Chapter 105 [team assembly]
The Clippers have signed thirteen players.
Center: Javier McGee, Deakinbe Mutombo, Masingotatt.
Power forward: Kevin Love, Josh Smith.
Small forwards: Matt Barnes, Ye Feng, Dorell Wright.
Scoring guards: Anthony Morrow, Tony Allen.
Point guards: Kyle Lowry, Mario Chalmos, Jose Baria.
The Clippers ranked 14th in the Western Conference in the new season's strength rankings predicted by basketball experts, with only the same young Thunder ranked behind them.
The ball reviewers believe that the Clippers' three positions are not qualified, and the Grizzlies' substitute Lowry is the Clippers' strongest point guard. The Celtics' substitute Tony Allen is the Celtics' substitute Tony Allen. The starting center may be Love, who is only 205cm tall. If Love doesn't play center, he will have to play McGee's starter, which will definitely be even worse. Judging from the current lineup, they will go straight to the lottery zone.
No one is optimistic about the Clippers. The only good news is that the team has sold twice as many season tickets this season than last year. The ball mi members want to watch Ye Feng and Smith dunk.
Gott's basic salary contract has team options. The Clippers first terminated the contract with him and then signed a four-year, 10 million long contract. Originally, the uniform team wanted Gott to play a basic salary for one year before renewing the contract, Ye Feng insisted that Ailier sign Gott immediately. He knew that Gott was a tough guy, at least he was a middle-class person. There was no one in the Clippers' inside this season, Gottt would have a lot of playing time, and it would be expensive if they played at the level and then signed.
In order to play the preseason, the Clippers also invited several market liberos to try out training camps, including inside veteran Brian Skinner, 8-year-old defender Jason Hart, who has never found a new club, and swinger Ricky Davis. Ricky Davis has the greatest possible xing. Last season, Davis averaged 40% of three-point shooting percentage at the Heat. But it is not a veteran who can bring good things to the team. His famous "artificial triple-double" lost his character, so no team is willing to sign him, which is not worth the loss.
On Media Day, Clippers players gathered at the training ground. In the hand-held training class, the audience was almost full. The Lakers also trained publicly on this day, and it was rare to have so many people support the game. In the front row, there was also a Hollywood star Adam Sandler. He supported Ye Feng in the training ground with a high profile, which attracted a lot of attention. Ye Feng had a good relationship with him and also participated in the premiere of the movie "Don't mess with Johan" during the holidays.
The teammates greeted each other after meeting.
McGee was the most enthusiastic, pressing Love's shoulder and laughing: "Hi, Kevin, long time no see, have you lost weight this summer?"
Love smiled awkwardly and sweated on his back. He was scolded by Ma Hong several times because of his failure to lose weight.
Ma Hong sneered from behind, "You can actually tell that he has lost weight? The effect is obvious, he has lost 4 pounds, but he has just gone to the toilet and defecates, and maybe he will get fat after a meal." McGee: "..."
When Josh Smith saw Ye Feng, he walked up and smiled and said, "Ye, I heard that you have practiced basketball for a summer vacation. What are the results?" Ye Feng smiled and said, "You will know when you are training. If you want to defend me, it will definitely not be as easy as last season." "I believe you." Smith smiled. He is here to show his goodwill.
Last season, both sides were uncomfortable with each other's defense. Smith was of monster quality, in the Hawks, because Joe Johnson had few chances to hold the ball.
Now that he is in the Clippers, he hopes to play as a small forward, but he dares not mention it.
Smith doesn't think Ye Feng is stronger than him, but he is far behind in terms of background. The news has talked about the relationship between Ye Feng and Ai Lier more than once. People think that Ye Feng actually has the power to make decisions on the team, like a small boss. According to anonymous sources in Los Angeles, most of the Clippers' transactions are carried out according to Ye Feng's idea, including asking back to Boston to be the head coach, which is also Ye Feng's intention. He has a transcendent position in the Clippers and is already a controller, not a simple team core.
Smith is not a fool, he is competing with Ye Feng for the core? I am afraid he will be traded after not having a season.
However, not everyone gave Ye Feng a face. After chatting with Smith, Ye Feng took the initiative to find Tony Allen, reached out and smiled: "Tony, from today on, we will fight side by side, make friends."
Tony Allen didn't shake his hands and said coldly: "I will go to the game with all my might, but I won't be your friend!"
"Don't be so stingy, haven't I apologized?" Tony Allen's face almost turned into an anus and couldn't accept your apology. Now the ball mi calls me a chubby brother, and many people think I only have one egg left! Fuck it!"
"No one will call you that when we come here... Ye Feng is very thick-skinned and smiled: "Tony, think about it, we two, plus Smith, are so strong in defense. We will strive for the championship in the future and have been together for a long time. Ewing and Mornin fought hard on the court, and later they both became good friends.
Ewing was even willing to donate kidney to Mo Ning, they would not know each other without fighting! We are the same."
Tony Allen's eyelids twitched a few times, and said with a tilted mouth: "That's kidney stroke. If you want to donate an egg to me, I'll consider being friends with you!"
