Chapter 357 How should the Hornets play next season?
As a time traveler himself, with a system and such a heaven-defying physical fitness, it is indeed not difficult for Li Ran to compete in the NBA.

This can be seen from the various honors he won during his years in the league.

Therefore, Li Ran's interest gradually changed from winning honors to building his ideal team.

After unexpectedly becoming the head coach of the Hornets at the age of 25 this season, Li Ran had an idea.

The Grizzlies are the wall of sighs he built, and they are the strongest defensive team that has almost won the entire NBA.

As for the Hornets, he plans to build it into the most organized and smoothest team in league history.

Of course, just as the Grizzlies have a defensive black hole like Curry, the Hornets also have an indispensable player who has nothing to do with the organization.

That's Klay Thompson.

For Buddha, all he needs to do is to score and defend well, and the organization is left to others.

He's the Hornets' top priority finisher next season.

Catching, shooting and scoring are all his tasks on the offensive end.

As for why Li Ran is so confident, I can tell you the names of the Hornets.

Nikola Jokic, Draymond Green, Boris Diaw, and a few other names that Li Ran is not convenient to disclose for the time being.

Two days later, after the physical examination, the Hornets announced another transaction message to the outside world.

They used a two-year contract of 1000 million to sign Lakers center Yao Ming.

Next season, the Hornets will undoubtedly become the home team of all Huaxia fans.

Yao Ming, Ah Lian and Li Ran are in the same team, so it goes without saying what that means.

It's just that the Huaxia fans were slightly unhappy about Li Ran's arrangement with Yao Ming.

Li Ran has revealed to the media that Yao Ming will be the main substitute for the team next season.

Since Dayao entered the league as the No. 02 pick in [-], when did he play as a substitute?

However, Yao Ming was happy with Li Ran's arrangements. He took the initiative to tell the media that he fully accepted all of Li Ran's arrangements.

After all, he is old and his height and weight are on the table. If Yao Ming is allowed to play more than 30 minutes in each game, he can't bear it himself.

In this way, Li Ran has found teachers for all the young players in his team.

Yao Ming is responsible for one-on-one education of Jokic, Pierce is responsible for teaching Butler, and Dior is responsible for chasing dreams.

As for Clay. . .

In terms of 3D ability, is there a better player in the world than Li Ran?
In this way, the Hornets' lineup for next season will initially take shape.

Of course, this is Li Ran's own opinion.

Because from the perspective of the outside world, the Hornets' lineup still has a fatal flaw.

Let's take a look at the Hornets' current lineup.

Centers: Nikola Jokic, Yao Ming, JaVale McGee.

Power forward: Draymond Green, Yi Jianlian, Tobias Harris, Boris Diaw.

Small forwards: Jimmy Butler, Paul Pierce.

Shooting guard: Klay Thompson.

Point guards: Eric Bledsoe, Spencer Dinwiddie, Isiah Thomas.

(When I was looking for this season's free agent list, I was always looking for which team Blood Cloth is now, and then I found out after turning N chapters forward that MMP Blood Cloth is in the Hornets lineup... What a fool I am batch, really)

Anyone who is not blind can see that the Hornets' lineup is typically top-heavy.

Among the 13-man roster, there are a full nine strikers, only a pitiful four defenders, and Clay has no substitutes at all.

So what should the organization of the team do next season?
Can the young Dinwiddie, the bloody cloth with a flawed height and Thomas Jr. be able to support the team's organizational tasks?
However, Li Ran is not in a hurry at all, and has even told Cole in private that the Hornets' offseason deal is basically over, and there is only one last deal left.

Cole said he couldn't understand it, but since it was Li Ran, it made sense.

From his debut to the present, Li Ran's choice is not unexpected, but the effect is very good.

Whether it's the Diggers who took the FMVP and left or a series of operations in the Grizzlies, he has gained a lot.

The Hornets assembled very early in the offseason this season because there are too many young players in the team who need training.

At the same time, Li Ran was also looking for the answer to the last deal.

Seeing Jokic for the second time, Li Ran's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, the human pork belly essence kept his promise.

In other words, under the supervision of his two elder brothers, he completed his task perfectly.

Jokic has now dropped from 300 pounds to just under 280 pounds.

For him, this weight is already qualified.

After all, he doesn't rely on his physical fitness for a living.

Looking at Jokic, who was being scolded by Yao Ming on the inside, Li Ran smiled and said nothing.

With Yao Ming as your teacher, you can have fun secretly.

Yao Ming also knows that the Hornets are likely to be the last stop of his career, and he is also very concerned about teaching Jokic.

He left all his steps and inside skills to him, down to the smallest detail.

As for the rest, leave it to Jokic himself.

Anyway, with the understanding of the teacher, the rest is just a matter of time.

Li Ran's last deal had only one goal.

The Windy Rose who was ill-fated in Chicago, his best brother, Derrick Rose.

The year before Li Ran disappeared, Rose tore his meniscus in the Eastern Conference finals and was reimbursed for the season.

After returning in the second year, he was reimbursed for another season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

This year, Rose only played 10 games for the Bulls, and averaged only about 16 points per game.

The core of the Bulls has actually become the expressionless robot.

Kaka played extremely well last year, almost single-handedly bringing the Bulls into the playoffs, but lost to the champion Heat in the first round.

But now, Rose is recuperating from his injuries, and he can't even pass the physical examination, so the transaction is naturally out of the question.

During the training camp during the offseason, Li Ran urged the players to train, and at the same time instilled in the players the team's style of play for the next season.

It's just that not only the Hornets players couldn't understand the tactical system Li Ranxuan came up with, but even the well-informed Cole said he had never seen it before.

Have you ever seen a center and a power forward deal the cards at the top of the arc, and three backcourt players scrambling inside and outside the three-point line?

This is basically the tactical prototype of the Hornets next season.

But there is no way, Li Ran is now the boss of the Hornets, on and off the court, from top to bottom, he is the boss.

That can only listen to him.

Even Cole feels that the Hornets' record next season will not be very good, and has even begun to regret the first-round pick sent by the team when Pierce was traded.

Before the start of the season, Li Ran signed his name on a contract, and the Hornets also submitted their 14-man roster for the next season to the league.
