Chapter 163 Team Training
"Jimmy, long time no see."

Tang Wenlong stepped forward and greeted Butler with a smile.

Butler smiled awkwardly, and reached out to shake hands with Tang Wenlong. The two looked at each other, and they both saw the peace in each other's eyes.

So a kind of emotion arises spontaneously, the guy in front of him has grown to this point.

The core of the team, the young leaders, the All-Star starters, the best second team, the most talented and potential players. Whatever it is, it will make a professional basketball player envious.

What a change in the world, it's unexpected.

Butler naturally thought of the year before last. At that time, he was still a substitute player in college. Facing Tang Wenlong of Syracuse, he refused to admit defeat and fought hard against him. In the end, he was still no match. At that time, Tang Wenlong had already shown his superhuman strength. The offensive ability is just because too many talents are covered up in the No. 1 position.

He tidied up his fluctuating thoughts, his eyes were still calm, with a sense of maturity, "Tang Wenlong, long time no see."

Tang Wenlong laughed, stepped forward enthusiastically, and hugged Butler firmly.

Collins nodded secretly when he saw the scene where the two got acquainted. A harmonious team relationship is the first step towards team victory.

Tang Wenlong turned to another rookie, Jon Leuer.

He was visibly nervous. Although he was 2 meters tall, he had fair skin and handsome looks, more like a movie star.

"Welcome, Jon!" Tang Wenlong shook hands with Leuer with a smile.

Leuer forced himself to calm down, and stretched out his hand to greet Tang Wenlong, but there was a trace of an almost inaudible trill in his voice, "Hello, Tang Wenlong."

Tang Wenlong raised his eyebrows and hugged him, "Welcome to the NBA, come on!"

The two are rookies, so they naturally attracted everyone's attention. The crowd pulled the two people to ask questions, and then extroverted guys like Louis Williams and Iguodala pulled the two people to tell dirty jokes loudly. He looked like he was following me and eating meat.

The coach saw that everyone knew each other, so he started the regular closed training in the team.

The first is the physical fitness measurement that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. For every famous NBA player, the vacation is likely to be the poison that destroys them. There are many people who have an indulgent vacation, and then come back with excessive fat content and various physical functions. , and even neglect basketball skills.

However, the players of the 76ers are all okay, there is no one who is particularly serious about playing crazy. Louis Williams was originally a thin guy, and he participated in the Drew League during the holidays. After returning, he lost three catties. The staff thought that The scale was broken and made him test it twice, much to his displeasure.

"I'm already drunk. Is it necessary to discriminate?"

Afterwards, Tang Wenlong, Iguodala and others also took measurements. The most surprising thing was Jimmy Butler, who seemed to have average physical fitness, but his body fat content was only 5%. Second to Iguodala and Tang Wenlong.

This raised Coach Collins's evaluation of Butler by one point. He has the data of Butler's draft in his hand. It can be seen that the young man must have undergone special training in the summer after being selected.

Those who work hard will always get a chance, and Butler left a good impression on the coach, although he himself didn't know what it meant.

The morning was spent in testing and basic training, and we had a nutritious meal together at noon.Seeing the two rookies frowning and eating a nutritious meal, everyone laughed happily.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered on the court again, the coach blew the whistle, and began to prepare for the intra-team match.

Intra-team matches are an important part of normal training. Three-on-three, four-on-four, or regular full-court games can be played. Coincidentally, with the addition of two rookies, there are now exactly ten players. Collins simply divided it up and played A five-on-five full-court match.

Lowry, Tang Wenlong, Meeks, Jon Leuer and Whiteside are in a group, and Williams, Butler, Iguodala, Speights and Hawes are in a group.

"It's really insidious." Tang Wenlong complained in his heart about Collins' scheming grouping. Butler and Iguodala are in a group. Is this the rhythm to kill him?

After grouping, the two teams put on different red and white training vests. Tang Wenlong's team wore white vests. He walked to the bottom line and started to serve.

Lowry pushed forward with the ball, and Tang Wenlong ran behind, thinking that he must let the coach see his summer training results.

As a result, after halftime, the curly-haired Butler came over and stuck to the side like a bulldog.

As soon as he raised his head, Iguodala not far away covered his mouth and sniggered. Tang Wenlong turned his head and knew that Iguodala must have said something to Butler. Seeing the young man's fighting spirit now Look, really drunk.

The key is that Butler's defense is really good, with good physical confrontation, clean defense and extremely high concentration.

After Tang Wenlong got the ball, he looked left and right, and the other tall rookie stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do to set him a pick-and-roll.

He passed the ball back speechlessly and returned it to Lowry.

"Hey Jimmy, I haven't seen you in two years. You are still so passionate. I like your fighting spirit." Tang Wenlong passed the ball, and chatted with Butler as if he didn't care.

Butler opened his mouth and responded, "I have long wanted to match up with you, and this will help me a lot."

Before a big character could be written, Tang Wenlong suddenly sped up, dodged Butler, and cut into the position obliquely, as fast as a bolt of lightning.

"Big" Butler was taken aback. When he turned his head, Tang Wenlong had already received Lowry's fielder.

Tang Wenlong retreated, passed Butler's side, and said with a smile: "Jimmy, in the NBA, you must not distract your attention and let your opponent say whatever you want."

Butler stopped talking sullenly, how could he have thought that Tang Wenlong would be so insidious, he was just a rookie.

However, he learned to behave well, and afterward, whatever Tang Wenlong said, he didn't answer, just pretending that Tang Wenlong was talking about stand-up comedy, and after Tang Wenlong talked for a while, seeing that Butler didn't respond, he silently gave this little brother a call. Praise, without saying a word, and started to really focus on training.

After training for a while, Collins was pleasantly surprised to discover the improvement of Tang Wenlong, the core of the team. When defending Iguodala, his footsteps moved faster, his judgment became more accurate, and his technical and tactical level also improved!

Iguodala was so annoyed by Tang Wenlong's defense that he made many mistakes. He turned around and asked Butler to get out of the way, and defended Tang Wenlong himself.

Made Iguodala even more depressed
