In August, at the Olympics in London, the U.S. men's basketball team won the gold medal in the men's basketball game without any suspense.

Durant and Anthony have been in the limelight at this Olympics, and the game has been a headache for the world's basketball teams.

However, Kobe Bryant and Curry, who were highly anticipated before the start of the game, were somewhat suspicious of paddling in this Olympic Games.

The reason for Kobe's paddling in this Olympics is related to the fact that he listened to Wang Shuo's instructions to him, and under the premise that the outside output of the U.S. men's basketball team has seriously overflowed, Kobe Bryant has played more of an auxiliary role in this Olympic Games.

As for Curry......

He failed to perform as well as he should have at the Olympics because Brown received a warning from Wang Shuo before the Olympics began.

Because Brown didn't dare to use Curry to death, Curry often found his touch on the court every game, and he was decisively replaced by Brown.

Don't ask, asking is to be a teacher for one day and a teacher for life.

In this life, at the national team level, Curry reached the national team Grand Slam as early as the summer of 10 years after winning the World Championship with the U.S. men's basketball team in Istanbul.

Therefore, Wang Shuo hopes that Curry will focus his energy on the upcoming new season than the London Olympics.

It is worth mentioning that after leading the Chinese men's basketball team to the quarterfinals of the London Olympics, Yao Ming also officially ended his national team career.

In fact, if it weren't for the pressure from public opinion, in Wang Shuo's opinion, Yao Ming would have retired from the national team two years ago.

Whether in his past life or in this life, in Wang Shuo's eyes, Yao Ming's playing career has paid too much for the national team.

Admittedly, for the vast majority of Chinese fans, it makes sense for a player to play for his country.

But in the field of basketball......

Especially under the premise that the NBA has long monopolized the world's No. 1 basketball league......

Whether a professional basketball player's career is brilliant or not, his performance in the NBA is often far greater than the honors he has achieved in the national team.

For example, Jordan, who has made far fewer appearances for his country than Xiao Yao.

If you don't understand, just ask......

In the world, will anyone deny Jordan the status of the god of basketball because he has played fewer games for the national team?

In addition, will anyone think that Durant is better than Jordan because of his outstanding achievements for the American men's basketball team?

Wang Shuo knows very well that if Xiaoyao can have more energy to compete in the NBA, then he can achieve a more brilliant career even without himself.

And in August, during the London Olympics, NBA teams are also strengthening one after another.

In the East, after noticing that the Thunder were not going well with Harden's contract extension, D'Antoni made a move.

After some backlash, D'Antoni traded Goran Dragic and a future first-round pick for the 76ers for Harden from the Thunder.

In this life, Harden still failed to get rid of the fate of being traded by the Thunder after all.

Because before discussing a contract extension with Harden, the Thunder have completed contract extensions with Yi Jianlian, Durant, Rose and Ibaka in recent seasons, so even if the Thunder have Harden's bird rights, they hope to control the salary of the contract extension with Harden, so as to pay as little luxury tax as possible in the future.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, even if there was a great god such as Presti, the sorrow of the Thunder team was here.

This deal, since Dragic's previous salary at the time of the contract extension with the 76ers was only $5.8 million, the deal could be done smoothly if the players were equal in salary.

However, compared to the transaction with the Space City in Wang Shuo's memory, the thunder that got Dragic through this transaction is not a big loss in a short period of time.

In the 11/12 season, Dragic, who continued to evolve under D'Antoni, averaged 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game for the 76ers.

As another Slovenian predecessor of the future Doncic, Dragic has excellent skills and accurate long-range shooting, which is far more suitable for this Thunder team than Kevin Martin that the Thunder exchanged for Harden in Wang Shuo's memory.

And what about the 76ers......

After acquiring Harden through this deal, D'Antoni not only got the cornerstone of his long-desired future team......

And, according to the current rebuilding trend of the 76ers, it is very likely that they will always be in the first echelon of the East in the future.

After all, the current 76ers team also has David Lee, Andre Iguodala and Jrue Holiday who has become famous in the past two years.

In Wang Shuo's view, as long as Harden can officially embark on his supergiant road, then the 76ers will not be able to play an embarrassing record of 10-72 in the future as he remembers.

In addition, the Cavaliers, who showed some competitiveness in both the regular season and the playoffs last year, also managed to attract Louis Williams this summer.

In order to fully grasp the peak of Griffin's career, Cavaliers owner Gilbert did not skimp on his wallet this summer.

