NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 237 The lockout is over! Earth-shaking changes in the alliance!

On January 1999, 1, the labor and management parties finally officially signed this long new labor agreement. The NBA's 20-day lockout finally came to an end. The biggest crisis in the history of the NBA was finally over!

At the same time, the league announced that the training camp will start on January 1th. It will be very short, only one week, followed by a 24-day preseason, with each team playing only 5 games, and then February 2th. This will be the first day in NBA history. The first season that does not span a natural year will officially begin!

The regular season has been cut to only 50 games, the All-Star Game has been directly cancelled, and the density of each team's schedule has also increased significantly. At the same time, the difficulty of each team's schedule has also increased!

The first shortened season in NBA history is about to officially begin.

At the same time, although various NBA activities such as contract renewal, free agent signing, rookie signing, etc. have begun as early as the day the two parties announced the agreement, according to the rules, they must officially sign the contract from January 1. The formal signing process can only begin on the day the contract is placed.

So in other words, each team only has 5 days to form their new lineup!

In 5 days, it is hard to say what kind of lineup each team can form, but their general managers and coaches are really busy and overwhelmed!

Even if they had reached some verbal agreements before the season was suspended, and even if all the teams had actually started to jump ahead when the agreement was reached, in the past, the entire summer's work was so compressed and completed in less than a week. , no matter who it is, they will feel waves of despair at this time.

Fortunately, this is the best basketball league in the world after all, and elites from all over the world gather here, so after some painless contract extensions and signings, the first shocking free agent signing was born!

Scott Pippen, a meritorious player of the Chicago Bulls, a member of the league's multiple All-Stars and All-NBA teams, and a 5-time champion, and known as the NBA's number one small forward, joined the Houston Rockets with a 5-year maximum salary contract!

He will play alongside Hakeem Olajuwon in the new season! Although the Rockets' Big Three 2.0 failed to appear as scheduled because of the absence of Barkley, Pippen finally fulfilled his dream of earning tens of millions of annual salary.

Then, there was another contract extension that made the entire league crazy.

Patrick Ewing chose to take a salary cut again and again!

He once again chose to take a one-year basic salary contract of 200 million and continue to stay in New York!

Ewing's salary in recent years is really enough to shock the entire league. From the 95 million, the highest annual salary in NBA history and the first tens of millions of annual salary in the 96-1800 season, to 97 million in 200, and then again in 98. He received an annual salary of 1500 million, and this year, he once again chose the basic salary!

As for the reason why he chose the basic salary, it is too simple. Almost everyone can see through it at a glance.

Michael Jordan!

After all, Pippen has left, and Phil Jackson also announced that he will not continue to coach the Bulls. As for Rodman...

Well, no one knows where Rodman is now or what he is doing. This guy has completely lost contact.

But what is foreseeable is that the disintegration of the Bulls is a foregone conclusion!

Jordan would either retire, rebuild with the Bulls, or transfer.

He only has these three paths to take, but now this guy has not issued a retirement statement, and based on his relationship with Krause and Reinsdorf, it is completely impossible for him to accompany the Bulls in rebuilding. The remaining options are , in fact there is only one left!

And everyone believes that as a Brooklyn native, Jordan has only one place to go if he wants to transfer!

New York Knicks!

There was no place that could satisfy Jordan's demands and desires except the Knicks.

Less than a day after Ewing announced a substantial salary cut, the Knicks took action again. They used a first-round pick plus Larry who just signed a five-year, 1 million contract last year with an annual salary of 5 million. Johnson and Chris Childs, who had an annual salary of 5500 million, were packaged and sent to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for air!

Yes, it’s a first-rounder and two talented players in their prime, just for air!

If it were any other time, this deal would have been viewed as an idiotic act that slapped oneself in the face, but at this time, everyone knows the Knicks' Sima Zhao's heart!

Because of this, plus Ewing's salary cut of more than 1800 million, the Knicks have reduced their salary by more than 3000 million US dollars! Overnight, in an almost crazy way, they pushed their total salary below the salary cap by 1000 million US dollars!

They once again have the opportunity to compete for the superstar that the team has always dreamed of: Michael Jordan!

And, this time, no one can compete with them!

After Reinsdorf and Kraus realized that Jordan had no intention of staying with the team, they did not humiliate themselves at all. They did not make an offer to Jordan at all! They know Jordan too well, and they know what kind of insult they will receive if they just make an offer and apply for a contract extension.

