several people from the bench group together at this time.

"We play pick-and-rolls and cuts offensively, we pull the space out, we can defend 2-3 on the defensive end, Parker doesn't have three points, there are only two preseason games this year, if we don't play well in the training games, we don't have a chance to play in the preseason, and we probably won't have a chance for a season."

After Tang Tian said this, everyone else nodded in unison, there was nothing wrong with what he said, and it also went to their hearts.

Vicky looked at Tang Tian, who was talking to his teammates, with a smile on his lips and a smile on his lips.

Both the starting group and the bench group came on one after another.

The bench group attacked first, Joseph held the ball to the frontcourt, Tang Tian and Anderson opened up space, Diaguti blocked and dismantled, Joseph quickly hit the basket for a layup, and Duncan chased him directly.

Back on the defensive end, Duncan received the ball in the low post and hit Thomas with his back, and easily turned around and hit the board.

It is difficult for the bench group and the substitute group to parry when they play, which is indeed too difficult for them to play with the starting group.

After playing for more than three minutes, the score was already 8-0, and the bench group had not scored too much.

Ginobili couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head as he watched the scene.

But after scratching it twice, he remembered that his hair seemed to be running out, and he unconsciously put it down.
