Chapter 167 Career Turning Point

On the other hand, the passing ability also needs to be developed by Qian Ning in the future. When he was a blue-collar worker before, Qian Ning didn't have to worry about observing defense, passing support and other things. He only needed to run to the basket and receive passes from his teammates. , Easy to eat cakes.

But now he has become the leader of the team. For other teams, he is the most important defender. The outside line is close to the outside, the wings are shrunk to close the door, and the center in the penalty area helps to defend. It is very difficult to score every point. Channing can no longer hold the ball. He just rushed in. He needs to learn to observe the defensive situation, aim at the weakest defensive link, conduct a single-point quick blast, or pass the ball directly, so that the teammate with the best chance can get the ball in time.

This is the responsibility of the boss of the team. As the absolute core of the team, the boss must not only have a terrifying scoring ability, but also have a superb ball quotient with insight into defense, and a skillful passing technique. If these aspects are improved , Coupled with Channing's already strong individual defense and defense capabilities, Channing is confident that he will become a qualified leader in Philadelphia.

"Let Cheeks deal with the problems of the team manager and teammates. The first thing I have to solve is to pay close attention to training and try to improve my personal technical shortcomings."

After careful consideration, Chen Ning felt a sense of enlightenment about his situation. No matter how to solve the problems of the team manager and teammates, or whether they could be solved, it was not something he should worry about. As a player, a As a star who is aiming to be an outstanding player, what Chan Ning should do most is to constantly hone his skills.

"dong dong"

"Shh!"

In the arena in the middle of the night, there are only such sounds, such as the quick and concise sound of hitting the ball, the sound of friction between the sneakers and the floor when jumping at full speed, and the sound of hollow hits. Dang strike iron.

"No, squat too deep before take-off!"

"No, the center of gravity is unstable when shooting!"

"Not good, the projection speed is too slow!"

After practicing a few shots, the young people in the arena stopped briefly and shook their heads again and again, dissatisfied with their shooting movements. After thinking about it for a while, the sound of practice continued.

"Have you ever seen Philadelphia at four o'clock in the morning?"

After posting such a hypocritical Weibo, Channing finally ended tonight's special training.

"It's not bad. I feel that the whole shooting movement is much more coherent and more and more natural. I will continue tomorrow."

Stretching, Qian Ning fell asleep beautifully.

……

The other two were still up, Cheeks and Saunders were staying up all night in their respective offices with red eyes.

"What should I do? Take a step up and become the team manager? Or do the work of the head coach honestly?"

Cheeks is hesitant. Owner Ed Snyder has already talked to him and expressed his desire to let Cheeks take over Billy King's job as team manager. superior.

Ordinarily this is good news, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After being suppressed by Billy King for so many years, Cheeks finally became a serf and sang. The temptation to be the true manager and decision maker of the Philadelphia 76ers was too great for Cheeks, who had been the head coach for years.

One is the head coach and the other is the team manager. There is a big difference between the two. Just like the executive chef and the chef in charge of a five-star hotel, the responsibility of the head coach is to make the existing team The management, training, tactical arrangements, and game command of the players in the game are just like being in charge of cooking. At best, they are just a cook, but the team manager is different. Let’s not talk about the team’s various business activity planning and fan activity arrangements. , the most simple and intuitive, the team manager has a high decision-making power in terms of player transactions, while the head coach only has the right to suggest.

But Cheeks is still a little hesitant. Let’s not talk about business event planning, etc., which Cheeks has never touched before, and he is not interested in doing it at all. Let’s just talk about the transaction, how to deal with it Which is best for the team?How to maximize the ability of the players who are about to be sent away? There are so many teams in the NBA, and many team managers are old and cunning foxes. Cheeks has no confidence in dealing with them frequently in the future.

What to do, Cheeks had a bottle of wine in his left hand and a cigarette in his right. Looking at the city outside the window, he couldn't sleep all night.

The same is true for Sanders. After the boss Ed Snyder talked to Cheeks, Cheeks also found Sanders immediately and told his old partner for many years the good news.

"Promoted to head coach? Can I do it?"

Sanders' thoughts drifted back to many years ago. At that time, he was a young man in his thirties who had just become an assistant coach of a certain team. Sanders, who was in his youth, dreamed of becoming an official coach. Coach, another 30 or [-] years have passed in a flash, and Sanders has been lingering in the same place, unable to make further progress. No one thought that the young man back then became a gray-haired old man, and the dream of the head coach has long been locked in a box .

"I never thought that I would still be the head coach at my age. What a twist of fate."

Saunders was full of emotions. The job of the head coach is exhausting. After following Cheeks for so long, Saunders is deeply touched. At this age, is he really going to suffer?It seems that it is a better choice to stay in the position of assistant coach and retire safely in a few years.

What to do, Sanders had a bottle of wine in his left hand and a cigarette in his right. Looking at the city outside the window, he also couldn't sleep all night.

Fate is like this. Some people are born at a height that others can't reach in their lifetime, but it doesn't matter. Ordinary people still have their happiness. Through hard work and seizing opportunities, ordinary people can also live a wonderful life.

This is the case for Channing, Cheeks, and Sanders. At this time, the three of them have reached a turning point in their respective careers at the same time.

Two days later, the Philadelphia 76ers ushered in the challenge of the Eagles, which is also the last game in November.

Dalembert still hangs up the waiver card. The inside line is only rookie Smith, Reggie Evans who suffers from height, and Channing who sometimes has to fill the center position. The inside line of the Eagles is Al Horford, Moonstone-Smith , Slag Pachulia, there is no doubt that Philadelphia's inside line has been blasted to scum again.

At the end of the game, even though Channing scored a game-high 32 points, he still couldn't lead the team to victory. The Eagles had [-] more rebounds than Philadelphia. This gap was too big to make up.
