Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

When meeting a new colleague for the first time, Li Ang naturally wanted to show off his energy as a leader.

It's a pity that Li Ang is a male leader. If Li Ang were a female boss, he would have to get them drunk and conquer them one by one.

Anyway, this is how Li Ang acted in Japanese movies.

However, male leaders also have their own ways of dealing with others. Li Ang does not need to conquer, he just needs to convince others.

Li Ang is quite experienced in persuading people with virtue.

Driving his Ferrari, which had two ex-girlfriends as co-driver, Li Ang drove towards the Clippers' new training facility.

That's right, not to the Staples Center, but to a training facility on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Because the Lakers and Clippers share the same home court, it is naturally impossible for the two teams to huddle together for training.

In fact, even the Lakers don't practice at Staples most days. The Staples Center is so popular. It hosts concerts, boxing matches, WNBA, WWE, and ice hockey games.

There's no way the Lakers can hold it there for long.

Both teams will only go to Staples Center to train when they get used to the venue.

In the past, in Phoenix City, once Li Ang's Ferrari appeared on the street, it would definitely attract bursts of cheers.

But now in Los Angeles, when Li Ang's Ferrari appears on the street, not many people look at it.

Because there are too many Ferraris running on the streets of Los Angeles.

Of course, not everyone recognized that the driver was Li Ang.

But even if some fans recognize Li Ang, they will not cheer. Instead, they will raise their little thumbs and yell at Li Ang: "Get as far away as you can, this is the territory of the Lakers and Kobe's city!"

Li Ang:.

The Clippers' position in Los Angeles is indeed very secure.

Finally, after leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, Li Ang arrived at the Clippers' new training facility.

This training base was built by Ballmer last summer and was just completed this year. Li Ang is the first batch of players to use this new training hall.

Because of Ballmer's unlimited investment ideas, this training facility is actually very luxurious and has all kinds of facilities.

Li Ang had seen the photos, and even the toilets were very luxurious. It seems that when I go to the toilet to sublimate myself in the future, I will feel much happier.

After Li Ang walked into the training hall, he saw several people training on the court.

Li Ang took a closer look and found that there were three players and several trainers on the court. The three players were Rose, Duncan and Barnes.

Barnes glanced at Li Ang. For some reason, Li Ang felt that Barnes's expression seemed to be about to cry.

Barnes was really about to cry, he had never been so embarrassed in his life!

After he walked into the training hall today, he greeted Rose and Duncan respectively.

In the end, Duncan and Rose just said "Yeah" and nodded without saying a word more.

What’s even more frightening is that no matter what Barnes said in the following time, no one paid attention to him.

BARNES: The weather is nice today.

Ross:.

Duncan:.

Barnes: Hey, where will you stay when you come to Los Angeles?

Ross:.

Duncan:.

Ross and Duncan looked like they didn't understand English, they didn't say a word!

Maybe he thought it was rude to ignore someone, but Duncan finally responded to Barnes: "Huh?"

BARNES: Ahhhhh!

Then, the three of them practiced together for half an hour without saying anything.

It's the most embarrassing feeling to have a few strangers get together and have nothing to say.

Barnes feels that he is so embarrassed that he can deduct a three-bedroom and one-living room in the new arena. If Ballmer had hired Barnes to dig the ground for the new arena that Ballmer planned to build for the Clippers, it would probably have been completed two or three years earlier. .

Finally, Li Ang came at this time.

Barnes felt that he was finally saved, and there was finally a normal person on the training ground!

Barnes ran towards Li Ang, and Li Ang also opened his arms.

However, when Barnes approached Li Ang, Li Ang hugged Barnes, clasped his waist with both hands, lifted him up and put him on the floor.

A successful hug!

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? I saw you running over and thought you wanted to spar with me. Nice to meet you, Matt."

Barnes' head was buzzing and he thought he was in a mental hospital.

Where is the person who greets someone by throwing them to the ground? ?

No wonder Ballmer offers himself such a high salary. Damn, if you work as a security guard in a mental hospital, can your salary be as low as that?

Two mutes and a violent maniac, Barnes really wanted to break the contract.

Might as well go play rugby!

Li Ang indeed misunderstood Barnes. After all, Barnes gave people the impression of being a villain.

Before coming to the training hall, Li Ang had already listed him as a key target for persuading people with virtue.

Seeing such a tattooed villain charging towards him, Li Ang subconsciously put him down. This is normal!

Human conditioned reflexes cannot be stopped.

When something hits your face, you will reflexively close your eyes and block it with your hands.

