As time goes by August, the NBA free market is also officially opened.

As soon as the free market opened, the Heat announced the signing of "Dragon King" Chris Bosh, completely forming the three giants of the Seismic League.

As for the next step, the Heat only need to make some reinforcements on the edges and corners to be released in the new season.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the Heat announced the high-profile that it would form a Big Three, most news in the league has been revolving around the Heat.

Because the Heat seemed to have replaced the Thunder and became the new public enemy in the league.

Even though the Thunder's lineup is also very terrifying, with two of the top five players in the NBA scoring list last year, the key is that the Heat's superstar group this time is really unexpected.

Compared with the Thunder, who has already won the championship, the Heat's operation is really shocking.

In addition, the Thunder, the defending champion, also made news in the free market.

The Thunder first used a full middle class worth about $7.5 million to sign free agent Yao Ming, who jumped out of the contract, and signed McGrady with a contract with a veteran's basic salary.

At this point, the Thunder's 15-man roster has been decided in the new season.

Although I don’t know whether the Thunder will conduct trading operations in the future, it is certain that this lineup is the core lineup of the Thunder in the new season.

As for the idea of ​​trading a player of Anthony or Durant, the chances of it happening are not very high.

At most, you can cut off Ben Wallace through the team options, and then make some reinforcements at the edges.

After all, as a defending champion, it is a word of stability, especially if you can keep the championship team still, try not to move as much as possible. This has always been an unwritten rule in the NBA.

As the saying goes, signing a player is simple, but it is really difficult to get the players together.

Even most teams were surprised that the Thunder were able to sign Yao Ming in the offseason.

But considering Yang Fan's identity, this seems not so surprising.

In this way, the Yao and Maggie combination will join forces in the league in the new season, but this time both of them are not the core.

As the saying goes, the sky turns back and the earth turns back, spring is still there, things are not the same as people, and the intention is difficult to calm down...

…………………

As time enters September, as the players gradually return to the team, the Thunder also started special training before the new season.

And the Thunder's 15-man roster will be:

Inside line:

Yao Ming, O'Neal, Ibaka, Ben Wallace and Collison.

Front/Bardo:

Durant, Anthony, Jamison, "Martial Saint" Jackson, McGrady, Danny Green, and Mason.

Defender:

Curry, Westbrook, and Beverly.

When this lineup was seen, it was simply starry-like. Especially when Yang Fan looked at it from the perspective of God, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Because in later generations, at least five players in this lineup can enter the Hall of Fame. This is Yang Fan’s conservative estimate. If he really wants to calculate it, this number will only be more or less!!

Even though the Thunder seem to have few people on the back line, Jackson and Danny Green have always been playing the second position, and McGrady can also play guest roles.

What's more, Yang Fan also plans to use Anthony to play the second position in the new season. Although his weight of 103 kilograms will make him move a little slow, Anthony is enough to be competent for this position when facing most teams in the league.

After all, the Thunder's style of playing is different from other teams, and the positions of each player are also very vague.

So when Curry, Durant and Jamison can play without the ball, a player with excellent ball-holding and offense will naturally be placed in the starting lineup.

Even if "Martial Saint" Jackson may be more suitable for this position, Yang Fan is really reluctant to leave Jamison's three-point shooting percentage of 44.7% last season.

Last season, Jamison averaged 17.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, among which the firepower output outside the three-point line was even more stable than rookie Curry.

Even for the outside firepower of Curry, Durant and Jamison, some fans have called them "Thunder Fire Brothers"!!

Although this title almost made Yang Fan laugh to death at that time, it has to be said that this can be regarded as a kind of reputation.

…………

Throughout September, Yang Fan has been conducting different targeted training for players, because no one knows the most suitable style of play than Yang Fan.

But players like Anthony and McGrady naturally don’t need them. After all, their personal habits have been set and there is no need to change them.

All they need to do is try to get in touch with their teammates and strive to integrate into this team as soon as possible.

Among them, Yang Fan made some changes in Yao Ming's personal special training, that is, from Yao Ming's original ball holding the ball at a low post to now mainly pulling to the outside line for projection and support.

The most important thing is that Yang Fan sets the first goal for Yao Ming is to make him lose weight, and he will lose at least 40 pounds of weight, because under Yang Fan's tactical system, Yao Ming does not need such a large tonnage.

Especially at present, Yao Ming's weight has endangered his health, making his knees unbearable at all.

It can be said that in Yang Fan's tactical system, Yao Ming can not only try to extend his career as much as possible, but also greatly reduce the troubles caused by injuries.

After all, Yao Ming mainly pulls to the outside line for projection and uses his height to support him. In terms of physical confrontation, the number of things has been reduced to no less.

Anyway, Yao Ming's touch is very soft, and he doesn't need to practice shooting at mid-range, and these things have been integrated into his bones.

Therefore, Yao Ming practiced the most during the offseason, but instead supported the pass and shots outside the three-point line.

Of course, Yang Fan only lets him practice shooting at the front position of the arc top outside the three-point line. As long as Yao Ming can make a point shot accurately outside the three-point line, it will be enough for him.

This is not a difficult task for Yao Ming. Even though Yao Ming rarely shot three-pointers before, with his excellent shooting feel, as long as Yao Ming is willing to put in his efforts, it will naturally be no problem.

Yang Fan did not require Yao Ming to shoot a three-pointer as coquettish as Oku and Murphy. In fact, as long as he can pull out the enemy from outside the three-point line and make the opponent feel pressure, it is already very enough.

…………

"Yao Yao, how do you feel recently?" Yang Fan asked Yao Ming as soon as he walked into the stadium.

Hearing the voice of head coach Yang Fan, Yao Ming, who was sitting aside and resting, subconsciously stood up. "Coach Yang, I feel very good. The players on the team are very enthusiastic, especially Shaq."

"To be honest, I would never dream of becoming a teammate with him one day. He is such an interesting guy."

Seeing Yao Ming stand up too politely, Yang Fan wanted to pat his shoulder and let him sit down and talk.

But when Yang Fan reached out his hand, he was instantly embarrassed. "Ahem..., it's good to feel good. There is no need to be too much restraint here. These guys are all cute, they are definitely good people."

As Yang Fan finished speaking, Yao Ming tugged the corner of his mouth slightly.

Especially when Yu Guang passed by the Mason who had been holding him and throwing him, Yao Ming almost blurted out. "Good guy??? That's it!!"
