Chapter 120 The first little brother

This time, the Heat participated in the Orlando Summer League, with only five teams participating in it.

Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Heat.

Only then did Chen Mo realize that in the game, he not only met the No. 1 pick James, but also met the No. 1 pick Milicic.

The competition starts on July 15 and lasts for 5 days, and it is actually a round-robin round.

Chen Mo arrived in Miami on July 12. If he had an apartment, he would temporarily live in the apartment provided by the Heat.

Two bedrooms and one living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, and more importantly, Chen Mo can use it for free, which is quite good.

As soon as he arrived in the United States, Chen Mo learned about something that the Kobe Eagle County incident broke out.

There has not been much news exposed in recent days, but this does not prevent major media from reporting freely.

So, in recent days, news about Eagle County and Kobe's arrest has been rampant.

However, the judicial procedures in the United States are very complicated, and more news will probably appear in the short term.

Chen Mo just ate a melon. Back then, he was eating melons from a distance, but now he can finally eat melons from a close distance.

The next day, when Chen Mo came to the team to report, the first person he saw was Spolscola.

The head coach of the Heat during his Big Three looks very young now.

"Chen, welcome your arrival, do you need to adapt first?"

"No, I've been training."

"That would be great. Maybe you can play on the first day of the game."

When Chen Mo appeared in the stadium, the teams playing in the summer league had gathered.

Not everyone can report to the team just as Chen Mo is like this.

Even so, when it comes to the summer league, everyone knows that Chen Mo is the core.

In the team, Chen Mo met many people, including last year's rookie Rasour, and this year's rookie, Blake and Mo Williams.

They all need to work hard in the summer league and strive for playing time in the official game.

As second round picks, they are in a pretty good condition, with at least one guaranteed contract.

The rest are basically players who sack the draft, the Development League, or play overseas, who return to the NBA to seek an opportunity.

For example, Haslem is a relatively familiar player, but he also lost the draft last year.

"Chen, let's talk about the style of play and tactics about the summer league."

“Summer League?”

Chen Mo was a little flattered. He was just a rookie. The coach wanted to discuss tactics with him?

Well, he can't think too much about it. No one cares about the summer league game.

The only function is perhaps to make the rookies adapt to NBA games as much as possible and then inspect marginal players.

As for Spolscola, although he was the head coach of the Big Three, now his identity is only Pat Riley's disciple.

Even among assistant coaches, he is not the first assistant coach, and his main job is actually scouting.

Chen Mo is the new core determined by Pat Riley, and is the player the Heat is focused on.

As long as he can play, Chen Mo is naturally the next core player of the Heat, and Spoelscola naturally needs to establish a good relationship with Chen Mo.

"Yes, in the summer league, I plan to let you play about 24 minutes per game, that is, two quarters."

Spolscola made the words clear in advance, mainly because he was worried that Chen Mo would not understand.

"No problem, I absolutely obey the coach's arrangement."

Of course, Chen Mo is not a brainless person. He wants to pretend to be a big shot. It is also worthwhile to have a good relationship with colleagues.

Seeing Chen Mo so much, Spoelscola was naturally very happy and conducted a tactical exercise.

It mainly arranges tactics for Chen Mo, including the tactics of running the ball or running the ball, and the tactics of attacking with the ball.

At the beginning, Spolscola mainly targeted the tactics of running without asking for positioning, setting up covers and passing balls.

But later, there were several not-so-good opportunities. After Chen Mo took the ball, he took the initiative to attack with the ball.

Spoelscola then realized that Chen Mo's explosive power was not too strong, and it was impossible to pass the defensive players in one step.

However, Chen Mo handled it very well using the pick-and-roll of the inside player, whether it was his own attack or passing the ball.

Spoelscola then realized that Chen Mo's ball control and passes had actually improved a lot.

The last time I saw Chen Mo was during the trial training, and Chen Mo did not perform like this at that time.

No, there was no tactic in that trial. Anyone who got the ball was always single, so there was no chance for Chen Mo to perform.

I heard that Chen Mo has been training hard this holiday, otherwise there would not be so much improvement.

Spolscola thought for a while and immediately passed the message to Pat Riley, who was on vacation.

As one of the tactical cores of next season, Chen Mo's tactical status is very important, and news about him is naturally very important.

"Hi, Chen, hello, I'm Steve."

"Chen Mo."

"Where do you live? Do you have a place to find yourself?"

"No, I just live in the apartment provided by the team, it's pretty good."

"Is that so? I live there too, besides me, there is Mo!"

Steve Blake is talking about Mo Williams. The three of them are rookies, so they naturally have common topics.

"Hello, Chen."

"Hello, I've watched your college game, it's great!"

"Thanks!"

Compared to Blake, Mo Williams is a little cold, which is related to his personality.

However, he treated Chen Mo and Blake, who were both first-year graders, quite good attitude.

"By the way, and he, Udunis, he lost the election last year and has been back this year."

"Is that so, that's a bit amazing."

Chen Mo said in surprise: "What I said is true. Your performance just now is very good."

"Thank you, Chen!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Chen Mo's attitude is very good, and he does not have the pride of a high-ranking player at all, which makes the three of them feel very comfortable.

Even Mo Williams, who is a little cold-hearted, will not ignore Chen Mo's communication.

Although it is just a team in the summer league, there are really many small groups in a team of more than ten people.

For example, the newcomer group of Blake and Mo Williams, and of course, Haslem.

and an old team member group composed of Ken Johnson and Sean Lampley.

and those groups that are in the Development League, or are excluded by other teams, come to find opportunities.

Chen Mo's status is a bit transcendent. After all, he is definitely the main force next season, not the group of people who are worried about the contract.

Even though Ken Johnson and others were old players, they did not do anything to Chen Mo.

As for the popular NBA culture of bullying newcomers, to be honest, it has nothing to do with their marginalized people.

"Udunis, where do you live?"

After the training is over, everyone is ready to leave and will not go to Orlando after gathering tomorrow morning.

Haslem was obviously embarrassed when he said this: "I have no problem. I have agreed with the coach and I will deal with it all night in the arena."

Of course, Chen Mo asked only when he knew the situation. When he heard this, he immediately said in surprise.

"How do you live in the stadium? Let's go, get on my side, you can rest for one night in my place."

This is the future Ha team. Even Wade will treat him as the captain.

"No need, Chen, I..."

"Let's go, we'll be teammates soon, so it's time to help each other."

Haslem was a little uncertain: "Chan, are you saying it true? Is it the coach?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I really think you're amazing, really!"

If it were someone else, Chen Mo would not dare to bring people home casually, but Haslem's character is still very guaranteed.

In the end, Haslem followed Chen Mo back to the player's apartment, and he was indeed an empty room.

Chen Mo originally planned to make some fitness equipment into a simple gym. It was too late to set up the decoration, but it just came in handy.

"Thank you, Chen."

"Udunis, you've said it many times."
