shooting guard era

Chapter 230 260. Goal
"Rodman?!" When Ye Han heard that Okafor had trained with Rodman for a week in the summer, he was in a bad mood.

It is true that Rodman is an exceptionally good basketball player, the best defensive player and the guy who gets the soft hand in rebounding.

However, his character and aesthetic painting style are quite unacceptable to Ye Han. Ye Han is now thinking that Okafor and Rodman have learned badly, and then make all kinds of weird boards.

Watching Ye Han's thoughts wandering into the sky, Okafor knew this guy so well, how could he not know that this guy definitely wanted to go somewhere else, and it definitely wasn't thinking of something good!
The first day of the training camp went smoothly. A large number of reporters filled the training area, locker room, and interview room.

This year the Bobcats will receive more attention than last year. You must know that there were very few training camp reporters last season, which is in great contrast with this year.

The Bobcats will once again feel the treatment they received in Houston last year, and each role player is like a big star.

David - Lee and Webster, Mark Hill and the new veteran point guard Arroyo are too nervous to speak.

When did you experience such a battle?A dozen or twenty reporters surrounded him exclusively. Before that, they only saw Bogut, Paul and others treated like this during the draft.

"No wonder Nate and Danny were so frustrated when they were drafted ahead of us." David Lee thought to himself. He was thinking of the Pacers' Granger and the Suns' Nate Robinson. friend.

Ye Han has long been used to this kind of battle, and answered some questions about the goals of this season, etc. He paid careful attention to the physique of his teammates.

You can't see the status or anything, but the size can largely determine the status of teammates in the upcoming season.

Overall, very good!

Kapono is still so thin, not gain weight.

Milicic, like other white European centers, couldn't grow as strong as a great pyrene bear, but he probably wasn't idle in Xia Tian, ​​and his lower body strength didn't suffer much in the confrontation with Okafor.

Don't worry about Hill, a self-disciplined veteran. I heard that in the summer, he exercises more of his injured parts to avoid the next injury.

Blake is still the same, and if a thin point guard like him develops a body of muscle, he may lose the flexibility he should have.

The whole team knew that White and Ye Han had a good relationship, so he got a three-year contract of 3 million yuan without options.

White is now the Bobcats most popular off the bench, the team's mascot is not as popular as him, because he is a living mascot.

The others, Ye Han, didn't pay that much attention. Hart and Sly renewed their contracts for one year, which was still not guaranteed. Whether they could stay until the end of the season was a matter of debate.

Soon, on the second day, the training camp was just beginning.

Start team training.

The core lineup has not changed, and the training of the whole team is going smoothly. Among the four new players, Arroyo is naturally the one who broke the guard line of the US national team two years ago and beat Wade and Marbury into a sieve. Puerto Rico's bald point guard is stronger.

As for the three rookies, except for David Lee, who is impressive and skilled in all kinds of inside skills, and Gerald Wallace can't be defended alone, the other two are not good.

Maxiel is not satisfactory, it is in line with his pick, a short insider who can run and jump and is as strong as a black bull. He is strong enough to play center forward, but he is too short.

Webster is undoubtedly a little disappointing. He likes singles and outside shooting, but he is not accurate. His finishing ability inside is strengthened, and his breakthrough is not strong.

In the end, the new arrivals, except for Arroyo who will soon enter the rotation, the other three are still under Bickerstaff's observation.

A few days of training camp passed quickly, on October 10th, the preseason game finally came!
……

The Bobcats' first opponent was the Eagles again.

This team is simply used to practice hand to the Bobcats, every time they lose to the Bobcats with different postures.

At the end of last season, Josh Smith was full of joy and thought that he had secured his starting position. After the All-Star Weekend, he sat in the unshakable starting position, but the team didn't know where the wind was. He was selected twice in the draft. a power forward.

The No. [-] pick will naturally start, and Josh Smith knows this very well, so the newcomer Marvin Williams squeezes him into the small forward position.

The team's approach made him more fond of mid-range shooting, and the mid-range shooting boy began to develop slowly.

There is a Marvin Williams inside, a Jason Wesley, a substitute Al Harrington and another rookie this year, Brandon Bass, and Josh Smith basically has no chance to enter the inside.

The Eagles seem to be continuing to prepare for a bad performance this year. The powerful role players have been emptied by them again this year, and a few rookies have been given a lot of playing time.

In the first two preseason games against the Eagles, the Bobcats spent most of their time honing the second team. Milicic and David Lee’s white insider combination was unexpectedly full of tacit understanding. David Lee’s soft touch and The excellent footwork made Marvin Williams play like a clown, and he let out a bad breath; Milicic became more and more confident, and the Eagles' weak inside wanted him, and he played very well in scoring and assisting.

The six core players Blake, Ye Han, Hill, Gerald Wallace, Okafor, and Kapono were all replaced after only playing for a while, but the Eagles were still unable to fight back, and the Bobcats easily won The first two games.

After playing the Wizards, Magic, Pacers and Bulls, the Bobcats didn't let the main players play much, regardless of winning or losing, just to train role players.

3 wins and 3 losses, the Bobcats have average results in the first six games.

But this is preseason, no one will seriously compete.

But the opponent in the seventh game is different. Both the coach and the players are ready to go all out to start the new season with this game!

The opponent is the first goal of the Bobcats this year - the Miami Heat!

O'Neill returns from injury!
The Heat have not been idle this summer. Apart from O'Neal's resumption of training after his recovery is the top priority, they are also extremely active in the free market.

In addition to signing Payton, the perimeter defensive gate, he also signed James Posey, a tough defensive fat man, and Anthony Walker, one of the former Celtic twin stars who performed well in the second half of last season!

Both Posey and Walker got a five-year long-term contract close to the middle class. In order to grasp the last tail of O'Neal's peak, the Heat spent a lot of money!
