One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Nine. It Should Have Been Like This a Long Time Ago

Gobert is indeed gifted, and has reached the level of a quasi-defensive team on the defensive end. He has made a big step forward this year. Sun Ce estimates that in another year, Gobert will most likely be included in the best defensive team.

The core lineup is intact except for the defensive combination of Randolph and Larry Sanders, and there are some new teammates with characteristics. Sun Ce is full of expectations for the new season.

The team is quite satisfied with the physical and technical tests at the beginning of the new season, and there is no need to worry about others.

Yi Jianlian and Gobert played in the national team in the summer, and their condition is definitely online.

Sun Ce, Carter, Aldridge, Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Paul George, these people are all very hard-working players. Even Carter, who is not known for his hard work, has a comprehensive shooting ability. I don’t know how much time he has spent on training privately.

What do the new players come to their Grizzlies for? Of course, it’s for the championship!

Low salary, unstable playing time, and they have to make contributions whenever they play. The latter two are the requirements clearly put forward by the Grizzlies when they met with them, and they also agreed. In this case, there is no need to worry about their condition.

What we have to worry about is the problem of running-in. Tomorrow is the 18th. After a day of rest, the 12-day training camp will start on the 19th. The next 7 preseason games are very important!

David Fizdale, Brian Shaw, and Hollins have been working hard to adjust the overall playing style in the three summers. They have been constantly adjusting according to the latest situation of the team lineup. Their goal in the new season is still only the championship!

But Randolph still gave the team a huge surprise. He is in very good condition, which means that he has maintained a good weight.

It’s just that Randolph’s temperament... God knows whether he will play seriously in the regular season. He may play against the opponent he wants to play or when he is broadcasting live in the United States, but he will probably be lazy like last season.

However, the Grizzlies did not expect to achieve the same record as last season, so Randolph wanted to take a rest, and the team was willing to do so to avoid injury. After all, he is 34 years old.

Of course, the most surprising thing is Sun Ce's progress.

No one on the team can understand why those superstars teach Sun Ce so hard. When Sun Ce brought Stockton back as a trainer, the team already thought it was incredible. Even Jordan helped Sun Ce practice defense... The other people Sun Ce consulted were Jordan's opponents. The management can understand this, but Jordan... Sun Ce was aiming to surpass Jordan!

Robert Pera defined this situation as-unique charm.

…

The annual dinner before training camp was very pleasant. As the defending champions, the old players saw that most of the most powerful teammates stayed, and Larry Sanders went to get a quasi-maximum salary. There was nothing they could do. They chose to bless them. The days of winning the championship together were very pleasant, especially for the players who won the championship for the first time. It was a wonderful memory that was hard to forget.

The new players, seeing such strong teammates, even Mo Williams, who had partnered with James, were excited about the team's strength. After all, in the regular season champion Cavaliers team that year, apart from James, the best player was Mo Williams...

It was a completely different feeling! Mo Williams felt that their Cavaliers team had nothing to do with the championship that year. Sun Ce was much better than James back then, and his teammates were so strong.

On September 19, the training camp began. The Grizzlies put the media day and the regular season makeup photo shooting in the first two days. The team manual for the new season had been sent to the players on the physical test day, which was the day before yesterday. It recorded the main tactics in the team framework. Most of them did not change much from last season, and there were many details adjusted. After the interviews, makeup photos were taken, and the interviews were done, the remaining 10 days would eliminate interference and devote themselves to tactical training.

Three development players with two-way contracts also came to the team to participate in the media day and the team makeup photo shooting.

Next, they will also train together in the training camp and preseason. In case of injuries in the middle of the season, they will have to take the lead.

However, this year, the Grizzlies changed two of their three development players.

Russ Smith does not have the strength of an NBA professional player, so he went to play in the Israeli league; Ding Yanyuhang performed well in the summer league, and entered the NBDL at the age of 21. It was also a subsidiary team of his own team. He had a development player contract and the coach gave him a chance. Compared with a year ago, he did not say that he had transformed, but his progress was indeed greater than that of playing in the CBA in the past few years. Last week, he received an offer from the Mavericks and joined the Mavericks with a rookie base salary of 680,000 US dollars a year.

However, JaMychal Green, who played the best in the NBDL last season and won the Finals MVP, refused the offer of 680,000 US dollars a year from the Pistons. He wanted to stay with the Grizzlies and wait for opportunities.

