The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 346 New Badges and New Challenges ([-]D Chapter)

On August 8, when the American men's basketball team was training in Las Vegas, Paul George was accidentally seriously injured while chasing a bearded player.

The fans sent their blessings one after another, and this accidental injury also made the players selected for the America national team feel heavy, and Harden was numb.

Li Ze also sent his blessings immediately. When the two played against each other last time, George wanted to train with him during the offseason. Fortunately, his injury can recover, which is a blessing in misfortune.

On August 8th, fans finally saw the action of the Cavaliers, signing two outside shooters-Mike Miller and James Jones.

These two iconic "James gang" players came to the Cavaliers, which seems to indicate that the team will make big moves in the near future.

LeBron James was unusually silent during the offseason. The media found that the second player in the league stopped speaking after returning to Akron.

However, the all-pervasive sports media finally realized that LeBron James is actually busy losing weight. Obviously, James will not go to the inside again in the new season.

In contrast, Li Ze was very active. At the beginning of August, Staples held two concerts. One was Taylor’s, Li Ze participated in the name of a local guest, and the other was Magnum. taylor as guest
The two repeatedly cut leeks twice, and finally reaped a lot of beautiful knives to their heart's content.

Fans strongly supported the scene, the atmosphere exploded, and the Los Angeles media followed suit. Li Ze had a great time in early August
Since Li Ze will return to Montana in mid-to-late August, and the America Men's Basketball World Cup will also be training, everyone chooses to have a small gathering in early August.

During the offseason every year, Li Ze will return to UCLA. In addition to normal study and study, he will occasionally compete with the new players.

The coach is very pleased about this. This year, UCLA also has two players who have entered the NBA, so the number of people in the party is also a little more.

Zach LaVine was selected by the Timberwolves with the 2014th overall pick in 13. At this time, the newcomer screamed excitedly after seeing Li Ze hit 12 consecutive goals with unreasonable pull-up jumpers in the training hall.

Guigui, who was facing Li Ze, was taken away in one breath, and finally could only shake his head depressingly. This kind of 1v1 match was not suitable for him.

But the most eye-catching thing at this time is not Li Ze, but Kevin Love, who has successfully lost weight.

When he was at UCLA, Love's weight reached 270 pounds. At that time, he was a white and fat man. However, after entering the NBA and changing training teams, Love became thinner every year.

And this offseason, Love's goal is to lose another 24 pounds. Although he is still losing weight, his sharp facial features have been exposed.

Fat people are potential stocks!
Walking on campus, many girls would turn their heads to Le Fu frequently, which was not common in their previous college life, and only Li Ze had this treatment.

But at this time, the handsome guy who had successfully lost weight was in a bad mood.

Kyle Anderson, who entered the NBA this year, acted as a ball boy, and today he is here to get acquainted with the boss.

Kevin Rooney and Norman Powell also yelled along with Zach Lavin, and from time to time they went up to play two goals with Li Ze.

After everyone at the scene was abused, Li Ze laughed and shouted:

"Who else? I won a game, and I will pay for the consumption tonight!"

"Alas!"

The onlookers who were eating melons immediately followed and booed, they really couldn't beat it!
After satisfying the autographed group photo needs of some young players, during the break, Love said with a depressed face:

"I knew that I would get nothing when I was selected by the Timberwolves. Now it is even more difficult to leave!"

Guigui thought of Le Fu's contract, and immediately comforted him:
"$4 million in 6100 years, getting such a contract is already very successful!"

Li Ze felt that such consolation would definitely have the opposite effect, and as expected, Le Fu couldn't help but feel even more depressed when he thought that both Guigui and Li Ze had super-maximum salaries.

Zach LaVine on the side was heartbroken. He was just selected to the Timberwolves. Isn't this a bright future?

Kyle Anderson is quite fortunate. Although the Spurs are a little poor, and San Antonio is not as good as Los Angeles, they are still a little better than Minnesota.

"The Timberwolves didn't say anything dead, and Chapman also communicated with the management. As long as there are draft picks and potential new stars, the other party will definitely release them."

"This is the same for every team. If you can't achieve the expected results, then start building again. Now it depends on your wishes."

What Li Ze said was the truth, the Timberwolves had already received many offers, but out of respect for the All-Star players, Love has been vacillating, so the deal could not be reached.