When reading a basketball novel, you will reflexively click on the opening chapter to see if there are any pictures.

So how can it be called abnormal for Li Ang to throw others down as a reflex?

As soon as Li Ang arrived, Ross, who had been silent and expressionless just now, suddenly smiled: "Brother Li, we can train together every day from now on!"

Duncan also reached out and touched Li Ang's head: "Coming?"

Barnes was even more speechless. How could Li Ang get along so happily with them?

At this time, the door of the training hall was pushed open again.

Barnes turned around and saw a ball of flesh that blocked all the light outside.

Barnes thought he was delivering water. After all, it was unlikely that he would be a professional player with such a figure.

As a result, the visitor waved to Li Ang: "Li, we are together again!"

That's right, that guy who's already fat as a ball is Dior, the coffee man.

Not to mention Barnes, even Li Ang was shocked.

"Boris, you've eaten all the baguettes in France!" Leon looked at Dior's figure and couldn't help but complain.

Diaw is now fatter than when he was with the Bobcats last season, and his figure is so out of shape that he really doesn't look like a professional player.

Dior scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't finish all the French baguettes, but he could still eat half of the French baguettes.

After all, Diaw is not the kind of person who regards basketball as a lifelong career. In addition to basketball, he has many interests and hobbies.

Photography, travel, etc.

Therefore, Dior hardly trained this whole summer, and he ate and drank endlessly because of his love for food.

When Li Ang called him before, he couldn't get through because he simply chose to turn off his phone while traveling.

And his instructions to his agent were: "You can play wherever you want, it's up to you."

It’s so Buddhist.

Diaw didn't know until a few days ago that he had been traded to the Clippers and became teammates with Li Ang.

Only then did he gain the desire to play well, otherwise he could continue to be a Buddhist for another season.

Later, Francis also arrived at the training hall.

Compared with when he was young, Brother Fu also looks much bloated. Originally, my appearance was impressive back then, but now it's better, and my appearance has become a negative number.

And as soon as he entered the door, he shouted to Li Ang: "Brother Yunlong, there are a lot of fruits in Los Angeles. When are we going to visit the store?"

After seeing Rose, the top pick, Francis went over and patted Rose on the shoulder: "Okay, young man, just like me back then! I think back then, I was also a point guard who could do anything in heaven or on earth!"

With that said, Francis picked up the basketball and prepared to perform a dunk in front of Rose.

Francis knows very well that as a veteran, he must calm down the newcomers on the first day!

Francis took a few steps back and then rushed toward the basket with all his strength.

Li Ang looked at Francis with a smile. The Francis who was not bound by gravity was back again.

Before Li Ang could finish his emotion, he heard a "bang".

Francis' two-handed dunk was not high enough and hit the rim directly. Then the ball bounced back and just hit his head. He fell directly to the ground in a free fall.

All gymnasium:.

Who invited this funny guy?

"Hey, Cao, this training hall is newly built, isn't it? Is this basketball stand newly bought? Yes, yes, that's the problem with the basketball stand. The basketball stand is set too high!"

Francis covered his head and yelled at the basketball hoop.

As expected of an old-timer, he taught Rose a lesson as soon as he made a move.

This dunk told Rose that if something unexpected happens on the basketball court in the future, his first reaction will be to quibble!

Barnes looked at Francis who was like Sabi, and he really wanted to turn around and leave right away.

Is there a normal person on this team?

While Francis was still banging the basketball hoop, head coach Dunleavy walked in with his new assistant coach Tyronn Lue.

Dunleavy looked at the laughing and joking players seriously, and Barnes thought, this group of idiots should stop now, right?

However, the next second, Dunleavy suddenly put on a smiling face and walked up to Li Ang: "One star shooting or triangle attack? I have everything here!"

Good guy, Barnes is straight up good guy.

Are you just a dog-licker?

After that, other players also arrived at the training hall one after another.

The Clippers for the new season are officially assembled.

Because it was the first day, Dunleavy did not arrange too complicated training for everyone. The entire training was mainly focused on restoring physical condition.

After training began, Barnes found that abnormal things continued.

Ross, who was taciturn and like a melancholy little prince before, has become excited since Leon arrived, as if a switch has been turned on.

When practicing controlling two balls at the same time, people stand still and shoot two balls at the same time.

Rose is good, he laughs and jumps around while dribbling, like a sand sculpture.

Of course Rose is not a charlatan, he just wants to show his ability to control the ball with both hands in front of Li Ang.

