Vol 3 Chapter 170: Team training

Training during the off-season is naturally focused on maintaining state and improving personal abilities. Regarding tactical training, we must wait for the team's collective training.
　　 One month passed very quickly, An Luo's progress is very obvious. However, An Luo knew in his heart that this was not a change brought about by training. But he is still very satisfied with this month's training. From those trainers, An Luo still learned a lot. For example, how to seize the opportunity to break through, how to make a foul, how to make some small moves and so on. These are some practical skills in the game.
　　 Of course, An Luo had to run away this month. People in love are very energetic. Moreover, An Luo didn't feel tired at all.
　　 After finishing his training, An Luo returned to Oklahoma. He must prepare for the team's training camp. Generally speaking, before the regular season opener is about half a month away, every NBA team must recall all players and start collective training. After all, the players in the team have changed a lot during the offseason, and there is no tacit understanding between them. It is very necessary to hurry up.
　　 On September 26, the Thunder announced the team's list of training camps for the 2017-18 season.
　　 An Luo looked at the list. Adams, Kanter, Christon, Collison, Grant, Robertson, Singler, Westbrook, these are all players who were in the Thunder last season. Some people have already left the Thunder, such as Oladipo and Sabonis Jr., and went to the Pacers together.
　　 Although the change is not great, An Luo still has some discomfort. Not to mention Oladipo, the relationship between Junior Sabonis and An Luo is still very good. And last season, Sabonis also played well and is full of talent. But the NBA is always a business, and most people cannot control their careers. Maybe one day, if you can't play well, you will definitely be traded like this!
In addition to the old teammates, there are many new names: Paul George, Bryce Alford, Markel Brown, Isaiah Canan, Raymond Felton, Terrence Ferguson, Daniel · Hamilton, Josh Hustis, Dakar Johnson, Patrick Patterson, Rashaun Thomas.
　　 There are rookies selected by the Thunder, as well as players who have been traded or signed in the free market. Some players have not signed contracts with the Thunder. They participated in this training camp to find a job. Therefore, in the end, these people will not stay in the Thunder.
　　 In these new names, An Luo also saw a very familiar name: Bryce Alford. If it is not a coincidence, this guy should be An Luo's teammate, the son of coach Steve Alford. The Bryce who has been on the bench for An Luo since.
　　 On the first day of the training camp, An Luo drove his Hornet to the training hall early in the morning. Sure enough, like last season, he was always the first player to arrive.
　　 Some staff are already at work. Seeing that, I am preparing for physical examination. Seeing An Luo coming, everyone greeted enthusiastically. An Luo also responded one by one.
　　 After changing into training clothes, An Luo began to warm up.
　　 When he finished a set of warm-up exercises, someone else arrived.
　　 "Hey! Ann! I'm so happy to meet you!" Adams's magnetic voice suddenly sounded, and then embraced An Luo warmly, "Man! You are still so early!"
　　 "You're not too late! Steven. How was your vacation?"
　　 "It's okay! I went out with my family for a while. I heard that I went back to play in the Asian Cup and won the championship. It feels good, right?"
　　 "Awesome! By the way, your country also participated in the Asian Cup. Unfortunately you did not go."
　　 "Man! I have to take a good rest! You know, it's so exhausting after a season of games!"
　　……
　　 chatted for a while, then someone came again. But those players An Luo didn't know him. Fortunately, Adams was there and introduced An Luo one by one.
　　 Westbrook and Paul George arrived one after another. The former is still dressed up so sassy, ​​and when he sees An Luo, he is also very excited.
　　 "Man! I went to your country two months ago and it feels really great! You should treat me to a big meal, but unfortunately you went out to play a game."
　　 "This is not a problem! Russell. The problem is that you are not at home with your daughter, why are you running around?"
　　 There was another greeting.
　　Paul George is much more normal. Under Westbrook's introduction, the two gave a hug. In fact, An Luo had known each other a long time ago. He was an opponent last season, and now he is a teammate. Things are really impermanent. However, this guy is really a bit like McGrady! It's just darker. Maybe it's like this after fishing for a summer.
　　 Then, the players on the roster came one after another. An Luo also finally met Bryce Alford, who was indeed his teammate in college ~EbookFREE.me~, but today is different. When An Luo hadn't gained a firm foothold when he first entered, Alford was the object of his active friendship. After all, he was the son of the coach! Now, the situation is reversed. Bryce became the original self.
　　 It didn't take long for Donovan to arrive. He didn't treat everyone courteously, but went straight to the subject.
　　 He first briefly introduced the new players to the Thunder, and then began to explain the training plan at this stage. What the players want to train and what effect they want to achieve, he said very clearly.
　　 This time, Donovan focused more on running the team and training tactics. He hopes to twist the players into a rope and develop excellent tactical qualities.
　　 Tactical literacy is still very important for a team. For example, the Warriors are a team that has always been very tactical. They have superstars, but they don't rely on them all. Clay, Curry's running position, Green's pick and roll, double screens, etc., are all important parts of their winning games. Share the ball and find the most suitable point to end the offense. Sometimes a round of offense is conducted by five people.
　　 The tactical training arranged by Donovan includes defense, offense, partial coordination, running positions, pick-and-rolls, etc. As a professional player, these are all things that should be done well. After all, these are the most basic things. However, the more basic it is, the more important it can play in the ever-changing game field.
　　 So everyone is very serious in training in accordance with the requirements of the coaching staff. The team's running-in is also very fast.