Love nodded. Of course he knew that the Cavaliers had already started a three-party deal, and the other party was going to send Maple Leaf Jordan Andrew Wiggins. This deal made the Timberwolves' management quite moved.

With a height of just over two meters, strong physical fitness, good movement and control ability, and then polishing and shooting, he may be the next Li Ze.

As long as Love nods, the Timberwolves will immediately pack him up and send him away.

With Andrew Wiggins, plus Zach LaVine, who is physically fit, and two lottery tickets, the Timberwolves believe that they will definitely win the big prize.

After hearing the news, several people who eat melons realized that the news that the Cavaliers wanted Kevin Love for more than a month was true!

LeBron James, who returned to the Cavaliers, put on the airs of a superstar and signed a two-year 4210+1 contract of 1 million dollars.

LeBron James, as the second man in the league, once again showed his platoon. Although the Cavaliers management was still a little dissatisfied, they finally agreed to this almost one-year contract.

And such a contract did put some pressure on the Cavaliers management, what if this guy runs away again?
Under such circumstances, the whole team naturally strives for the championship. LeBron James wants Love, and general manager David Griffin immediately asks for the price.

This performance also made LeBron James feel extremely comfortable.

Originally, James wanted to take the opportunity to hold a grand homecoming ceremony, but Rich Paul told him that a large number of fans actually did not welcome him home, and in the end the idea fell through.
What the fans saw was LeBron James who lost weight with peace of mind. In the free market, the Cavaliers have actually been very active, but they haven't caught any big fish.

"I'll think about it for a few more days. Seriously, I don't like playing with James, and I'm not interested in standing in the corner, but I like the playing field in the East!"

Love gave Li Ze a resentful look. He prefers to play brother basketball, and Los Angeles is also his favorite city.

Guigui seemed to think of something, and grinned when he heard Le Fu's words:
"In fact, playing with James is also very good! Anyway, winning or losing is his problem. Let's get the data first. Don't forget that the league may sign a large broadcast contract. This is an opportunity to make a lot of money!"

The green and beautiful knife stimulated Le Fu to nod subconsciously, and the opportunity to make money also excited the newbies beside him.

Norman Powell's prospects for the draft are not very good. When everyone is preparing to have fun together, he is a little embarrassed to consult Li Ze:

"Kayce, if I fall to the second round next year, do I have a chance to play for the Clippers?"

Hearing such a question, Li Ze immediately gave the other party a reassurance:

"Don't underestimate yourself. There is still one year left. If you play well, you will really fall to the second round. I can still help with this small favor."

Kevin Rooney on the side also took aim at Li Ze's movements, but as a 5-star high school student, he was also known as "Little Durant" back then. Although he suffered a hip injury in his first year at UCLA and greatly reduced his athletic ability, There is still some embarrassment in my heart.

After Norman Powell moved away from Li Ze with a smile on his face, Kevin Rooney also came up to him. Before he could speak, Li Ze patted Li Ze on the shoulder:

"This coach told me about your situation. Remember to perform well next season. No matter how bad you are, you can fall to the bottom of the first round. Don't worry about your contract!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, Kevin Rooney also smiled happily, and at the same time said a little shyly:
"I will play well, but after the injury, I am a little worried that I will leave the basketball court, thanks, Kayce! No matter what the result is next year, I will not give up basketball."

For these requests, Li Ze knew very well, and the general manager of the Clippers, Gary Sachs, was not easy to refuse. UCLA won 12 championships in the NCAA, and the bonus of a famous basketball school. As alumni, going through the back door is considered a routine operation.

This is also an invisible benefit brought by both of them from UCLA. For Mengxin with outstanding talents, these small tricks are naturally not used. In fact, the bottom of the first round and the second round of the show are actually very few. Both are passable.

Li Ze can be regarded as a clear stream among the superstars in the league. There are no followers around him, and no brothers who want to eat basketball.

If you help alumni, the Clippers will only raise their hands to welcome them. The friendship of famous basketball schools can also be regarded as a means of expanding contacts.

It's just that Li Ze still has a strange look when he thinks of the scenes that may appear in the future:
"The Clippers will not become the base camp of UCLA in the future."

When Klay Thompson returned to Los Angeles, it was already August 8th. He and Love were both childhood friends.

