There were four people in the office building, and David Hornacek was sitting on a single sofa.A flat-headed black man stood in the middle of the room, dressed in sportswear, about the same height as Wang Jun, with a relatively thin figure and a somewhat nervous expression.Next to him was a white man with small gold-rimmed glasses.He is dressed in leather shoes and five people, but his squinted triangular eyes, his face is full of acne pits, his head is shaking, and the little hair left is combed to one side spoils his image, giving people the feeling of a menopausal uncle who is messing around in the company and waiting for retirement.The white man's name was Jill Adamson and he was the team's first assistant coach.He looked at the small, curly-haired old man sitting at his desk and said foaming at the mouth."
Johnny, I can guarantee that Ricken is a good player and if we want to, we can go to the stadium now and do a full test.Yes, he's a little skinny, but he can run 11 seconds in 100 meters.Do you know what that means, we can play better on the counter-attack in the new season, and he will definitely be able to adapt to the team's tactics very quickly. ”Johnny Straker is the head of the school's athletic department, and if he wants to join the team on a scholarship, in addition to the nod of the coaching staff, he must also agree to sign it.He called David into his office and asked Adamson to introduce the black players, hoping they would agree.With the signing of Ricken, the task of this summer is complete, and he does not have much hope for the Chinese players.Adamson looked like he was going to win."
There is only one full scholarship place left, don't think about it, just sign him.What good player David can come out of the Chinese sports school, our goal this season is to enter the championship, we need immediate combat power, and we have no time to train newcomers.The Chinese you are talking about are not the inner line, but the outer line, does China have a good outer line" David did not sit up and directly listed the facts."
Don't you watch basketball games where Chinese shoot better than local black players, their wrists are very flexible, and even big centers like Yao Ming and others can shoot three-pointers."
We went out last season, not because we didn't fight back fast enough, but because we lacked pitchers.When Carman was trapped, if the outside line could shoot a few more open three-pointers, how could we be out" "Oh, that Chinese is good at shooting, why don't let him test it with Ricken tomorrow, everyone decides together" Adam Senpi smiled and smiled, his expression full of disdain.Ricken Moore is a player from Jackson Christian High School in Michigan, where he was the team's primary scoring guard in high school, specializing in break-ups and fast-breaks.Compared with him, Wang Jun's qualifications are indeed very amateurish.Americans are generally not optimistic about China's outside players, and only Hu Weidong has an impression.He was known as the Chinese Jordan and stretched out his hand comprehensively, but he also failed to make it to the NBA.When it comes to China's outside line, most Americans' first feeling is that their physical fitness is definitely not good.Johnny is very small, and he is only about 1.7 meters tall when he stands up, but he has a lot of aura as a leader.He loudly interrupted the argument between the two."
Whoever the last spot is given to, you all have to agree on the same page.David, I personally prefer to sign Ricken, you said that if the Chinese want to play, they have to find a lawyer to change his visa to a three-year study visa, which is very troublesome, why don't you bring him to meet us today" If you let you see him now, you must agree that it is not qualified.When he first met Wang Jun, David also felt that it was difficult to play well, so he wanted to buy time for Wang Jun."
There's still a month to make a decision, so there's no need to be in such a hurry, it's better for both of them to prepare first, and then test Ricken's three-point shooting after a month, if he can shoot around 50 three-point shooting in practice, I'll have no opinion."
Rickon's face turned ugly, 50 three-point shooting was a fantasy for him, there were no detailed statistics in high school, but he knew that he had made a three-pointer all season, and he was still blind.Even if he practiced non-stop for a month, he couldn't become a pitcher.Adamson laughed, undisguised mockery."
Why wait a month, is the Chinese you said have no face to see people now," David snorted."
Mr.
Adamson, you're just an assistant coach, all the time.No matter what attitude you put on, that won't change, and you'd better show respect.I believe in my own vision, I say a month, it is a month, let them prepare well and face this test with the best mental state.I'm looking forward to the team's good results more than your assistant" "Hmph, let's see, one month at a time." ”Adamson relented, he wasn't the head coach, and the school didn't have the idea of sacking David and letting him take his place.He was very unconvinced, thinking that David was nothing remarkable, and he was only famous because his son was an NBA star.The two go toe-to-toe in the office, and Johnny has a lot of headaches.The poor relationship between the assistant coach and the head coach is a big problem for the team.Adamson was an assistant to the team's previous head coach Brian Eleb and was adept at arranging the defensive system and Brian's fast-break play.He has some skills, the Wolverine's defense has been very solid in recent years, and the failure to produce results is a disadvantage in offense and a lack of star players.In May 2001, Brian left the company, and Adamson was a promising successor.But at this time, the school heard the news that David was living in Ann Arbor, and asked him to come to the team as the head coach, and let Adamson continue to be an assistant.Adamson was not unemployed and his ability to work was recognized, but he didn't get what he wanted.The two worked together for a season, and there were a lot of differences in tactical opinions.David, who came from a basketball family, hopes to play positional battles, combining inside and outside, blocking and dismantling, these NCAA basic tactics, make the team's offense full of layers.Adamson, on the other hand, wanted to play a quick counter-attack while defending solidly.In his opinion, there are many holes on the defensive end of the college team, and it is easiest to increase the tempo to ensure efficiency.As a result, Carman, a sophomore player that David admires, was caught up in the game, and his performance was average, averaging 126 points, 88 rebounds and 176 blocks per game in 20 appearances.In order to strengthen the offense, the Wolverines focused on rapid counterattacks in the second half of the season, and the statistics of outside players improved, but unfortunately they still lost and failed to enter the championship.After the discussion, Adamson and Ricken left first, and Johnny left David to chat."
I don't know what kind of charm that Chinese has to make you insist so much, and I hope that in a month, he won't let us down."
You've got to get results this season, and everybody is under 50 wins. ”"I'm not satisfied with it myself."
David nodded, his face flat."
Believe me, as long as this Chinese remains, the overall strength of the team will be improved to a higher level.""
I hope so."
David knew that if there was no significant improvement in results, the manager would have to be replaced.Last summer, the school contacted Tommy Amak to compete with him, a very experienced guy.He hopes that Wang Jun will win the last spot, not counting on Wang Jun to become the team's scoring champion, but with the presence of a pitcher, Carman can release all his energy.I hope he can succeed, and he will not be like that in a month.David left the office building and immediately called Abby, who planned to personally supervise Wang Jun's training
