This night, no one knew what Lin Tian and Dolan were talking about when they hid after knocking on the ice, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but everyone could see that these two guys were very happy!

When they walked out of the room, their faces were red, and the corners of their mouths couldn't stop rising.

Although the two people just communicated just now only reached a preliminary intention and briefly chatted about some details and imagined the future, it is still unknown when things will be done and when the reality show empire in their hearts will be built.

But both of them are sure of one thing now-

That's the two of them, who will be recorded in the history books of the development of American TV programs and enter the Hall of Fame!

Everyone in the future has to mention the names of the two of them when they mention the earth-shaking changes in TV programs at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, thus starting a new history!

Of course, there will be countless green dollar bills on top of that!

Dolan has even begun to imagine that he would just go out on his own and change his surname!

You can set up another portal and have a Dolan 2.0 family!

At that time, there was no need to look at the board of directors and the faces of those old men!

Be your own master and enjoy the chic.

As for Lin Tian, he is also complacent, although the contract with Dolan does not clearly state how to develop and how to advance, and which project will come first and which project will be made clear, but Lin Tian and Dolan both know that this cooperation can definitely take shape again!

Because no one is going to be against the big bills and the praise of the whole world, they continue to work together, and there is no harm in doing nothing!

After a few days in New York, Lin returned to Indiana in mid-September.

There is only one week left until the official start of the training camp.

Lin Tian is really busy this summer, and he didn't even participate in brand activities and business trips around the world, but his exposure is really high enough, from the training camp to the Asian Championships, Lin Tian is active in everyone's field of vision almost all the time.

In such a busy situation, Lin Tian did not delay his training at all, his figure was not out of shape at all, and the state of the game was also maintained excellently! After all, he basically trained with the young players in the training camp for the first month, and then went to play the Asian Championships, which were not of a high level, but allowed him to maintain his competitive level.

So instead, in the last 10 days before the start of the season, Lin Tian chose to rest and recover completely.

No longer going to drink, no longer staying up late, is to resume the main work and rest.

Supplemented with some low-intensity training to maintain the state.

All this is waiting for the last season of the 20th century, or rather, the first training camp of the 21st century!

99-00 season!

After the last championship of the 20th century was won by the Knicks, Lin Tian will never let it go again at the turn of the century!

Although strictly speaking, this does not have any special significance.

But Lin Tian just didn't want to give up! Just want it!

In the past few days in Indiana, Lin Tian has also studied and learned about all the things that happened in the league in the offseason that are worthy of his attention.

Except for Pippen's joining Portland and Webb coming around and finally coming to Indiana, which Lin Tian has known for a long time.

One of the biggest sensations of the entire offseason was the breakup of Salt Lake City!

After losing to the Western Conference semifinals again last season, Stockton felt a deep sense of inadequacy, and an old ankle injury caused him to slip faster and earlier than Lin knows in history.

In the playoffs last season, Stockton was almost the opponent's breakthrough point, he was blown up by all opponents but was unable to fight back, averaging only 8 points and 5 assists per game in the playoffs, although the shooting rate was still 48%+41%, but everyone knew that this was not a performance of his high offensive grasp rate, but a sign that he had no confidence in his offense!

Aside from the absolute open space and the opportunity for a super empty basket, Stockton has almost lost the confidence and courage to shoot.

In this case, the old bastard, the old ruffian who played for Salt Lake City all his life, the number one villain in the No. 1 position in the 90s, the master of small movements, and the king of blackfeet, finally chose to retire.

Instead of chasing the fading championship, he decided to leave the court.

Stockton's decision, which made the whole league cheer!

This league, no one except Salt Lake City likes Stockton, they don't send blessings, they just feel like their ankles and knees, they're blessed!

And that's not all that hurts Salt Lake City fans.

Karl Malone averaged 23+8 per game last season, and he was also in the top three in the MVP rankings.

But in the case of the retirement of his old partner, the lack of green and yellow lineup in the team, and seeing that it will only get worse year by year, although Ma Long did not choose to retire directly, his choice broke the hearts of fans even more.

