"How does it feel?" Li Wei asked Da Yao with a smile.

Da Yao smiled bitterly: "That guy is really strong, like Daben, he can't hold it no matter how he tops!" ”

Li Wei said: "It's good to get used to it." This is just an average center in the NBA, and if you want to survive in this league, you will encounter such opponents every day in the future! ”

Da Yao nodded and said, "I will continue to work hard, and I will practice more tomorrow!" ”

Li Wei said: "Forget about additional training, your training amount is enough, and it is easy to get injured if you practice more." I'm saying all this to keep your faith and don't be lazy! ”

Da Yao said: "Don't worry, David, I will never be lazy!" ”

After replacing Da Yao, after a while, Li Wei replaced Da Bo and Stephen Jackson one after another.

Dirk Nowitzki and Bruce Bowen are introduced.

Magic power forward Cobra Grant is 2.08 meters tall and very strong. During the Bulls' first three-game winning streak, this man was known as the Big Three along with Jordan and Pippen, and after jumping to the Devil, he helped O'Neal and Penny Hardaway reach the Finals.

He has been selected to the league's best defensive team for 4 consecutive years, and his strength is very terrifying.

Nowitzki's debut as a rookie met such a defensive master, and he was constrained for a while. It was only three minutes before he had a shot that Grant interfered with and the ball was iron.

Bruce Bowen came on as a defensive striker, but made three defensive errors in a row.

"Bruce, how did you do it, with or without brains?" Li Wei shouted from the sidelines.

Bowen wiped his sweat in embarrassment.

He's not born a defensive freak, he's the biggest name in the team when he plays in France, a superstar, and the top scorer.

Defend? What is that? Inexistent!

I, Bruce Bowen, am the man who wants to win the score!

In his previous life, Bowen came to the NBA, went to the Heat, was cut, went to the Celtics, was cut again, went to the 76ers, was sold, went to the Bulls, and was cut again.

It was only after the upheaval that he realized that his offense had no place in the NBA and switched to focusing on defense. Under the guidance of a generation of famous coach Pat Riley, he became a super defensive giant, and later came to the Spurs, and then after Popovich's tempering, he eventually became a generation of talents!

In his previous life, French star Tony Parker came to report to the NBA, and he couldn't believe it when he saw Bowen. Isn't that the biggest name in our league? Why did they fall to the point of doing dirty work?

Bowen also smiled bitterly: "Don't I just want to eat with a mouthful of food!" ”

In this life, Li Wei understands Bowen's potential on the defensive end and has been stimulating him, and the Knicks coaching staff is also trying to help him develop in any way.

The Knicks' coaching staff is the old team of Pat Riley and Van Gundy, and there is Chuck Daley, a living ancestor of iron-blooded defense, who is no worse than the Heat's team in terms of cultivating talent, so Bowen's progress is very fast, and there is already a faint shadow of his previous life.

But Li Wei never expected that after a shutdown period, Bowen would degenerate so much!

In fact, Bowen was also very innocent, the NBA was suspended, and he ran back to France to play. In the French team, he is the ace of the team, he is a super scorer, and I have a goal in the world!

The NBA's shutdown is over, and the new season will start soon. He had just come back from there, and his mentality hadn't changed yet!

It's not so easy to switch back to you, who suddenly goes from being the boss of the team to the pony boy who specializes in hard work!

Bowen in his previous life was also in poor shape this season, and he made the Celtics cry for his father and mother, and was given up by a generation of famous coach Rick Pitino.

Bowen's luck is that he has always had a coach on his back, Rick Pitino, Pat Riley and then Popovich in his previous life, and there are very few players who can play for a coach like him. Although he did not meet Pitino and others in this life, he had Chuck Daly and Li Wei by his side.

When Bowen was out of position for the fourth time, Li Wei directly replaced him with Maddie, and then scolded: "I remember I told you when you first entered the team, I need you to be a defensive giant." If you don't want to stay in the NBA, you can just say it, don't be as soft as a piece of paper on the court, disgusting me! ”

Bowen said nervously: "Coach, I am not in good shape today, and I will definitely not be in the future, I will be able to adjust soon!" ”

Li Wei said: "You go to the side, don't get in the way in front of me!" ”

Bowen had no choice but to come to the bench on the side, and was trying to find a seat, but Li Wei scolded again: "Did you let you sit on a chair?" You deserve to sit in a chair as well? ”

Bowen then craned his neck, found a piece of floor to put his training clothes on, and sat on the floor.

"The coach is amazing!" Da Yao saw Li Wei scolding Bowen bloody, and he was a little incredulous.

"If you make a mistake, the coach is better than anyone else," Nash said. But if we don't make mistakes, the coach is still very good to us. ”

Herb Williams said: "If the coach wasn't tough, who would play hard for the team? Mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and kindness is not an official. We are players, we have to understand them. ”

Stephen Jackson said: "It's okay for the coach to scold you, and he used to scold me a lot last season. But if the coach praises you, then be careful. I saw him just praise John Wallace last season and then turn around and sell him! ”

Bo Outelo said: "I remember what you said. Last season, he praised the most big Z! ”

Herb Williams turned his head and said, "Dabo, so you are the most dangerous this season!" ”

Bo Outlaw said angrily: "! ”

Maddy, who came off the bench, played very well, Li Wei asked him to defend Penny Hardaway, and Hardaway made several iron in a row, which made Magic fans sigh.

That's right, Li Wei first looked at Maddie's defense, and then attack. On this Knicks team, Maddy has to get his mentality right and start with defense, and he has the ability and quality to be a defensive striker.

At the end of the game, the Knicks still lost.

Anfernee Hardaway is no longer in the limelight, shooting 4 of 14 and scoring only 12 points, but Garnett is absent from the Knicks, Houston is also undercover, plus Da Yao and Nowitzki are both newcomers who are making their debuts, and they can't provide any combat power, and it is reasonable to lose.

Da Yao played 7 minutes, made 1 of 2 shots, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, and also had 3 fouls. In fact, he had more than one block, but several other caps were whistled as fouls by the referee. Newcomers, always have to pay tuition.

Li Wei was satisfied with Da Yao's performance. In his previous life, Da Yao was 22 years old when he landed in the NBA, played 11 minutes in the first game, scored 0 points and 2 rebounds on 0 shots, scored 0 points and 2 boards, and also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

In this life, Da Yao is four years younger than in his previous life, but his debut is calmer than in his previous life, which shows that Li Wei's training camp has worked. As long as he continues to train, he will be able to adapt to this alliance sooner or later.

Nowitzki came off the bench and played 20 minutes, shooting 1-of-6 from the field and making two free throws to score four points.

Li Wei also recognized his performance. Guys like Duncan and Big Z who can kill all sides in the first year of their debut are inherently unattainable. In his previous game, Nowitzki played 16 minutes in his first game, missed all 5 shots, scored 2 points on free throws alone, and even had 0 rebounds. This life is better than the previous life, and that is enough.