Therefore, this time, it is actually just a one-on-one negotiation between Jordan and New York.

The progress of the negotiations is terrifyingly fast, or in other words, New York may have already settled Jordan and Falk long before making these two big moves.

Just before the start of training camp, Michael Jordan announced that he was joining the New York Knicks for 2 million in two years! At the same time, it was officially announced that there was a two-year, 2000 million commercial endorsement contract between Jordan and Coca-Cola Company!

Another blatant violation, another blatant additional contract.

But just like last time, the alliance didn't care, and the others turned a blind eye and had no intention of complaining or reporting.

After all, no one in this league wants to offend the Knicks, Jordan and league officials at the same time!

This is absolutely thankless stupidity!

Well... not really, there are a few people who are very interested in making Jordan feel frustrated and unhappy.

Lin Tian, ​​Bird and the Pacers!

Not only are they not afraid of Jordan and the Knicks, they are even happy to see them defeated.

However, the current Pacers really are not in the mood to look for trouble, and the problems they face are also very big.

The first question is that Charles Barkley is smiling so hard that he can no longer see his eyes. His body is at least 2 circles fatter than half a year ago, and his weight has increased by at least 30 kilograms!

"FUXX! Charles, have you been on a pig farm for half a year? What's going on with all the fat on your body?" Even Lin Tian, ​​who had always been calm and collected, was completely confused now.

Did he give his bottle of fattening potion to Barkley or to Webber? Why did Barkley inflate like an inflated balloon?

He's not just gaining weight, he's actually swollen out of control!

"I can't help it. After winning the championship, I can't help but indulge. I'm so happy this summer, I just can't help it! So I came here this time to tell you that I plan to retire." Barkley smiled. He was leaning on the sofa, looking at him, it seemed that the little amount of activity he had just made him so tired that he didn't even want to move.

"Tell us earlier!" Bird is going crazy. This guy has been going crazy all summer, no!

For a whole summer, autumn and half of winter, for more than 200 days, he didn't say a word about his retirement!

It wasn't until the season was about to start that he rolled over and said he wanted to retire?

FUXX!

In Bird's heart, all he wanted to do was curse!

Although he had long expected that after winning the championship, Barkley's willingness to play would definitely plummet and he would no longer be as desperate as last season, but he never expected that it would plummet to this point.

"You damn flying pig! Stupid scum! I really believed your lies and actually thought you could still play ball! FUXX! Now I really want to kill you directly and then see your fat and brain Which one has more water?"

Bird frantically vented his dissatisfaction and anger. Barkley really made him collapse. But what Bird didn't expect was that Barkley's fat was increasing crazily, but his temper was decreasing rapidly.

After being scolded by Bird like this, Barkley still smiled and said: "Oh, I only signed for one year anyway, and now it is natural to retire, but I will still support you!"

Bird looked at the calm version of Barkley and was helpless. He could only sigh and said: "Then you stay on the team, be a trainer or something, and take care of the newcomers."

"Can I refuse?" Barkley scratched his bald head and said, "I can't get up before 12 o'clock in the morning. If I don't eat three big, fat steaks with a big bottle of Coke for every meal, I won't do it." I feel like I can’t get enough! Fizzy drinks and fried food are so wonderful! Really!”

"Of course, the most important thing is that I have found a new job as a commentator for TNT. I don't have to fly around, I don't have to control my body shape, and I don't even have to get up early! When the time comes, I will say a lot of good things about you!"

"For the rest of my life, I will be with fried chicken, beer, carbonated drinks and all kinds of high-calorie foods, never apart. I found that they are the love of my life, so, Larry, I'm sorry , It’s not that you are bad, it’s just..."

"Get out! Get out!" Bird pointed directly at the door and cursed: "Go live with your fried chicken, beer and cola for the rest of your life!"

Lin Tian felt that this conversation between the two people was almost the same as the declaration of a boyfriend and girlfriend when they broke up!

Just turn basketball, steak, coke and fried food into love and men and women's names, and everything will fit in!

So, love is essentially this thing.

In any case, Barkley finally announced his retirement and once again devoted himself to his life of drunkenness and dreams. At this time, the Pacers had no salary space, and even though Bird had all his hands and eyes, he couldn't find it. A suitable replacement.