The rumors of this transaction made everyone a little helpless. After all, watching their friends jump into the fire pit made them feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the deal could not be reached in the end, and Jerry West vetoed it with one vote, so when he went out to play today, Klay Thompson smiled happily:

"No deal! I don't have to go to Minnesota. The new coach feels good, but I miss Mark Jackson."

Li Ze was driving the yacht topless, patted Willa Holland who was hanging on his body, and then said helplessly:

"You think too much! I told you a long time ago that the Cavaliers are going to trade Andrew Wiggins for Love. It's because you don't believe my news that you worry about being replaced all day long."

On the other hand, Clay's girlfriend Sarah came to this kind of party for the first time, and she was a little embarrassed to speak. On the contrary, Vera didn't see anything, and teased Clay with a smile:

"Minnesota is obviously a good place, but it is rare to see snow in Los Angeles!"

As Li Ze's party girl, everyone can be regarded as old acquaintances. Hearing such ridicule, Clay also pulled up his girlfriend and responded with a smile:
"But I just like places with seas. Minnesota is too boring. It reminds me of Purgatory Island in "Arrow". Minnesota is Purgatory Island to me, so boring!"

Li Ze hooked his fingers to Clare, signaling him to come and sail the boat, and then greeted the little sister brought by Vera on the yacht:
"Mr. Thompson pays for today's consumption!"

"Oh!!"

The eight white girls who were sunbathing all cheered and blew kisses to Clay.

Just after waving at the girls, Clay felt pain in his ribs, and then he noticed that his real girlfriend Sarah was looking at him angrily:

"They're all Kayce's friends! Don't get me wrong!"

Clay looked at Li Ze surrounded by a bunch of girls, and secretly showed envious eyes:

"This is the life I want"

On August 8, the big melon that Amerika fans were looking forward to finally happened.

In the three-team trade, the Cavaliers sent Anthony Bennett, Andrew Wiggins and a trade exception to the Timberwolves;
The Cavaliers then sent the 2016 first-round pick to the 1ers;

The Timberwolves sent Kevin Love to the Cavaliers and Mbah a Moute and Alexei Shwed to the 76ers;

The 76ers traded Thaddeus Young to the Timberwolves.

After the news was confirmed by the NBA, the sports reporters in Amerika were excited again. The Cavaliers became a Big Three team in a short period of time!
Andrew Wiggins hasn't seen LeBron James since signing with the Cavaliers, didn't play a regular season, and was sent to frigid Minnesota
There was a lot of glory in the draft, but now it’s all a passing moment. Maple Leaf Jordan is no match for the chosen one. Although Andrew Wiggins is depressed to death, he can only pack his bags and prepare to report to the Timberwolves.

The good-tempered Andrew Wiggins didn't say much in the interview with the media, and in the end he only said one sentence:
"I will prove myself with actual performance!"

The fans of the Cavaliers seemed to see the hope of the championship, and immediately shouted the classic slogan that had been forgotten for many years:

"Knight Championship!"

Even fans who don't like LeBron James coming home believe that the team will be completely different in the new season, at least the playoffs should be fine!

Cavaliers fans have already experienced Kyrie Irving's ability to lead the team, and everyone knows the lower limit of LeBron James.

Although it is impossible to determine whether the team can win the championship, as long as it can reach the playoffs, many fans are already satisfied. After 4 years of bad performance, the fans miss the past time too much.

With the full body of the Cavaliers officially unveiled, the critics of America immediately gave an interpretation:

"A tough outside scorer and a space-based power forward. This Cavaliers team is a perfect fit for LeBron James. They will be the biggest opponents of the Clippers in the new season!"

Whether the Clippers can defend their title, and whether the Cavaliers with LeBron James can succeed in the championship, the two sides will be full of topics for a while.

At the end of August, the topic of Li Ze VS LeBron James once again ignited various sports media.

He has reached the finals for 4 consecutive years. Although Li Ze does not feel any physical fatigue, he did not immediately devote himself to training during this year's offseason.

In the second half of the month, he returned to Montana with the money printing machine girl, and Li Ze had to concentrate on being with his family.

The Keds training camp was held as scheduled, and the addition of Holiday and Love this year also allowed the training camp to expand to New Orleans and Cleveland.

After Love arrived in Cleveland, he was warmly welcomed by the local fans. With the Keds activities, he became the local traffic leader for a while.

