"Let's come out and chat when I have time, I've been very busy lately, and I don't have much time to rest"

"All at work?"

"No, my daughter has changed jobs, and my son's grades have dropped in school. In short, there are things to do at work, and there are a lot of chores around me," Atkinson's voice on the phone was somewhat weak.

After accepting the Nets' president of operations, it wasn't as easy as he thought. And the things around him have to wait for him to deal with. After contact with him, Chen also knows that for the family, Atkinson will basically participate more.

Chen felt that the team's affairs some time ago should have distracted him a lot. But when I went to eat and chat with him at night, I realized that it was not like that. Mainly some things at home.

This couldn't help but remind him of how he would live his life in the future. What else can I say about my boss? Maybe there's still something waiting for him to do. But now he is also a person who can get 10 million+ a year.

At least you don't have to worry too much about the salary. For people who don't have any worries about income anymore, if they still have troubles. That's basically not about money anymore. I learned about work in the chat, and this season is still a lot of pressure for him!

The Nets have lost 3 of their last 4 games...... His boss can eat and chat with a lot of people. It's just that I feel that I can still say a lot of new topics with Chen Yinan's words, and this young man has a different feeling since he came to him.

Chen was the coach who dared to oppose his tactics in the coaching at that time. And there are some things that he doesn't get right either.

In life, Chen felt that he didn't experience too much. Maybe it's because his family has the ability to let him play basketball and try it. So there were no distractions, and I went in the direction of basketball. And then I became a coach now.

It hasn't been a few years since he went from being a coach to becoming the head coach of the Nets. And in the beginning, Chen was always thinking about his livelihood. I even feel that if this is not a good chance, I can return to China to accept a high-paying management position or a coaching position, and do it first.

The CBA offered a high-paying management position at the time, as well as several coaching positions. Two of them wanted to hire him as the manager.

Now, since last season, when I got a position that many people felt was out of reach, my salary and advertising revenue have increased again. Chen also felt that he could finally stabilize this time. At least the team estimates that he will not be expelled in the next two years.

The marriage with Anna is basically going to be decided.

"Are you still comfortable with those newcomers now?" Atkinson spoke to Chen after chatting with him for a while about the miscellaneous things in his life.

"I feel like Okafor may have been out of action for a long time, so he made a lot of mistakes. Burke is a good player. At least for now, it seems to be playing quite steadily. Overall, there are many mistakes now, and the tacit understanding is not enough, but I am quite confident. We've already started special training for them. But no matter what the training content is, the training volume is still relatively large......"

I think it feels good to talk to him, so why did you lose 3 games in a row? Therefore, Chen also truthfully talked about the current team's problems and solutions later.

"This is expected, and I didn't come out of you today for this."

......

He chatted with Atkinson for a long time before leaving the restaurant. After accompanying Anna to go shopping, I slept soundly at night. Chen's idea is to try to be in the top 10 in the East in the first 20 games of the regular season. Then wait 20 races to start sprinting and stay in the rankings!

112：109！ In the end, the Nets were unable to beat the Pacers to usher in a three-game losing streak of the season. The media is starting to write about what is happening in Brooklyn right now. It's a bit like the Cavaliers over the years.

The current Hornets are on the brink of the season, and you say they're on the brink of a mess. Some of the games were played well. You're going to say they're going to rise this season, and they haven't made the playoffs yet.

Judging from the data, the current star of the team is still Warcraft and Walker! The hit rate is generally not high, and the number of errors is not low.

It can be said that Howard's arrival still brings some hope to the team. The weak link on their inside line is gone. But for now, it's up to them to attack.

Batum averaged 11.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game last season! He still has an inconsistent state and is not very accurate in his jump shots. If Batum can improve significantly in these two places, he will be great in the league!

But now he can still get a certain number of points, rebounding protection, and assists in sports battles are good! Some commentators have suggested that Batum's scoring ability may be deliberately converting offensive times into rebounds and assists. In this case, it will be more beneficial for the team.

