The training camp for the Los Angeles Clippers began!
Qiao Feng chose two more players in the summer league.
Caruso and little Payton
Although it overlapped with the current lineup.
There were already many players in the same position.
However, Qiao Feng felt that it was worth it to sign these two with the basic salary.
At the very least, they could guarantee that they would not join other teams.
Now, the lineup was almost assembled.
Qiao Feng was prepared to make other deals after the start of the season.
They would first train with the current lineup.
The Laker team had a lot of young players, and they were very active during training.
They all wanted to perform well and compete for a chance to play in the new season.
This made Phil Jackson and Adelman very satisfied.
During lunch, Qiao Feng was with the two coaches.
"Phil, Rick, I have a suggestion!”
"In order to increase the competitiveness between the players, let's have an internal training match!”
The two coaches were not surprised to hear that there was going to be an internal training match.
Because this was something that the team often did during training.
Usually, the main lineup would be in the first team, and the substitutes would be in the first team.
Then, the two teams carried out tactical drills.
Every NBA team would play this kind of game during training.
"We can make this training match more interesting!”
"You two managers will each lead a team!”
"As for the players, you will choose them in the draft mode!”
"What do you guys think?"
Phil Jackson and Adelman's eyes widened when they heard this.
The two of them had never held such an internal training match before.
Rick Adelman spoke first.
"No problem, I agree!"
He had never been convinced by Phil Jackson.
Back then, it was Jackson who led the Los Angeles Clippers to eliminate his King in the Western Conference.
Before this, the two of them had met in the finals.
Phil Jackson led the Bulls to beat Adelman's Blazers.
Adelman heard Qiao Feng's suggestion and immediately became interested.
He felt that his chance to prove himself had arrived.
As the manager of this team, Phil Jackson was not to be outdone.
He also agreed.
In the afternoon, the two of them began a new talent show.
"Phil, you're the team's manager. You choose first!”
Adelman gave the opportunity to Jackson.
Jackson didn't stand on ceremony.
He chose Leonard first.
Adelman chose Paul George.
Jackson picked Derrick Rose next.
Adelman chose Tatum.
After a round of selection, the lineup was confirmed!
The five players that Phil Jackson sent on were: Ross, Luol Deng, Leonard, Tucker, and Zubacs.
The other two substitutes were Caruso and Brewer.
Adelman's starting lineup was Van Fleet, Paul George, Tatum, Randall, and South Jr.
The two substitutes were Payton Jr. and Brooks.
The match between the two teams began!
Zubacs and Little Nance were going to jump ball!
The two young men jumped with all their might.
They were all working hard for their main positions in the new season.
Little Nance was still better.
After all, his genes were better!
His father was the NBA's legendary slam dunk king, Larry Nance.
Little Nance pushed the ball behind him!
Paul George received the ball.
George dribbled the ball to the front.
His opponent was Luo Erdeng.
Luol Deng was considered one of the top 3D players in the NBA!
People in the martial world called him Deng Yingqiao (Jordan)!
However, when it came to the Clippers, they were not used to it.
Some people said that he was not playing well because of the big contract.
Last season, he had a contract worth more than 17 million and only had an average of less than 8 points per game.
This season, with the arrival of Cass and George, he had fewer scenes.
Qiao Feng looked at Luol Deng. He was thinking that after the start of the season, he would definitely trade him away!
Luol Deng obviously did not put too much effort into defending, allowing Paul George to pass easily.
Paul George was eager to make a contribution and forced a breakthrough to the basket.
Zubacs was a little slow to defend and was easily hit by Paul George's layup.
It was really impossible to find a problem without playing a game.
Qiao Feng, who was watching from the side, immediately realized that the team needed to strengthen the inside.
Now, the inside line lacked a protective barrier.
Although the Warriors and Cavaliers, the main opponents of the Laker, didn't have big centers, they had top scorers like Durant and James.
Especially when facing James, who was known for his impact, it was very important to find a center who could protect the basket.
Although Zubacs had a good physique, his footwork and defensive ability were still lacking.
Zubacs sent the ball to Ross.
Rose was also a player that Qiao Feng focused on.
He wanted to see how Ross was recovering.
This was related to what kind of upper line the Los Angeles team could reach.
Facing van Vliet's defense, Ross simply changed back and sped up to pass.
After all, van Vliet was not good at defense.
Ross passed him easily.
The one who immediately came to defend was Paul George.
George was one of the best perimeter defenders.
In the face of George's defense, Ross used his signature rapid shake.
Phil Jackson could not help but frown when he saw this.
"Child, this is team training. You don't have to fight so fiercely!”
He could not help but remind her.
Ross 'action was quite damaging to his knees.
Back then, Ross had suffered serious injuries one after another because he kept shaking rapidly, causing his knees to be unable to bear the weight.
Qiao Feng revealed a satisfied smile when he saw everything in front of him.
After Ross quickly swayed, he immediately jumped up and made a jump shot!
Although the ball did not go in, the action was clean and neat.
Even though Paul George was defending him, he could not completely restrict him!
This was the power of Derrick Rose.
It seemed like the MVP was back!