And another Cavaliers leader, Kyrie Irving, didn't say a word after LeBron James came home. Obviously, his boss was doing well, but the son of heaven parachuted home and suddenly became the second child.
This change in team status made Kyrie Irving very depressed.

He was Kemi when he was a child, and he became a Li Ze fan halfway through. For Kyrie Irving, his goal is to become the next Li Ze.

A loser actually became his own boss, Kyrie Irving was naturally 1 unconvinced!
The local sports media in Cleveland didn't interview Kyrie Irving throughout the offseason. Now that Love is here, Irving still didn't make a statement. The keen media immediately noticed that the atmosphere of the team was not right.

On the contrary, Tristan Thompson, Mike Miller, and James Jones welcomed Love's arrival very much, and the scene was not too embarrassing after all.

Keds will officially launch big sneakers in the new season. Although it is still midsole technology, after several years of polishing, the sneakers have officially been on the right track.

Kevin Love accepted a $500 million endorsement contract. This offseason is just responsible for expanding the Cleveland market. After joining the team, he has continued training camps and small brand activities. With his outstanding appearance, he has successfully impressed the local community. Made a good impression.

Regardless of whether Irving welcomes Love or not, Love has gained a firm foothold in the Cavaliers after this operation.
No one can guess the thoughts in Irving's mind, but the media reporters in America know that the Cavaliers will not be harmonious in the new season.

At the beginning of September, Durant airborne in New York, in addition to participating in Nike's activities, by the way to help 9K2 publicity.

This skin-changing game launched two covers this year. One version is Durant wearing a Thunder jersey holding the ball and breaking through, with the MVP trophy as the background element;

Another version is that Li Ze raised his hands to welcome the back of the golden ribbon, surrounded by 4 O'Brien cups.

Promote the game, and by the way, participated in the Jimmy Tonight Show. The MVP brought Durant a huge amount of exposure.

Although he fell in the Western Conference semifinals this season, he still missed Li Ze at the time, but now he enjoyed more spotlights, and Durant also made up his mind:

"Just to be the boss! Always be the core of the team!"

When the time came to mid-September, when Li Ze returned to Los Angeles again, he was also ready to officially devote himself to training.

What makes Li Ze feel depressed is that none of the Tianchao players applied to join the training camp. Although Ah Lian patted his chest and promised to help him bring in a few young players after returning to China, this year it still failed.
The purpose of the training camp is to give the young players from China a chance to compete with local American players and learn about the sports science here.

He has resources at UCLA, and the Clippers also have a place in the summer league, but unfortunately, the first player to eat crabs has not yet appeared.

Li Ze first completed a series of physical tests with his training team.

The trainer Tony scratched his head in surprise. It is very difficult for an athlete at Li Ze's level to improve more.

Although the entire team does not pursue absolute strength training, but focuses more on the development of core strength and body coordination, but watching Li Ze calmly complete a series of tests, the trainer Wagner also shook his head, which broke his confidence. Know.

However, Li Ze also had some doubts about his physical development. After finishing the test, he couldn't help asking:
"If you lose weight properly, will your speed and explosiveness still improve?"

The trainer Tony immediately shook his head, and then simply responded:
"As we have discussed before, the body has limits. Basketball is different from long-distance running. Most of the time, it is a short-distance switchback. At present, the weight does not burden your body."

The trainer Meg has been responsible for the development of Li Ze's physical coordination. Hearing Li Ze's words, he immediately knew what this big employer was thinking:
"Kayce, this kind of physical fitness basically crushes all the back lines. Frequent breakthroughs and too many stops and starts will definitely consume your body."

"It's fine to maintain your current weight, or to lose weight appropriately, it depends on how you feel about yourself."

Li Ze sighed inwardly. It wasn't these problems that he was depressed about, but he couldn't say much about his own situation.

After completing the physical test, everyone re-customized the training plan for the new season, and the new training plan will not be officially implemented until the 20th.

After sending the three of them away, Li Ze came to the study, briefly browsed the news of the past half month, and then thought of the attribute he had just unlocked:
Basic attributes:
速度：90（+5），力量：86（+5），体力：96（+6），弹跳力：90（+5），防守敏捷：91（+5），控球：88（+5），
近距离投篮：95（+6），空位中距离投篮：92（+5），空位三分投篮：92（+5），罚球：95（+6）。

Advanced attributes:
Cut layups: 100, cut dunks: 100, stop dunks: 83,

Confused mid-range shots: 95, Mid-range shots off the dribble: 95, Confused 93-pointers: 93, [-]-point shots off the dribble: [-],

Post-up hook: 62, post-up fadeaway: 94, dribble speed: 90, acceleration: 93.

