This striker is not serious

Jordan then shared with Lin Ying some of his previous breakfast club training points.

Grover has talked about these things with Lin Ying before, but different people can have two different concepts about the same thing.

Because the perspective and focus are completely different.

After listening to Jordan's words, Lin Ying has determined that as long as he can maintain this intensity, he will be able to truly master the white-hot space in the next one to two years.

And this time, he really regarded Charlotte as one of the possibilities deep in his heart.

Who can really say what will happen in the future?

…

After returning from Charlotte, Lin Ying held another personal training camp and called everyone he knew.

There are members of his breakfast club, as well as former teammates like Barbosa and Tony Allen.

Of course, Durant was the first to arrive.

Because Lin Ying said on the phone that she wanted to share a big secret with him.

"What's the plot?"

As soon as he saw Lin Ying, Durant couldn't wait to ask.

Lin Ying almost pushed him to the ground and beat him.

Is it still possible?

"White hot space? Michael's exclusive domain?"

After correcting his mind, Durant also became interested.

Moreover, Lin Ying was the first to find him after searching for details. He could be said to be quite touched.

Although that does not necessarily mean that he will be able to enter immediately, but at least the expectations are raised.

He has been suppressed by the Lakers and Mavericks for the past two years, which is really uncomfortable!

In order to achieve that goal, the intensity of the confrontation between the two people this summer will be unprecedented.

…

There is less than a week until the draft starts.

Walken Dean got on a plane bound for Oshan, Pennsylvania.

He was a little frowning.

The selection process did not go as expected.

Although it seemed that everyone in the interview talked eloquently, he always felt that they were almost boring.

Either style, experience, or character.

So in the end, he still put his hope in Karl.

Karl has been recuperating in his hometown for the past two years and rarely appears in public.

When he arrived at the door of Karl's house, before he rang the doorbell, he saw Karl watering the flowers in the yard from a distance.

It's only been two years since we last met, but Karl looks like he's aged ten years again.

The impact of cancer on a person is really great.

You should know that what Carl had was not the most serious kind of cancer, and he also received the best treatment.

But for older people, this is indeed a kind of torture.

Walken Dean's expectations for this visit were suddenly lowered.

But he still walked to the door and called Karl.

Because they had spoken on the phone beforehand, Karl put down the kettle in his hand after hearing the shouting and walked towards the door with a smile.

Walking closer, Walken Dean found that Carl was in good spirits.

It seems that his cancer is under good control, which has brought back some of Dean Walken's expectations.

Karl smiled and introduced Walken Dean into his living room and made him a cup of coffee.

Older people, no matter how glorious they were in the past, will always feel particularly cordial when meeting acquaintances.

The two people quickly talked about old times.

Karl always talks about basketball intentionally or unintentionally.

Similar to Sloan, it is impossible for these old guys who have been coaching in the NBA for most of their lives to completely leave basketball all at once.

"George, I came to you this time just because I hope you can go to Brooklyn. You know Lin and Chauncey are both there now."

After chatting for a while, Walken Dean quickly expressed his intention to come.

"Back then we failed to succeed due to some off-court factors. Now is a new opportunity. The Nets are already the defending champions."

Before Karl could express his position, Walken Dean continued to add.

Carl nodded repeatedly to show that he knew this.

"I would also like to go to Brooklyn, but I'm not confident in my current body."

His subsequent expression seemed somewhat helpless.

How could he not want to go?

Especially when he saw his old rival Sloan making up for his regrets, his heart was already ready to move!

But his cancer was just under control, and the job of an NBA head coach is a stressful one.

He is afraid of death, and no one in the world is not afraid of death, especially for him who has suffered from cancer twice.

He was afraid that the next time he had back pain, or foot pain, or any other pain, it would be diagnosed as cancer.

It is difficult for others to understand the feelings of a person who has suffered from cancer.

And what scares him more than death is the recurrence of what happened in the 2009 playoffs.

