Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 30
"...In short, don't worry outside, I won't talk nonsense with your father. You just take good care of yourself, and you don't need to worry about other things..."

Li Sheng was somewhat moved when he heard his mother's words. Although he was not his real parents, he felt sorry for the world's parents, and he could empathize with the same pure feelings.

"I see, you should also pay attention and take care of yourself. When I'm free in a while, I'll go back to China to see you..."

After the end of the summer league, there are still more than two months before the start of the new season. In addition to dealing with some trivial matters before and after, Li Sheng will have at least one month of free time, and he plans to go back then.

Of course, considering the current situation, he felt that he might need to form a team, or at least need a manager and assistants to help him share some work matters.

Every time someone in the country who has made "pioneering" progress in a certain field will become a star traffic sought after by the whole people in a short period of time, especially when the officials will personally end the game and actively promote it in all aspects.

As we all know, there are only two countries in the world, one is China and the other is "foreign". In the eyes of netizens, China has to compare with foreign countries in every aspect, and then come to the conclusion that China is not good enough.

In response to such remarks, the best way is of course to speak with facts and try to be the top in all aspects. Anyway, there are many Chinese people, and more than one billion people produce an elite in a certain field. Isn't that the same as playing except for football?
As the current unique Chinese basketball coach, Li Sheng must have this impetus behind his domestic momentum.

Because he is still abroad now, and the recent public opinion in the American basketball circle is "unfavorable to me", so Li Sheng has not yet been able to truly feel how strong his positive influence in the country is.

But at least one thing can be confirmed from the experience of the family members. If I go back at that time, I will definitely have to deal with people from all walks of life.

There are benefits in this, but there will definitely be some troubles, such as various entrusted favors, whether it is official or smuggling personal relationships.

As a humane society, this phenomenon is unavoidable, unless you are isolated from the world and have no contact with anyone.

Although Li Sheng is no longer the former Li Sheng, he still avoids this aspect of things as much as he can. He can't say that he is repulsive, but he definitely doesn't like it.

After all, this kind of occasion usually requires hypocrisy and flattery, and puts on airs, which is too tiring for him.

They are all reborn, why do they have to live so tiringly?

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best solution to properly hand things over to other people to help.

It's better to have someone stand in front of you and "talk about business" than to put on a bad face yourself; if the negotiation breaks down, depending on the situation, you can personally come forward to make it up. This is the importance of a manager.

Parents naturally don't know their children well, so when Li Sheng contacted them at first, they were inevitably surprised, and he seemed to have become a lot more cheerful.

Because of my predecessor's personality, I don't have frequent contact with my family, and it's often like a routine report, talking about some things about my work. To use a description, these calls are not warm.

Compared with now, talking and laughing with them and caring about them can be said to be a lot of progress.

And this is also easy to explain. After all, when you come to a new environment, meet new people and experience new things, your mentality will definitely change.

What's more, everyone thinks that foreigners like to socialize and are more outgoing. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is impossible not to become active in this environment.

Now they are no longer puzzled by this, and are even delighted with Li Sheng's change.

In any case, this is a good change for them, and it is impossible to think about taking home or rebirth.

What's more, Li Sheng's memory is still there, he still remembers everything that should be remembered, and he is closer to them than before, so it seems that the change in this feeling is not that big, and it is even a good thing.

Chatting and chatting, the time was approaching eleven o'clock without knowing it, and there was a game tomorrow, so Li Sheng hung up the phone before he could say goodnight to them.

Then I had a good night's sleep with my head covered, and it was already bright when I woke up the next day.

Li Sheng stretched his waist and began to get up, wash and change clothes, and when he was going out, he bumped into Uduka.

"Good morning, how was your rest last night?"

"Not bad, how about you?"

"Of course I do too. I hope today's game will have a good result. I don't even want to recall my nightmare last night."

"Uh, you didn't dream that the dinosaur crisis ruined our ball game, did you?"

"You are so good at joking……"

After calling Collins to have breakfast together, the three of them naturally continued to discuss while eating.

They were also very curious about what Li Sheng left Brother Antetokounmpo to say last night. Li Sheng just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what he said. The important thing is whether he listens to it and whether it will produce results. It depends on today's game."

Udoka and the two are not very optimistic. After all, Antetokounmpo is too young and inexperienced, and the mentality problem is not so easy to adjust.

What's more, they now feel that it's not just his mentality, but his current strength is indeed a bit weak.

This is also a fact. Even when a capable person is in a downturn, he can still play his due role, and will not become a side effect like the current Brother Antetokounmpo.

Even die-hard Thunder fans who are paying attention to these rookies expressed some disappointment with him.

What is the second Durant, now it seems that he is not even as good as "Bennett".

Of course, this Bennett does not refer to the owner of the Thunder, Clayton Bennett, but Anthony Bennett, the No. [-] pick of the Cavaliers in this year's draft.

Aberdeen is the second No. [-] pick of the Cavaliers in the past five years and the first Canadian No. [-] pick in NBA history. However, his election can be said to have surprised the outside world. When many media commented on the choice of the Cavaliers, they believed that the team manager was "a choice made in a daze."

This year is a small year for the draft. With Aberdeen's draft market, it is no problem to enter the lottery, and even the top five are understandable, but being selected as the No. [-] pick is really surprising.

And after the start of the summer league, Aberdeen's performance on behalf of the Cavaliers also made people feel that this was definitely a smart choice. His performance can't be considered bad, but it is definitely not enough for the weight of the No. [-] pick.

Compared with the No. [-] pick behind him, Oladipo, and No. [-] pick Porter Jr. have all played star-level data, he can only be said to be out of the crowd, similar to Ryan Gomez, the Thunder's current best data.

Of course, no matter whether he is good or bad, it belongs to other teams. Fans say that Antetokounmpo just hates iron and steel.

After all, watching other lottery picks can cut melons and vegetables in the summer league, it is not natural for Antetokounmpo, who is performing worse and worse, to let them go out to brag with other fans.

As for today's game, although more people paid attention to it than before, many of them paid attention to it with the mentality of watching the Thunder's jokes after the comments of Barkley and others fermented.

No one would think that someone would suddenly turn around today...
