Almighty Coach

Staples Arena in Los Angeles.

This is the fourth game of the Finals. In the previous three contests, the Clippers have won, leading the Bucks with a 3-0 score. And this fourth game is the home of the Clippers, and it is inevitable that the Bucks won the championship.

When the sound of the end of the game sounded, all the Clippers players rushed into the court and hugged each other, and the veterans were already crying.

For these veterans, it is already a miraculous thing to be able to return to the field, and this championship has made up for their career regrets.

The camera was aimed at these veterans. Their painful expression touched every fan, not only on the spot, but many viewers watching the game in front of the TV also shed tears.

Those former superstars, along with many people spent their youth, those fans yearning for the year, the players they support can get a championship, until the stars retire, but also did not achieve.

Today, this championship not only made up for the regrets of these veterans' careers, but also put a perfect end to the youth of fans.

Li Dai, who was on the sidelines, was also touched.

After this game, he will also offload the Clippers as head coach and shift his focus to his fitness training center.

Next year is another Olympic year, and the work of the fitness training center will become busy.

...

The news that Li Dai had stepped down as the Clippers' head coach immediately attracted a lot of attention.

After all, the Clippers have just won the championship. This kind of situation where the championship coach has been taken away is also unique among nba.

If it is another team, such a thing will inevitably cause a lot of speculation, even mixed with various conspiracy theories.

But the Clippers are different. Everyone knows that Li Dai is the boss's son-in-law and the future boss of the team. Of course, there will be no conspiracy theory. My own industry is not just to leave, but to stay.

Many people even think that this coach Li probably won a championship and completed the goal of dominating nba, so he didn't want to pick a pick.

Kassel was promoted to head coach and took over the Clippers, and everything went smoothly.

This is the benefit of promotion within the team. Everyone was originally in the same team, they were familiar with each other, and the work was easier. If a new coach is hired from outside, it is estimated that it will take a month or two to reintegrate the team. Moreover, Kassel was originally the second in the coaching staff, and was also familiar with the work of the coaching staff.

Li Dai thought that he had nothing to do with Kassel, but unexpectedly, in late June, Kassel invited Li Dai to New York.

Madison Square Garden, the new NBA Draft has started again.

"Coach, picking a rookie, you have more vision than me. If you don't come, I'm really bottomless." Kassel said flattered.

Li Dai was helpless, but for the team, he still detected the rookie on the scene.

"The level of these rookies is quite good, but the talented players are all in the lottery area, the Clippers can not choose them."

Li Dai sighed in disappointment. Several talented players have long been favored by people. These players will be selected in the lottery area. The 28th pick held by the Clippers is simply not selected. To a talented rookie.

"A lottery on the 28th, if you can choose a qualified rotation, it is already a success. If you want to use the 28th to pick a star, it is almost like a lottery."

There was no such thing as Li Dai's expectations in the first round. Those rookies who might be selected in the second round also have no talents.

Of course, many players on the draft list will not come to the scene, and Li Dai cannot detect their talents.

The scouts of each team are not vegetarian, and there are trial training before the draft, so the team will have a rough assessment of the rookie. Those talented rookies were booked early and selected in the lottery.

The nba president announced the fourteenth overall player. Li Dai shook his head helplessly. No one fell out of the lottery. The Clippers had no hope of picking up leaks.

On the big stage, the nba president jumped out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"What's the situation? The 15th pick has been selected? Is it so fast? It's not right. Even if the team is already selected, the president shouldn't take the result in his own pocket!"

Li Daizheng was puzzled and only listened to the announcement of the president of nba: "nba selected Sai Austun at the 14th pick!"

"What? Another 14th pick? NBA pick? Which drama is this singing?" Li Dai was even more confused.

A picture of a player is displayed on the big screen, and a big man in a suit walks onto the stage. This man is the player shown on the big screen, but this person looks a little weird, his facial features are slightly distorted, and still One eye is big and the other is small, especially the right eye, as if it can't be opened.

"Who is this guy? What is going on?" Li Dai asked Kassel.

"Coach, you really didn't pay attention to high school basketball and college basketball!" Kassel smiled slightly and introduced: "His name is Saiy Auston, from Baylor University, he is 7 feet 1 inches tall, and he is a center. Do you think this guy is weird? "

Li Dai nodded, and Kassel went on to explain: "He is sick, it is Marfan syndrome!"