If it comes to a critical moment in the playoffs and he fails again, it will not only be his personal matter, but the Nets will once again become the Nuggets of that year.

So, he wanted to, but didn't dare.

By the end of the conversation, Walken Dean was completely at his wits end.

Karl is very honest, the risk is indeed very high.

"George, I still hope you can come to Brooklyn."

Before leaving, Walken Dean expressed his stance.

There is risk here, but Carl's suitability is indeed much higher than others.

After seeing off Walkendian, Karl sat in the yard in a daze.

The appearance of Walken Dean awakened many past events.

He and Lin Ying's previous relationship with Chollima and Bole, as well as the conflict between Lin Ying and Anthony that lasted for more than a season.

Of course, the most regrettable thing was the 2009 playoffs. If his cancer had not recurred, the Nuggets really had a chance to surpass the Lakers that year.

And after the Lakers, there is the Magic, the Eastern Conference benefit.

That regret may be even greater than when he led the Sonics to the Finals in 1996 and lost to Jordan's Bulls.

Just then the door was pushed open.

It's his son Coby Carr who's back.

Kobe continues to pursue his NBA dream and is currently playing in the Development League.

On non-game days, he would come back to take care of Carl.

Just like when Carl's cancer returned in Denver, his son is now his strongest supporter.

"I thought I saw Walken Dean just now."

Coby isn't so sure.

"It's him. He came to me to coach in Brooklyn."

Carl has nothing to hide from his son.

"Have you decided to go?"

Coby was a little excited.

Carl shook his head.

"Why don't you go?"

Coby was a little excited.

As a son, he knows better than anyone how much Carl still loves basketball.

"Coby, you know my body."

"Father, do you still remember what I told you? Cancer is like a bad guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When your mental state is good, he will stay away from you, but when your mental state is bad, it will stay away from you.

Will find you.

Rather than staying here, going to Brooklyn to pursue your unfinished dreams is what makes people happier!"

Karl's expression was stunned.

After a long time, he spoke:

"I'm worried about my impact on the Nets and their plan to defend the title."

"Father, we can't possibly consider every situation before doing anything."

Coby's words made Karl stunned again.

He suddenly discovered that his son had much more confidence than he did in this matter.

Of course, I can see it more clearly.

"Go, Dad, I can go to New York to play in the Development League."

Coby continued to persuade.

Karl looked at Coby blankly for a while, and finally nodded.

He called Walken Dean again.

By this time, Walken Dean had already gotten into a taxi back to the airport.

He is not in a good mood.

Karl didn't invite him, so he had to choose someone from among those originally interviewed.

There is a high probability that Budenholzer will be his choice, because that is also one of the head coaches Lin Ying hopes to work with.

Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang.

He saw it was Karl calling.

"Driver, let's go back."

After finishing the call, Walken Dean smiled and said to the driver.

…

In the training hall of Barclays Center, there were all kinds of screams.

The intensity of Lin Ying's personal training camp this time was beyond imagination.

Except for Durant and Butler who could barely hold on, others like Crowder were literally thrown up.

Although the others didn't vomit, they still choked.

If Lin Ying hadn't allowed them to retreat, many people would have wanted to just dodge.

Not everyone has such high aspirations!

After a round of training, a group of people lay there to rest.

No one spoke because most people had no energy to speak.

"Doug Rivers was employed so quickly."

Of course, not everyone. Durant is still energetic at the moment and is already using his mobile phone to play social media.

"Huh? Where did you go?"

Lin Ying turned to look at him curiously.

"Los Angeles."

"Lakers?"

"No, Clippers."

Clippers?

Lin Ying took the phone and looked at it.

Riley was playing tricks again. Instead of directly firing Rivers as previously reported by the media, he traded to the Clippers for a second-round draft pick.

At first, I came in as a first-round player, but now I am rotated out again and again. Although I lost a little bit, I still saved money.

But go to the Clippers. I wonder if Rivers can lead the Clippers better or worse without Paul?

