: Three hundred and sixty-four: One shot of the dry dream team?

As Robert Pera said, the entire league is brewing deals.
On July 1, the free agent market and trading market officially opened. On the first day, Celtics forward Kevin Garnett and Nets forward Gerald Wallace announced the official contract extension with the team. These two players are not low, so although there are no players changing teams, this is also the best news.
And one day later, on July 2, the transaction came immediately.
The Atlantans sent the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson they could not afford to Brooklyn, and the Nets sent away Anthony Morrow, DeShawn Stevenson, Jordan Williams and Johann. Petro and a protected lottery pick from the Houston Rockets.
"Eagle King" changed ownership and joined forces with Deron and Wallace. This big deal involving five people served a big dish to the fans the day after the trading market opened!
The Russian owner and general manager of the Nets, Billy King, firmly believes in the truth that you can win by stacking up stars. In their view, the Miami Heat is a living example. Only if there are enough stars can the team win!
Joe Johnson has four years of contract with nearly 90 million left, which is not a small burden for the Hawks. But for the Nets local bosses, the money issue is not a problem. If it weren't for the fact that the league has a salary cap, he would be even crazier to spend money.
Of course, this transaction also indicates that the old Grizzlies O.J. Mayo is likely to be abandoned again. Mayo's rookie contract expired this summer, but instead of renewing him, the Nets also got Joe Johnson.
In this way, Mayo's Nets career should end here. Counting this down, the Nets gave Jimmy Butler to the Grizzlies almost in vain last year.
In the next few days, Link has been waiting for news related to the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies have been standing still, which makes Link wonder whether Pella has encountered difficulties in the transaction.
It wasn't until July 6 that the Grizzlies finally announced a news: The Memphis Grizzlies won a free agent Nick Young with a 6 million one-year contract.
There is no doubt that Pella's move is hoping to fill the lack of attack points on the Grizzlies bench. The offensive ability of the Grizzlies' rotation lineup has always been criticized, and Nick Young's scoring ability is beyond doubt.
Being a bench bandit is very suitable.
It's just that this signing can't be said to be a big deal. Moreover, the second and third positions of the Grizzlies are already quite crowded.
Link, Gay, Battier, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Poundset, and now, with Nick Young, this lineup is a bit weird.
But Link didn't have time to speculate about Pella's future plans. The time had come to July, and Link had to focus on his training now.
This year, Link still hired the young Chris Brickley to train for himself. In addition, Ganna Peterson, the most famous body trainer in Los Angeles, was invited, and Link wanted to further polish his body shape.
Of course, training cannot be done alone. Because this year, most famous players have to go to the Olympics. Therefore, Link can no longer be exposed to Kobe's light. To organize training and the game, Link has to rely on his own connections.
But Link was delighted to find that it seems not difficult for him to form a training team this year.
After spending two years in the NBA, Link has a little bit of appeal.
Jimmy Butler, Paul George, DeMarcus Cousins, Jeremy Lin and Link himself, the five-person training team was officially formed. Although it's not like Kobe can casually call first-line stars such as Paul and Durant, Link thinks that this training lineup is not bad. The contacts he has accumulated over the past two years are naturally not on par with Kobe.
In the next month or so, they will train together and improve together.
Everyone has their own points that they need to improve. For example, George will focus on the offense with the ball this year and Butler will focus on shooting practice. And what Link wants to improve this year is his three-point shooting ability in the dribble.
Although Link's three-pointers were accurate last season, most of them were catches and shots after fixed points. Hill's three-pointer was this style, and Link inherited it.
However, this shooting method is very limited, and Link will be blinded when it comes to blocking your receiving route.
Therefore, Link needs to improve his ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball. For example, three-pointers with a retreat step, a three-pointer with an emergency stop while on the move, and a direct three-pointer after going around the screen.
As we all know, Grant Hill did not develop three-pointers until late in his career. In other words, Link has now inherited Hill's strongest three-pointer ability. Even if it is upgraded in the future, it will be improved in other aspects.
But if Link wants to have a deeper knowledge on three-pointers, he has to work his own.
So this summer, Link has no shortcuts, he has to rely on his own efforts.
Outside of training, the five people often play games with each other. Of course, many other training camps or local street teams were invited to form the game.
Training alone is not practical, and eggs are not used. Only by exploring in actual combat can we make rapid progress.
In mid-July, Link and his team, who had trained for half a month, had begun to show results. The biggest problem now is that the quality of opponents in the game is generally not high, and no actual combat effect can be obtained.
It was at this point in time that Link received a call from Kobe.
Link was surprised when he saw Kobe's name written on the caller ID. Shouldn't Kobe be preparing for the Olympics now? How do you have time to call yourself.
"Hello Link, I heard that you and your little brothers are training in Los Angeles."
"Yeah, do you want to come? I'm afraid you can't come." After all, Los Angeles is Kobe's territory, so Link was not surprised to hear Kobe knew his whereabouts.
"Hahahaha, I won't go, but you can come. How about? Are you interested in coming to Manchester to play a practice match with the US team?"
"Ah!?" Link's head was blank, what happened? Play against the dream team! ?
Suddenly, Link's thoughts were not clear.
"I highly recommended you and your little partner to coach K. I promised him that you are the group with the strongest overall strength in the training camp right now! We need some real confrontation, do you understand? So, If you accept, we can arrange an internal match in Manchester~EbookFREE.me~ Hey, you definitely want to play against the strongest opponent too? Now, the strongest opponent is in the UK. Come on , And form a game with the US national team!"
"But... don't you have a special training team." Link is still a little confused. The American team wants to warm up, so why won't you find yourself on top.
First of all, the US team has a special sparring team before each World Series. Link also received an invitation from the sparring team this year, but he didn't accept it if he wanted to train himself.
Second, the US team can find a more "regular" opponent if they want to warm up. For example, in previous training camps in Las Vegas and Washington, the United States has played warm-up matches with the Dominica and Brazil national teams. And Link's own people are not even the team.
"The sparring team has returned to the United States and we know each other too well. After that, we originally wanted to play internal practice matches with the local club, so we also invited the local Manchester Giants team for internal training. But... .Um...Although it may be a bit hurtful to say that, they are really not good enough...The warm-up match does have a national team opponent, but what we need is an internal practice match. So, if If it is convenient for you, I hope you can come to the training camp. Of course, the national team will pay your team."
After Link hung up the phone, he looked at his friends dumbfounded. Team up with the dream team? It sounds interesting!
By the way, you can also test the training results in a really high-level confrontation.
It doesn't seem to be the case to find street teams and other training camp players in Los Angeles every day.
"Guys, let's discuss things." So Link called up everyone, ready to go to Manchester to play the American team!
