legendary basketball guard

Chapter 36

Since the start of the 08 season, the Charlotte Bobcats have officially reorganized into the Larry Brown era.Last season, they didn't make the playoffs with only 4 wins, which has something to do with the team owner's daughter.The team expressed dissatisfaction with the home arena hosting the Charlotte Showjumping Championships at the end of the NBA season. Bobcats owner Robert Johnson organized an equestrian event, and his daughter will participate in this event. All games were away games, which ultimately killed the team's playoff hopes.

This made the conflict between the team's management and the big boss more acute. Jordan's strong intervention made the owner who had already wanted to sell the team sell to Jordan in 06, but it was much earlier than the previous timeline. The big reason is that the appearance of Lin Xiao forced Jordan to become more eager to control the team.He didn't want his own thoughts to take into account the big boss.

On July 2009, 7, the Bobcats sent Emeka Okafor to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for center Tyson Chandler.

Time Warner Center, August 8

"Don't you have any other ideas?"

Lin Xiao said to his younger brother Derek Brown who was training with the team.

"No, boss." Derek Brown said firmly.

"You should have an idea. You are a good player. For the Bobcats who are short on the front and the wing, you are the best supplement. You are the kind of player who can play three positions in one person. Coach Larry Brown's favorite type. So as long as you work hard, you will definitely get a good contract, I promise you Lin Xiao."

"I will work hard, boss." Derek Brown said with a firm face. He has already decided to follow Lin Xiao. The biggest reason is that he doesn't even have an agent.

Lin Xiao knows that Derek Brown's flaw is that the autumn wind is unknown. His bounce and strength are excellent. He is willing to make wedding dresses for his teammates. He is a good role player. It is a part of Lin Xiao's plan. This year Lin Xiao He wanted to return to the playoffs and even reach the second round!

As the preseason approached, more players came to train, from Lin Xiao alone at the beginning, to Derek Brown, and even Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace.

In his previous life, Lin Xiao was very familiar with this player. He came to China many times. At his peak, he scored 18+10 effortlessly, with 10 rebounds.Center data, in the end the Celtics were almost elbowed to death by Bynum.That was a malicious foul, Lin Xiao thought so.

It's a pity, Lin Xiao knows that he still has to work hard for playing time, because he can only be a rookie in the lottery.And his head coach doesn't like to use rookie Larry Brown.

Lin Xiao took Derek Brown and greeted Gerald Wallace naturally, and at the same time stepped forward to help the boss carry the bag naturally.Gerald Wallace was a little confused. The normal plot should be that Lin Xiao is a thorn and needs him to educate him.Lin Xiao knows the rules, and Derek Brown also knows the rules.

"Hi, I'm Lin Xiao."

"Gerald Wallace, you kid came to practice so early."

"Yeah, if you want to come to the bullfight, your hands will itch." Lin Xiao said and handed the bag to his younger brother Derek Brown.

Gerald - Wallace will naturally not refuse, it is inevitable for veterans to teach rookies.

Lin Xiao doesn't like dirty tricks, but that doesn't mean his teammates won't make trouble for him.

Five balls, Lin Xiao's hit is very uncomfortable, Elvis Presley's defense is very tough, but Lin Xiao can still rely on the fadeaway jumper to score points, and Elvis Presley's shooting ability is really unstable, but the strong inside line makes Lin Xiao Not too good either.In general, Lin Xiao is a bit worse, but the gap is not very big.It also has a certain relationship with the location.

Larry Brown didn't know when he stood beside him, but no one noticed it. Gerald Wallace's breakthrough momentum was so strong that Lin Xiao almost couldn't hold it back.However, he still gritted his teeth and held on, but Lin Xiao still fell down due to the huge force.Elvis Presley also scored this goal, and the bullfight ended 5-4.Elvis pulled up Gerald Wallace, which was a recognition of Lin Xiao's strength, and Lin Xiao didn't mean to grab the boss. After the fight, the two sat on a chair to rest, and Derek Brown consciously handed over the water Hand the towel.After that, he went to practice defense again. He chose to face Boris Diaw. Boris Diaw’s state has been declining year by year, but he still has two brushes. Can post up smaller opponents; underrated defense, good contact and movement, average rebounding.He became the champion puzzle of the Spurs in 13-14.

"Boy, aren't you looking for abuse if you fight me one-on-one." Boris Dior patted Derek Brown on the shoulder naturally and said.

"Haha, am I paying tribute like an old bird?" Derek replied shyly.

"Boy, what car do you like, and what car do you want to buy when you have money?" Boris Dio asked.

"... Well, let's talk about it if we have a contract. Boss, what about you?" Derek Brown asked Lin Xiao instead.

"Me? Hummer." Lin Xiao was arranging his locker.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good temper and a wild heart." Gerald Wallace said, wrapping his arms around Lin Xiao's neck.

"I'm worried that you won't adapt to the United States. I didn't expect your English to be so good." Boris Dior also greeted Lin Xiao with a smile.

"Of course, I have been preparing for a long time to come to the United States." Lin Xiao smiled slightly. It is not bad to have contact with the two main players of the team for the time being, but there are some problems with Ronald Murray and Graham.It is the same location after all.Fortunately, Ronald Murray's injury is still unable to participate in training, and only Stephen Graham is currently competing with the team for playing time.

The heads-up between the two started with Dior's low-post offense and Derek Brown's defense, which was equivalent to a sparring match. Larry Brown was very satisfied with such a team environment.Larry Brown's coaching standard is defense!Defense and defense, he will not give others a chance to make mistakes, Lin Xiao also specifically told Derek Brown to show his defense if he can.

However, Dior's all-round skills make it difficult for Derek Brown to defend, but there are still not many restrictions, because Dior itself is not a player who prefers to score points, but a midfield drive, an organizational hub, and coping ability Excellence is what management values.

It's only the end of August, and the real training camp for the new season is early September. Larry Brown is also very pleased with the performance of the players. Most of the players have arrived. Although most of them are role players and team leaders, this year's two rookies The training is also very hard, and Mr. Jordan also revealed to Larry Brown that if Lin Xiao performs well and his talents can be played, then the team will be built with Lin Xiao as the core in the future.By the way, I mentioned Lin Xiao's playing time guarantee. After all, the market behind the Chinese can make Mr. Jordan a lot of money.

"Come here." Brown, who was standing aside, clapped his hands and said.

"Rookies, boys, let me introduce myself. I'm Larry Brown, your head coach." With silver-white hair, he ranks among the top coaches in the NBA, but his coaching is a little rigid, and he likes to be ruthless.But it is undeniable that he is an extremely good coach.

"Gerald Wallace, you should standardize your movements more, which will benefit your career and reduce physical collisions, especially when attacking. Being tough on defense doesn't mean you have to fight physically, but don't be afraid of your body. Confrontation, you all know this, Lin Xiao, your shooting is very good, and your anti-interference ability is also very strong, you need to increase your coping ability, Dior, you don’t need to say more, just need to form a tacit understanding, you are a very good player It’s a puzzle, but you need to train hard, I don’t want to see your figure out of shape every time! Maybe you should be given an incentive payment, I don’t know if the team will agree.”

"Okay, I'm very relieved that you are doing this. It's not time for training camp yet. You must pay attention to rest during training. I don't want to have injuries before the preseason training, and those players who want to get contracts , your hard work, and your desire to play, I can see it, but! You have to grasp the opportunity yourself!"

　Thanks for the great reward.
