Chapter 183: Change

Before the makeup photo shoot, the players started the first training camp of the training camp.

On the day of the training camp, Wang came to the stadium early tomorrow, and he wanted to see who the first person to come to the stadium to exercise in the new season was.

He was disappointed by the fact that he was a fringe player he couldn't name, who only signed a training camp contract with the 76ers and could be cut at any time before the season began, and at no cost.

The official players of the 76ers swayed around and entered the court one after another at ten o'clock in the morning.

This made Wang Mingming's face very bad and he was a little dissatisfied.

As the so-called "new season and new atmosphere", the first day was scattered like this, and you can imagine how wild these guys must be in the offseason.

Sure enough, before the start of the season, everyone had excessive fat content.

Wang Mingming squinted his eyes, looked at everyone, and didn't say anything.

But the head coach was majestic, he didn't say a word, but made everyone tremble.

Iverson is already good, probably because he is not fat, and the fat content on his body is not high at all.

But Iverson was in a poor mental state and looked sluggish.

"Proud soldiers, proud soldiers." Wang Ming sighed in his heart, I am afraid that every defending champion will encounter a situation like this.

He doesn't know how teams such as the Spurs and Lakers solve this problem, or do they not take the initiative to solve it at all and let it develop freely?

Wang Mingming held the planner in his hand, looked at the players on the field, and fell into deep thought.

The 76ers practiced for two days and took makeup photos for the media.

Then, it was time for the pre-season to begin.

In the preseason, the 76ers had a whopping 20 players on the roster, and only 15 players were able to stay on the roster in the end, so five players would definitely be eliminated.

Everyone wants to show their quality in front of the coach.

In this year's preseason game for the 76ers, the league has arranged five international stops, including three stops in China, namely Taiwan, Shanghai and Beijing, one stop in Malaysia and one stop in Singapore.

Wang will have a hard journey tomorrow, and he will fly to the East for the preseason game.

In addition to the Rockets, there are also Lakers and Suns, both of whom are super popular teams in China.

Yao Ming smiled bitterly and met his teacher.

After the five international preseason games are played, the 76ers return to the United States, and finally start a serious trade in the summer. A small trade that didn't cause much of a stir in the NBA, and didn't even make a splash.

The 76ers sent Marc Gasol to complete a trade with the Grizzlies, acquiring Kyle Lowry, the Grizzlies' backup point guard, from the Grizzlies.

The trade of the defending champions made the fans who followed this team look a little sideways, and when they saw that the object of the trade was two substitutes, they immediately lacked interest.

It's just that the Gasol brothers are slightly unhappy.

originally thought that the 76ers had waited for Marc Gasol for so long and really wanted to get Marc Gasol to play, but they didn't expect to sell Marc Gasol in exchange for a young point guard.

If you only look at the pick, Lowry was the 24th pick in the first round, and he played well in the first two seasons, which is remarkable, and it is a little higher than the trade value of Marc Gasol. But Marc Gasol has performed well in the international arena and is a rare excellent interior seedling in the league, talented and tough, so the Grizzlies are not at a loss.

But in this way, Marc Gasol spared a circle and returned to Memphis, the place where he used to go to middle school, the place where his brother had fought and failed.

Pau Gasol can't help but lament the impermanence of the world.

After the final two games of the preseason, Wang met with members of the coaching staff tomorrow to determine the final list of personnel to remain.

Point guards: Kyle Lowry, Royer Ivey

Shooting guards: Allen Iverson, Willie Green, Saab Saflosa, Karim Rush

Small forwards: Andre Iguodala, Kyle Korver

Power forwards: Pau Gasol, Paul Millsap, Luis Armondsson

Centres: Bowler, DeAndre Jordan, Theo Ratliff

Michael Petrus, who was clamoring for him, eventually switched to the Orlando Magic because the 76ers could not guarantee enough playing time.

The team only has 14 players left, and the last 1 place is reserved to see if there are any suitable veterans to fill in the end.

In terms of the overall lineup, it is slightly inferior to last year, which makes Wang a little worried, especially for players like Durham Porter who indulged themselves in the offseason, and he is even more dissatisfied.

Yes, as soon as the training camp officially began, Wang found out tomorrow that Daimpoter had regressed too much.

It stands to reason that Durham Porter is 27 years old, the golden peak of the player, even if the strength does not grow, it should still be flat, but Damham Porter's new season rating is only 77, which is 2 points lower than when he started last season.

Iverson is still the highest rated on the team, but he only has a rating of 87, which is a significant decline.

In addition, Pau Gasol has a rating of 87, Iguodala has a rating of 85, and Paul Millsap has a rating of 85, and several key players before the game have maintained their ratings at an All-Star level.

Apart from these four, there are no players with more than 80 ratings.

However, there are quite a few players between 75 and 80, such as Korver, Green, Saflosa, Ivey and others are in this rating range.

The lowest rated was rookie DeAndre Jordan, who only had a 57 rating before training camp began.

However, DeAndre Jordan has improved rapidly, and after being exposed to NBA-level training, he quickly cashed in on his talent, and his strength soon exceeded 60, and now he has a rating of 63.

The lineup is still very balanced, but Wang Ming always feels that something is missing.

Before the start of the new season, the first phase of the team's combat strength was officially announced.

As a result, the 76ers are still the first in the league with the first offensive and fourth in defense, and they are in first place in the league's record rankings, followed by the Celtics, Spurs and Lakers.

ESPN's pre-season prediction that the 76ers have a good chance of defending their title this season.

"The East is basically the 76ers and the Celtics two teams competition, the two teams will not encounter too much difficulty before the East finals, this season, the 76ers have maintained the original championship lineup, and the Celtics have introduced some fresh blood, both teams have a chance to beat each other, the key is to see who maintains a better state this season."

In the past, ESPN was all about sarcastic king tomorrow and looking down on the 76ers.

But after the 76ers won the championship, this kind of slanting wind was stopped, and even before the start of this season, ESPN began to sing praises to the 76ers, which was really the first time in the world.
