Coach Lee

Chapter 457
Reid found a basket to practice by himself, and Li Nan also continued to start his own training.

The environment on the plateau is really different, and the consumption is really high.

After training for 4 hours in the morning and more than an hour in the afternoon, Li Nan was already feeling tired.

With such an intensity before, it is not a problem to train 8 hours a day.

Of course, such an environment does exercise people more.

"Damn! Xiao Li, you didn't call me, you came here by yourself."

At four o'clock, Wang Dazhi appeared.

After that, one after another, other teammates also came, and some assistant coaches also showed up.

The coaches lead everyone to do various training.

At five o'clock, Jim Burnheim and D'Antoni showed up on the sidelines.

The players on the field began to play training games in teams.

One side is the main force: Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Danny Fortson, Wang Dazhi, Ben Wallace

Subs on one side: Bobby Jackson, Li Nan, Tracy Murray, Keon Clark, Priest Lauderdale
The main force is the starter of the Nuggets in the previous preseason games, led by the old Jim, and the substitute is Li Nan, led by D'Antoni.

Looking at the "substitute lineup" in his team, D'Antoni did not hold out any hope.

Bobby Jackson, a master of chaos, is a strong contender for the best sixth man.But his defense is a mess, and the offense will only come on its own, passing the ball or something, no!The key is that he is only 185 tall, so he is too disadvantaged to play a shooting guard, and he has no ability to play a point guard.

Tracy Murray, apart from being more accurate in three-pointers, has no advantages, defense, rebounding, everything is so-so.

Keon Clark, a long-handed monster with a height of 211 and a wingspan of 222.The shooting is poor, the body is thin, and the defensive end does not know how many times he has been forced to eat?
As for Prester Lauderdale, this is a big man who likes to wrestle, bounces well, and has a strong frame.The physical talent is good, but the technique is too rough.

The outside world is talking about the depth of the Nuggets' bench, but D'Antoni is worried.

The higher you are lifted, the worse you will fall.

The Nuggets cannot change their strength by relying on one person.

Although this person is the MVP of the finals, he is by far the most brilliant young man in the league.

It's just that this FMVP has just joined the team. He played so soon, and he still leads a bunch of miscellaneous players. Can he beat the starters?

Can't beat it!

Moreover, this kid seems to be highly valued by the coach, not only in the field, but also in training.Then I'll see if you're really that powerful.

Seeing that D'Antoni was standing on the side without speaking, without making any arrangements, and not knowing why he was in a daze, Li Nan also called four teammates and Michael Reed some players who did not play.

"Come, come, listen to me." Everyone gathered around, and Li Nan also said directly, "Listen, later, if we win the starters on the opposite side, tomorrow's preseason game will be ours. Start the game."

"Really?" Bobby Jackson was the first to ask.

Li Nan replied without thinking: "Of course! Coach Mike can assure everyone."

Everyone turned to look at Mike D'Antoni.

The corner of D'Antoni's mouth twitched: Why didn't I know?
However, he still smiled reluctantly, "Yes, what he said is true."

Of course he knew what Li Nan meant, to boost morale.Anyway, he doesn't believe that the substitute can win.If you lie to these people, you should be able to lose better later.

"Yeah! Beat them! We're going to start!" Bobby Jackson was the most positive.

Since Billups and Nick Van Exel came to the Nuggets, Bobby Jackson hasn't played a starter again, and he really misses those days.

Several other people were also eager to try, and even Markelle Reed, who did not start the game, clenched his fists.

On the side, Ewing, who came to join in the fun without playing the game, secretly gave a thumbs up.

"I'm not as good at boosting morale!"

Before playing, Li Nan didn't forget to say a few more words to his four teammates, and the other four nodded in agreement, not knowing what he said.

Beep beep beep!
Players from both sides appear on the field.

Wang Dazhi also bumped into Li Nan, "Xiao Li, just wait to be beaten."

Ben Wallace on the side reminded, "Hey! Wang! The coach said that if you still speak Mandarin on the training ground, he will punish you!"

Wang Dazhi was punished to make Wang Dazhi learn more English.

Li Nan also smiled, "Dazhi, your English pronunciation is embarrassing for fans all over the world, you should work hard."

Wang Dazhi became shameless, "Am I so good? The whole world?"

Unexpectedly, Bobby Jackson immediately raised his hand: "Coach! I'll report! Wang doesn't speak English anymore!"

Wang Dazhi glared at Bobby Jackson, his teeth itching with hatred, "Tmd!"

Li Nan also raised his hand instantly: "Coach! I'll report it too! Wang speaks Mandarin again."

"~~!"

Wang Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Li Nan, clicked and clicked, and said in broken English after a long time, "You wait for me!"

"Coach," Li Nan raised his hand again. -
Wang Dazhi became anxious, pressed down Li Nan's hand, and blurted out hastily, "I just spoke English!"

Li Nan suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Dazhi with a smile, "Oh~~~ Isn't this coming again?"

Just now Wang Dazhi accidentally spoke Mandarin again.

"Sh*t!"

Hearing this, Li Nan also praised: "This time I really speak English."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Wang Dazhi deflated, everyone was overjoyed.

After laughing for a while, the referee also blew his whistle.

beep!
The game started.

Lauderdale, who is 224 tall, easily dialed the ball back.

Bobby Jackson got the ball and dribbled it safely across half court.

According to the previous game, at this moment, Bobby Jackson will start to do it himself.However, this time, he handed the ball to Li Nan.

On the sidelines, Jim Burnheim nodded with satisfaction, "Mike is still very good."

On the field, Li Nan played a pick-and-roll.

The big Lauderdale came out, a screen, and completely blocked Hamilton.

Li Nan easily killed in.

Facing a familiar teammate, Ben Wallace.

Now Ben Wallace has a defensive strength that is not inferior to that of Mutombo, and is a strong contender for the best defensive player.

However, Li Nan went in without any intention of slowing down.

Ben Wallace is of course familiar with Li Nan.At this time, Li Nan has many ways to handle the ball.

No one can prevent the jump shot directly from an emergency stop; the direct serpentine breakthrough, oh, some people say it is called "European step", which is too confusing, and it is easy to be swayed; The big center Oliver who flew over New Zealand; of course, it may also be a feint and choose to pass the ball
The more Ben Wallace is familiar with Li Nan, the less he knows what choice Li Nan will make.

Li Nan came in, and Lauderdale followed.

"How to do?"

Ben Wallace quickly made a choice and rushed to Li Nan.Of course, it was a fake "pounce", he kept an eye out, and he also took care of Lauderdale behind him.

Just as Ben Wallace rushed over, Li Nan closed his hands and made a pass.

Ben Wallace took a quick step back, about to turn.

However, Li Nan's ball is still in his hand.

cheated!This is a fake pass!

Li Nan directly took two steps together, leaning sideways on Wallace who made up again, and made a light layup.

Ben Wallace was half a step too late after all.

"Wow! Good shot!"

papapa~
Everyone in the audience also gave applause and cheers.

Ben Wallace shook his head too.

"Li, you even lied to your own people, you are really going too far!"

Off the field, D'Antoni also clapped his hands involuntarily. He was about to applaud, but he stopped.

It's just a ball, and the game is not just about one ball.
