Chapter 330: The Road to the Throne.
By the time training camp had hit the two-week mark, Nikola Jokić had finally returned from Serbia.
If it were up to him, he would've stayed in Sombor, soaking in the slow life a little longer.
But Han Sen wasn't about to let that happen.
A championship came with a price, and for Jokić? That price was work.
The best horse in Sombor was his now, sure. But that wasn't a free ride.
Han knew Jokić had been training back home—but at best, it was maintenance work, not the kind of grind that pushed him to the next level.
So as soon as he landed in Cleveland, Han put him on a specialized regimen.
He even brought in a trainer specifically to improve Jokić's pick-and-roll execution.
This season, the competition was tougher. The Cavaliers' rivals were stronger.
Jokić had to level up.