Ma Long, who had just finished the last contract of his career, rejected the 4-year 66 million maximum salary contract offered to him by the Jazz almost without any hesitation!

He announced that he would be leaving the Jazz in search of a team that really has the ability to compete for a championship!

As soon as Ma Long's declaration came out, the entire alliance was shaken!

Although he is at the end of his career, this is really an MVP-caliber player!

And looking at what Malone means, it is obvious that he will accept a contract offer that is not high! He's not in it for the money, he's just for the championship!

As a result, almost half of the teams in the league are moving on to the news, and they all want to try it to see if they can get this inside fierce man.

But it's a pity that Malone has his own ideas, and most of the team didn't meet with Malone at all, so he rejected it.

He's going to compete for the championship, not to give people a day job, and all he can look at is actually just a few teams.

At least the top few contenders for the championship and the team with a complete system, and after Malone joins, there can be a significant improvement, otherwise Malone will definitely not consider this team.

Looking at the whole league, there are actually only a few teams that meet the strong contenders for the championship.

Lakers, Spurs and Trail Blazers in the West, Heat and Pacers in the East.

Except for these five teams, the other teams Malone had no idea at all.

But among these five teams, Malone actually has no choice.

It is impossible for him to go to the Pacers, and in terms of his relationship with Lin Tian, he has not reached the point where he doesn't want any dignity for the sake of a championship, not to mention that the Pacers just brought in Webb, and Malone can't even play the starter when he goes there.

For almost the same reason, Malone is unlikely to go to the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

Because the Trail Blazers have Pippen, whom Malone hates and hates, and the Lakers have just officially announced their new head coach: Phil Jackson!

For Ma Long, he feels that he can still play, and he has the ability to average 20+10 per game, so he can just hug the enemy's thighs, maybe in a few years, but now? He really can't come to this.

Therefore, his final choice is actually the two teams of Spurs and Heat.

The Spurs gave full sincerity, Popovich and David Robinson went out again, Robinson went straight to the point, directly said that he was willing to play as a substitute, and gave Duncan and Malone a hand as the sixth man, and Popovich promised to give Malone unlimited shots and let him continue to play his most comfortable and best tactics.

The sincerity of the Spurs was still very touching to Malone, and two days after he told Popovich that he needed to think about it, Riley called Malone almost at the same time.

As a well-known psychological master in the league, Riley's words are equally simple and direct.

He first pointed out directly, unless Malone is completely shameless, otherwise the only teams suitable for him in this league are the Heat and the Spurs, but the Spurs already have twin towers, even if David Robinson is willing to play as a substitute, but in the hearts of San Antonio people, the 'Admiral' will always be their king.

If the results are good, forget it, once the results are not good and do not meet expectations, then what awaits Ma Long is the defection of the whole city, and they will push the pot on Ma Long.

Secondly, Duncan is also a No. 4 style of play, no matter what Popovich promised to Malone, two people who play in the No. 4 position are together, it is difficult to be compatible, and it will be very uncomfortable to play, and two people who don't like to play the No. 5 position appear on the court together, if the run-in is not good, then who will the Spurs and San Antonio support?

Is it just two years after entering the league, at least 15 years of career, a super talent selected by the team itself, or a mercenary who has reached the twilight of his career and comes to take refuge?

Finally, the most important thing is that the Spurs' outside line was blown up by Jordan last year, and this year against any team with a top outside line, don't think about it, it will still be blown up!

Lin Tian, Kobe, Iverson, Payton, and the Suns' super backcourt combination, which one can the Spurs withstand on the outside of these teams?

Come to the Heat! The Heat are balanced inside and out, with the No. 5 position being the league's most defensive Mourning, the No. 3 position being the league's strongest Marshburn, and the No. 2 position being the top scorer Leonard! You're missing! With you, the three top muscle sticks in the 3-5 position can wipe out all opponents!

Malone was also skeptical of Riley's words, and the first question he asked was: What about Hardaway? Hardaway used to be powerful, yes, but now?