He scrolled down the news page again.

"You are playing with your mobile phone."

Durant is now a serious mobile phone patient, the kind who can't put his phone down when he is free.

Just as Lin Ying was about to speak, his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, handed Durant's phone back, then got up and went outside to answer the call.

Because the call was from Walken Dean.

"Is George coming?"

After Dean Walken told him on the phone that Karl would be the team's head coach next season, Lin Ying couldn't help but feel shocked even though he had anticipated this possibility before.

Many familiar past events also appeared in his mind.

It was Karl who let him play early when the team had Nene and Martin.

In the second season, Karl even added his mismatched singles to the team's tactics based on his performance in the Olympics.

Of course, the most important thing was the conversation between the two after Carl's cancer recurred.

"Denver already has Merlot in the sky, you need a wider sky."

"I will make an agreement with Mark and I will try my best to arrange some suitable teams for you to choose. You have brought a lot to the Nuggets. When it comes to that point, I believe the management will not make things difficult for you."

…

He still remembers these words.

Even in that situation, Karl was still thinking about him.

He also remembered what he said to Karl at that time.

"With O'Connor and Chauncey here, the team will be fine. We will advance to the next round and then wait for you to come back."

They did it in the end, defeating the Rockets and advancing to the next round.

But unfortunately Karl failed to come back, and they eventually stopped in the Western Conference Finals.

The story between him and Karl ended abruptly.

It's like two people who love each other deeply are separated due to some irresistible force.

Then after a few years, we will renew our relationship!

Phew, this is probably the best result he can think of for him next season!

"How is George doing?"

Lin Ying adjusted his mood and asked about Karl's physical condition.

"He is now in good health and mentally strong. I believe he is qualified for this job."

Walken Dean was actually quite excited.

After all, he, Karl, Lin Ying, Billups.

This is the Brooklyn Nuggets!

"And I will prepare multiple insurances."

Walken Dean then said.

"Multiple insurance?"

Lin Ying didn't understand it at first.

"I haven't finished it yet, but there will be results soon."

Walken Dean gave Lin Ying another pass.

Lin Ying didn't ask further questions. Karl's arrival was already the best news.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying returned to the training hall.

By this time, most people had calmed down.

"Then let's...continue?"

Amidst the screams, everyone stood up.

They now feel that Lin Ying is scarier than their girlfriend!

…

The draft is approaching, and each team's head coach is finalizing one after another.

For example, the Clippers acquired Knicks head coach Doc Rivers in a trade mentioned earlier, and Riley went directly from president to head coach.

Although he was demoted, if the Knicks can regain the championship, his personal influence will be even greater.

And he's obviously got a handle on it. Sloan and Phil Jackson have both left the stage one after another, and he basically has no opponents to fear.

In addition to Rivers and Riley, there are also many coaching changes this year.

For example, Budenholzer also went to be the head coach of the Hawks.

The Nets decided on the candidate, and he went to Atlanta just like in history.

The Suns fired Gentry and hired Hornacek.

Hornacek was one of the head coaches that the Nets interviewed before, and he was also the coach Lin Ying played against in Naa when he was an assistant coach at the University of Iowa.

And one thing that people didn't expect was that Stan Van Gundy was fired directly. The Celtics' record last season was not bad!

However, Angie obviously had his own considerations. He hired Brad Stevens, who was also from Naa.

Jason Kidd became the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Budenholzer, Hornacek, Stevens, and Kidd are all coaches who have no previous NBA coaching experience.

There is a new coaching craze in the NBA.

At this time, the Nets coaching staff was also announced.

Head coach: George Karl;

Assistant coaches: Nate McMillan, Steve Kerr!

Karl's contract is 15 million for 4 years, McMillan is 6.5 million for 4 years (the highest assistant salary in NBA history), and Cole is 4 million for 4 years.

This new coaching staff of the Nets has become the most difficult coaching staff in NBA history!
