From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 68 Team Training Camp
In twos and threes, everyone found someone who matched their appetite, chatted, and Al Horford and Gordon Hayward also got together.

The two of them can get together because of women, but not the women in the nightclub, but their respective wives.

Al Horford and Gordon Hayward are both recognized as good men in the league. The main reason they are recognized is because each has a beautiful wife.

It's a coincidence that the beautiful wives of the two of them are actually best friends.

Horford's wife Emily Vega is a model, and Hayward's wife Robin Hayward dreams of becoming a model. The two met in the NBA audience.

The two who met in 2015 are very close as girlfriends, so Horford and Hayward have also met a lot. Although the two cannot be called brothers, they are still closer than ordinary friends.

"How do you think Jiang feels?" Horford asked in a low voice.

"He is very confident, not stage-frightened at all, and very mysterious. Frankly speaking, I need to get along with him for a while to understand this kid." Hayward asked, "What do you think?"

"I agree with your point of view, and I can't see through him. He seems to hide something deeply, and I think his eyes are very sharp and aggressive." Horford said carefully.

"Oh? Where is it specifically reflected?"

"I think he's the kind: You respect me, we can be ordinary friends, if you don't respect me, I will find a way to tear you to pieces."

Horford was able to discover these problems just by listening to a few words from Jiang Hu. His keen observation and thinking skills are also the reason why his physical fitness can always become an important task for a team...

"Do you think he's good enough to start?" Horford asked.

"Of course, man, you didn't see him in summer league, it was amazing, he should definitely be a starter."

Hayward looked at Horford with extremely incredible eyes, a little curious why he asked the question of whether the No. [-] pick could start...

What are the conditions, to choose the No. [-] pick as a substitute?
Hayward and Horford were chatting. On the Jianghu side, the first meeting with teammates was also very harmonious, talking and laughing, and talking and laughing happily.

Although he has never played with a woman in the United States, this does not prevent him from joining the ranks of bragging.

Everyone knows that Jiang Hu has a high status in Anji's heart. In recent years, Anji has not shown any intention of leaving the team. Even for Anji's sake, this person cannot be offended.

Other new players are not treated as well as Jianghu. Caruso, a player who was undrafted and entered the league, looks like a substitute among the substitutes, and there is nothing to make friends with.

Point guard Terry Rozier looked at Caruso with even a little hostility.

Although one of the two is a point guard and the other is a shooting guard, both of them spend their time as guards. Last season, the Celtics had Thomas Jr. and Smart as point guards. Rozier often They have to play as a backup shooting guard, and the playing time is not very long.

With a guard like Caruso coming again this season, his time is destined to be squeezed.

Everyone chatted briefly, and the time came to 8:[-].

At 8:30, no more, no less, Stevens came to the training hall.

The people who were chatting stopped their voices almost instantly, and all looked at Brad Stevens.

Stevens coughed softly and said, "Let me introduce myself, Brad Stevens, the head coach of this team."

"This year is my fourth year coaching this team. In the previous three years we have entered the playoffs. Last year we reached the Eastern Conference finals. This year our goal is to go further, enter the finals and compete for the championship. "

"Gentlemen, are you confident?"

"Yes!!" Shouting slogans without money, everyone's voices became louder.

Stevens nodded: "Very well, I am very satisfied with everyone's attitude. You seem to have the temperament that a champion should have."

Hearing the head coach's praise, everyone in the audience showed a look of satisfaction.

"However, championships are never easy. There has never been any team's championship that was shouted out by mouth. Gentlemen, do you think it is or not?"

"Yes!!" The crowd responded loudly again.

Anyway, no matter what the future holds, it is always right to have a positive attitude and leave a good impression on the head coach.

"Everyone, what is the most important thing about a championship team? Who can answer me."

"Defense!!" Al Horford yelled. He is a person who has experienced it. At the beginning of training camp last year, the coach also asked this question.

"Yes, defense."

"Defense is the most important thing for a championship team. Only defense can destroy the opponent's self-confidence. Only defense can make people fear!!"

"Therefore, our first goal of this training camp is to train our defense. Three months after the start of the new season, we will become the team with the highest defensive efficiency in the league. Do you have confidence?" Steven Scooter yelled.

"Yes!!" Still the same sentence, shouting slogans does not require money...

"So we are in our next 40 days of training camp, we will use more than 25 days to train our defense."

"We have to keep training and training. When it comes to the game, you have to use your defense to bite out a wound on the opponent's body, and then tear up the wound, tear it up, and swallow it with flesh and blood..."

Stevens' analogy is disgusting, but any fool can hear how much he attaches importance to the defensive end.

"The first thing I want to emphasize in the new season is to protect our rebounds, protect every defensive rebound, and prevent the opponent from easily counterattacking. The overall height of our inside line is not enough. Therefore, our team's striker and Defenders also need to participate in rebound protection."

Jianghu can hear it. This is emphasizing the team's protection of rebounds. The Celtics' current center forwards are indeed relatively short. Both Horford and Baynes are only 206cm. Theis is 211cm tall enough, but his confrontation The ability is too poor, not good at protecting rebounds.

"In the next period of time, we will focus on training zone defense and flexible defense. For this part, everyone will go to the video analyst to get a videotape. Let me watch it tonight. We will start training tomorrow. Do you understand? ?”

"clear!!"

"On the offensive end, we emphasize flexible movement and open shots. We will emphasize how to maximize the use of screens and pick-and-rolls. I will share this part with you in the video playback hall."

"Finally, I ask again, what are our goals for this year??"

"champion!!"

"Okay, I announce that the 2017/18 season, the Celtics summer training camp, has officially started."

　The post-update time is basically stable at 8 o'clock, please know.
