Chapter 605 Offseason Team Operations

In addition to 3-pointers, Ying Xiong will continue to learn and consolidate his post-up skills this offseason.After systematically learning backs with Dameng during the offseason last season, he has benefited a lot this season, especially in the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat. Wei infinitely consumes his own tactics.The intensive learning of post-up techniques made him truly become the "offensive kaleidoscope" in the league, and he won the title of the league's scoring champion for the second consecutive year.

Since he followed coach Shao Ziqiang's advice last year and specially trained his core strength, Ying Xiong has benefited a lot from the just-concluded 2012-2013 season.Therefore, the practice of core strength is also one of the training goals of this training camp.

Yingxiong's training camp is equipped with a special shooting coach, but Korver's participation still brings them a lot of help.The precepts and positive suggestions of an active league sharpshooter are of great help to the players' shooting. The shooting coach cannot tell the players how to adjust their footwork during the game and how to find the best time to shoot.

Both DeRozan and Jeremy Lin's 3-pointers are unstable, especially DeRozan, who was targeted by opponents many times in the playoffs. His 2-pointers are very accurate, but 3-pointers are not only a problem of inaccuracy, they are also inaccurate. Those who dare to shoot belong to the group of people who lack the confidence to shoot 3-pointers.The two brothers are still very motivated, and they took the initiative to ask Korver for knowledge on hand shape and center of gravity adjustment in 3-point shooting.

Although shooting requires talent, hard work can still lead to a good shooting percentage, especially if the player's original shooting foundation is not bad.

Yingxiong's training camp is in full swing, everyone is practicing very seriously, and the atmosphere in the training camp is very good.Some NBA players will choose to go on vacation during the offseason, while others will hang out in nightclubs, and there are still many players who will choose to improve themselves during this time.

Ying Xiong has already been the double MVP (regular season, finals), scoring champion, and championship member of the NBA last season, but he is still tirelessly improving himself, which makes other players in the training camp dare not slack off.Even the MVP is so serious, am I ashamed not to work hard?
Everyone in Yingxiong's training camp is in full swing, and the Raptors are also operating during the offseason.The Raptors successfully won the first championship in team history, so they are naturally more confident in their operations now.Before, they were a team that even free agents in the league were unwilling to come to. Now they can at least attract a group of players who have the desire to win the championship.

The Raptors won a championship, and naturally they will not be easily satisfied.Taking advantage of the opening of the championship window in these few seasons, they will naturally continue to strengthen the lineup, and then continue to hit the championship in the new season.They don't have too many chips in their hands, and the team's salary space is limited, so the possibility of reaping big fish in the free market is almost non-existent. Apart from trading, they can do minor repairs.

For the Raptors, the advantage is that the core members who won the championship are very young and all belong to the rising stage. There are infinite possibilities in the future. Rookies Valanciunas and Terrence Ross have become more mature after a season of training, and they will definitely provide more help to the team in the new season.Another favorable factor for the team is that the salary situation is generally good, and there are no overly expensive contracts or junk contracts.The core of the team, Yingxiong, signed with the team in the summer of 2011. The 4-year contract with a total value of 6000 million US dollars will expire in two years, and now it seems that it is also a value.Even if he jumps out of the contract next summer, the team can at least use him cheaply for one year.

DeRozan signed a four-year contract extension with a total value of 10 million US dollars with the team on October 31 last year. It will take effect this summer, and Lowry's contract will not expire until next summer.

The current highest salary in the Raptors team is Rudy Gay's 5-year $8230 million, which will officially expire in the summer of 2015. The last year's salary is as high as 1930 million, and he has player options.Considering that he is still in his prime, this contract is a bit of a premium, but it is by no means a junk contract.And as long as the team survives the next season, no matter what, this contract will become an expiring contract. If they want to trade, there will definitely be no shortage of teams interested in it in the market.For those teams that need to fill the "poor man's line" or want to free up cap space, it has no small appeal.

On July 2013, 7, the Raptors reached a signing agreement with Tyler Hansbrough, who had just become a free agent. The two parties will sign a two-year contract.As a white insider, Hansbrough is not soft at all, he is very tough, he likes to fight and fight, and he is a very hardworking blue-collar insider.

The management of the Raptors is very clear about what the team needs. The team needs to have the space to shoot inside, and of course it needs a tough inside.Moreover, Yingxiong, the cornerstone of the team, himself likes tough players.In the just-concluded finals, the picture of Bargnani being dominated by Duncan and Diaw is still vivid.

The reinforcement of the Raptors continues. On July 2013, 7, the Raptors reached a signing agreement with DJ Augustin. The two parties will sign a one-year contract worth $18 million.

As a high-ranking rookie with the 2008th pick in the first round in 9, Augustin was not included in the team's future development plan after the rookie contract ended, and began to become a wandering player.In contrast, Ying Xiong, the 8th overall pick in the first round, has already become the league's double MVP. He also led the team to defeat the Heat's Big Three, the Spurs GDP, and won the championship. It's really unpredictable.

As a point guard, Augustin has breakthroughs, shots, and passes, but his presence on the court is not strong.When he was in the Bobcats, it wasn't that he didn't get a chance, but he just didn't really play it.His problem is that as a point guard, his height of 183cm (maybe not enough) is a weakness in defense, and he does not have particularly strong skills on the offensive end (such as passing, such as shooting), so he has mediocre potential and can be easily dismissed. Replaced role players.

Of course, the Raptors used an annual salary of 126 million US dollars to take the young Augustin as the team's third point guard. Good point guard.

For the defending champion, it is not suitable to make major repairs to the lineup. The most suitable thing is to make minor repairs to the lineup and carry out targeted reinforcements while keeping the core structure of the lineup unchanged.Otherwise, it is easy to destroy the chemical reaction that has been established, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Yingxiong's training camp was announced to end on July 7 and lasted 20 days.After the training camp, he invited the players and staff who participated in the training camp to Las Vegas for two days, and held a grand party. Of course, he paid for all the expenses alone. .
