Coach Lee

Chapter 388 Expectation
boom!boom!boom! ~~~
In a basketball gym in Miami, the Pacers players are working hard to prepare for the game.

Li Nan also appeared on the field wearing a No. 10 jersey, doing various trainings with everyone.

This is the first time Li Nan has practiced with the Pacers team.

Beep beep beep!
Larry Bird blew the whistle.The whole team assembled immediately.

Larry Bird glanced at the young people in front of him, and saw that some of the players were full of confidence, some were full of fighting spirit, some had worried faces, and some looked a little tired
Larry Bird doesn't know why.

Glancing at Li Nan in the team, Larry Bird didn't say anything else, and immediately announced the training match.

"Today, let's fight a confrontation first."

The first team is the starting lineup: Mark Jackson, Li Nan, Reggie Miller, Dale Davis, Rick Schmitz,
The other team is the bench: Travis Best, Clarence Witherspoon, Derek McKay, Derek Coleman, Austin Croshere.

Before the game, the two sides also got together and said a few words.

On the starting side, veteran Chris Mullin also came to help.

Seeing Li Nan's current physical condition, Cross Muliang thought it was pretty good.However, that's just the appearance, what is the real strength, that's not sure.It's better to stabilize first.Let's see.

"Li just came here, and he doesn't know much about our tactics. Mark, you should be more stable later. Li, you can watch Reggie run one later."

Reggie Miller was about to say something, but Li Nan spoke in advance, "Yes."

Mullin and Jackson nodded insignificantly. This "newcomer" is still very flattering.

beep!
The game starts.

Schmitz gets the ball and Mark Jackson dribbles slowly across half court.

He held up an index finger, "Everyone, be steady, let's make a steady first."

Mark Jackson is still stable. After all, there are newcomers in the team, and this cooperation is not so easy to play.

When the two sides settled down, Mark Jackson also waved his hand.

"go!"

Reggie Miller also started running around the field from the bottom corner.With the help of Schmitz's cover, Davis was bypassed, but Reggie Miller ran so hard, but he couldn't get rid of Witherspoon, who was chasing after him.

Today everyone's state is a bit sloppy, and the quality of cover is average.On the contrary, the idiot Witherspoon is too serious.

Reggie Miller was in a hurry, and there was a trace of embarrassment on Mark Jackson's face.

At this moment, Mark Jackson suddenly saw Li Nan appear on Reggie Miller's "escape" route.

Reggie Miller ran quickly, with Witherspoon in hot pursuit.

The three intertwined in an instant.

Then, in an instant, Li Nan and Reggie Miller suddenly separated.

Witherspoon and Derek McKay, who was defending Li Nan, just squeezed together in a daze.

"Pass the ball!"

Off the court, Larry Bird yelled, "Mark, what are you doing?"

Mark - Jackson found himself missing a good opportunity.

"sorry Sorry!"

Mark Jackson also took the initiative to admit his mistake.However, in his heart he was not like that.

"It's just a ball, maybe it was by chance."

Mark Jackson would not have recognized this teammate in this way.So what if you are FMVP?
Soon, the next tactical move came again.

Still Reggie Miller was running.

This time, people on both sides were much more serious.

Reggie Miller ran and got the ball.However, this opportunity was not very good, and Coleman's supplementary defense came out in time.

It was at such a moment that Reggie Miller's eyes caught Li Nan who cut into the inside line.

Without any hesitation, Reggie Miller passed the ball in one hit.

Li Nan took the ball, rushed into the penalty area, went straight to the basket, and jumped up.

When the big white man Crohill saw that Li Nan was going to challenge him, he rushed forward without hesitation.

Off the field,

"Sigh~"

Larry Bird frowned, that was the wounded!

However, what worried Larry Bird didn't happen.

Li Nan did not strongly challenge Crohill's defense, but passed the ball behind him.

Behind, Reggie Miller catches the ball, unguarded, and makes an easy jumper from close range.

Whoosh!
The ball passed the net with a crisp sound.

Snapped!
One deep and one shallow two hands clapped together.

"Beautiful shot!"

"Good pass!"

Mark Jackson looked at it quietly for a while, feeling quite admirable in his heart.

"When did these two guys get married?"

Chris Mullin is worried.

He thought that Li Nan didn't dare to challenge Crohill because he hadn't recovered yet.

"Alas~ we may be doomed."

Off the court, the corners of Larry Bird's mouth were crooked, quite proud.

"However, that's not enough!"

On the court, Reggie Miller ran a few more times.Much more comfortable than before.

He can shoot and pass, and he can always find Li Nan who is "open" when passing the ball.

And Li Nan didn't waste the opportunity again and again, throwing them all in.

Seeing that Li Nan's shooting was still so stable, Chris Mullin breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not bad to be a shooter."

beep!
Suddenly, Larry Bird off the court stopped the game.He took the drawing board and began to write and draw on it.

"Li, look, this is our two-person running tactic, you will be like this later, Li, do you understand?"

Li Nan nodded, "Well, no problem."

For the Pacers' tactics, the 76ers know best.Of course, Li Nan has a good understanding of the Pacers' tactics.

Mark Jackson on the side didn't quite believe it.

Come to think of it, it took Jalen Rose a season to get used to it.

Veteran Chris Mullin also frowned. He felt that Larry Bird was too anxious.He believes that Li Nan should be placed in a fixed position, or more in low post singles.

Soon, the game continued.

Something unexpected happened.

Li Nan and Reggie Miller's two-person running position directly stunned the substitute players.

Chance!shot!Enter!
Another chance!shot!Still in!

Mark Jackson on the field has never discovered that the game is so simple, as long as the ball is passed, an assist will be obtained.

Off the field, Chris Mullin clapped his hands involuntarily and kept applauding.

"Wow! Beautiful! Lee! Great shot!"

However, a good shot is a good shot, and the tactics are out of tactics. Chris Mullin is still worried about Li Nan's physical condition.

And at this time, Li Nan made an air cut into the inside line again, facing Crohill, who jumped up.

boom!
Dunk!

"Yeah!" Chris Mullin hugged Perkins excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Larry Bird on the sidelines jumped anxiously.

"F@#￥!"

"Austin, didn't I tell you not to pounce on Li? Did you ignore my words?"

"Also, Li, didn't I tell you not to dunk, don't dunk, don't dunk?"

"How did you promise me then?"

"You know you can dunk, I will never let you play today."

Larry Bird's eyes were really red.

At the beginning of April, Li Nan was actually good enough to play.However, it was rejected by Larry Bird at that time.

In order for Li Nan to fully recover and play again, Larry Bird even held back yesterday's final game, such an important final game.

Now if this is ruined because of a training match, where would he cry?
Everyone looked at Larry Bird in a daze.

Li Nan also spread his hands, "Hehe, I can't hold back."

I really couldn't help it, it's been more than two months, how can I not dunk a basket to celebrate?
Larry Bird gave Li Nan a hard look, and then announced that the training would continue.But he added: "Be careful! I'm counting on Li to bring us a championship."

Larry Bird made no secret of his respect for Li Nan.

Li Nan was also a little flattered.

Reggie Miller gave a thumbs up.

Coleman and Witherspoon grinned.

Mark Jackson and Cross Mullin look at each other with anticipation
