Chapter 290 Gathering, training camp!
At the end of the summer league, the team signed a three-year contract worth $3 million with the last rookie selected in the first round of this year, Jeffrey Taylor, which expires in the summer of 228.

When it came to the official media day, the 76ers gathered in the Wachovia Center Arena, with neat personnel and strong troops.

Point guards: Kyle Lowry, Chauncey Billups.

Shooting guard: Iguodala, Ray Allen, Meeks.

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

Power forwards: David West, Joey Leuer.

Centers: Marc Gasol, Hassan Whiteside, Kwame Brown.

Media reporters and professional photographers began to take makeup photos for the 76ers.Still centered on the main theme of the black and white jersey, Ray Allen chose the No. 34 jersey.And Billups chose the No. 7 jersey because his favorite No. [-] jersey has been used by Tang Wenlong.

This made Tang Wenlong a little embarrassed, but Billups felt that it didn't matter. After all, the current No. 1 Philadelphia can be regarded as a symbol of the league.

Starting from September 9th, the 15ers started a training camp within the team.

At this time, the outstanding players who are helpful to the team in the free market are almost divided up, and there are some scattered and small transactions in the league. The teams have basically determined the lineup for the new season.

At the same time, predictions about the new NBA season began to intensify.

The first is the championship odds of major websites. After the results came out, the 76ers, who lost many generals, were not at the top of the list. It's the 76ers, the Thunder and the Spurs.

2k game company has advanced their game to 2k13. On the cover of this issue, they chose Tang Wenlong, Durant and Griffin, three representatives of the new generation of stars.

The league has gradually entered a stage of alternation between the old and the new. The stars from 07 to 10 have begun to emerge, and they have repeatedly defeated the old strong teams.

Whiteside is very concerned about the ratings and evaluations of this game. Before the game comes out, the details of the game announced one by one have attracted him.

He strongly requested 2K to announce his personal score first.

"67?" Whiteside was angry, why is his ability so low!

"This is too unreasonable. I think I should at least have an ability value above 73. 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 expressed his thoughts carelessly.Tang Wenlong was surprised to find that since he signed a new contract in the summer, he has changed a lot. He was originally a taciturn person, and he meant to replace the departed Louis Williams and become a new locker room microphone.Moreover, he often makes surprising words, and he obviously didn't think about it at all when he was interviewed by the media.

The 2k company is also very helpless when it encounters a player who is obsessed with his ability value. Usually, after they announce the player's data and ability value, basically not many stars come to ask.What can really be caused is all kinds of dissatisfaction among the fans.

Then among the players in the second period, 2k announced several players with ratings around [-].

For example, Marc Gasol has an ability value of 81 and has become the first star noticed by 76ers fans among the newly announced players.There are also Curry of the Golden State Warriors, who also has an ability value of 81, Pistons rising 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 team have already started the in-team training, and the 76ers officials took a day off to open the training to the public.

Still focusing on recovery and polishing the lineup, the 76ers' starting five tigers have not changed in any way, and the new players naturally use the lineup of the five tigers as their training content.In fact, with the basketball IQs of Ray Allen and Billups, they basically read the playbook for a few nights, and they can already have a certain chemical reaction with their teammates on the court.

Tang Wenlong was exhausted in the summer, so head coach Collins arranged for Tang Wenlong to have lighter training tasks, the total amount of which was about the same as that of veteran players like David West or Billups.As for the newcomers Jeffrey Taylor, the young Whiteside, and Jimmy Butler, Collins practiced more and more, so that they wanted to cry without tears and complained endlessly.

In-team training is inseparable from sub-team confrontation, which is divided into three-on-three half-court and five-on-five confrontation in the whole game. Tang Wenlong was pleasantly surprised to find that many players have not seen each other for a summer and have improved a lot.

"Jimmy, you're really getting stronger!"

Tang Wenlong also felt a little uncomfortable in the confrontation with Butler. Since the former became a teacher of Iguodala, he has become more and more like his master.

"Bang!" Muscles collided directly, as if two savage beasts were wrestling.

Tang Wenlong's left foot is the axis, half-turned to the left and swayed, turned to the right and lightly tapped on the floor, turned and fell back for a jump shot, Butler kept his position, jumped up to block the shot, Tang Wenlong straightened his back, stayed in the air without making a shot, and fell Only then did he throw the ball.

"Fuck, this is too powerful." The rookie Jeffrey Taylor, who was sitting on the sidelines and resting, almost dropped his jaw to the ground. When he was in college, he never saw such a player.

Even if there is, it is impossible to score goals under such a defensive intensity!He can guarantee it.

Tang Wenlong and Butler returned to the high position again, and the trainer lobbed the ball to Tang Wenlong again. Tang Wenlong turned around and faced three threats, swayed to the right, took a step to the left, and directly raised his arm to shoot a jumper.

Butler defended well. Although his wingspan was not excellent, he gave Tang Wenlong enough interference.

Tang Wenlong missed the shot, and the basketball went out of the basket.

The two exchanged positions, Butler attacked with the ball, and Tang Wenlong defended alone.

Butler hasn't been seen for a summer, and he's darkened again. His arms are obviously much thicker than when he first entered the NBA last year, and he looks even more sturdy.After taking the ball, he has almost the same three-threat posture as Tang Wenlong. He is also placed on the left waist, the left foot is the pivot foot and the right foot is tentative.

After taking the ball in the low hand and breaking to the right, Tang Wenlong followed the ground very tightly. Butler knew that if he shot directly from this place, there was a [-]% chance that Tang Wenlong would directly block it.

He stopped abruptly, stayed where he was, and after shaking Tang Wenlong's center of gravity, he leaned back and shot.

"Fallback jump shot?" Tang Wenlong's eyes flashed, and he flew up to block the shot.

Butler made a shot ahead of time, and the basketball passed through the net. It can be seen that Butler's shot angle and speed have improved in the summer. It has only been three months since he saw him, and he has improved a lot.

"The substitutes are so good, my God."

The rookie Jeffrey, who was the second substitute, instantly felt that the 76ers were full of talents, which was completely different from his fantasy after being selected in the draft.
