There are many skills to improve rebounding, but most have height requirements.

After all, rebounding is a statistic closely related to height, and it generally belongs to the team's big men.

But there are also some exceptions, such as Dejounte Murray, Rondo, Kidd, Westbrook, and Oscar Robertson.

In the Gold Farming System, these are also different levels of skill packages.

After screening, Tang Tian finally chose to redeem the blue skill Rebounding Expert (Dejounte Murray).

Of course, there are better ones, but those are at least purple level.

He is now focused on redeeming Legend skills, and spending too much Gold Farming Value on this would be a losing proposition.

In comparison, the blue skill, which only costs 2 million Gold Farming Value, is more cost-effective for him.

Rebounding Expert (Dejounte Murray): Increases rebound landing point judgment by 10% and box-out ability by 10%.

The blue skill has limited attribute bonuses, but it is enough for Tang Tian.

He pulled up the attribute panel and saw that the rebounding attributes on both the first and second-level pages had changed.

The overall rebounding rating on the first-level page increased from 62 to 70.

On the second-level page, offensive rebounding increased from 44 to 50, and defensive rebounding increased from 65 to 75.

Tang Tian is a swingman who mainly plays shooting guard. His height is 2.03 meters, which gives him a height advantage when matched up against players in the same position.

With this skill bonus, plus the existence of Carter in the team, it shouldn't be a problem to get ten or so rebounds in a game.

After redeeming the skill, the plane also returned to New Orleans.

The next day, Tang Tian participated in the last training day of the Hard Training Brothers training camp.

This was pretty much just a formality for him.

Butler and Thompson both went to the Olympics like Tang Tian, and Tang Tian knew their strength.

However, Walker's progress was a bit surprising. The guard that Jordan thought could never win a championship had improved by leaps and bounds, much stronger than his historical counterpart.

It seems that the Hard Training Brothers training camp has been a great help to him.

"You will have the best season of your career next season."

Tang Tian said very seriously, and in a very happy tone.

The new season is also Walker's contract year. If Walker can perform well, he is expected to win a big contract for himself.

Among these Hard Training Brothers, Walker was the one who fought with him in the NCAA, and he was also the closest.

So he was really happy for Walker.

When the training camp came to the time of parting, they started their daily clamoring for championships again.

Besides Walker, Butler with the Mavericks, Irving with the Cavaliers, Thompson with the Warriors, and Tang Tian with the Pelicans, were all hot favorites to win the championship in the new season.

In terms of limelight, they completely overshadowed the Wind and Dust Four Heroes.

As the Hard Training Brothers training camp ended, the Pelicans' new season training camp immediately kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

Jokic, Davis, Brogdon, and Siakam, they participated in training camps one after another, and gained a lot in the summer.

With the team's training camp open, the Pelicans' players also returned to the team one after another.

In less than two days after the training camp started, all the players, including those with training camp contracts, had arrived.

Winning the championship last season was inspiring, but for them, it was just the beginning.

In fact, one championship doesn't say much.

The minimum standard for a dynasty is a three-peat, and their primary goal for the new season is to defend their title.

Because each of the strong teams has been sufficiently strengthened this past summer, the difficulty of defending the title will be historic, so they must work even harder.

"I missed you guys so much!"

The atmosphere of the training camp was serious, but Bojan was still the same Bojan. He shouted as soon as he arrived at the team, a complete treasure to the team.

"You should go to China to perform cross-talk."

Tang Tian shook his head with a smile. This sentence was too familiar to a Chinese person.

Bojan looked dazed, but he still nodded with a smile.

"I must go to China next summer, that guy Nikola made me drool all over the place talking about it."

Tang Tian laughed when he heard Bojan's next words. This guy is really funny.

The Pelicans' roster for the new season has changed compared to last season.

There are not many changes in the starting lineup, which will still be Holiday, Tang Tian, ​​Ariza, Davis, and Jokic.

The biggest change is the bench. Dinwiddie, Aminu, and McGee, who rotated last season, have all left.

The current bench lineup is Deron, Stephenson, Bojan, David West, and Biyombo.

Plus Brogdon, Joe Harris, Gary Forbes, Siakam, Harrell, and Boban Marjanovic on the bench.

Compared with last season, the team has more immediate combat power. As long as they integrate well, even if the opponents become stronger, the chance of successfully defending the title is very high.

After everyone arrived, Stevens led the team for the first full-court scrimmage of the training camp.

In the past summer, in addition to player changes, there were also changes in the Pelicans' coaching staff.

Mike Brown did a good job with the Pelicans last season, and he got a head coaching job with the Grizzlies because of it.

The position of the Pelicans' first assistant coach is still vacant.

Before finding a suitable assistant coach, Stevens can only lead the training himself.

The full-court scrimmage training is the same as usual, with the starting group, the bench group, and the reserve group.

Stevens observed the players' condition from the sidelines. Not only the rookies, but also the old players will have ups and downs after a offseason.

Biyombo's condition looked very general. It seems that he didn't spend much effort on training this past summer.

The two veterans, Deron and David West, integrated quickly. This is also a characteristic of veteran players.

Brogdon and Siakam's performance exceeded his expectations. The team has made another profit in the draft this year.

However, these have little impact on the team. The real impact comes from two people.

One is Ariza, and the other is Tang Tian.

Ariza's touch is quite low, and his body fat percentage is also high.

Tang Tian's condition looks better than last season, especially his protection of rebounds, which is very much in place.

While the training continued, Stevens was adjusting the lineup and player status while also screening assistant coaches with general manager Demps.

After several rounds, several names appeared in front of him.

David Fizdale, Alvin Gentry, Lionel Hollins, and Mike Woodson.

These coaches are all quite famous.

Fizdale was the first assistant coach of the Heat's Big Three in the past.

Gentry has a head coaching resume, and he performed well. He led Nash, who was at the end of his career, to the Western Conference Finals.

Woodson, as the former Knicks coach, also led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals with his top-notch defensive skills.

Hollins, needless to say, applied for the job last season.

These coaches have one thing in common: they have the strength of a head coach, but not the opportunity to be one.

After all, there are only 30 head coaching positions in the NBA. There is no chance this season, and they can only look forward to next season.

The Pelicans are the best stepping stone for them. Mike Brown succeeded, and they naturally want to be the next one.
