There is no third answer to this question, and it must be answered positively.

When answering this kind of question, you should make some choices. Understanding this point will actually be easy to answer.

Whiteside is not very smart and cares about this kind of thing very much. This can be seen from the excitement of changing the 2k value before the game.

If he was given a blow at this time, he might think what he would think.

On the contrary, Jokic is a rookie, and his weight has not been lost, so the Pelicans cannot let him play.

So what he said was the truth and the most appropriate answer.

"Yes, Hassan has performed well in the preseason, he is our center, and we believe he will control the foul issues in the back."

Williams then nodded.

Whiteside's progress is visible to the naked eye. His overall strength is the strongest player in the Pelicans' No. 5 position.

If the foul in a game is not controlled well, their coaching staff will not be allowed to adjust the lineup.

"A lion is rising."

After the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers game, the NBA official used such a title to report the game.

This is a pun.

The lion can be understood as Tang Tian, ​​because Tang Tian has this nickname, and the strength he showed in the game is more ease than last season.

The Lions can also be understood as the Pelicans. The Pelicans have shown amazing competitiveness through draft and offseason reinforcement.

But no matter what kind of understanding it is, one thing that can be confirmed is that the Pelicans are not as ordinary as ESPN said this season!

The opening game with the Trail Blazers ended, and the Pelicans returned to New Orleans, and their next game was to face the Heat at home two days later.

Williams arranged daily shooting training.

"Thank you, Don!"

Before the training began, Whiteside took the initiative to find Tang Tian to thank him.

He read the news and knew that Tang Tian had spoken for him.

"Don't thank me, I didn't play well in the next game, be careful I'll kick your ass!"

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Whiteside nodded vigorously after hearing this.

Last season, it was Tang Tian’s help that he finally stayed in the team. Tang Tian is the image of the eldest brother to him.

The training atmosphere of the Pelicans is still very good. They won the Trail Blazers and started a good start, and the confidence on the players' faces is even stronger.

After the training, Nash was still there to coach Davis for shooting training, and Tang Tianhe stayed for a while and practiced more.

Jokic didn't leave either, he was there for weight loss training.

After practicing for more than an hour, Nash and Davis both left.

Tang Tian was also sitting on the sidelines to rest. He took a sip of water and saw that Jokic was still practicing.

Jokic is really strange. He has been here for more than a month and has been losing weight according to the coaching staff's requirements.

But now it seems that his body shape has basically not changed much from when he first came.

More than ten minutes later, Jokic's training was over, and he walked to the sidelines and sat down with gasps.

"How much do you weigh?"

Tang Tian turned his head and asked.

Jokic's weight and defense are directly linked to his weight.

Now that Jokic has just started playing games, his opponents are not that targeting, but as the season deepens, the situation will definitely change.

Especially in the playoffs, if this is the case, it will definitely be targeted to death.

“133kg.”

Jokic gave the answer.

Tang Tian felt a little headache.

I only lost 4 kilograms in a month, and under professional guidance, the speed is really slow.

"Are you born with this physique?"

Tang Tian couldn't help asking.

Jokic in history is the NBA who will only be on the market next season. He remembers that he is not as exaggerated as it is now.

Jokic shook his head.

"I used to weigh only about 110 kilograms, but I can't stand the inside line in Europe and have to gain weight."

After hearing this, Tang Tian roughly understood.

Europe is the world of the Big White Bear, and the offensive and defensive conversion speed over there is much slower than that on the NBA side, which leads to the inside line requiring tonnage rather than speed.

The environment determines players, just like the current NBA traditional centers are getting fewer and fewer.

But that's not what it means. If it's not a physical condition, then you should be able to reduce it if you add it.

"What do you usually eat?"

Tang Tian continued to ask.

After he entered the NBA, in order to adapt to his skills, under Cecilia's guidance, he had lost weight and gained weight. He was quite familiar with this process.

In addition to training, diet is another equally important part.

“I always take food intake as required by the coaching staff.”

"Didn't you steal it?"

Tang Tian asked with a smile, but he remembered that he felt very hungry when he lost weight.

When Jokic heard this from Tang Tianwen, he scratched his head shyly.

The answer is obvious.

"I'll eat some brek when I'm so hungry at night, but that's the only one."

Jokic said embarrassedly.

"brek? What is that?"

Tang Tian had never heard of such things before.

"Wait a moment."

Jokic said that he licked his lips and stood up, then trotted out of the training hall.

After a while, he came back with his bag in his hand.

He gasped and sat down, then pulled out a roll of stuff held in greased paper from it.

After opening it, Tang Tian found that it was something like fried spring rolls, one by one, and it also emitted a scent of meat.

"Is this what you mean by brek?"

Tang Tian looked at Jokic.

Jokic nodded.

"This is very popular in Eastern Europe. I went to New Orleans and found out that it was sold here, which was really delicious."

Jokic looked like I would have started eating if you weren't there.

Tang Tian was speechless. It seems that Jokic, like Olson, is also a foodie.

This seems to make sense. For foodies, losing weight is the most difficult thing.

Tang Tian picked up the brek and ate one. As expected, it was the same as he thought, and it was full of meat.

This is a food between meatloaf and fried spring rolls.

"Come on, you can eat one too."

Tang Tian said and handed Jokic one.

Jokic could not help it anymore, so he picked up one and put it in his mouth to chew it, looking at him enjoying himself.

This guy is really like a child who hasn't grown up.

Tang Tian then picked up the remaining brek and took it away.

Jokic looked at him with a puzzled look.

“That’s the last one you ate before you lost weight.”

Tang Tian said.

"If you want to lose weight and stay with the Pelicans."

When Tang Tian spoke again, his attitude became obviously serious.

This brek is both meat and fried, which is simply a representative of high-calorie food. Jokic continued to eat this and didn't have to think about losing weight at all.

"I will ask my nutritionist to develop a new food table based on your situation so that you won't be hungry before going to bed at night. As for this, it's just a reward."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he put away the bag of brek.

Jokic took a last look reluctantly, but nodded.

Tang Tian is the boss of the team, and what he said is indeed correct.
Chapter completed!