"Lin, when training camp comes, you should communicate more with these two guys, Rashad and Al, and ask them to work hard and adapt to the NBA environment as soon as possible. We urgently need them to grow up quickly!"

To be honest, Bird feels a little regretful now. If he had known that this bastard Barkley would give up his pick and retire directly, Bird would never have picked two half-finished power forwards in the draft. Why would he have to choose one who is ready to fight? !

Bird's original plan was to let Barkley teach him for another year, but now, this guy just ran away!

Shameless!

This damn fat pig makes me so angry!

But no matter how angry Bird was, he had nothing to do. He could only go to the free market and search carefully to see if there was any fish that slipped through the net that could be obtained with a basic salary.

Everything in the shortened season goes very quickly. The free market lasts only a few days, and then training camp begins immediately. Many players in the training camp have not even gotten to know each other before the preseason begins.

And when the preseason started, many fans were confused!

They found that although many people were wearing familiar jersey numbers and carrying the same names, the fans could not recognize the fat man in front of them at all!

Barkley, who retires directly after gaining weight, is considered a good person!

There are also many players who are so fat that they can't see anyone when they come to the training camp. They are as fat as two people!

O'Neal, Kemp, Vin Baker, and of course Webb, each of these guys is getting fatter and their game condition is getting worse than the last.

Needless to say, they definitely didn't train much at all during the entire downtime!

A one-week training camp, let alone allowing the team to hone their tactics, is not enough even for these guys to get back in shape and enter the season mode!

This is the only benefit of this year's preseason. Each team has little time to study and polish their lineups in the training camp. The coaching staff's thoughts are almost entirely spent on helping the players find their form and feel. And this means that fans can see regular season-level lineups and games by spending money on preseason games!

Although there are no detailed technical statistics, everyone believes that this year's preseason is definitely the one in NBA history where the main players have the most playing time!

Coaches have basically given up on using preseason games to observe role players and fringe players. They don't have the time!

The main players haven't been inspected yet. Who has the heart to care about the role players?

Even though the main players' playing time increased dramatically in this year's preseason, the performance of most players, hehe, it was really terrible.

Every ballpark in the league, in almost every game, it was a boom-boom-boom.

All that came from the stadium was the sound of iron!

Looking at the preseason performance of each team, Stern was also very helpless.

What can he do?

We can only hope that these players can regain their confidence and feeling for the game quickly, regain their form quickly, and let the level of NBA competition return to its previous heights!

As the preseason begins, the NBA's regular season schedule is also set early.

There is no Christmas game, no New Year's Eve game, and no All-Star Game. It has to be said that this year's NBA regular season lacks a lot of gimmicks.

But fortunately, although this year's NBA lacks a lot of gimmicks, they can keep the season after all! In addition, the NBA has a large number of marketing experts!

No more Christmas war? No problem, we still have a Valentine’s Day battle!

Is there no more New Year’s Eve battle? No problem, we have the Arbor Day Battle!

As long as the fans want to see it, we have it all!

As for the Pacers, they will face their first-round opponent and old enemy of last year's playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in the opening game!

The Cavaliers welcomed the addition of a top insider, Chris Webber, this season. The twin towers formed by him and Kemp also have high hopes from many people, believing that they can cause quite a storm in the Eastern Conference!

In addition, the Pacers will also raise their championship flag and receive their championship ring before the start of this game. This is the first time in Indiana history!

The tickets for this game were sold out early by the fans even though the ticket price has skyrocketed and was even more expensive than the tickets for the finals!

The Indiana people have been waiting for more than 200 days. They were originally able to see this historic moment at the end of October, but now it has been delayed for a full three months!

They have countless passion and blood, which they want to unleash in this game!

In addition to the expectations of the fans, the Pacers players are also looking forward to this day!

This season's Pacers can be said to have gone through a major shake-up. Dumars, Ainge and Barkley, the meritorious players who won last year's championship, have all announced their retirement. In addition, Best and others left as a free agent, as well as the players selected in the draft. With Carter, Lewis and others arriving, the Pacers have many new faces this season!

Their specific lineup was also officially decided before the start of the regular season.

Centers: Rick Schmitz, Ben Wallace, Sam Perkins.

Power forwards: Dale Davis, Mark Pope, Rashard Lewis, Al Harrington. Small forwards: Doug Christie, Chris Mullin, Fred Hoiberg.