In last year's playoffs, he was definitely the worst player in the league, and there was no one! The Spurs' outside group faced Jordan and they were damn hard for two games!

Riley smiled: As long as you come, there will be no Hardaway in our team! I'm going to keep upgrading the squad and equip you and Mourning with a really top-notch, in-form playmaker to take on our opponents!

After saying this, Riley added another sentence that was very tempting for Malone.

"I'm the only one in the league who has led a team to a series to beat Lin and his team, and I know it's because of the Pacers' staffing shortages, but look at Lin's performance in the Game 7, I know how to limit him! With you alone, even if the Pacers are fully staffed next season, we can take them out! ”

This sentence really spoke to Ma Long's heart.

After a short period of thought, one of the biggest fish in the free market, decided to travel east and bring his talent to the South Coast! Signed a 1-year, 4 million-dollar full middle-class contract with the Heat!

For a time, the entire east caused an earthquake, and the 'big muscle bully' interior combination of Ma Long and Mo Ning had terrifying strength at both offensive and defensive ends! An MVP and scoring champion level scorer plus a best defensive player and a blocking king-level defensive expert, the Heat's interior team suddenly became the top in the league!

And the Heat didn't stop there!

Just a week after Malone arrived in Miami, the Heat announced another big deal!

The Heat sent Tim Hardaway, veteran Dan Marley, and three first-round picks to the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for Gary Payton, the team's leading guard for the SuperSonics, and the team's freshly signed sophomore Rubterson!

This deal is also seismic!

Hardaway has been one of the league's top playmakers for the past few years, but it was the playoffs last season that caused Riley to lose all trust in him, plus Hardaway suffered injuries and surgeries in the summer.

Judging from his age and style of play, the glory that belongs to Hardaway has passed!

With the team bent on chasing the championship, Hardaway, the absolute strength of the past, has become a burden to the team, so Riley did not hesitate to trade him!

In exchange, Payton is also one of the best playmaking guards in the league in the past 10 years, and he is also one of the best defensive playmakers in the league, and the only No. 1 player in the entire NBA history to win the best defensive player.

Coupled with his top-notch attack power and court vision, this guy is obviously more suitable for the Heat than Hardaway!

Even if he was actually beaten by Lin Tian many times, and was given the humiliating nickname of 'fingerless gloves', but in today's league, if you want to find someone who can limit Lin Tian as much as possible and strengthen the No. 1 position of the Heat, and find the entire league, only Payton is suitable!

As for Ruben Patterson, a sophomore who joined the trade as an additive, it was actually Riley who asked him to be included in the trade.

As for the reason, it's because Riley heard a lot of rumors about Patterson's presence with the Lakers last season.

This guy has a very poor relationship with Kobe, and has repeatedly fought with Kobe in training and even almost made a move!

Riley's eyeliner on the Lakers told Riley: Although this guy's strength is not very strong, he can definitely gain a foothold in the NBA! And the defensive ability is very good, good at biting and provoking opponents, is a bulldog-type player!

If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with Kobe Bryant was so bad, the Lakers would never let him leave the team like this.

That's why Riley took him, hoping that Patterson can be the answer to the team's number two position!

After this deal, the Heat team formed the four muscular strong men of Mourning, Malone, Mashburn and Payton to start, the four of them are fiercer than the other, one is tougher and defensible, and with the cooperation of the four of them, the Heat's defense next season is definitely the first in the league!

As for the only No. 2 position vacant for a top defender, Riley has already thought about it, and if Patterson can play to surprise himself, let him top. If Patterson doesn't live up to his name and only has one mouth, then let him sit on the bench and let Leonard continue to play as a starter.

Anyway, the real core goal of this deal is Peyton! As long as Payton can work happily with the two interior players, the Heat will definitely make the whole league scare next season!

It is worth mentioning that in addition to sending away Payton, the core of the team, the SuperSonics in the offseason, they have not renewed the contracts of two other team heroes: Schramf and Jose Hawkins!

These two people also left the team as free agents! So far, the group of people who helped the SuperSonics reach the finals in 1996 have all left the team!

