The sharp ridicule did not stop the Clippers from looking back. They are quickly gathering in the City of Angels and will enter training mode before other teams start training camps.
In this world, there are always some people who are willing to work harder than others.
It just so happens that this is the case for the old guys and young people on the Clippers.
Larry Brown and Mike Brown were not idle either. They participated in the Clippers' video conference interview. Dunleavy Sr. and owner Sterling personally checked.
Larry Brown, the iron-blooded coach, came well prepared. As an academic coach, he showed the tactical plan he had made for the Clippers in a video conference. He praised the advantages of the Clippers' lineup. He believed that with his tactical ability,
Coupled with Fan Xi's leadership and such a strong lineup, entering the finals in three years will not be a distant dream.
He has great leadership and speaking skills. In fact, his glorious past resume is also trustworthy. He has not only entered the finals with a superstar with a distinctive personality like Iverson, but also allowed Detroit's civilian Five Tigers to defeat the superstar.
Lakers with superstars.
However, he lost the election.
The Clippers selected Mike Brown, who looked unremarkable.
Mike Brown is a former assistant head coach, and he learned a lot from Popovich. He and James had a long honeymoon, reached the Finals, and won the NBA Coach of the Year award in the 2008-09 season.
However, all this disappeared when LeBron James left for Miami in the summer of 2010.
Mike Brown now has to find a new job, or... a new client.
He selected Fan Xi, who defeated James in last season's finals.
So, he came for an interview, and he had a video conference with the Clippers in a hotel in Los Angeles. He also prepared some of his stuff, but he only prepared the defensive aspect... He is a builder of defensive systems, and his ball
The team's defensive quality is very good.
Then old Dunleavy asked him about the offense.
He spread his palms: "With Jack here, I think the offense can be based on his characteristics."
"I will do my best to coach Jack and let him do what he wants to do. Just like in Cleveland, I let LeBron do what he wants to do. Top players are much smarter than we think, as long as we give them tactics
, giving freedom.”
Mike Brown's words sounded a bit like a hands-off shopkeeper.
But Sterling made the decision at that time and asked Mike Brown to come over and sign the contract.
Although Larry Brown has a richer resume, Sterling feels that he is not suitable for Jack. His personality is too strong and he always wants to control everything. Moreover, his style of play may not be suitable for today's NBA.
Already.
Dunleavy Sr. then called Fanci, and he and Fanci talked about Mike Brown.
Fanci affirms Mike Brown's talent.
And Dunleavy Sr. told Fan Xi what Mike Brown said in the video conference.
Fan Xi laughed loudly and said: Oops, I have become the second James.
This joke made Dunleavy Sr.'s worries go away a lot.
He knows that, no matter what, Jake Fan won't become the second LeBron James.
After solving the problem of the head coach, the Los Angeles fleet has officially taken shape. At this time, it is almost October.
The weather has become cooler, and there is even a hint of chill in the morning.
Fan Xi was photographed in gossip for a week in a row. He first went to see a movie with Scarlett Johansson. Although there was no intimate behavior during the process, they entered a certain hotel together and walked out one after another the next afternoon.
.
Scarlett was photographed with a new tattoo on the back of her neck, which is a small basketball.
This makes people wonder why Scarlett, a female star who had nothing to do with basketball in the past, suddenly tattooed a basketball on her neck.
"Who knows? I wouldn't do such a stupid thing anyway."
Jennifer Aniston responded this way when asked this question during an interview.
Because she worked with Fan Xi once, and she made it clear that she didn't like Fan Xi, she became a symbol of "Hollywood's resistance to Jack Fan's invasion" to a certain extent.
"I'm not just not interested in Jack, I'm not interested in any young boy."
Jennifer sounded like Jack Ma talking about money. "I'm not a young girl like Selena anymore."
Selena was also photographed going shopping with Fan Xi on Wednesday. She clung to Fan Xi like a sloth and followed Fan Xi to the Clippers Club. Then they returned to Selena's downtown location.
luxury apartment.
The exposure of such pictures is obviously another wave of public opinion offensive.
Everyone is fascinated by Fan Xi's intricate relationships and speculates on what the relationship is between them.
Because they were too upright, some people felt that there might be nothing between them.
"Maybe Jack just doesn't like women at all?"
The media always makes such shocking statements.
Fan Xi didn't respond anyway.
Just like his view on emotions: not taking the initiative.
The basketball media seized on Fan Xi's tidbits and made a fuss about Fan Xi's lack of professionalism.
