Chapter 236: The Shutdown Is Over! A seismic change in the Alliance!
On January 20, 1999, the two sides finally formally signed this new long collective bargaining agreement, and the NBA's 204-day shutdown finally came to an end, and the biggest crisis in the history of the NBA was finally over!
At the same time, the league announced that the training camp will start on January 24, for a short period of time, only one week, followed by 5 days of preseason games, each team will play only 2 games, and then on February 5, the first season in NBA history that does not cross a natural year, will officially begin!
The regular season has been cut to only 50 games, the All-Star Game has been canceled, the schedule density of each team has also increased significantly, and the difficulty of each team's schedule has also increased!
The first shrinking season in NBA history is about to officially begin.
At the same time, although NBA activities such as contract extensions, free agent signings, rookie signings, etc., have begun as early as the day the two sides announced their agreement, according to the rules, they must start the official signing work from the day the two sides officially sign the contract on January 20.
So in other words, each team only has 5 days to assemble their new squad!
In 5 days, it is difficult to say what kind of lineup each team can compose, but their general managers and coaches are really busy and have a big head!
Even if they had reached some verbal agreements long before the season was shut down, and even if all the teams had actually started to rush when the agreement was reached, the work that used to be done all summer was so compressed into less than a week that no matter who it was, there would be a wave of desperation at this time.
Fortunately, this is the best basketball league in the world after all, and the world's elites gather here, so after some painless contract renewals and signings, the first shock-level free agent signing was born!
Scott Pippen, a meritorious player of the Chicago Bulls, a multi-time All-Star and All-Star team in the league, a five-time championship member, and known as the NBA's No. 1 small forward, joined the Houston Rockets on a five-year contract with a maximum salary!
He will be playing alongside Hakiem Olajuwon in the new season! Although the Rockets' Big Three 2.0 failed to appear as promised because of the absence of Barkley, Pippen finally fulfilled his dream of getting an annual salary of 10 million.
Then, there was another contract extension that drove the entire league crazy.
Patrick Ewing has chosen to take a pay cut again!
He once again chose to take a contract with a basic salary of 2 million a year and continue to stay in New York!
Ewing's salary in recent years is really enough to shock the entire league, from the highest annual salary in NBA history and the first 18 million annual salary in the 95-96 season, to 2 million in 97, and then in 98 he got an annual salary of 15 million again, and this year, he once again chose the base salary!
As for the reason why he chose the basic salary, it is too simple, almost everyone can see through it at a glance.
Michael jordan!
After all, Pippen has left, and Phil Jackson has also announced that he will not continue to coach the Bulls, as for Rodman......
Well, no one knows where Rodman is now and what he's doing, this guy is completely out of touch.
But predictably, the disintegration of the Bulls is a foregone conclusion!
Jordan will either retire, rebuild with the Bulls, or transfer.
He only has these three ways to go, but now this guy has not issued a retirement statement, and with his relationship with Klaus and Reinsdorf, it is completely impossible for him to accompany the Bulls to rebuild, and the remaining options are actually only one!
And everyone believes: Jordan, a native of Brooklyn, has only one place to go if he wants to transfer!
New York Knicks!
With the exception of the Knicks, there was nowhere else that could fulfill Jordan's demands and desires.
Less than 1 day after Ewing announced a large salary cut, the Knicks shot again, and they sent Larry Johnson, who had just signed a five-year, 55 million contract, with an annual salary of 8.5 million, and Chris Childs, who had an annual salary of 3 million, to the Los Angeles Clippers with a first-round pick and a 5-year contract last year.
Yes, post a first-round and two strong players of the year upside down, just for the air!
If it were any other time, this trade would be regarded as an idiot who slapped himself in the face, but by this time, everyone knew the heart of Sima Zhao of the Knicks!
Because of this, coupled with Ewing's salary cut of more than 18 million, the Knicks have pushed their salary down by more than $30 million! Overnight, in an almost crazy way, they pressed their total salary below the salary cap by $10 million!
Once again, they've got the chance to compete for the team's long-coveted superstar: Michael Jordan!
And, this time, there is no one to compete with them!
After Renensdorf and Klaus realized that Jordan had no thoughts and thoughts about staying in the team, they didn't humiliate themselves at all, and they didn't make an offer to Jordan at all! They knew Jordan too well, and they knew what kind of insult they would get if they just went about making an offer and applying for a contract extension.
