Chapter 17 The preseason starts (new book seeks investment)

Because on the first day of the team's training, many contradictions were exposed.

The players were divided into several groups, one was the few who did not choose to take the team, the other was Guy supported by the coach, and Gasol, Li Tian, ​​Conley and others.

Apart from regular training every day, no one will communicate with the coach too much.

But often because everyone else has left, you will still find that Li Tian, ​​Lowry, Conley and Milicic will still stay and continue to train until very late before leaving.

Several people trained and worked together and honed their skills.

Jaffaroni was slowly changed by Li Tian's insistence, and he felt that Li Tian was a persevering person.

This is true for head coaches. In order to protect their position, as long as you have the ability to help the team win, he will use you.

"Lee, I hope you can ease the conflict with Guy, the team needs to be stable." Jaffaroni has always believed that the team's current instability is because of the initial conflict between Li Tian and Guy.

In fact, the team's problem is that on the one hand, the tactical arrangements. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is mainly about Guy and Conley, and the others are serving these two people.

The main contradiction is to turn Gasol, the highest-paid team, into a blue-collar player.

"Coach, what I can do is that he no longer targets me, and I won't care about him either. If he provokes me, I won't swallow my anger." Li Tian didn't make trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble.

Jaffaroni can only let the two play at the same time. There is only one Guy on the team who is a small forward. It is most appropriate to arrange Li Tian as a substitute and there will be no problems on the court.

This is a typical headache, a headache, a headache, and a foot.

The Grizzlies' first preseason game was played in Spain. The Grizzlies went to Spain in advance. After getting off the plane, only Gasol was still energetic.

"Do you guys want to go out together?" Gasol's proposal was not supported by any player.

They all shook their heads and walked weakly.

"Well, you guys have too little romantic cells."

Everyone can only have the strength to laugh.

"Paul, go, give up your damn romance." He pulled Gasol and left.

As Guy walked, he complained, "This is such a damn journey, so tiring, all of them are thought of by those who don't have brains."

"Too tired, Paul, I'm starting to dislike Spain, you won't mind." Conley looked at Gasol.

"Although I want to be romantic, this schedule is really damn." Gasol also doesn't like such a game, so he's too tired.

"Don't complain, what you have to do now is to stay healthy, have a good rest, and win this game, we can leave this damn place, do you understand?" Jaffaroni (will use Mark later) comforted him.

Everyone.

Although I felt tired, I was still in a state.

I am very clear about my current positioning. I must have been on the bench in the early stage as Guy's substitute.

"Li, don't you feel tired?" Lowry was curious why Li Tian had been through such a long journey and why he was still in good shape.

"It's actually very simple, that is, I don't know how many minutes I can get in the next game." It is undeniable that Li Tian worked very hard during training, and everyone can see his strength, but he will be on the court.

No one knows how it is.

"Well, I think you will surely amazed everyone. Believe in yourself, the future All-Star." Conley walked over from behind.

"Haha, future All-Stars, we must play this game well." Gasol encouraged everyone.

Mark asked everyone to go back to the hotel to rest and not prepare to go out at night. He knew that no matter how tired some players were, they would not give up hunting for beauty.

Before leaving Spain, the Grizzlies' management began to ask Mark to test Li Tian's ability more during the preseason. Because of Li Tian's arrival, some Tianchao sponsors have begun to contact the Grizzlies' management.

It's the premise that Li Tian is to play, otherwise they will never sponsor a penny, even if Li Tian is in the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies’ complaints today are not just about the Grizzlies, but many teams who want to fly overseas to participate in preseason games have more or less complained.

There are also some team head coaches who publicly bombard the league, saying that such games should not be arranged, which is a torture for players.

In the overseas preseason, Stern was for the global promotion of the NBA. If Mr. Stern had not been waiting at the gate of CCTV, the Celestial Empire would never have become popular in the NBA.

Without Stern's globalization, the NBA can only be the last in the four major leagues of the Beautiful Country.

The league will not increase its earnings every year, and players' salaries will not be able to increase so much.

Whether from the perspective of the league, the team or the players, overseas games are beneficial to all aspects, but the team and the players will not think so, which will increase their injuries and may cause them to lose money.

Career.

The Grizzlies' first preseason opponent was Unicaja in the Spanish League, in Malaga, Spain.

Back at the hotel, Mark did not ask the players to do any training.

"Everyone came here and went through a long journey. I knew everyone was tired. But there were still some things I had to say, that was tomorrow's tactical arrangement." Mark still wanted to arrange tomorrow's affairs before the players rested.

"Don't worry, I just make some simple arrangements. I will no longer follow the initial tactical arrangements, start playing from the inside line at the beginning, and create opportunities for the outside line by using the restraint of the inside line, and combine internally and externally." Mark finished this.

after.

The enthusiasm of the players was also mobilized. Such tactics made them feel a sense of existence in the team, so they were motivated and were willing to participate in the team.

When Guy heard that Mark was about to change his previous tactical arrangement, his eyes changed in a slight change.

There was no interest in Mark's arrangement.

"Okay, these are some of our arrangements tomorrow. I hope everyone can execute according to the tactics I have formulated. Discover problems in the next game and then solve these problems through the next preseason." Mark made a summary

Speak.

"Everyone goes back to the room, have a good rest, adjust the jet lag, and hope everyone can get up and play well tomorrow."

Li Tian and Conley are both rookies, so they are asked to live in the same room, and each of the other players has a room, who makes them rookies?

"Li, what did the coach talk to you?" Conley was curious about what the two of them were talking about.

"I just hope that the conflict between Guy and I can stop intensifying the conflict." Li Tian said to Conley truthfully. Even if he didn't say it, everyone would know what today's conversation was not long after.

"Okay, who is the team's focus on training?"

"What you said, aren't you also the team's key training target?"

The two of them did not communicate much, so they took a break early and prepared to welcome the next day's game.