Li Dai nodded suddenly.

Marfan syndrome, also known as Marfan syndrome and spider finger syndrome, is a hereditary connective tissue disease that causes congenital mesoderm dysplasia in patients. The disease is characterized by thin limbs, fingers, and toes Asymmetrical length, significantly higher than ordinary people, accompanied by abnormalities of the cardiovascular system, especially combined heart valve abnormalities and aortic aneurysms.

Historically, many basketball or volleyball players have been diagnosed with this disease, and most of them died of heart failure or myocardial ischemia due to ruptured aortic aneurysm, pericardial tamponade or aortic valve insufficiency, and mitral valve prolapse .

Cassell next to him said: "When Auston was 12, his right eye was completely blinded by a baseball hit, so he now has a prosthetic eye in his right eye socket."

"No wonder he is small with one eye, one eye is missing, it will have a great impact on the shot! And the technique of turning right will also be greatly restricted." Li Dai commented.

"It's true, but it didn't stop his basketball dream. He worked very hard. When he was in high school, Aston was the top three high school student in the United States. Later he joined Baylor University and averaged the average for the first season. Contribute 13 + 8 data. At that time, there was a draft website predicting that he is likely to become the top spot. "Kassel said.

Li Dai nodded silently. A center can get 13 + 8 data in his freshman year, which is really great. And the excellent big center, the draft pick will be relatively high, this point to see the draft of the past years to know.

Those who hold the No. 1 pick are the first to choose the top center, as strong as the **** of basketball, they can only rank third in the diamond generation draft, and the top pick of the year was of course a super center. From 2001 to 2010, seven of the draft picks in this decade were also centers.

A power center who can get 13 + 8 in the ncaa field is indeed eligible to be ranked in the top three of the nba draft.

Kassel continued: "Last year, Auston did not participate in the draft, and this year he chose to sign up, but during the physical examination, he was found out of Marfan syndrome, which means the end of his basketball career . One eye missing and suffering from Marfan Syndrome, he is a man abandoned by God! "

"But he didn't give up, he still wants to play. Although the doctor has given a report that he can play on the court, but no team should choose him, at least in nba, no team will choose a suffering side. Syndrome player. Perhaps his inspirational story will help him find a job in the lower leagues overseas. "

"It's a pity, what a pity." Li Dai could not help sighing.

It is a pity that Li Dai shouted, because he has detected that the Auston owner has a class A basketball talent, which means that he may grow into a star player. A 7-foot-1 bright star power center can be more valuable than a striker and guard at the same level. But the disease has made it all in vain.

"Unfortunately, my athlete's patch can't treat the disease, and he doesn't lack arms and legs ..."

Li Dai lowered his head for a long time, and then asked: "Do you think his body can adapt to the nba confrontation?"

Cassell thought about it and replied: "The weight of 225 pounds is a bit thin, and it must be a loss in physical confrontation. This weight is barely suitable for nba. But his bounce and wingspan are first-class, rebounding ability and awareness They are also very good, the key is that his shooting feel is very soft, and he has a three-point shooting technique. "

"Sounds suitable for high position and arc top coping." Li Dai frowned and thought about it, then said: "It's a pity that his talent does not play basketball. I will let him go to my training center for a few months. , I want to investigate and investigate him. If he can make me satisfied, give him a two-way contract! This is a young man with dreams, if possible, I am willing to help him realize his dream! "

...

Auston knew what it meant to receive Li Dai ’s training invitation.

Although not in the Clippers' trial training, but in the physical fitness training center, Auston knew that this was a knocking brick into the NBA. If he can get Li Dai's approval, he has the opportunity to enter the NBA to play. .

For Auston, even if you can't go to nba, it is a good thing to be able to play in nba's development league. Every year, the Development League will keep a lot of lost rookies and low-ranked rookies. If Aston goes to play in the Development League, at least he will be on the same starting line as this year's low-ranked rookies and lost rookies.

For a patient with Marfan syndrome, it is already a very rare opportunity to be able to compete with normal people.

However, when Aston saw Li Dai's training plan, he couldn't help but stunned.

"Coach Li, there is an hour of nap every day in this training program? What does this mean?" Auston asked subconsciously.

