"Jiang, our first game of the new season is scheduled for February 6, and our opponent is the Raptors." After Stewart received the new season schedule, he immediately informed Jiang Dongbing to prepare early.

As the only two NBA teams in Canada, the Raptors and Grizzlies naturally compete secretly, each wanting to be the better one.

It's just that these two teams are at the bottom every year, so they only have a short-term idea at the beginning of the season. After the season is halfway through, looking at the eye-catching results, who still has the heart to compete.

The Grizzlies' lineup has changed a lot this season. Jiang Dongbing also reported to Stewart on the starting lineup he prepared. Compared with the Grizzlies' starting lineup last season, only Raheem has not changed, and the other four starters have all changed.

According to Jiang Dongbing's preliminary starting lineup, the Grizzlies' starting center for the new season is Brad Miller, the starting power forward is Raheem, the small forward and shooting guard are Jackson and Christie respectively. As for the point guard selection, Jiang Dongbing is preparing

Pick one of Billups and Mobley.

Mobley definitely can't play point guard, but Christie can. This is a player who can truly span the first, second, and third positions.

…

"Coach, are you looking for us?"

"Hello, coach."

Billups and Mobley walked into Jiang Dongbing's office one after another and said hello to Jiang Dongbing.

"Sit down, I came to see you. I mainly want to talk about the team's starting position at No. 1. At present, I am inclined to let one of you two start at this No. 1 position." Jiang Dongbing leaned on the chair, casually.

opened his mouth and said.

The expressions of the two people immediately became colorful. Billups looked livid, while Mobley was full of surprise.

In Billups's view, even though he changed two teams during his rookie season, he still started 70 of the 80 games he played. Now that Jiang Dongbing is talking to him about starting, shouldn't he let him

Start the game yourself?!

As far as he knows, the Grizzlies originally didn't have a decent point guard. Now that Jiang Dongbing has traded him, will he be put on the bench?

As for Mobley, his face was full of surprises. He never dreamed that his second-round pick, who had never proven himself at all, would have the opportunity to start.

Although this opportunity still seems to have to compete with Billups next to him, this is also a good thing. If it is left to other teams, it will not give the second-round pick a chance to compete at all. If he is lucky, he will be inserted into the team's bench.

Those who are unlucky don't know where they will be sent.

"Coach, do I really have a chance to be in the starting lineup?" Mobley was already so excited that he couldn't wait to ask directly.

"Yes, there is indeed this opportunity, but it also depends on your performance." Jiang Dongbing nodded and said.

"How to perform? Coach, just tell me, I can definitely do it." Mobley became more and more excited.

Billups on the side said directly, "Coach, doesn't the No. 1 position need organizational skills? As far as I know, Cutino's organizational skills are close to zero. Is he really qualified to play the starting No. 1 position?

"

These words directly poured cold water on the excited Mobley. He suddenly remembered that Jiang Dongbing said just now that he wanted the starting No. 1 position, but what about him? He was playing the No. 2 position!

"Chauncy, I think that's why what happened to you in Boston and why you were sold after only playing about twenty games with the Raptors."

"Sometimes, when you're not allowed to speak, you should probably keep your mouth shut."

"Who said the No. 1 position must have organizational skills? Has anyone said that? Even if someone has said that, there is no such stereotype in my team."

"The organizational point in my team may be a traditional No. 1 position like you, or it may be the No. 5 position, or more likely the No. 2 or No. 3 position."

"Remember, if you want to question me next time, please be prepared to sit on the bench forever."

Jiang Dongbing directly gave Billups a slap in the face. Today, Billups still seems to have not recognized the reality and is still living in the world of his 1997 No. 3 overall show.

The sooner Billups figures out his position, the sooner he can integrate into this league.

Billups' face turned red when he was retorted by Jiang Dongbing. Thinking of what he had experienced in the past year, his eyes turned red with grievance. After all, Billups is just a young boy in his early twenties.

"I don't like to talk nonsense. There is still a week left before the start of the new season."

"In the next week, I will assign you a task. Whoever performs well will be our team's starting number one. It's that simple." Jiang Dongbing continued to say slowly.

These words made the two young people in front of them restless. They knew the importance of starting the game too well. Even Billups knew very well that if he lost his starting position in the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, his rookie contract would probably end.

It will become unpopular later.

Mobley, on the other hand, is even more aware that whether he can become a counterattack model for second-round picks will depend on the next week.

"What mission?" they both asked at the same time.

"In the next week, Billups, you will complete 10,000 passing trainings, and Mobley, you will complete 10,000 three-point trainings."

"You can find sparring and training venues by yourself."

"In a week, I will select a player among you to be our starting defender." Jiang Dongbing said a training goal that confused the two of them. In addition, Jiang Dongbing also informed the two of them in detail about their training methods.

Mobley is easy to say, just shoot a three-pointer, but Billups must find a partner. During the training process, Billups must pass the ball and the partner takes the shot, then it can be considered a complete training.

Passing drills.

After hearing Jiang Dongbing's words, the two of them were completely dumbfounded.

Ten thousand passes and ten thousand three-pointers? To complete such a training goal within a week is not very difficult, but it is certainly not easy.

Some players can complete five thousand shooting trainings in one day, and that's just one day. Who knows how long they can maintain this training intensity.

Now Jiang Dongbing arranges it 10,000 times a week, which is generally acceptable for young people like the two of them.

What the two of them were wondering about wasn't the intensity of the training. In their opinion, since their starting position was at stake, not to mention 10,000 a week, even 20,000, they had to work hard to achieve it.

What they are really confused about now is how does Jiang Dongbing know how many times he has trained? After all, Jiang Dongbing said that he would find training venues and sparring partners by himself. Then he would practice hundreds of times by himself and report to Jiang Dongbing ten thousand times.

Can you tell the difference between true and false?

Of course Jiang Dongbing can tell the difference between true and false, mainly because now he has bound Billups and Mobley. Jiang Dongbing can accurately determine the number of times they have trained in this week to single digits!

A week later, Jiang Dongbing will decide who will take the starting position of the team based on the number of training sessions between the two.
Chapter completed!
