Coach Lee

Chapter 192 The 19-year-old captain
Li Nan became the captain of the NBA team at the age of 19, so he was naturally targeted by many media!
"Sports Illustrated" said this: "No.1 in history! Chinese Li won the trust of Larry Brown at a young age! This is really rare!"

"Philadelphia Sports News" commented on Li Nan: "Chinese Li is a rare young man! In the last season, Iverson was injured twice, and he presided over many games! This is a A player that the coach likes very much!"

"Oakland Soldiers" said: "Lee's growth is enviable. His maturity reassures his teammates and coaches. Li is worthy of the captaincy!"

There are also some reports that do not agree with those views.

"Sports Pioneer" said this, "19 years old is really too young to be the captain! There are more suitable candidates in the 76ers than Lee. Derek Coleman! Stackhouse !Williams! These are veteran players! Larry Brown is an unwise choice and will definitely cause discord within the team."

Some media in Chicago interviewed Michael Jordan about this matter.

Thinking of the foreigner who embarrassed him the first time they met, Jordan smiled and said, "Is Li the captain? I totally believe it! That guy is better than what you've seen! He has no problem being the captain at all."

When a Chicago fan was asked this question, he said this: "That guy? Don't be kidding, how is it possible? Be the captain at the age of 19? Then I became Jordan's teammate."

But when faced with this question, the Philadelphia fans said: "I completely agree! Lee is a very suitable candidate to be the captain! Of course, if Allen is also the captain, it would be perfect!"

When the outside world is making a fuss, there are naturally different voices in the 76ers.

……

"gather!"

The 37-year-old captain Wilkins shouted loudly.

The old man Larry Brown didn't come today, so the captain will lead everyone to practice first.

However, those guys off the field still have a lot of old fritters resting, and they don't give face at all.

"Dominic is with that old man, he just wants to train us to death!"

"Don't pay attention to him, let's sit down for a while!"

"Li is coming over, we pretend to ignore him."

When everyone saw Li Nan coming, they all ignored him.

Li Nan sat down by himself.

Um?what happened?Didn't you come to call someone?

Frank King couldn't hold back and asked.

"Li, have you been bought by that old man?"

"How is it possible? I really didn't want to be the captain. That old man messed it up! How comfortable it is to sit off the court like this!" Li Nan leaned comfortably on the seat, leisurely.

"That's right, that old man, he knows how to practice, practice, practice, practice and practice every day. Sooner or later, we will be practiced to death here!"

Is Frank King, a small man with a big mouth, really full of complaints?
Li Nan also taunted: "Frank, you skinny monkey! I told you not to go to the nightclub, but you insisted! You don't have the strength to train now, do you? One day, you will be cut off."

"Hahaha, Frank, you skinny monkey!"

While everyone was laughing, Wilkins came over suddenly, "Li, today's training is entrusted to you, I have something to go out for a while."

"Hey! I haven't agreed yet!"

Li Nan stretched out his hand, but he couldn't catch up with the guy who was walking faster.

"I wipe!"

Li Nan looked at the elders sitting there, and then shouted, "Uh, everyone, listen to me!!!"

Many people looked over reluctantly.

"Li, you are a traitor, you betrayed us!" Frank King stood up and yelled this sentence for everyone indignantly!

Then, Li Nan looked at him and smiled, and then said: "Okay, I announce that the rest will continue to rest, and Frank will practice sliding back and forth for 10 minutes by himself!"

"Aww!!!" The others gloated and yelled.

Frank King wanted to cry but had no tears, "Li, you are avenging yourself!"

But other people gathered around, watching the show was not too lively.

"Frank, hurry up! We'll see!"

Frank King: "I... woo woo woo, why is my life so miserable?"

……

Somewhere in the arena, Larry Brown and Wilkins and Davis are all staring inside.

Inside, Frank was amused first. After a few minutes, everyone was happy, and the training started naturally.

Larry Brown said: "Dominic, have you seen it? He is more suitable to be the captain than you! Although he is young, he has this ability. This is an innate charisma and leadership ability. !"

"Indeed!" Wilkins nodded.

This kid is unusual.This kid was one of the reasons why I decided to come to Philadelphia.

Davis on the side is smiling!I know more than you all!Hey hey hey!
……

The training days are coming to an end, October is coming to an end!

October 10th! The NBA officially announced the team strength rankings for the new season!
The only file: Chicago Bulls!

The Bulls retained last season's complete championship lineup, the combination of Jordan + Pippen, and this season is still the best scoring in the league!
First gear:
Utah Jazz, Seattle SuperSonics, Houston Heat, Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers.

Several old strong teams are still capable of competing for the championship. Although the Lakers are ranked No.7 at the bottom, they are the team with the greatest potential!

Second gear:
Eagles, Hornets, Pacers, Pistons, Suns, Trail Blazers, Cavaliers, Magic, Wizards, Spurs, 76ers, Kings, Timberwolves, Nets, Mavericks, Celtics.

This is a team with playoff strength.

The Pacers are [-]th overall.This season, they replaced the new head coach Larry Bird, and the backcourt combination of Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson is also very promising.

The 76ers ranked 18th overall.Larry Brown's transformation of the team is not very effective so far.However, the 76ers' lineup is deep enough.The Philadelphia Twins' backcourt combination is still very strong.

Third gear:
Warriors, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Bucks, Raptors.

These are the six teams that are not favored. In the new season, they are likely to go to the lottery next year.

……

Some people have great opinions on this strength ranking.

"Xiao Li, isn't this unfair? Our preseason record is 5-1, ranking 25th in the league, and your record is 1-5, ranking 18th! What kind of rubbish ranking is this? It's not fair!"

Wang Dazhi called again, still in an aggrieved tone!
Li Nan said indifferently: "Don't care about those details. Think about it, when the season is over and you have reached the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference, can you beat those people in the face?"

With a clap of pa, Wang Dazhi also said happily: "That's right, it really feels quite cool. But...Xiao Li, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Hehe, so you are not stupid?"

……

The turmoil of this month has passed, and the time has come to the last day of October!
NBA regular season opener: Bulls vs 76ers!
