Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 232 Las Vegas Training Camp

On July 7th, the first training session of the Dream Ten team officially started at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. For these stars galloping in the NBA, there is no problem with their personal abilities. The style of play and familiarity with the coach's tactical style are the focus of their training.

对于没有参加过国际大赛的泰瑞克而言，FIBA篮球规则与NBA之间的差异也是他需要在短时间内尽快适应的，在6天的迷你训练营之后，最终选定的12人梦十队阵容将进行奥运会之前的热身赛，一共5场，分别是7月13日对阵多米尼加、7月16日对阵巴西、7月20日对阵英国、7月23日对阵阿根廷、7月25日对阵西班牙。

In the training hall where the Dream Ten team had its first training session, Tyreke was wearing the No. 65 white Team USA training vest, communicating with Durant, Westbrook and others on the sidelines. Durant and the others had just played in the playoffs Tyreke's Kings team was eliminated in the game, but everyone has a good relationship off the court. Now that they meet again in the national team, they naturally teased each other again.

From Tyreke scoring 61 points in a single game on them, to the All-Star Game and then to the playoffs afterward, Westbrook has been clearly screaming with Tyreke. He put his arm around Tyreke's shoulder and teased Said: "Terek, how does it feel to join the national team for the first time? It doesn't matter, I am a veteran who participated in the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, I will take you with me." He said and patted Tyreek earnestly .

Tyreek frowned and glanced at the triumphant Westbrook, "Old man? Don't play as well as me on the field." Tyreek responded mercilessly to Westbrook.

Just as Westbrook was about to speak, the voice of Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Dream Ten team, came from a distance, "Everyone come and gather!"

Everyone who participated in the mini-training camp stood in front of the old coach K, "Okay, today we started the first training session for the London Olympics. Among you, there will be a 12-man roster for the London Olympics. 9 places have been confirmed, and another three places will be produced in the next few days. Today is the first day. We will not conduct group confrontation, but mainly conduct physical training. In the next few days, our coaching staff needs to get familiar with you Everyone, we have only one goal, the Olympic gold medal!"

After that, everyone officially started their own training. For these NBA stars, these trainings are commonplace. What is different from usual is that the teammates around them have become other first-line stars in the league. But for the fans on the sidelines , The scene where so many stars gather together is rare.

The first training session of the Dream Ten team is open to the media and fans, but it does not mean that future training will also be open. After all, the first day is just to let everyone get to know each other and warm up for the future.After the first day of training, the stars were surrounded by fans when they left the training hall. Of course, the most popular ones are superstars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. This point can be seen from the media after training. It can be seen from the interview that the reporters surrounding these two people are definitely the most.

Of course, Tyreke has to be mentioned. Although Tyreke has only experienced three seasons in the league, his popularity at this time can be said to be the top in the league. Except for Kobe and James who have been in the league for many years and have He is a gold-lettered figure in the league. Tyreke's popularity can be said to be the highest in the entire American team. Judging from the reactions of the media and fans, Tyreke's limelight at this time is even higher than that of the team who is aiming to compete with James for No.1 in the league. Durant is even worse.

In the next few days, the training intensity of the US team in Las Vegas gradually increased. Group confrontations and intra-team training games began, and the team's training was no longer open to the media. The relationship between teammates is close day by day, and at the same time, they gradually adapt to the rules of FIBA ​​basketball. Tyreke also has a deeper understanding of the head coach Mike Krzyzewski. This well-known NCAA coach does have his own unique style. Few of them can do well in combining 12 top NBA star players. At the same time, his knowledge of the game has also made Tyreke see his eyes. The leadership of Coach K is also It affects Tyrek all the time.

On July 7, the US team had fully finalized the final list of 8 players for the London Olympics and held a press conference. At the same time, they took a family portrait of the Dream Ten team in Las Vegas.In addition to the previously determined 12-man roster, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, and Andre Iguodala filled the last three spots, James Harden, Rudy Gay, Eli G. Gordon and this year's No. 9 pick Anthony Davis are included in the substitute list. Once one of the 12 players withdraws unexpectedly due to injury, they will be selected as substitutes.

At the press conference, the coach of the U.S. team, Coach K, bluntly said that this team is extremely comprehensive, from offense to defense, and everything you can think of in this team. No longer keeping a low profile, he declared that this American team is extremely terrifying and has amazing athletic ability. Compared with the Dream Eight team in 2008, this Dream Ten team is deeper and more talented.

The US team will play an exhibition warm-up match in Las Vegas and the Dominican team on July 7, followed by warm-up matches in Washington, Manchester and Barcelona. The first game of the US team in the London Olympics is 12 The contest with the French team on the 7th.

In the warm-up match with the Dominican team, the Dream Ten team showed their strong strength for the first time. Although it was a warm-up match and the US team did not give full play, but facing the Dominican team with a huge gap in strength, it was easy. Defeated the opponent with a huge score difference of 54 points. Coach K gave each player enough playing time to find the feeling of the game in actual combat. Tyreke came off the bench for 18 minutes and scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists good data.

Just as the U.S. team got off to a good start in the first warm-up match, it suffered a serious blow. During team training, Blake Griffin accidentally sprained his left knee and was later diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee. Arthroscopic surgery at the beginning of next week will also mean that Griffin will miss the London Olympics that begin later this month.

Under such circumstances, Anthony Davis, who has not participated in an NBA game, was ordered to replace Griffin in the London Olympics. The US team is still preparing for the warm-up match for the London Olympics. The time for the annual sports event is getting closer and closer.