The bonus brought by the 4 championship badges has allowed some attributes to successfully break through 100. According to the experience of last season, after breaking through to 100, there will be some potential states. Li Ze is very looking forward to this.

Noticing the text message on the phone, Durant proposed to celebrate his birthday together. After replying, Li Ze also realized that he was 24 years old:

"time flies."

That night, Li Ze fell asleep peacefully by himself. He had accumulated badges for a season, and it was time to harvest them together.

After zero o'clock, in the dream training space, Li Zelai's achievement room saw a large piece of purple light, and immediately felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. As the biggest gain of this season, it is naturally the championship badge:

Achievement Badge [NBA Championship]: Level 4 (Fusionable)
The glory of the champion, the player's overall attribute is increased by 4.25%, and the game experience is added.

Basic attribute after fusion: champion gene - will have a keen intuition in the face of high-intensity defense.

Additional attributes after fusion: Leader's Heart - Leading the team to victory is regarded as one's own responsibility, boosting the morale of the whole team.

Experience bonus: 2 times.

After the champion badge is upgraded, combined with the [NCAA Championship], it will bring Li Ze a 5.75% increase in all attributes.

Although the speed attribute seems to have reached its limit, as long as the champion badge continues to be upgraded, the attribute will still increase next time.

Li Ze looked at the two golden badges [organization core] and [defense core] again, and finally thought of a synthesis route:
"Hopefully bold ideas will be rewarded handsomely!"

After re-checking the leveling experience required for the scattered golden badges, and silently calculating in his mind, Li Ze smiled easily. Before the All-Star Game, maybe he will be able to usher in transformation again.

At the end of September, the Los Angeles media began to report Li Ze's gossip again.

At the birthday party, Durant and Harden brought 2 backpacks of cash and sprinkled beautiful knives. Many beautiful girls who like to hang out at the party almost went crazy that night, sending watches, cars, and diamond braces. what to give.

The reported crazy consumption stimulated the fans' eyes to turn green.
The Clippers rejected the league's overseas preseason invitation this year, and the team will make every effort to prepare for the new season.

At the end of September, Gary Sachs received another free agent in the free market.

On the recommendation of a European agent, Joe Ingles was temporarily signed.

This is a contract without any guarantees, and before the start of the new season, the Clippers can cut Ingles at any time.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent had a three-pointer, Gary Sachs wouldn't want to sign this athletic Australian player.

On the morning of the 30th, the Clippers' training camp also officially opened. Compared with last season, the main lineup has been kept intact, which is the biggest guarantee for the Clippers to hit three consecutive championships this season.

Backline: Li Ze, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford, Reggie Bullock;
Forwards: Blake Griffin, Matt Barnes, Jamal Dudley, PJ Tucker;

Centers: DeAndre Jordan, Spencer Hawes, Nikola Jokic.

Those who have not yet received a contract include: Joe Ingles, Aipai Udo, Jordan Farmar, Nate Robinson, etc.

In the 2014-2015 season, the salary cap of the NBA increased by 7.5%, reaching US$6306.5 million, and the luxury tax collection line increased by 7.1%, and was finally set at US$7682.9 million.

The increase in the salary cap has also made the salaries of this year's rookies more substantial, and for the Clippers, the increased salary cap has also allowed them to pay less luxury tax.

The contracts of Li Ze and Griffin this season have come to 1767 million US dollars, and Chris Paul also has 2000 million US dollars. In the case of maintaining the core lineup, the Clippers' salary has also reached 8625 million US dollars.

This kind of salary is properly among the top five in the league. Of course, compared with the Nets who have taken advantage of it, it is still a little bit worse.

In the training camp, Nate Robinson bragged about everyone. This man knew that it would be difficult for him to get a contract, but it was also a very face-saving thing to be able to get involved with the championship team through Li Ze's relationship.

Add some bragging rights, learn some inside gossip, and many players are keen on such things.

"Hey! Kayce! I can assure you that you guys will win a three-peat this season!"

