At the end of August, the Indiana Pacers held a jersey launch at the Conseco Arena for the new signings who joined the team this summer. Miller was invited to present Ray in front of more than a hundred media outlets. Allen's brand new No. 34 jersey and gave it to Ray. Aaron's hands.

After nearly two months with the Pacers, Ray Murphy joined the Pacers. Allen, the league's top shooter, finally lifted his corn-yellow jersey with the Pacers in front of everyone.

Thunder. Instead of continuing the No. 20 he wore with the Celtics, Allen opted for his No. 34 in college and the SuperSonics. Since the Celts 34 were taken by Paul. Pierce occupies so Ray. Aaron had only been wearing the number 20 for that long.

Now that he has finally broken away from the Celtics, Ray has finally broken away. Aaron naturally switched back to his favorite number. And changing back to No. 34 also means that he has completely disconnected himself from his Green Shirt career. And invited Reggie. Miller came to give Ray. Allen's jersey also has some sense of inheritance in it.

Of course, Ray is not the only one who is meeting today. Allen alone, as well as Henson's newly signed young point guard... Augustin also showed off his jersey in front of everyone. But everyone knows that Augustine is not the protagonist. To put it bluntly, Augustine was just brought to the press conference "by the way".

After that, Henson and Bird also took the stage and spoke casually. Starting today, the Pacers' championship is history. A brand new season has begun!

After August, at the beginning of September, NBA teams have gradually begun their preseason training camp arrangements.

This year's pre-season camp program was laid out early on, and it was more detailed and comprehensive than ever before. The reason for this is that Henson and Vogel no longer have to scratch their heads over the development of preseason training camp, and Brad, a new member of the Pacers coaching staff, is no longer in the game. Stevens, took care of everything very well.

What Henson and Vogel had to do was revise the big framework that Stevens had laid out. Undoubtedly, this has greatly improved the efficiency of work and also improved the quality of the program.

So when the players appeared on the training ground at the Consec Arena with a smile, they didn't know that the "ruthless" Henson. Coach Joe, has planned ten thousand and one ways to "torture" them.

Before that, Henson finally moved out of the preseason training camp level where he finally got a badge after winning the championship last season!

The effect is that a certain player is assigned to participate in a certain type of training, and then that player's ability will be permanently increased by 5, and the effect can be stacked!

This badge can only be used once a year, during pre-season training camp. At present, the effect can only be applied to one person at a time. Henson doesn't know if he will be able to benefit more players at the same time after this badge is upgraded.

There is no doubt that this is a way for a player to improve quickly in a certain ability, and it is worthy of being rewarded after winning a championship.

And this summer, Henson used this effect on Paul. On George!

Leonard himself has a cumulative 40 improvement speed bonus, and there is no need to worry about his shooting, I believe Leonard must have improved a lot this season. Henson then assigned George to train his dribbling frantically, and then applied the badge effect to George.

That said, regardless of how George's performance in training is next, his dribbling ability will improve significantly after pre-season training camp.

George's only weakness on the offensive end is his weak dribbling ability due to his high center of gravity, but Henson believes that after such a preseason training camp, George will be transformed into a more versatile scorer in the new season!

The rookies who were drafted into the league by Henson in the first place are about to cash in on their talents. That's why Henson only strengthened Ray this summer. In the case of Allen and Augustine, there are still reasons why the team is guaranteed to be stronger than last season.

It's true that they haven't brought in more and stronger players, but the group that Henson originally had, with the speed of improvement, will definitely become very different from last season.

Paul. George, Stephenson, Danny. Green and Leonard...... Henson is really looking forward to seeing this group of young people turn over the sea in the field!

Before the start of the new season, the signboard outside the Consec Arena is undergoing a massive change. Because starting next season, the name Consecco Arena will be history, and the home court of Henson and the Pacers will be renamed "Bankers Living Arena."

As early as last year, the company that sponsors the Pacers Arena officially changed its name to CNO Financial Group. Therefore, the name of the Pacers arena must also be changed this year, and Banker Life is the main product line of CNO Financial Group, so the new name "Banker Life" was born.

Although the name of the stadium has changed, the fans' love for the team will not change, and the players' determination to successfully defend the title will not be diminished.

The camp went very smoothly and everyone had their own special training sessions. Then, every afternoon, Henson organises a 24-minute training match to get the players into the system as quickly as possible and find a feel for the game.

In the past few days, the main team has defeated the substitute team without any suspense. But today's game was so intense that it greatly exceeded Henson's expectations.

At this time, the main team in white training vests was attacking, and they were only one point ahead. Paul deliberately passed the ball to George, and both he and Henson hoped that the lanky 24 would be able to adapt to the role of top scorer as soon as possible!

But the No. 21 defender who defended in front of George became the reason why the substitute team has been biting the score today!

"Jimmy. Butler has improved more than I could have imagined! Watching Butler once again defend George almost perfectly, Henson couldn't help but admire.

Last season, Henson's high-potential first-round No. 30 rookie Jimmy was traded for a try-and-try mentality. Butler, who was very active in training camp.

He always goes to defend the top scorers of the main team, and he does it well. On the offensive end, Butler's shooting is also much more consistent than last season, and he is also a good offensive player with the ball. Overall, except for a slightly lower three-point shooting percentage, there are almost no obvious shortcomings!

Last season Jimmy. Butler didn't get much of a chance to play, and he didn't make the 12-man squad in the playoffs. However, Henson has never forgotten the kid who looks a little like Jordan, but he also didn't expect that Butler's surprise would be so huge.

As he spoke, the substitute first team advanced quickly after a successful defense. Jimmy. Butler borrowed Yi Jianlian's cover to kill the penalty area, and let the back fly to help the team overtake by one point!

"Well done, Jimmy!" Henson couldn't help but yell, and Butler just smiled confidently at Henson.

Last season, Brooks relied on James. Harden, the best sixth man, made it to the Finals. After watching Jimmy. After Butler's performance, Henson found himself finally finding a "Sixth Man of the Year" candidate.

In the new season, Jimmy. Butler will definitely be able to join forces with Stephenson and become a desperate guard combination on the Pacers' bench!

Jimmy. Butler's unexpected joy made Henson realize that his wealth had become more and more numerous.

Paul. George, Stephenson, Danny. Green and Leonard...... Well, don't forget there's also a Jimmy. Butler.

Throughout the summer, every team was busy reinforcing from the outside. The Heat are desperate to find shooters and centers, and the Los Angeles Lakers have formed an F4 that is even more terrifying than the Heat Big Three......

However, the reinforcement of the Pacers has started from the inside without realizing it......
