Coach Lee

Chapter 73
The change of the 76ers made the Philadelphia people excited.

And this excitement continued until the end of the preseason.

In the third game, they challenged the Orlando Magic away.

In this campaign, the Orlando Magic also played very well.

Although O'Neal was missing, Hardaway was completely released.

Hardaway vs. Iverson, the scene is also extremely exciting.

The 76ers fell behind by 7 points at one point.

The main force digs a hole, but the result is that the substitute fills the hole again.

Li Nan's rotation players made another wave of impact, reversing the situation of the game.

The main force came back and took advantage of the situation to hide and kill.

In the end, 110-97, the 76ers defeated their opponents without bloodshed and won three consecutive victories!
Magic, Hardaway scored a game-high 35 points.

For the 76ers, Iverson was still brave and scored 31 points. However, he scored more than 20 points after the 76ers started; Coleman had 19 points and 10 rebounds; Stackhouse had 20 points.

Li Nan came off the bench and scored a crucial 21 points.He made three-pointers without fail, making his opponents tremble.

……

The fourth game is a guest in New Jersey.

Iverson was heavily defended and almost lost his voice.

Li Nan stood up.The defensive end restricted the opponent's core Kendall Gill, and the unsolvable three-pointer on the offensive end helped the team open up the situation.

Li Nan attracted the opponent's defensive attention, and Iverson was also liberated.

In the end, 104-98, the 76ers narrowly won the New Jersey Nets.

Four in a row!
In this battle, for the Nets, Kendall Gill scored 24 points and Jim Jackson scored 22 points.

For the 76ers, Iverson scored 30 points.

Li Nan hit 7 three-pointers and scored 23 points.

……

In the fifth game, they played against the traditional giants Celtics at home.

At the beginning, head coach Davis formed a lineup of three defenders, one big and four small. Li Nan, Iverson, and Stackhouse appeared together.

The result was very ugly.

Davis verified the fact that these three guys cannot be on the stage at the same time!
After changing to a normal lineup, the 76ers started the shooting team's soaring basketball.

Seemingly influenced by the 76ers' three-point shooting team, the Celtics' No. [-] pick this year, Antoine Walker, also soared three-pointers!

However, he and the Celtics' three-pointers were far behind their opponents.

Not surprisingly, 85-103, the 76ers beat the Boston Celtics at home!

Take five consecutive victories!
In the Celtics Town, No. 24 pick Antoine Walker scored 6 points.1 of [-] three-pointers, a bit sloppy.

The 76ers are all soldiers, and 6 players scored in double figures.

Facing the Celtics' strict defense, Iverson scored only 21 points.

It is indeed very difficult to score a high score of 30+ in Boston.

Coleman scored 23 points, a rare first for Big Brother.

Stackhouse, 17 points.

Li Nanbiao scored 5 three-pointers and easily scored 17 points.

……

In five preseason games, the Philadelphia 76ers won consecutive victories.

The media reported enthusiastically, and the fans were even more crazy.

Iverson's performance of 30+ in five games, the fans love him even more.

"In the new season, Iverson will definitely be a strong contender for MVP!"

The 76ers scored 100+ points per game, 3+ points in 110 games, and their offensive ability was blown to the sky.

"The 76ers have the strongest offensive firepower in the league!"

The record of five consecutive victories made some 76ers fans boldly say:

"The 76ers point to the championship!"

The outside world is very lively, but they don't know that there are disturbances in the 76ers team.

……

a few days later.

In the 76ers meeting room, the coaching team, players, everyone is there.

Today is the last day the team announces its starting lineup.

In the previous five preseason games of the 76ers, a total of 3 starting lineups were arranged.

In the first four games, Li Nan and Stackhouse took turns starting.

In the fifth game, Li Nan and Stackhouse started at the same time, center Williams was replaced, and the 76ers arranged one major and four minors!
The only constants are Iverson, Coleman and Witherspoon.

Head coach Davis stood at the main seat, holding some data sheets.

"Well, let everyone come today to announce the starting list."

After a short pause, everyone seemed to have no reaction, and Davis continued: "This list is finally determined by our coaching team through everyone's performance in five games."

As soon as Davis said this, someone glanced at him, with a hint of contempt.

Davis is cautious in doing things, but he hastily made it clear that he was not generous enough.

This is not the best choice for a head coach.

Davis did not have this awareness.

He listed everyone's data, the players in the five positions, and the scores were ranked from high to low.

Iverson, Witherspoon, Williams, Coleman!
The four were quickly identified.

Then there is the shooting guard position left.

Doesn't the data sheet show it?
The first is Li Nan with 20.6 points.

The second is Stackhouse with 18.6 points.

Everyone is waiting, and I don't know what the hell coach Davis is going to do?

After keeping a secret for a long time, Davis finally said it.

"As for the shooting guard, we chose Jerry!"

When Davis said this, he also looked at Li Nan with a cautious look.

Stackhouse finally let go.

It should be mine, it's mine, no one can take it away!

If it weren't for the large number of people now, Stackhouse would definitely jump up.

Li Nan narrowed his eyes, he needed an explanation.

Iverson was also the first to raise objections.

"why?"

In these five games, in general, Stackhouse played a good offensive performance.

The defensive end also changed from normal, and worked hard to participate in it, with a very serious attitude.

It's just that Stackhouse's offense needs to hold the ball, which overlaps with Iverson.

His defensive skills are not good, and he can only be regarded as barely passing.

Li Nan works hard in every way.

The offensive end provides various outside fire support.

The defensive end is even more advanced, often helping Iverson share the defensive pressure.

The key is that his partner with Iverson has a better understanding.

Why isn't Li Nan the starter?
Davis smiled and took out another data sheet.This is the performance of Li Nan and Stackhouse in the rotation lineup every game.

Li Nan, 20 points,
Stackhouse, 15.2 points.

"We all agree that Lee is the right sixth man. Maybe, at the end of the season, the best sixth man is his."

Stackhouse seemed a little gloating.

Li Nan was a little speechless.

This Nima also works?
Are you gringos all this smart?
……

The preseason is over and the regular season is approaching.

Each team has announced the team's final 15-man roster.

For the 76ers, Li Nan's name is impressively listed.

And the makeup photos released by their team.A photo of the main force of the six players, with Li Nan and Iverson standing in the middle.

Before the media questioned it, the NBA officially announced the good news first.

"The NBA and China's CCTV officially reached a cooperation!"

Then, the American media suddenly became lively.

"After Mr. David Stern's unremitting efforts, the NBA has finally opened the Chinese market."

"The NBA is determined to help more people, let people all over the world fall in love with basketball, and let everyone live a healthier life."

"The Chinese teenager signed with the Philadelphia 76ers for two years, with an annual salary of 25!"

"Chinese teenagers shine in the preseason game."

Later, more news about Li Nan came out.

In the summer league, Li Nan showed his talents!
In the Olympics, Li Nan shines brightly!

In the preseason, Li Nan shines on the court!

A gust of wind blew, and Li Nan suddenly became the brightest star in Asian basketball!
