Chapter 801: Start Cultivating

What Chen didn't expect in this game was that everyone's enthusiasm was still very high! After Cleveland made adjustments this season, their overall strength has improved a lot. Especially on the offensive side!

And this year, signing with the Cavaliers again and becoming one of the few Coach Lu with a 10-million-level contract this season is basically a requirement. I don't really care if I win, I'm going to win anyway. All I care about is the stability of the team as a whole!

This hidden danger made the nightmare a reality last season. The Nets should have been eliminated directly in the first round of the playoffs without suspense, and then took over the final game, and the Cavaliers' consecutive losses allowed Brooklyn to finally advance!

Compared with the Timberwolves last season, the Nets' upset is obviously much more powerful! This loss also dealt an unknown blow to the Cavaliers. Although I didn't see the Cavaliers give up the holidays to train during the summer training.

However, their training before the start of pre-season and their attitude towards the game can be seen to be a big change from the past. LeBron's muscles seem to have another layer of thickening! However, his expression was still relatively relaxed.

James, who has played in the NBA for so many years, knows that even when he was younger, he just entered the league and played well. To lead the team in the playoffs alone, if the team wants to come up with a standing, it is not enough to rely on him alone.

Just like Jordan back then, there were big bugs and bison around him, and if it weren't for them, it was estimated that it would be difficult to play well in the later games. Although Cartwright's arrival with the Bulls that year caused Michael's displeasure.

But after some final friction, the newcomer to the Chicago Bulls settled into the team. In the process of some imminent internal conflicts, Jordan also paid attention to them.

The team doesn't have a very good point guard anymore. Irving left, and Thomas Jr. joined the Lakers. The team should pay attention to the defense in this process, and at the same time, the offensive aspect is more important.

The main excitement for the Nets players is that it's fun to play against a team like that. Naturally, they care more about winning or losing. The members of the opposing team are currently at a level of ability at the moment!

Facing such a team, Chen's main meaning is similar to the last time. The main thing is to learn from each other. But this time the Nets should be better at cooperating.

The players have played a certain number of games. There are a lot of points to focus on in this game! One is the alignment of two players, James and Williamson. Williamson's words are still more confident. But you still have to be more serious when you face players like James, Hayward, and Leonard.

Although the game is-for-tat on the field, James and Williamson have been in contact several times off the court. We have gone out together~ There is also Williamson who asked LeBron for some training things when he was in contact with him.

It's like when the young Durant was going to train with Kobe. Williamson didn't feel that his team won the championship, and he was also valued enough by the team, so he would play and receive a salary, and if he was lucky, he would win a championship or something~

There will still be teams in the league that limit the Nets and the Nets are more restrictive, if they meet in the Eastern Conference Finals or face the Warriors in the Finals, will the Nets still be sure to win the championship again? It's a problem that sends chills down my back just thinking about it.

The two talked about training together, and Williamson also trained with James for a month! After coming to the little emperor, I found that the other party's training methods and requirements were indeed not quite the same as those of myself in the Nets.

And the intensity is really not small! James is still doing these training sessions at his age, and he doesn't look like he's incomplete. Wade comes over from time to time to have a live broadcast and joke with James or something~

Wade still likes Williamson very much. When the three of them were training together, Wade also joked that you see, what you want to train, the equipment, and we are all here~ Or you should join the knights too~

Williamson just laughed, sometimes joking, but he thought that if he came to the Cavaliers, he would only be a substitute. And on the Nets, he can be one of the core players for a while~

I don't think I'll go to Cleveland either. Unless LeBron retires or something, but that's all for later. The Nets are gaining momentum right now, and basically some teams will not accept the olive branch that Williamson throws.

In this game, the team has to fight hard with the Cavaliers to win or lose! On the Cavaliers' side, there is still some consideration for future games. Some of the players here in Cleveland may not be old enough to support the intense games ahead. At least not enough time.

Gradually, players like Clarkson, Korver, and Nance will get more playing time. Burke is also looking forward to the upcoming game!

In such a competition, if your stats are good, you may be directly put in the headlines by the media! Unlike last time, the Nets now have Garnett and Rose back to the team, and Dante, a newcomer to the team, has adapted to the game.

With some changes in the way basketball is played, Lefou's words are still very different from before. He can shoot three points quickly on the outside, not to mention that the effect is not bad~ Now the team can also shoot three points quickly.

"In any case, we have to be consistent with each other in the previous games, especially in terms of scoring. So Okafor's words should have put him on the pitch early," Randy said immediately.

When Chen returned here today, he found that the atmosphere in both the training hall and the office was not quite right. So he immediately switched from a state of elation to a state of serious work. In the past few days, after deducting some money to be handed over, there is an income of close to 1.5 million US dollars~

I was thinking about why I hadn't moved yet, and I suddenly received a notice from my agent. But at the moment, the team is still facing Cleveland in the regular season.

The site selection went relatively smoothly, and when he got there, it took almost half a day to finalize it. This area is a bit expensive, but the traffic is still not small. Chen's restaurant is now attracting a lot of people, so he has the confidence that he can still make some money by opening a store here.

"This Okafor's individual offensive ability is still good, indeed," Jim said suddenly.

"So ......"

"But it's not easy to say in defense and confrontation with the opponent, you can play, but you shouldn't have much time to play" Randy was about to continue, but Jim suddenly said silence......

