Coach Lee

Chapter 63

idea?

Of course Li Nan has ideas, and there are many more.

Regarding the style of play of this 76ers team, Li Nan has an idea.

There is no big center in the team, and the inside can only be supported by Coleman and Williams, who are 208 tall.

Coleman is a second center. He is relatively good at the 4th position and is at the All-Star level.But it is difficult for him to arrange him in the fifth position.

Williams was an important substitute during the Bulls' three consecutive championships, and he is a blue-collar guy.

But it's not enough.Now is the era of big centers. If the 76ers face a strong insider like O'Neal, they will be defeated in one blow.

What about outside lines?
Iverson, Stackhouse, Witherspoon.

Iverson could easily become a defensive hole, and Stackhouse's attitude is lazy and his defense is not good. The 76ers can only rely on Witherspoon for outside defense.

Defense is now the mainstream in the league, but can 76 defend it?

Such 76ers want to make a difference, Li Nan thinks the small ball style of play is the most suitable.

Especially the little Kuailing tactic invented by coach Qian Chenghai of the Chinese team!
The Little Kuailing tactic is actually the predecessor of the run-and-bomb tactic.

The crazy inventor Don Nelson stole the Chinese basketball style of the 80s to develop the run-and-gun tactics.

And Li Nan found out that Coleman loves to shoot three-pointers.

A big man who can shoot three-pointers is a sharp weapon when used well.

"Our defense is bad, why don't we play against each other? Defense wins the championship, offense wins the audience! We take the boss's money, so we should share the boss's worries!"

Li Nan blurted out these words, but Cheeks stared at him in amazement.

???

"Didn't you ask me what I think? This is what I think."

Li Nan was also a little confused.

Cheeks suddenly laughed, "I'm asking you what you think about playing. Iverson is already in the starting lineup, so you don't want to play?"

"In no mood!"

Li Nan shook his head, very honestly.

"Really don't want to?"

Cheeks approached, eyes sparkling.

The old guy smokes!That taste is really, vomit~~

Li Nan also lost immediately. "Okay, fake. I really want to play, I can't wait to go up and beat the main players now!"

"Good! Have ambition!"

Suddenly there was a loud cry from behind, and Li Nan was also taken aback.

It turned out to be owner Pat Cross.

Cross patted Li Nan's shoulder with a smile, and then waved to that person.

Head coach Johnny Davis walked over in a huff.

Life is not easy for people under the roof.

"boss?"

"Let Li go up and try."

Pat Cross' words were very gentle, but his eyes were unquestionable.

Davis looked at Li Nan, a Chinese kid, "ok, no problem."

Li Nan stood up and nodded gratefully to the little old man Cheeks.

Cheeks grinned, not forgetting to shake his thick black eyebrows.

There are also good people among the Yankees.

The training session on the field was suspended.

The main team did not play well, but the substitute team was even worse.This is all caused by the laziness brought about by the holidays.

The head coach David was very kind with a smile on his face, and he didn't scold anyone.

"Substitution."

"Harris rest."

"Lee took his place."

Li Nan actually played?
Stackhouse looked at Li Nan who was on the bench, the corner of his mouth curled.

"You are just a substitute life!"

Frank King and Mark Blanco are envious.

"It would be great if I could play. Even if it's a substitute, I'd be happy."

"Just now Li seems to have said something nice about the boss, should we try it too?"

"His~~"

The two guys muttered secretly, but they were startled by Cheeks' fierce eyes.

"Who is an American?"

"It's good to bring money into the group, I also want to be a foreigner."

The two guys complained a lot.

On the other side, Li Nan has already put on the training vest of the substitute team.

His bench team is now point guard Rex Waters, small forward Mark Davis, power forward Don McLenne, and center Michael Cage.

These are the fritters that the NBA has been fighting for many years.

Teaching assistant Eric gathered them together, holding a drawing board.

"Later, you play like this... Li is cooperating with you for the first time, you have to take care of him, his shooting is still very trustworthy."

Eric said this, Li Nan is like a child protected by his parents.

The teammates are very polite.

"Of course."

"Lee, take it easy, I'll pass the ball to you."

"Li, just shoot when you have the chance, don't think too much."

The four veteran players were all so polite, but Li Nan felt the coldness.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived on the court, Li Nan knew it.

These guys really take care of Li Nan.

Serve, you serve!

Pick and roll screen, you block!

It was passed, you come to make it up! ...

This is how everyone takes care of you!
Off the court, seeing Li Nan's lack of performance, owner Pat Cross frowned.

However, at this time, the substitute team on the field was forced to attack with little time left.

Waters passed the ball to Li Nan with care.

Time is running out, Li Nan, come on!
Facing Stackhouse's defense, Li Nan squeezed and retreated, and then made a calm move.

This is Stackhouse's best turnaround shot!
Swish!
The ball is in!
Stackhouse looked ugly, but the substitute players had brilliant eyes.

Off the court, Pat Cross nodded with a smile.

And this is just the beginning.

Defending, covering, covering, running... Li Nan does everything.

There was no gain in running positions again and again, but he still insisted on doing so.

No one will treat you nicely for no reason.

To gain, you have to learn to give and give.

Those guys on the pitch are not blind.

Li Nan's dedication slowly got a response.

Waters found Li Nan, who had a chance from the bottom corner, and passed the ball involuntarily.

Catching the ball, pulling it up, and shooting, Li Nan's movements were done in one go.

Whoosh!
Three point shot!

"Nice!"

Waters stretched out his hand, and Li Nan waved to meet him.

"Good news!"

Slowly, Li Nan became the scoring core of the substitute team.

The substitute team is playing decently, the division of labor is very reasonable, the cooperation is very tacit, and the efficiency is not low!

The situation has changed!
The momentum of the main team was knocked down.

"Pretty! Xiao Li can do it!"

Cheeks applauded without hesitation!
Owner Pat Cross also applauded with satisfaction.

But head coach Johnny Davis looked at Li Nan on the bench, and then at Iverson and Stackhouse on the main team fighting each other.

The corners of the mouth curled up imperceptibly.

After thinking for a while, Davis also stood up and called to stop the game.

"Jerry, you trade with Lee."

"What?" Stackhouse's eyes widened. He never expected that he would be replaced by the substitute team.

Helpless, Stackhouse had no choice but to pass.

"That kid can do it, and I can definitely do it!"
