On August 3, 2013, the news that Greg Oden came back and joined the Miami heat was talked about by fans.
It has been two years since Oden faded out of people''s view. The Super Center who made Durant rank second in the draft at the beginning, ended his career before he realized his talent.
I believe that even he himself is very unwilling. So after two years of cultivation, he returned to professional basketball again.
The world is talking about Auden, and people are speculating about whether he can bring new life to the heat''s frail interior. No one expects Oden to become a super center, but if he can take the heat''s inside strength to the next level, that''s enough.
Just as people were speculating about Auden''s future at the heat, a camp led by link began training at a training base in suburban Los Angeles.
If a reporter saw the training camp lineup, it would be very shocked. Throughout the United States, there is no training camp that can achieve this level of quality.
The camp includes two core Blazers players Lillard and Aldrich, raptors star DeMar Derozan, King''s center John cousins, new pacer leader Paul George, last season''s fmvp link and NBA future Hall of Fame member, Dwyane Wade, one of the greatest guards in history!
Wade''s presence in the camp shocked most people. After all, less than two months ago, Wade''s heat lost the championship because of link''s Grizzlies.
Everyone thought that wade must have been quite hostile to link. However, this is not the case, Wade said more than once, "if not for the finals, he and I should be friends."
So Wade came. Last season''s playoffs, is Wade''s career so far played the worst playoffs, playoffs per game only contributed 15.9 points.
What is the concept of 15.9? Wade rookie season in the playoffs, every game has 18 points recorded. And wade field average 45.7% shooting rate, is far from outstanding.
For Wade, the most important thing he wants to do now is to recover. In order to recover, in addition to his own recovery, "lightning man" also needs to have a high level of the game to participate in.
As for the high level, no training camp is better than link''s.
So Wade volunteered to join link''s training camp.
Link didn''t think about Wade, but in his opinion, Wade would probably refuse himself, so he didn''t call Wade. After all, he and Wade will still be direct rivals next season.
But in Wade''s words, "we are friends during the season, but in the off-season period, we may be able to let go of this hostility for a while."
Looking at the extremely luxurious training lineup in front of him, breekley felt dazzled. Once upon a time, link was a small transparent player who could only scrape Kobe''s game. But now, his appeal has become so great.
All the players who came to the training camp were the top players in the league. It''s not something a third grade star can do.
A few days before the training camp, almost all of us carried out their individual intensive training.
Link focused on strengthening his three-point dribble last summer, breaking the league''s three-point record last season. Now, link''s offensive skills are basically not too big dead corner, really become an all-round offensive player.
So this year, link put his focus on the defensive end.
It''s true that link''s defense has been fantastic. He was selected for the best first team and one of the best defensive flanks in the league.
But link is not satisfied with this. The best time is just a phased goal. Link''s real goal is to be like Larry Payton, the best defensive player on the outside.
It is very difficult for outside players to win the best defensive player. Since the establishment of the best defensive player award in 1982, only six outside players have been able to win the honor.
So it''s not easy to achieve this goal. That''s why link invited so many good players to train with him.
Only against the top scorer, the defense level will be improved.
Of course, link in addition to step by step to strengthen their defense, his small white note is also rising. It is certainly not too difficult to complete the upgrade before the start of the season.
Next season, link will let anyone who tries to overturn the Grizzlies die.
In the first half of the training camp, we spent most of the time in special training. Apart from occasionally playing 3-on-3, I have not played a whole match.
The whole competition is the time to fulfill the results of special training. So don''t be too impatient.
Everyone at link training camp was very hard-working, and breekley was very nervous even 24 hours a day. Because you don''t know which star player can''t sleep all of a sudden today and ask breekley to come out for training in the early morning.It''s not the first time breekley has encountered such a thing.
On August 20, nearly 20 days after the start of the training camp, all the aspects that we need to improve have achieved little.
On the morning of the 20th, link came to the training camp early as usual. After the recent special training, he''s more accurate in judging the timing of blocking and snatching.
In the past, link has relied on Grant Hill''s excellent sense and experience in defense. But this year, link learned a lot of technical things.
He believes that next season, his defense will certainly go further. Of course, it also makes others feel more desperate.
By the time link handed it to the training center, Wade was already putting on his protective gear.
As the oldest and most famous player in the training camp, Wade is also the earliest player almost every day, without a bit of big name.
"Good morning, link. It''s the 20th today. It''s time to arrange some five on five confrontational training." Wade casually said hello to link. After nearly a month together, link and wade had already known each other very well.
Their personal relationship has become closer and closer. Now, link can say without hesitation, "I''m friends with Dwyane Wade.".
"After today''s training, we''ll divide into groups. Tomorrow, we''ll start five on five training." Link laughed, knowing Wade couldn''t wait.
In training camp, Wade''s knee recovery is not bad. And continued high-level training, let Wade''s state maintain very good.
Now, I believe, Wade must be very eager to prove himself again. He is only 31 years old, and he is far from old.
"Now, LeBron is in all sorts of business activities, right? Although Kobe is recuperating, but the commercial activity is also very much. I heard that you''ve pushed out a lot of business activities in order to come to my training camp? " Link sat down and changed his clothes and started talking to wade.
"Yes, a lot of commercial activities have been pushed out. It''s mainly because I''m in a bad state. If I''m going to be in the same state as before, I won''t agree to it myself Wade said, touching his knee.
As a player who has already removed his meniscus before entering the league, God knows how Wade sticks to it.
It''s not easy for him to get there, but Wade still doesn''t seem satisfied. Even though his knees were full of holes, he still refused to accept his life.
Link admires Wade''s determination. It will be very interesting if you have a chance to be a teammate with Wade in the future...
"you will be able to regain your form, Dwayne."
"Why not? I''m the only one who can stop me. Be careful next season, link
"Hey, you''d better rush out of the East first." Link patted Wade on the shoulder, and the next 5-on-5 confrontation training was fun.
Because everyone in this training camp has one characteristic - they don''t admit defeat.
George, unruly Lillard, Harris, who is eager to prove that he can do it, Butler, simple but victorious, etc.
a group of people who do not admit defeat may turn the training match into a real competition.
That''s what link wants.