Because at this time, the NBA training camp has officially started.
The vast majority of NBA players have returned to their posts, although they may be full of fat and hollowed out bodies.
"I think I represent old age, you represent weakness, Grant Hill represents illness, and Billups represents disability."
When Blake Griffin walked into the locker room, Rasheed Wallace was discussing the ownership of the old, weak, and disabled with Kwame Brown.
This is something Griffin has never encountered before. Now he feels that the entire team is unfamiliar. There is only one teammate left from last season, DeAndre Jordan.
"No, no, no. Rasheed, I cannot agree with this question. I am the one who is sick, my brain is not good. Grant is disabled, his athletic ability is far from the peak. You are weak, you are as weak as
It's the air. Billups, Hamilton, Carter, Nash are the old ones."
Kwame Brown has a different take.
Rasheed Wallace's eyes immediately widened. He went to fuck Kwame Brown, but Kwame Brown backhanded him and pinned him against the door of the locker room: "Brother, my mind is not good."
Then, Griffin looked at the famously irritable Rasheed Wallace and said, "Okay, okay, I agree that you are the 'patient.'"
Wallace is still very 'open-minded'.
The other teammates around them all looked at them with smiles, and no one stopped them.
Obviously, this kind of thing happens often.
Griffin came here the day after the Clippers training camp started. He had been on vacation in Hawaii. Moreover, he did not participate in some joint training before the training camp started.
He has zero contact with his new teammates.
Even after Fan Xi joined the Clippers for so long, he never called Fan Xi, and they did not follow each other on social networks, which led some media to say that they had a grudge against each other.
After all, Mike Brown has only been with the Clippers for a few days, and he and Fanci have to have at least 70 minutes of phone calls or video conferences every day, even if they meet every day.
They have already made preliminary plans for offensive tactics through high-frequency communication.
Mike Brown is stepping up his efforts to formulate the playbook. He is a engineer-type head coach.
After Griffin entered the locker room, he did not take the initiative to say hello to other players. Of course, other players did not isolate him. He is the most promising violent power forward in the NBA. Both the team and the coaching staff have high hopes for him.
, I hope he can cooperate well with Fan Xi and play a good offensive role in the new season.
When Griffin didn't take the initiative to come over to greet him, Fan Xi didn't take the initiative either.
He knew that Griffin couldn't accept this fact in his heart. Maybe he thought it was a dove occupying a magpie's nest. But now the situation was very clear. It was best for Griffin to accept it. If he couldn't accept it, he could only accept it.
The players changed their clothes and soon headed to the arena for the new season's makeup photo shoot, which would then be open to the media.
After the media day, it will be the official start of the new season.
This year the Clippers have 8 preseason games, and after that, the opening game will be against the Chicago Bulls.
The schedule for NBA’s opening game this year is particularly interesting.
In the West, the Clippers face off against the Chicago Bulls at home, which can be regarded as a battle for the league's upstarts. Although the media is now generally doubtful about the Clippers' combat effectiveness, the influence of the Clippers is almost the same as those of the teams competing for the championship.
Everyone is looking forward to the clash between the Bulls and Clippers.
In the East, the Miami Heat will face the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
In last season's finals, the Heat effectively strengthened their inside line this summer. LeBron James also learned post-up play from Olajuwon for most of the summer. In Olajuwon's words, LeBron James is already the best player in today's league.
The first post-up master.
Naturally, there is no charge for such bragging. After all, the tuition fees he received from James are enough.
After Olajuwon retired, an important source of income was to give post-up lessons to superstars. The results were good and bad. The good ones were Kobe and Yao Ming. The not-so-good ones were Howard. Howard paid the most money and had the best results.
Worst.
I don’t know what position LeBron James is in. You’ll have to play to find out.
Although the Lakers changed from Jack Fan to Chris Paul, the overall lineup did not change much. Basically, there is a consensus that the Lakers are stronger. Chris Paul's strength is not comparable to Fan Xi. He has been proven by time.
, and Fan Xi is still just a rookie.
"Jack, you should be in the middle."
Stephen Nash suddenly raised this question while taking a group photo.
Then, without any explanation, Leonard and Butler escorted Fan Xi to the left and right, with Kwame Brown clearing the way in front.
No one finds this surprising.
Vince Carter even took the initiative to hand the flower ball representing "privilege" into Fan Xi's hands from the side.
During this process, no one had any objections, and no one gave Griffin a second glance.
At this time, Griffin completely understood that this was already the shape of Jack Fan.