Li Ze and Nate Robinson made a set of hand gestures that were fancy in the Thunder era, which immediately made the small player laugh.

Li Ze still remembers their opening action, which made Nate Robinson feel more face, the superstar of the league is his superficial brother!
"Nice to see you in training camp, how are you doing in LA?"

Seeing Li Ze asking with a smile, Nate Robinson immediately said in a frantic voice:
"Great! I like West Coast chicks!"

For most black players, apart from bragging and gossip, all they have left is to talk about "the ball". The lower the players are, the more simple and rude they appear. Controlling the ball with two hands is their favorite.

Paul participated in activities everywhere this offseason, and even gave speeches on the same stage with O'Hei at public welfare activities.

The height of an ordinary person, his enthusiasm for charity, the addition of a champion guard and the chairman of the players union, have made Paul's popularity steadily rise.

And Griffin flew around with his girlfriend during the offseason, crazily showing affection
After the training camp started, although some newcomers came, everyone didn't care. Second-round picks and players without contracts would slowly disappear from the league.

Li Ze's old teammate Byron lost his job again this season. Coach De Nagro still trusts Hollins more, or Hollins' performance is more stable.

Although they are all regular-season players, Hollis has a height of 2 meters and a solid body. He can top the inside line, and he also has a three-pointer from the outside line.
Therefore, Hollins firmly occupied the position of the backup center. This offseason, the two sides signed a 2-year contract of 850 million dollars.

Everyone chatted and joked, Jokic couldn't speak the language, and in addition to patronizing training during the offseason, he didn't get to know his teammates in advance.

Li Ze saw this Mengxin standing alone in a daze, and immediately stepped forward, and greeted him in simple Serbian:

"There will be a physical test in a while, get ready, Jokic!"

Jokic was overjoyed when he heard the familiar language, and asked quickly:

"What is the test? Will there be requirements for body fat percentage? I knew I should eat less during the offseason, but I didn't expect the team to be so strict!"

After talking a lot, Li Ze is not as proficient in a foreign language as Spanish, so he understood the general idea, and finally said in a mixture of English and Serbian in a funny way:

"You should try to communicate in English! Of course, the physical test is just to understand the status of the players during the offseason."

After patting this cute new big man, noticing that the head coach De Nagro and the coaching staff were all present, Li Ze and Paul began to invite everyone to get together.

Winning the championship for two consecutive years has also made head coach De Nagro more like a champion coach. Seeing that the players are in good condition and there is no obvious blessing, he immediately said simply:
"I think everyone must be very clear about the goal of the new season. Our goal is only the championship, and we will continue to defend the championship!"

"After several years of getting along, I believe everyone understands that in the regular season, every player will get a chance to express themselves, and the playing time depends on your performance on the court."

"So, in daily training, I hope everyone can devote 100%. This season, we will create a new history for the Clippers!"

The assistant coach Tyronn Lue on the side felt that his chicken soup level seemed to be higher. Although he also received offers from other teams during the offseason, he finally chose to stay with the Clippers.

He wants to witness the Clippers becoming a dynasty team as an assistant coach, so that his resume will look better, and then he will boldly pursue his dream.

Tyronn Lue thinks he also has the potential to be a champion coach!Just find the player who fits the strongest tactics, and he can take off directly!
The Clippers officially opened camp, and the Cavaliers have already conducted several open team training games.

LeBron James has lost a lot of weight. Although he is very low-key after returning to his hometown, he is generally in a good mood. The privilege of being a superstar is back!
The impact of the league's second man in Cleveland was enormous, and open practice games sold out.

LeBron James' gliding dunks, Kevin Love's precise three-pointers, and Kyrie Irving's extravagant tricks all made everyone scream. The Cavaliers are finally about to rise again!

However, some team reporters were dissatisfied with Kyrie Irving's attitude. The Cavaliers training camp started very early. Although Irving played in the World Cup, he should report on time at the end of September.

As a result, this guy went to the birthday party of Li Ze and Durant, got drunk, and took a rest for two days before reporting to the team.

LeBron James didn't say anything, but the management was a little dissatisfied. Most importantly, in the face of interviews with media reporters, Kyrie Irving never made a statement, admitting that James is the core of the team.

"I have my own way of playing. Under my leadership, the Cavaliers will get better and better! LeBron is a superstar, I am very happy that he can join the team!"