Marvin had 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists last season. A player with a 1-year 10 million+ contract has played relatively reluctantly.

Lamb can get 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists, and the average playing time of more than 20 minutes is still not small!

Walker 23.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists! He is still the one with outstanding ability and iron blood in the team! After a period of time, the Hornets found that although Walker's salary was not much in the team, he still played a big role!

He and Batum also have a good combination on the court. If the players play well, the team is still very lethal, but if there are players who are unstable or several players are unstable, basically the game cannot be won.

Howard's 17.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists became one of the few players on the team who can play a stabilizing role! Chen feels that the team is doing the right thing, if the Hornets have been struggling outside the top 10 when the Warcraft was in the Hawks in the past, it would be difficult to enter the top 10 in the East!

And now, although their results are not very good, at least there is hope!

Facing the current Nets playing away from home, they still have some bottom in their hearts. Although the opponent suffered 3 consecutive defeats, it was the champion team of last season after all!

"They don't have a good center forward yet, so we can break down here quickly. There are also more passes on the outside, finding opportunities to distance themselves from the opposition as much as possible......," Clifford said seriously.

Remember the previous season when the Nets were short of great forward players and shooting guards, they were still able to play well! And now they already have good players there in some positions!

"One of the goals of our training lately is to make you as little as possible on the field. So this game starts to depend on the number of mistakes you make, so that you will have to consider the execution of some tactics in the starting arrangement for future games, so you can handle it yourself."

This is the new method used by Chen Yinan, and if this is the case, the players will start to care about the number of mistakes they make. And the coach was sent to count the number of mistakes.

"Don't fight for speed with the other team, this team is very lethal if it is alive. So you have to pay more attention to the rhythm of the game......"

After a while, players from both sides came on the court, and the starters on the Hornets side today were Howard, Marvin, Batum, Walker, and Monk! On the Nets' side, in that order, are Okafor, Dent, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Burke!

Three of today's starters are new to the season. Dent's words, during this time, Chan has been looking for time to get him on the court. It seems that he is the only player in the team who is not very ready to play for some time every game~

Dent is not the kind of player who means anything if you put me on the pitch. At first, I thought I should talk to the coach about playing in a few days. Let him train in the gym for a few more days. But when I think about it, I don't know what the manager's temper is.

What if he only had to play for a few minutes in the rest of the game...... That's basically going to sit on the bench most of the time. So he didn't say anything to Chen.

This is also a quick time to practice to find a feeling. The intensity of the opponents in today's game should not be very high. The main thing is to pay more attention to the monsters under the basket. For the Nets, some of Dante's previous concerns have also disappeared one by one.

First of all, the most important thing for these newcomers to the team is the arrangement. The Nets could have put them all on the bench to play with the Nets.

But since the start of the regular season, Brooklyn's style of play has been almost involving the Nets' first and second teams. Chen will also have a few things that he doesn't pay much attention to when employing people.

There are players who you can do well if you ask him to perform some details, and there are other players who can continue to play a role in the later games. But players like this season, who are destined to be marginalized, will have more control over their playing time.

But seeing that Burke has started, today Okafor and he also came to the starting lineup. And it feels as if Dante is a distant relative of Chen Yinan~ In the previous games, Chen was constantly giving Dante opportunities and time, so that he could quickly feel the team's atmosphere, rhythm and some playing styles in the Nets.

Okafor's mood is still very good. Coming to the starting position of the team, he feels good on the field! And I play positively. It seems that there is a vent in the 76ers' own center position that Embiid was taken by Embiid, who returned from injury, so he played very hard in the Nets!

Which player is playing well can be seen immediately in the stats. So after Trey, Okafor quickly caught Chen's attention. Okafor's own abilities are still okay!

It was when "Olajuwon II" suddenly appeared, which made him feel uncomfortable. The Philadelphia side also played less and less in the later games, and then he didn't play it directly!

