Chapter 297: Preseason

"Yes, yes, it seems that you are not too relaxed this holiday, and your body is very good! I'm satisfied. ”

Negro looked at his teammates with a happy face, and he was quite satisfied.

For the head coach of the team, the biggest fear is not the game, but the offseason. Even a manager can't supervise the players during the holidays, and what the players will do and want to do during the holidays is something that the coach can never interfere with.

There are too many excellent players who have greatly decreased their physical fitness because of overeating during the holidays, which is the reason for the lack of self-control.

But that doesn't happen to Nigro's Clippers, at least the main players are in good shape.

Nodding in satisfaction, Negro continued to look down at the player.

Then he saw the king cannon.

"Who is this? Has the general manager brought in new players? Negroch said.

"Holy! Boss, don't be like this, okay? Wang Dacang shook his head depressedly, "I know that you can't accept that I have lost so much weight for a while, but you don't have to pretend that you don't know me, right?" ”

"Haha, just kidding." Negro laughed suddenly, stepped forward and put his shoulder on Wang Cannon's shoulder, and said, "Look at Wang Cannon, just by his muscles and size, I can conclude that he must be the most diligent among you during the holidays, Wang Cannon, what did you do in the offseason?" ”

Wang Cannon thought for a while and said, "Eat, sleep, and play ball." ”

Clippers players: ""

The new season is about to begin, and the Clippers players are all reporting to the team, and every season, there are always some people who leave and some people who join.

The Clippers are no exception, although the overall framework of the Clippers is now tending to perfection. But there are certain details that still need to be done to the best.

The two main players on the bench last season, Randy. Foye and Bledsoe left the Clippers back in August.

Naturally, they didn't go for nothing, Foye's walk cleared the Clippers' salary space of more than five million, and Bledsoe was traded to the Mavericks. In exchange for the Mavericks' point guard Jason. Kyd.

Super point guard Kidd is now a full-fledged veteran, and after the closest thing to a championship in 10 years was ruined by the Heat, Kidd's form has dropped significantly, and last season's tight schedule made Kidd feel even weaker.

The all-around king of the year, now only averages 4 points and 3 assists per game, and he can no longer stay on the court as a starter. However, his experience is still there, and the tandem team can barely do it, and he doesn't pull down much of a beautiful three-point shot.

The aging Kidd has experience, and the young Bledsoe has the future.

The Clippers traded Bledsoe for an experienced veteran in exchange for Bledsoe's future. The goal is to go for the championship. The Mavericks are now seeing that while Nowitzki, the core of the team, is still there, the Mavericks have officially entered a rebuilding phase, and a point guard with a lot of potential like Bledsoe is exactly what they are looking for.

Kidd's official joining ceremony hadn't even begun, and the Clippers immediately found an old companion for Kidd.

Antoine. Jamison, a veteran about the same age as Kidd, plays as a power forward and a part-time small forward. This guy isn't as well-known as Kidd, but he was also an absolute All-Star when he was younger. With an average of 20+10 per game, that's easy. What's more, Jamison is a free agent, and the Clippers didn't come back at any cost to sign him, and his contract is also the cheapest veteran contract.

The purpose of these older players joining the Clippers is clear, and it is natural to win the championship.

Several big battles between the Clippers and Heat last season were all in the spotlight, if it weren't for Paul's unexpected injury. Championships don't have to be with the Heat, and if these veterans want to win a championship before retiring, joining a team like the Clippers is the easiest and easiest way to do it.

There are many people who think the same way as Kidd and Jamison. Among them is the Gentleman Sword Thunder. Alan.

After the Celtics got a championship ring, Ray. Allen is not satisfied, especially in recent years, his relationship with Rondo, the new core of the Celtics, has been very average, so after the contract expired, Ray Allen decisively chose to leave the Celtics.

The team that Ray Allen chose is the Heat, and compared with the Faster Ships, Ray Allen believes in the Heat, which has won two consecutive championships.

Ray Allen and Kidd are still a little different, the current Junzijian strength is still very strong, and he can still average more than 20 points per game as a starter, which has to be said to be a very strong improvement for the overall strength of the Heat.

also chose to leave the team, as well as the Suns' point guard Nash, his choice is the Los Angeles Lakers, the reason is very simple, because the Lakers have successfully introduced the monster Howard during this period of operation, although they also sent Bydam, but they formed a triumvirate of Kobe, Gasol, and Howard.

In general, this NBA is an era of veterans collectively jumping ship, and these players who have never won the championship until they are old are anxious at this time, as the saying goes, if we are not crazy, we will be old, and if they don't make some sacrifices and changes, the championship will always ignore them.

The Clippers' reinforcements this summer are not large, but Wang Cannon is quite satisfied, after all, veterans like Kidd and Jamison can play some role at critical moments, and the Clippers also have powerful role players like Barnes, plus the starting five Tigers who have tended to be perfect, as long as the Clippers can continue to play last season, they are definitely still a favorable contender for the championship this season.

Every qiē is so perfect, but as the head coach of the team, Nigro knows that the Clippers are far from dominating the league. Because the water in the west is too deep.

Unlike the Eastern Fengping Langjing, where only the Heat and Bulls dominate, the competitive pressure of the Western team is too great.

The old and strong Spurs, the Lakers with the Big Four, although the best sixth man Harden went to the Rockets, but it strengthened a Martin's Thunder, the Grizzlies with strong internal strength, and the Warriors with full firepower on the outside.

Any team in the West is one of the best teams, and the thought of the Clippers in the West having to play at least four games each with these guys in the regular season gives Negro a headache.

The pre-season of the new season starts at the beginning of October. In the period leading up to the start, the Clippers did a lot of things, such as the press conference for the players to join, such as the team's adaptation training, and the players' respective physical recovery training, etc.

