NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

Jokic did not expect that Kaleman went to call Chen Tian.

"Boss."

When Jokic saw Chen Tian coming in, he also stood up immediately.

Even a little guilty.

It's as if what happened just now has been settled.

Chen Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw Jokic like this.

"What are you thinking, kid? I don't know about it. Do you think the coach will tell you?"

As he spoke, Chen Tian patted Jokic on the head.

Immediately, Jokic shook his head and looked at Chen Tian.

"Boss, what do you mean, this matter was discussed by you a long time ago?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian and the others all nodded.

At this moment, Jokic understood, and it turned out that he was the only one who didn't know.

"Why, boss? You are the most correct as the core."

Chen Tian shook his head when he heard this.

"Because it will hinder your development!"

"The matchup in the fifth game of the finals showed us the impact you have as a core point!"

"That's why we decided to change the team's tactics with you as the core."

Jokic was very moved when he heard this.

You must know that it is the core of a team's tactics.

It can be said that after a game, he is the most critical player.

The most important thing is that the boss of the team is willing to give up his position as the core of tactics.

This is a situation that is difficult to appear at any time in the NBA.

But Chen Tian did this.

This moved Jokic very much, he knew that Chen Tian was all for him.

He also understands his ability, if the ball is not in his hands, his power will be greatly reduced.

So this is why the boss made him the core of the team's tactics.

Thinking of this, Jokic's eyes turned red.

Chen Tian shouted immediately when he saw Jokic like this.

"Hold it back for me, it's like a big deal, hurry up and get ready for training!"

"The new season is about to start in one month, and we have to get familiar with the current tactics."

After speaking, Chen Tian turned around and left the office.

After Chen Tian went out, Monty and Kaleman also burst into laughter.

Even Jokic on one side laughed.

Soon the three of Monty also came out.

Monty walked onto the court and clapped his hands.

Everyone gathered together immediately.

"It seems that our newcomers have already integrated in!"

As soon as these words came out, Brunson and Robinson also smiled.

"Very well, this is the style of our Lakers!"

"We're going to start training now!"

"Brenson, Robinson, you two just joined the Lakers, now let's see what our style is like."

Brunson and Robinson also nodded.

Then the Lakers also started their training.

Kaleman is still in control of the defensive tactics.

There's nothing about the Lakers' defensive play that needs to change.

It can be said that Kaleman's defensive tactics are very good.

The main training is offensive tactics.

After starting with Jokic as the core of tactics, the Lakers also started training.

But the situation was not very good at the beginning of training.

The cooperation between Chen Tian and Jokic was very tacit, but it was very difficult for the others.

Matthew played very uncomfortable on the starting side.

And the problem on the bench side is not small.

This made Monty and Kaleman frown.

After the first day of training, I didn't gain much.

Without Anthony, the team's offense is also greatly reduced.

The next two days of training did not yield very good results.

This made Monty also ready to change his formation.

"No way, the starting line-up hasn't run in well yet, and there's a problem with the substitute side!"

"I think we should change our tactics."

Monty also told Kaleman.

Kaleman on the side also nodded.

"How about letting Yi Jianlian and Matthew play as substitutes?"

"This strengthens the passing and interior of the bench!"

"And maybe the starting lineup will change."

As soon as Kaleman said this, Monty also began to think about it.

Monty felt that this lineup could give it a try.

Then Monty clapped his hands and brought everyone together.

"Come on, let's change the lineup, Rose and Gibson, you two start."

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

Because the training these days is really too uncomfortable.

And now this Lakers team is all old people who won the championship with Chen Tian.

No one cares about starting and substituting, they just want to make the Lakers stronger.

And because the Lakers are backed by the Clear Sky Group, many members of the team have signed big contracts.

Just like Tucker also got a 3-year 5400 million contract during the offseason.

So it would be perfect for them to just want to retire with the Lakers right now.

On the other hand, Brunson and Robinson were already shocked.

Although the team's tactical execution was not very good in the past two days, the two still saw the unity within the Lakers.

No one showed up to complain or anything.

Even when the coach said to let Matthew and the two play as substitutes, they didn't have any complaints.

What kind of team is this.

