269: Coaches and Role Players(2/3)
What if you just show off? What if you just pretend?
Just don't practice defense and win the DER championship.
No matter how the NBA rules are revised, it is impossible for a team without defense to win the championship.
It's okay for D'Antoni to join the team as an offensive coach, but as head coach, he is really too biased.
Like Li Ang, he must develop all-round development in boxing, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling before he can win the NBA Finals MVP.
"However, I am still looking for other candidates. If there is any news, I will contact you immediately."
Seeing that Liang didn't seem to be interested in D'Antoni, Colangelo quickly added.
Last night, Colangelo actually talked to O'Neal about coaching.
O'Neal wants nothing more than the Smiling Assassin.
But Colangelo knows very well that the Smiling Assassin is really not a good coach.
Moreover, I have already invited one of your fathers to join the team, so that's almost it.
Is it possible that you still want to have two dads at the same time?
As for Nash, the Canadian said from beginning to end: "I can do it~"
That attitude is called humble.
So, after discussions and discussions, Colangelo could only discuss with Li Ang.
However, in addition to the head coach, there are also some equally important things at present. Colangelo may be able to ask Li Ang for his opinion.
Before he could ask, Li Ang spoke first: "By the way, our team should still be short of people, right? I have a guy who is easy to use and not expensive. You can try to get in touch with him."
Li Ang smiled mysteriously. This was the first time in his career that Li Ang could put forward some of his own opinions when recruiting teammates.
In the past, with the Raptors and Pistons, it was not Li Ang's turn to intervene in signing matters.
Now that I have this opportunity, of course I have to make full use of my advantages as a time traveler.
Although Li Ang does not remember every bead in every period, at least this year, Li Ang really remembers one person.
This guy is not a superstar, but he is ruthless and tough enough, and he is willing to come off the bench and do some dirty work.
"Who?" Colangelo asked curiously, wondering if Li Ang would say a Chinese name.
Although I know you are the leader of Chinese basketball, you don’t promote it like this.
As a result, what Li Ang mentioned was not the name of the Chinese player.
It's just this name that makes Colangelo feel a little unfamiliar even as a professional basketball player.
One day later, Miami, Florida.
A muscular black player was sweating in a simple training hall. His trainer smashed the ball to the floor over and over again, causing the ball to bounce high. Then, the black player would be blocked by several trainers.
down, desperately trying to fight for the free-falling basketball.
Today, the young man looks particularly energetic.
Because just 12 hours ago, he unexpectedly got an opportunity.
A chance to realize your dream.
At this time, Thorpe, the black boy's manager, hurried into the training hall and clapped his hands.
"Pause, pause, Udunis, get ready, they are coming!"
The young man named Udonis stopped fighting, panting heavily, and stared at the door.
Brian Colangelo walked in and looked up and down at the sweaty players.
"Hello Udonis, I'm Brian, the general manager of the Phoenix Suns."
"Hello sir!" Udonis Haslem swallowed, he must seize this opportunity!
In the 2002 NBA draft, Haslem, who was 2.03 meters tall but weighed a full 140 kilograms, was not selected in the draft without any suspense.
What is the concept of 140 kilograms? After gaining weight, Yao Ming was almost this heavy. In the future, the fat tiger who lost weight, Zion, who Barkley dubbed "the child of O'Neal and I", was only this heavy when he was the heaviest
Heavy.
After losing the draft, Haslem briefly played in the summer league before being waived.
Then he went to France and played in the French league for one season, but he didn't learn French military etiquette there.
He just refuses to accept his fate and surrender!
Therefore, this summer he rushed back to Ugly Country, training like crazy, waiting for the call from the NBA team.
Haslem had already played several summer league games for his hometown team, the Heat, but his performance was not satisfactory.
Although the Heat said they appreciate Haslem's spirit, they still haven't given him a contract.
It seems that the Heat will wait until there is no one left to sign before they consider replacing Haslem.
Haslem can only wait quietly for this fate to come.
After all, in the NBA, except for his hometown team, the Heat, almost no team knows that there is a player like him.
Until yesterday, he suddenly received a call from Colangelo.
He couldn't believe that Colangelo, who was far away in Arizona, had heard of his story!
Colangelo: Actually, I don’t want to come, but Li Ang has just come to the team, so I have to give him face, right?
Colangelo didn't have any expectations for Haslem. After seeing Haslem in person, Colangelo was even more convinced of this idea.
"How tall are you?"
"2.06 meters, sir."
"to be honest."
"Uh...2 meters 03."
2.03 meters is too short for an insider.
After all, not everyone is a genius.
Speaking of Big Ben, Colangelo discovered that there were many posters of Big Ben posted in this dilapidated training hall.
There is also a line written on one of the posters: Fight hard, speed, chase, tough, like Ben Wallace!
Colangelo seemed to know instantly why Li Ang liked this guy.
"Hey, they're all here. Oops, why are the toilets in this training center so far away?"
Li Ang's voice came from the door of the training hall.
Haslem's eyes widened, Li Ang is here too!
Leon doesn't want to come, he still wants to travel with Carolina!
However, the lineup and coaching matters were not properly arranged, and Li Ang felt uneasy about playing.
Next season, Li Ang's goal is to defend his title.
How could it be so easy to defend a title?
Therefore, he felt that he had to do something good for the team.
"Hello, Udonis, let me go. They are all big posters. Senior brother, if you know he has such a fanatical fan, he may be able to brag about it for half a year." Leon looked around and walked to Haslem.
The moment the two stood together, Colangelo was stunned.
"How tall are you, Li Ang?"
"Me? 2.06 meters." Li Ang answered without hesitation, as if he was telling the truth.
Colangelo looked at Haslem, then at Leon...
There is no difference between you two!
How did the difference of three centimeters come out?
"What's wrong?"
"Uh...it's nothing." Colangelo didn't want to reveal the secret on the spot.
Li Ang looked at Haslem again, as if he understood something instantly, so he deliberately asked: "What a coincidence, you are also 2.06 meters tall?"
"Uh...yes, I'm also 2.06 meters tall, hehe."
At this time, Li Ang really wanted to make a joke about his height: Ben is 2.12 meters tall.
"Okay, let's grab rebounds!" Li Ang stretched his muscles and said from Haslem.
As soon as he heard "rebound," Haslem quickly became focused.
Needless to say, everyone knows that the Suns want to see his strength.
The trainer glanced at Li Ang, who nodded at him.
Then, he hit the ball hard against the floor and the basketball bounced high!
