Chapter 289: New Season Goals
Point guards: Mike Bibby, Chauncey Billups, Steve Kerr;
Shooting guards: Tracy McGrady, Manuginobili, Michael Reed;
Small forward: Sean Marion;
Power forwards: Sharif Abdulahim, Wang Zhizhi;
Centre-forwards: Patrick Ewing, Rasione Estelovic, Jamal Magloyle.
The above is the Grizzlies' roster before the start of the preseason training camp, with a total of 12 players.
In addition to those 12 players, there are five players with training camp contracts with the Grizzlies.
Including swingman Stephen Jackson, guard Damon Jones, forward Grant Lang, forward Ruben Giles and center Jack Worth Curle, three of the five can be left, and at present, Stephen Jackson and Damon Jones are ahead of the other three, basically locking up two spots.
Among them, Stephen Jackson's appearance was a surprise, even Qiao Hai forgot that the famous martial arts saint was actually still messing with the US CBA and European basketball, and the Grizzlies' scouts dug up Stephen Jackson from the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) and invited Stephen Jackson to participate in the Los Angeles Summer League, and as a result, Stephen Jackson performed well and was able to stay on the team.
When Joe saw the name Stephen Jackson, he knew that the bench problem at the small forward position was solved.
As long as Stephen Jackson is signed, the Grizzlies' roster will become 13 people, and it doesn't matter whether the remaining 4 training camp players stay, anyway, 13 people are enough, and if there is a shortage of people, they can sign people temporarily.
But then in the Las Vegas Summer League, Damon Jones exploded, scoring three or four three-pointers per game.
Regarding the name Damon Jones, Qiao Hai felt familiar, and if you think about it carefully, when Little Emperor LeBron James first entered the league, Damon Jones seemed to be one of the royal guards around the Little Emperor, who could shoot three points and take the blame.
Therefore, Damon Jones is also likely to stay on the team.
This is the 14-man squad, and the remaining three, whoever performs well will have a chance to stay.
Before the start of the pre-season training camp, Qiao Hai prepared the training plan of each player, and by the way, took out the inventory in the system and used it.
"Best Sixth Man Promotion Card, usage requirements, the position of the target is the sixth person, has won or has won the best sixth person award, and the potential value must be higher than 75 points."
"Effect: After use, the total rating of the player remains unchanged, the attributes are re-planned, the important attributes are improved, and the non-important attributes are weakened ......"
Best Sixth Man Boosting Card, this card is custom-made for Manuginobili, naturally given to Manu Ginobili.
With a ding, the system prompts that the use is successful.
"Ding, success with the best sixth man boosting card!"
Immediately afterwards, a huge attribute box popped up on the system interface, and Manuginobili's full name appeared on the top.
The attribute box is all of Manu's attributes, and there are modify buttons behind each attribute, but at the bottom of the attribute box, the available attribute value is zero.
However, after Qiao Hai lowered Manu's rebounding attributes, the available attribute values suddenly popped up to more than a dozen points available.
Qiao Hai understood how to use it, and then began to change it.
He has greatly improved Manu's breakthrough, projection and passing attributes, and reduced other useless attributes, overall, Manu's total rating has not changed, but his attributes have been fully utilized, Manu's three-point shooting, including ball control and passing have reached the top, especially awareness, which is the top of the top, relying on the current total rating of 76 points, Manu Ginobili will be the best sixth man in the new season.
"Dead wood in spring, after use, can make a veteran who is about to retire return to the game, and restore a certain strength (70%~90%), and continue to have an effect for one year."
"Condition: The player who is used will retire within two seasons."
The special effect card "Dead Wood Spring" was given to Patrick Ewing.
After a prompt: "Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have succeeded in using the special effect card "Dead Wood Spring"! ”
Another roulette wheel appeared in the system, and from 70% to 90%, the roulette wheel began to turn.
The red hand rotated back and forth, and finally stopped at the number 75%.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Patrick Ewing will recover 75% of his peak strength, please select the peak type."
The wheel then turns into three boxes.
"First, the defense is top-notch, and the offense is second-rate."
"Second, the offense is top-rate, and the defense is second-rate."
"Three, balance offense and defense."
The meaning of the three options is very simple, the peak 75% attribute is weakened, one only cuts offense, the other only cuts defense, and the other cuts both offense and defense, the reason why there are three options, Qiao Hai thinks, it should be that Peak Patrick Ewing is too strong.
Qiao Hai thought for a while and chose "one".
The Grizzlies have Maddy, they don't need Patrick Ewing to attack, they just need Ewing to defend well.
"Ding, the special effect card 'Dead Wood Spring' has been used successfully!"
After the use of "Dead Wood Spring", Patrick Ewing's attributes soared wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Qiao Hai set his sights on the battle book again.
Whether the war book is used or not, this is a question.
But thinking about the Grizzlies' lineup, Patrick Ewing, who is 75% peak in a year, Maddy, Raheem, and Mike Bibie, Billups and Sean Marion, who are quasi-peak, may be the strongest Grizzlies under Qiao Hai next season.
So not now, but when?
Gritting his teeth, Qiao Hai chose to use it!
"Ding, are you sure to use the special item 'War Book'?"
There is no turning back when the bow is opened, Qiao Hai is sure!
"The battle book has been used successfully!"
That's it.
Then, there is an additional dialog box on the system interface, which shows the progress of using the war book.
"Battle Book Mission 1: Publicly announce that the goal of the new season is to be the first in the league and the defending champion, and complete the reward is 100 victory points, and if you fail, the entire Battle Book mission will fail!"
The first task is very simple to complete, but Qiao Hai rarely says his goals so arrogantly, last season, until the beginning of the playoffs, Qiao Hai's announced goals are to make the playoffs, and in the playoffs, in addition to writing a column to predict the score of the playoffs, most of the time Qiao Hai is also modest.
Therefore, this so-called war book is actually to make Qiao Hai crazy, but think about it carefully, the first season of coaching the Grizzlies brought the Grizzlies from the bottom of the league to the first in the league and won the championship, and Qiao Hai does have crazy capital.
The preseason training camp is just around the corner, and there are many reporters who want to interview the Grizzlies and interview Qiao Hai, but Qiao Hai has issued an interview ban to the team, and no member of the team is allowed to be interviewed before the end of the preseason training camp.
Therefore, Qiao Hai finally chose to use the Hoop column to reply to the doubts of some media experts and reporters about the Grizzlies, and announced that in the new season, the Grizzlies' goal will be to be the first in the league in the regular season! Plus win the championship!