Shooting Guards: Reggie Miller, Vince Carter, Eddrick Bohannon.

Point guards: Lin Tian, ​​Greg Buckner.

Bird pieced together things and made constant moves in the free market, and finally completed the team's 15-man roster! After this list was released, at first glance, it actually looked pretty good!

First of all, at the center position, Bird found Sam Perkins, the former No. 4 pick who also represented the Sonics in the Finals in the past two seasons. This is an experienced, calm and sophisticated inside player. Although he is older, he is definitely more than enough as the team's third center and substitute inside man.

Although Barkley has left, the Pacers still have four people at the 4th position. However, despite the large number of people, this position has changed from the absolute strength of the Pacers last season to this one. The most unsafe position of the season.

After all, these four people seem to be able to play a table of mahjong, but in addition to Davis who has been in battle for a long time, Lewis is a high school student, Harrington is also focused on potential, and second-year student Pope did not enter last year. Team rotation.

This position will likely become a key breakthrough point for the Pacers in the new season!

At the small forward position, in addition to the very stable Christie and Hoiberg, who began to enter the rotation in the second half of last year's playoffs, Bird also poached a former superstar from the Warriors. Teammate, Chris Mullin, an old friend who is almost retired now.

The reason why he was able to lure Mullin, an old drunkard, with a basic salary was actually very simple: Bird took out the good wine he had collected for many years and promised that in addition to playing basketball, he would teach him how to be a manager and manage a team.

Yes, Bird had long seen that this old guy wanted to take the management path after retiring, so he did what he wanted and successfully lured him away from the Warriors with a minimum salary, and 'God's Left Hand' will also be in the new season. Playing the role Dumars had last season.

As for the second position, it has now become a position where the Pacers have a very rich reserve of personnel. In addition to the team spirit Reggie Miller, there is also a super genius from North Carolina, who is believed by countless people to be able to grow rapidly in a few years. , Vince Carter who became a superstar!

Coupled with the fact that Eddrick Bohannon, who can be called a sleeping dragon and a phoenix with Mark Pope, has also not been able to enter the team's rotation, as long as there is no injury, the Pacers' second position will not be What's the big problem.

Finally, there is the No. 2 position. Although there are only two people in this position, as long as Lin Tian is there, this position is the strongest position of the Pacers. After all, after the training of the past few years and the prestige played in every game, , Lin Tian is now recognized as the league's number one point guard!

With him here, he is enough to crush all the backcourts in this league!

The team's No. 1 substitute is the older rookie Greg Buckner, whom Bird acquired at the end of the second round.

Buckner is not a talented player, nor does he have great talents. His label is maturity, stability and hard work!

He has played at Clemson University for four years and has always been the leader of the team. He has also broken countless team records and is one of the top 'famous players' in school history! In addition, he was selected to the Atlantic Coast Conference All-Pro second team for two consecutive years, which is the only one in their team history.

But of course, these honors cannot help Buckner win the favor of any team in the NBA. The reason is also very simple: he has no potential, that is, his combat ability is only that much. His height, speed, jumping, wingspan and other talents , is really a bit mediocre on the NBA stage.

But fortunately, he still has hard work and stability, which is also an important reason why Bird selected him.

Bird believed that this guy could withstand the pressure and stabilize the situation during the ten minutes when Lin Tian was away!

From this perspective, among the four rookies of the Pacers this year, except for Carter, who will definitely be trained and have a lot of playing time, Buckner is the one with the most opportunities. Everything depends on whether he can grasp it.

Even if he couldn't grasp it, Bird wasn't too worried.

Because when he organized this lineup, he paid great attention to the swing ability of the players!

Most people on the team can play 2 or even 3 positions!

比如卡特，就被公认为能从1号位打到3号位，刘易斯和艾灵顿两个新秀也是3-4号位摇摆的类型，老将穆林也同样能从3号位往下摇摆到1号位。

In addition, the team's perimeter trio of Lin Tian, ​​Miller and Christie, who won the championship last season, are all versatile talents who can play at least two positions.

The Pacers' lineup looks a bit like future basketball, with flexibility, change, ambiguous positions, and unfixed play styles.

Putting such a group of people in Bird's hands is well worth looking forward to!

Bird is also very satisfied with the lineup he finally formed!

