New champion coach Silver Fox Del Harris started his first team meeting in the new season. After briefly introducing the coaching staff members, he directly started the tactical explanation session, which was clean and neat.

The team manual has been sent to every player before. How much can the player remember? Silver Fox doesn't care. The current lineup is not constant. Players with fast learning speed, fast adaptation speed, and fast running-in speed will stay in the end. Those who are slower can also wait patiently. If it is really not suitable or are too lazy to learn hard, they either keep the water dispenser, or they are traded... or terminated.

Compared with last year, this year's Silver Fox's attitude is more tough. After all, he is the champion coach and his majesty has increased significantly.

Another thing is that last year, veterans gathered together, and as the head coach, everything had to be discussed, so I don’t need it this year.

Moreover, it must be strict. This strictness seems to be strict with role players, but in fact it is to urge core players to avoid slackness after winning the championship.

Since entering the modern basketball era in 1976, 21 seasons have passed. Most championships have not been able to defend their titles. There are only 5 defending times in total, including the Bulls who have won three consecutive championships. The Celtics, led by Big Bird, have not completed the defending titles. The Lakers have won only 1 in the past 6 championships.

But their overall situation this year is very good! After the tactical explanation in the morning, a physical test was conducted in the afternoon.

There are two team members who have always worried Silver Fox and are in very good condition.

It was so good that the silver fox was surprised!

One is Kenny Anderson, a veteran who was once famous for gaining 20 pounds in the summer and losing weight for two months at the beginning of the season.

Last season, Kenny Anderson controlled his weight due to the team change, but this summer he has been one of the people that the Silver Foxes are very worried about.

Looking at Kenny Anderson's best weight of 79 kg, Silver Fox was really surprised and surprised!

But this is not the most surprising one.

The most surprising thing is O'Neal!

...

"Shake O'Neal, cm, 135 kg, ability evaluation 98, three-pointer - 67 mid-range shot, layup 100, speed 83, strength 100, bounce 91, physical strength 98..."

The silver fox was surprised by O'Neal's physical condition, and Zhang Hao's eyes were wide open!

After the team's physical test was completed, the player detection report on Zhang Hao's side also came.

Compared with O'Neal's weight when he performed best last season, he gained 3 kilograms, but his speed was not affected, which means he gained weight under control. He either gained 3 kilograms purely, which proved that his strength reached the 140 kilograms when he gained 140 kilograms purely last season.

At that time, O'Neal couldn't say that he was using such power, but if he was not used to it, he would always waste extra energy and consume more.

Now 135 kilograms, 100 power, it seems that O'Neal can control the perfect power as when 130 kilograms emerge!

There is also a proof point of physical strength reserve!

At the beginning of last season, O'Neal's physical reserve can be said to be relatively bad, which can also indirectly provide feedback on O'Neal's potential injuries.

But at the beginning of this year's training camp, O'Neal's physical strength was almost the second time that Zhang Hao saw O'Neal's All-Star Weekend in the 95-96 season, that is to say...

O'Neal is seriously controlling his physical condition this summer!

From a technical perspective, there is indeed not much training, but there is training in terms of strength and reasonable weight gain. If you want to say how hard you work... it won’t be, don’t think too much, think too much.

But it can be seen that it is more serious when I came to Los Angeles to play around with 127 million yuan.

It doesn’t take O’Nealdo’s efforts, it’s just that he needs to seriously control his weight and control his physical condition. Zhang Hao is already ecstatic!

that is……

"Kenny Anderson, cm, 79 kg, ability evaluation 89..."

Another year has passed, and Boss Kenny, who will turn 27 on the 9th next month, is still stuck outside the top stars.

It is basically certain that Kenny's talent development has reached its limit.

From the weight, it can be seen that Kenny Anderson worked as hard as last summer this summer, but two years of hard work have not made substantial progress... The world of sports competition is cruel.

Many people have not yet reached the point of striving for talent, but in the world of sports competition, talent is clearly reflected.

Like the Bucks' big dog Glenn Robinson, you don't need to work hard to reach the level that Kenny Anderson can only achieve so hard now.

"Watching up, Boss Kenny hasn't retreated at least?"

Zhang Hao nodded, very satisfied.

"Jason Williams, cm, 109 kg, ability evaluation 75...rebound 98..."

"Doug Christie, cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 81, offense 78, defense 88, three-point 80..."

"Bryan cm, 90 kg, ability evaluation 76, offense 73, defense 81..."

"Derick Fisher, cm, 90 kg, capacity evaluation 69..."

"Ben Wallace, cm (?), 110 kg, capacity evaluation 60..."

Several old teammates were in good condition. Jason Williams was the same, with a cracked rebound, pure coolie offensive ability, second offense + eating cake, good physical strength, 92 physical strength evaluation.

Doug Christie's progress speed, Zhang Hao remembered the second-place point guard of the Celtics, which was too slow!

But Zhang Hao remembers that Doug Christie's peak was after 2001, which was after 30 years old... Anyway, he was a good shooting guard, just shooting, defending well, working hard, and staying at the team with a salary cut.

Progress slower... can you be slower than halibut?

Fisher is indeed not very talented, and there is no possibility of becoming a first-class star. It would be difficult to reach the level of Brian Shaw at his peak, but it is still good to be the second and third point guard.

Just a big book... was it so broken in the early days?

