NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 34 Preseason against the Celtics!
The training camp ended perfectly yesterday. At this time, Presti was sitting in the office, looking at the preseason game list in his hand, thinking.

A total of four games, the first game against the Boston Celtics
Game [-] against the Los Angeles Lakers
Game [-] vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Game [-] vs. San Antonio Spurs

"No, I said a complete victory, but you don't need to let me fight the four championship contenders." Presti rubbed his temples with a helpless expression.

Playing in the NBA in this era can be said to be hand-to-hand combat, and the points are really scored one by one, because everyone attaches great importance to defense, which can be said to be iron-blooded defense!

And in this league where defense is so important, especially led by the Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers!

Now the core of the Thunder is rookies except for Baron Davis and Raheem. It is not bad that these rookies can play half of their offensive ability against these defensive teams.

Presti rubbed his chin, he only had so few legendary coins left, and he must not waste them on meaningless preseason games, so he had to think about a way.

At this time, in the NBA president's office, David Scotten and his special assistant Adam Silver were laughing. David Scotten said with a smile: "4 championship teams are enough for the Thunder."

Xiao Hua smiled, and said: "Except for the rookie thing he said before, everything else has indeed been successful and fulfilled, but this time, let's see how he can win all the 4 championship teams."

"Well, it is estimated that the ratings of these four games will not be low. Don't say it, the Oklahoma City Thunder has such a treasure manager that it has indeed minimized the losses caused by the relocation," said David Scotten.

"Yes, and not only did it not lose to the league, it also indirectly increased the attention of the outside world to the league. After all, most people now know that the Oklahoma City Thunder has a general manager and coach who brags wildly." Adam Silver smiled all over his face.

"Haha, there are two days until the preseason, I can't wait," David Scotten said with a laugh.

Presti thought about it for a while, let's go to the arena first. Presti walked and thought about how to deal with the Celtics who are in full swing. The current Celtics have just won the NBA championship, and they are full of momentum!
After arriving at the arena, Presti found a corner and sat down. At this time, Westbrook was making free throws and mid-range zombie jumpers on the court!Durant contacted breakthroughs and emergency stop shots,

Jordan and Mbah a Moute are still working hard to practice defense, Dragic is connected with breakthroughs and corner shots, and Jeff Green is connected with breakthroughs and fixed-point shots.

"Well, Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Perkins, Rondo, how can this team win with a rookie?" Presti looked at the players on the court with a sad face.

"Huh, in fact, our lineup is not without advantages. The opponent's Big Three have been in the NBA for nearly ten years, and their experience is definitely not comparable. But our speed is not what they have, especially Perkins, who played an important role in the Thunder's finals in his previous life. At this time, his speed is already slower than when he first entered the league. It's too right to use his speed to kill them!"

Having an idea for a moment, Presti walked to the court and gathered the players together. Presti smiled and said, "Have you read the preseason schedule?"

Without waiting for the players to answer, Presti said directly: "We will play 4 games, and each game will be a championship seed team, especially the defending champion Celtics we will face in the first game!"

Although everyone has read the schedule, they still couldn't help being excited when they heard what the general manager said. The league actually arranged for a new team of ours to play against the previous championship team.

Presti saw the excitement on the players' faces, and then his face became serious: "I have already boasted in front of the reporters that I won all 4 games."

As soon as Presti finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd, and finally Jordan couldn't help asking: "General Manager, that's a championship team..."

Presti interrupted Jordan's question with a wave of his hand, and said: "I can win by implementing my tactics! But you also need to be in the best state!".

Dragic said: "We will, coach!"

"Well, the game will be the day after tomorrow, come on," Presti left the arena after finishing speaking.

After Presti left the arena, Wo Shen called and asked if it was necessary to play up the game between the Thunder and the Celtics.

Presti touched his chin habitually, and said, "Anyway, several media have already reported what I said in the public training game. If this is the case, then let the ridicule come out a little bit more violently, saying that the Oklahoma City Thunder didn't take the Celtics seriously!"

Wo Shen hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything. Since it was the boss's order, he had to execute it.

Soon the day of the game came, and the Celtics' home court was full of Celtics fans. The attendance rate in the preseason games in the past was generally less than 60%, but now it was full of seats, comparable to the attendance rate in the playoffs.

A reporter interviewed a random Celtics fan and asked, "Why come back for the preseason!"

The Celtics fans laughed and said, "Of course it's to see how good the team is that doesn't care about us," and raised their middle finger after speaking.

Of course, Presti didn't know about this scene. At this time, he was explaining the points that the players should pay attention to: "Remember, your starting style of play is very simple, three words on the ground, and when you attack, give me 20 seconds to attack, understand?"

The players nodded in agreement, expressing their understanding of the tactics.

With the whistle blowing, the game is about to start.

Thunder starters: Baron Davis, Dragic, Mbah a Moute, Wilkins, Collison.
