Chapter 947: Summer United MVP ([-])
"Dude, this is the NBA, this is the business field, I really want to keep you, but as the head coach, I can't have too much selfishness, I still have to think about how to strengthen the team~!! "

Before the start of the summer league, during the two days when Lan Shengli took a short vacation, Lan Shengli called Brand to comfort him.

Because Brand was sent to the Timberwolves by the Clippers in the previous draft.

The more important reason why Lan Shengli made this call was because Lan Shengli had promised Brand when he was just injured that the Clippers' starting power forward position would always be reserved for him, but now When something like this happened, Lan Shengli would "break his promise".

"I've expected this day for a long time. When I was seriously injured for the first time, I thought the team would trade me, but it didn't happen. Instead, it patiently waited for me to heal, so I have Thank you so much~"

Brand responded.

It seems that Brand's mentality is still good.

"Sorry, I couldn't let you go back to the Clippers, I hope you can understand~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Haha, you're too polite, Coach Blue, didn't you just say that the NBA is a business field, so anything can happen, and a player like me who has experienced big winds and waves is no longer so concerned about such things. It’s okay to be sensitive, so don’t blame yourself, you’re just doing your job, there’s no right or wrong in it~!!”

Brand continued.

Or what Brand said could make Lan Shengli feel better.

"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"This year, you have shown a very strong competitive spirit, fighting spirit, and high-quality professionalism. I am deeply impressed by this, and your potential is slowly being fulfilled. Going to the Timberwolves may make you even better. Realize these talents quickly, come on, young man~!!"

After calling Brand, Lan Shengli called Johnson again.

And Johnson didn't feel any guilt, so Lan Shengli was more of a blessing.

"Thank you, Coach Blue, you are a good coach, an excellent young coach, you also work hard, you are also a young man, haha~!!"

Johnson responded with a smile.

"Haha~, you are right, we are still very young~"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

The reason why Lan Shengli gave up Johnson, who was just selected last year and had high hopes, was of course because of George's arrival.

Although there is basically no difference in the content of the college games between the two, in Lan Shengli's eyes, George is the player who is more talented and more malleable in the future.

While speaking, George represented that the Clippers had come to Las Vegas to participate in the summer league.

As a Clippers rookie, George needs to prove himself in summer league.

George thought so too, and did the same.

"The cast is just right~!!"

I saw George following the opponent's small guard who was breaking through. When he took off for a layup, he took off aggressively and jumped up like stepping on a spring. He aimed at the ball and thought to himself.

The ball at this moment has become George's dish, and he is basically running~

"Crack~!!, Clap~!!"

George stretched out his long arms and directly slapped the ball heavily on the backboard.

A very clean and beautiful closure.

In the first round, George showed the excellent defensive skills and block awareness mentioned in the scouting report.

This kind of talent is based on excellent physical fitness, innate, and it is difficult to develop it the day after tomorrow.

The Clippers center followed up and received the rebound. Although the first defense was a bit thrilling, it was still a success.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"Good defense~!!, good defense~!!, keep it up~!!, keep this concentration and toughness~!!"

Harper immediately clapped his hands to encourage the players.

"It seems like I'm watching Coach Harper lead the Lausanne Academy to play~, haha~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli also laughed.

"Sure enough, he is a spring man, that kind of explosive power is really enviable~"

Le Fu also sighed.

"Haha~, so you have to be careful, if you get dunked by George during the team training, I might celebrate with everyone~!"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

"Cut~, it's impossible, we must be in the same team~"

Love shook his head and said.

Looking back on the field, George did not take the initiative to catch the ball in the Clippers' offense, but settled near the baseline.

After all, George was used to this offensive method in college, so even though Coach Harper reminded George to take on more offensive responsibilities, George still didn't follow through.

Soon, the ball came to George's hands.

"Come on~, compared to those blocks, I want to see what kind of performance you will have on the offensive end~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately cheered up.

"Just less than half a year later, can there be a big change~?!"

Love asked.

"Of course, after all, the NCAA does not have a three-second defense, so it is really uncomfortable for players who are good at breaking through, but the NBA has this rule, so in the position stage, the inside is not so crowded. I believe George I will play more openly~!!"

Lan Shengli explained.

Here George is indeed very eager to express, holding the ball, and directly hitting his back.

After two back hits, it was a mid-range shot directly after a lateral dribble~
"Clang clang~!!"

The ball missed a lot and went out with a strike.

Although the entire technical movements are relatively unfamiliar and not so coherent, George is already making changes.

If it was in college, George would basically pass the ball back directly to the defender, and he would not play like this.

However, the reason for playing like this has a lot to do with the arrangement of the head coach.

"It's a pity~!!"

Seeing the ball hit the ground, Lan Shengli sighed.

Although the ball failed to score and the Blazers also protected the rebound, George did not seem to give up this offensive round.

"Return to defense, quickly return to defense~!!"

Even though Coach Harper yelled to remind him here, George was still facing the basket, as if he had been acupunctured, standing motionless on the previous shooting point.

"You knew you were going to pass it like this~!!"

I saw George staring at the opposing center's eyes, and made a prediction of a steal.

"Crack!!"

Sure enough, George started early when the opponent's center passed the ball, and correctly judged the passing route. When the opponent's small guard had already greeted the ball in advance, he still took the first step to stop it.

"Beautiful job~!!!"
