NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

"I've watched a few of his fights and I know he's very efficient at fast-breaking. Chang Tiancheng scratched his head, "But what I'm thinking about is that if we let him participate in the fast attack together, will it consume his body too much?

Ginobili explained, "And Wembanyama's physical fitness is not as fragile as it seems." Although he is often compared to the Thunder's Chet Holmgren, he is actually nearly 20 kilograms heavier than Holmgren.

Chang Tiancheng nodded, indicating that he had understood the team's tactical intentions, and said that he would play according to the team's predetermined routine next season.

After greeting the two celebrities for a while, Chang Tiancheng began to start a new day of training with his teammates.

Ginobili sat on the sidelines and watched the players, and began to discuss with Duncan next to him with great interest: "Tim, who do you think will be able to stay with Wembanyama after Wembanyama arrives?"

"In addition to Chang, I think Sochan and Branham will definitely stay, and Vassell and Keldon will need to see how they perform in the future, and they are not the kind of people who can't be traded right now. As for the other role players, I think the team will make a decisive move whenever they find a good trade opportunity. At this, Duncan couldn't help but sigh, "Honestly, Manu, I really don't want to see this happen. You should also understand that if you want a team to be competitive for a long time, you need to have a group of players who have always played together, just like we did at the beginning.

"Alright Tim, you don't have to think too much about it. Ginobili reassured, "Now is the most critical period for the team to rebuild, isn't it normal for the team to have a lot of turnover at this time? When the lineup is completely stable, there will naturally not be such a high frequency of transactions.

"That's what you're saying. Duncan nodded, "The most important thing at the moment is to help Wembanyama find a blue-collar interior lineman, listen to the team, they don't want to spend too much money to bring in reinforcements, then in fact, we don't have a lot of options."

"If you can't do it, you can come back and play in person, and by the way, you can also coach Wembanyama on how to play in the NBA." Ginobili grinned.

"We're talking about serious things. Duncan rubbed Ginobili's bald head hard, "Seriously, we should also go and see which free agents are more suitable in the market during this time."

"I've got to leave this to you, I don't know about your interior players. Ginobili doesn't seem to be very concerned about finding an inside helper for Wembanyama, "I can see which players can be signed to play with Chang for a seven-second break."

"You're going to put your usual priorities higher than Wembanyama. Duncan's expression was a little surprised, "I admit that Chang has played really well in these games, but the team's future tactical core should still be Wembanyama." Chang can play the role of a second-in-command, don't you think?"

"Theoretically, that's true, but I've always felt that if Chang Lai was allowed to lead the team, maybe the team's ceiling would be higher..."

After listening to Ginori's words, Duncan focused his eyes on the court in the training hall and began to re-examine Chang Tiancheng.

Anyone who has watched the Spurs play knows that Chang Tiancheng has performed as well as any of the top guards in the league in the games he has played, and has been discussed more in fans and media than Jeremy Lin during the Knickslin's madness.

The only problem is injuries.

Although the Spurs are very confident in Chang Tiancheng's recovery, the outside world's disapproval of Duncan is also heard.

You know, Chang Tiancheng has just been drafted by the NBA, he was seriously injured in the summer league, and after being traded to the Spurs, he only played less than three games before he suffered an injury that was enough to ruin his career, which had to make Duncan worry about Chang Tiancheng's attendance next season.

The advantage is that you play very well, but the disadvantage is that you don't play much.

If that happens, then it will be impossible for Wembanyama alone to complete the resurgence of the Spurs.

But judging from today's training situation, Chang Tiancheng seems to be recovering very well, which also makes Duncan's heart that has been worried a little relaxed.

A few days later, in the draft, San Antonio selected Wembanyama from France without any suspense.

On the day Wembanyama was chosen, Popovich called Chang Tiancheng and asked him to come to his home to have dinner with Wembanyama.

Chang Tiancheng readily agreed, he naturally understood what Popovich's intentions were.

When he came to Popovich's house, he was greeted by Wembanyama, who was a head taller than the people around him even when he was sitting, and he was greeting Popovich at this time.

After seeing Chang Tiancheng coming, Popovich beckoned to him: "Chang, come over here."

Chang Tiancheng came to Popovich and sat down, looked up at Wembanyama in front of him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Wemban, we have been looking forward to you for a long time."

Wembanyama also nodded in response to Chang Tiancheng: "Chang, I've watched your game, it's not that I mean to flatter, but I really think your strength should be one of the strongest guards in the league."

"Often, I'd like to ask you what you think of Keldon and Vassell. Popovich didn't say much to Chang Tiancheng, but went straight to the point.

Chang Tiancheng was a little surprised when he heard this question, he thought that Popovich called him over just to let him meet and talk to Wembanyama, after all, the two of them will be partners for a long time in the future, and there is definitely no harm in getting acquainted with each other in advance. But he didn't expect Popovich to ask what he thought of the players on the team.

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Tiancheng realized that his answer was likely to determine the future of these two in the team.
