On July 6, Ford Center Arena.

"Nick, how did you feel in the past two days? Are there any unacceptable places?"

"If you don't know anything, you can ask Quinn at any time, or Plino and Dimash. I believe they will be willing to answer it for you."

"Maybe you just came here and are not very familiar with the team's environment. Here we are a whole and everyone gets along very happily, so you can completely relax."

Because it has entered the offseason, most players in the league have already begun to enjoy their vacation.

But everything is exceptional, such as the NBA Summer League that will be held in two days. At that time, all rookies who have just entered the league this year and undrafts who have no balls will participate in this league.

In addition to being able to adapt to the NBA game rules in advance, it also facilitates coaches of each team to conduct some assessments of new players.

This will arrange the playing time of the new season to a certain extent.

It can be said that although the Summer League is just an amateur competition specially launched by the league to make money, it is an opportunity for all newcomers participating in the Summer League to show themselves.

Rookies with low picks can use this to play a good number and strive to get more opportunities to play in the new season.

For example, Kuzma, who was selected by the Lakers in the later generations, was originally just a rookie with a low pick, but because of his outstanding performance in the summer league, he finally gained more playing time in the new season.

This is where the classic quote "I am handsome and good at playing, I am Kuzma" came from.

For newcomers who lost the draft, the summer league is also an opportunity for them to turn over.

Once their performance impresses a team, it is very likely that they will receive a contract.

So in a sense, the summer league is actually very important, it is just that the groups that benefit from are different.

"Coach Yang, I feel that the atmosphere of the team is really good. I have nothing to do with here, and everyone takes good care of me."

"Of course, I'm very grateful to Coach Yang for giving me this opportunity. I'm really very grateful."

Looking at Yang Fan who was not very old but had a smile on his face, Nick Nas, who had just joined the team, seemed very excited.

I think so, as a basketball coach, Nas has been coaching in the European League before, although he has led the team to win the European League championship in a row.

But overall, the level of the European League is still far from that of the NBA.

So in the end, for the sake of his dream, Nas gave up his richer salary and resolutely came to the NBA Development League to coach.

I hope to get a chance to enter the NBA one day.

It was only after coming to the Development League that Nass realized how fierce the competition in the NBA was. In the past few years in the Development League, Nass had become confused and almost gave up the original intention in his heart.

However, Nas never expected that this summer, surprise came to him, that is, the most talented team in the league, Thunder, who actually personally gave him an olive branch.

I have to say that when Plinno went to Houston to find him personally, Nas's whole mood was simply indescribable.

Because this seems so fucking nonsense to Nas, it’s like a dream!!

"No need to say thank you. Since you have come here, we are a family. If you really want to thank me, then I just hope you don't feel ashamed of my trust in you."

"Oh, by the way, I came here today because I wanted to tell you, that is, the Summer League two days later, I decided to let you lead the team."

"I hope you don't have too much pressure, but at the same time, I also hope you can bring out an excellent result, so you can understand what I mean."

He threw a petal of orange into his mouth, and Yang Fan's expression changed even though he said this, as if the matter of delegating power to Nas was just a trivial matter.

In fact, in Yang Fan's opinion, this is really a trivial matter. After all, the summer league is just a fight, and Yang Fan is too lazy to watch it.

What's more, Quinn Snyder, who just joined the team last year, led the team, and this year it is also a very fair thing to leave this opportunity to Nass.

As for Plino, this guy has an older qualification than Yang Fan. I'm afraid that even if Yang Fan wants him to lead the summer league, Plino has to find a way to shirke it.

However, Yang Fan obviously underestimated the temptation of leading the summer league, because after listening to Yang Fan's words, Nas's entire reaction was much greater than Snyder last year.

"What?! What you said is true! Coach Yang! I really want me to lead the team in the summer league?!"

"This... this surprise came too suddenly, and I couldn't digest it for a while!"

Looking at Nas' extremely excited look, Yang Fan just patted Nas on the shoulder. Although Yang Fan had never experienced this joy, Yang Fan knew that there were not many head coaches like him who were willing to delegate power in the league.

If you should say it, just from this point of view, then Yang Fan is really a good coach.

At least Yang Fan swears that he is definitely not lazy that he has entrusted the assistant coach with all his responsibilities!!

He just wanted to promote his talents!!

Well... that's it!!

…………

July 8.

With the matter being basically arranged, Yang Fan was finally able to rest at this time.

Just wait for news from Prosty and O'Neal next, and go to the summer league scene from time to time to watch for a lap.

Today is the day when the NBA summer league starts, and it is also the first game that Nass participated in coaching after coming to the Thunder, and he was also an acting head coach.

But today, Yang Fan did not go to watch the summer league, but instead played video games with Plino at home.

In daily life, Plino's personal character is very compatible with Yang Fan, so the communication between the two people in private will be a little more than Snyder.

Sometimes when Yang Fan saw the salty fish aura on Plino, he couldn't help but think, no wonder this guy has been just an assistant coach for more than ten years...

Yang Fan had also talked to Plino about this issue, but Plino just smiled lightly after listening to it.
