Half a month passed quickly, because the training camps of their respective teams were opened one after another, and the training camps of several of them were also over.

"Klay, can you make the playoffs this year?"

Tang Tian laughed and teased Thompson.

Last offseason, Thompson vowed to help the team reach the playoffs, but in the end, the Warriors went home early to fish.

"See you in the playoffs."

Thompson's answer was crisp.

It can be seen that he has not been to a nightclub for an offseason, and his self-confidence is even more explosive than last season.

Walker didn't say anything at this time, and it will be difficult for his Bobcats to make the playoffs next season.

"Kemba, try to help the team win 20 more wins, I am optimistic that you will score 20 points in the new season."

Tang Tian smiled and patted Walker's shoulder.

Walker smiled and stretched out his hand and bumped fists with Tang Tian, which could be regarded as reaching an agreement between brothers.

"I'm going to help the team get to the finals."

Without waiting for Tang Tian to speak, Butler said directly.

Whew!

This sentence startled several other people.

Butler didn't even play time last season, and this new season is thinking about making it to the Finals?

Tang Tian didn't say anything, just gave Butler a thumbs up.

It's a good thing to have a high spirit.

Walker's expression was a little complicated at this time.

He used to be this kind of high-spirited player, but after playing for a season in the Bobcats, no matter how high his spirit was, it was exhausted.

But when I saw Butler at this time, the arrogance in my bones was also aroused.

Butler can think so, why can't he?!

"Don, I've changed my mind, I'm going to help the Bobcats make the playoffs, and if it doesn't work this season, next season! If it doesn't work next season, next season! ”

When Tang Tian heard what Walker said, he laughed and beat his chest.

Is this the Kemba Walker he knows?

"Jeremy, be patient, mentality is important, be patient and do your best, the opportunity will come sooner or later."

Tang Tian didn't forget to say to Lamb.

Lamb's words are the one who is most susceptible to his own mentality.

Lamb nodded, although it had been more than a year, it was Tang Tian who helped him break through himself, and he would always remember this incident.

"The same goes for you."

Tang Tian took one last look at Drummond.

"Guys, I'm going to get my second championship."

In the end, Tang Tian took the lead in the tone of a big brother.

Forced, still have to pretend.

But he was greeted by a burst of white eyes and envy.

Being able to be on the stage of the finals from the beginning is not something that everyone can get.

It's like climbing high and looking far away, you don't reach that height, you can never see the scenery at that height.

The day before the Spurs training camp opened, Tang Tian flew to San Antonio.

Early the next morning, Tang Tian entered from the door of the stadium, and before he reached the locker room, he saw Popovich sitting at the door shining his shoes.

"The old man came on the first day?"

Tang Tian smiled and sat down next to Popovich.

"If I stay at home any longer, I'll almost forget how to draw tactics."

Popovich said seriously.

yes, it's still such a skinny old man.

Budenholzer came a little later, saw Popovich shining his shoes there, and sat down to talk about work.

Tang Tian didn't disturb them, got up and went back to the locker room first.

There was no one in the locker room, and he was the first to come.

The first thing I saw was the proverb that beats the rock.

But no one bothered with it for one season, and there was some dust on it.

He found a towel and wiped it off.

After wiping, it brightens up a lot and becomes more conspicuous.

When he was done, he walked over to his closet.

Novak's sign on the wardrobe has been replaced by his name.

Tang Tian, pinyin.

He started changing his training clothes.

"Don, you're so early."

The next day came to the locker room was Leonard.

I haven't seen him in an offseason, and he looks a lot more cheerful than before.

"A few minutes before you."

Tang Tian responded with a smile.

Leonard's personality was formed by his experiences as a child, which is not the same as his natural character.

Tang Tian's help, including the atmosphere of the Spurs, is making his character develop in a better direction little by little.

"You two guys, did you come so early to slap Bobo's ass?"

The third person who came was a little surprised, it turned out to be Ginobili.

"Hey, Manu."

Tang Tian smiled and went to hug Ginobili.

He and Ginobili hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had eaten out together during the Olympics.

After Ginobili, Green, Duncan, Parker and other players came one after another.

Before training began, the whole team arrived.

All of them were on the first day of training camp, which is relatively rare in the league.

This kind of team atmosphere is also the envy of many teams.

The Spurs have basically no changes in the roster this summer, the starters and rotations are basically all there, and even the bench has not changed much.

The only change was that Thomas and Diogu were gone, and De Colo and Baines were gone.

Nando De Colo, the starting scoring guard of the French national team, was selected by the Spurs in the second round in '09.

A typical white European defender, 1.96 meters tall, passes and shoots well, but the confrontation is relatively poor.

Aaron Baines, the main center forward of the New Zealand national team, is a typical Australian big man who looks quite tough.

United States, France, China, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand......

The 15-man roster of the Spurs is really available from all over the world, a standard international team.

Ginobili teased the two newcomers as before, and when Budenholzer came to greet them, the group all got up and left the locker room.

There is a long passage from the locker room to the training hall.

In the middle of the passage is the team's showroom.

Including the trophies that were just won last season, there are five in total, all of which are on display.

The display shelves are made of bulletproof glass, and they are locked, and the protection measures are quite in place.

That's probably why every NBA team kisses the trophy like crazy after they win the championship.

Because in the future, it is estimated that you will only be able to see it through the glass.

However, the players all stopped and stared at the trophy.

The trophy has the words 2011~2012 written on it, and for them, these represent the glory of the past whole season.

Popovich and Budenholzer were at the back of the line.

Seeing that the players were all looking at the trophy in a daze, Popovich walked over and shouted with a smile.

"Don't look at that, there's going to be a sixth one next year."

When Popovich said this, the players immediately burst into laughter and walked forward one after another.

This year, the Heat have strengthened significantly, the Thunder have become more mature than last year, and the Clippers have signed Jamal Crawford, the former sixth man of the year......

All of their competitors have gotten stronger, but their lineup has basically not changed, and it will be very difficult to defend their title.

And to be honest, although the Spurs have won 5 championships in 15 years, they have never done such a thing as defending the title.

But even then, Popovich seems to be confident about the new season.
