Super Role Player

Vol 3 Chapter 26: ready

On October 25, 2013, the Philadelphia 76ers held a press conference in their training hall. Prior to this, they had officially announced the layoff of three players.

And this press conference is to announce the signing of a non-guaranteed official contract with the remaining players.

The three players laid off are shooting guard Lorenzo Brown, power forward Brandon Davis and center Dwyane Dedmond.

In this way, among the remaining players, Elliott Williams, James Anderson, Hollis Thompson and Byron Mullens signed a one-year non-profit agreement with the 76ers under the auspices of Sam Sinki. The guaranteed basic salary is temporarily left in the team, because the contract is a non-guaranteed basic salary, so they may still be waived.

The 76ers' 15-man roster was also released.

Point guards: Michael Carter Williams, Sean Livingston, Tony Roten;

Shooting guards: Anxi, James Anderson, Elliott Williams;

Small forwards: Evan Turner, Jay Crowder, Francisco Garcia, Hollis Thompson;

Power forwards: Thaddeus Young, Henry Sims;

Centers: Spencer Hawes, Cole Aldridge, Byron Mullens.

Finally, add a Norrence Knoll who has been reimbursed for the season and applied for an injury exception.

The 15-man roster was released, and the questioning about McAway reappeared, but this time, the questioning was about the strength of the 76ers. McAway, Sean Livingston, and Tony Roten formed the point guard line. How to see how weak the chicken.

Faced with the reporter’s question about who the 76ers’ starting point guard is in the new season, Brett Brown did not answer, but in fact, Brett Brown already has the answer. The team training before the press conference was the same all-rounder. Kawei is back, so the starting point guard for the new season can only be McAwe.

McAway regained his self-confidence, and at the same time he understood that he should use his strengths and avoid weaknesses throughout the team training game. McAway was using his breakthroughs, his possession and his passing, torturing Tony Roten.

Brett Brown did not answer, just because he had to take into account the ideas of other players. He said before that the starting line is a competition and everyone has the opportunity to start, so Brett Brown can’t say that the starting line must be McAway’s. .

But Brett Brown didn’t want to answer. In Henry Abbot’s eyes, it turned out that the 76ers could not find a qualified starting point guard. Therefore, before the start of the season, Henry Abbot’s final prediction would be The Philadelphia 76ers ranked 12th in the East, and third from the bottom in the East.

His reason is very simple. The 76ers can't even make a starting lineup, so there is no need to think about the playoffs. The twelfth in the East is the most likely position for the 76ers.

In his rookie prediction rankings, McAway ranks 62nd among all rookies, which is basically a countdown, and even some undrafted rookies and older rookies have overtaken McAway.

Another important ranking, in the league player rankings, Anxi was ranked 56th by Henry Abbott. He believes that Anxi will be an All-Star in the new season, but only an All-Star.

McAway, ranked 62nd among rookies, is directly the bottom of the league's player rankings. He is ranked 441th out of 446 players in the league. Only 5 players in the league are worse than him.

...

Henry Abbot’s ranking is considered to have been recognized to a certain extent, because this is the strength of the 76ers in the preseason, and so is the strength of McAway. On the other hand, Zachlowe’s pre-season prospects are also It came out soon, but the pre-season preview of the data expert who has always been considered an authoritative has attracted countless controversies.

First of all, Zachlowe believes that the Brooklyn Nets, which make up the Big Five, are not the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. He believes that the Nets are only the top five teams in the Eastern Conference. The New York Knicks in the new season are not the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. Clovey believes that the new season's Knicks will be the edge of the playoffs team.

The rankings of these two New York teams have attracted countless controversies for Zachlovi. After all, one constitutes the Big Five and the other is second in the Eastern Conference last season. The main lineup has not been lost. As for the 76ers, Zachlovi The 76ers ranked ninth in the East, which is the edge of the playoffs, just like the New York Knicks.

In addition, Zachlovi also believes that Anxi is the most unpredictable player in the new season. The lack of playing time in the preseason of Anxi is difficult to calculate. In addition, Anxi also has a 56-point performance in a single game, which makes Zach Lowe didn't know where to rank Anxi, and in the end he could only give Anxi a 30th place in the league and added a sentence to the 76ers' ranking.

"The 76ers have a chance to make the playoffs, but it depends on Anxi's performance."

In other words, Zachlowi ranked the 76ers at ninth, which is actually just his conservative ranking. If Anxi performs better, he even thinks that the 76ers should be ranked higher!