Brother Li, look, I am now very skilled at controlling two balls at the same time! Even if I walk around like this, the ball won't drop!

On the other side, Duncan is practicing catching and shooting.

It should not be said that Lao Dengtou's shooting was indeed very stable, and the "swishing" sound of the basketball hitting the net never stopped.

At this time, Duncan seemed to realize that someone was watching him. He suddenly turned his head and found that Barnes was looking at him.

The two suddenly looked at each other, but they didn't know each other well enough to know what to say. Just continue to ignore people, it seems rude.

So Duncan showed his smile that was "amiable" enough to get a technical foul.

Looking at that ferocious smile, Barnes instantly looked away.

This is so scary!

Then, Barnes discovered that Diaw was wearing slippers and holding a cup of coffee while slowly shooting baskets with one hand.

At this time, Barnes heard the muffled sound of "bang bang bang" again.

I turned around and saw that their star player, Li Ang, was wearing boxing gloves and hitting sandbags.

Well, in order to adapt to Leon's style, Ballmer asked the trainers to hang several sandbags outside the court.

This is very much to Li Ang's liking.

Anyway, today is just restorative training, focusing on recovering the body.

Who said that only playing basketball can restore the body?

Just now, before training started, Barnes just felt that something was a little bit wrong with this team.

But now, Barnes has changed his mind.

Something is very wrong with this team!

Normally, when Barnes joins a new team, others are afraid of him.

And this is the first time that Barnes is so afraid of his teammates.

In fact, Li Ang was quite speechless.

This team is still too scattered. The main rotation lineup has basically been changed, and the main tactics have not yet been confirmed.

Moreover, the player's status is also very problematic. Diaw was obscenely fat, Barnes was muddled, and Francis struggled to dunk.

The scene of the team's first assembly was hugely different from what Li Ang expected.

I thought I would definitely see a team that was full of energy and tenacity.

As a result, I found out that it was a team that was full of idiots and was overweight.

If they cannot adjust their condition as soon as possible, the team's strength will be greatly reduced.

To be honest, Li Ang is very worried about the team's status in the new season.

Of course, with Duncan and Rose here, Li Ang believes that the team's record will not be much different.

But the Clippers' goal is to win the championship.

Li Ang can only help them adapt to the team in the remaining days of the training camp.

When the players were smiling on the court, punching sandbags in the sandbags, and being scared to death.

Lu Zi is also discussing the team's system for next season with head coach Dunleavy.

After all, the Clippers players have just been finalized during this period, and the two coaches can only start setting up tactics now.

However, Dunleavy is not the kind of coach who is good at building a system from scratch.

He glanced at Tyronn Lue, obviously wanting to see what unique insights his coach had.

Lu Zi was stunned for a few seconds, then picked up the tactical board and wrote on it.

Dunleavy took a look and realized that this kid was good, but he didn't see that he still had the skills to be a coach.

As a result, after Lu Zi showed Dunleavy the tactical board, Dunleavy's blood pressure suddenly soared.

There was no tactical diagram drawn on the tactical board, but a sentence was written: "Give the damn ball to Li Ang!"

Dunleavy: "What the hell do you call this a tactic?"

Lu Zi was puzzled: "I've always played like this in my career! I think that's how I won the championship with the Lakers! How come it's not a tactic to give the ball to the strongest person?"

Dunleavy was also convinced, Lu Zi, you are such a damn talent.

But what Lu Zi said makes sense!

Giving the ball to the strongest person is indeed a good tactic.

It's just that giving the ball to the strongest person requires a clever name.

Dunleavy has also considered imitating the Suns' seven-second offense before.

But in that case, Duncan will really become a pure blue-collar guy who follows the turnaround.

Or imitate the Chinese team and play the ancestral one-star four-shooter, but Rose's three-point ability has not been tested in the NBA. Moreover, after letting Li Ang play like this all season, Dunleavy was afraid of destroying Li Ang.

The old path doesn't work. We need to give the ball to the strongest people, but we also need to avoid wasting the talents of Rose and Duncan.

Dunleavy suddenly slammed the table: "Isn't the triangle offense that I'm best at tailor-made for them!"

Dunleavy was also a disciple of Phil Jackson back then, so he was deeply influenced by the triangle offense.

The Clippers meet all the requirements for the triangle offense.

An inside man with strong low post ability and support ability - Duncan.

A superstar No. 2 player with top outside singles ability - Li Ang.

A three-position player who can play the ball and shoot--Barnes.

Damn, this guy was born to eat the triangle offense!