This is the attitude Irving showed when facing the media. Obviously, this man does not agree with LeBron James' status in the team.
America's commentators are frantically talking about who will win this year's championship, the Clippers or the Cavaliers.

In the end, most critics still firmly believe that the Clippers with Li Ze will have the last laugh.

On October 10th, with the arrival of the preseason, fans will also be able to see the status of their teams in the new season.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, in the preseason, the Warriors showed an explosive state.

Pundits were quick to notice the changes to the Warriors' roster.

The addition of Sean Livingston, Marreese Speights, and Leandro Barbosa brought a different vitality to the bench.

Warriors fans were delighted by Stephen Curry's shooting.

In contrast, the Clippers' preseason game was mediocre, the main lineup did not appear at all, and Li Ze sat on the sidelines waving towels every game.

On October 10, the NBA also arranged a city derby in the preseason.

But to the disappointment of the fans, Kobe Bryant failed to make his appearance. For the Clippers, Paul and Griffin played for 8 minutes before taking a rest.

The opponent is too weak, and everyone is not interested in abuse. Coach De Nagro also thinks that such a game is meaningless for Li Ze to play. After all, the Lakers are basically a bunch of role players on the court, and the two sides are not at the same level.

In the Staples Arena, the fans watched with gusto. Even if they only saw Kobe sitting on the bench, some Lakers fans felt that it was worth the fare.

Mengxin Jokic got the chance to play in the second quarter of the game. Through these days of communication, Li Ze also got a simple understanding of this white fat man.

The style of play seems soft, but it is actually very tough. Obviously, in the Serbian League, Dejan Milojevic's coaching style has established Jokic's basketball style.

The head coach was once the MVP of the Adriatic League and the UEFA Champions League, and was known for his fierce and tough style of play at the time.

After his debut, Jokic gave Farmar a pick-and-roll at the elbow on the left side of the free throw line, and then moved down flexibly. After receiving the pass, he made a layup against Ed Davis of the Lakers. Li Ze was on the sidelines Smiling and waving the towel.

The fans at the scene also cheered this cute new player. Thinking of Jokic's confident attitude these days, Li Ze smiled and said to the trainer Tony next to him:
"You have been in contact with Nikola the longest. Why do you think he is so confident that his basketball skills are fully adaptable to the NBA?"

Although the trainer Tony did not personally participate in Jokic's training, he still knew the detailed physical test report:

"If you look at it by traditional standards, he's really nothing special, but he's very good in another way, which may be a little bit different from a traditional player."

"Excellent hand-eye coordination and above-NBA center-level bullet speed."

"Many people may pay more attention to the jumping height, but in fact, the speed of the bullet can help players accomplish a lot in NBA games."

Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, smiled. These days, after the Clippers started training camp, everyone also had a preliminary impression of Jokic:

"Confident fat man!"

I firmly believe that as long as my physical fitness meets the NBA standard, I can become a starter. When Jokic gesticulated and said this sentence in stumbling English, everyone in the Clippers immediately laughed.

Little Jordan almost grinned his mouth on the back of his head. He can hit 10 for a fat man of this size!
But everyone likes this confident second-round pick. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language. On the court, this guy really showed a different style of play.

Or it should be said that the basketball IQ is different from that of ordinary players, but Jokic is helpless in the face of the muscular Jordan. As he himself said, his physical fitness is not up to the NBA standard.

Joe Ingles had played against Li Ze at the London Olympics, but at this time the Australian striker was still worrying about the contract.

"Kayce, do I have a chance to stay with the Clippers? I want to play in the NBA!"

Ingles took the initiative to lean next to Li Ze, asked in a low voice and whispered. In daily training, he still failed to win the favor of head coach De Nagro.

"After a while, after the fat man takes the ball, pay attention to his running position, maybe he will see you, and he scored two three-pointers in each game in the preseason. Believe me, your contract will be settled in the new season! "

"Don't expect Jamal to pass you the ball. That's the end point in our team. On the bench, he has almost unlimited shooting rights."

"The preseason is just for this veteran to have fun. The opportunity may disappear in a flash. Whether you can make it or not depends on you!"

Seeing Ingles running to the sidelines to warm up full of motivation, and noticing that the players who did not get the contract are also gearing up for their debut, Li Ze leaned on the seat with a smile, and whispered to himself:

"New season, new challenge!"