"Just go to bed after lunch to sleep." Li Dai explained.

Americans are not used to taking a nap. At noon, if they have time to rest, they will definitely choose a cup of coffee instead of finding a place to sleep for a while. So Auston didn't understand the meaning of nap at all.

Li Dai explained from the side: "Siesta is good for the body. German scientists have relevant research. They think that the lunch break is part of the natural sleep cycle. In my opinion, besides eliminating sleepiness, nap It can protect the heart, I think it will help your current situation. "

The most fatal part of Marfan syndrome is cardiovascular disease, especially aortic aneurysm. Aortic aneurysm rupture is the most common cause of death in Marfan syndrome. So Li Dai's siesta can protect the heart, but it is in line with Auston's situation.

Although Aston felt that Li Dai's statement was not reliable, he still nodded and agreed to the principle of satisfying the coach.

In order to be able to go to nba, take a nap!

...

In patients with Marfan syndrome, as long as the heart has no lesions, it is no problem to participate in sports, and Auston has also been approved by the doctor. He can play basketball.

Therefore, the physical training of Auston is also carried out according to the standards of normal people.

After lunch, Auston followed Li Dai's arrangement, lay down in the lounge, and began to take a nap.

In order to allow Aston to fall asleep faster, in the lunch menu, Li Dai specially added some rice, and it is strictly forbidden to drink coffee.

Ingesting carbohydrates will increase blood sugar, making people more sleepy. Many people in European and American countries do not eat too many carbohydrates during lunch, so they will not be sleepy at noon.

As for the prohibition of drinking coffee, it is also natural to avoid coffee stimulating the nervous system. Those European countries that leave work at three or four in the afternoon all work immediately after lunch. In order to ensure the efficiency of the afternoon work, they must drink a cup of coffee after lunch, especially Italians. Extraordinary spirit in the afternoon.

After eating rice and not drinking coffee, Auston did feel sleepy, and the morning training also consumed a lot of his physical strength, so it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

At the same time, Li Dai used the dream maker gyro to start dream training.

In Li Dai's view, although Auston has a class-A basketball talent, after all, he is not a healthy person, so it is impossible to have a bursting body like other nba players.

7 feet 1 inch, 225 pounds, it is indeed a little thin, this figure is very disadvantageous on the inside, but Li Dai does not plan to gain weight for Auston, because Auston suffers from Marfan syndrome, Ma The most fatal of Fang syndrome is heart disease. If you gain weight, the pressure on the heart will also increase, which may cause cardiac complications. For the safety of Auston's life, Li Dai will also let him maintain his current weight.

A basketball player, since he can't improve from the physical aspect, he can only start from the technical and game experience aspects.

It takes time to practice techniques, and it takes a lot of competition to increase experience, so Li Dai chose to use the dream maker's gyro, 1 to 10 times, so that Aston can get technology and experience in the dream.

...

Auston had a dream, he dreamed that he really became a member of the Clippers, and then appeared on the nba field.

Auston wanted to play nba in his dreams, and now he really dreams.

Then there was a road that was slammed, blocked, intercepted, scammed, fouled, defensive missed ...

In just a few minutes, Auston left six offenses.

Although it was in a dream, Auston was still very angry.

However, as soon as the picture in front of Auston changed, he stood on the field again, and he was the nba he wanted to play in his dream. The new game started again.

Blocked, intercepted, cheated, fouled, defensive missed, six offenses left, Auston experienced it again.

In the next second, the picture in front of Auston changed and he started a new game. He was still blocked, intercepted, cheated, fouled, defensively missed, six offenses left ...

A rookie, appeared in the nba game, this performance is normal.

But Auston also summarized time and time again that he started to score goals and succeeded in defending. He was not easily cheated into fouls, and he would not leave the court with six offenses in the first quarter.

Auston himself did not know how many games he played and how many six-offences he had left. Until the bell rang in his head, Auston suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying In the lounge, he also recalled that he should follow Li Dai's arrangement and was taking a nap.

"I had such a strange dream. I just dreamed of hitting the nba, and then being mad." Aston returned to reality and shook his head, then stood up to prepare for the afternoon training.

At night, Auston had another dream. He dreamed that he was standing on the training ground, practicing the pace of the basket.