There are strong veterans, potential newcomers, and strong players in their prime! Everything depends on how far the team can go this season and whether it can defend its title!

Lin Tian was also very satisfied with the lineup that Bird conjured up like magic. One night before the start of the regular season, Lin Tian was lying on his bed, looking at the team's lineup, and began to think about what he should do. How to complete the upgrade before the season starts!

Now Lin Tian is a truly rich man. He has accumulated more than 22000 experience points, which is enough for him to complete several skill upgrades!

This time, Lin Tian has a lot of choices!

He can improve the 'offense and defense' or 'first defense' which require the most experience points. These two skills each require over 1 experience points, which can just use up all Lin Tian's inventory.

Of course, Lin Tian can also choose to improve other skills that require less experience to make himself more comprehensive and have a more varied style of play!

Looking at the team's lineup, Lin Tian, ​​who never liked to hesitate, made a decision quickly.

Because of Barkley's departure, the team's ability to rebound and pass after grabbing rebounds has been greatly reduced. Although Davis is tough, he is a pure blue-collar and does not have the ability to pass the ball. So In order to continue to play the Pacers' signature offensive and defensive transitions, rebounds and first passes, Lin Tian has to do it himself!

So his first decision was to use about 4000 experience points to upgrade the 'Peak Moment' that could improve both abilities at the same time.

Moreover, after this skill is upgraded, it can be integrated with the 'One-Handed Quick Pass', which is also at LV3, to form a new skill that will allow Lin Tian to save more experience points when he upgrades next time!

Then, Lin Tian decided to use almost 7000 experience points to improve the skill of 'Flying Pig'. This skill can improve Lin Tian's rebounding, confrontation and jumping! Let Lin Tian become stronger in the new season!

In the end, Lin Tian used all the remaining 11000 experience points on 'offense and defense', his strongest and most comprehensive skill now, giving himself another comprehensive improvement!

"Peak moment LV3 (0/14000): The host's rebounding ability increases by 16%, the ability to find teammates after grabbing rebounds increases by 13%, and if a teammate passes the ball during a fast break and shoots directly without dribbling, the shooting rate increases by 9%! If a teammate shoots within 7 seconds of the start of the offensive round, the shooting rate will be increased by an additional 3%! When using the Williams passing action to pass the ball, the turnover rate will be increased by 5%!"

Then comes the fusion of peak moments and one-handed quick passes!

"Peak Moment LV3 (4000/20000): The host's rebounding ability increases by 16%, the ability to find teammates after grabbing rebounds increases by 13%, and in fast breaks, if a teammate passes the ball and shoots directly without dribbling, the shooting rate increases by 9%! If a teammate shoots within 7 seconds of the start of the offensive round, the hit rate will be increased by an additional 3%! When using the Williams passing action to pass, the turnover rate will be increased by 4%! If a one-handed pass is used, the above passing bonus will be increased by an additional 5%. Increased by 15%, ball speed and accuracy increased by an additional %!”

Looking at this long list of skill introductions, Lin Tian silently gave a thumbs up.

Let’s just say, from now on, who will pass the ball with both hands if they are serious? Just throw it with one hand!

“飞天神猪LV4（0/16000）：力量增加17%，篮板能力增加12%，弹跳增加9%。”

"Integrated offense and defense LV4 (0/28000): Mid-range shooting percentage increased by 9%, finishing ability at the basket increased by 9%, breakthrough ability increased by 9%, rebounding ability increased by 9%, post-up ability increased by 9%, single defense The ability is increased by 9%, the stealing ability is increased by 9%, and the blocking ability is increased by 9%.”

After all three skills were upgraded, the first thing Lin Tian did was of course open the system panel and take a good look at his new upgraded situation!

how to say?

Not to mention the improvement of these data, the feeling of spending more than 2 experience points in one go was so cool!

Chic! No wonder Iverson likes to be a big guy in nightclubs and throw dollars all over the place.

This feeling of paying for it is great!

Especially after consumption, it is even more gratifying to see the improvement in your abilities!

Lin Tian's improvement this time is absolutely all-round, from offense to defense, from rebounding to strength to jumping, shooting, stealing, breakthrough and other abilities have all been improved by level!

Among them, the rebounding ability has been directly improved by two levels!

Moreover, even Lin Tian's three overall ratings have also improved.