The game started with Howard getting a quick rebound and passing the ball to Monk. Warcraft on the Hornets is now making more passes. Over the years, he's also seen some changes in the league's style of play, as well as other new ideas coming into the new season.

It made him excited! Although now there is a general feeling that the center should be lighter, can dribble the ball, have flexible feet, be able to pass the ball, can shoot threes, and not always be under the basket. But there are still some teams that are playing in a more traditional way.

After Batum got the basketball, he quickly rushed to the inside of the Nets and made a layup, which was directly interfered with by Dante! Clifford's concern also happened, and that was that the Nets were using a lot of new players.

It's not a big deal for some of the big teams. But it's not good news for teams in general, like the Hornets right now. First of all, the Nets, who were more familiar on the court, may have disappeared all of a sudden. Instead, a team that changes its tempo, and they've got players like Williamson!

Okafor got the ball and dodged Marvin's hand before quickly hitting the ground and passing to Jeremy Lin. The latter saw that the other party hadn't fully reacted and rushed over directly! missed a three-point jumper in the frontcourt, and Williamson, who was following behind, directly grabbed the ball with one hand and scored a violent dunk!

Walker went to the front court and communicated with Lin during the pre-game warm-up. Now their teams have changed a little! After using his rhythm to get past Lin, he found that Burke's defensive ability was still good, so he immediately threw the ball high and passed to Batum, who got the basketball and missed a three-point jumper!

Trey took Jeremy Lin's pass and went to the frontcourt, and directly passed the opponent under Monk's defense and hit a 2-point pull-up jumper!

Howard dunked and scored as soon as he got the ball! Now if he wants to attack, there are not many people who can defend him. Burke didn't think too much about it, and after getting Dante's serve, he went to the frontcourt alone, and used his rhythm to quickly free up space and jump to hit a three-point shot under the bag of Batum and Walker! 7：2！

Batum's face was not very fast. This guy who has just joined the Nets, is going to keep his highlight performance in this game?

Warcraft gets the basketball again and throws the ball in front of Dante! 7：4！ Williamson got a pass from Trey after halftime and went straight into the net with three points! The Hornets are asking for a timeout.

"It's important to note that the Nets' interior players are also good, so be vigilant. On the outside, Kaminsky will play and quickly come out to pack up Williamson with Batum if necessary. Defenders defend one by one, don't take too many steps......"

The Nets strengthened their defense against the Hornets' interior players after seeing the opponent constantly passing the ball to the Monster! Whether it's Marvin or Howard! At the beginning of today, Chen saw that his team was still okay in terms of playing style.

I didn't get too much interference from the other party. And the fit is also good.

"I also saw that the opponent now has to find a way to pass the ball inside if the player on the outside can't open it. Okafor, if it's difficult to fight against Howard, keep your distance from him and wait for the ball to come and break it quickly! Dent is going to wrap up with Okafor if Howard gets the ball, and if he passes the ball, there are other players to defend, so we're going to have to shrink in a little bit......"

After returning to the court, Walker slowly went to the frontcourt, and under Lim's defense, he used Kaminsky's body as a cover and immediately hit a jumper and a three-point shot! 10：7！

Walker won't let the Nets distance themselves from them easily! His personal abilities are also good! Trey carried the ball to the frontcourt, and after attracting two defenders, he immediately passed the ball to Dent, who hit a straight jumper for a 2-pointer! 12：7！

It was only after the goal was scored that the players on the Hornets side realized that they had just forgotten the manager's words...... Walker picked up the pace, Monk didn't have a quick jump shot after getting the basketball on the other side, and Batum took the basketball and rushed in to score quickly! 12：9！

Lin went to the frontcourt and rushed in after Williamson came over, allowing Howard to directly receive a foul and hit all 2 free throws! 14：9！ I don't know if it's because I lost more in the previous games or what, the Nets' offense today is very fierce!
