Coach Lee

Chapter 651 Prester, come out to pick up the guests! (65)

The next day, news broke about the new Nuggets coach George Karl.

George Karl is a coach who has the ability to turn bad into magic.The Nuggets seem to have been looked at by Gao, and everyone thinks that the Nuggets should have the possibility of hitting the playoffs.

Regardless of the wind and rain outside, the Nuggets put all their energy into training.

During these days of training, Li Nan's attention has always been on Darko Milicic.

Milicic, 18 years old, has a yellow hair, very handsome, 2 meters 13, weight 111 kg, wingspan 226, bounce 82 cm, almost perfect data.

Scouts commented on the inside line: Very explosive, can shoot with both hands, as a center, the ball-handling ability is not weak, and he can shoot three-pointers, star template enhanced version of Dirk Nowitzki or Garnett.

Some media said that when he tried out the Pistons, Dumars, the general manager of the Pistons at the time, was shocked. Dumas even sighed: This guy is simply Chamberlain.

In the summer league, James, Anthony and others did not participate at all.The only one with high hopes is Milicic.

However, Milicic still has a lot of playing time, but his performance on the court is not satisfactory.

He averaged 24 minutes per game, 8.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.2 turnovers and 3.6 fouls, shooting 35% from the field and 12% from the three-point range. Terrible!

Milicic's playing style is a bit elegant, or to put it directly, it is insufficient confrontation, it is soft!He might be fine against European bigs, but he's pretty weak defensively against American players.

Under the stern old coach Larry Brown, he was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head.

Milicic is a shy guy, but he met the most staid in NBA history, the least willing to waste time training rookies, and the most defensive head coach Larry Brown.Maybe this is a mistake?

Larry Brown unceremoniously publicly stated to the media, "Dakota is not a member of my lineup."

Larry Brown's private evaluation of Milicic is extremely low.

After the summer split, Larry Brown decided to sell the No. [-] pick in exchange for a well-established general from the Nuggets.

Is Milicic really as unbearable as Larry Brown said?
Li Nan wanted to know very much.

Li Nan and George Karl are paying close attention to Milicic.

The team's player file has some information about Milicic.

This is a talented boy from the former Yugoslavia. His father participated in the Bosnian War. When he was a child, he was almost raised by his mother doing hard work. He was recruited into the local team at the age of 14, and has already started to live independently, and has made his own breakthrough in the European professional league. He is known as a "genius" and is quite sought after by the locals.His mother sold her property to buy back a cow in order to give him milk and make her son grow taller and stronger.When he was training in the dilapidated arena, NATO bombers were dropping bombs in the sky.After seeing too much poverty, backwardness and war, he wanted to emulate Divac and Stojakovic and earn a lot of money for his family.That's how it got into the NBA.

I don't know if it's because of the poverty of the family or because of something else, Milicic is really inferior and introverted.It was in stark contrast to his tall and handsome appearance.

Moreover, his English is not very good, much like the previous Dazhi, no, worse than Dazhi.

As for playing, it is indeed as soft as some of Larry Brown's comments!
.

At the end of a training session, Li Nan left Milicic behind.

"Dako, wait a minute!"

"okay!"

It was such an answer that Milicic blushed.

"Dako, I'll take you to a place later."

"Where?"

If someone else would ask that.However, Milicic didn't, so he responded obediently: "Okay."

On the way, the two didn't talk much, Li Nan just asked casually.

"Dako, why do you play basketball?"

Milicic replied without thinking: "For my mother to live better."

Li Nan knew that Milicic's house was really difficult.

And Milicic's ability to answer in this way also proves that this is a responsible and responsible child.

It's much easier now.

.

The destination is a fitness club.

When he saw two boxers punching continuously in the boxing arena from a distance, Milicic's eyes suddenly brightened, and his body moved involuntarily.

"Dako, do you want to go up and play?"

Accidentally, Li Nan discovered that Milicic's hobby turned out to be boxing.

Today, Li Nan brought Milicic over to play.

Milicic was a little excited, eager to try, "Can you?"

"Of course." Li Nan made a call, "Plest, come out to pick up the guests!"

Soon, Lauderdale rushed out, a large piece of meat rushed so fast, it was really scary.

Li Nan has learned some knowledge of physics. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and it is not so easy to brake.

"Li, I really miss you!"

After Lauderdale retired, he opened such a health club and played here every day.His hobby is wrestling.

"Prest, you take our new friend up to have fun."

Only then did Lauderdale look at the big man Milicic next to him.

How handsome he is!So handsome that he has no friends!

"I know you, you are the second place in the parallel import list abandoned by the Pistons, right?"

"Prest, you are talking nonsense. Darko is the only one who replaced our three champions in the starting line-up. Could he be a parallel importer?"

"Ah, yes yes yes."

Lauderdale's cooperation was very stupid, and Milicic's eyes darkened.

Li Nan also pushed the two of them, "Hurry up, go up and play. Princeton, Darko is a novice, you have to let him order."

"OK, no problem, I'm also new to school for a few days." Lauderdale patted his chest.It's all on me.

The two little giants soon appeared in the boxing ring.

Lauderdale still took good care of his juniors, "Dako, just come, I will let you order."

"Well, okay." Milicic nodded with a smile.

Then, the game began.

"Sigh~~"

At the start, Priest took a punch from Milicic, and he immediately took a long jump,
"Okay, Darko, well played."

"Thank you." Milicic's eyes were serious.

"Dako, it seems that you are a bit skilled. Well, I will be serious next time."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"watch out!"

Prester jumped up and punched Milicic,

then,

"Aiyo~~Aiyo~~Aiyo~~Don't fight, don't fight, I admit defeat~Aiyo~~"

Lauderdale, a half boxer, was beaten hard by Milicic, an amateur boxer.

Seeing Milicic bursting out with different enthusiasm in the boxing ring, Li Nan in the audience also showed a smile.

Before leaving, Li Nan did not forget to say a few words about Lauderdale.

"Prest, are you alright?"

"It's okay, of course I'm fine, this little injury is nothing at all."

"It's as long as it's okay, then like this, Darko will come to discuss with you every week from now on."

Lauderdale: .
"Thank you, Priest."

Lauderdale was about to refuse, but the handsome guy had already said thank you.What else can Lauderdale say?
"Hahaha, they are all my brothers, don't meet outsiders. You are welcome to come again next time, hahaha."
