Chapter 652: Miscellaneous Army (64)

There are so many things this summer.
It was Jordan who retired and did not retire. It was the Wizards' change of ownership. It was the Bubvitch incident. It was the Lakers' Big4. It was also the New Division champion James. It was this and that.
This summer is really lively.
The Nuggets became popular at the beginning of this summer. After winning the championship, the team was hollowed out by each team, and then "picking up rubbish" in the free agency market.
Throughout the summer, others were strengthening, but the Nuggets were picking up rubbish. Whatever others don't want is handled by the Nuggets, and what others lose is picked up by the Nuggets. How miserable is the defending champion?
However, none of this has anything to do with Li Nan.
In addition to occasionally going out to participate in fishing competitions with Jordan this summer, and occasionally going out to dinner together, Li Nan took the baby at home and was reading and studying. If you have nothing to do, read more books and accumulate less. One day you can become a man of great wisdom.
Li Nan's summer was very leisurely and very tired.
The holiday is over soon.
At the end of September, Li Nan returned to the arena. To be honest, he was really reluctant to leave for the holiday.
Walked into the familiar Pepsi Center arena and headed towards the general manager's office.
"Hello Lee!"
"Li, you are finally back!"
"Hey! Lee! It's nice to meet you!"
The staff who met along the way all gave big smiles and were very enthusiastic.
Knocking~
"Come in!"
Li Nan knocked on the door of the general manager's office.
In the office, Li Nan met a familiar stranger.
George Karl!
Unexpectedly, the surprise manager Vince said was him.
Coach George Carr's coaching philosophy is team basketball.
There are no superstars in the team, and the game depends on the strength of the team. But when the game is played every night, there will always be someone who temporarily becomes the superstar of the game.
In the NBA, coaches not only instill tactical ideas into players, but more importantly, they care for the players' self-esteem and unite players with different mental states.
Karl allows players to make mistakes, and players also allow coaches to occasionally faint, but the mutual respect and trust between players and coaches has never been damaged.
Carl often said: "No one can direct or play a perfect game."
He is a wise, visionary and charming coach.
"Hello, Coach Carl."
"Lee, just call me George."
George Karl held Li Nan's hand tightly, and didn't mean to let it go.
It's like an old mother met her favorite daughter-in-law.
Before coaching the Nuggets, George Carr did say "the team does not have superstars..." but that is when the team really does not have superstars.
Like the Cavaliers, Warriors, Sonics, and Bucks coached before, they only have star players, but superstars don't.
However, it is different now, the team has superstars! Of course he doesn't like Li Nan, a superstar.
Who would have trouble with superstars?
George Karl has been chatting with Li Nan since Li Nan came in.
Talk about life, about food, about geography, about travel...just not about basketball.
When the two left the general manager's office together, they were already hooking their shoulders.
The two went to the training ground together.
The new members of the Nuggets are already practicing on the court.
"Lee!"
The old teammate Anderson was the first to run over and clap with Li Nan.
Then, the coach in charge of training on the field is also welcome.
"Chris, 10 laps."
Seeing Anderson's bitter face, Li Nan smiled heartlessly.
"Go, hurry up! Otherwise 10 more laps,"
Obviously, Li Nan's words are more useful, and Anderson has already started running.
The assistant coach on the field shook his head and sighed.
Head coach George Karl smiled kindly. Then, he pulled Li Nan aside and sat down.
Neither of them spoke, but quietly watched the training on the field.
The current Nuggets team is really completely changed. Many people are completely unknown to Li Nan. Without checking some of the materials and photos sent by the teaching assistant, Li Nan could hardly name him.
Point guards: Andre Miller, Steve Blake, Morris Williams, Devin Brown
Shooting guards: Kyle Korver, Joan Barry, Jeff Trepagnier, Predrag Savovic
Small front: Stephen Jackson, Burris Dior, Vincent Aberle
Power forwards: Chris Anderson, Nick Rhodes-Scottishvili, Mark Pope
Centers: Darko Milicic, Dikembe Mutombo, Michael Doriak, Francisco Elson
How did the media comment on these Li Nan's new teammates?
young?
Not!
Miscellaneous army!
These miscellaneous teams were picked up by the Nuggets this summer!
Burris Dior was the French magician selected by the Nuggets in the first round, Maurice Williams was selected by the Nuggets in the second round, and Kyle Korver was the last pick of the Nuggets in the second round. Milicic and Joan Barry were lost to the Nuggets in the Pistons' trade, and Steve Blake was the last-round pick given to the Nuggets by the Wizards.
Mutombo is an old man abandoned by the Nets, Andre Miller is abandoned by the Wizards, Jackson is a free agent from the Spurs. They, like Mark Pope and others ~EbookFREE.me~, were all swept away by the Nuggets in the free agency market.
On the field, most of these people's training is the Nuggets' own assistant coach last season.
These new players are training the Nuggets' old routine.
D'Antoni is gone, but the Nuggets management still hopes to retain their "traditional play."
After watching it for a while, George Karl spoke up.
"Lee, what do you think of them"
George Carr speaks very softly, just like his kind appearance, which makes people feel like spring breeze, very comfortable.
"I think they are all very good. They are serious and hardworking. As long as they are given a chance, they will behave differently."
Although the media gave the Nuggets players a bad evaluation, Li Nan didn't feel that way. As long as you work hard, there will always be a way out.
"Hen~ I think so too."
George Karl smiled and glanced at Li Nan, then turned to look on the court. After a while, he patted Li Nan on the shoulder again and asked, "Li, the single-core leader, are you under pressure?"
Will single core be a problem? Is there really pressure?
Li Nan smiled and said easily:
"No, didn't you tell me the coach? Your team does not have superstars, because everyone is a superstar."
George Karl started to play stupid. "Did I say that? You must have remembered it wrong."
"Hahaha~~~"
"Hahaha"
After the training, Li Nan generously invited the whole team to a big meal.
There is nothing that can't be solved by one meal.
The food is delicious, the drink is refreshing, the relationship between everyone is also healed quickly, and the training is more vigorous.
