Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 86

In Memphis in January, although the temperature is not high, the lowest temperature is only a few degrees below zero, which is generally quite comfortable.

I still choose to go to the training hall by running. I practice Tai Chi at home every morning before going to the arena. The time is later than before.

On the way to the training hall in the morning, I saw pedestrians on the road.

"Li, are you Li from the Grizzlies?" A black guy shouted at Li Tian after seeing him.

"Hi, I'm Li from the Grizzlies. Nice to meet you." He also smiled when he saw a fan recognize him.

"Can you sign me? I like you very much. I heard that you run to the training hall every day. I have nothing to do today. I am going to come here to try my luck and see if I can meet you. I am so lucky. It made me meet you." The fans were very happy, they came here for the first time, tried it out, and met Li Tian.

"So that's how it is. You are indeed very lucky. I hope your good luck will also bring me good luck." I am also very happy to be loved by the fans.

"Li, I brought your jersey on purpose, can you sign it for me?" The guy took out the jersey and signing pen that he had already prepared.

"Haha, dear friend, you came here prepared, so why refuse your request?" Li Tian took the jersey and signed his name for him.

Returning the jersey to the fans, "Thank you for loving me, do you need a photo?" After signing, he offered to take a photo.

"Is it really possible? I'm so happy." The two took a group photo.

After the group photo was over, Li Tian continued to run to the arena.

"Li, today we must beat James fat and win this game." The black guy clenched his fists and cheered for Li Tian. "I'll wear your autographed jersey at night and go to the arena to watch the game."

"Thank you, your good luck will also bring me good luck, we will definitely win this game." Li Tian responded to the fan.

Come to the arena.

Started a day of training.

It was decided yesterday that I will not add some new skills to training, because it takes a lot of time to explore new skills, and the effect is not necessarily good.

In the Grizzlies, there is no coach who can guide him. Guy, who is in the same position as himself among his teammates, is not as good as him now. He has offensive ability, but it is not outstanding. Forget it on defense, he is not as good as himself. .

There is some overlap between Gasol and his own position, but the development direction of the two is somewhat different. We can only refer to Gasol's skills, but we cannot apply them mechanically to ourselves.

I have been training at noon, and Mark arranged some tactical training in the afternoon.

Mark's tactical training is very simple, that is, the outside line is slammed, and then the inside line is scrambled. There is no effective strategy at all, and the ability to adapt to the situation is also very poor.

The teaching of the players is even worse. Neither Gay nor Conley, nor even Lowry, has been trained, and Conley has been sitting on the bench since the start of the game.

……

The time came to 8:00 in the evening, and the players of the two teams began to warm up and train.

Looking at the record of the Cavaliers this year, it is not at all like a team that participated in the Finals last year.

The Cleveland Cavaliers last season really made all fans shine.

Especially Cleveland fans, they all hope that James can bring Cleveland a championship, and the same is true for James. When he joined the league, he took it as his duty to bring Cleveland a championship.

Hopeful fans before the finals.

After four games, all fans are unwilling to believe that such a powerful Cavaliers, coupled with the extremely powerful James, did not even bring the team a victory.

After the finals, Duncan left a classic saying "The future belongs to you!"

This sentence has deceived James for many years. It was not until the formation of the Big Three that James was able to touch the championship ring. When the morale of the Big Three was high, he wanted to build a dynasty and was educated by Duncan.

The establishment of the dynasty failed, and the Big Three disintegrated.

Looking at the current Cavaliers team, only James can still catch the eye. Big Z is also very strong now, which is half of the team. Looking at the other players, they are all rookies who have not entered the NBA for a few years.

"I really feel sorry for James. If there were one or two strong assistants, let alone whether he could win the championship last season, but he definitely wouldn't lose four games in a row."

During the warm-up, Li Tian also saw James for the first time. He had never seen James before. This was the first time the Grizzlies and Cavaliers played against each other.

Looking at James' dunks, it is really violent aesthetics. Now James has not developed too many skills. Many of them rely on his strong physical fitness to hit the basket. Many teams' insiders have been attacked by James.

"How about Li, looking at James, are you scared?" Gasol came to Li Tian after making a mid-range shot. He knew the conflict between Li Tian and James.

"Hehe, there's nothing to be afraid of. Don't worry at all. I'm just a substitute. What are you worried about?" Li Tian was also a bachelor, so he didn't worry at all.

If it was me some time ago, I would still be a little worried. James in this period is not the tonnage of James in the later period. There is still a chance to combine strength and Tai Chi.

"bump!"

There was a powerful dunk.

The sound was loud, and Gay saw James' dunk, his hand trembled unconsciously, and he made a three-point shot.

"Lee, now you still think you are a substitute, won't you match up with James? Look at our team's small forward." Gasol just told him that Gay is not worthy of being the team's starter.

"Uh, why don't you do it? How about Paul." Li Tian looked at Gasol playfully.

"Fuck, I'm not going to push him up. With his weight, he looks strong. Besides, I'm a power forward and he's a small forward. You can't bully him because of your height." Gasol is shameless enough.

Gasol patted Li Tian on the shoulder, as if to say, "James' defense depends on you."

James has brought a great impact to Li Tian. Compared with James, the current self has a world of difference in status.

The other party's position in the knight is definitely the 'emperor', otherwise he would not be let down by the knight.

As for himself, he didn't even have a stable playing time, and he was often suspended by the Mark team at every turn.

During the draft, because of James' words, Li Tian almost missed the chance to enter the NBA. He needed to start in the summer league. Fortunately, the Grizzlies chose him.

……

Back in the locker room, Mark emphasized again that he must abide by the tactics he arranged for the game.

"Gay, your task is the heaviest today. You must limit James and try to keep him out of the three-point line; if James breaks through Gay, Paul and Milicic must do a good job in defense at the basket. Keep James out of the penalty area, and the outside players can follow our previous arrangement." Mark felt that as long as James was restricted, there would be no problem in this game.

What Mark didn't know was that the Grizzlies' starters were tied together, and it was not so easy to limit James.

Gasol didn't say anything, "Assist defense is definitely needed, but he doesn't agree with this defensive arrangement. The best way is for one player to defend James closely, and other players to guard other Cavaliers players, and let James alone defeat If I lose, I can only admit it. James played very tired this season, which exhausted James' physical strength infinitely, so the Grizzlies have a chance, and the other players in the Cavaliers are average."

The Grizzlies can use the bench to beat the Cavaliers.
