Deng Fang didn't care at all about the ridicule from these media.
On the contrary, what he wants is the attention of these media.
How can you get attention if there is no controversy?
How can you get traffic without following?
How to make money without traffic?
Sooner or later, this team will belong to him, so of course he has to do his best to build momentum!
In addition, Deng Fang gained a lot in the summer league.
Although he watched a lot of football and played a lot before, Deng Fang rarely spoke in front of everyone, let alone led the team to make various decisions under the spotlight.
This ability needs to be practiced.
Now Deng Fang is no longer afraid. Whether on or off the court, Deng Fang can be calm and unhurried.
As for when to call a timeout and under what circumstances to make targeted arrangements, Deng Fang has no problem.
In addition, Curry also made great progress in the summer league.
Curry is a very smart player, and Deng Fang understood what to do as soon as he talked to him.
Previous coaches have repeatedly reminded him that as a point guard, his first task is to pass the ball.
Even if you shoot, you should shoot less three-pointers.
The closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage!
These are golden rules and cannot be violated.
So Curry restrained his impulse to take action.
Now Deng Fang told him not to think about it and he had the opportunity to boldly shoot a three-pointer. Curry's shot was so exciting!
On the defensive end, Curry also restrained his urge to reach out and never committed more than 4 fouls in a game, fulfilling Deng Fang's requirements very well.
This made Deng Fang very satisfied.
I have to say, being young is good, you are so malleable!
If you wait until Curry stays in the NBA for a few years before asking him to change, it will probably be difficult.
Later generations also proved this.
In addition to Curry, Jordan and Curry also have a tacit understanding of the pick-and-roll alley-oop cooperation.
Livingston's body is still recovering and he feels good on the court, but he is often unable to do what he wants.
Deng Fang is not worried. With him here, everything will be easy to talk about.
After the Summer League, Deng Fang continued to study hard.
I learned a lot from watching videos before, but now after leading the team to practice, Deng Fang found that there is still a lot to learn.
After the summer league ended, Deng Fang returned to San Francisco and plunged into the video analysis room to study again.
When you encounter something you don’t understand, look up information online and buy books to learn.
As an NBA team, the Warriors' various technical supports are still very advanced.
With the support of the best learning conditions in the world, Deng Fang's understanding of various tactics became more and more profound, and his knowledge reserve grew rapidly.
…
Time flies by very quickly, and it’s the end of September in a blink of an eye.
There is only one month left for the new season to start.
Training camp for the new season usually starts in early October.
September 25th is the day for Warriors players to report.
Because they are a newly formed team, the Warriors' reporting date is one week earlier than other teams.
As usual, the first press conference of the new season was held first.
At the press conference, it was Deng Fang who attracted the most attention from reporters.
They once again launched rounds of bombings against Deng Fang.
"I heard that the Warriors just laid off several players. The Warriors have only twelve players on their roster for the new season, while other teams have close to twenty in their training camps. Why don't you sign a few more players?"
"No, they are going to inspect new players to determine the roster of players, and our roster for the new season has already been decided, that's all."
"Are you saying that the Warriors' roster for the new season has been decided? Just these twelve players? Are you afraid of injuries?"
"Don't be afraid, our team can conquer the world with these twelve people!"
"I heard that if you don't make it to the playoffs in the new season, you'll be fired, right?"
"No, I will be dismissed if I can't win the championship!"
…
After the press conference, the Warriors began their first training session.
This is also the first time Deng Fang has appeared in front of all Warriors players.
Standing in the center of Oracle Arena, general manager Tim introduced Deng Fang to the players.
The players applauded.
Although he is the new head coach, and although many players know that Deng Fang is a novice, no matter what, he is the head coach now, and you have to listen to him.
What's more, the team's thorns have been cleared away.
These people now are either rookies or good old guys, and no one will take the initiative to challenge Deng Fang's authority.
In addition, all the newcomers also know why they came to the team.
Because of Deng Fang!
The Warriors are going through a big change in the new season, and most of the players are new.
The only original players are Azubuike, Anthony Moreau, Belinelli and Turiaf.
Among these four, only Azubuike was the main player last season.
Azubuike was also very knowledgeable because of Deng Fang's treatment of his illness. He always praised Deng Fang for his greatness when he met others.
Of course, most of the players on the team dismissed it.
It’s not the first day for everyone to play, so who hasn’t been injured?
Who doesn’t know how long it will take for an injury to heal?
Can sprained feet be cured in three minutes?
Even three days is impossible?
Unless your sprained foot is not serious and you can walk and jump.
However, no one wanted to expose Azubuike in public, especially the veterans.
Everyone wants to see what Deng Fang is capable of.
Amid applause, Deng Fang came to the center of the arena and greeted all the players with a smile.
Since they had a lot of interactions with Deng during the summer league, Curry, DeAndre Jordan, and Livingston were obviously more enthusiastic.
Azubuike also applauded very hard.
Lopez, Belinelli, Turiaf, Tolliver and Prince also have good attitudes.
Although this is the first time they meet, they are all obedient and good-tempered players after all.
Lagabel and Radmanovich were a little different. Their attitudes were tepid and they stood aside and looked at Deng Fang coldly.
Laga Bell has followed the Suns in the playoffs many times. Every time he was the defensive arrow figure for the opponent, and he was also the number one figure in the league.
Radmanovic played in the Finals with the Lakers the year before last and was also an important member of the Lakers at the time.
As veterans with certain achievements, the two of them still have some ideas of their own.
When the applause stopped, Deng Fang said: "Hello everyone, I am Deng Fang, the new head coach of the team. From today on, we are a family. We must work together to win the championship trophy."
"Our team is newly formed, and many players are new. We have never worked together before. Many people meet for the first time today, but this does not prevent us from fighting together because we all have a common goal.
The goal is to win the championship."
At this time, Radmanovic stood up: "Mr. Deng, I admit that our goal should be the championship. But our team is newly formed. Should we lower our goal a little? This will be more realistic."
actual?"
Deng Fang replied calmly: "No, our goal is the championship!"
"Who doesn't brag? Do you think we beat the Lakers or the Cavaliers and Celtics?" Radmanovic asked with a sneer.
