At the end of September, the NBA preseason training camp will open.

This is the first time that the Raptors have assembled all their players in the new season.

This morning, Li Xing drove alone to the center of Esbjerg.

He has been training here for a month and can be said to be the first player to report to the team, which is very rare for him.

After one month of special training, Li Xing's score reached 112 points.

Li Xing didn't want to practice himself to the full level, nor did he want to complete another "blocking challenge". He just wanted to make himself impeccable.

Just like playing the 2K career mode, junior players will definitely like to score points, break records, and get honors.

Intermediate players like to influence the competition from all aspects, while advanced players hope that they can be excellent in any aspect.

One month of intensive training for luck control has given Li Xing a qualitative change in the ball-holding offense. This remains to be tested in actual combat.

Now he can attack with the ball under the normal confrontation of Chessie Brandi and has a high shooting percentage. He doesn't know what effect will be on the field, and he is looking forward to it.

As soon as I arrived at the training hall, it was already crowded.

In addition to those players with contracts, a large number of undrafted and overseas players, veterans who have been scattered in the development league for a long time have gathered in the arena.

You should know that the Raptors currently have 10 guaranteed players, which means that these dozens of people will compete for five regular picks.

The competition will be extremely tragic.

In addition to these direct competitions, there are competitions hidden under the surface.

Goran Dragic will face competition from Calderon and Stephenson. As an outsider, he is strong and basically has the strength to start. However, he still has to show the strength of "you honestly serve as a substitute" in the training camp.

Calderon is optimistic and cheerful, kind to others, and as a substitute, it doesn't matter, he is ready.

Stephenson is different. He took over the starting position in the playoffs last season and played pretty well.

After Shelwin Mark was traded, he thought he could officially become the starter, but he was parachuted into a hateful Slovenian.

As an opponent, he acknowledged Dragic's strength.

But he will never give up the starting position.

On the first day of training camp, Stephenson made his attitude.

Dragic wanted to shake his hand, but Stephenson just reached out and touched him for a moment, then walked away.

"This guy is really rude."

Calderon made a smooth move next to him.

Dragic smiled faintly and said, "It's okay."

Li Xing also discovered the dispute between Stephenson and Dragic, which made him embarrassed.

He was the one who recommended Dragic to the team, and this undoubtedly ruined Stephenson's starting opportunity.

This year is his third year, and next year is his contract year.

Dragic has signed for 4 years. If nothing unexpected happens, Dragic will hold the starting position in the next four years.

However, next year is Stephenson's contract year, and he needs to perform well to get himself a big contract.

Beside Li Xing, he can get considerable advertising endorsements, but as a player, he hopes to realize his own value on the court.

Li Xing looked at it and saw that this season, the Raptors' strength was much stronger than last season.

Lost Tony Allen, Pondsett, Shelwin Mark and Whiteside, but after Dragic, Middleton, Patton and the only Taylor Hansblu who completely beat him up on both offense and defense.

When Li Xing walked to Hansblu, the opponent also remembered the game three years ago.

"It's such a bad fate." Li Xing said.

Hansblu smiled and said, "It seems that I can't beat you up on the court in the future."

Li Xing smiled lightly and said, "Maybe you can try to beat me up in training camp, so that the coach may put you on the starting list."

"I'll give it a try."

Hansblu is not as wild as on the field.

On the court, Hansblu is a barbarian. He is desperate to play balls. He has to fight every goal and fight every goal. His passion can drive his teammates very much.

Unfortunately, his potential and combat power did not meet the expectations of the outside world.

So the Raptors exchanged him with a Tony Allen.

Li Xing looked at other teammates, Stephenson, DeRozan and Banyani, all made progress this summer.

DeRozan's rating finally reached 85 points.

This is an All-Star rating, while Banyani is stable at 86 points.

He has not experienced major injuries and has now become a perfect second-in-command who can stably score 206 per game.

As for Stephenson, he has made the most progress, and his current rating has reached 80 points.

Unfortunately, his competitor is Dragic with a score of 83.

Let’s look at the others. Apart from the old guy Reggie Evans, the Raptors’ second team are all players with 75 points.

Such a starting lineup, such a second team, such depth.

If you play 2K Dynasty mode, as long as you don’t encounter a large-scale injury and directly simulate a season, you will probably win the championship with 70 regular season wins and an overwhelming advantage in the playoffs.

From the book, that's it.

In terms of strength, the Raptors are the strongest in the league, and the real hidden danger lies in the team.

Will competition among players affect chemistry?

Do they still have the motivation to continue to win the championship, which has been winning for two consecutive years?

Can you stay healthy?

These three questions will accompany them throughout the season.

Dozens of people lined up, and those players with guaranteed contracts stood alone.

Snyder came over, and now he is also the champion coach with two championships, and he is famous for his mother-in-law.

Now, Snyder scans every player present with his signature cold expression.

"We are champions, so we will ask each of you to use the strictest standards. We will not allow slackness, laziness, and giving up. If we cannot do it, we can leave now!"

Snyder said: "Whether you can stay or not, you must give yourself an explanation. What is before you is an opportunity that comes from hardships, and the best five people will hold it."

"Now, follow the training plan assigned by the coaching team for you, and continue training."

The player was disbanded.

Snyder stared at several of the selected players, and the assistant came to him and handed him the physical examination report.

"Coach, I've checked it, they have no problems, and there are a few that are well maintained."

The assistant said.

"In another ten minutes, arrange a match for them."

“How to allocate personnel?”

Snyder said: "Lakis will be apart, and the others will be able to ensure the balance of the lineup. By the way, Golan and Lance will be separated."

"knew."

The assistant knew what Snyder meant, turned around and went to do it.

Li Xing was chatting with Banyani next to him.

"No, right? Not born yet?"

Li Xing has been talking about Banyani for a whole year.

Although it has only been nine months since Banyani always talks about his child every time he meets, it feels like several years have passed.

"It's been these days. God blesses me. My son must be as handsome, elegant and easy-going as me." Banyani clasped his hands and said in a manner.

Li Xing could only reluctantly agree to the description of eight words and four words. As for those handsome, elegant and elegant words, these words have nothing to do with this guy.

"What about you, how did you recently?" asked Banyani.

Li Xing said: "I played a boring Olympics, nothing happened."

"Born Olympics? I heard that you brought the Chinese team into the Olympic final with only one hand, that's OK!"

Banyanique.

"It's a bit too much for you to say that you have a hand."

Li Xing stretched out two fingers: "Actually, I used both hands."

"I'll talk nonsense when I go to yours!" Banyani laughed and scolded.

At this time, the assistant came over.

This is a female assistant. I heard that she is a graduate of a college girl basketball team and has no career prospects, so she chose to coach.
