Chapter 3 Preseason
Robert rented a house not far from the arena on the third day after signing the contract. Robert decided to take www.biquge.info a day off and go out to see the cultural scenery of Philadelphia and feel the history and culture of Philadelphia. In Chinatown, Robert also found a particularly great Chinese restaurant. The next day, after a day's rest, Robert got up early and ran around the road. Robert, who was active, entered his own training mode. Persistence may not necessarily succeed, but success is inseparable from the support of perseverance. After some activity, warm-up, and complete body movement, Robert began to train according to his plan.
Although LeBron. James jumped out of his contract, but his agent issued a statement saying that he would only choose between the Heat and the Cavaliers. That being said, the major teams are still actively working with James' spokesperson, Richie. Paul. Brown and 76ers general manager Sam Brown. Sinkey was also actively contacting Paul, and after being explicitly rejected, Brown and general manager Sinkey decided to abandon the plan and decided to go after other stars and some useful players.
After saying goodbye to Sinki, Brown is ready to go back and think about the next reinforcement plan. Out of the door, Brown suddenly remembered that it seemed that some information had fallen in the arena. After getting the information and preparing to pick up the car, Brown vaguely heard the sound of slapping the ball and shooting the iron. Walking over and pushing open the door of the training room, I saw a young man with short hair and a sweaty face practicing shooting. Bending his knees, his arms are at 90 degrees, he jumps and throws the ball along his fingertips, and the ball is also obediently drilled into the basket in a standard posture. And the young man didn't care about throwing one after the other.
"Hey, Robert, training again? What a hardworking child. ”
Hearing someone talk, Robert stopped what he was doing, turned around and saw that it was Brown and said, "Hey, coach, I just want to improve my strength as soon as possible." ”
"Well, I've seen the summer league you played, and I don't think you're very good at confrontation, and you're a little resistant to physical contact. I think as long as you enhance your confrontation ability and change your mentality, your strength will have a good improvement. In the former, you can communicate with Wright on the team, and as for the change of mentality, it is up to you to see how you change your mindset. ”
"I will, Coach!"
"OK, then you can practice by yourself first, I'll go back first, come on, boy!"
Brown called Wright during the pick-up process and asked him to develop a training plan that suited Robert according to his physical condition. Wright decided to go and meet Robert and then talk about the training plan. The next day, Wright, who had met Robert, trained Robert with a plan and a nutritionist who had been made overnight.
This offseason has little to do with the 76ers, who can't attract stars to pitch at all. Against the backdrop of disappointment, the 76ers added a number of players according to the lineup. Although the 76ers have been calm, the free agents in the market have made quite a few waves. With the biggest name James low-key announced his return to the Cavaliers, he signed a 1+1 contract with the Cavaliers. Stars in the market have signed with the team, and a news on August 7 knocked on the desks of major managers.
On August 7, 2014, the Cavaliers reached an in-principle trade agreement with the Timberwolves, in which Wiggins was traded to the Timberwolves, from whom the Cavaliers acquired Kevin Love, who in turn acquired not only Wiggins, but also Anthony Bennett and a 2015 protected draft pick.
On August 24, 2014, the Timberwolves officially announced that the team had officially completed a three-way trade with the Cavaliers and the 76ers, and the Timberwolves got Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett of the Cavaliers and Thaddeus Young of the 76ers. The 76ers received the Cavaliers' 2015 Heat first-round pick, Alexey Sherved and Luke Bamot. And the Cavaliers undoubtedly became the biggest winner of the offseason after getting Loew!
A week before the start of the preseason, the 76ers had already decided on a 15-man roster for the 2014-2015 season: point guard: Michael. Carter. Williams, Tony. Roten, Tim. Fraser. Shooting Guard: Jason. Richardson, Robert, Alexey. Shevid. Striker: Luke. Bamot, Hollis. Thompson, Brammy. Grant. Power Forward: Brandon. Davis, Henry. Simms, Robert. Covington, Jakar. Sampson. Center: Joel. Embiid, Noros. Noel.
The preseason is a warm-up game for each team before the start of the NBA regular season, because after each season, each team has considerable changes in the lineup, in order to let the teams run in the lineup, familiarize themselves with the playing style of their respective teams, determine the lineup of each team for the new season, and also improve the communication between players and coaches, so before the start of each season, the NBA holds a number of preseason games, so that they can be in a better state to devote themselves to the long regular season games.
The pre-season of the 2014-2015 season kicked off on October 3. The Heat and Pelicans kicked off in Louisville, Kentucky. On the 4th, the 76ers faced the incoming Lakers at home.
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the few evergreens in NBA history, second only to the Boston Celtics in winning the championship, with 16 NBA championships, 31 Western Conference championships, and the highest winning streak of 33 games (the highest in the league). The Los Angeles Lakers have created two "Laker dynasties", and Lakers fans can name star players such as Kobe, O'Neal, "Magic" Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, West, McCann and other star players.
Brown lined up Roten, Scheved, Bamot, Simms, and Embiid to face the Lakers. With the excellent performance of "singles king" Nick Young and Boozer, the Lakers took the lead with a score of 30:20 in the first quarter. At the beginning of the second quarter, Brown was replaced by Robert, who had worked hard for an offseason. After Wright's training, Robert's strength, explosiveness, and speed have determined some improvements, and although Robert still has streamlined muscles after gaining weight, he doesn't look too thin.
Robert, who had just come on the court, took it, and Embiid grabbed the rebound and went to the front court. Hit a three-pointer between offense and defense, as if opening a Pandora's box, and the 76ers' shooting rate picked up and hit one after another to instantly overtake the score. At the end of the two quarters, the 76ers led by 2 points.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Robert, who had played the entire quarter, sat on the bench to rest. After halftime, the Lakers stabilized their position, and the scores of the two sides alternated points, and the two sides tied at 78 at the end of the third quarter. Two minutes into the fourth quarter, Brown replaced Robert.
When Robert came on, he hit two three-pointers and one mid-range shot in two minutes to give his team the lead. Then the 76ers played steadily and got off to a good start with 108:101! Robert handed over a report card of 13 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.
Over the course of the next game, Robert's playing time continued to increase and his scoring improved. The 76ers went 3-2 in the next five games, and Robert played an average of 30 minutes per game, contributing 18.8 points, 4.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds. Many media are exclaiming that a new star is rising!