So, this time, it's actually just a one-on-one negotiation between Jordan and New York.
The negotiations are moving frighteningly fast, or rather, New York may well have secured Jordan and Falck long before they made these two big moves.
Just before the start of training camp, Michael Jordan announced that he had joined the New York Knicks for 2 years and 20 million! At the same time, there is also a 2-year business endorsement contract between Jordan and Coca-Cola for 16 million!
Another blatant violation, another blatant add-on contract.
But just like last time, the alliance didn't care, and the rest of the people turned a blind eye and didn't intend to complain or report at all.
After all, no one in this league wants to offend the Knicks, Jordan and league officials at the same time!
This is absolutely thankless stupidity!
Well...... In fact, not all, there are a few people who are very interested in making Jordan deflated and unhappy.
Lintian, Bird and the Pacers!
Not only are they not afraid of Jordan and the Knicks, but they are even happy to see them deflated.
It's just that the current Pacers really don't have the mood to find trouble, and the problems they face are also very big.
First of all, the first problem is that Charles Barkley, who is smiling so much that his eyes are no longer visible, his body is at least 2 laps fatter than half a year ago, and his weight has increased by at least 30 kilograms!
“FUXX! Charles, have you been on a pig farm for half a year? What the hell is going on with all this fat on your body? Even Lin Tian, who had always been calm and calm, was completely stunned at this moment.
Did he give his bottle of fattening potion to Barkley or Webb? Why is this Barkley directly inflated like a balloon that has been blown up?
He is not growing fat and gaining weight, he is really directly out of control and expanding!
"There's no way, after winning the championship, it's inevitable to indulge, I'm so happy this summer, I can't help it! So this time, I actually want to tell you that I plan to retire. Barkley smiled and leaned back on the couch, looking at him, as if he had just been so active that he didn't want to move.
"Tell us early!" Bird is going crazy, this guy, all summer, no!
It was a whole summer, plus autumn and half winter, for more than 200 days, and he didn't say a word about his retirement!
It wasn't until the season was about to start that he was fat and a ball that he rolled over and said he was retiring?
FUXX!
In Bird's heart, he just wants to swear!
Although he had long expected that Barkley would definitely plummet in terms of willingness to play after winning the championship, and would not be as desperate as last season, he never expected that he would plummet to this point.
"You goddamn flying pig! Stupid scum! Lao Tzu really believes in your evil, and he actually thinks that you can still play! FUXX! I really want to just get you out right now and see which one is more fat or water in your brain! ”
Bird was frantically venting his dissatisfaction and anger, Barkley really made him collapse, but what Bird didn't expect was that Barkley's fat was increasing wildly, but his temper was rapidly decreasing.
was scolded by Bird in the face, Barkley still smiled and said: "Oh, anyway, I only signed for a year at the time, and now it is justified to retire, but I will still support you!" ”
Bird looked at the calm version of Barkley, and he was helpless, so he could only sigh and say: "Then you stay in the team, be a trainer or something, and bring the newcomers well." ”
"Can I refuse?" Buckley scratched his bald head and said, "I can't get up before 12 o'clock in the morning now, and I don't feel like I can eat enough without 3 fat steaks and a big bottle of Coke at every meal!" Carbonated drinks and fried foods are truly wonderful! It's true! ”
"Of course, the most important thing is that I've found a new job, a TNT narrator, and I don't have to fly around, I don't have to control my size, I don't even have to wake up early! When the time comes, I'll have a lot of good things to say about you! ”
"For the rest of my life, I'll be with fried chicken, beer, carbonated drinks, and all kinds of high-calorie foods, and I'll never be separated, and I've found that they're the love of my life, so, Larry, I'm sorry, it's not that you're bad, it's just ......"
"Fuck off! Get lost! Bird pointed directly at the door and scolded: "Go and live with your fried chicken beer and coke for the rest of your life!" ”
Lin Tian felt that this conversation between the two of them was almost the same as the declaration made when the boyfriend and girlfriend broke up!
Just turn basketball, steak, cola, and fried food into love and men and women names, and you'll be all right!
So, love, it's essentially such a thing.
Regardless, Barkley announced his retirement and once again threw himself into his drunken life, and the Pacers couldn't find a suitable replacement at this point with no salary space and no room for Bird.
