On the way from the office to the training hall, Li Forest smiled and looked at every office staff member of the Thunder team who passed by.

As a white-collar man in his previous life, it was the first time he had seen so much money.

The annual income of the middle class in the United States at this time is only about 50,000 US dollars, 170,000 US dollars, which is already three times the salary of middle-class Americans, and the annual income of the white-collar dick Li Forest in the previous life is only 100,000 yuan, which is converted into less than 20,000 US dollars.

"Xiao Ma Xiao Erlang, carrying a schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain ......"

Li Forest walked back to the training hall singing children's songs very childishly, and at this time, the players of the Thunder team were already in full swing training.

Li Linlin confirmed the signing of the contract, and all the players knew about it yesterday, so it was not surprising that everyone saw him come to train today.

Westbrook had just finished practicing a set of mid-range shots, and then looked at Li Forest who came over and said, "Lee, congratulations on signing a new contract, you are going to have a treat in the evening!" ”

"Haha, Russell, your salary is much higher than Li's, and I didn't see you entertain at the beginning!" Collison, who was next to him, interrupted.

"I'm still a rookie, how can you have a high salary, my salary is used to buy a house, by the way, I don't have any money next time I go to a nightclub."

"Haha."

Li Linlin smiled happily, he also knew that Wei Shao was joking, Americans rarely have such a treat, and most of the time it is AA.

At this time, Willow's annual salary is $3.49 million, which is in the middle of the middle with the Thunder, and the highest salary on the team is Malik Rose, who is recovering from injury, with $7.65 million.

After that, it's Collisson, and his salary is also $6.35 million.

As far as the Thunder as a whole is concerned, the salary structure of the team is very reasonable, with a total of only about $68 million. The main main force is all rookies, and the salaries are not high, so there will be no luxury tax trouble in the short term.

Marik Cross is an alumnus of Chamberlain, and he is now playing the role of a veteran with the Thunder, whose locker room experience is valued by Thunder management, but it doesn't really make a big difference, and now the team is infinitely close to buying him out.

On the pitch, several players who did not travel to the road due to injury have returned to the pitch, Don Yell Marshall, Desmond Mason, Chaki Atkins and Sapo Soflosa.

There are 3 places competing with Lee Forest, Sapo Soflosa, Kyle Weaver, Earl Watson, Westbrook, the coach is ready to transfer him to the starter in the near future, so these three are currently competing with Lee Forest for the bench rotation, and there are fewer guards in the Thunder team.

Drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 13th pick in the first round of the 2006 draft and later traded to the Thunder, Sabo Sephorosa is the first Swiss to play in the NBA, standing 2.01 meters tall and averaging 8.5 points per game.

Earl Watson, a 2001 supersonic draft rookie, averages 6.6 points per game.

Kyle Weaver, who averages 5.5 points per game.

I have to say that the Thunder really don't pay attention to the guard line, but there are a lot of forward players, not to mention Durant, who has averaged 25.5 points per game so far this season, Jeff Green is also averaging 16.5 points per game, and there are a bunch of forwards on the bench......

Scoring depends on the forward line, which is also related to the arrangement of head coach Brooks, who is also a rookie coach and has a very single tactic.

But he has a good hand at the tuning of rookies, and Durant has improved very quickly under his guidance.

The Thunder now does not have a player who can be called a shooter, so Li Forest's most accurate positioning is quite accurate.

At present, the Thunder's most accurate is Durant, who leads the team with a 47% two-point shooting rate and 42% three-point shooting rate this season, but Durant can't be called a shooter.

Wei Shao inherited the title of Durant's iron god last season, and the iron has reached a new level, with an average shooting rate of less than 40% per game, and a three-point shooting rate of only 27%, which simply distorted the basket on the court.

Jeff Green isn't bad, shooting 44 percent from two-point range and 38 percent from three-point range, he has a high basketball IQ and doesn't have amazing athleticism, but he has a hand both with his back to the basket and against the basket.