Team SuperSonics, officially start the rebuild mode!

In addition to the huge moves made by the Heat, another big event in the league is Chuck Daley's announcement of retirement!

Daley, who coached the Magic team last season but was eliminated in the first round, is obviously a little disheartened, the former Pistons won two consecutive championships and coached the Dream Team, after two unsuccessful seasons in Orlando, he finally felt completely tired and bored, and announced that he would retire from the NBA stage forever.

He's going back home and enjoying his retirement.

The departure of this old handsome man is once again telling everyone that the glory and memories of the 80s are slowly fading.

This offseason, it is definitely a huge change for the pattern of the league, the Magic, Jazz, SuperSonics and other top leagues in the past 10 years began to rebuild, Jordan, Stockton and others officially left, and the famous coach Chuck Daley also left the league.

Among the top teams in the league today, the top names of the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Pacers, Lakers, Heat and other teams are all post-70s or even post-75s, Duncan, Stoudeyer, Rashid, O'Neal, Kobe, Mourning...... These people all entered the alliance after 90 years!

And the latest teams in the league to rise, such as Iverson and the 76ers, Garnett and the Timberwolves, Marbury and the Baskets, Ray Allen and the Bucks, Kidd Hardaway and the Suns, Hill and the Pistons......

The leading players of these teams have also unknowingly become newcomers.

An era belonging to the post-70s players has officially begun.

After Lin Tian sorted out the changes in the entire league, the training camp for the new season officially began!

In late September, Lin Tian drove his classic 1954 Corvette sports car to the Pacers' training gym as usual.

"Yo! Lin, my favorite buddy! How long has it been since we've seen each other? It's been half a year! "The first guy Lin Tian met was Chris Webber, who the team spent a lot of money to bring in this summer, although he did not join the Kings, but also had the nickname of 'King'!

Today's Webb has a bright face, a signature smile, and the fat on his body has been significantly reduced a lot, the top handsome guy in the NBA is back!

At least from the outside, the guy has shaken off last season's poor form and returned to his peak form.

"How much weight have you lost?" After Lin Tian high-fived, he asked curiously.

"30 pounds!" After saying this number, Webb couldn't help but shudder: "It's really a nightmare offseason!" Do you know how I've spent this offseason? I'm losing weight every day! I almost became a bunny! ”

"I've weighed 11 pounds this offseason!" As soon as Webb finished speaking, Big Ben, who had a more exaggerated explosive head and a more intimidating and indifferent face than last season, but with obvious muscle bumps all over his body, also walked into the locker room: "Larry said that I need to start this season to make me stronger!" I think I can please him! ”

This guy can be regarded as a spring breeze, he signed a three-year contract with the Pacers that year, and the Pacers have a team option in the final year, which means that if he doesn't play well, the Pacers can cut him at any time this summer.

In the past two years, this guy has played a good defensive performance, and Bird did not hesitate, took the initiative to end the contract, and re-signed him to a four-year, $17 million contract extension, with the player option for the last year!

For this price, of course, Big Ben is very happy! Especially since he still took one year less of his final salary and earned an extra year! This contract not only promoted him from a marginal person who was originally just a precarious person who could completely disappear in the league at any time, to a multi-millionaire!

What's more, he still became a multi-millionaire a year early!

Such an interesting Bird, why didn't he train himself to death to repay the kindness of his encounter?

Because of this initiative to renew his contract early, Big Ben almost didn't go anywhere this summer, and he was crazy in the gym to hone his body so that he could play a perfect performance in the new season!

Of course, if Big Ben asked Lin Tian what he meant, Lin Tian would definitely tell him that you had been fooled! Bird, this bastard, has more dirty water in his stomach than you have all the muscles in your body!

His early contract extension is to let Ling get a high salary a year early, but if you continue to improve this year, wait until next summer, he will face the competition of the entire league!

In case there really is some crazy person who will give Big Ben a contract of 4 years and 3500 or even more, will Bird match or not? Don't you want to die when the time comes?

