Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

Li Ang sat on the plane flying to Phoenix, saying goodbye to his teammates in Detroit and heading towards a new starting point.

This morning, all members of the Pistons Five went to the airport to see off Li Ang.

This was the first time that Li Ang felt that he would be so reluctant to say goodbye to men.

But that's how professional basketball is. Those who don't change teams are only a small group of people after all.

At least Li Ang didn't leave any regrets in the Pistons. He did everything he had to do and sat down.

Now, it's time to move towards new goals!

Arrive at Phoenix, a city in the center of the desert. As soon as Li Ang got off the plane, he was warmly welcomed by the local media and fans.

Fans cheered wildly outside the wall built by security personnel. For Phoenix fans, they are undoubtedly the happiest group of people this summer.

FMVP came to the Suns by air, and the Suns did not pay any player for it.

How many people dare not even think about such a thing.

Some fans even held up banners with the Chinese characters "Welcome Li Ang to Phoenix" written on them.

It can be said that it is quite attentive.

Li Ang then walked to the edge and signed autographs for the fans.

Good guy, the screams at the scene almost lifted the roof of the airport.

Fortunately, Lao Ma is no longer here, otherwise he would have died of soreness on the spot.

They both played in Phoenix, so why is there such a huge gap in popularity?

While signing, Li Ang found a few female fans with half of their faces exposed and yelled: "Li Ang, sign here, sign here!"

"Uh" Li Ang was stunned at that time. The female fans here are so passionate.

However, Li Ang just smiled at the female fans and did not actually sign it.

Who do you think I am? ?

I play basketball, not practice calligraphy! It's so soft, how can I write on it?

You should raise your butts!

Li Ang continued to sign autographs for fans while walking, and then met several more people holding boxing gloves to sign autographs for Li Ang.

This is a true fan!

They all know that Li Ang's fist can solve all problems.

No serious person can watch Li Ang play basketball.

It’s like, if you are reading online novels, who is reading the text?

Li Ang happily signed the boxing gloves for the fans, then walked out of the airport to warm cheers and was surrounded by reporters.

So, don’t look at it, the big villain Li Ang usually gets hacked quite miserably.

But once you really have him, everyone will feel so good immediately!

"Lee, how does it feel to come to Phoenix?"

"I like the sunshine here and the fans who are as enthusiastic as the sun." Li Ang smiled at the reporter's camera without any pretense.

"A new starting point, a new goal. After winning the championship last season, what is your goal for next season?"

"Defending the title."

"Ah?" The reporter was confused. You have come to Phoenix City, why are you here defending your title?

"What? Defending FMVP is not defending the title?" Li Ang smiled, and then got into a car waiting at the airport gate. Cadillac?

It’s not appropriate to do maintenance as soon as you arrive, right?

After getting in the car, Colangelo smiled and shook hands with Li Ang.

"Welcome to Arizona, I won't introduce myself too much. Meet this, our chief team physician, Dr. Thomas Carter."

After Colangelo finished speaking, a friendly-looking white man next to him shook hands with Leon.

Li Ang was speechless. This is probably the characteristic of the Suns.

When you go to other teams, the first people you usually meet are the general manager and head coach, or the general manager and owner.

Damn it would be a good idea for the Suns to just bring the chief team doctor out to see people.

There was no way, after all, the Sun Miracle Doctor was the famous Liu Bi. Their medical team is shared with NASA.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the highest medical skills and technologies in the United States are gathered in this medical team.

So the Suns team doctors are not just sports medicine doctors, they can take care of any incurable diseases you have.

This is why no one in the Suns can use this thing, otherwise the Suns' medical team can even show off some of their breakthroughs in the field of regaining their glory.

Even those who don’t have one, they can make you high and hard.

And Thomas Carter is the technician with the best skills in this medical team, and everyone who orders him says he is good.

"Lee, when you get to the Suns, just play with peace of mind. We will protect your health throughout the entire process!"

Li Ang laughed awkwardly the whole time. Why the hell did he feel like he was hospitalized?

Sure enough, the first stop Colangelo took Li Ang to visit was the Suns' rehabilitation center.

Here are the world's top medical equipment.

This has to be thanked for Aaron Nelson, another god of the Sun Medical Group besides Thomas Carter.

As the team's chief rehabilitation trainer, he deducts some money from the Suns owners every year to upgrade the team's various medical equipment.

No, he didn't let the new boss off either. He just deducted hundreds of thousands just a few days ago.

Thomas Carter and Aaron Nelson, the two mysterious elders, are the soul of this medical team.

Li Ang looked at these instruments. Don't tell me, although he has played in the NBA for four seasons, this is the first time for Li Ang to see many machines.

There are a lot of things that other teams really don’t have.

Also, if a boss like Davidson only buys three bottles of champagne, can you expect him to spend tens or even millions on upgrading medical equipment?

There is everything in the dream.

From this point of view, O'Neal, who died due to injuries in the original history, may be able to change his destiny here.

However, despite being advanced, Li Ang still hopes that he will never have to use these things in his life.

After finishing the rehabilitation center at the restaurant, Colangelo took Leon to lunch and also talked about the head coach selection.

As the core of the team, Li Ang definitely has some say.

However, there are currently not many coaches to choose from. The most likely one is Mike D'Antoni, who was an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers last season.

It is basically difficult to poach other people.

Jackson originally wanted to leave after losing in the finals last season, but the damn Lakers launched an F4, so Jackson wanted to stay and see what sparks he could create with these superstars.

After Malone left, many people originally thought that Coach Sloan would retire or find another job.