Ye Feng sighed: "Please don't always keep your genitals hanging on your mouth, okay? This is very vulgar!" (Are you the most vulgar?)
Thibodeau was already fainted when he listened to their conversation. These two people would not fight on the court in the future, right?
After the assembly, Ailier said a few words of mobilization on the court and started the first day of public training. The players warmed up under the leadership of the new defensive assistant coach Ron Adams and prepared to start a group confrontation.
The players from both Red and White teams are arranged by Thibodeau, Red Team Love, Smith, Ye Feng, Morrow and Chalmos.
The white team is Gott, McGee, Barnes, Allen, and Lowry.
The audience came to the show. Thibodeau knew the current situation and brought Ye Feng and Smith into a team to cooperate. At the same time, he also equipped a three-point shooter on the back line to ensure smooth attacks. The White team's lineup was a free combination.
Thibodeau arranged 23 joint defenses for the Red team. The offensive tactics were that Smith was at the low post, Love covered at the high post, Ye Feng attacked with the ball, and Chalmos and Morrow were looking for opportunities on the outside.
The White Team is in charge of Hardaway, so of course he arranged his disciple Lowry as the core of the offensive, and Gotat gave him a pick-and-roll.
McGee won the ball and won the ball for the White team. The Red Team quickly returned to defense. Lowry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Red Team had already set up a joint defense. Gotat covered the outside and Smith replaced Lowry at a high position.
In the first round, Smith showed his ability to defend against pick-and-roll, and his speed could keep up with the defender. Lowry failed to get rid of the defense after breaking through, and passed it to Barnes on the outside, who was suspended high to McGee, who asked for the ball at the low post.
McGee said he had a strong hope, not only wanted to score but also wanted to be handsome.
He dribbled the ball from the low post on the left and took two steps to the middle, and shot with extremely stretched movements from a long distance. His height was 213cm and his arm span reached an abnormal 228cmop. He had absolute confidence and deceiving true love.
Love really couldn't block him, but this beautiful shot was very erratic and was completely inaccurate. Smith won the backcourt rebound and passed it directly to Ye Feng who was about to go down to launch a fast attack.
The ones who returned to defense were Lowry and Barnes, who did not see Ye Feng training, and his understanding of him was still the same as last season. He stepped forward to gamble and steal. Ye Feng dribbled the ball with his left hand and his right hand accelerated and passed Barnes and rushed into the three-point line.
Lowry and Ye Feng had a summer vacation and knew each other too well. Ye Feng had already started to speed up.
He couldn't stop it at all, all he could do was dodge. Ye Feng flew past him, and the Tomahawk dunked to hit the first goal. 2-0.
The audience came to see this and applauded warmly.
Lowry broke through again under Gott's pick-and-roll, and Smith made up for defense. Lowry moved the ball and broke into the basket, and found that Tony Allen was empty at the bottom line. He immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner.
Allen hesitated for a moment and made a free shot. A three-pointer was Allen's weakness, otherwise with his defensive ability, he would definitely win the middle class. Love won the backcourt rebound and gave it to Charmos.
He slowly ran towards the opponent's halftime, and the Red Team landed in the position to fight.
Their 23 joint defense is very successful. Simply put, the role of this joint defense is to protect the inside line, prevent the opponent from entering the inside line, and always keep a low position. There are more than two defenders. Once the opponent enters the Ran line, he will immediately use strong contraction to make mistakes or make irons. The most accurate person for the white team's three-pointers is Barnes. Ye Feng is on the outside line to guard the defense, so it is difficult to obtain without a pitcher. It is difficult to crack this joint defense.
Thibodeau intends to make this arrangement, wanting the ball migrants to be more confident in the Clippers' starting lineup in the new season, and also want Ye Feng and Smith to show confidence.
Chalmos slowly passed the half with Lowry's interference, and the ball was handed over to Ye Feng who was pulled to the outside line. Ye Feng dribbled the ball and turned around. Love went to the three-point line to cover and block Barnes. Ye Feng's dribbled the ball from the right and entered the three-point line, and McGee replaced the defense.
Ye Feng practices dribbling under the double-team of Lowry and Love every day, and has developed a habit. He dreams of playing basketball at night. Now he is one-on-one with people on the court, and he doesn't feel the pressure at all. Even if he can't get over it, he is confident that he will not be intercepted.
As long as a person focuses on doing one thing, he can make progress very quickly. Ye Feng twisted his head to the left, held the ball with his right hand and shook his shoulders, and McGee immediately moved to the middle. Ye Feng did not break through and paused slightly. As soon as McGee saw it, he quickly took a step forward. Before this step was taken down, Ye Feng dribbled the ball with his right hand and took a big step with his left foot, completely passing McGee and heading towards the middle.
Gott had to come out from the basket to make up for defense, and Ye Feng jumped up gently and threw the ball into the air.
Smith, who was at the low post on the left, took off in one step and scored a dunk with one hand! 4 to 0.!.
Chapter completed!
