Chapter 58 Am I getting old?

Li Lei said, "Coach Kuang, you can come to the Heat, but not in the name of looking for Dazhi, but in the name of visiting and studying with domestic coaches."

Li Lei just started.

Zhang Weiping patted his thigh: "That's right, why didn't we think of that?"

Kuang Lubin also said happily: "In this way, Da Zhi will have much less resistance to me. I don't need to say it explicitly, I just need to influence Da Zhi subtly, and he will definitely change his mind."

Kuang Lubin praised: "Shitou, your opinion is too precious, and it has made a great contribution to Chinese basketball!"

Li Lei waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I just came up with an idea, but you have to do it. You are the one who has made great contributions to the Chinese men's basketball team. Your painstaking efforts will definitely move Brother Wang!"

……

12 month 12 day.

The Heat host the Memphis Grizzlies.

This is the team led by the old coach Hubie Brown, the core is the Spanish big man Pau Gasol.

In a fierce battle, the Heat slaughtered the bears 99:93, with a total record of 12 wins and 10 losses.

Early the next morning, coach Kuang Lubin came to the Heat.

These days, David Stern is promoting the NBA's globalization strategy. As long as it helps the NBA to promote overseas, everything will be given the green light.

This work efficiency is not generally high.

When Dazhi saw Kuang Lubin, complex emotions flashed in his eyes: resistance, self-blame, sadness...

On the 14th and 16th, the Heat defeated the Raptors and the Eagles in a row, and their record improved to 14 wins and 10 losses.

Li Lei still maintains a high output, and his scoring average per game has steadily increased.

But Wang Zhizhi failed to get the chance to play.

His strengths and weaknesses are all too obvious.

On the offensive end, Wang Zhizhi has flexible footwork, ideal shooting range, and comprehensive skills.

On the defensive end, Wang Zhizhi had poor confrontation and slow pace.

Once he is on the court, he will be a colander in the Heat's lineup, and opponents will focus on Wang Zhizhi.

More harm than good!

This is why the Heat's coaching staff gave up on Wang Zhizhi after two trials.

The team's training ended that day, and Li Lei, Haslem, and Wade were training extra, focusing on defensive footwork.

Kuang Lubin came to look for Li Lei.

"Da Zhi has become negative these days and is very unhappy."

Kuang Lubin said worriedly.

Recently, Kuang Lubin and Wang Zhizhi have resumed normal communication. Although not much, it is much better than the original direct conflict.

Li Lei watched Wade and Haslem confront training, but did not answer.

Kuang Lubin waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Li Lei hadn't moved, he couldn't help but asked again, "Shitou, what can you do?"

Li Lei pondered for a moment: "Coach Kuang, if you ask me to speak, I will tell the truth, but don't blame me for being too straightforward!"

Kuang Lubin nodded: "Well, you say it boldly."

Li Lei said: "Knowing that I am weak, why don't I practice more? Knowing where I have problems, why don't I make targeted improvements? Brother Wang's problems are clear at a glance, and you should be able to see them too. But he has been in the NBA for two and a half years, and he is That old look. If you look at Udonis again, he knew he was short, so he worked hard to build muscle, work on the mid-range, and it took only one year to go from being undrafted to being a stable rotation in the NBA."

Ugh!
Kuang Lubin looked at Haslem and sighed.

He still knows his lover.

Wang Zhizhi is far behind Haslem in terms of self-motivation.

Li Lei continued: "Coach Kuang, this is a crisis, but it is also a good opportunity."

Kuang Lubin looked at Li Lei suspiciously.

Li Lei said: "Brother Wang has a problem now, and you just have the opportunity to help him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, can't you get in touch again? As for the way to improve, this is not a problem at all. NBA teams have a complete training system." : Defensive coach, nutritionist, strength coach... You just took the opportunity to learn from it, and then apply it to Brother Wang."

Kuang Lubin slapped his thigh: "Stone, you are amazing! Why didn't I think of that."

Kuang Lubin left in a hurry.

Li Lei didn't care either.

He told Kuang Lubin all the methods, but whether he can succeed in the end depends on Wang Zhizhi himself.

Life is in one's own hands, no matter how anxious others are, it's useless.

……

12 month 17 day.

The Heat come to Philadelphia to play against the 76ers for the third time this season.

But this time, Iverson was unable to play due to injury.

Fortunately, "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson returned from injury.

This is the third game in the Big Dog's comeback.

In the first game against the Nuggets, the Big Dog made 11 of 3 shots and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

In the second game against the Jazz, the Big Dog made 6 of 1 shots and scored 2 points and 1 rebound.

This has caused many fans to question the big dog.

Big Dog was originally a player with a lot of right and wrong, asking for a contract of [-] million yuan, being sued by his fiancée Frankie for domestic violence, drinking for a long time, and not participating in training... He is known as the most wasted talent in NBA history.

In particular, his arrogance made the league dislike him.

大狗新秀赛季场均21.6分6.4篮板2.5助攻，投篮命中率45.1%，三分命中率32.1%。

Compared with James and Durant in the same period, the big dog is not inferior at all, and even crushed James and Durant in double shooting.

As a result, in the selection of the best rookie, Big Dog lost to Hill and Kidd, who were not as good as him in terms of statistics and record. The two tied for the best rookie of the 94-95 season.

In the interview before the game, in the face of the reporter's question, the big dog once again said wildly: "Please, man, you actually asked me if I have the confidence to beat the Heat?"

"I don't even know who is on this Heat team? The old Eddie Jones? Or Lamar Odom who hasn't had a grade yet in fifth grade?"

"The most ridiculous thing is what kind of team basketball your media evaluates. When Jordan was in the Bulls, did someone say what kind of team basketball the Bulls were? When the OK team won three consecutive championships, did someone say what kind of team basketball was the Lakers? Don't follow I said that basketball is for five people, and the outcome depends only on the strongest person on the court."

"And in this game, I'm the one!"

A reporter reminded weakly: "But your performance in the first two games was not good."

The big dog glared at the reporter who spoke: "I am in good shape today! Tonight, you will meet the real Glenn Robinson!"

During the warm-up time, the Big Dog performed a pull-bar dunk, detonating the audience, causing the fans in the Wachovia Center to exclaim again and again.

From the looks of it, Big Dog is in really good shape today.

Think about it too, the big dog is 30 years old this year, which is the age when basketball players are at their peak.

Li Lei also saw this scene, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: Some people can crush everyone with their talents.

We all try to make our way to Rome, and the Big Dog was born in Rome.

Subsequently, the Heat also accepted interviews with reporters.

These reporters premeditatedly repeated what Big Dog said just now, in order to anger the Heat and obtain hot news materials.

However, the Heat were not fooled. The main players of the Heat are restrained people, not the kind of mindless and unhappy people who wantonly speak loudly.

"I don't care what Green said, I just play hard and try to win! Am I old? I am old."

Old Jones answered the reporter.

After the reporter left in disappointment, Li Lei heard Old Jones muttering, "I'm old, but I don't need that bastard Big Dog's reminder!"

This fire is all in my heart!
