Chapter 33 NBA Concerns

Donny Nelson returned to Oakland and immediately reported to his father Don Nelson's office.

In the 1988-89 season, crazy scientist Don Nelson became the head coach of the Warriors, and the current season is now in its fifth season.

Compared to his first coaching career - the Bucks career, Don Nelson now seems to have changed his name.

During his career as the Bucks, he emphasized defense and valued stability and long-term, so he worked with the Bucks for ten years.

Now that the Warriors have arrived, he has begun to emphasize the attack surprisingly and unexpectedly, and has launched the run-and-bomb attack that was later famous.

As the Warriors' vice president and head coach, Nelson Sr. is also fully responsible for the team's operations.

His operating style is also very different from the Bucks' career. In the past few years of coaching the Warriors, he likes to do experiments and make various changes.

So much so that in the first few seasons of coaching the Warriors, the team's "Run-TMC" combination composed of Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and Mickey Richmond has been established, and he still sent Mickey Richmond away.

The claim to the outside world is that Old Nelson feels that the team needs a more all-round big man.

But they exchanged for Billy Owens, who was in 1991, did not meet their expectations in the rookie season, and the current sophomore season is still troubled by injuries.

On the other hand, Richmond was quickly selected as the All-Star after transferring to the Kings.

Even though Old Nelson's experiment failed, he did not give up.

With the team's diving this season, the Warriors have a chance to get a lottery.

So, again, Old Nelson turned his attention to next year's draft.

The goal remains unchanged, and he needs a more versatile striker.

"I've seen it. This guy has a very strong physical fitness. After a game, he was either taking off or on the way."

"One move to attack, break through and pass the ball."

"But this guy's cross-step is a bit interesting. Although he doesn't have many moves, his speed is extremely fast."

"To be honest, it's just ordinary and nothing special. I can only say that he can pass, but he passes just like that."

"The defense is excellent. His opponent in this game is Alan Houston, a top NCAA scorer who has played in the NCAA for four years and has averaged 20 points per game every year. He only scored 17 points in this game."

"There is nothing worth mentioning for the rest."

"Oh by the way, he didn't play forward, but a point guard. He was a height above 2 meters to play point guard, which is the most surprising thing."

"From this attitude, he is going to use the magician as a template..."

As soon as he entered the door, Nelson Jr. talked freely, and this is what the scout reports these days are.

There is not much video information, either just describe it with a mouth or just use paper and pen to record it.

Little Nelson felt that just the relationship between father and son was enough to use his mouth, and with his hands, it would be unnecessary.

There are other people in the office, and Nelson doesn't care. Anyway, they are all their own people, so how can they cheat on their own people?

Listening to the story of Little Nelson, Old Nelson knocked on the table and suddenly turned his head: "Greg, what do you think?"

The rest of the office is this Greg, a white-haired middle-aged man who looks very much like Popovich.

When Old Nelson asked, he shook his head: "Obviously, he doesn't meet our requirements, especially after comparing Chris Webber."

"Greg is right, Chris Webber is our best choice, but Stalin, keep checking, what if our draft pick is not that high?"

Old Nelson seems to agree with this Greg. Lin Xing can continue to be investigated entirely due to the uncertainty of the Warriors' draft pick at this time.

...

In Boston, a scout in a suit and ties walks into the Celtics' training hall.

"I'm back, Chris, this is my scout report this time."

Chris Ford, wearing a training t-shirt, is now the head coach of the Celtics.

He took the scout report from the scout. He asked while looking through:

"Where have you been here, Louis?"

"Mainly, it was a swaying around the West Coast..."

"West Coast... let's not talk about those clichés, let's talk about newcomers, what are some special recommendations?"

"Cal's Jason Kidd, a point guard with a very outstanding overall view, has the first pass, and the disadvantage is that he does not have a strong desire to attack..."

"I know this, forget it, or say something you think is particularly interesting, right?"

"Interesting, then Stalin, who was so annoying during this period!"

"Stalin? You're going to watch his game, too? How is he playing?"

