When Xu Nuo left the player massage room with his teammates and came to the team training ground, their head coach Larry Brown was discussing the main content of today's training with his assistant coaches.Coach Larry Brown's coaching team has a total of three assistant coaches: the chief assistant coach is the former Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw who just defected from the Los Angeles Lakers this summer; the second assistant coach is Since 1997, Dan Burke, a veteran of the Indiana Pacers, has been in the Indiana Pacers since joining the "Big Bird" Bird's coaching team in 1997. For 14 years, this season has been his No.15 season with the Pacers; and the third assistant coach is the former Houston Rockets assistant coach Jim Boye who was just hired by the team this summer.

Boylen has also served as an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors and the Milwaukee Bucks. This summer, after Mike Brown announced his appointment as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, he once hoped to invite Jim Boylen as the Lakers. assistant coach, but instead of going to Los Angeles, Jim Boylen ended up with the Indiana Pacers.

Seeing Coach Larry Brown this time is already the second time he promised to meet the famous NBA coach. Coach Larry Brown is a 71-year-old man, and it seems that his hair has completely turned silvery white. It feels almost the same as the former Chinese national team coach "Silver Fox" Harris.Coach Larry Brown has started his coaching career since 1972 and once led the University of Kansas to win the NCAA championship. During his more than 20 years of NBA coaching career, Coach Larry Brown has coached 7 teams in total. They are the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Indianapolis Pacers, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Detroit Pistons, the New York Knicks and the Charlotte Bobcats. Coached the Indiana Pacers for the second time.In more than 20 years of NBA coaching career, coach Larry Brown once led the Detroit Pistons to win the NBA championship in 2004. The total score of the coaching team has reached 1327 wins and 1011 losses, becoming a famous player in NBA history. "Coach Qiansheng", and entered the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach on September 2002, 9, is known as one of the greatest coaches in basketball history.And it is precisely because of these great achievements of the old coach Larry Brown that Xu Nuo respects the old coach very much.

"Is everyone here?" Coach Larry Brown looked at Xu Nuo and they walked into the training ground and asked.

"It's all here," replied team captain Danny Granger.

Coach Larry Brown looked at those players, and his eyes swept over Xu Xu twice, which made Xu Nuo feel a little uncomfortable.Coach Larry Brown nodded slightly. "Everyone come here," he said.

So everyone gathered around Coach Larry Brown and his three assistant coaches.

"I don't think I need to introduce myself," Coach Larry Brown said to everyone in a very stern tone. "What I want to say is actually very simple. Our team must establish very clear discipline. No one can violate it!" Coach Larry Brown said and looked at Danny Granger and Darren Collison, and the two "big guys" in the team just lowered their heads and listened to Larry. I didn't say a word about Coach Lee Brown's words.

"I hope that the team I coach can become an iron army, a real iron-blooded army. No matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, we should not shrink back, but go straight to the difficulties!" Larry · Coach Brown continued, "I think everyone knows that I am a defensive-oriented coach, so we have to build our tough defense, just like the Detroit Pistons did!"

Everyone didn't talk much, and no one raised any objections to what Coach Larry Brown said. Coach Larry Brown's sternness and iron-fisted rule, Xu Nuo finally saw it.Although the Indiana Pacers are a very young team, Xu Nuo believes that as long as there is coach Larry Brown, the team will have hope. After all, coach Larry Brown is a rare player in the NBA who is good at leading weak teams to turn around Although the Indiana Pacers cannot be regarded as an underdog in the strict sense, the team also entered the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs last season.But Xu Nuo also knows that Coach Larry Brown has very strict and demanding requirements for players in the position of point guard, but Xu Nuo thinks this is a good thing, which can help him improve his basketball skills and tactics.

However, before coming to the training session, Xu Nuo originally thought that the team's first day of training camp would be very relaxed, at most it would be just playing together and shooting a few random shots, as if it was just a formality.But now Xu Nuo realizes that he was wrong. Under the leadership of their head coach Larry Brown, the players are training their defense crazily, almost starting from the most basic defensive moves. This is the first time for Xu Nuo Tasted the hard work of NBA training.After the regular practice, Coach Larry Brown let everyone shoot the ball by themselves.Originally, Xu Nuo wanted to take a break, and his training clothes were completely soaked, but seeing that everyone was training so hard, Xu Nuo dared not relax anymore.

At this time, the players were sweating and practicing on the court. Several inside players of the team, such as Roy Hibbert, Josh McRoberts, Solomon Jones and Jeff Foster, were in the assistant team. Under the leadership of coach Jim Boylen, he worked hard on inside skills, including offense and defense; while Danny Granger and Dengtai Jones were having a one-on-one bullfight on the court (Xu Nuo was surprised that Coach Larry Brown allowed their own players in practice one-on-one); and in the half-court opposite Danny Granger, Darren Collison, AJ Price and George Hill were competing for free throws , So promised to pick up a basketball and walked towards them.

"Hi, Darren." Xu Nuo greeted Darren Collison, this was the first time he spoke to Darren Collison.

"Hello, newcomer." Darren Collison said to Xu Nuo with a smile, "Nice to meet you."

"I am also very glad to meet you," Xu Nuo said, "I also ask the senior to give me some advice."

Darren Collison laughed.

"I've only been in this league for two years," he said. "How can I talk about coaching? If you want to talk about coaching, you still have to find George. He entered the league a year earlier than me."

Both George Hill and AJ Price laughed.

"Your name is Promise, if I remember correctly?" Darren Collison asked.

"Yes." Xu Nuo nodded.

"Promise?" AJ Price on the side scratched his head, "This name sounds very good."

"My name means promise in Chinese," Xu Nuo explained, "it should mean acceptance in English."

"Oh," AJ Price scratched his head again, "I like that name," he said.

"Thank you." Xu Nuo said.

"How are you doing in America?" Darren Collison asked.

"It's good. My parents also came to the United States to take care of me. Everything is fine," Xu Nuo said.

"Where do you live now?" Darren Collison asked
"In the northwest of the city center, on the banks of the Ohio River, it seems to be near Purdue University." Xu Nuo said.

"Really?" This time it was George Hill's turn to ask the promise.

"Yes." Xu Nuo nodded.

"My family is there too, I guess we won't be too far away." George Hill said with a smile.

"Really?" Xu Nuo said excitedly, "That's great."

"George's hometown is Indianapolis," Darren Collison said to Xu Nuo with a smile, "If you are interested in any place in Indianapolis, it is the most appropriate to ask him."

George Hill laughed.

After that, Xu Nuo competed with Darren Collison and the three of them for free throws. Each of them made ten free throws.As a result, Darren Collison made all ten free throws and easily won the first place, followed by George Hill who made nine free throws, while Xu Nuo and AJ Price both made eight free throws. Leeson clamored for overtime.

"Forget it," Xu Nuo said, "according to seniority, I should be the one to go."

"No!" Darren Collison yelled, "It's a question of strength, not a question of seniority. Each of you vote again and see who has the best luck."

As AJ Price missed the free throw, Price looked at Promise and scratched his head.

"AJ, it's okay, I'm going to buy a Coke after training later." Darren Collison said to AJ Price with a smile.

"I know!" AJ Price said.

Xu Nuo's first training session was over quickly, and for Xu Nuo, it felt like he had just entered the entrance of the highway, and there was a long, long, long journey ahead of him As for him, in the heart of the promise, he is looking forward to this trip very much, no matter what difficulties he will encounter ahead.
