Chapter 235 Training Newcomers
To these two questions, Old Nelson and Li Du gave very vague answers. They just said that after all, Yao Ming suffered a broken bone and was injured for [-] days. Even if Yao Ming could return, it would be around the time of the All-Star Game!
Li Du led the Warriors to a good start to the season. The media and fans praised him, but he himself was not very happy because the lineup was not complete.

Playing against the Rockets, the Warriors should win, but the Warriors' inside players, especially the inside defense, are really horrible!Although the Rockets lost by a big score, Scola actually scored a large double-double with 25 points and 14 rebounds!
With a height of 2 meters, Scola is not good in physical fitness, and he has pretty good skills at the basket. He was able to enter the Warriors' inside line like no one. One can imagine how weak the Warriors' inside line is!This problem is not only a headache for Li Du and old Nelson, but also for the entire Warriors management team.

Yao Ming at least had to wait until around the All-Star break to make his comeback, and half the season had already passed by then!During this half of the season, the Warriors can only rely on Li Du and a group of young outside players. It's okay to meet a weak team. Once they meet a strong team, they may be the ones who will be slaughtered!

With this question in mind, Li Du found Old Nelson and said to him: "Coach, although we have played well in the past few games, I always feel that something is wrong in my heart. Even if Brother Yao returns, we still need a The person who replaces him, when he rests, help us guard the inside!"

Old Nelson rubbed his temples and said, "Li, I've been thinking about what you said a long time ago. It's just too difficult to find an excellent inside player who can guard the penalty area in this day and age. I'm thinking, what if If we can't find a good insider, maybe we can consider it from the 4th position."

"Power forward?" Li Du didn't understand. The power forward was also called the "second center" in the past, and he was also an inside player!
Old Nelson smiled and asked Li Du: "Li, what do you think of our current style of play?"

Li Du said: "This tactic is very good. It is completely prepared for a team like ours with many shooters. Now that the season has just started, we have only played 8 or 9 games, but we have already averaged 16 shots per game. More than 20-pointers and more than [-] team assists. For an average team, we don’t need to defend to win!”

Old Nelson nodded, and then said: "So, I'm thinking, if one day when the game is the most critical, three-pointers must be used to determine the outcome, if five people on the court can shoot three-pointers, there will be If we have a stable shooting percentage, then we will have a great advantage! This is another way we can choose when we can’t find Yao’s substitute.”

Following the old Nelson's words, Li Du imagined in his mind what it would be like if there was such a lineup.Then he opened his eyes and asked directly: "Then coach, do you have someone to choose now?"

Old Nelson smiled wryly, "It's not that easy! Now I just have this idea. I still need to make a more careful plan for who and who I should choose."

"So..." Old Nelson patted Li Du's shoulder heavily, "Li, you just have to work hard at this stage, and the team can only rely on you!"

Li Du nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the training ground.Looking at the back of Li Du leaving, old Nelson sighed and thought to himself: "My dear Li Du, I will give you everything I can give you. As for how far you can reach in the future, it depends on yourself. That's it! Leading the remnant formation against the powerful is a test you must go through!"

In fact, Li Du doesn't want to rely on anyone in his heart. When he was in the Lakers, he rarely relied on Kobe, let alone now!He just hopes to have help around him, and the inside players happen to be the most lacking people in the team.

After training, most of the players went back.The habit Li Du learned from Kobe is extra training. He also knows that many NBA superstars are called geniuses, but in fact, the sweat and effort they put in behind the scenes is several times, or even dozens of times, that of other players!Similarly, Li Du is called a devil in the game. In the eyes of many media, fans and celebrities of the older generation, he is an unborn basketball genius, but he has paid more for basketball!
When Li Du stayed alone to practice, he moved his ears and heard someone open the door behind him.Turning around to see, it turned out to be Radmanovich.

"Vladimir, why haven't you come home yet?" Li Du asked casually.

"Boss!" Radmanovich walked up to Li Du with a serious face, and solemnly said to Li Du: "Boss, I know that I am dragging the team back, I don't want to do this! I want to become stronger, become Stronger! Boss, please help me!" Radmanovich bowed heavily to Li Du as he spoke.

Looking at Radmanovich, Li Du's heart moved a little. With Yao Ming unable to return and unable to find other outstanding players, it seems that it is a good choice to seek player training from within.

So Li Du gently helped Radmanovich up, stared into his eyes, and asked: "Vladimir, everyone wants to become stronger, but there are very few people who can really do it! You Tell me, can you endure hardship?"

"Yes!" Radmanovich raised his chest like a soldier, and assured Li Du loudly.

"Can you do what I tell you to do?" Li Du continued to ask.

Radmanovich maintained the appearance of the soldier facing the general's inspection, and replied loudly: "Boss, I will do whatever you ask me to do! I will never be lazy, let alone resist your orders!"

Li Du nodded, clapped his hands vigorously, and gave the first order: "In this case, first of all, I need to see your strength! Come on, let's test the various indicators of your body first."

"Yes!"

After testing, Li Du found that Radmanovic's physical condition is not only top-notch, but also very good.As a center forward, it only takes him a little over 4 seconds to run from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and his bounce is not bad, with a vertical take-off height of about 60 centimeters.What surprised Li Du the most was that Radmanovic's core strength turned out to be very good!

With such physical talent, why is Radmanovic's performance on the court so poor?Li Du didn't understand.So he said to Radmanovic: "Vladimir, in fact, your physical talent is not bad and you have great potential. I want to see other aspects of you. Let's have a one-on-one!"