Moreover, what is even more impressive than the Lakers and Bulls version of the triangle offense is that the Clippers also have a huge offensive threat at the No. 1 position.

This can help the team further open up space.

It can also cover up Rose's shortcomings in average organizational skills.

In this way, all three of Leon, Duncan and Rose can play a role and maximize their talents.

Dunleavy happily patted Lu Zi on the shoulder: "You are right, we will find a way to give the ball to the strongest person!"

However, a problem now is how to educate the players.

Because when implemented in detail, the triangle offense is a very complex positional offensive tactic with many variables.

It doesn't matter how thoroughly the coach understands it. If the players can't understand it, they won't be able to execute it on the court.

Building a lineup from scratch has to be said to be a real challenge for Dunleavy and Lu Zi.

The ship at the helm of Li Ang began to set sail slowly, but the sea was still rough.

The season is about to start, but the chaotic free agent market still hasn't stopped.

Baron Davis, the first generation of bearded men, continues to stay with the Warriors, preserving hope for the Warriors to make the playoffs next season.

The blockbuster trade between the Nuggets and Grizzlies has greatly increased the difficulty of making the playoffs in the Western Conference.

Initially, the Nuggets traded veteran Antonio McDyess for second-round pick Marc Gasol, who was drafted last year and signed with the Lakers this year.

Then, the Nuggets quickly sent Gasol, Camby, Andre Miller and two future first-round picks to the Grizzlies in exchange for the Grizzlies star Pau Gasol!

Next season, Gasol will join forces with Anthony to create their own world on the Denver plateau.

As soon as this deal came out, it added fuel to the new season that was about to start.

Everyone said that the Western Conference next season will be hellish.

Needless to say, the defending champion Lakers have a terrifyingly abnormal lineup.

The Mavericks are also a powerhouse in the Western Conference. The lineup of Kidd + Pierce + Dirk made it to the Western Conference Finals again last season.

Further down, there are the Hornets, who finished second in the Western Conference last season after adding Lewis.

Followed closely by the Clippers, the newly formed three-pick combination, what? The No. 1 pick in basketball is the No. 1 pick, but the No. 1 pick Li Angwu is not the No. 1 pick?

After the Clippers, there are the Nuggets, who have just acquired Gasol, and the Nuggets have the Jazz, led by Deron and Boozer.

Counting this way, there are at least six teams with superior strength in the Western Conference.

There are only 8 playoff spots in total.

In this chaotic West, people are naturally not optimistic about the Clippers' prospects.

After all, in the eyes of the world, the Clippers are only a serious super giant.

Duncan is too old and Rose is too young.

This is not like the Suns of the past, when the Suns also got three stars at the same time, but whether it was Li Ang, Nash or Xiao Ou, they were all in their prime at the time.

Everyone joked that this was simply a bankrupt version of the sun.

And, with almost the entire team rebuilt, no one knows what the Suns can do.

Although the Lakers were almost rebuilt last season, the Lakers are all veterans after all, and they also have Billups, a master of court control.

Furthermore, most people hate the rich.

Just like in the Premier League back then, people looked down on Chelsea, which Abramovich spent money to build, and thought it was just a soulless mercenary team.

The same goes for the Clippers. People don't want to believe that NBA championships can be won by spending money.

Everyone hopes that Ballmer will give him a thumbs up and spend money to teach him a lesson.

In this unpredictable west, the Clippers may soon sink into the sea.

The Clippers' opponent in the opening game, Mavericks second-in-command Paul Pierce, also thinks so.

In this era where social media has begun to take off, Pierce complained directly online:

"We should play the Lakers in the opener because fans want to see the two best teams facing off.

Los Angeles Clippers? They didn't even make the playoffs last season! We just want to fight the strongest opponent, not play house with mercenaries. "

After the Mavericks lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season, Pierce was naturally very unconvinced.

After holding back all summer, he just wanted to compete with the Lakers immediately and complete his revenge.

As a result, the Clippers were arranged for the opening game.

Pierce's lungs exploded with rage.

What can the Clippers do? With the abilities of Dirk and I, we can't beat the Clippers with a pinch of salt.

Pierce's disdain for the Clippers was revealed both inside and outside his words.

Li Ang originally wanted to reply on social media. After all, he and Pierce have been old rivals for many years.

As a result, after Li Ang opened his social media account, he suddenly lost interest in clowns like Pierce.

Because Li Ang discovered that after coming to Los Angeles, he seemed to

I have gained a lot of female fans again~
