Chapter Twenty-Four: Call Me Li Da Hammer
If nothing else, the Nets coached by Chuck Daly will start the season with Guillermo, Coleman, Chris Morris, Edwards and Kenny Anderson.
The line-up is certainly not flawless, with Guillermo being too short in the centre-forward position at 206 cm, not as tall as Coleman at 208.
Edwards and Kenny Anderson at the back both had a history of injuries last season, and it is unclear what their form will be this season.
However, it is not easy for the Nets to save such a lineup, after all, they have just experienced the heavy blow of Pietrovic's death.
……
At the start of the training camp in mid-September, Davidson was directly stationed at the training ground by Chuck Daley.
Since he decided to lead Davidson down this path, Chuck Daly naturally had to let Davidson learn more and participate in every matter as much as possible, only in this way can Davidson grow as quickly as possible.
Davidson is also happy to be in it, but the only thing that is a little dissatisfied is that Muresan is always bullied.
Especially Coleman, the big leader of the team, bullied Muresan enough.
Running errands, buying drinks, buying donuts, these things are just that, every newcomer comes over like this.
But some of Coleman's actions were quite excessive.
For example, from time to time, let the first eldest man in history, Murraysan, stand under the basket and be a live target for his own dunk, in order to satisfy his perverted bad taste.
Coleman's nickname is "Babe", not a jewel kind, but a nickname between the couple's family, "Babe", which at first glance sounds like a player with a milder personality.
Judging by what he did to Muressan, this thing is really not a good bird.
Is Davidson angry? It's already an itchy tooth of gas.
Muraysan is his own player, that is his own family.
His family was so humiliated that Davidson wanted to pick Coleman's skin.
But Davidson's teeth itched with hatred for Coleman, and he couldn't do anything with the other party.
Bullying newcomers, this is a tradition, and there are countless more than Coleman, not to mention that Coleman is the big boss of the Nets right now.
Once Davidson and Coleman clashed, it was certain that Davidson's career as a minor assistant would be over.
There are countless head coaches who have been fired because of conflicts with the team's signboard, and there is no possibility of Davidson's assistant being spared.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if it is a head coach of Chuck Daley's rank, if he really has a hard time with Coleman, it is difficult to say who the team chooses to keep, and even Coleman will have a greater chance of winning.
Davidson naturally doesn't do stupid things, he still has some self-control.
……
Murraysan comes from a foreign country, and his temperament is quite honest, and he can only swallow the grievances of being bullied, but fortunately he is accompanied by Davidson, otherwise this kind of day may really make Murraysan collapse.
In just half a month, Davidson's relationship with Muresan has reached the point of intimacy.
……
On October 3, Davidson entered the club again and found Sledgehammer.
Tomorrow is the day of the pre-season game, and both are a little excited.
Davidson is about to have his first game in the industry, although this game has little to do with him, and if it weren't for Chuck Daley, he might not even qualify.
And Sledgehammer will play with his second natal player tomorrow night, and he is also excited at the moment.
"By the way, Wilson, you can't call me a sledgehammer in the future." Sledgehammer Anderson said with a mysterious smile.
"Huh?" Davidson frowned suspiciously.
"A few days ago, I went to China to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and my Chinese elders named me Li Kaier." Sledgehammer is clearly quite happy with the name.
"Of course, if you really want to call Sledgehammer, call me Sledgehammer in the future......"
Davidson rolled his eyes, Lee Sledgehammer? Why does this name sound so rustic.
"Don't make a fuss, Sledgehammer, I'm here tonight to ask you about the preseason."
"You said before that there seems to be an evolution coin in the preseason, right?" Davidson got down to business.
Tomorrow is his first game, how can he care about his Wang Sledgehammer or Li Sledgehammer.
"That's right, there are indeed evolution coins to take, but it's only half of the regular season, and it's impossible to play for too long in the preseason, so it's basically negligible."
"I forgot to remind you that the career debut of a natal player, you have to pay attention to it, there may be unexpected gains, of course, I mean the regular season." Sledgehammer also got serious and shared his experience with Davidson.
Although the relationship between the two has ended, Sledgehammer is still quite responsible.
"How many evolution coins can I get in a specific game?" Davidson asked again.
"Basically, the evolution coin is rewarded according to the five benign data obtained in the game, what kind of ratio it is, each player is different, anyway, I don't know the proportion of Muresan very well."
"Generally speaking, the lower the rank of the natal player and the shorter the career period, the higher the proportion of the reward evolution coin, you can rest assured that the proportion of Muresan will definitely not be low." Sledgehammer explained with a smile.
Davidson nodded, he kind of understood why Sledgehammer would bind a second-round pick as his second life player, and there was such a reason for daring.
As for the Sledgehammer's debut, Davidson also remembered it, but he didn't know if Daddy Chuck would give Murraysan enough time to play.
……
After saying goodbye to Sledgehammer, Davidson hurried out of the club, and tomorrow was a big day for him, and he didn't want to be groggy all day.
By the afternoon of the next day, the team had been training for an hour, and then it was time for tonight's pre-season.
The Nets' first preseason game is at home, against their last season's rivals, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As you can imagine, Chuck Daly takes this game seriously.
With more than half an hour to go before the start of the game, Chuck Daley's roar could already be heard in the Nets locker room.
"This game has to be won, it's got to be won."
"This time we have a full lineup, and there is no reason to lose to the Cavaliers."
"Because it's the preseason, the main players won't play for too long, but I hope that you main players will directly beat the Cavaliers for me during the time they play."
Although Chuck Daly doesn't usually bring up the topic of last season's first-round loss in the playoffs, it is clear that he still cares a lot.
Davidson was standing behind Chuck Daley, and at the moment he breathed a sigh of relief that Muresan should be able to play tonight.