"Lin, when the training camp comes, you communicate more with the two guys Rashad and Al, let them work hard, and strive to adapt to the NBA environment as soon as possible, we urgently need them to grow up quickly!"
To be honest, Bird regretted it a little at this time, he knew that Barkley, a bastard, would retire directly, how could Bird not take two half-finished power forwards in a row in the draft, how could he choose an instant combat force!
Originally, Bird's plan was to let Barkley pass on the gang to fight for another year and teach the little brother well, but now it's good, this guy runs away directly!
Shameless!
This dead fat pig is so angry!
But no matter how angry Bird is, he has no choice, he can only go to the free market, look carefully, and see if there is any fish that can be won with a base salary.
Everything in the shrinking season went very fast, with only a few days of free agency and then training camp right away, and a lot of the players in the camp didn't even get to know each other before the preseason started.
And when the preseason started, many fans were stunned!
They found that although many people were wearing their familiar jersey numbers and carrying the same name, the fans did not recognize who the fat man in front of them was!
Barkley's retirement directly after being blessed is considered good!
There are also a lot of players who come to the training camp, and they can't see anyone anymore, and they are completely fat!
O'Neal, Kemp, Vin Baker and, of course, Webb, these guys are getting fatter and worse at the game.
Needless to say, they must have not trained much at all during the entire shutdown!
A week's training camp is not enough to let the team hone in on tactics, even if it is to get these people back into game form, it is not enough to enter season mode!
That's the only benefit of this year's preseason, teams don't have much time to study and polish their rosters in training camp, and the coaching staff is almost entirely focused on helping players find their form and feel, which means that fans can spend preseason money to see regular-season level lineups and games!
Although there are no detailed technical statistics, everyone believes that this year's preseason game is definitely the most playing time for the main players in NBA history!
Coaches have basically given up on using preseason to observe role players and fringe players, they don't!
The main players haven't been inspected well, who has the heart to care about the role players?
Even, although the playing time of the main players has skyrocketed in this year's preseason, the performance of most of the players, hehe, it was really miserable.
Every stadium in the league, in almost every game, that's called a bang.
All the sounds from the stadium were the sound of iron!
Looking at the performance of the teams in the preseason, Stern was also very helpless.
What could he do?
I can only hope that these players can recover their confidence and feeling of the game soon, find their form soon, and bring the level of NBA games back to their previous heights!
And with the preseason unfolding, the NBA's regular season schedule has also been set early.
Without the Christmas War, the New Year's Eve War, and the All-Star Game, I have to say that this year's NBA regular season has a lot of gimmicks.
But fortunately, although this year's NBA has a lot less gimmicks, they have kept the season after all! In addition, the NBA still has a large number of marketing experts!
Christmas War is gone? No problem, we still have Valentine's Day battles!
The New Year's Eve battle is gone? No problem, we have the Arbor Day battle!
As long as the fans want to see it, we have it all!
In the case of the Pacers, they will face last year's first-round opponent in the playoffs and old enemy Cleveland Cavaliers in their opening game!
The Cavaliers have welcomed a top-tier interior player Chris Webber this season, and the twin towers of him and Kemp are also expected by many to make a big splash in the East!
In addition, the Pacers will hoist their championship flag and receive their championship ring before the game starts, for the first time in Indiana history!
The tickets for this game were still sold out by fans early when the ticket prices skyrocketed, and even more expensive than the tickets for the finals!
The Indians have been waiting for more than 200 days, and they would have been able to see this historic moment at the end of October, but now it has been postponed by a full three months!
They have a lot of passion and enthusiasm to unleash in this game!
In addition to the expectations of the fans, the players of the Pacers are also looking forward to this day!
This season's Pacers can be said to have undergone a wave of major changes, last year's meritorious players Dumas, Angie and Barkley all announced their retirement, plus the free departure of Best and others and Carter, Lewis and others selected in the draft, this season's Pacers have a lot of new faces!
Their specific lineup was also officially decided before the start of the regular season.
Centre-forwards: Rick Schmitz, Ben Wallace, Sam Perkins.
Power forwards: Dale Davis, Mark Pope, Rashad Lewis, Al Harrington.
Small forwards: Doug Christie, Chris Mullin, Fred Hojberg.
