Half a month passed quickly, because the training camps of their respective teams were gradually opened, and the training camps of several of them also came to an end.

"Clay, can you make the playoffs this year?"

Tang Tian laughed and teased Thompson.

During the offseason last season, Thompson swore to help the team enter the playoffs, but in the end the Warriors went home early to fish.

"See you in the playoffs."

Thompson's answer was straightforward.

It can be seen that he has been in a state of offseason and has not gone to nightclubs, and his self-confidence is even more explosive than last season.

Walker didn't say anything at this time, and it would be difficult for his Bobcats to enter the playoffs next season.

"Kemba, try to help the team win 20 more wins. I hope you will score 20 in the new season."

Tang Tian smiled and patted Walker on the shoulder.

Walker smiled and reached out and fisted with Tang Tian, ​​which was considered to have reached a agreement between brothers.

"I will help the team reach the finals."

Before Tang Tian could speak, Butler said directly.

Huh!

This sentence scared several others.

Butler didn't have any playing time last season, so he was thinking about entering the Finals this new season?

Tang Tian didn't say anything, just gave Butler a thumbs up.

It is a good thing to be proud of.

Walker's expression was a little complicated at this time.

He used to be such a high-spirited player, but after playing for a season with the Bobcats, no matter how high his spirit is, it will be exhausted.

But now when I saw Butler, my arrogance was also aroused.

Butler can think so, why can't he?!

"Dang, I've changed my mind. I want to help the Bobcats make it to the playoffs. If this season doesn't work, next season! If this season doesn't work, next season!"

When Tang Tian heard what Walker said, he laughed and pounded his chest.

Is this the Kemba Walker he knows!

"Jeremy, it's important to be patient and mentality. Be patient and be yourself. The opportunity will come sooner or later."

Tang Tian also said to Lamb.

Lamb's words are the one who is most easily influenced by his mentality.

Lamb nodded. Although it had been more than a year, Tang Tian helped him break through himself at the beginning, and he would always remember this.

"the same as you."

Tang Tian took a last look at Drummond.

"I'm going to get my second championship, guys."

At the end, Tang Tian looked like a leading elder brother.

You have to pretend.

But what greeted him was the rolling eyes of everyone and envy.

Not everyone has the opportunity to be on the finals from the beginning.

It’s like climbing a high and looking far away. You can never see the scenery at that height if you are not that height.

The day before the Spurs training camp opened, Tang Tian flew to San Antonio.

Early the next morning, Tang Tian entered through the entrance of the stadium. Before he could reach the locker room, he saw Popovich sitting at the door to polish his shoes.

"The old man came on the first day?"

Tang Tian sat next to Popovich with a smile.

"I've almost forgotten how to draw the tactics again."

Popovich said seriously.

Yes, it's still such a naughty old man.

Budenholzer came soon, and saw Popovich polishing shoes there, and sat down to talk about work.

Tang Tian didn't bother them, so he got up and went back to the locker room first.

There was no one in the locker room, he was the first to come.

The proverb that hits the rock at first sight.

But no one cares about it for the whole season, there is some dust on it.

He found a towel and wiped it.

After the wipe, it was much brighter and became more conspicuous.

After wiping, he walked to his wardrobe.

The Novak sign in the closet has been changed to his name.

Tang Tian, ​​pinyin.

He started changing training clothes.

"Dang, you're so early."

Leonard came to the locker room the next day.

I haven't seen him in an offseason, and he looks much happier than before.

"A few minutes before you."

Tang Tian responded with a smile.

Leonard's personality was formed by an encounter when he was a child, which was different from his natural personality.

Tang Tian's help, including the Spurs' atmosphere, is helping him develop his character in a better direction.

"Did you guys come so early and want to flatter that guy Popo?"

The third person who came was a little surprised, it turned out to be Ginobili.

"Hey, Manu."

Tang Tian smiled and went to hug Ginobili.

He and Ginobili haven't seen each other for a long time. They had dinner outside during the Olympics.

After Ginobili, Green, Duncan, Parker and other players came one after another.

Before the training began, the entire team arrived.

All the staff arrived on the first day of the training camp, which is rare in the league.

This kind of team atmosphere is also envied by many teams.

The Spurs' lineup has basically not changed this summer, with basically all starting and rotating, and even the bench has not changed much.

The only change was to leave Thomas and Diogu, and Decolo and Baines.

Nando de Collo, the starting shooting guard of the French national team, the second round pick selected by the Spurs in 2009.

A typical European white defender, 1.96 meters tall, excellent passing and shooting, but poor confrontation.

Aaron Baines, the main center of the New Zealand national team, is a typical Australian big man, and looks quite tough.

United States, France, China, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand...

The Spurs' 15-man roster is really available to people from all over the world, and it is a standard international team.

Ginobili teased the two newcomers as before, and when Budenholzer came to greet them, the group of people stood up and left the locker room.

There is a long passage from the locker room to the training hall.

In the middle of the passage is the team's showroom.

Including the trophys I just won last season, there are a total of five, all placed in the display rack.

The display rack is made of bulletproof glass, and it is locked, and the protection measures are quite in place.

This is probably why every NBA team has to kiss the trophy crazy after winning the championship.

Because I guess I can only look through the glass in the future.

However, the team members stopped at the same time and looked at the trophy with their eyes fixed on each other.

The trophy contains words written on 2011~2012. For them, these represent the glory of the past whole season.

Popovich and Budenholzer are at the end of the team.

Seeing that the team members were all staring at the trophy in a daze, Popovich walked over and shouted with a smile.

"Stop looking at that, there will be a sixth one next year."

When Popovich said this, the team members burst into laughter and looked back one after another.

This year, the Heat's strength has been significantly strengthened, the Thunder has become more mature than last year, and the Clippers who signed the sixth man Jamal Crawford, the former best sixth man...

The strength of all their competitors has become stronger, but their lineup has basically not changed, and it is very difficult to defend the title.

And to be honest, although the Spurs won five championships in 2015, they have never done anything like defending the title.
Chapter completed!