However, Coach Sloan is truly a Jazz man and Jazz soul. He would rather rebuild with the Jazz than go anywhere else.

Nelson's reason is similar to that of Zen Master. The Mavericks have such a luxurious lineup, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.

As a mad scientist, Nelson was so happy to have so much experimental material.

Therefore, Colangelo's poaching plan did not go smoothly.

Li Ang didn't want the sun to fall into Mustache's hands again.

It's not that Li Ang has any prejudice against Mustache. Mustache's offense is undoubtedly strong, and he is also the only person in the world who holds Nash's instruction manual. Moreover, if D'Antoni coaches you, your personal data will definitely skyrocket.

Averaging more than 20 points per game is just like playing.

Although Mustache has many advantages, he is really not a championship coach, you know.

Mustache can only cook one dish. If all the ingredients match his recipe, he can make a good dish and become a top chef.

Otherwise he is nothing.

Moreover, the food this guy cooks has a very strong taste. He likes to add more spice and make the scene extremely hot.

But the disadvantage is that this dish can't taste anything except spicy. It's only offense and no defense.

To say that D'Antoni has no defense does not mean that he does not pay attention to defense or is not good at coaching defense.

This guy simply chose to give up defense!

In the original history, Stoudemire said something shocking after he moved to the Knicks: "I have never been taught how to defend in my entire career, so now I have someone like this who teaches me how to defend. A head coach who knows how to adjust his positioning and defensive strategies when faced with different styles of play is very helpful to me.”

That's right, when D'Antoni coached the Suns, he didn't practice defense at all!

D'Antoni: Don't talk to me about zone defense, switching defenses, helping to defend this and that. I have one purpose, do it within 7 seconds of getting the ball!

What if you just show up? Why don't you just pretend?

Just don't practice defense and win the 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 Finals MVP in the NBA.

"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 doesn't want anything else but 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 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, in the Raptors and Pistons, it was not Li Ang's turn to intervene in matters related to signings.

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 to willingly come off the bench and do some of the 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, I don’t promote it like this.

As a result, what Li Ang said was not the name of the Chinese player.

It's just this name that makes Colangelo feel a little unfamiliar 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 will fight desperately for the free-falling basketball, blocked by several trainers.

Today, the young man looked particularly energetic.

Because just 12 hours ago, he unexpectedly got an opportunity.

A chance to live 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 Udunis stopped fighting, breathing heavily, and stared at the door.

Brian Colangelo walked in and looked up and down at the sweating 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 is almost as heavy. The fat tiger who would lose weight in the future, Zion, who Barkley nicknamed "the child of O'Neal and me," was only this heavy at his heaviest.

After going undrafted, Haslem briefly played in summer league before being waived.

Then he went to France and played in the French league for a 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 ideal.

Although the Heat said they appreciate Haslem's spirit, they have not given him a contract so far.

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 the hometown team Heat, almost no team knows that there is a person 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 joined 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: hard work, speed, pursuit, toughness, 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!

But the lineup and coach's affairs were not properly arranged, and Li Ang felt uneasy.

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, Udunis, I'll go. They're all big posters. Senior brother, if you know he has such a fanatical fan, he might be able to boast for half a year." Leon looked around and walked up 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 meant it.

Colangelo looked at Haslem and then at Leon

There is no difference between you two at all!

How did that three centimeters differ?

"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 wanted to make a joke about his height: Ben was 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.

It goes without saying that the Suns want to see what he is capable of.

The trainer glanced at Li Ang, and Li Ang nodded at him.

Then, he hit the ball hard against the floor and the basketball bounced high!

In an instant, Haslem and Leon were stuck together.

Haslem moved very hard, trying hard to push Li Ang away, and put an elbow on Li Ang's waist.

It's not a boast, but Haslem's blocking action, if he were a man with a crazy mentality, he could accidentally break the corner of his eyebrow with an elbow.

But Li Ang naturally wouldn't take it seriously. After the basketball fell, Li Ang raised his butt and got stuck in position, preparing to jump up and grab the board.

Unexpectedly, Haslem knocked Li Ang away with force, and knocked out the position where Li Ang was stuck!

In a normal game, this would definitely be a foul.

But the trainer didn't brag, and continued to watch the two 2.06-meter giant men fighting each other.

After being knocked away, Li Ang used his jumping ability to click the basketball before Haslem.

The basketball flew forward, and Li Ang and Haslem also ran in the direction of the ball at the same time.

Then, there was a loud "dong" sound, and the two of them bumped into each other!

Haslem seemed to have been hit by a high-speed car. He flew four or five meters away and fell heavily to the ground!

Because Haslem was not used to the food there in France, he lost 45 pounds in a year. When he came back, her mother almost didn't recognize him.

So Haslem is relatively thin now, and his body has not fully adjusted yet, so he cannot withstand such a collision from Li Ang.

Haslem was knocked out of the court by Li Ang, and Li Ang easily won the basketball.

Everyone looked at Haslem, fearing that the poor guy might break a rib or two.

As a result, Haslem gritted his teeth, immediately got up, stared at Li Ang, and walked to him: "Come again!"

Faced with Haslem's expression as if he wanted to eat someone, Leon just turned his head to look at Colangelo and smiled: "That's why I like this kid, he has the guts."

Colangelo shook his head. The person Li Ang was looking for was really hardcore.

Leon and Haslem's rebounding training continued. At the same time, Colangelo's phone received a text message from his assistant:

"He said he would like to meet and talk with us."

It seems that things between the head coach and the role players are starting to make progress.