Chris Ford raised his head, and the Boston Herald also made a kick in the hot noises throughout the United States during this period.

The Herald's reporter named Bill Simmons stood on Lin Xing's side with a clear stand, which made Chris Ford, who had always admired Bill Simmons, very curious about Lin Xing.

"It's not bad, well, to be precise, he completely dominated the offense and defense against the University of Tennessee.

Various outs and outscores on the offensive end, and the defensive end also switched to lock Alan Houston, playing simply and roughly.

I think he is a genius. The most important thing is that his physical fitness is so outstanding, and he has a promising future..."

"Wow, I'm so optimistic about him? Then why don't you recommend him specifically?"

"Because I'm more optimistic about Jason Kidd?"

"Okay, your taste is always unique."

Chris Ford smiled and shook his head, "Does this scout report still contain video materials as before?"

"That's right."

"Then you can take a week off and wait until I finish reading the video."

“Ok!”

...

In Dallas, the Mavericks were in a craziest position. General manager Nom Songno won Tennessee at Long Beach and got Lin Xing’s scout report;

Milwaukee, the Bucks head coach Mike Dunleavy, who had a poor record, finished watching the game and gave an evaluation: He is indeed a genius, let the scout department inspect him more;

Minnesota, the Timberwolves who are also crazy, general manager Jack McCrosky proposed: "Okay guys, the next point is to make a choice between penny and Stalin!"

Los Angeles, Indiana, Houston, Sacramento, Detroit...

Lin Xing didn't know that almost overnight, he appeared on the desks of general managers or head coaches of countless NBA teams.

The NBA's eyes have already turned to him, and bundles of American swords have locked him in.

...

What was Lin Xing doing at this time? He called Tim Hardaway.

To be honest, he is very grateful to Tim Hardaway.

Although Hardaway's voice was a little late, he did not save him from danger, but just added icing on the cake.

But Lin Xing knew very well that Hardaway admitted that Lin Xing defeated him one-on-one and it took courage.

The NBA lacks everything, but there is no shortage of trash talk experts.

Hadaway admits this, it is foreseeable that he will be ridiculed in future games:

Oh, isn’t this a little bug? Why can’t you even beat college students?

No, I was not a college student. To be precise, Stalin was still a high school student at that time!

Thanks to Lin Xing, he called Hardaway to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Tim, thank you for your righteousness."

"Don't be so polite, Stah, we are friends, aren't we?"

"Yes, Tim, we are friends."

Lin Xing directly took the ball down, not only that, he also set his sights on Hardaway's stunts:

"So, Tim, since he is a friend, can you teach me a half-stage cross-step?"

During this period, he has indeed been practicing his two moves and one move. Lin Xing really wants to improve the two moves and one move to three moves and two moves or four moves and three moves.

But he practiced himself without anyone to guide him, and many movements were not deducted from details. He had been practicing for a lot of time, but he couldn't make any progress.

"Cross-step?"

"Yes, I've been practicing my cross-steps during this period, but after practicing for so long, I can only shake left and right or right one move..."

"Well, what do you want to learn?"

"There is something about cross-steps, as long as I don't know, I want to learn it."

“That’s too much…”

On the other side of the phone, Hardaway pondered for a moment,

"Let me do this, I'll ask my trainer to send you a copy of my training plan, which contains some disassembly diagrams of cross-step movements, and you can practice according to that."

"That's so thankful, Tim!"

...

Soon, Lin Xing received a parcel from San Francisco.

He opened the package and received Tim Hardaway's training plan.

The cross-step movement disassembly diagram in the training plan is indeed very detailed, and each subtle movement is highlighted.

Lin Xing felt that this was a bit like a martial arts secret book. Each disassembled action is the same move and move that was also split in the secret book.

Of course, what surprised Lin Xing even more was that Tim Hardaway's training plan was very professional, and Lin Xing immediately had a direction when he was worried about how to carry out his training.

"Just practice according to this!"

Lin Xing began his hard work, and he wanted to engrave the label of hard work on himself.
