The next morning, Luke woke up. looked at Alyssa, who was still closed the door, and sighed. Then I made breakfast, left a note for Alyssa, and went out.

But just as Luke went out, Alyssa came out with a dark circle under her eyes, "I waited all night and still didn't come, this is not as good as a beast." Alyssa muttered to herself. Let's go back to the house and catch up on sleep. Then the door closed again. Luke lay down and was also shot.

Luke ran to the Vochovia Arena and found that there were not many people now, so he practiced shooting on his own (it is impossible to grab rebounds without help).

Larry walked in from the outside with a hitched face. Luke said hello, "It's early, Luke." ”

"Hello, coach. Waking up early has a lot of benefits. You didn't sleep well last night? Luke said.

"I'm thinking about some problems, and the lineup, although Theo Ratliff is good, but in front of Ben Wallace, he can't do anything but have a little offensive ability, and he has to be traded; This time bomb of McCloch must go; We've got you at small forward, George Lynch, Brian Cardinal, Tony Kukoc, even Jumani Jones can play, and we're overstaffed and have to go. It's hard to do. ”

"There's some truth to that." Luke touched his chin.

"Don't worry, the team won't trade you, you're the cornerstone of the team's future." Larry smiled and patted Luke on the shoulder.

"Coach, let me ask you something." Luke said.

"What's the matter?" "What are you going to do when you win this year?" Luke asked.

"Well, well, of course, it's working hard for next season...... Larry said.

"That's right." Luke knew that the reason why Larry left the 76ers in the future was first because he didn't win a championship and his results were declining year after year. Then the management of the 76ers lost faith in Larry. Coupled with Allen's dissatisfaction, it eventually led to Larry's dismissal, which indirectly affected the life of another player (you can check for yourself who he is, and there will be a prize for guessing correctly).

"Alright, Coach, I'll go to training first." Luke said.

"Okay, I'll call you later." Larry said.

"Understood. Instructor! Luke said. "Let's go first." Larry walked back to his office.

Other players came soon as they came. The assistant coach began to have everyone play against each other. In Allen's absence, Luke and McGee became the leading scorers, with most of the shots in their hands, but Luke still made a lot of passes.

It will be soon, and the match will be over (this in itself is a game for the players to resume training, so there is no need to play for too long). So everyone went to practice the others. You can go to the power room, you can go to the stadium.

Luke practiced bench press in the strength room, although Luke's highest bench press reached 190 kg, but everyone knew that it was unlikely to push more, so Luke chose 150 kg, practiced for 30 minutes, and then went to practice jumping, in this era, Wade and his practice methods were not yet famous, but Luke practiced first. Whether it's jumping on the mat or playing with a barbell, Luke is on it. After lunch, Luke was still practicing. But that's when the assistant coach came to call him.

"Luke, hurry up, Coach Larry will call you again."

"Oh, come on." Luke put down the barbell in his hand, let go of the elastic band around his waist, and walked to Larry's office.

As soon as Luke enters Larry's office, he finds Aaron and Larry already sitting there.

"You're here, Luke." Aaron said hello.

"Hmm." Luke replied simply.

"Do you know how much the reporter has to say that you didn't come that day? We're not having a good time. Aaron complained.

"Is this true?" Luke asked in surprise, thinking that it didn't matter much if he was a nobody.

"Of course it's true." Aaron said. "Didn't you read yesterday's and today's newspapers? "The AI is jealous of his teammates and won't let them attend the press conference". ”

"That's good. And even more! Larry said, "What "76ers internal contradictions, locker room bomb reappearance", there is a reasonable basis. We couldn't laugh or cry when we saw it. ”

"Hehehe." Luke didn't know that not going to the press conference would have such a big impact.

"Alright, Aaron, stop ridiculing and get down to business first." Larry stopped Aaron from continuing.

Larry continued, "There is something that called you here this time, you should find a place to sit down first." ”

"Well, I'm here to talk about the team's recent situation. Although Aaron didn't play during this time, we won five in a row, which is very good. I'm sure Aaron will be even better when he comes back. However, I also found a lot of problems, and the lack of cooperation is the biggest one. Especially Luke, you're new to the game, and our original way has been disrupted," Larry paused, then continued, "Then, there is still a lack of connection between you and Aaron, which is also important, the strongest duo is not connected, each playing its own way, which is the biggest waste of resources. You two need to pay attention. There is also a big forward we are very scarce, although there are still Tyrone Hill and Nazr Mohammed on top, but everyone knows that Tyrone is already going downhill, he has long passed his peak, and Nazel Mohammed, who is completely a role player, can't pick up the big beam at all. We desperately need a power forward. And as I said, there are a lot of people at the small forward position, and some people are hard to make a difference, so it is better to trade them. And then there's Theo Ratliff, who's still getting better, but I don't expect it to be too high, and Ben Wallace is doing really well, and I think we can trade him now. Of course, this time I'm asking you to discuss it and see if there is any way to strengthen it, and it is not really necessary to trade. ”

"Then why don't you trade Garnett or Webb." Aaron came out with a word.

Larry, who was dry-mouthed, was about to take a sip of water, but choked on Arlen's words. "Ahem, ahem, you're ......"

"I know it's impossible," Aaron certainly knows the truth, "I'm just kidding, you can just say it." I'm just a player, just play. ”

"I don't know you yet?" "If you trade someone you don't like, you don't management." ”

"Luke or you."

"I, I think of a man but ......," Luke replied.

"Then you say." Aaron said. Larry nodded.

"Dennis Rodman, that's him. In the first half of this year, he was able to grab 14 boards. But, you know, his surname is ......"

"Uh...... Yes, there is this problem. "Aaron knows Larry very well.

"But his rebounding and defense can be a huge help to the team, especially in the playoffs, and he's the guy who has five championship rings, and I'm sure his experience will help us a lot."

"Hmm......" Larry nodded.

"And, of course, Rashid Wallace, who is now at odds with the Trail Blazers, and there won't be much resistance to signing him now."

"Hmm. I'll seriously consider it. Larry said. Okay, you guys go back to training first, and then something will call you. ”

"Yes. Instructor. Luke and Arlen walked out of the office.