But, in this way, his colleague Henry Abbott is dissatisfied. In his opinion, Zachlowe’s ranking is completely different from him. This is obviously against him and fighting him. Therefore, Henry A. Burt made a comment on his social media, targeting McAway and Zachlowe...

Because Zachlowe did not comment on McAway, and in Henry Abbott’s view, the 76ers’ biggest weakness is McAway’s No. 11 rookie this season, and Zachlowe’s pre-season preview The biggest problem in China is the neglect of McAway.

"Zachlowe thinks the Philadelphia 76ers have a chance to make the playoffs, but his remarks are a joke in my opinion. Maybe he ignored McAway, an 11th rookie destined to be a parallel importer, maybe he I also think that McAway will become a qualified starting point guard, but in fact, with McAway’s strength, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the league..."

...

In the Philadelphia training hall, although autumn has arrived, the summer heat has not yet dissipated. Brett Brown sweated profusely from the sidelines and yelled, and the 76ers on the field were conducting deeper tactical training.

"Hurry up! Run! Michael, pass the ball! Pass the ball! Don't stick the ball!"

"Ann, just throw the ball! Just throw the ball! Understand? Don't stick the ball!"

In short, don't stick to the ball. Brett Brown hopes to see a team that can move the ball quickly. The game will flow smoothly when the ball moves. And the 76ers' biggest advantage-passing, will also be used.

McAway has gradually adapted to the team's tactics, and the only problems in the starting lineup are the lack of an excellent three-point shooter and the lack of a defender. In the starting lineup, only Anxi has the ability to shoot three points. Firepower is relatively lacking, and Spencer Hawes’s ability to protect the frame is relatively weak. If adjusted, only Cole Aldridge can be the starter, but Brett Brown doesn’t know how big the impact of these two issues is. The game has not started yet, and the actual test is the most important.

After the training, Anxi collapsed directly on a chair on the sidelines.

McAway handed Anxi a towel, Anxi smiled and said thank you.

On the other hand, James Anderson is not as tired as Anxi. After all, Brett Brown is not as hard-working as Anxi as a bench. After training, James Anderson took out his phone and swiped it for a while, and then it was like discovering a new world. The general screamed.

"Wow, ESPN's season preview has come out. Henry Abbott and Zachlowe have a fight."

Anxi smiled: "It must be the guy Henry Abbott who hacked us."

James Anderson immediately gave Anxi a thumbs up: "Ann is right. Henry Abbott thinks we are the third-lowest team in the East, and Zachlowe thinks that we are the ninth in the East, and even have a chance to break in. Playoffs."

An Xi nodded: "They are all wrong."

"All wrong?"

"We are already a playoff team!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed. Now the 76ers are quite optimistic. Under Anxi's leadership...

Brett Brown on the side also smiled. This relaxed and confident team atmosphere is a bit like the Spurs, which is a good phenomenon.

"By the way, Henry Abbott thinks Michael is the league's bottom rookie and the league's bottom player, haha! I think this is the funniest!" James Anderson laughed, and the other 76ers also laughed. Up.

After the end of the preseason journey, the 76ers have in-team training games almost every day, and McAway’s performance is getting better day by day. In the last few training games in the team, they have played against Anxi. A tie with another team led by Anxi, the current state can be described as hot.

Henry Abbott actually said that McAway is the bottom rookie and player in the league, which is simply a joke.

Anxi grinned and said, "Henry Abbott thinks his face is not swollen enough~www.novelmtl.com~Michael, you can do well in the next game."

McAway’s face was always filled with a smile, that kind of confident smile. After he heard An Xi’s words, he nodded fiercely: "I will!"

The Sixers’ opponent in the regular season’s first game is the Heat. McAway has no fear. The opponents are very strong. The big three are making a comeback. At the beginning of the season, they met Anxi, who suffered last season. Obviously they will not let go. With this opportunity for revenge, their goal is not victory, but a big victory.

The 76ers are already ready to go. Before the start of the regular season, Anxi summed up the bonuses of the jersey system.

"Three-point attribute bonus of 90; mid-range shooting attribute bonus of 85; single defense attribute bonus of 99; steal attribute bonus of 95; off-ball attribute bonus of 70; back attribute bonus of 80; ball possession attribute bonus of 83; urgent Stop jumper attribute bonus 70; breakthrough attribute bonus 60; backward jumper attribute bonus 99; low attribute bonus 70."

Coupled with the dual consciousness attribute of around 85, Anxi has also made preparations early in the new season. He is about to start to kill the Quartet. (To be continued.)
