Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 171 171. Leading the alliance's closed "devil" training!
"Kevin and Latrier are in a bit of a bad state. During the offseason, they only focus on eating, drinking and having fun. I'm afraid it will take a long time to help them get back to their state."

"Currently, Leddy is helping Kevin with speed training. As for Latrell, he must start with weight loss, but Latrell's shooting touch in training is also very bad."

"If Latrier fails to find his touch before the start of the season, I worry that the team will be affected on the offensive end in the new season."

"So I suggest that the offensive fault tolerance of other players should be increased, so that other players can participate more in offensive training during the offseason to prevent accidents from happening."

In the general manager's office, assistant coach Raymond said helplessly.

Players overindulge in the off-season and cause their bodies to lose shape. This is a very normal thing in the NBA.

As long as the players are willing to train hard in September, their body fat will drop to the standard sooner or later.

But the state of the Timberwolves in the new season is different from other teams. In the new season, the Timberwolves will face the last node of establishing a dynasty.

At this juncture, the Timberwolves not only have to face huge external pressure, but also have to overcome many internal difficulties.

What makes Raymond helpless is not the soaring weight after the two of them overindulged during the offseason, but some hidden dangers behind the matter.

From Garnett's body, it can be clearly seen that Garnett after consecutive championships still lacks some energy compared to last season. What Raymond is most afraid of is that Garnett's state will decline in the new season.

Garnett is the core star of this team. Once Garnett's state fluctuates, the Timberwolves will be greatly affected on both offense and defense.

As the Timberwolves won the championship trophy for two consecutive years, Garnett also followed the tide all the way, until now he has basically secured the No.1 position in the league.

This situation makes it difficult for Garnett not to inflate, but the end of excessive inflation is passive and passive games. Although the new season has not yet started, this hidden danger has already appeared in Garnett.

Now that the Timberwolves dynasty has been established, the team is nervous from top to bottom, full of anxiety and anticipation for the upcoming new season.

The state of Madman and Garnett is like a basin of cold water poured directly on everyone's heads, making everyone worry about the upcoming new season.

Raymond can only pray that Garnett will train crazily this month and continue to maintain a high level of competition in the new season, otherwise the Timberwolves will have a hard time.

"There is still about one and a half months before the start of the new season. I think this period of time should be enough for the players to resume training."

"What's more, the training momentum of the rookies is very strong, and the team environment is not as bad as we imagined."

"The players have just returned to the team for training, and Kevin and others need some time to adapt."

Two consecutive years of smooth sailing have made General Manager Mike Hale more and more optimistic.

Especially with Luke sitting across from the sofa, whenever McHale saw Luke, he felt inexplicably at ease.

It seems that there is nothing on the team that Luke can't solve. As long as Luke still serves as the head coach of the Timberwolves, McHale feels that the new season will not be too bad.

Listening to the conversation between the two people who were not on the same channel, Luke took a sharp puff of a cigarette, and then slammed the cigarette end into the ashtray: "Notify the team that a full-day closed training will start tomorrow, and no one will be absent without reason, no matter Who is it, once you find out, get out of here immediately!"

Luke's tone was a bit cold, and even McHale, who was sitting across from the sofa, dared not speak out, because in McHale's impression, Luke hadn't shown his fangs to his own people for a long time.

"No one is allowed to go out during the training period. Food, clothing, housing and transportation must be arranged by the team. Even if you are free, you must give me free time in the arena."

"Raymond, go and inform everyone now. If anyone has any questions, tell him to come to me. I will approve the trade and leave the team at any time, even Kevin is no exception!" Leaning on the sofa with his brows furrowed, Luke said in a cold tone .

…………

Next, the Timberwolves team fell into a strange silence throughout September. The outside media could not contact the team at all. Even if they were squatting at the gate of the arena, they could not see any players going out.

It seems that all the players who entered the arena disappeared out of thin air, only a few cleaners left to go to work on time and leave work on time every day, entering and leaving the Target Center arena.

And when the paparazzi rushed to the cleaner who came out of the arena to interview, the cleaner hurriedly avoided as if he had encountered a plague god, and did not give the reporter a chance to ask questions.

That look is as unlucky as being interviewed by the media and about to lose your job.

The Timberwolves' unexpected move has attracted many suspicions from the outside world, among which the statement that the Timberwolves are conducting secret training is the most recognized one.

In fact, before the start of the new season, the Timberwolves suddenly closed the arena for closed training. It is not difficult to guess what the Timberwolves are doing.

It is difficult to guess why the Timberwolves suddenly conduct closed training. Even the media interviews are completely pushed out. Before the start of the season, no interviews about the Timberwolves can be seen.

And the closed training of the Timberwolves has made other teams in the league feel tremendous pressure.

As the defending champion, the Timberwolves are definitely the strongest team in the league today. As a result, the Timberwolves trained hard during the offseason to the point where they were closed, which made other teams feel ashamed and terrified.

When a team that is better than yourself trains harder than you on weekdays, this is definitely an uneasy thing.

It is precisely because of this that starting from the second day of the Timberwolves' closed training, all the favorites in the league have followed suit and started devil-like closed training.

It seemed that he was afraid of being thrown further and further away by the Timberwolves, and eventually the championship became nowhere in sight.

Even the "big shark" O'Neal, who has never liked training, didn't make any comments when he learned that the Heat would start a half-month closed training.

Obviously, it is not only the teams in the league who feel the huge pressure from the Timberwolves, but also any player who wants to win the championship.

In this way, with the Timberwolves disconnected from the outside world, such a large-scale "closed devil training" appeared for the first time in league history.

At first, it was only the Heat, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Spurs, Pistons and other favorites who followed the example of the Timberwolves in training. Later, most of the league began to refuse media interviews and arranged full-time closed training.

Except for a few teams, the closed devil training that originally caused players to complain again and again seems to have become a daily routine.

At the same time, the new season has not yet started, and news has spread that many players in the league have been injured due to excessive training intensity.

Basically every day, players are added to the injured list, making fans feel the cruelty of the NBA for the first time.

In this atmosphere, it seems that any team in the league that does not carry out devil training seems to be out of touch with the times, and people will even poke their noses and ask: "Why don't you train well?"

At present, Luke does not know that his sudden action has attracted half of the league to follow suit, and has also caused the main players of many teams in the league to be injured and reimbursed before the battle.

Otherwise, Luke would have spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm just doing closed training, but you guys insist on doing mad dog training..."
