NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

Probably because of the first time he looked at the city, Chang Tiancheng felt that time passed quickly, and after a while, the car stopped in front of the team's training hall.

"Let's go, Chang, are you ready to meet your new teammates?" Duncan said, smiling as he opened the door to the training hall.

As soon as the door opened, a young man with colorful hair and a naked upper body appeared in front of Chang Tiancheng, if it weren't for his black complexion, Chang Tiancheng almost thought that this was the one who jumped out of some anime, it was the potential inside line selected by the Spurs with this year's No. 9 pick - Jeremy Sochan.

"Yo, Chang, I watched your game, and honestly, it's really cool. When Suo Han saw Chang Tiancheng, he immediately greeted him and greeted him warmly.

This enthusiasm made Chang Tiancheng a little confused: "Hey, Jeremy, it's nice to meet you." "

I said man, you really taught that kid Alexander's lesson a good lesson, that three-point step back, almost shook him out!" Sohan gave Chang Tiancheng a hug, and then took him to the training hall.

The rest of the Spurs players are practicing their projects in earnest.

The team's current starting center, Zach Collins, is working on his ability to defend rebounds after a matchup, accompanied by an assistant coach.

Collins is a bit thin among the NBA's interior players, and he's aware of it, so he's been trying to improve his game-up.

As for why he is now the team's starting center, this is because the team's previous starting center Poeltl has been traded by the Spurs to the Raptors, although the deal has not been fully completed, but at this point in time, he should not be in the team's training gym.

Chang Tiancheng was observing Collins' training, and another young man wearing the No. 3 jersey also took the initiative to come over to greet Chang Tiancheng.

This person is the current star of the Spurs, Keldon Johnson, and he is a decent swingman at the guard. Although he is only 198 cm tall, his excellent confrontation ability even allowed him to play the position of the team's power forward last season. However, after the team drafted Sochan this season, there is no need for him to play frequently on the inside.

"Chang, I hope we will have a good time in the future. Keldon was not as enthusiastic as Sochan, but he still welcomed Chang Tiancheng's arrival.

Chang Tiancheng took the initiative to stretch out his hand and slapped Keldon: "Brother, I think we will win the championship later."

Keldon smiled and went to the assistant coach to practice shooting.

For the enthusiasm of the Spurs players, Chang Tiancheng was actually a little surprised.

After all, in order to get themselves, the team traded two guards in one go. From the player's point of view, it must not be too comfortable to get along with him day and night, and the partner who fights side by side because another person is traded.

Before he could think about it, Coach Popovich was already standing in the middle of the training hall, he clapped his hands, gathered the players around him from their respective trainings, and formed a circle around him.

"Let me introduce you, this is our new team member Chang Tiancheng, I think you all know each other. The

surrounding players immediately applauded and welcomed Chang Tiancheng's arrival.

Chang Tiancheng nodded: "Brothers, I hope we can recast the glory of the Spurs together in the future."

"Alright, I see you're almost done, now let's start preparing for the training match." Popovich clapped his hands again, then turned his head to Chang Tiancheng and said, "Chang, you go to the locker room with Tim first, and he will show you to your cabinet." You can change your clothes before you come over.

After hearing this, Chang Tiancheng did not hesitate and immediately followed Duncan to the team's locker room.

Duncan took Chang Tiancheng to a closet, and Chang Tiancheng found that his name was already on the closet.

"This is the wardrobe I used before, and I hope it can bring you some good luck. Duncan began.

"It's been a real pleasure for me, Tim. Chang Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a little flattered when he heard that the team kept the locker of Tim Duncan, a legend in team history, for his own use.

"It's nothing, ever. What I hope is that in the future, your jersey can be hung over the Spurs' home stadium. Duncan patted Chang Tiancheng's buttocks, "But you haven't picked a number yet, so the team hasn't made your jersey yet, so you can wear that training uniform first."

With that, Duncan gestured to the locker.

Chang Tiancheng opened the locker, and his hands trembled slightly because of emotion.

Hanging in the locker was a gray and black training uniform with the Spurs logo on it.

Chang Tiancheng immediately changed into this training suit, then took out his sneakers from his backpack, kicked the floor twice, and said to Duncan: "I'll go, Tim."

Duncan didn't speak, just waved his hand.

Seeing this, Chang Tiancheng didn't say anything more, turned around and ran towards the training hall.

When I arrived at the stadium, the players had been divided into two groups, one for the starters and the other for the substitutes.

Chang Tiancheng walked up to Coach Popovich with a little confusion and asked, "Coach, which one should I go to?" Coach Popovich

pointed to the substitute with his chin: "You can take the substitutes to try to fight our starters today."

Chang Tiancheng was not too surprised by this result. After all, if you join the starter, playing as a substitute for the team does not reflect your ability.

And if he can play back and forth with the starters and even beat the starters, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the trust of the team players.

At the same time, it also allows the coach to see his abilities more clearly. It's a win-win.

Chang Tiancheng came to the side of the bench team to stand down, and then Coach Popovich picked a few substitutes to join the starting team, so that the numbers of the two teams looked equal, so that it was convenient to rotate later.

"Five minutes later, we started training and now you can go and adjust. Popovich looked at his watch and announced.

After hearing Popovich's words, the two groups of people consciously walked towards their respective halves.

When he got to the basket, Chang Tianche began to observe his teammates in the next training game.

Center Sandro Mamukelashvili, as an interior player, has a decent three-point shooting ability.

Small forward Malaki Branham is also a rookie who was drafted by the team with the 20th pick in the first round this year along with Sochan. At only 196 cm tall, he is relatively short among the strikers, and his projection is not very stable.

Power forward Keita Bates-Diop is also an interior player with projection ability.

Forward Doug McDermott, who watched him play when he made his debut with the Bulls, is a white man who is not physically stellar, but he has enough three-point shooting firepower to serve as a tactical point for the team.

Chang Tiancheng was quite satisfied with this lineup and nodded slightly.
