“......”

"How? It's not quite what you think, right? ”

"Hmm"

"Jonathan, let me tell you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info If you don't play hard now, first of all, I'll give up on you as an interim head coach. Do you understand? ”

"Huh?"

"Ah, I talked about it in a recent meeting with management. Anyway, there are still a lot of newcomers waiting for them now. Wouldn't it be good to delegate you and free up funds to recruit another one? ”

“......”

"Jonathan, you're going to get ready now. Maybe I'll let you play, but you can't play the results that management wants, and you'll be cut as well. It's normal, and the other thing is how much potential you have. If it gives people a good feeling, or makes people feel that you made a profit, you may be able to stay for a year. My attitude is to give up on you. ”

"I'll try, Coach."

"Maybe you don't play in the NBA and you can get a good job, like a manager, a white-collar worker or something. You are tall and have a good temperament. But judging by your attitude towards playing in college, I think your first dream should not be these, right? ”

"I want to play in the NBA, coach!" I went from a state of hesitation just now to a little resolute.

"Tell me how far you want to play in the NBA?"

"I want to be a James-caliber player!!"

"Haha, first of all, your body is very unpassable~"

"That's true, but I'll try!"

"Because it's a non-guaranteed contract. You might leave Brooklyn one day. My thought was, Jonathan, bring me up mentally right now! If it is delegated to the development league, it will also make a result! There may be a possibility of being recalled. But if you do this again, there will be no next time I will choose to give up on you. Do you understand? ”

"I think I get it, Coach!"

"You don't necessarily play in the next game. I'm going to see your training results and data during this time. If you can't get on the recent one, the end will let you go. Okay, I'll go back if there's nothing to do. Get a good night's sleep! Come and train tomorrow! ”

"Coach!!" This sudden thud made me jump! Almost sat back down......

"Anything else? Boy~"

"I'm sorry. I have lived up to everyone's expectations of me. ”

"Say this to yourself. Being young may be the process of making mistakes and correcting them. But if you continue to do so, it's in vain. Don't overthink it. I'm leaving~"

Boyan waited for him to speak. And Jonathan, I really want to give up on him. If there is a good one, I don't need to do it, and the management will decide directly. But what gives him extra points should be his good shooting potential! This shot feels good or gives a good impression.

The next morning we flew to the Indiana Bankers' Living Arena.

Thaddeus Young, averaged 14.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game last season! The improvement in rebounding is obvious! Strong and athletic! Not so good on the defensive end.

Myles Turner averaged 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Although this young man is not paid a lot of money with the Pacers, he is indeed a low-paid high-energy player! The mid-pitch ability is very good! Defensively aggressive and efficient! Not short but more flexible! But the three-point line is unstable, and sometimes the inside line is not hard.

Trevor Booker played for the Nets last season. He averaged 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He wasn't tall either, but he was very lethal on the inside of the team! Also because his height is not very good in defense. And mid-range shooting is inconsistent.

Aaron Brooks, averaging 10.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Black Beans are good three-point players! The disadvantage is that it is easy to fall into the whirlpool of attacking with the ball in the whole game! The defense is not good either! He's a lethal role player.

Harris, a Nets player last season. He averaged 10.9 points, 0.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. The speed is average, but the mind is flexible on the court, and the thinking on the basketball and the court is very good! The defense is weak and the shooting is inconsistent at times.

I'm about to meet Booker and Harris. The deal is still good. Teague's scoring prowess has been on the map in recent games. The Pacers have a pretty good roster this season! In addition to the main players, the depth of the bench is powerful!

Even the players in the third team can put up a certain level of stats. Bojan is about the same as the other day. Jonathan's training stats are a bit down today, but he shows that he is working hard. I'll give him some time for today's game.

Looking at the Pacers' players, it always feels like the Nets are going to be a little thinner. Their starters today are Jefferson, Lavoy, Booker, Rodney, Harris. On this end of the Nets are Lopez, Bojan, Badinger, Grevis, Teague.

On the court, Lopes and Booker had a brief chat. Bojan also ran over there to say hello to Harris. Didn't see it some time ago. Harris and Booker were traded together to Indiana. The team expects a lot from Booker! It is estimated that although Booker will often appear in the second team in the game, he has a high salary and a strong interior impact!

The game starts, and López gets the basketball and passes it to Teague. The latter scored 2 points after a layup directly in front of Harris! That's what Pacers guard Teague was capable of last season! With Teague on the Nets' side, it will alleviate a lot of sometimes tricky problems for shooting guards!

Rodney got the basketball and suddenly passed the ball to Booker in the middle of the half, and the latter immediately ran! Rushing to the basket is a violent dunk!! Watching such a score, the atmosphere of the home stadium was also stirred up!

When Battinger dribbled the ball into the basket, he was directly cut off by Booker! Harris hit a three-point shot after receiving a pass from Booker! The current Pacers home fans should be happy. These two players who have been traded are also very good on the pitch at times!

Bojan received the pass and passed it to Badinger in front of Lavoy, and Bojan grabbed a frontcourt rebound immediately after the patch shot missed. And took advantage of Booker's height to shoot a 2-pointer!

Rodney made a layup and asked Bojan for a foul, and it was 2+1! At the end of the first quarter, the score was 27:24, and the Pacers led by 3 points!

"Bojan, López, these two points are passed to them when they feel like they are struggling to attack! Jonathan, you'll go up in a moment. Remember, watch out for Booker's violent layups! Keep up! Do more interference ......" Chen took out the tactical board, and there were many players around him. The young man listened attentively.
