Coach Lee

Chapter 205 Trading
November passed, December came.

The 76ers made two more deals in a row.

First, the 76ers traded with the Pistons' 6 players!
Stackhouse traded to Detroit Pistons!With the rookie Kevin Cato and Blanco with the thin bamboo pole!

The Pistons exchanged for center Theo Ratliff with a height of 208; Aaron McGee, a combo guard with a height of 196; - Mahon.

After that, Montrose single-forged the Wizards' Ben Wallace!
Before, Nash was traded to the Mavericks in exchange for power forward Samaki Walker, a muscular power forward.

Today, the 76ers lineup has also changed.

Point Guard: Allen Iverson, Eric Snow, Frank King,
Shooting guards: Nan Li, Mark Davis, Aaron McGee,

Small Forwards: Dominique Wilkins, Clarence Witherspoon, Cabe Stewart
Power Forward: Derrick Coleman, Samaki Walker, Rick Mahon,

Centers: Theo Ratliff, Ben Wallace, Scott Williams.

With five young players leaving, the 76ers seem to have matured all of a sudden!
……

Head coach's office.

Greenberg called, "Larry, Derek is urging me again."

Both Nash and Stackhouse found a good place, and Coleman, who had always wanted to leave, was in a hurry.

Larry Brown was burying his head in looking at some information, and said without raising his head,
"There's no way around this. His contract is too big, and others don't like it."

Of course Larry Brown wants to send this lazy guy away, but others don't.

Greenberg asked something else.

"Isn't Jerry's contract a bit of a loss?"

Larry Brown still didn't raise his head, "Jerry's contract is indeed a bit of a loss. However, if we don't trade now, he will leave in summer, and we won't get anything."

Greenberg immediately asked, "What about Lee? His contract is about to end."

Larry Brown raised his head and looked at Greenberg.

This problem is indeed a problem.

However, Larry Brown said lightly, "No hurry!"

Are you in no hurry?

Greenberg is in a hurry.He just asked the first two casually, and Li Nan was the purpose of his coming here today.

However, the old man Larry Brown is not in a hurry!
"No, no, Larry, this matter is very urgent. If it can't be resolved this season, then next season will not be wonderful."

"I see." Larry Brown was still so indifferent.

"You! Sigh~" Greenberg had a headache. Did the old man really know this, or was it a lie?

……

Li Nan came to the training ground early, but he didn't expect someone to come earlier than him.

A dark guy, who is this?

Li Nan approached.

Um?Big Ben?

hen~

The old man also said "too short" at the time, but he still brought him here.

Seeing that the guy with an arm circumference of 40 was bench-pressing, Li Nan stepped forward and glanced curiously.

I go!

180 kg!

Li Nan's current bench press is about 106, which is really incomparable with this guy.

At this moment, Da Ben, who was bench-pressing, turned his head and looked over.

It was a simple face, without a hint of ferocity.

He grinned, "Hey buddy, good morning!"

"Morning! Ben!" Li Nan waved casually.

Ben Wallace stopped.He knew this man as China Li, the very famous China Li.However, he actually called out the name of a loser to me?
Ben Wallace asked curiously: "Huh? You know me?"

"Of course. Last time I played against you Wizards, I noticed you. I think you are much better at center than Chris. Your coach is a waste of talent."

Ben Wallace certainly isn't quite as good.However, good words are never too short, of course Li Nan picked up good things and said more.

Hearing what Li Nan said, Wallace was a little happy, but he said:
"Hehehe, actually there isn't any. I'm just an undrafted pick, and it's impossible to compare with him."

Ben Wallace, who lost the draft, still has some low self-esteem in his heart.Even being traded this time, he felt very disappointed.

"No! Ben, you can do it! I believe that you will become our starter in a short time." Li Nan still gave some encouragement.

Li Nan is the first new teammate Ben Wallace knows.Ben Wallace still has a good impression of Li Nan who is so enthusiastic.

"Thanks, bro. I'll try my best!"

"By the way, Ben, how far can you push your max bench press now?"

"190!"

"It's not enough, Karl Malone is 230. Keep going! When you get to 200, I think you won't even be afraid of O'Neill!"

"200? Well, I will try my best!"

Ben Wallace took that number to heart.

Slowly, the two also chatted.

Li Nan originally thought that Daben would be a hot-tempered and difficult to get along with, but no, he is a simple man.

When both of them are sweating, there are more people in the training hall.

Five newcomers are here today.

Ben Wallace, Samaki Walker, Aaron McGee, Rick Mahon, Theo Ratliff.

In the training session, Larry Brown focused on the new training plan.This is the improved training plan.

The team still focuses on defense!However, there has been a big change in offense.

Sharing the ball is still the foundation, but the team's offense has added a lot of tactics centered on Li Nan and Iverson.

For the new recruits, Larry Brown also specially arranged a training session.

The training session was very simple. Larry Brown directly arranged the training subjects for the five newcomers and "shaped" them.

Like Ben Wallace, Larry Brown's task is to defend, carry people, and rebound!

Thanks to Larry Brown's team system, it is easy for the five rookies to integrate into the team.

And because of the addition of these five people, the team's personnel mix has become more mature, and the team atmosphere has also become different.

Outside the stadium, everyone is still playing, and they are very lively.But when it comes to the training ground and the game field, the players become extra serious.

The most surprising one is Coleman.

Coleman is now starting to lose weight and start exercising hard.

All he said all day long was, "I'm going to make them all regret it!"

Everyone knows why.

Coleman originally applied to leave the team, but, as Larry Brown said, the deal was rejected, and no team was willing to take over.

Coleman is turning hatred into strength.

Some guys on the team often tease him.

"Derek, let's go have fun tonight?"

"No! Didn't you see I was training? Go away! Don't disturb me!"

"Derek, I have a new business, including making money, let's talk?"

"I'll talk about it later! I'm not free now!"

"Derek, let's go first, remember to come to us later."

"Get out! I won't go if I say no!"

Can Coleman hold on?If you persist, can you return to the peak strength a few years ago?This will take time to verify.
