Chapter 555 Jokic Is Also a Foodie (Third Update!)

There is no third answer to this question, it must be answered head-on.

When answering this kind of question, you have to make some trade-offs. Knowing this, it is actually easy to answer.

Whiteside's brain is not very good, and he is very concerned about this kind of thing, which can be seen from the excitement of the 2K value change before the game.

If you give him a blow at this time, you may not know what he will think in his heart.

On the contrary, Jokic is a rookie, and his weight has not been lost, and it is impossible for the Pelicans to let him start.

So what he said was the truth and the most appropriate answer.

"Yes, Hassan performed very well in the preseason. He is our starting center. We believe that he will control the foul problem in the following games."

Williams then nodded.

Whiteside's progress is visible to the naked eye, and his current overall strength is the strongest player at the fifth position of the Pelicans.

If the fouls in a game are not well controlled, it will not allow their coaching staff to adjust the lineup.

"A lion is rising."

After the game between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers, NBA officials reported the game with such headlines.

This is a pun.

It can be understood that the lion is Tang Tian, ​​because Tang Tian has this nickname, and the strength he showed in the game is more comfortable than last season.

The Lions can also be understood as the Pelicans. The Pelicans have gone through the draft and offseason reinforcements, showing amazing competitiveness.

But no matter what kind of understanding it is, one thing is certain, the Pelicans this season is really not as ordinary as ESPN said!

After their opener against the Trail Blazers, the Pelicans return to New Orleans, where their next game is at home against the Heat in two days.

Williams schedules daily shootarounds.

"Thank you, Don!"

Before the training started, Whiteside took the initiative to find Tang Tian to thank him.

He read the news reports and knew that Tang Tian had spoken for himself.

"Don't thank me, I didn't play well in the next game, be careful I kick your ass!"

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Whiteside nodded vigorously.

It was Tang Tian's help last season that allowed him to stay on the team. Tang Tian was like a big brother to him.

The training atmosphere of the Pelicans is still very good. They won the Trail Blazers and made a good start. The self-confidence on the faces of the players is even stronger.

After the training, Nash was still there to instruct Davis on shooting drills, and Tang Tian stayed for extra training as usual.

Jokic didn't leave either, he was there for weight training.

After practicing for more than an hour, both Nash and Davis left.

Tang Tian also sat on the sidelines to rest. He took a sip of water and saw that Jokic was still practicing.

It is really strange to say that Jokic has been in the NBA for more than a month, and he has been losing weight according to the requirements of the coaching staff.

But now it seems that his body shape is basically the same as when he first came.

After another ten minutes, Jokic's training was over, and he walked to the sidelines and sat down panting heavily.

"How much do you weigh?"

Tang Tian turned his head and asked.

Jokic's weight is directly linked to defense.

Now that Jokic has just started playing, the opponents are not so targeted, but as the season progresses, the situation will definitely change.

Especially in the playoffs, if this is still the case, they will definitely be targeted to death.

"133kg."

Jokic gave the answer.

Tang Tian felt a little headache.

I only lost 4 catties in a month, and it was still under professional guidance. This speed is really not ordinary slow.

"Are you born with this physique?"

Tang Tian couldn't help asking.

Jokic in history, who will only land in the NBA next season, he remembers not being as exaggerated now.

Jokic shook his head.

"I used to weigh only about 110 kilograms, but I can't stand in the paint with that weight in Europe, so I have to gain weight."

Hearing this, Tang Tian probably understood.

Europe is dominated by the Great Pyrenees, where the transition speed of offense and defense is much slower than that of the NBA, which leads to the need for tonnage rather than speed inside.

The environment determines the players, just like the fact that there are fewer and fewer traditional NBA centers.

But it shouldn't be said that way. If it's not a physical problem, then the addition should also be subtracted.

"What do you usually eat?"

Tang Tian continued to ask.

After he entered the NBA, in order to adapt to his skills, under the guidance of Cecilia, he lost weight and gained weight. He is quite familiar with this process.

Besides training, diet is another equally important part.

"I follow the requirements of the coaching staff for food intake."

"Didn't steal it?"

Tang Tian asked with a smile, did he remember that he felt very hungry when he lost weight.

Jokic scratched his head shyly when he heard what Tang Tian asked.

The answer is obvious.

"When I'm too hungry to sleep at night, I'll have some brek, but that's all."

Jokic said with some embarrassment.

"brek? what's that?"

Tang Tian had never heard of such a thing before.

"Wait a moment."

Jokic licked his lips and stood up, then trotted out of the training hall.

After a while, he came back with his bag in his hand.

He took a breath and sat down, then took out a roll wrapped in oiled paper.

After opening it, Tang Tian found that it was something like fried spring rolls, one by one, and there was a smell of meat.

"Is that what you call brek?"

Tang Tian looked at Jokic.

Jokic nodded.

"It's very popular in Eastern Europe. I didn't realize it was sold here until I arrived in New Orleans. It's really delicious."

Jokic had an expression that if you weren't here, I would have eaten.

Tang Tian was speechless for a while. Well, it seems that Jokic, like Olsen, is also a foodie.

This seems to make sense. For foodies, losing weight is the most difficult thing.

Tang Tian picked up a brek and ate one, and it was exactly what he thought, it was full of meat.

It's a cross between a meatloaf and a fried spring roll.

"Come on, eat one too."

Tang Tian handed Jokic one as he spoke.

Jokic couldn't bear it long ago, picked up one and chewed it directly in his mouth, enjoying it.

This guy is really like a child who hasn't grown up.

Tang Tian then picked up the remaining brek and took it away.

Jokic looked at him suspiciously.

"That's the last one you eat before you lose weight."

Tang Tian said.

"If you want to lose weight and stay with the Pelicans."

When Tang Tian spoke again, his attitude became obviously serious.

This brek is both meat and deep-fried, which is simply a representative of high-calorie food. Jokic continues to eat this, and there is no need to think about losing weight at all.

"I will ask my nutritionist to formulate a new food list according to your situation, so that you will not be hungry before going to bed at night. As for this, it will be considered as a reward."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he put away the bag of brek.

Jokic gave one last reluctant look, but nodded anyway.

Tang Tian is the boss of the team, and what he said is indeed correct.

Thanks to Xingfeng Xiaoye for the reward!
