After competing in Las Vegas, Liu Han returned to Los Angeles to continue his training, and Safina continued to travel to New York to finish the last shots of her first film.

After returning to Los Angeles, Liu Han found his own rhythm in training camp, preferring to sweat in the arena rather than dealing with a group of hypocritical businessmen.

While Liu was training hard in the arena with Steve Nash, Ray Allen, and the Bruins' college players, Coach Del Harris submitted his resignation to Lakers management.

The reason for Del Harris's resignation was ostensibly that he had physical problems, a bad heart, and could no longer be stimulated in basketball games, but the real reason was that Del Harris felt that his ability was about to catch up with the changes of the Lakers. Since Liu Han joined the Lakers, Del Harris's tactical thinking has been greatly impacted, which made Del Harris very uncomfortable for a while, and at the same time, the use of Liu Han has changed, although in the end Del Harris buried his head in thinking for a long time and gradually found some tricks on how to make Liu Han's role on the court play the biggest trick, but the reality is that the Lakers stumbled all the way.

Del Harris has never been a strong coach, he always treats his players as equals, which makes him very popular with players, but again, he struggles to use superstars well. Del Harris, who knows his shortcomings, chose to give up after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't want to suffer infamy after he was sixty years old, now that he has achieved fame and won the championship, it's time to enjoy some relaxation, it's tiring to be a coach, it's even more tiring to be a head coach, it's very tiring to be the head coach of the Lakers, this is the experience that Del Harris has summed up as a coach for many years.

Del Harris's resignation surprised the Lakers management, but since the other party's reasons are sincere, the Lakers management is not good at making trouble for this old man who is the team's meritorious coach, so the Lakers let Coach Harris leave after making up Del Harris's salary for the whole year of 97, and the most important thing for the Lakers is to find a coach who is suitable for the current Lakers.

Del Harris also had a conversation with general manager Jerry West before leaving the Lakers.

"Jerry, I'm sorry, I don't think I'm a good fit for the Lakers right now, so I'm leaving." Harris didn't hide it from Jerry West, who was a fairly pleasant person to work with.

"You've done a great job, Del, we're the champions. But do you have any advice for future replacements? "Jerry West hopes that Del Harris, who is very familiar with the team, can give a little better advice.

"Jerry, first of all, I have to make sure, who is the core of the team in the future?"

"It's obvious, Del, it's definitely Liu, and this is God's gift to Los Angeles." Although Jerry West is a little worried that the league will target the Lakers in the future, for now, there is no more suitable core for the Lakers than Liu Han.

"Since this is the case, then we have to find a coach who knows how to use Liu, in the use of Liu, in fact, many people have fallen into misunderstandings, although I also recognize this, but I can't find a suitable way, so I can say that Liu is the most suitable coach for the current Lakers." A year of getting along with each other made Del Harris appreciate Liu Han very much, and this young man who put all his mind into basketball made Del Harris feel the simple charm.

"You're right, thank you, Del, and I wish you a great time in the rest of your life, and of course I look forward to seeing you join the NBA again." Del Harris has told Lakers management that he's going to have a long vacation ahead.

While the Lakers were focusing on all the well-known coaches who were at home, Liu Han's training camp welcomed two newcomers, O'Neal returned to Los Angeles after having had enough of playing on the beaches in Hawaii, he did not refuse Liu Han's invitation, and it was O'Neal's goal to continue to hone and cooperate with Liu Han, and he hoped to create his own dynasty in the future.

Coach George Krent finally recruited a lot of young talent for the UCLA Bruins after a long period of invitation, and there is actually a lot of credit for Liu Han, and many young players who have become famous in high school are also looking forward to the coach who has cultivated a superstar like Liu Han to invite him to join the Bruins.

George Krent is one of the people who is most familiar with Liu Han's talent, and if it weren't for his strong recommendation back then, Liu Han might not have been able to join UCLA.

After two years of polishing, George Krent has his own set of basketball philosophy, he is very optimistic about the team's outside projection ability, in George's mind, the future development trend of the NBA must be to agility, speed and scoring development, NBA management hopes that basketball can attract more audiences, and wonderful goals and offense is a big magic weapon to attract fans, and George feels that the future NBA players' attack range will be farther and farther, and teams will pay more attention to the speed advantage of players, The era of the big center is coming to an end, and he admires the theory put forward by Pat Riley, who believes that the future of basketball will be a team of five super-fast, super-efficient forwards who are about two meters tall. At the same time, George Krent also admired the old Nelson of the league, who has always been known for his crazy offense, although the opponent's tactics of almost giving up defense made George a little disdainful, but the old Nelson's understanding of offense can be described as unmatched.

O'Neal has just arrived at the training camp and has encountered a lot of problems, his weight has gained quickly, although it makes O'Neal look more aggressive on the inside, but he finds that his cooperation with Liu Han is always a little sluggish.

George Krent soon realized this, and although he wasn't the coach of the Lakers, he liked the big man who was happy all the time, and George felt it was necessary to remind O'Neal.

"Shaq, are you consciously gaining weight?" George's words made O'Neill blush a little, to be honest, he wasn't consciously gaining weight, but he didn't manage himself well during the holidays, and the high-calorie and sweet food made O'Neill a little overwhelmed.

"George, don't you think I'll have an advantage on the inside after I gain weight?" O'Neill was a little stiff-mouthed at first.

"Shaq, first of all, do you want to play basketball for 20 years or do you want to play 10 years for yourself?"

"Of course I've been playing longer, I love basketball, and I didn't join the NBA just for money and glory." Now O'Neill still has the enthusiasm of young people, if it is another three years, I believe that O'Neill will have a hard time listening to George's words.

"Shaq, first of all, I'll give you an analogy, your feet are like the foundations of a building, there's a limit to how much weight they can hold, and as you put a lot of weight on your feet and knees year after year, it's also wearing out, and when you wear out more than that, you get hurt and affect your career. Any idea why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was able to score 38,387 points? On the one hand, he's got a lot of technical strength, and on the other hand, he's got a long career, he's been in great physical shape, and seriously, Shaq, you've got the talent, you're technically solid, and I think you have the potential to hit for higher scores. ”

George Crent's words left O'Neal pondering, he had never thought of this before, and no one had ever taught him this, O'Neal had always used his physical strengths to play. (To be continued.) )