In the new season, the addition of Cavaliers with Lowe on the bench will undoubtedly further enhance their combat effectiveness.

In the West, the Grizzlies, who chose to let go of Battier this summer, also extended an olive branch to Gallinari, who recently achieved a triple championship with the Lakers, after clearing salary space.

Due to the new collective bargaining agreement, the Lakers had to forgo Gallinari's contract extension this summer.

Kupchak kept Green on Wang's advice before he left, and prepared the Lakers for future extensions to DeRozan and Hayward.

Over the past few seasons, the Grizzlies have clearly exposed their shortcomings in critical moments.

In Wang Shuo's view, the addition of Gallinari can not only make up for their shortcomings, but also the combination of his appearance and Milicic can also guarantee the box office for the Grizzlies in a sense.

In addition, while Odom still has some trade value, Kupchak also used Odom to cheat the Kings from Sacramento this summer for the future 2017 first-round pick.

How would this be a deal that can be described in words?

To put it simply......

During this period, the Sacramento veterinarians successfully used their superb medical skills to allow Roy to start his life in bedside......

The Kings will most likely give away a future first-round pick that is likely to be a top-three pick to the Lakers.

Wang Shuo knows very well that Odom, who is next to Kobe, and Odom, who leaves Kobe, are two completely different players.

In addition, at this moment, the king's team doctor can still compare with the Trail Blazers' team doctor......

Therefore, in Wang Shuo's view, it is outrageous that the king did not add the first three protections to their draft picks.

But then again......

If it's a 2017 first-round pick......

Hiss......

"Should the Lakers really listen to Kobe's advice and select Jatum in the future?" On this day, Wang Shuo, who was farming with Sloan in Southern Illinois, thought silently.

In this life, Wang Shuo knows very well that Jenny Buss has no possibility of taking over the Lakers in the future.

Therefore......

If the Kings keep rotting, then the Lakers really don't have the possibility of selecting Tatum to succeed Kobe Bryant in the future.

And this summer, in addition to the player changes, in August, Brad Stevens also voluntarily chose to resign because he has not been able to lead the Celtics to the next level in the past two years.

In an interview, Stevens said with a tired look: "I don't know why we've gone from a team that averages nearly 120 points per game to a team that can score two points in a row on the court and become a luxury."

I want to start over in a different place, and I want to thank the Celtics for their support and trust in me over the past few seasons, and I hope that after I'm gone, the Celtics will become a better team." ”

Whether the Celtics can become a better team in the new season, Wang Shuo does not know.

But shortly after leaving the Celtics, it was announced that he would take over Stevens from the Thunder......

But it is very likely that in the new season, it is possible to feel what it means to be more dead than others, and to throw more goods than others.

This summer, the Thunder finally decided to make up for their only shortcoming.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, because he still reached the Finals in the 11/12 season with the talent of the Thunder Sanshao, Brooks can continue to stay in Oklahoma.

But this life......

In terms of Brooks' coaching ability, which even Rivers didn't look down on when he was an ESPN's live commentator......

But as long as he can stay in the Thunder position for one more day, Wang Shuo will wonder if he has Presti's handle in his hand.

In the new season, the Thunder will undoubtedly become the biggest spoiler in the West.

Because Wang Shuo knows very well that Stevens, who has been evolving in recent years, has no problems with his coaching level.

Moreover, with a good personal relationship with Anji......

If it weren't for Stevens' doubts about his own coaching ability since last season, his Celtics position could only be described as stable.

But......

Whether in a past life or in this life, coaching James' team is such a challenging thing.

As the head of Jammy, Wang Shuo remembers very well that from Paul Silas to David Ham, James has worked with a total of nine NBA head coaches in his career.

On average, basically every season or two, a head coach is fired for not being able to make the most of James' dominance on the court.

Admittedly, in James' long career, there were indeed coaches who were stabbed because of their low level of business.

But there are also many coaches who have proven themselves before and after coaching James.

As we all know, in the NBA, if you want to be a good head coach, you have to learn to dump the pot first.

Because as a high-risk profession in the NBA, a head coach who will not dump the pot is destined to not be able to stay in the league for a long time.

It's a pity......

The NBA head coach who will dump the pot again must also take the blame when he meets James.

Because James' team can't win championships and can't win, how can it be James' problem?

Even if James has 99.99% of the pot, shouldn't you, as the head coach of a team, resign because of that 0.01% turnover?

Look at the people Stevens more conscious?