Shooting guards: Reggie Miller, Vince Carter, Aitderick Bonhamnon.
Defenders: Lin Tian, Greg Buckner.
Bird pieced together and kept making moves in the free market, and finally made up the team's 15-man roster! And after this list came out, it was actually quite good at first glance!
First of all, in the center position, Bird found Sam Perkins, who was the No. 4 pick and reached the Finals for the SuperSonics in the first two seasons, this is an experienced, calm and experienced interior player, although he is older, but as the team's third center and substitute inside, it is definitely more than enough.
And although Barkley has left, the Pacers still have a full four players in the No. 4 position, but despite the large number, this position has changed from the absolute strength of the Pacers last season to the least reassuring position this season.
After all, these four people look like they can play a table of mahjong, but in addition to Davis, who is a seasoned player, Lewis is a high school student, Harrington is also focused on potential, and second-year Pop did not enter the team's rotation for the whole year last year.
This position will likely become a key point for the Pacers in the new season!
In the small forward position, in addition to the very stable Christie and Hojborg, who began to enter the rotation in the second half of the playoffs last year, Bird also poached the former superstar from the Warriors, his teammate on the Dream Team, and now the old buddy Chris Mullin, who is almost retiring.
The reason why he was able to poach Mullin, an old drunkard, with a base salary is actually very simple: Bird took out the good wine he had treasured for many years, and promised that in addition to playing, he would teach him how to manage the team.
Yes, Bird has long seen that this old man also wants to follow the path of management after retiring, so he has successfully poached him from the Warriors' base salary, and the 'left hand of God' will also play the role of Dumas last season in the new season.
As for the No. 2 position, it has now become a position with a very rich reserve of personnel for the Pacers, in addition to the team soul Reggie Miller, there is also a super talent from North Carolina, who is considered by countless people to be able to grow quickly and become a superstar in a few years.
Add to that one Edderrick Bonhamnon, who can be called a dragon and phoenix with Mark Pope, and has also not been in the team's rotation, as long as there are no injuries, the Pacers' No. 2 position will not have any major problems.
Finally, there is the No. 1 position, although there are only 2 people in this position, but as long as Lin Tian is there, this position is the strongest position of the Pacers, after all, after the past few years of training and the prestige of a game, Lin Tian is now recognized as the league's No. 1 organizational guard!
With him, it's enough to crush all the backcourts in this league!
The team's No. 1 bench is Greg Buckner, an older rookie picked up by Bird at the end of the second round.
Buckner is not a gifted type of player, nor is he a great talent, his label is maturity, stability and hard work!
After playing at Clemson University for four years, he has always been the leader of the team, and he has also broken countless records of the team, and he is one of the best 'celebrities' in the history of the school! In addition, he was named to the Atlantic Coast Conference All-Star Second Team for two consecutive years, which is also unique in their team history.
But of course, these accolades don't help Buckner win any team in the NBA, and the reason is simple: no potential, that is, his combat power is just like that, and all his talents, such as height, speed, bounce, and reach, are really a bit mediocre on the NBA stage.
But fortunately, he still has hard work and stability, which is a big reason why Bird chose him.
Bird believes that this guy can withstand the pressure and stabilize the situation in the ten minutes that Lin Tian is away!
From this point of view, the four rookies of the Pacers this year, in addition to Carter, who will inevitably be focused on training and have a lot of playing time, Buckner is the one with the most opportunities, and everything depends on whether he can grasp it.
Even if he couldn't grasp it, Bird wasn't too worried.
Because when he organized this lineup, he paid great attention to the swinging ability of the players!
Most of the people on the team can play 2 or even 3 positions!
Carter, for example, is recognized as being able to play from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, Lewis and Ellington, two rookies, are also the type to swing from the No. 3 to No. 4 positions, and the veteran Mullin can also swing from the No. 3 position to the No. 1 position.
In addition, the team's outside trio Lin Tian, Miller and Christie, who won the championship last season, are also all-round talents who can play at least two positions.
The Pacers' lineup is quite a bit of future basketball, flexible, changeable, ambiguous, and unfixed in play.
Putting such a group of people in the hands of Bird is also very much worth looking forward to!
Bird is also very satisfied with the lineup he finally formed!
There are all kinds of veterans, potential newcomers, and titans of the year! Everything depends on how far the team can go this season and whether it can complete the defense of the title!