The feeling of spending more than 2 yuan in one go is different from that of 8000 or 1 yuan!

Of course, during the six months since the season was suspended, Lin Tian did not train so hard. Compared with the monsters like Kobe and Jordan who take self-abuse as a hobby and take crazy body training as a pleasure, Lin Tian is working hard. It's really a lot different.

For example, in the weight column, Lin Tian's weight is 86KG heavier than last season's 4KG, reaching 90KG. Considering Lin Tian's height, a small steel cannon and a humanoid tank are suitable. It can be called Deron or James in the 90s.

With top speed and top weight in the same position, Lin Tian feels that he can already start to mourn his opponents next season.

Payton, Stockton, and Kidd are destined to be worse than the other.

Well, there are also agile players like Iverson and Marbury. Hey, little brother, have you finished showing off your dribbling? Brother is about to start beating me from behind!

Of course, at present, Lin Tian's current weight of 4KG, although it is not visible through clothes, is completely incomparable with those guys like Barkley and Weber who have gained 15 or even 20 kilograms in half a year, but this 4KG weight is actually It has not completely evolved into effective muscle, most of it is fat.

The most obvious evidence is that Lin Tian's shooting performance was not very good in the two preseason games. His 3-point shooting rate was only 36%, and his overall shooting rate was only 43%!

Compared with his performance in the previous three years, this number is indeed a bit stretched.

But Lin Tian is not worried. Now that he has completed the upgrade, and secondly, as the season progresses, Lin Tian is confident that he can turn all these 4KG of fat into effective muscles, the kind of real living muscles that can make Effective muscle growth against your own!

At most, by the middle of the season, Lin Tian will be able to become a real humanoid tank. Carrying explosives, he can knock 100% of the league's point guards to pieces!

Therefore, Lin Tian is not in a hurry. His strength must be practiced little by little, his muscles must evolve little by little, and the competition must be played one by one.

It's enough to be able to adjust to the perfect state before the playoffs!

In particular, compared to the Pacers' opponents in the opening game, Lin Tian's 4KG of fat is completely worth mentioning!

Because Lin Tian saw the Cavaliers' media day makeup photos.

how to say?

Lin Tian decided to name Camp and Weber's insiders Hefei Combination, or Half-ton Combination, or Fat Double Pig, Meat Bomb Chariot, Fat Fat Le, Plus-size Men's Model...

These two guys are really fat and unattractive!

Anyway, Lin Tian himself is very much looking forward to meeting these two old friends again.

After all, when we met last year, Kemp was still full of muscles and looked like the most violent striker in the 90s.

Webb is also full of talent and aims to become the most gorgeous and talented power forward in NBA history.

Lin Tian also believes that the Cavaliers must have had extremely beautiful dreams when they formed the combination of these two people!

Weber took the ball from a high position to attract the defense, and then suddenly passed the ball. Kemp, who was inside, turned around and passed the defender, then pulled up and dunked with both hands!

Weber took the ball in the low post and hit the ball behind his back. Just as his opponent was about to double-team, Weber suddenly passed the ball behind his back without looking at anyone. Kemp, who was cutting in the air, took the ball with both hands and pulled it up with another violent basket!

Webber can even hold the ball in the high post and play pick-and-roll with Kemp. After the two are separated, one will cut in and the other will move out. Both of them have top-notch defensive containment and offensive capabilities. How can the opponent defend them?

No defense!

Anyway, at least that’s what head coach Fratello imagined!

During the long offseason, he enthusiastically created and designed a perfect system and various connection tactics between the two based on the playing styles of Kemp and Weber!

He even counts the team's other big insider Z Ilgauskas! He thought that at some point, he could try out a three-tower strategy!

Fratello felt in his heart that he had an opportunity to create the top two interior towers and the most gorgeous interior combination in NBA history!

Well, Fratello is smiling all his dreams this offseason!

The only thing he is a little worried about is the relationship between Camp and Weber! After all, these two people are not good people. They both have a history of falling out with their former teammates, and they are both well-known thorns. Fratello is really worried that these two people will fight for the position of the boss. Affects team chemistry.

Hey, there is no other way. When the time comes, just watch yourself show your charm, watch yourself use your leadership qualities to conquer these two big men, and then compose a good story together!

Fratello feels that he has a chance to compete for the best head coach this season!

Then?

Then training camp begins!