Even if James's position in the Celtics could not shake his position at all, he resolutely carried everything for James.

In August, after Stevens left Oklahoma, after some deliberation, Angie decisively extended an olive branch to Steve Cole, who was at home.

In this life, when he was previously coaching the Suns, Kerr led the Suns to the Finals.

Angie is very optimistic about Kerr's coaching philosophy, and also believes that Kerr, who praised James during the interview, can make James go to the next level in the new season.

In addition, after the Celtics officially announced that Kerr will be the team's new head coach......

James, who was working hard to shoot three-point snipes, finally felt that his spring was coming.

Because by phone, Kerr has made it clear to James that the Celtics will use him as the playmaking and offensive core in the new season.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, many Zhan Hei had complained that James was Green's Supreme Plus version.

Although Wang Shuo himself does not agree with this point of view......

But under Kerr, James does have a good chance of playing extremely luxurious Excel in the new season.

Because in Kerr's coaching philosophy, a player like James who can handle the ball is destined to be reused.

However, at the moment, this Celtic team ......

If James is the one who holds the ball......

Wang Shuo was skeptical that Pierce and Delon would be able to run on the court.

The former will officially turn 35 in the new season.

The latter, on the other hand, was able to play without the ball during the Jazz period.

But if Delon likes to play without the ball......

So is he going to have a falling out with Sloane?

……

Bidding farewell to August and September, while saying goodbye to Sloan, Wang Shuo also signed veterans Sean Battier and James Jones in the free agent market.

Although Battier's role on the court has been far less than it was in recent years due to the decline in athleticism, Wang Shuo has taken a fancy to his experience in defense and hopes that he can pass on his experience to young players such as Leonard in the new season.

As for James Jones......

As the famous Zhan Chui in Wang Shuo's memory, because he has won the championship with James three times, he is also called the most loyal little brother by many James Mi.

However......

Because James has not been able to live up to his talent and talent at the moment, Jones has not chosen to renew his contract with the Celtics after his contract expires this summer.

And, when he learned that the Hornets had extended an olive branch to him, Jones jumped back to the Kumi camp without hesitation, saying in an interview that he had become a fan of Curry as early as '08.

Wang Shuo took a fancy to Jones' shooting ability from beyond the three-point line.

In Wang Shuo's opinion, the Hornets' lineup for the new season is solid enough, so anyway, they are all looking for someone to watch the water cooler, so why don't he find someone to practice three points with Curry on the training ground?

Moreover, Wang Shuo knows very well that as long as Curry can take Jones to lie on the crown in the future, he will definitely maintain Curry's image in the NBA to the death.

After all, in Wang Shuo's memory, James was willing to take Jones with him wherever he went......

Precisely because Jones is loyal enough.

It's a pity that James is destined to be unfortunate to lose a little brother like Jones in this life, so he cheapened Curry for nothing.

On the 14th, the Hornets officially sounded the rallying call in Charlotte.

After another summer of grinding, Wang Shuo is satisfied with the growth progress of the young players in the Hornets team.

In Wang Shuo's view, the only fly in the ointment is that the evolutionary direction of Leonard and Butler determines that in a short period of time, even if he can provide them with the best training resources, he will not be able to further accelerate their growth.

Because......

The evolutionary direction of Leonard and Butler is none other than Wang Shuo's good brother Michael Jordan.

However, compared with his rookie season, under the guidance of England Germany, after a summer of hard training, Leonard's dry pull action and mid-to-long distance dry pull shooting rate have improved significantly.

In the new season, Wang Shuo plans to properly arrange some singles tactics for Leonard in some of the team's offensive rounds, so as to enhance his singles confidence on the court.

As the saying goes, no matter how good a heads-up master is, it is also tempered by striking iron.

In order for Leonard to level up smoothly, Wang Shuo didn't mind the Hornets losing part of the game because of it.

As for Butler, Wang Shuo intends to gradually increase his playing time while continuing to use him as a substitute in the new season.

Wang Shuo knew that Butler was the kind of person who became more and more courageous on the court, so when he was on the court, Wang Shuo planned to let him defend and pick the most ruthless defense on the opposite side, and attack, Wang Shuo also planned to let him pick the hardest bone to gnaw.

Don't ask, just ask......

Someone like Butler, who can't kill him, will eventually make him stronger.

In addition, as Clay's black fan leader, Wang Shuo was also ready to spend at least half a season in the new season to find a feel for Clay.

Anyway, now that it's Curry's turn to be the big man, it's time for him to experience it......

