In the eyes of many teams, the Suns are still the Suns who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Suns in the previous two years, although they have not lost a game so far this season, but the regular season has just begun, and it should be heard that winning first is not winning.

The Suns' scoring prowess certainly surprised the rest of the league, but they also conceded some of the highest points in the league.

So McMillan isn't very concerned about the Suns.

"The Suns aren't easy to play." Lu Fei said: "We play against other teams, our pace is faster than other teams, and other teams will be carried away by us, but the Suns' offense is faster than us, and it is likely that we will be led by them." ”

"No......" McMillan hesitated.

"Yes, and very likely, the most critical problem is that it's not easy for us to strangle their offense, and as for defense, they probably don't care about defense." Lu Fei said seriously: "So the next game is likely to be a matchup." ”

"Then let's go for it, I believe our offense won't lose to them." McMillan said confidently.

Lu Fei smiled: "I just want you to be mentally prepared, as long as you know what may happen." ”

"Don't need to make adjustments?" McMillan was a little suspicious, since Lu Fei entered the team, every time he chatted with himself about tactics, he would put forward his own opinions, but this time it was just a reminder, which made McMillan a little surprised.

Lu Fei stood up and put the cigarette on the table in his pocket: "Adjustment is your business, you are the head coach of the team...... Gone, smoke less in the future. ”

"Oh, okay." McMillan was stunned.

It wasn't until I heard Lu Fei's voice closing the door that I suddenly remembered: "Let me smoke less, and I didn't let you take my cigarettes away......"

……

After Lu Fei finished chatting with McMillan, he was relieved when he got home, there is no fool who can mix in the alliance, the little food in his mind is becoming more and more insufficient, and he will be analyzed by the opponent after a few games if he comes up with a style of play, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the league, the key is to rely on his true strength.

You can't stop training......

After Gu Tang returned to Boston, he always felt that he was alone, and he couldn't sleep in bed after he washed up.

That's when the phone rang.

"Hey......" Lu Fei closed his eyes and connected the phone.

"Lu Fei, it's me." A buzzing voice came from the other end of the line, "Did you sleep?" ”

Lu Fei opened his eyes, it was Battle.

"I just came back and haven't slept yet, what's wrong?"

During this time, he was either playing or training, or on the way to training, plus he didn't have much intersection with Battle, but he didn't pay special attention to Battle's affairs.

For some reason, his mind suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Battle in Athens......

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, Lu Fei was stunned, and asked, "Bus, what's wrong?" ”

"I ......" hesitated for a long time before spitting out a few words: "Unemployed......"

"Unemployed?" Lu Fei was stunned, "Aren't you the Knicks you just signed?" ”

Lu Fei also saw the news of Battle's appearance in the preseason, but he didn't expect to be cut so quickly, in fact, there were already signs before, in the last preseason game before the regular season, Battle did not appear in the team's list of players, which means that it had been abandoned at that time.

"I thought I was playing well and playing well in the preseason, but I still couldn't get the chance to stay......" Battle's voice was not too frustrated, "I'm just a little annoyed, I want to talk to someone, you know I don't have a social circle, so I can only call you in the end......"

"And what are you going to do?" Lu Fei asked.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." Battle replied.

Lu Fei frowned slightly, it seems that Battle's current situation is not very good, it is estimated that he has contacted many other teams, but he should not have received a reply.

After all, not all teams value the Chinese market, and even if they do, they will also branch into what market from Battle, and playing in this league, strength is the most important thing.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have two options right now, one is to stay in the United States and continue to look for opportunities, but you have to be prepared to go without the ball for a long time and you can't leave your competitive form behind, and the second is ...... Go back and play CBA, but it may be that the registration period has passed this year, and I don't know much about it in China, so you have to discuss it with your agent. Lu Fei knew that these Battle's team must have analyzed it for him, but he still had to say it, he paused and then continued: "Actually, I think it's ......"

"You say, it's okay." Battle Road.

Lu Fei sighed: "I think it's good to go back if I can go back." ”

"Are you going back......" Battle hesitated.

"Yes, the prime age of a player is just a few years." Lu Fei smiled and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Besides, it's the same wherever you play, there's no need to spend it in the NBA, you have been in the NBA since you were 26 years old, and you have been telling the truth yourself for more than three years, have you played a lot of games?" ”

“……”

"If a player doesn't have the ball to play, is it still called a player? Besides, what's wrong with the CBA, aren't many European players willing to play in the NBA? ”

"But I'm not willing to ......"

“……”

Lu Fei was speechless, no matter how much he said at this time, he felt a little bit standing and talking without backache, he could play in the NBA, but he persuaded others to go back to the CBA, he shouldn't say this kind of thing.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then I heard Battle say: "I need to think about it, you know that the NBA is the highest level of basketball in the world after all, and it is the temple in the hearts of all players......

Lu Fei didn't know how to comfort him, when his league level was too low, it was boring to let Battle go back.

And since Stern knocked the NBA on China's door with a videotape, many Chinese players have indeed made it their goal to enter the NBA.

But, is it worth it?

If Lu Fei said that it was not worth it, he would not be happy to let him go back to play in the CBA, but the actual situation of Battle is that he is not suitable for the NBA, to put it cruelly, his strength is not enough to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Battle is still one of China's best players, but China's best players don't necessarily play in the NBA.

Competitive sports are like this, the law of the jungle is the strong, the market is not the first element, strength is.

Before hanging up the phone, Lu Fei said the last word to Battle.

"The value of a player is on the pitch, not in a league!"

The phone hung up, Lu Fei lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, he couldn't make a decision for Battle, he could only make a little suggestion, and even the words of advice couldn't be too heavy, because he was not Battle.

In fact, many Chinese players do not need to waste time in the NBA, their strength exceeds many domestic players, but it is not up to the level of the NBA, at this time instead of wasting time in the NBA, it is better to return to the CBA to continue to play, only the level of domestic players is up, and the domestic league can play better and better.

Good players have come to the NBA to see the water cooler, and a group of rookies are left in China to peck at each other, is it interesting?

But as a player, think about it from heart to heart, everyone has a heart to chase dreams, and that's right......

"It's a dilemma."

Lu Fei covered his head with the quilt, he decided not to want to do it anymore and go to bed early.

Tomorrow, there is a game against the Suns waiting for him......

I wonder if McMillan will make adjustments?