In the final analysis, Bird took the initiative to renew his contract a year in advance, or to save money!

O old fox!

That is, a guy with a few eyes like Big Ben, not only will he not be angry, but he will also treat Bird as Bole!

Then Davis, Christie, Carter, and others walked into the locker room, smiling and greeting each other.

Looking at everyone's body shape, Lin Tian is very satisfied, my brother obviously hasn't put down training for several offseasons, everyone's body shape is maintained well, at least no one needs to waste a lot of time in order to lose weight!

Soon, the dressing room was full, because it was training camp, so there were still 7-8 new players on non-guaranteed contracts, and they had to do their best for a chance, a chance to stay in the team! Show yourself, make an impression on the players and coaches so you can stay in the league!

After everyone arrived, Lin Tian was also the first to get up and said loudly: "Let's go, our new season has begun!" ”

In a burst of cheers, the players followed behind Lin Tian, and a group of small No. 20 people walked towards the direction of the training ground.

Waiting for them there were the Pacers' coaching staff, team doctors, and physical therapists, who had apparently been waiting for a long time under Bird's leadership!

The sharp-eyed Lin Tian found a familiar face in the coaching staff at a glance.

Well, no, in the current perspective, it should be a fresh face.

Rick Carlisle!

The future meritorious coach of the Pacers, the future NBA top coach who led the Mavericks to the 2011 championship!

As if noticing Lin Tian's eyes, Bird introduced directly: "Let me introduce you to our new head coach: Rick Carlisle, he used to be my teammate in the Celtics, and we won the championship together. ”

"He's been an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers for the past few years, and he's done a great job! It took a lot of work this year for me to poach him from the Trail Blazers! ”

Looking at Carlisle, Lin Tian knew very well that this guy was basically the next coach of the Pacers, and Bird obviously wanted to cultivate his successor, and then concentrate on management to shine.

The position of coach, for Bird, is still unable to persist for a long time, his body and serious back injury have made it impossible for Bird to travel long distances and sit on the sidelines for many years to coach.

Well, of course, with Lin Tian's understanding of Bird, the reason why this guy is in a hurry to find a successor is most likely still boring, bored to play, and wants to concentrate on being the general manager, and wants to change to a new way of playing.

It seems that Bird's days as head coach are numbered, 1 year, at most 2 years, he will definitely give way and run away.

However, Carlisle is also one of the top coaches in the NBA anyway, and there is not much difference between him and Bird.

After the initial meet and greet session, the team immediately threw themselves into training!

This season, the Pacers' personnel changes are still not small, many players are either traded or left, plus new arrivals, and changes in the starting lineup, the Pacers' training camp, players need to adapt to a lot of things!

Fortunately, the main framework of the team has not changed, and the team's style of play will not change, it is still based on offense, offensive and defensive conversion and fast offense as the main style of play, after joining Webb, the league's most versatile and gorgeous power forward, the Pacers' offense is destined to be more gorgeous and elegant than last season!

They've got everything in place for the league to see just how strong this brand-new, vengeful Pacers team really is!

It's worth mentioning that Lin Tian didn't see the team's only takeaway from the June draft in the training camp: Manu Ginobili.

Lin Tian also went to ask Bird, it turned out that after Bird watched the video of Ginobili in the Italian League, he admitted that Ginobili's talent is indeed not bad, but he is indeed a little tender, and his ability in all aspects is also a little less interesting.

In addition, Ginobili himself wants to hone a little more in the Italian league, so he did not join the team this year!

Lin Tian didn't have anything to say about this, if he wanted to hone it, then practice! Anyway, there is no shortage of people on the outside of the team now, and it is indeed more appropriate to come back after Mullin retires and Miller's form declines further!

During the one-month training camp, the players sweated like rain, trained hard, familiarized themselves with the tactics and playing styles assigned by the coach, improved their weaknesses, and strengthened their strengths.

The main players are trying to adapt to the new style of play and new tactics, the fringe players are desperate to find their place in the team, and the coaches are also busy trying new tactics while adjusting and changing their tactical system according to the actual situation.