What is the taste of "suffering the team boss again".

Of course, in order to let Clay have a sense of crisis, at the beginning of the new season, Wang Shuo did not plan to let him be the team's starter.

Wang Shuo considered that in the early stage of the new season for the Hornets, Garnett, Millsap, Leonard, Curry and Paul will form the team's starting lineup.

This lineup is not only offensive and defensive......

Moreover, it can effectively avoid the situation that the players on the field need to level up, which raises Wang Shuo's blood pressure on the sidelines.

Wang Shuo's teaching assistant team also believes that this is the most reasonable starting five for the Hornets at the moment.

It is......

Regarding Wang Shuo's proposal on the first day of joint practice, the Hornets should strive for about 40 three-point shots per game......

Wang Shuo's teaching assistants felt a little frustrated.

But in Wang Shuo's opinion......

For the Hornets, who have Curry and Klay, 40 or so three-point shots is really not much.

You must know that before Wang Shuo's crossing, the average number of three-point shots per game of NBA teams had increased to about 35.

In fact, as the version of the game has been updated and players continue to evolve in terms of shooting, more three-point shots can not only improve a team's scoring efficiency on the court, but also make it more difficult for the opponent to defend.

Before Wang Shuo crossed over, if you want to say which period Durant was the strongest, then the Dumi must have different opinions.

But if you were to say which period Durant was the most efficient, it would be Durant's time with the Warriors.

Because there was a peak "Splash Brothers" on the outside at that time to help contain it, even if it was also one-on-one, the scoring environment that Durant faced was far better than at all stages of his career.

Wang Shuo knew that his assistant coaches couldn't accept their three-point requests for the Hornets on the outside for a while, not because they didn't understand the ball......

It's about 40 three-point shots per game, which does sound so perverted in this era.

In addition, on the day of the joint practice, Wang Shuo also found Paul alone, hoping that he would be willing to sacrifice part of his scoring data for his teammates in the new season.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, at the peak of his career, his cannon has always had a pretty good mid-to-long-range two-point shooting rate, and his true shooting rate on the court is close to sixty percent.

But in Wang Shuo's eyes, compared to Curry and Leonard and others after leveling up, the scoring efficiency and scoring consistency of my cannon are destined to be incomparable with these demons.

Therefore, Wang Shuo does not plan to arrange too many offensive tactics for Paul in the new season.

Rather, hopefully he will focus his game primarily on passing.

In Wang Shuo's view, Paul only needs to complete the shot when the position is vacant, and as for the heavy responsibility on the field, it is all left to his teammates.

Paul himself had no complaints about this.

It's just that......

Career so far......

When has he, Chris Paul, ever played such a game?

You must know that Paul's team before was basically the kind of team that as long as he didn't c, then he could only wait for the fiasco to come.

But who would have thought that it would be less than three months since Wang Shuo arrived in Charlotte......

It has quietly transformed this Hornets into a team where even Paul's shots on the court have become a waste of resources.

Of course, while asking Paul to make a sacrifice, Wang Shuo did not forget to give him a pancake fruit.

On this day, putting his arm around Paul's shoulder, Wang Shuo deliberately asked, "What is the NBA's single-season average assists per game record so far?" ”

Hearing this, Paul replied without hesitation: "14.5 times, created by John Stockton in the 89/90 season. ”

Looking at Paul, Wang Shuo said with a disdainful face: "Only 14.5 times? Chris, do you want to make a bet with me? ”

Paul asked, "What bet?" ”

Wang Shuo smiled: "I bet that your average assists per game in the new season will definitely surpass John Stockton by a large margin." ”

There is no doubt that at this moment, Paul's fighting spirit has been completely ignited by Wang Shuo's words.

And after a week of training with this group of teammates, Paul found out......

Wang Shuo made this bet with him, and he really had a good chance of being able to complete it.

Because this Hornets once they get into the mode of switching offense......

Paul almost made a pass and an assist.

"Is this kind of offensive rhythm real?"

On this day, looking at Wang Shuo, who asked the players to keep rotating the rhythm on the field, Wang Shuo's assistant coaches collectively Sparta.

Because if the Hornets could really put what they did in training into the game......

Wang Shuo's assistant coaches believe that this Hornets will definitely be the craziest run-and-gun team in basketball history!

"Offense is the best defense.

I have only one requirement for this team in the new season......

That is, to defeat all opponents with offense! On this day, on the training ground, looking at his assistant coaches, Wang Shuo said proudly.
