One Thousand Four Hundred and Seventy-Eight. Still a Strong Lineup and Hidden Dangers

There is no way to curb complacency. Sun Ce himself knows the team's problems, but complacency and confidence go hand in hand. He cannot undermine the confidence of his teammates, which may lead to internal conflicts.

Putting this aside, Sun Ce found that no matter what strategy the team chose, the coaching staff planned to reduce his pressure. The same is true for this year's reinforcements. If they can get players like Boozer or Stoudemire, As a pick-and-roll master, it can also be easier for him to fight in position.

It can be said that the success in the past two years has made their coaching staff improve a lot!

It's a pity that Bickerstaff Jr. was poached. This excellent defensive assistant was poached by Houston people to become the head coach. The salary was 12 million in three years. It would take Bickerstaff ten years to earn it without being the head coach. With so much money, no one would blame him.

Fortunately, Shane was added.

Sun Ce looked at the evaluation of his teammates' abilities. Putting aside the issue of the two bears, Sun Ce felt that it was normal for his teammates to feel complacent. Indeed, their core lineup was very strong.

"Buddha, ability evaluation is A, offense is A-, defense is A+, three-pointer is S-, mid-range shot is A (long-range mid-range shot is A+), layup is B+...

Pickled pepper, ability evaluation is A+, offense is A, defense is S-, three-pointer is A, mid-range shot is A-, layup is A...

Hei Panda, ability evaluation is B+...

Bai Panda, ability evaluation A-...

Painter, ability evaluation is B+, attack is C+, defense is A+...

Teacher Tony, ability evaluation is B, attack is C-, defense is S-...

Yi Muhualian, ability evaluation A-, offense A, defense B, three-pointer B+, mid-range shot A, layup A, speed B+, strength A-, jumping A-..."

These seven teammates, plus his grandson, the eight-member core lineup is indeed strong!

It is said that Yi Jianlian, who went to participate in the Asian Championships this summer, actually achieved a quasi-first-class level with three points, which was really unexpected!

Although it will reach the edge of first-class level, it is also very awesome.

Sun Ce feels that the team's current problems have three major difficulties.

Without Nash's rotation, the inevitable complacency caused by the obvious improvement of young players after two consecutive championships, and the physical condition of the Mesozoic and veterans who have reached at least the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years.

The most critical thing is the last point, which was obvious in the regular season last season!

The other 6 teammates are also pretty good.

"Sean Livingston, ability evaluation is B, offense is B+, defense is C-, three-pointer is B, mid-range shot is B+, layup is A, passing is A-, speed is A, strength is C+..."

Although the defense is indeed a bit poor, he has various offensive methods. He is still accurate in catching and shooting three-pointers at a good level. He has a good mid-range shot and there is nothing wrong with playing the second or third point guard.

There is also a dexterity in the low post shot, which Sun Ce wanted to learn. He had tried Livingston's post shot, but he didn't shoot well at first, so he gave up and went to practice the low post turn hook; high post shot Kobe Bryant and Boss Joe learned from Sun Ce.

"Patrick Beverley, ability evaluation is B+, offense is C+, defense is A+, three-pointer is A-..."

Beverly is what surprised Sun Ce the most. This progress cannot be said to be rapid, it is simply a leap!

He has no other advantages, just three strengths: ball control, three-pointers, and defense. He has no other abilities.

There are also problems, that is, he can only play point guard, which is a shorter, thinner version of Mr. Tony with a three-pointer.

Sun Ce feels that for a team that doesn't need a point guard to organize the offense, Beverley can start.

Plus B-level Prince, C-level Gobert, C+-level Hardaway Jr., and B-level Richard Jefferson.

If he hadn't won two consecutive championships, he wouldn't have been so tired and proud, and Sun Ce would have felt that his team was really strong.

However, after Sun Ce had rested, he returned to the half court he occupied to practice shooting, and watched him doing aerobic black and white double fat exercises on the wooden box in the gym...

"Take your time, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge..."

Although Sun Ce feels the pressure, he still has confidence. He is worried about the problems he may encounter and the problems he will definitely encounter, but he is still very confident in himself and the strength of his teammates.

…

…

Although the league stipulates that training camp will start on October 1, it only stipulates that if players do not report at that time, they can be fined or even terminated from their contracts.

It is said that the training camp will start a week early next season, mainly because time is too tight. A new broadcast agreement was just signed at the beginning of this year. Some teams that do not have their own arenas have to communicate with the arenas to negotiate an extension of the arena lease, which is only possible. We can negotiate a new contract for next year. This year, the owner of the arena has already made all the arrangements outside of the NBA schedule and rented out all the rentals.

Teams with good discipline, or teams with goals, will start training camp early.

The Grizzlies are one, and the Lakers over in Los Angeles are also one.

The Lakers started training camp early on the 20th. James came to play for the Lakers and received higher attention than before.

Finally, on the 25th, James gave his first interview after joining the Lakers.

When asked about how to cooperate with Kobe and Leonard, James said that he would learn from Magic Johnson to play point guard.

When Sun Ce saw the news, he spat out the phrase "riding on a horse"...

Although I have this premonition, but! After James really wanted to play point guard, Sun Ce still wanted to curse.

This is a shame! So tall and strong!

The angry Sun Ce found Beverley, Livingston, Tony, and Hardaway to practice low-post back-to-the-basket in turn... He vented his anger with his size and weight advantage.

...

As time went by, Sun Ce and his teammates gradually moved from individual training to tactical cooperation training.

The inside partner changed. It was no longer a double bear combination. It was too slow. Larry Sanders and Randolph, Gasol and Prince, Larry Sanders and Yi Jianlian, the focus was on these three inside partners.

Gobert was slow... He had good speed for the same height, similar to Hibbert, with good height and wingspan, and his awareness looked excellent in training, but he was still far behind Larry Sanders for the time being.

However, since Larry Sanders was suspended for 5 games, Gobert would get a chance to play at the beginning.

On October 2, good news finally came for the Grizzlies!

In the morning, Sun Ce was practicing pick-and-roll with Gobert, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders under the guidance of Stockton. Old Hardaway found Sun Ce and Stockton and told them to go to the office.

After arriving at the office, Sun Ce learned that the NBA had just announced that the Clippers and Boozer had reached an agreement to buy out Boozer. Boozer voluntarily gave up his salary of 6 million. The league pardoned Boozer's remaining two years of 26 million contract. Boozer will enter the stage of being claimed by the league teams!

After some discussion, everyone felt that Boozer was a good reinforcement choice, and the Grizzlies immediately offered 2.72 million US dollars!
