NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

If other people say this, it would be a useless chicken soup.

But when Wang Chen says it, it seems different.

Because the Nuggets' road to the championship has been relying on some players who have never been optimistic about it, and they have counterattacked to the championship step by step.

Wang Chen's words naturally seem very important.

Especially among the people present, many are either rookies or marginal people.

They still have enthusiasm for the league, and their dreams have never been wiped out.

Among them, only Nash did not react, but just smiled lightly, without any malice or any other meaning, just a polite smile.

Nash has been in the league for too long and has seen too much.

How much strength can these new players have?

If they really have strength, they will not be abandoned by their original teams, and the rankings of other rookies will not be so low.

After a simple contact, Nash only felt that Iguodala really has some strength, and the others are relatively average.

The two heavy insiders can't run, and the other one is David West, who has good athletic ability and a certain accuracy, but that's it.

Others couldn't bear to watch, especially the second-round pick Ariza.

Having arrived at the gym early in the morning, Nash paid special attention to Ariza's shooting training, which was so bad that it was outrageous.

Nash even doubted whether Ariza had the ability to play in the NBA.

As a veteran, he felt that Wang Chen was just feeding chicken soup to the players, and Nash didn't take it seriously.

But he didn't mean to expose it. It is always better to make the team's atmosphere more positive than to be silent.

After the players finished training, Stevens came over.

"Wang, are you serious about what you said just now?"

In Stevens' opinion, these players are really average.

Of course, it can also be seen here that Stevens is not mature enough. If an experienced assistant coach saw the coach say this, he would probably guess that it was just a polite remark.

But no one would know that Wang Chen was serious, because most of the people here did become famous later.

"Of course, the people I'm talking about include you."

Wang Chen smiled and said to Stevens

""Huh?"

Stevens was a little surprised that Wang Chen thought he could be independent in the future.

He hadn't achieved any results yet.

"No doubt, this is why I invited you to be my assistant."

"By the way, you should prepare well recently. You will be the coach of all the pre-season games."

Wang Chen said with a smile.

"I coach the preseason!"

Stevens looked at Wang Chen in disbelief.

Before this, he was an assistant coach at Butler University. He came to Wang Chen for the purpose of learning.

Stevens didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to practice tactics so soon.

Although it was only the preseason, this opportunity was still extremely rare for him.

"Get ready." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Wang Chen patted Stevens on the shoulder.

Wang Chen had planned to upgrade Stevens in the preseason. He had discussed some things with Stevens before. Now he was testing how much Stevens had digested.

Time passed quickly.

The Bobcats received a certain amount of attention in this preseason, after all, it was a new team.

The configuration of this new team was very luxurious, of course, referring to the management.

Jordan, the God of Basketball, Mullin, the God's left hand, and Wang Chen, the miracle's right hand.

As for the players, Nash led a group of rotten fish and shrimps. Apart from Nash, there was only Bo. Eakins is more famous.

After all, Boykins is also regarded as the first backup point guard of the championship team, but due to his height limitation, Boykins' defense can easily become an ATM.

Although the roster of this new team is not very optimistic, it is also curious about what the black eight champion coach Wang Chen can do with this team.

But what surprised everyone was that Wang Chen did not show up in the entire preseason.

Instead, a young coach named Stevens was coaching.

Stevens' identity was soon revealed: he studied at DePauw University, obtained a bachelor's degree in economics, and was the director of market operations at Eli Lilly.

Quit his job After working with him for a while, he was spotted by Butler University and became an assistant coach three years ago.

It was not until recently that he was spotted by Wang Chen and became the chief assistant coach of the Bobcats.

After reading Stevens' resume, everyone had an idea.

Is Wang Chen kidding here?

In fact, as everyone expected, Stevens performed a little badly.

He didn't know the characteristics of each player, and Wang Chen deliberately didn't point out the characteristics of these players. Stevens was still relatively immature at this time.

Throughout the preseason (Li Zhao), Stevens almost didn't win a single game in the beginning.

But later, Stevens began to find a way, and he began to use Nash and Boykins became the engine of the team and designed some tactics.

Stevens himself is good at using small players. Later, it was in his hands that the 175cm-tall Isaiah Thomas became a super point guard averaging 28.9 points per game, and even made the Celtics trade Isaiah Thomas for Irving.

Without Stevens, Isaiah Thomas immediately returned to mediocrity from the illusion of a top-paid player.

It's just that Stevens is still too young now and can only come up with some tactics with average effects. In fact, the last three consecutive victories were also related to Nash's too perfect execution.