Forget it, it’s either he spends money to support it, or there is a little bit. Ben Wallace and Rick Fox stand together, but they don’t have much height advantage... Looking at the weight of 110 kilograms, there is something!

Zhang Hao went to read the physical test of Wallace... Sure enough, the 97 power evaluation was not for nothing.

Ben Wallace’s maximum bench press is 450 pounds! That is 204 kg! It is much stronger than O’Neal’s 410 pounds or 185 kg bench press!

New teammates

"Rick Fox, cm, 104 kg, ability evaluation 86, offense 81, defense 89, pass 86, three-pointer 85, mid-range shot 70, layup 88, speed 89, strength 87, bounce 76, physical strength 91..."

"Robert cm, 82 kg, ability evaluation 73, offense 83, defense 65, pass 80..."

"Qiong centimeters, 95 kg, ability evaluation 65, offense 63, defense 70, three-point 80..."

"Brent centimeters, 95 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 82, defense 77, three-pointers 84, mid-range shot 78, layup 91, speed 87, strength 89, bounce 98..."

"Cory Blunt, cm, weighs 107 kg, ability evaluation 68..."

"Shaan Lux, cm, 113 kg, ability evaluation 73..."

The six new teammates, Rick Fox, are blinded by the eyes, and are definitely a core player of the weak team. When he comes to a strong team, his skills and playing style are also a good tactical commander. It can be seen that he is very hard-working in training, his speed, explosive power, and bounce are not very good, but his strength and physical strength are excellent.

Just as Zhang Hao expected at the beginning, this new player, with a salary of US$1.2 million, is likely to finish the work of James Robinson, George Lynch, Jeromy Colsey, Magicians, etc. last season.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao looked at Rick Fox on the side of the training ground and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this new teammate who came to Los Angeles to work hard with an actor's dream.

After the physical test, Rick Fox, who was discussing something with Kenny Anderson and Brian Shaw, was feeling that someone was watching him.

But when I turned around, no one was watching him again, and I felt that I was too attentive.

Zhang Hao's sympathy had already been closed, so he sympathized for three seconds, and his attention was focused on other new teammates.

Cory Blunt and Sean Lux are both coolie inside players introduced. The former is indeed not very good, while the latter is OK. It is worthy of being a high-quality center who can average 11+6 in the first three years of his career. However, Garnett and Gugliotta later occupied most of the Timberwolves' playing time. The golden period of his 26 or 27 years was wasted for two years, and it should have begun to decline now.

This is normal. The center of pure physical fitness flow does not start to decline only if the physical fitness declines significantly. They will play better and better as they gradually reach the peak of physical fitness, but after reaching the peak period, they will quickly decline. Most of the reasons are because they are not used to the physical fitness that begins to decline, and the feeling of upward and downward is completely different.

And injuries.

Robert Parker...

After reading his ability evaluation, Zhang Hao deeply felt the meaning of the sentence. If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.

Zhang Hao naturally needs to know about his new teammates. During his training, April Clark collected information about his new teammates.

Robert Pike, who lost the draft in 1991, originally entered the NBA in 1991. Although he performed well in the first four years of his career, he was regarded as the last bench of the 1991 draft, he was just an ordinary substitute point guard who averaged 10+4 levels per game.

But in the 1995-96 season, there was no one in the Bullets' point guard position. He signed him and seized the opportunity and averaged 18 points and 9 assists per game... but he was reimbursed after only 31 games.

Then, his mentality changed and he was no longer willing to be a supporting role, and wanted to continue to be a point guard or even a core player... Last season, he was snatched away by Nash, who was still a rookie, after playing for a month in the Trail Blazers. At the beginning, it was not that Nash performed very well, but that he affected the performance of Rashid Wallace, Isaiah Ledell and others.

Zhang Hao admires Robert Pike's enterprising spirit very much, but the reality is cruel...

I don’t care too much, and I appreciate it, but that’s all.

The teammate who interested Zhang Hao the most was the Barry brothers.

Brothers who are two years apart are all humorous and funny people, and their strength is...Joan Barry did not inherit his father Rick Barry's strong physical fitness, and he was very mediocre. Except for the three-pointer at the edge of first-class level, he had no other advantages. Zhang Hao once again confirmed the team's purpose of signing him to seduce Brent Barry.

Brent Barry is very good, and his physical fitness is simply!

He has rich offensive methods, and he is good at breaking through and cutting into the offensive frame. The best thing is his shooting ability. Moreover, he is a white man, bounces irritable and has excellent strength, but he does not rely on these to play. Although he is 26 years old, he is probably not the limit just like Doug Christie.

After getting to know the new teammate again from the perspective of strength, Zhang Hao prepared to go and rest for a while and wait for lunch.

When passing the gym, Zhang Hao saw two teammates inside. These two made him unable to help but stop and prick up his ears...

"You lost the election, you press 450 pounds? How is that possible!" O'Neal asked in a low voice.

Ben Wallace didn't talk much, and he bulged his biceps.

O'Neal also bulged...and then fell silent.

Ben Wallace's arms should be slightly thicker, and his sharp edges are all muscles!

O'Neal has also been very serious about strength training this summer, at least there is not much fat on his arms, but the difference is still obvious.

"I will actually lose to you, the one who lost the election! No!"

O'Neal said, picking up two dumbbells and starting to wave wildly.