As for the physiotherapists and team doctors, they are also firing on their firepower, taking every opportunity and time to recover and observe the players, so as to prevent them from getting injured or experiencing severe fatigue due to the sudden increase in training volume.

In late October, the month-long training camp was finally over, and all the players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the hard work of the training camp was not just physical exhaustion.

The players also have to constantly grind with new teammates, new tactics, and memorize the new playbooks issued by the team, which can be much more difficult for some players than training!

But fortunately, it's all over.

It was on the last day of training camp that Bird announced the final 15-man roster for the new season!

The guy, who has always liked to cut through the mess quickly, didn't wait until the end of the preseason to announce the roster like most teams in the league do, and he didn't think it was necessary.

After training camp, Bird has been able to clearly see who is right for the team and who isn't.

Instead of giving those fringe players false hopes, let them go a week early and give them a chance to find a new team and try again!

After Bird announced the squad, naturally some people were happy and some were worried, and some people were excited and cheered loudly, glad that they had managed to stay on the team and keep their jobs.

But many more still lamented, sat on the ground for a long time and refused to move, unable to believe that they were unemployed.

Similar scenes are destined to be repeated in the following week, among all teams in the league.

A few people achieve their dreams and become regular players in the NBA, but many more fail to pursue their dreams and go overseas or in the development league to find opportunities.

What's even more brutal is that even the few who achieve their dream of becoming an NBA player have more than 80% of them having little playing time at all, spending night after night on the edge of the bench in garbage time and then all of a sudden, without anyone noticing, just disappearing into the league.

This is the most authentic and brutal side of the NBA.

After Bird announced the Pacers' final roster, the Pacers' 15 players are as follows.

Centres: Ben Wallace, Sam Perkins, Zahn Tabak.

Power forwards: Chris Webb, Rashad Lewis, El Harrington, Dale Davis.

Small forwards: Doug Christie, Chris Mullin, Derek McKay.

Shooting guards: Reggie Miller, Vince Carter.

Defenders: Lin Tian, Greg Buckner, Tejus Edney.

The main lineup of this squad is not much different from last season, and the main structure of the team can be said to have not changed at all, except for the replacement of Schmitz with Weber.

The team's most important players are: Lintian, Miller, Christie, Webb, Big Ben, Carter, Davis and Mullin, and if nothing else, these eight will also be the eight players who will play the most minutes on the Pacers this season.

In addition, Buckner will most likely eat the time when the team organizes defenders during the intermission, while Lewis and Ellington will compete for the rest of the time at the 3-5 position!

Except for these 11 people, the rest of the players, whether they were forcibly pulled back by Lin Tian and promised to give him a championship, or a few newcomers, it was difficult to get too many opportunities to perform.

In particular, the team has made a lot of changes in terms of role players and players at the end of the bench, Hojborg, who performed well in the first two years, went to the Bulls to get a decent contract, and Bonhamnon and Pope, two guys who had a bad performance in the playoffs last year, did not continue to appear in the league after the contract expired, and they did not know where to go to find a job.

Their NBA career is probably over.

The team has newly hired Tejus Edney, a scoring guard who has played in the NBA and has been working in overseas leagues for the past two years, this guy is only 178 cm tall, but he has good speed and a one-handed shot, which can be regarded as Bird's firepower to strengthen the team when Lin Tian rested.

In addition, the team used some cash to buy a second-round pick center this year, Zaan Tabak, a white center with a height of 213 centimeters, which is characterized by his height, but other than that, it is mediocre.

And Bird also recalled the team's former veteran Derrick McKay, a once decent defender and scorer who is now old enough to join Sam Perkins in the latter stages of his career.

Now this lineup, whether it is Bird or Lin Tian, is very satisfied! There are changes in the team, but not much, the main framework has not been replaced, there is no problem with the tacit understanding between the players, and as for the role players, there is also a combination of old and new, experienced veterans, and energetic newcomers!

Lewis and Harrington, in particular, have shown great energy and progress in training camp, and both of them are expected to officially become part of the team's rotation this year.