With such a contract, it is likely that he will sit on the bench in the NBA or be relegated to the Development League. JaMychal Green chose a stronger team, hoping to stand out.

Although money is important, there are always people who are willing to pursue their dreams, such as Whiteside, who played in overseas leagues and got 2 million US dollars a year, but he had to try to return to the NBA every year to get a base salary.

The other two development players are Jarnell Stockton, whom the Jazz selected with the 19th pick in the second round. The Jazz gave up and the Grizzlies signed him with a development contract; the other is Briante- Weber, this year's undrafted player, was signed by the Grizzlies on a development contract.

When Sun Ce saw the names of these two new teammates, he felt that his team was really good enough. Just looking at the names of Stockton + Webb, this team played in the Development League...

The media day was carried out in an orderly manner and the familiar process made Sun Ce feel that the new season is really about to begin!

On Media Day, the three most authoritative media outlets, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and . teams, the rankings of the remaining 25 teams will be announced in reverse order on October 14th.

But the player strength rankings are very special. In addition to announcing the 11 players ranked 441st to 431st today, the 12th player was also announced, and he was the first to be announced. At 9 o'clock in the morning when the Grizzlies media day started, The player ranked first in the player strength rankings-Sun Ce was announced!

Several years have passed, and this is the first time that the three authoritative media have been so unified. Fans have commented that if Sun Ce is not ranked first at this time, it is not causing trouble, but really destroying his own brand.

When asked about the fact that major media announced in advance that Sun Ce ranked first in the player strength rankings, Sun Ce replied: "It should have been like this a long time ago."

Not modest at all! The media didn't know what to ask next... Fortunately, Sun Ce could often give explosive answers, and the media were used to it.

Turning to Grizzlies owner Robert Pera's goals for the new season.

This is a conventional question, but Robert Pera gave an unconventional answer: "Our goal? Let you see a stronger and greater lord."

This answer is not difficult to go deeper and continue to ask questions. On the contrary, there are a lot of topics that can be extended. However, these reporters are not good at asking in-depth questions in this area! They are desperate again. How come this team has the temperament of the most powerful forward in history?

However, they had been trained by Sun Ce, and they immediately used their brains to continue asking questions...

…

…

The first place on the prediction list was announced on the first day. This is the first time in the past few years since the ranking prediction list was established!

In people's eyes, this has only one meaning - there is no suspense about who is the number one player in the league.

And such an operation will cause even more heat, because later on, when only the first few days are not announced, everyone will know who it is, and the heat at that time may not be that high. At this time, such a special operation will be even more popular. Can attract attention.

Sun Ce's words "It should have been like this", his consistent style, are rare in today's league. Few people will bluntly say that they are the strongest. Now they pay attention to "humility", which makes him so special.

And no one can refute Sun Ce's words, because he really locked in the number one active player last season, the kind that is unshakable.

However, the most popular thing was Robert Pera's "stronger lord" in an interview, which sparked heated discussions. Looking at Robert Pera's excitement in the video, he looked like the owner of the Mavericks. How has Sun Ce improved? ?

People are really used to things like Sun Ce's progress, because Sun Ce has been making progress. When Sun Ce does not make progress or deteriorates, it will become a point of discussion.

Seeing the search engine index and website traffic rising steadily, the major media outlets feel so happy that the new season has finally begun!

Although news about other teams is also very popular, there is never too much traffic. Sun Ce is the most popular one now. In addition to Nike creating new brands, commercial activities, and finding Olympic players for him during the past offseason, Sun Ce Rajuwang’s training has hardly appeared in public, and there is no news at all. The most popular news about Sun Ce is actually the gossip about Lily Collins, the live-streaming queen, selling non-stick electric woks...

Now, Sun Ce has finally returned to the public eye, and as the media expected, when Sun Ce comes back, the topic comes up and the heat comes. Originally, the new season is about to start and the heat is high. During the long offseason, the players may feel There is not enough time. Those who love to play feel that they have not played enough, those who want to improve themselves feel that there is not enough training time, and those who want to have a good rest feel that they have not rested enough. After all, the long NBA season is indeed very tiring, but fans feel that it is suffocating. Damn it, there is finally a game to watch soon!

The interviews between Sun Ce and Robert Pera raised the excitement for the start of the new season to the peak! At a time when low-key and harmony are the mainstream, Sun Ce feels that he is just telling the truth, but people think he is showing off.

Please vote for the new month!
