"It would be nice if I could draw a skill about three points later, by the way, it seems that Brother Dazhi has a super long three-point skill, and if you save enough trading points at that time, you can buy it from him!" Li Tuanjie thought silently in his heart.

Three points is not something that you can practice hard, sometimes it depends on talent, and if you learn with skills, it is not, as long as you work hard, you have the possibility of practicing it to the top!

……

After watching Li Tuanjie's three-point training, the Mavericks didn't say anything, this three-point shooting rate is not good, and there are even some pitfalls, but it also shows that Li Tuanjie, a rookie player, has three-point ability.

Head coach Johnson was beaming, as if he hadn't taken Lee's somewhat low shooting percentage to heart.

"Haha, that's good! It's really good, although the shooting percentage is a little low, but the shot height, posture, and speed are good, and if you train hard, I think our Dallas Mavericks will soon have another big man three-pointer! ”

"Well, coach, I'll try!" Li Tuanjie nodded and said!

Judging from the current lineup of the Mavericks, Li Tuanjie will definitely be able to get playing time, and the playing time will definitely not be too small, at least more than ten minutes of playing time can be guaranteed!

But if Li Tuanjie can't continue to improve his strength, then his playing time this season will basically remain at ten minutes, after all, Dirk Nowitzki is currently in his prime, and it is still easy to play an average of 35 minutes per game.

And Li Tuanjie, as Nowitzki's substitute, will only replace Nowitzki's absence for twelve or thirteen minutes at most!

After only playing about 12 minutes, this obviously can't satisfy Li Tuanjie, and his goal this season is to play an average of 20 minutes per game for the Mavericks!

Obviously, if Lee plays 20 minutes, it will definitely overlap with Nowitzki's playing time!

"Get my offensive ability up to speed as soon as possible, so maybe Avery Johnson will try some more alternative lineups, so I can get more playing time!" Li Tuanjie thought silently in his heart.

The so-called alternative lineup, according to Li Tuanjie's idea, when his offensive ability is more comprehensive, such as having a relatively stable three-point shooting ability, Johnson can completely put himself on the court and form a double anti-aircraft artillery lineup with Nowitzki, Li Tuanjie can open up space for the German anti-aircraft artillery, and Nowitzki can also open up space for Li Tuanjie, the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery!

Of course, this is just Li United in YY, if this lineup is really used, it will be a little too alternative, the lineup of the inner twin towers, there has been a double artillery lineup in the league? It really hasn't happened......

……

After generally figuring out the immediate combat power of Li Tuanjie, Johnson specially arranged for the Mavericks' player training team to do some special training for Li Tuanjie this summer!

……

More than two months have passed, and the time has also entered October, and fans who are familiar with the NBA know that the NBA offseason will end in October, and some NBA practitioners have also begun to get busy.

On October 3rd, Li Tuanjie followed the Mavericks to do the last day of training, and the preseason will be two days away, in order to make a good start, so after today's training, they will suspend the team's training and let the players have a good rest.

More than two months is not a long time, but Li Tuanjie feels extremely long!

In the past two months, Li Tuanjie has really worked hard, he has squeezed out almost every minute and every second of his training skills, and as the NBA game is approaching, he wants to improve his strength as much as possible!

Since Stanford International is only half an hour's drive from the training ground, Li Tuanjie still lives in the school and takes the subway to the training ground every morning to train.

Practice until noon, buy some food around the training ground to satisfy your hunger, rest for a little time, and continue to train until the Mavericks players come to the training camp in the afternoon, and then train with the team!

When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, he was not idle at all, first entered the virtual space, finished the virtual game once a day, earned skill proficiency, and then began to practice three points on the virtual court!

……

On October 5th, the NBA preseason officially kicked off, and the Mavericks, as the team with the first record in the West last season, received a lot of attention, and they will definitely play the opening game of the preseason!

In the offseason, there are certainly many teams with personnel changes, and the preseason can provide a good opportunity for these teams to grind in the roster, and after a few months of silence, the NBA also needs preseason games to heat up the atmosphere for the main game.

When Li Tuanjie learned about their opponent in the first game of the preseason, he had mixed feelings......

The first opponent of the Dallas Mavericks, the Houston Rockets!

Speaking of which, the league's arrangement also has their intentions, the Rockets and Mavericks are both in Texas, the distance is very close, there is no need for players to run around and work hard, after all, the preseason is not counted in the regular season record, in most cases, the principle of proximity is adopted, find a team close to play.

The second reason is on Li Tuanjie......

Nowadays, China's market has become a big piece of fat, Yao Ming's success has completely exploded the number of domestic fans, and the NBA is also very greedy for this piece of fat, and they want to develop China's basketball market more deeply!

When it comes to the development of the Chinese market, we have to mention the current president of the NBA league, David Stern, who said that the rise of the NBA league really depends on Jordan, in fact, not necessarily, David Stern also played a vital role in the rise of the NBA league!

Stern's dedication is obvious to all, how much can he be dedicated?

In 1989, in order to develop the Chinese market, Stern went to China to negotiate with CCTV for broadcasting, and in the eyes of CCTV leaders, David Stern was just a foreign businessman, so he didn't care......

In the cold winter, David Stern waited outside for more than an hour, and finally met the leader, of course, the result was good, he successfully opened the Chinese market......

Later, as the Chinese market became bigger and bigger, the NBA also paid enough attention to the Chinese market!

In this preseason opener, they played the idea of attracting Chinese fans, the Chinese derby!

Although Wang Zhizhi's career and Yao Ming have a brief intersection, the status of the two in the NBA is obviously not a heavyweight, so there is no way to engage in derby gimmicks.

And now Li Tuanjie has been born, although there is still a big gap from Yao Ming, but in any case, Li Tuanjie is also a lottery pick in the NBA draft!