Lin Tian was also very satisfied with Bird's magic-like lineup, and one night before the start of the regular season, Lin Tian lay on his bed, looked at the team's lineup, and began to think about how he could complete the upgrade before the start of the season!
Now Lin Tian is a real rich man, he has accumulated more than 22,000 experience points, which is enough for him to complete several skill improvements!
This time, Lin Tian has a lot of choices!
He can improve the 'Offensive and Defensive Integration' or 'First Defense' that requires the most experience points, and these two skills each require more than 10,000 experience points, which can just use up all of Lin Tian's inventory.
Of course, Lin Tian can also choose to improve other skills that require less experience, so that he can become more comprehensive and changeable!
Looking at the team's lineup, Lin Tian, who has never liked to hesitate, also made a decision quickly.
Because of Barkley's departure, the team's ability to pass after rebounding and grabbing rebounds has been greatly reduced, although Davis is hard, he is a pure blue-collar and does not have the ability to pass, so in order to continue to play the Pacers' signature offensive and defensive conversion, rebounding and passing, Lin Tian has to come himself!
So his first decision was to use about 4,000 experience points to upgrade the 'peak moment' that can improve both abilities at the same time.
Moreover, after this skill is upgraded, it can also be fused with the 'one-handed quick pass' that is also LV3 to form a new skill, which can save Lin Tian more experience points when he upgrades last time!
Then, Lin Tian decided to use almost 7,000 experience points to improve the skill of 'Flying God Pig', which can improve Lin Tian's rebounding, confrontation and bounce! Let Lin Tian become stronger in the new season's competition!
In the end, Lin Tian used all the remaining 11,000 points of experience on the 'integration of offense and defense', which is his strongest and most comprehensive skill now, giving himself another comprehensive improvement!
"Peak moment LV3 (0/14000): The host's rebounding ability is increased by 16%, the ability to find teammates after grabbing rebounds is increased by 13%, and if a friend of the fast-break mid-pass team receives the ball and shoots directly without dribbling, the shooting rate will increase by 9%! If a teammate shoots within 7 seconds of the start of the offensive round, the shooting percentage is increased by an additional 3%! When passing with the Williams Pass Move, the turnover rate increases by 5%! ”
Then there's the fusion of peak moments and one-handed fast passes!
"Peak Moment LV3 (4000/20000): The host's rebounding ability is increased by 16%, the ability to find teammates after grabbing rebounds is increased by 13%, and the shooting rate of fast-break mid-pass teammates who shoot directly without dribbling after receiving the ball will increase the shooting rate by 9%! If a teammate shoots within 7 seconds of the start of the offensive round, the shooting percentage is increased by an additional 3%! When passing the ball with the Williams Pass Animation, the turnover rate increases by 4%! If you use a one-handed pass, you will receive an additional 5% bonus to passing balls and an additional 15% faster and more accurate ball playing! ”
Looking at this large list of skill introductions, Lin Tian silently nodded like.
Let's just say, in the future, serious people, who will pass the ball with both hands? It's just throwing it with one hand!
"Flying God Pig LV4 (0/16000): 17% increase in strength, 12% increase in rebounding ability, and 9% increase in bounce."
"Offensive and defensive integration LV4 (0/28000): 9% increase in mid-range shooting percentage, 9% increase in finishing ability under the basket, 9% increase in breakthrough ability, 9% increase in rebounding ability, 9% increase in back-to-back singles ability, 9% increase in single defense ability, 9% increase in steal ability, and 9% increase in blocking ability."
After all these 3 skills were upgraded, the first thing Lin Tian did was, of course, to open the system panel and take a good look at the new situation after his upgrade!

How so?
Not to mention the improvement of these data, the feeling of consuming more than 20,000 experience points at once is cool!
Dashing! It's no wonder Iverson likes to fill up his head in nightclubs and throw dollars all over the sky.
This feeling of paying the bill, it's great!
Especially after consumption, it is even more gratifying to watch the improvement of your ability value!
Lin Tian's improvement this time is absolutely all-round, from offense to defense, from rebounding to strength to bounce, shooting, stealing, and breaking through these ability values have all been improved at the level!
Among them, the ability of rebounding has been directly improved by two levels!
Moreover, even Lin Tian's three general evaluations have also improved.
