Summer League ended with Jeffrey Taylor, the last rookie drafted in the first round of the year, to sign a three-year, $2.28 million contract that expires in the summer of 2015.

When it was time for official media day, the 76ers assembled at the Wachovia Center Arena, full of personnel and strong troops.

Point guards: Kyle Lowry, Chauncey Billups.

Shooting guards: Iguodala, Ray Allen, Meeks.

Small forwards: Tang Wenlong, Jimmy Butler, Jeffrey Taylor.

Power forwards: David West, Joey Loyle.

Centre-forwards: Marc Gasol, Hassan Whiteside, Kwame Brown.

Media reporters and professional videographers began to take makeup photos for the 76-member team. Still centered on the black and white jersey tone, Ray Allen opted for the number 34 jersey. Billups, on the other hand, opted for the No. 7 jersey because his favorite No. 1 shirt has been used by Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong was a little embarrassed, but Billups felt that it didn't matter, after all, the current Philadelphia No. 1 was also a symbol of the league.

Beginning on September 15, the 76ers began their in-team training camp.

At this time, the good players on the free market who are helpful to the team are divided up more or less, and there are some small trades happening in the league, and the teams have basically decided on their rosters for the new season.

At the same time, predictions for the new NBA season are starting to intensify.

First of all, the odds of winning the championship of the major websites, after the results were opened, the 76ers who lost a lot of generals were not at the top of the list, and the Lakers, who made a big move to gather the Super Four in the offseason, ranked first, followed by the Heat, and then the 76ers, Thunder and Spurs.

2K Games has advanced their game to 2K13, and in the cover of this issue, they have chosen three representatives of the new generation of stars: Tang Wenlong, Durant and Griffin.

The league has gradually entered a stage of alternating between the old and the new, and the stars from 07 to 10 years have begun to emerge, and have repeatedly knocked out the old powerhouses.

Whiteside is very concerned about the rating of this game, and the game has not yet come out, and the details of the game that have been announced one by one have already attracted him.

He strongly urged 2K to be the first to publish his personal ratings.

“67？” Whiteside was furious, why is his ability value so small!

"It's so unreasonable, I think I should at least have an ability value of 73 or more, 67 is too low, it is simply the ability value of the most marginal person in the NBA."

When Whiteside was interviewed by the media, he said what he thought in his heart with a big grin. Tang Wenlong was surprised to find that since signing a new contract in the summer, he has also changed a lot, and the original reticent person has the meaning of replacing the departed Louis Williams and becoming a new locker room microphone. And he often makes surprising statements, and this interview with the media is obviously not considered at all.

2K companies are also very helpless to meet a player who is worried about their ability values, usually whenever they release player data and ability values, basically not many stars come to ask. What can really be caused is all kinds of dissatisfaction among fans.

Then in the second phase of the players, 2K announced several players with a rating of around 80.

For example, Marc Gasol has 81 ability points, becoming the first star noticed by 76ers fans in the new batch of players announced. There are also Curry of the Golden State Warriors, who also has an ability value of 81, Pistons star Greg Monroe has an ability value of 81, and former 76ers player Holiday has an ability value of 79.

In reality, the players of the 76ers have already started the team training camp, and the 76ers officials took a day to open the training to the public.

is still based on recovery and polishing the lineup, the 76ers' starting five tigers have not changed anything, and the new players are naturally training with the lineup of the five tigers. In fact, with the basketball IQ of Ray Allen and Billups, he can basically read the playbook for a few nights, and he can already have a certain chemistry with his teammates on the court.

Tang Wenlong was tired enough in the summer, and head coach Collins arranged Tang Wenlong's relatively light training tasks, and his total amount was probably the same as that of veterans like David West or Billups. As for the newcomers Jeffrey Taylor, the young Whiteside, and Jimmy Butler, Collins has increased their practice so much that they want to cry without tears.

The team's training is indispensable for team confrontation, which is divided into half-time three-on-three, full-court five-on-five confrontation, Tang Wenlong was pleasantly surprised to find that many players have not seen each other for a summer, and they have made great progress.

"Jimmy, you're really getting stronger!"

Tang Wenlong also felt a little uncomfortable in the confrontation with Butler, the former has become more and more like his master since he apprenticed to Iguodala.

"Bang!" Muscles collided directly with each other, as if two wild beasts were wrestling.

Tang Wenlong's left foot is the axis, he turns to the left half, spins to the right and taps on the floor, turns around and throws a jump shot, Butler does not lose his position, jumps up and blocks, Tang Wenlong's waist is straight, he stays in the air and does not shoot, and he throws the ball when he falls.

"Damn, that's too much." Rookie Jeffrey Taylor, who was sitting on the sidelines resting, almost dropped his jaw on the ground, and he had never seen a player like this when he was in college.

Even if there were, it would not have been possible to score with such defensive intensity! He was sure.

Tang Wenlong and Butler returned to the high position, and the trainer hoisted the ball to Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong turned to the front three threats, shook to the right, moved a step to the left, and directly raised his arm to shoot.

Butler defended very well, although his arm span was not excellent, but it gave Tang Wenlong enough interference.

Tang Wenlong didn't throw the ball, and the basketball brushed out of the basket.

The two swapped places, Butler attacked with the ball, and Tang Wenlong defended alone.

Butler hasn't seen him all summer, and he's been black again, his arms are obviously much thicker than when he first entered the NBA last year, and his whole person looks even stronger. After he got the ball, he was almost in the same three-threat posture as Tang Wenlong, and he was also placed at his left waist, with his left foot not moving at the central axis and his right foot tentatively stepping.

After holding the ball with a low hand and breaking to the right, Tang Wenlong followed the ground very tightly, and Butler knew that if this place shot directly, the probability would be directly covered by Tang Wenlong.

He made an emergency stop, stayed in place, shook off Tang Wenlong's center of gravity, and threw a shot backwards.

"Step-back jumper?" Tang Wenlong's eyes flashed, and he flew up his cap.

Butler shot early, the basketball passed through the net, and it can be seen that the angle and speed of Butler's shot have improved in the summer, and it has only been three months, and he has improved a lot of ability.

"The substitutions are so good, oh my God."

As a rookie who was the second substitute, Jeffrey instantly felt that the 76ers were full of talent, and it was completely different from what he had imagined after being selected in the draft. (To be continued.) )
