In New York in August, the weather is starting to get warmer.

On this day, in the Island Garden Arena, home of the New York Hans.

It's different from before, because the arena is extremely lively today.

Today in this arena, a player meeting for the New York Hans will be held.

Not only the team's management had to dress up to participate, but all the members of Bruce and the Hanren team also wore the team's team logo and jerseys newly released by the "Yu Lin" brand this year.

First of all, the team's logo has also been modified. The yellow dragon, which is different from the first set of team logos, is no longer holding the blue ball. The "Habayashi" brand is now changed to the style of a red dragon swallowing the ball, with the dragon in front of the ball.

At the back, it wraps up the basketball like a snake. There are five red five-pointed stars printed on the tail behind the dragon, arranged from small to large at the tail.

In addition, considerable changes have been made to the jersey. Different from the first jersey released in 1992 when the team was first established, the "Harelin" brand has slightly changed the jersey. This jersey is still mainly black.

, the collar and cuffs are complemented by bright orange, making the entire jersey more solemn, like ancient black-armored warriors.

This black shirt also has a domineering name called "Black Storm"!

Wearing this black jersey, the Han players should be able to experience the passionate feeling of fighting on the battlefield.

To be honest, even Bruce, wearing the smallest number 17 "Black Storm", looks so handsome and cool that it is simply indescribable.

Of course, this jersey still had Bruce’s input and was mainly designed by the “Harelin” brand.

What is different from other teams in the league in the 1990s is that the New York Hans' black jersey only uses red slightly above the chest number and does not also print the team's team logo.

On the jersey.

Like other teams that put most of their team logos on their jerseys, the Blues felt it was nondescript. Anyway, they looked like circus clowns wearing those jerseys.

As the owner of the team, Bruce must have his own number jersey, so Bruce chose No. 17, the number he was born in, as his "exclusive" number jersey.

No matter how many times it is updated, this No. 17 jersey will belong to Bruce alone for life. Like the jerseys of retired NBA stars, Bruce's No. 17 jersey will also be retired in the team's dedicated arena in the future.

.

Of course, Bruce will not favor one against another. As early as yesterday, his general manager Mitch Kupchak gave all the players on the team their own numbered jerseys.

Note: Jersey numbers of all New York Hans players:

Scott Brooks (No. 1), Jason Kidd (No. 5), Jermaine O'Neal (No. 7), Aaron McGee (No. 8), Dan Marley (No. 9)

Mark Jackson (No. 13), Sam Perkins (No. 14), Kevin Garnett (No. 21), Ricky Pierce (No. 22), Kobe Bryant (No. 24)

Alonzo Mourning (No. 33), Mike Brown (No. 40), Glenn Rice (No. 41), Buck Williams (No. 52)

Basically every player's number for the New York Hans was chosen by themselves.

Of course, except for Kobe's jersey number. Kobe originally wanted to choose jersey No. 8, but Bruce stopped him.

Nonsense, if you didn’t choose Kobe’s No. 24 jersey in his previous life, who else would you want to give it to?

However, when Kobe asked Bruce why he asked him to choose the No. 24 jersey, Bruce could only pretend to say something that would affect Kobe's life.

"The meaning of No. 24 is 24 hours. I hope you put all your energy into basketball, which is why I asked you to choose No. 24. If you can't devote yourself to it, then you Kobe will not be Kobe. So.

No. 24 is your best interpretation, and No. 24 only represents you, Kobe."

Seeing Kobe's "enlightened" expression, Bruce rolled his eyes, please, this is what you said in your previous life, and now I just use my own mouth to return it to you...

Since all the players on the team wore such domineering jerseys, before the player meeting began, Bruce also took a family photo with the whole team using the "Black Storm" jerseys distributed by the "Habayashi" brand.

…

Sitting on the stage were Bruce, general manager Mitch Kupchak and head coach Paul Westphal.

The people sitting in the audience were all players and coaching staff of the New York Hans.

Since it is a player meeting, how could we not invite local media reporters!

"Ahem, let me say a few words first."

"Girls and gentlemen, first of all, I am very happy that you can take the time to come to the Island Garden Arena to participate in the player meeting of the New York Han Chinese in the new season."

"..."

"It's a new season again. Since it's a new season, the New York Hans must also have a new atmosphere!"

"As we all know, several outstanding coaches on the New York Hans coaching staff left the team last season. They also went to new platforms to realize their dreams for their own ideals. On behalf of all the New York Hans staff, I would like to express my best wishes.

They have a bright future.”

"So our management is going to adjust the team's coaching staff. In addition, we have also recruited several good coaches to come back and improve our team."

"Now it's up to general manager Mitch Kupchak to announce the appointments of the coaching staff."

Phew, I finally have time to drink some water. I’m really tired from talking so much.

"Hello everyone, I am Mitch Kupchak, general manager of the New York Hans, and I will announce the appointment of the team's coaching staff."

"First of all, the head coach of the New York Hans is Paul Westphal."

The players from the following teams all welcomed him warmly.

After all, head coach Paul Westphal has been highly respected in the team in recent years, and many people in the team believe in him.

(Any appointment announced later will be applauded by the team members, so I won’t describe it one by one)

"The New York Hans' chief assistant coach is Rick Carlisle."

Rick Carlisle was finally promoted to a regular position. During his two years with the team, Rick Carlisle used his wit to provide the head coach with many novel tactical ideas from time to time. It can be said that Rick Carlisle became the chief assistant coach.

Well deserved.

"The offensive coach of the New York Hans is Li Qiuping."

Li Qiuping was one of the assistant coaches in the team in the past few years, and his reputation is not outstanding, but who made him a Chinese? Bruce, as the team owner, is also a Chinese. How can Chinese people help Chinese people abroad?

.

"The New York Hans defensive coach is Mike Woodson."

The team's new coach is pretty good, but he will make do in the player era. Anyway, he can't recruit the right person at this stage. Let's deal with it first. Those well-known defensive coaches in the past have not yet retired.

time.

"The New York Hans strength and conditioning coach is Tim Grugulic."

Let’s talk about this coach. In his previous life, Grugulic had a long coaching experience in both college and professional leagues. He is recognized as one of the best coaches in the league who specializes in coaching young players.

Every summer, he holds a training camp designed to help young players adapt to the intensity of NBA training. He will provide individual guidance to each player. His training camp is so successful that many teams will send

Their assistant coaches came to study. Even some head coaches and team general managers would visit occasionally. Grugulic’s first success story was the young Gary Payton. At that time, every summer, Payton would visit

Oakland accepted the guidance of Grugulic. Later, Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin and Shawn Kemp also became his students. Since then, Grugulic has become more and more popular among young players.

Welcome, no NBA player would not respect such a coach who has taught him so much.

Although Grugulic is good at teaching young players, the Han Chinese team currently has a lot of new players, so he is barely qualified to be the physical coach. Anyway, he has one specialty and multiple abilities, so he can do physical fitness and train new players at the same time.

Bruce personally hired this great guy, and he also had to promise that he could arrange his own time after the season. Not only would he serve the New York Hans, but he would also provide guidance for other newcomers.

(In addition, the Hans have recruited Dan Burke as video coordinator and scout)

"Okay, this is the coaching team of the New York Hans for the new season. I hope the team can achieve better results in the new season with their help."
Chapter completed!