The consumption of more than 20,000 points at a time, and the consumption of 8,000 or 10,000 yuan with buckle ropes, the feeling is different!
Of course, in the half a year that this season was suspended, Lin Tian's practice was indeed not so ruthless, compared with Kobe Bryant and Jordan, who took masochism as their hobby and frantically honed their bodies as their happiness, Lin Tian was really much worse in terms of hard work.
For example, in the weight column, Lin Tian's weight is 4KG heavier than last season's 86KG, reaching 90KG.
With top speed and top weight in the same position, Lin Tian felt that he could start to mourn for his opponents next season.
Payton, Stockton, and Kidd are destined to be worse than the other.
Well, and Iverson and Marbury are smart types, hehe, little brother, have you finished dribbling? My brother is going to start backfighting!
Of course, at present, Lin Tian's 4KG weight, although he can't see it in clothes, and Barkley and Webb, who have gained 15 or even 20 kg in half a year, can't be compared at all, but the weight of 4KG has not completely evolved into effective muscles, most of them are fat.
One of the most significant evidence is that Lin Tian's shooting performance in the two preseason games was not good, with a 3-point shooting rate of only 36% and an overall shooting rate of only 43%!
Compared with his performance in the previous three years, this number is really a bit stretched.
However, Lin Tian is not worried, now that he has completed the upgrade, and secondly, with the deepening of the season, Lin Tian is confident that all the 4KG of fat will be turned into effective muscles, or the kind of real living muscles, which can make his opponent grow effectively!
At most, by the middle of the season, Lin Tian will be able to become a real humanoid tank, carrying an explosive bag that can charge 100% of the league's organizational guards!
So Lin Tian was not in a hurry, his strength had to be trained a little bit, his muscles had to evolve a little bit, and the game had to be fought one by one.
If you can adjust to the perfect condition before the playoffs, it will be enough!
ESPECIALLY, COMPARED TO THE OPPONENT OF THE PACERS' OPENING GAME, LIN TIAN'S 4KG OF FAT IS NOT WORTH MENTIONING AT ALL!
Because Lin Tian saw the Cavaliers' media day makeup photos.
How so?
Lin Tian decided to name the inside line of Kemp and Webb Hefei Combination, or Half-ton Combination, or Fat Double Pig, Meat Bullet Chariot, Fat Fat Le, and Plus Size Men's Model......
These two guys are really fat and out of phase!
Anyway, Lin Tian himself is very much looking forward to seeing these two old friends again.
After all, when they met last year, Camp was still full of muscles, looking like the first violent striker in the 90s.
Webb is also full of brilliance and aims to become the most gorgeous and talented power forward in NBA history.
Lin Tian also believed that the Cavaliers must have had an incomparably beautiful fantasy when they formed a combination of these two!
Webb took the ball high to attract the defense, and then suddenly a pass, Kemp on the inside turned to wipe the defender and pulled up a two-handed smash dunk!
Webb took the ball back in a low position, the opponent was just about to wrap up, Webber suddenly passed the ball behind without looking at people, and the empty cut Kemp took the ball with both hands and pulled it up, which was another violent abuse basket!
Even, Webber can also hold the ball in the high post and play Camp to block and dismantle, after the two are separated, one inside and one outside, both of them have top defensive containment and offensive ability, how can the opponent defend?
Don't be careful!
Anyway, at least coach Flatlow is so fantasizing!
During the long offseason, he enthusiastically built and designed a perfect system and a variety of connection tactics between the two according to the style of play of Kemp and Webb!
Even he counted the team's other inside big Z Ilgeskas! He thought that at some point, he could have a three-tower tactical play!
Flatlow felt in his heart that he had been given a chance to build the top interior twin towers and the most gorgeous interior combination in NBA history!
Well, Flatlow is smiling in his dreams this offseason!
The only thing he was a little worried about was the relationship between Kemp and Webb! After all, these two are not good people, both have a history of falling out with their former teammates, and they are both well-known thorns, and Vlatro is really a little worried about whether these two will fight for a boss position and affect the team's chemistry.
Hey, there's no way, when the time comes, just watch yourself show your charm, watch yourself use your leadership temperament to conquer these two big men, and then compose a good story together!
This season's best manager, Fraltlow, feels that he has a chance to compete for it!
And then?
Then the bootcamp begins!