Jeff Green has a good matchup, with the offensive skills of a power forward and good outside marking. The passing vision is also clear, and the shooting ability is average.

But he's a versatile offensive duo who can handle the ball or play low singles, and has excellent wing defense, but his shooting is erratic, he lacks signature skills, his aggression comes and goes, and he can't defend power forwards.

These three are the top three players in the Thunder's current scoring rankings, and two are forwards.

Li Forest's competitors are not strong, and it is also due to the fact that the Thunder guard line is originally weak, and the most powerful Wei Shao on the guard line is still lost on the road of life, which is one of the reasons why Brooks decided to sign Li Forest.

The current lineup of the Thunder team is a bit different, there is no special strength on the inside, the fast break can't play, the guard is not strong enough, and a bunch of forwards and useless insiders are hoarded, which has led to the Thunder's record not going up.

There are 4 members of the Thunder coaching staff,

Coach; Brooks

Offensive Coach: Jack, responsible for the development of offensive tactics;

Defensive Coach: Smack, responsible for the development of defensive tactics;

Strength and Conditioning Coach: Stokes, responsible for physical training;

After saying hello to Coach Brooks, Lee Forest went over to find Jack first, and Jack was in charge of the Thunder's offensive tactical arrangements.

Li Linlin also has to communicate with him about his tactical arrangements first, don't TM arrange for himself to go head-to-head when the time comes, Wei Shao and Durant have the ability to do this, but he can't.

Thinking of his attributes, he felt a pit and was evaluated as C.

"Lee, congratulations on signing the contract." Jack said as he looked at Li Forest who came over.

"Thank you, I wouldn't have been able to stay without Coach Jack's help." Li Forest said.

"Well, Lee, what's the matter?" Seeing that Li Forest came over deliberately during training, Jack knew that Li Forest had something to look for him.

"Coach, that's right, I want to know what my tactical arrangements are?"

"Well, if you don't come to me, I'll communicate with you, Coach Brooks is ready to arrange for you to enter the rotation and play the sixth man in the next game, and he has specially designed a personal ball-handling offensive strategy for you."

Coach Jack said happily to Li Linlin, the special tactical design shows that Li Linlin's status in Brooks's heart has improved.

"I'm dizzy".

Sure enough, Coach Brooks, who is obsessed with "singles" tactics, has turned his butcher knife at him.

"Coach, that's right, I'm actually a shooter, and I don't like it very much when I attack with the ball." The more Li Forest spoke, the quieter he became.

How could his technical characteristics be hidden from Jack, this coach has been coaching him for three years.

"What? Lee, you're not kidding, are you? Shooter? Your shots have been very inconsistent, how can you be a shooter. ”

Coach Jack was surprised that Li Forest said such a thing, Li Forest did not show any potential as a shooter in his three years of coaching.

"Coach, that's right, I seem to have found the rhythm and skill of shooting in recent times, and I'm a lot more accurate, you know, my talent doesn't support me to play with the ball now, if I really want to play with the ball, it will affect the team's integrity."

Li Forest touched the sweat on his head and explained to Coach Jack with difficulty.

Jack still looked incredulous, after all, it was indeed a bit difficult to reverse Li Linlin's impression in his heart in the past three years.

"When you play against the Lakers, you play with the ball and play very well."

"Coach, that day I felt like I was in shape. Didn't you notice that almost all of my three-pointers were made? Li Forest continued to quibble.

Jack thought about it, and it seemed that Li Linlin basically scored three-point shots, and some of them were two-point shots that broke through.

"Okay, so how do you prove you're a shooter? It's hard for me to convince Coach Brooks. ”

"It's easy, I'll go to the court and show you now, don't you see my hit rate."

Jack looked at Li Forest as if he was joking.

Also ready to look at what he called the "shooter" proof,

The two came to the pitch and asked the players who were training to get out of the way.

Jack was ready to see what it was like to find the shot that Lee Forest said.

"Lee, Jack, what are you doing?" Brooks spotted the anomaly here.