"Okafor's words may not be so good in terms of confrontation, and this can allow him to play for a while with the main players of the Cavaliers, but I prefer Jim's idea."

Chen said that he saw the staff busy in the house, so he gave him a look. The staff immediately took the tray that was not small for the day and put the cups out. Although the staff member looks a little young, she looks like an intern who has just graduated from college, but she is quite capable at her job.

Judging from the information, I found that it was her appearance that deceived everyone. She was 3 years older than the recent college graduates, but she looked young. The coffee machine in the house broke down recently, and she went out to get coffee and came back.

Took a shower at the accommodation when I came back. When I came, I saw that the teaching assistants already had a lot to say. So Chen chose to be a listener there, expressing his opinions from time to time.

These assistant coaches still feel that this job is quite comfortable after coming to Brooklyn~ After coming here with a salary similar to before, he also got Chen's respect, and he was the youngest.

Some of the assistant coaches have great data analysis skills, some have been in this industry for 30 years, and some are now coaches who fought on the field when Chen was still in school.

They may have listened to some introductions to the team by the management, so after some communication with Chen, they will also take a look at the players in the training hall from time to time. If it's okay, just make an intra-team match or something.

In the meeting, Chen asked them to say whatever they wanted, although some of the content may not be adopted, but they are still very active in the whole conference room~ After coming to this team, as the team has already won the championship, the salaries of the assistant coaches in the league have also increased.

"Williamson I think it's better to put it in the back because the Cavaliers are not weak on their bench. That Nance is very much valued in the team right now! Our Jonathan may not have beaten him, so I don't think it's a problem to have Williamson hold him back in the later games."

Adams spoke at this point. Today he doesn't seem so excited. Chan was recording something there.

"Dante, I look at his fitness stats at the moment, and this player can't let him play too much time in the game. But the role is not small, and the restriction on Nance should still be okay when making up the defense, and he can make a certain contribution on the defensive end in the later games," Bartlett said casually.

"Carroll is a player who may not be able to withstand if the opponent is the main lineup. This kind of attempt is still more risky, have you watched the video of the last game? Chen heard the sound of footsteps outside, and immediately got up and went over to take the staff member's tray.

Watching her suddenly smile at him and almost smash the tray...... Now Chen's fame is constantly rising, both locally and in the whole league. Chen originally wanted to hand the coffee to the teaching assistants, thinking about the topic he was talking about just now, but he didn't expect to be touched by the smiles of the staff member.

Instead of shawl hair, the girl today wears a ponytail and is wearing a well-fitting overalls. Chen steadied the tray, as if feeling her imperceptible laughter and supple aura behind him.

The teaching assistants saw that Chen personally held the tray and wanted to hand them coffee, and the teaching assistants sitting at the front got up and began to take the tray and everyone shared a cup.

"Look, but our team should have improved a certain amount in terms of confrontation now," Steve said at this time.

"What are you seeing?" Chen forgot what he had just said.

"Chen, you are really defenseless with this joke, hahaha! In the last video, the Cavaliers were still very fierce to us! So if the two are offset, the run-in of our team during this period may not be nothing, and we just said in the early game that we might as well let the players go up and try it......"

"Oh...... Oh yes~~ Mmmm, it is estimated that the opponent will still be like this in this game, so let some substitutes play in the early stage, if the effect is good......" Jim immediately laughed and said to Chen, and Chen also recalled what he just said in what he said.

"Nick and Doyle, let's get on the court when we have time," Messina said at this time.

"It's a must, but this game shouldn't have too much time"

......

The coaching staff is enthusiastic and wants to see what it takes for the Nets to win a regular season against the Cavaliers. Compared to previous seasons, it is much harder to win against the Spurs, Cavaliers, and Celtics in the regular season.

Where were the Nets before, and what are they now?

"Training~" Chen looked behind him for a while and then suddenly said to Nick. scared the other party.

"yes, Coach~ I didn't even notice you," Nick said to Chen, putting down the basketball in his hand.

"The one I said last time, I will arrange some time for you and Doyle in the recent game, take advantage of the opportunity" Chen deliberately came over to say to Nick, and the other party immediately became happy!

"Thank you, Coach! Doyle and I will behave well! Nick said with some excitement.

Actually, Nick played well in college. Good in terms of passing and scoring. The two are more offensive two-way guards. However, after coming to the NBA, the media now positions him as a blue-collar guard who can be okay in the future.

A very good blue-collar defender? Isn't it, a top blue-collar dual-purpose guard? No one has ever commented on it. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have that ability. Athleticism is average, physical confrontation is average, and strong players are easy to be eaten when they encounter strong players on defense.

It looks like he might be one of those blue-collar defenders in the later games.

"When you play against a strong defender or a strong team, remember to pass the ball more, even if you don't score as much. You can also think about what position is more suitable for you in the future."

Chen thought about it and said to him, when it comes to the playoffs, your team's main players will be studied repeatedly by the other party! I remember when I was in school, Chen learned through some news about the playoffs that he was really hard in the playoffs!

Some of the main players are used to attacking on that side, and the number of shots they take under the basket and so on are analyzed! And at this time, if the main players can't play form, they need role players in the team to come out.

After thinking about this, Chen felt the need to talk to Nick and Doyle. Get them ready for the rest of the game and see how good they are from time to time. It is also necessary to cultivate it in a targeted manner. Maybe it will come in handy in the playoffs!
