Chapter 865 The Rebounder (Dejounte Murray)

There are many skills to improve your rebounding, but most of them have height requirements.

After all, rebounds, a stat that has a lot to do with height, generally belong to the team's big players.

But there are also some alternatives, such as Dejounte Murray, Rondo, Kidd, Westbrook, and Oscar Robertson.

These also have different levels of skill packages in the krypton gold system.

After screening, Tang Tian finally chose to exchange for the blue skill rebounder (Dejounte Murray).

Of course there are better ones, but that's at least purple level.

He is now focused on redeeming legends, and spending too much krypton gold in this area is not worth the gain.

In comparison, the blue skill, which only costs 2 million krypton gold, is relatively cost-effective for him.

Rebounder (Dejounte Murray): Increases rebound placement judgment by 10% and blocking ability by 10%.

Blue's skill attribute bonus is limited, but it is enough for Tang Tian.

He opened the attribute panel and saw that the rebound attributes of both the first-level and second-level pages had changed.

The overall rebound rating in the first-level page has been increased from 62 to 70;

On the secondary page, offensive rebounds increased from 44 to 50, and defensive rebounds increased from 65 to 75.

Tang Tian is a swingman player who mainly plays shooting guard. He is 2.03 meters tall and has a height advantage when playing against players at the same position.

With this skill bonus and the presence of a stuck forward in the team, getting a dozen rebounds in a game shouldn't be a big problem.

After redeeming the skills, the plane returned to New Orleans.

The next day, Tang Tian participated in the last training day of the Hard Training Brothers training camp.

This is a standard formality for him.

Butler and Thompson both went to the Olympics like Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian knew about their strength.

However, Walker's progress is somewhat surprising. This defender, who in Jordan's eyes could not win the championship, has improved by leaps and bounds and is much stronger than at the same time in history.

It seems that the Hard Training Brothers training camp has been of great help to him.

"You're going to be at the top of your career next season."

Tang Tian said seriously, and in a very happy tone.

The new season is also Walker's contract year. If Walker can perform well, he is expected to win a big contract for himself.

Among these hard-working brothers, Walker played with him in the NCAA and has the closest relationship with him.

So he's really happy for Walker.

At the end of the training camp, they started clamoring to win the championship again.

In addition to Walker, the Mavericks with Butler, the Cavaliers with Irving, the Warriors with Thompson, and the Pelicans with Tang Tian are all favorites to win the championship in the new season.

In terms of limelight, they have completely overshadowed the Four Heroes.

The training camp of the hard-working brothers is over here, and the Pelicans' new season training camp is about to start at the New Orleans Arena.

Jokic, Davis, Brogdon and Siakam have participated in training camps one after another and gained a lot in the summer.

The team's training camp has begun, and Pelicans players are returning to the team one after another.

It has only been two days since the training camp started, and all players, including those with training camp contracts, have already arrived.

Winning last season was exciting, but for them, it was just the beginning.

In fact, a championship doesn't mean much.

The minimum standard for a dynasty is three consecutive championships, and their first goal in the new season is to defend the title.

Because all the powerful teams have received sufficient reinforcements in the past summer, the difficulty of defending the title will be historic, so they must work harder.

"I miss you so much!"

The atmosphere in the training camp is very serious, but Bojan is still the same Bojan. He yells when he arrives at the team, and he is like a team asset.

"You should go to China and do cross talk."

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head. This sentence was too familiar to a Chinese.

Bo Yang was confused, but he still smiled and nodded.

"I must go to China next summer. That guy Nikolai drooled all over the floor about what I said."

Bo Yang's next words made Tang Tian laugh. This guy is really funny.

The Pelicans' lineup for the new season has changed compared to last season.

There are not many changes in the starting lineup. They will still be Holiday, Tang Tian, ​​Ariza, Davis and Jokic.

The substitutes that have changed a lot, including Dinwiddie, Aminu and McGee who were rotated last season, have all left the team.

The current substitute lineup includes Deron, Stephenson, Bojan, David West, and Biyombo.

Plus Brogdon, Joe Harris, Gary Forbes, Siakam, Harrell and Boban Marjanovic on the bench.

Compared with last season, the team has more immediate combat power. As long as the run-in is good, even if the opponent becomes stronger, the chance of successfully defending the title is very high.

After everyone arrived, Stevens led the team in the first full-court confrontation of the training camp.

In addition to player changes this past summer, there were also changes to the Pelicans' coaching staff.

Mike Brown did a good job with the Pelicans last season, and he also got a head coaching job with the Grizzlies.

The Pelicans' first assistant position is still vacant.

Until a suitable assistant coach is found, training will be left to Stevens himself.

The training for full-field confrontation is the same as usual, starting group, substitute group and bench group.

Stevens observes the status of the players off the court. Not only the newcomers, but also the status of the veteran players will also have ups and downs after an offseason.

Biyombo's condition looks average. It seems that he didn't spend much time on training this past summer.

The two veterans, Deron and David West, integrated quickly, which is also a characteristic of the veteran players.

The performance of Brogdon and Siakam exceeded his expectations, and the team made another profit in the draft this year.

However, these have not had a big impact on the team. The real impact is on two people.

One is Ariza and the other is Tang Tian.

Ariza's touch is quite sluggish and his body fat percentage is also high.

Tang Tian's condition seems to be better than last season, especially the protection of rebounds, which is very good.

Training continues. While Stevens is adjusting the lineup and player status, he is also working with general manager Demps to screen assistant coaches.

After a few rounds, several names appeared in front of him.

David Fizdale, Alvin Gentry, Lionel Hollins and Mike Woodson.

These coaches are quite famous.

Fizdale was the first assistant coach of the former Heat’s Big Three;

Gentry has a head coaching resume and performed well. He led Nash to the Western Conference Finals at the end of his career;

As the former Knicks coach, Woodson also led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals and has top-notch defensive skills;

Needless to say, Hollins applied for the job last season;

These coaches all have one thing in common: they have the ability to be a head coach, but they don’t have the opportunity to be a head coach.

After all, there are only 30 head coach positions in the NBA. There is no chance this season. They can only look to next season.

The Pelicans are the best springboard for them. Mike Brown has succeeded, and they naturally want to be next.