This night he slept for seven hours. In the dream, he practiced for seventy hours under the basket.

The next night, Aston practiced hooking for 70 hours in his dream.

On the third night, Auston played seventy hours in the dream.

In NBA, the average rotation player's average playing time is less than 30 minutes. Based on 82 games in a season, a player can play more than forty hours in a season.

Auston's lunch break and sleep at night can play 80 hours of games in the dream, which is equivalent to the amount of games for an nba rotation player for two seasons.

One day is equal to two seasons, five days is equal to ten seasons, playing ten days in a dream game, Auston's game experience is comparable to a veteran with a 20-year career.

Even if you look at the history of NBA, there are not many people who can play basketball for 20 years.

...

Auston felt tired. This was not physically tiring, but mentally tiring.

Every time he sleeps, he always has some strange dreams, such as various trainings, such as being abused by nba superstars on the basketball court.

Auston really wanted to play basketball in his dreams, but when he really played basketball every time he dreamed, he was really upset.

He even confided to the doctor during the reexamination, and the doctor gave the answer that he was too stressed or wanted to play too much, so he always dreamed like that.

Auston can't help it. People can't help but sleep. Moreover, being able to face off with those NBA superstars in a dream is also a very cool thing.

...

New York, NBA headquarters.

"Mr. President, we have just been informed by the Clippers that they intend to give Saia-Oston a two-way contract." The secretary said and handed a document to nba president Adams.

"Auston, the child who lost one eye and still has Marfan syndrome!" Adams nodded. He still remembers that he was elected in the name of nba at the draft conference a few months ago. After Auston, it was a charity.

"This kid's story is indeed very inspirational. Although God abandoned him, he didn't give up on himself. He is still working hard. Since there is a team willing to give him a two-way contract, that is also a good thing." Adams put down his documents And then said: "I really hope that other teams can be like the Clippers, don't always care about those tens of thousands of dollars, do more charity, create a good reputation for nba, and also help nba promotion! "

As Adams said, for everyone, the Clippers signed Auston is doing charity.

How can a patient with Marfan syndrome go to nba? Maybe even the development league game can't adapt. Sign him for money, isn't he doing charity?

...

Marcus was the nba's first center before being injured. He has a standard center figure, a strong body, flexible feet, exceptional bounce, and great skills. He has been selected to the All-Star many times, and has followed the US team to win the Olympic men's basketball championship.

At the end of last season, Marcus left his Achilles tendon torn, not only missed all the games of that season, but also missed a whole season for the sake of injury.

Now, Marcus's injury is finally healed, and the new season is coming.

However, Marcus did not feel that he had not been on the field for more than a year, and his feel and condition were not very good, so he decided to play a few low-intensity games to restore his condition and feel.

So Marcus took the initiative to decentralize to the development alliance, wanting to go through the development alliance to abuse vegetables, looking for the state and feel.

The first opponent Marcus encountered in the Development League was the Ontario Clippers, which is a sub-team of the Los Angeles Clippers in the Development League.

This opponent, Marcus is a little unfamiliar, he does not even know what the opponent's name is.

Of course, before Marcus came to the Development League, he didn't even know what his teammates were called.

The dazzling nba first center, the All-Star starting player, how can you pay attention to the development of the league!

And Marcus feels that he is here to abuse the vegetables to develop the alliance. Which strong man will remember the name of the chicken!

But just before the game, the team coach specifically called Marcus aside.

"Marcus, our opponent ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ has a player against you, called Sai Austun, you should pay special attention to him during the game," the coach said.

"Pay special attention? Isn't he very powerful? Rest assured, I will beat him." Marcus said with a lip, and in his opinion, even if the players of the Development League are even more powerful, it is a rookie.

"No, no, you misunderstood what I meant. This Aston is a draft rookie this year. He has Marvin syndrome." The coach explained.

"When you say that, I remembered that he was the disabled person who was blind and sick! I saw his story on the news, a poor man who was abandoned by God, okay, look at For his poor part, I will let him, I will not bully the disabled. "Marcus said.

"That's what I mean." The coach paused, and then said: "Also, if possible, let him get two points. It's not easy for this kid to play, we have to sympathize with him."

"Understood, I will give him a chance to score, it is to do charity!" Marcus smiled, and then said: "I will bring him my signature jersey, he will love it."