Brunson already had doubts in his heart.

After changing the starting lineup, it really is different.

Rose's breakthrough, Tucker's three-pointer and Chen Tian's omnipotence.

Jokic's organization is getting easier and easier.

And Gibson can also cooperate well with Jokic on the defensive end.

The bench is also different.

Matthew's organization liberated jr and Yi Jianlian, which raised the firepower of the bench by two levels.

Such a change made Monty on the sidelines nod.

The Lakers are training intensely, and several other teams have also started training.

After the Celtics got Griffin, the team also started training.

The cooperation between Lin Sen and Griffin is also quite tacit.

This made Stevens very excited.

Teams such as the Spurs, Rockets, Pelicans, Warriors, and 76ers have also started training.

They are destined to do something big in the new season.

In the following time, the Lakers' tactical run-in became better and better.

Monty looked at the players on the field and couldn't help saying with emotion.

"If Anthony returns, the team will definitely go to the next level."

Monty's words were also approved by Kaleman.

After Jokic became the core, Chen Tian was really liberated.

After playing a training game for about 20 minutes, Chen Tian scored 37 points by himself.

After the training, jr couldn't help but said while sitting on the ground.

"Fuck, I just realized now that we are more and more dragging down the boss. This attack is really too fierce."

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

To say that the ones who are most excited now are naturally Chen Tian and Jokic.

Jokic likes to organize offenses very much, and Chen Tian also likes to score very much.

This time the two hit it off, and Jokic can feel his double performance on the field in assists in the future.

The tactics of the Lakers have succeeded, which also makes them look forward to the start of the new season.

And just when the preseason is about to start.

Kobe also let Chen Tian and others come to his office.

"I want to start the first game of the regular season and have a ceremony."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Tian and the others were also a little puzzled.

"What kind of ceremony? You know, there will be a championship ring ceremony that day."

Johnson on the side also said.

"I'm going to let all the Lakers retired jersey players come to the new arena and retire their jerseys to the sky above the Clear Sky Arena."

When Kobe said this, Chen Tian and the others also nodded.

"This should indeed be there, but the only ones who can be invited are these people who are still alive."

Chen Tian on the side also said.

As soon as these words came out, several people nodded.

The last few people also agreed with this plan, and Kobe's jersey retirement ceremony is also ready for Christmas.

Then Kobe is going to contact these players who have retired their jerseys.

Among them, people like Goodrich and Worthy don't know whether they want to come or not.

Worthy is okay, Goodrich and Wilkes are not young, so they have to be prepared for everything when they come here.

Finally, the long-awaited, nba 2018-19 season preseason is about to start.

But the Lakers did not have the Central Plains game this time, so the schedule is still very easy.

Chen Tian didn't choose to play in the preseason, but just watched his teammate's performance from the sidelines.

But in the preseason game, Brunson didn't play very well.

Whether it is the overall situation or his own shots, the efficiency is not very high.

This made Monty wonder whether Chen Tian had misread it.

But Chen Tian saw a different situation, he saw the unwilling expression in Brunson's eyes.

The exact opposite of Brunson is Robinson.

Robinson played and was able to complete the coach's arrangements very well, which made Monty very satisfied.

In fact, the biggest difference between inside players and outside players is shooting.

As long as the inside center grabs rebounds well, they will not lack points.

Just like Jordan, he has a fart shot, but he can still score 20 or 30 points because he rebounds well.

And outside players can't do it. With Brunson's height, it's useless if he doesn't shoot the ball on the court.

Because he doesn't have Rondo's organizational skills.

After the first preseason game, Brunson slept directly in the training hall.

Fortunately, Chen Tian had the foresight to build a rest room on the side of the training hall when the arena was being built.

Chen Tian knew that brother Lizhi would appear soon.

In the next few preseason games, Brunson played better from game to game.

It's not that good, but it can be seen that he has improved.

This made Monty sure that Chen Tian still didn't miss him, this guy would definitely become a blockbuster.

Monty also likes such players, so he is also willing to give such players more opportunities.

In several preseason games, the Lakers won and lost.

But everyone is indifferent to such a game.

It's not an important game.

Soon on October 10, the Lakers' first regular season game will also start.