In Bird's heart, he actually has high hopes for these two guys, and he hopes that the two of them will play, so that the team can use Dale Davis to flip around this year and see if they can exchange for something more suitable.

Even if it can't be exchanged, Davis, who is in a contract year this year, will definitely not have a low asking price in next offseason, and with the current salary situation of the Pacers, it is really a bit of a luxury to keep Davis as a substitute at a market price of 8-9 million.

Only if Lewis and Harrington grow up quickly, can the team continue to maintain the vitality and fighting power of the team's No. 4 position in the case of Davis' high probability of leaving.

Another very difficult and difficult thing on Bird's mind is the team's starting No. 2 position.

He fell into the troubles of bliss.

In the training camp, Carter was obviously not lazy this summer, not only the breakthrough was more rapid and ferocious, but the average 3-pointer he shot last season also showed obvious improvement!

If it were on another team, Carter would definitely be the top player in the team, but in Indiana, he obviously had to compete for a starting position.

Because the player in the same position as him is called Reggie Miller!

Miller, who returned from injury, showed a pretty good state, although Bird could feel that this guy had changed his shooting posture due to a wrist injury, and his accuracy had also declined, coupled with the problem of age, in fact, putting Miller on the bench was a more rational and correct choice.

But this is Indiana after all, he is Reggie Miller after all, and putting him on the bench, Bird, who has always been affectionate, can not do it.

We can only take one step at a time, and as the season progresses, we can slowly study how to balance the position, time and team status of these two people.

In the training camp, Bird hosted many training games, and I have to say that Webber's arrival has indeed greatly improved the strength of the Pacers!

His all-round offensive skills, starting passes, and top-notch vision on the inside all give the Pacers an extra top-notch spot outside of Lintian!

This makes the Pacers' tactical system more varied and varied, and also makes their offense more difficult to prevent!

And more importantly, although Webber's defensive ability is not very good, he has a very good nose for rebounding! He can grab a lot of rebounds, and at the same time, he can find teammates who are fast when he catches the rebounds!

His one-pass ability is definitely one of the best in the entire league! With the exception of Kevin Garnett, there is no third interior player who can match his passing ability!

Webb's pass and Lin Tian's fast attack ability combined, that is an absolutely perfect chemistry! Coupled with Christie's panacea attributes, Miller's shooting, and Carter's impact, if the Pacers want to play fast and push the counterattack, I am afraid that no team in this league can stop them.

Dual-core drive, absolutely enough to be proud of the entire alliance!

By the way, it is very worth mentioning that after Lin Tian's draft conference, he told Bird that he wanted a few MVP-level veterans to come to the team, just looking at the Pacers' lineup, I knew that Bird didn't pay attention to it at all and didn't do it at all.

After all, Lin Tian's request was too, and he didn't know what Lin Tian wanted such a veteran to do, so he decisively chose to ignore it.

As for Lin Tian......

Well, he actually forgot about it, but he wasn't angry at all.

Because at the end of the training camp, he took out his assigned skill/talent card and tried to poke Bird.

Useful!

The system apparently recognizes the fact that the coach is also a member of the team!

Allow Lin Tian to use this thing on Bird!

So, Lin Tian no longer waited and hesitated, as far as the Pacers are concerned, what other Magic, Abdul-Jabbar and other guys can bring to the team as assistant coaches? Or who can trade O'Neal or Kobe Bryant to the team?

Obviously unrealistic!

Therefore, in the case that Lin Tian is not ready to transfer, Bird is the best user of Lin Tian's card!

After returning home at night, Lin Tian bathed and changed clothes, burned incense and worshiped Jesus, and muttered a few words very impietyly, he had an idea: Anyway, it is a random opponent's signature skill/talent, as long as it is not random to Bird's trash talk ability, he will earn blood!

Anything else, anything!

"Are the hosts sure to use the specific skill/talent to draw cards on Larry Bird?"

"Sure!"

"The target is Larry Bird! Skill/Talent Draw Medium ......"

"Successfully extracted for the host!"