Half a month is fleeting, and the pre-season will soon begin.

In this half-month training match. Negro's biggest and most unexpected discovery was the change of the king cannon.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but as time went on, he gradually noticed that Wang Dacang's style of play seemed to be a little different from last season.

It's not a little different, to be exact, it's completely different.

How to say it, if you give Negro an adjective to describe it, the former king cannon played like a bull. No matter what defense you are, no matter what tactics you have, carry it hard! And he can really score.

And now the king cannon is very obscene.

That's right, it's obscene, this word may not be very good, but it is very suitable for the current Wang Cannon, who is still very average in terms of tactical comprehension. But the fight is very obscene, and the number of strong fights is less. There are more times to sneak up leaks, and when necessary, he will still be hard, but in that case, only one person is defending him, and basically he will definitely score.

The change in the king cannon made Negro very surprised and very happy.

To know. Wang Cannon is the offensive core of the entire Clippers team, and the richer and more versatile his style of play becomes, the more tactics the Clippers can use, and the higher the corresponding scoring efficiency.

Negro doesn't know why Wang, who has always played with a tendon, suddenly changed his playing style, but this matter is good for the Clippers. Nature is a good thing.

If Negro knew that Wang Cannon would be tortured by the soy sauce players in the training module every day, I believe he would definitely understand why Wang Cannon is playing so obscene now.

Paul is still strong, Griffin and Jordan Jr. have improved significantly, and Wang Cannon has also changed so dramatically, and the Clippers don't seem to have any major roster changes, but the strength of the team has changed dramatically.

The growth of the team has given Nigro more and more confidence to do even better this season.

Soon, the Clippers' first preseason game began on October 7.

The opponent of the Clippers in this game is the Nuggets, all along, the preseason is just a whetstone event to run in the team, and there are very few people who value him, like last season, the suspension of the director zhì training time is rare after all, and the first five games of the preseason Wang Cannon, Paul, and Griffin did not play, because there was no need for that.

The Clippers without the Big Three replaced them with Kidd, Jamison and Barnes, and the effect was also very good, 5 preseason games, the Clippers won 3 games, lost 2 games, and the remaining 5 preseason games The Big Three played together, and won all 5 games!

The Clippers have won 8 of their 10 preseason games, and although it is only a preseason game that people don't pay attention to, it can also see how strong the Clippers have come.

The strength of the Clippers made fans rejoice, and in their opinion, the current Los Angeles has completely belonged to the Clippers.

Lakers, you say? Yes, the Lakers have formed the Big Four, but what did they do in the preseason?

Lose! Lose! It's all about losing.

The Lakers Big Four, who are favored by everyone, have been losing all the time, and the newly joined Nash and Howard can't find a rhythm at all under the Lakers' system, and what's worse is that in the preseason, Kobe Bryant and Howard have been injured, and the Lakers have lost all 10 preseason games, making everyone blind.

The Lakers' players are blindfolded, the Lakers' coaches are blindfolded, and the Lakers fans are also blindfolded.

When was the last time the Lakers lost such a tragic 10-game losing streak?

Many people can't remember clearly, anyway, since the Lakers formed a partnership between Kobe and Gasol, the Lakers have never left the title of the league's powerhouse.

But now that there are the Big Four, the Lakers have failed miserably, which has to make people skeptical about the Lakers' performance after the regular season.

As the head coach of the Lakers, the Lakers' record is not good, and the call for Brown's departure is getting louder and louder, and the Lakers have begun to prepare for Phil Jackson to return to coach the Big Four luxury team.

Of course, none of this is a problem for the Clippers, and how the Lakers are is not much to do with them, and playing their game well is the key.

The whole month of October was relatively tight, and the team's adaptation training and preseason matters occupied most of the time, so that Wang Dacang and Cheng Qian rarely had time to date.

However, even if Wang Dacang is not busy, the nature of Cheng Qian's work also determines that the two of them can not be together for a long time.

Wang Dacang didn't care, after all, this is Cheng Qian's job, and it is what she likes, although Wang Dacang will be a lot more boring in this way, but think about it carefully, when I didn't have a girlfriend before, didn't I come over like this every day?

And now there is a realistic simulation module that tortures Wang Cannon every day, and I am not afraid that Wang Cannon will be idle and bored, and if you are bored, go around the module, and keep you in no mood at all.

On Oct. 26, after the Clippers' final preseason game, Negro finally gave the team a three-day break.

Wang Dacang called Cheng Qian excitedly, but tragically found that Cheng Qian was still not available, not only was he not available this time, but Cheng Qian also had to go to an orphanage in other places to inspect and study.

A disappointed Wang Cannon was about to change his three-day vacation into sleep when a phone call from Griffin made him change his mind.

"Brother, I haven't been out for a long time, so let's go out and have a good time tonight?"

Hearing Griffin's words, Wang Cannon's first thought was to refuse, and the previous nightclub experiences had already given Wang Dacang a psychological shadow.

But after thinking about it, Wang Dacang felt that he was idle anyway, and it was not bad to go out for a spin to kill time, although he had a girlfriend, but he went for a spin, and didn't hook up with his sister?

With this thought, Wang Dacang still nodded in agreement.

It's just that Wang Dacang didn't expect that Griffin, a senior nightclub expert, didn't choose the location in his favorite nightclub this time.

In Griffin's own words, "I'm used to eating muddy, and it's good to be vegetarian once in a while, so let's go and order it today, go to the bar, I know of a very nice bar recently, and the style is very good." ”

So, at Griffin's call, a group of Clippers did not disguise themselves and swaggered towards the hotel. (To be continued......)
