Chapter 360 Meeting the New Aids
While they were chatting, slowly, the time for training had arrived, and the Clippers players appeared in the training hall one after another, except for the pair of "security guards" like the coaching staff, An Sheng and Chris Paul, who came The earliest ones were obviously a few newcomers who had just joined the Clippers.

The earliest one came was Ray Allen. He is no longer the core of the top ten teams in the Sonics. He has reached his twilight years. He entered the league in 08 and has been preparing to play in this place for 09 seasons, but it can be seen from his training that he has never stopped his pace for his body and shooting skills.

This is a player who is strict with his body and skills, but when he came here, he was still a little surprised when he saw Chris Paul and Anson. He didn't expect them to come so early.But he didn't come to talk to him, but started his daily training silently.

The three-pointer is very accurate, the hand shape is very standard, and the shooting speed is very fast. This is Ray Allen's first impression on Anson and Chris Paul. His 100 three-pointers were all completed in 4 minutes. At the same time, Anson's shooting percentage of 100 out of 91 made Anson very unbelievable.

This hit rate is completely unbelievable to him. In his daily training, he usually hits more than 80 at best. At this time, Ray Allen has not carried out his normal warm-up, but his It felt hot to the touch. , It is conceivable that after a full warm-up, Ray Allen's three-point ability is unimaginable.

Immediately afterwards, two players from New Orleans, Xavier Henry and Anthony Davis, walked into the training hall hand in hand. When seeing Anson, Anthony Davis showed a very excited smile. The eyebrows look like they are going to be joined together.

The two never met each other when they were determined to become the strongest striker partner in history, but once they met, An Sheng could feel a static physical talent stronger than Blake Griffin. 210cm tall, super long wingspan.

Soon, Anthony Davis let Anson see how good his athletic talent is.

Blake Griffin is considered to be the most athletic No. [-] pick after LeBron James, but judging from just a few minutes of training, Anthony Davis does not seem to be inferior to Blake Griffin at all. The rhetoric I released at the beginning of the season gave me a lot of confidence.

And Xavier Henry, to be honest, in this transaction, he may be the player with the least sense of presence, and he can even be regarded as a superficial existence, in the hearts of most Clippers players , there is no place for Xavier Henry. Although he entered the league in the same year as Anson and Eric Bledsoe, after two years of development, he was originally a lottery pick. Showing his potential, Eric Bledsoe, who was originally the 18th pick, has become an important rotation for the Clippers.

However, An Sheng has a full understanding of this opponent who has played against in the NCAA. He has good breakthrough ability and mid-range shooting ability. He is not a small threat when holding the ball. But also, as a guard, his three-point ability has become his biggest problem. .

Three-pointers are not stable enough. In this era when three-pointers are becoming more and more important, this is definitely a fatal injury for defenders.So at this time, he was also very smart. As soon as he came to the training ground, he went to Ray Allen, and wanted to solve his biggest problem with Ray Allen.

Immediately afterwards, there was Matt Barnes, who looked vicious. He played very well in the Lakers last season. He wanted to stay in Los Angeles, but the Lakers did not have his position. Also for the ring, he chose the fast Ship, this is a very competitive team this year.

Ryan Gomez is a good player in the regular season and can be a substitute for the three and four positions, but in the playoffs, his advantage of being able to swing the two positions has become his disadvantage. , Playing the third position is too slow, playing the fourth position is too short, the strong confrontation in the playoffs is not only about whose strengths are stronger, but also whose weaknesses are less.In last year's finals, the Heat's players shot more than 55% of their shots on Ryan Gomez's head, and this cannot be made up for by his activeness.

Matt Barnes will undoubtedly become Anson's first substitute. He has a good three-point ability with good firepower, and he can be regarded as a good defensive ability in the third position. There is no doubt that when Matt Barnes is in the Clippers team, what careful thinking do you have to use on Anson and Chris Paul, then you have to weigh in your heart whether you are enough for Matt Barnes. Barnes was beaten up.

The last one is Chris Kaman, who also just came back from Germany. He returned to this familiar training hall, but he found that most of the people have changed just because of knowledge and a season, and there are only a few familiar teammates. Even the coach who abandoned him in the first place is gone.For the Clippers, Chris Kaman has made great contributions to them, whether it is as the largest part of Chris Paul's contract, or returning to the Clippers with a lower salary this year. important for ships.

"Welcome back, Chris." An Sheng walked up with a smile, and it was not in vain that he called to invite him this time, "Believe me, in Brad's lineup, no matter what kind of player he is, you can find him." Own a place, and so are you."

Chris Kaman smiled: "Of course, my goal this time is the ring. Also, I don't like to just lie down and win this championship."

With the sound of conversation, the Clippers players came into the arena one by one. They all had a strong murderous look. The new players may not feel it, but most of these old players are interested in last season's champion. They are still full of dissatisfaction, the locker room crisis, the lore overtime, and maybe the most bloody things in the finals have all been encountered by them. For them this year, as long as they are not champions, they are failures. Willingly, the new aid wants to be on top, which also makes this training camp full of vitality.
