Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Looking at the people in the training hall, Yang Li knew that the challenge he faced today was quite unusual.

It can be seen from their attitude when they came in just now that they only greeted themselves out of the identity of Yang Li's boss.

There are very few people who are truly convinced of themselves.

Artest has a good relationship with Yang Lichang because he chatted with Yang Lichang during the offseason.

As soon as they came in, they took the initiative to say hello to Yang Li, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

The two fringe players, Jordan and Livingston, behaved very well.

Take the initiative to show your favor to the new head coach, maybe you can get more playing time.

Others are not so easy to talk about.

Especially Chris Kaman, the best center of the 03 golden generation, his time in the Clippers may be longer than everyone in the training hall.

You can let him serve the new boss, but you let him serve a head coach in his early 20s?

That is absolutely impossible.

Under his influence, Millsap, Richardson, Thornton, and Lowry all intentionally or unintentionally disrespect Yang Li as the head coach.

Ke Lu was a taciturn and nice old man, but he wasn't as obvious as he made it out to be.

beep~~~

Atkinson blew his whistle.

"Everyone gather here!"

Udoka stood next to Atkinson, scanning them gravely.

On the contrary, Yang Li sat on the chair with a calm look.

After everyone stood up, Yang Li stood up calmly.

"Today is the first time for our Clippers to practice together. Since we are not very familiar with each other, let's start with an internal game."

Yang Li walked to the other side of Atkinson and Uduka while talking.

"I lead the first team, Kenny and Amy lead the first team, those who want to come to my team stand on the left, and those who want to go to the other team stand on the right."

Kaman was the first to go out and stood directly to the right.

Immediately afterwards, Millsap, Richardson, Thornton and Lowry also stood to the right.

Seeing this situation, Artest smiled contemptuously, and then stood to the left.

Jordan and Livingston followed closely behind Artest and also stood to the left.

Yang Li smiled and nodded to Artest. He had expected these people's choices.

Then he glanced at Curry and the others, wanting to see how they would choose.

Did not disappoint him, Curry, Harden, Ibaka, and Gibson all stood to the left.

Ke 6 looked at the number of people on both sides, did not speak, and automatically stood to the right.

So far, the lineups of the two teams in the intra-team competition have been determined.

Team Yang Li starts:

C Jr. Jordan pf Ibaka sf Artest sg Harden pg Curry

Subs: Gibson, Livingston

Atkinson Udoka team starters:

c carman pf millsap sf richardson sg crawford pg lowry

Substitute: Thornton

To understand it simply, it is the rookie team against the veteran team.

Yang Li called his players to his side and told them about tactics.

"Ron, I need you to defend Jamal and let James defend Richardson. I believe in your ability. You can do it even against Kobe!"

"DeAndre, your job is to protect that damn basket and drive anyone who wants to get close to it out of the penalty area!"

"Serge, the guy opposite you can get 1000 million dollars a year, go beat him and prove that you are worth the price!"

"James, go and give the opponent some color and let them know who the best shooting guard in Los Angeles will be in the future!"

"Stephen, go out and score me 30 points to prove that you can also gain a foothold in the NBA!"

"Thai,......"

Yang Li checked each individual, without any actual tactical moves.

This kind of team training game mainly depends on the individual players' on-the-spot performance, and the head coach is responsible for feeding chicken soup.

Generally speaking, whichever side is fed with more chicken soup will be able to beat better.

And Atkinson and Udoka on the opposite side are obviously also very experienced, so they directly grasped a key point and said:

Give those rookies some color and let them know that this is the nba!

beep~

Game start!

Kaman and Jordan took off at the same time.

You can say that Jordan's current strength is much worse than Kaman's, but you can't question Jordan's physical fitness.

His draft report stated:

Jordan is a very good big man with a height of 7 feet (approximately 2 meters). His athletic ability, explosive power, and jumping ability are very rare. He has great potential and can become a dominant center on both offense and defense.

Compared with Jordan's athletic ability, Kaman's ability is obviously a bit stretched.

I saw Jordan jumping high and directly gave the racket to Curry behind him.

After Curry got the ball, he advanced to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Harden, and then ran towards the baseline.

At the same time, Harden also holds the ball and prepares to break through.

Seeing Curry running towards the bottom corner, Lowry quickly chased after him.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, Lowry only felt that he had hit a wall.

As Ibaka set Curry an off-ball screen, Curry made it to the corner and was unguarded.

At this time, Harden had already got rid of Crawford's defense and headed towards the basket.

Seeing this, Millsap, who was facing Ibaka, quickly made up for it.

Harden smiled, flicked the ball, and sent the ball directly to Curry in the corner.

Curry raised the knife and shot a high three-pointer.

The five members of the veteran team could only watch the basketball fly to the basket.

Hollow into the network!

So fast shot speed!

Everyone present was shocked by Curry's shooting speed.

Seeing the tactical cooperation of the three, the eyes of the two assistant coaches Atkinson and Uduka suddenly lit up.

This tactic is an ordinary off-ball screen.

However, the two of them saw Kobe's shadow from this ball!

This is what Kobe is best at, using his personal ability to create shooting opportunities for his teammates.

It seems that Harden should have learned a lot from Kobe.

It was the veteran team's turn to serve from the bottom line, and Lowry unhurriedly held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Just now I was just an off-ball screen and didn't bypass it.

Millsap has come to the weak side at this moment, firmly stuck Ibaka behind him, and raised his right hand high to ask Lowry for the ball.

Lowry understood, tossed the ball lightly, and gave it to Millsap.

After Millsap received the ball, he dribbled with his back and gave Ibaka a head.

The moment Ibaka shifted his center of gravity back, Millsap suddenly turned over and shot a jumper.

Ibaka hurriedly stepped forward to block, but still failed to stop Millsap's shot.

Two points scored!

Millsap stepped back with his shooting right hand, smiled at Ibaka and said:

"Welcome totothenba!"
