Basketball Coach Li

In July after the draft, the free trading market was opened, and the teams began to patch up.

The 76ers that Li Nan pays attention to have also moved.

"Veteran Wilkins joins the Philadelphia 76ers!"

"Eric Snow joins the Philadelphia 76ers!"

Don Macron, Overton...These players were traded away and replaced with role players.

Frank King and Mark Blanco did not get the 76ers' contract extension.

To Li Nan's surprise, Williams, Stackhouse and Coleman, who had been clamoring to leave, were not traded.

The Larry Brown team retained the main players from last season.

Iverson, Li Nan, Witherspoon, Williams, Coleman, Stackhouse, Nash, Mark Davis!

In the draft, the 76ers selected the big man Kevin Cato with the 15th overall pick in the first round. He had two picks in the second round. They selected small forward Cobb Stewart and small point guard James Collins.

Plus Wilkins and Snow joined by free agents!

The 76ers now have a lot of backcourt staff.

"How will Larry Brown fix it?"

At this moment, Li Nan received a call from Larry Brown.

"Lee, I watched a lot of your games last season. To be honest, I am very optimistic about you. Everyone says you are Jordan's successor. I think there is no doubt that you have this potential."

As soon as they came up, they praised you, and Li Nan naturally wanted to respond well.

"Thank you, Coach Brown, you have always been a coach I admire very much. I very much agree with your teaching philosophy. Team basketball! This is the basketball in my mind."

"Huh? Really?" Larry Brown smiled on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Lee, I heard Davis talk about you. You are a very thoughtful person, a very nice young man. That's it. After I came, do you have any other thoughts on the team next season?"

Larry Brown actually talked to Li Nan about the construction of the 76ers. Li Nan will not be so stupid. That's your business.

"The current league is a league where defense is the mainstream. Last season we were able to make the playoffs with such a bad defense. Here you are, I think the 76ers will definitely go further."

"Hen~" Larry Brown smiled again, "Lee, you are a smart guy, coaching you to play will definitely be a great experience."

"It's an honor to play under your coach Brown."

The two chatted slowly.

Until the end, when he hung up, Larry Brown didn't explain what he meant.

However, another call came afterwards, Davis, who had become an assistant coach.

"Li, there is a contract here. When will you be free to sign?"

"Contract? What contract?"

If the contract is to be renewed, the meaning of Larry Brown’s call today will be obvious.

However, Davis said, "This is a one-year contract, 2 million! Anyway, you will change your contract for next season. This is what Larry Brown just suggested to the boss."

Larry Brown is okay? Give a sweet date? Win?

Li Nan didn't know what Larry Brown meant, but he didn't take the free money. Li Nan also laughed.

"Yes, Davis, I'm free anytime."

...

The July summer league is about to begin.

Players from the Chinese National Basketball Team also came to Philadelphia to train at the Wachovia Center Arena. The Philadelphia 76ers sent out several coaches to assist with training. This was negotiated when the 76ers signed Li Nan before.

The Chinese team came here to prepare. In mid-July they will participate in the summer league, in August there will be the Asian Challenge in China, and in September there will be the Asian Championships in Saudi Arabia.

Li Nan, who came with the team, saw Larry Brown for the first time.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, Larry Brown looked like a wise old man.

"Lee, I hope you still don't participate in some national team games. For example, the summer league. Those are not worth it."

"Well, coach, don't worry."

Of course, Li Nan stopped playing such unimportant games as the summer league.

It's okay for Li Nan to play well, but if he doesn't play well, it's a shame. After all, Li Nan is now a person with status.

Li Nan is mainly practicing. What to practice? Of course it's ball control, organization, various techniques. And more important is a new trick.

哐, 哐, 哐~

Li Nan kept hitting the iron, but he kept trying.

Liu Yudong stood with his arms on one side, "Xiao Li, you can't do this. No one but me can do this trick."

"Hen~ that's not necessarily!"

Li Nan didn't even glance at Liu Yudong, then came again.

Holding the ball high in both hands, the whole person is also standing upright. This is the starting position of the action.

is coming.

Li Nan bent his knees slightly, exerted force under his feet, jumped up, and shot before getting closer.

哐.

The ball still missed.

However, Li Nan shook his head.

"Almost."

"Is it almost? How bad is your difference?" Liu Yudong couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave Li Nan a demonstration.

Almost straight knees took off, straight arms shot in the air, the ball walked a nice arc.

Whoosh! In.

This is Liu Yudong's shooting stunt, shooting with straight knees and arms.

This kind of shooting relies on the sudden jump of the straight knee and the length of the straight arm, which makes the opponent beyond the reach of the ball.

"Did you see it? This is the authentic straight-arm and straight-knee shooting! Your jump can't jump, and you can't make a shot. It's really far from me."

Liu Yudong, the big brother, is also quite proud.

Your little brother is an NBA star, and now this little brother is still learning his own tricks, can you be surprised?

Seeing Liu Yudong's behavior, Li Nan reminded again: "Brother Dong, you hurt your knee too much with this action, so let's use it less in the future."

"I know, I know, how many times I have said it." Liu Yudong waved his hand, looking very impatient.

Li Nan has to continue. How many pieces did this old man have broken his knee? Can't let him repeat the same mistakes.

"Brother Dong, must you feel uncomfortable after the knee last season? Walk around, I'll show you a good hospital."

"I'm not hurt, what kind of hospital should I go to?" Liu Yudong's attitude was very firm, and he said he would not go.

Li Nan hooked his shoulders, "Brother, don't worry, I will pay the money."

Liu Yudong's eyes rolled, and then he turned his head faintly, "Then...Since there is only so much filial piety, then I will reluctantly take a look."

"Hey~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Brother Dong, slow down."

Li Nan was hooked up and quickly left the court...

...

The Chinese team's training camp soon ended the trip to Philadelphia and began the summer league.

Li Nan did not play in the summer league, and Liu Yudong and others did not have much time to play, but Wang Dazhi on the other side played very hard.

Wang Dazhi represents the Denver Nuggets, and this kid is really attentive.

In the summer league games, Wang Dazhi also played very well, averaging 22 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, very eye-catching.

The Nuggets finished in the top four of the summer league.

And the Chinese National Men's Basketball Team is in the group stage and bye.

This is the end of the Chinese team’s training camp in the United States. The time has come to August, and the international game day is coming.
