By mid-September, after a long off-season, training camps for the teams began one after another.
The first day of training camp, not only did the Cavaliers have full attendance, but this time there was no need for Garnett to spout trash talk, the players' enthusiasm in training was at its peak.
They had been holding back all summer, just waiting for the new season to show their stuff.
Irving's playmaking abilities still needed to be developed in actual games, but his defensive commitment was stronger than ever.
This change was more inspiring than any trash talk.
Fans often complain about why their team's role players are not active, which is largely related to the attitude of the team's core players.
When your core players only care about scoring points for themselves, even giving up defending to have the stamina to score, it's no wonder the role players lack motivation.
