NBA Tyrant

Chapter 11

At 10 a.m. on September 1, Howard watched his two-month training video in his Orlando apartment, and his heart was full of emotion, from layman to beginner to beginner to proficient.

Step by step, the sweat and time paid to transform myself from an inside player with no mid-distance ball-holding offensive ability to a player with a variety of offensive methods, everything is worth it.

Jingle bell, at this time, the mobile phone that was placed on the side rang, Howard took it and looked at it, it was the head coach Johnny called, he told him yesterday, he will return to Orlando today.

Howard remembers that his training videos were passed to head coach Johnny, and he knew the results of his training, so he called him as soon as he came back, thinking that he wanted to discuss the tactical play arrangement with him.

"Hey!" Howard answered.

"Hi Howard, I'm

Johnny, am you free today?" "What's wrong? Coach, what's the matter?"

"Howard, I've seen all the videos of you training in Houston, and besides, I've also shown them to management, and they've seen videos of you training, including the latest video of you and Olajuwon going heads-up," Head Coach Johnny paused.

"Your performance in training has made them feel a lot different about you, and I've almost convinced the management that the new season will start to work out the tactical style around you, and you're not back in Orlando, I'm definitely going to discuss it with you when it comes to the tactical way of playing, so if you have time, come to the stadium

!" "Well, okay, manager, I'll come over now." Hearing that it was about his own tactical play, Howard immediately agreed.

"Well, okay, I'll see you later, bye

!" "Bye!"

Hanging up the phone, Howard sat down on the couch and rubbed his face with his hands.

Sure enough, only by showing enough strength can you have the right to speak, if you just know how to play inside, and you haven't proven that you can adapt to the league and show your inner dominance in the NBA, the management of the Magic team is at most cultivating yourself as a potential rookie step by step.

And once he has the strength to fight against the supergiants, the team's positioning will immediately change, and maybe, now the management of the Magic team still hopes that he can directly become the peak Olajuwon or O'Neal.

In this way, by attracting fans themselves, they can sell more tickets and the team can also get a lot of benefits.

NBA management is basically the face of capitalists, who really cares about feelings, cultivates their own stars, and the two sides reach empathy, too little and too little, forget it, it is a business league in itself, and everything values interests.

I didn't want to think about it, Howard got up and went out, but fortunately, the apartment that Howard rented was not far from the arena, less than 1,000 meters in diameter, and Howard walked directly to it.

Arriving at the head coach's office, Howard sat in front of head coach Johnny and looked at the thick paper on Johnny's desk, quite surprised.

These pieces of paper are full of tactics, but I didn't expect the manager to think so much about the lineup play for the new season.

"Howard, I have studied the system of one big and four small, one star and four stars that you proposed before, and I think it is very feasible, although the current team's lineup configuration is not suitable for this system, but..." Johnny pulled out a few pieces of paper on the table.

"These tactics are what I have formulated for you based on the current lineup, you can take a look.

As he spoke, Johnny handed Howard several pieces of paper full of running routes and finishes.

"Come, you see, I'll explain to you while I do..."Head Coach Johnny enthusiastically pulled over a chair and sat next to Howard.

So, the two had a heated discussion on a few pieces of paper, and it was not until 12 o'clock at noon that the stadium staff came to remind them that it was time to go to lunch, and the two stopped.

"Let's get here for now, Howard, let's go to dinner first, and then we'll continue to discuss and study after eating

!" Head Coach Johnny stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for dinner!" "

Well, I think there are still some things that can be improved, which greatly enriches our offensive ends.

Howard got up and walked with Johnny towards the arena restaurant.

It's the offseason, and the two of them came to the staff cafeteria, where they eat mostly the staff of the stadium, and of course, there is a player-only restaurant next door, but it is not open now.

Howard was surprised to see a familiar figure.

"Hey

, Nelson?" Nelson, who was eating, suddenly heard someone calling for him, and looked up in confusion.

"Wow, boss!"

Nelson stood up from his seat in surprise and walked over to Howard.

"Boss, you didn't play in the summer league later, I heard the coach say that you went to a personal trainer to train?"

Nelson, who walked in front of Howard, looked at Howard, who was stronger again, and the corners of his eyes jumped unconsciously, this big chest muscles, this thick arm, tsk, the boss is the boss.

"Yes, I'm going to practice, why are you here?"

Obviously, Nelson didn't know that he was going to learn Dream Steps, the head coach didn't tell Nelson, Howard didn't say much, and looked at Nelson, who was also stronger, in the arena, and wondered.

The team gathered for training on the 10th, did Nelson come over so soon?"

The head coach next to him looked at Nelson appreciatively and explained to Howard.

"Oh, no wonder you can be seen here, Nelson, let's sit down and talk while we eat!" Howard said, his stomach growling with hunger.

"Nelson, what have you been practicing all this time?" ordered the food, and Howard looked at Nelson curiously.

"The coach asked me to focus on three-point shooting and break-through shots!" Nelson told Howard honestly.

"Yes, Howard, I asked Nelson to practice this, mainly so that there are guards in

the team who can match you," head coach Johnny nodded, "You also know, whether Francis and you can coexist, it is unknown at the moment, after all, we are not familiar with him, but Nelson is definitely fine, he is still just a rookie, he does not have a star shelf, and can obey the team and the coach very well." "

Howard can understand that if Francis has a temper, a stand, and is unwilling to obey the tactical arrangement, then he really has to be prepared for both.

In his previous life, Francis was sent away the next year because of his influence on Howard's growth.

Moreover, Nelson has three points, and if he can pass the ball, he can indeed integrate into the one-star shooting system, but the defense is a little worse.

"Nelson, then you have to work hard, the three-point and the passing are done, and I think the coach will definitely be willing to give you more opportunities to play. "

Don't worry, boss, I'm shooting three-pointers right now, and I've hit a maximum of 36 shots in practice!" Nelson patted his chest confidently, indicating that he was completely fine.

After the trio had eaten, Howard and the head coach returned to the office while Nelson continued to practice his three-point and passing at the training ground.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that the general manager's secretary came to Johnny, and the two couldn't finish the discussion on lineup and tactical play.

"Okay, I'll go to the general manager first, eh, Howard, why don't you come along?" Johnny thinks that the general manager should ask about the team's new roster, which is going to be built around Howard anyway, so he just let Howard join in.

"Forget it, head coach, you can discuss it with the general manager, when I really need to be there, it will be better for me to show up again!"

Howard shook his head and refused, now is not a good opportunity to communicate with the team management face-to-face, the best time is to wait for the team's internal training to begin.

What's more, the general manager is looking for the head coach, not himself, and he appears rashly and participates in a small meeting of team building, which may make the management unhappy.

When the time comes, find an opportunity to play intra-team games with the new Francis stars, and after determining your status in the team, you will communicate with the management.

Because my ideal squad is not the existing players, but the team needs to trade some players, so I need to have enough status in the team, and when I talk to the management, I will have more confidence and strength.

However, you can first let the coach communicate his thoughts with the management in advance, and let the management understand what kind of players are needed for the one-star system as early as possible.

"Coach, this time, I have to trouble you and the general manager to talk about our one-star system in detail!" Howard stood up.

"I'm going to give it my all in the first 10 games of the regular season and play dominantly enough to attract players who fit the squad to join our team, and I think the sooner we can build a squad that fits the stars, the better it will be for us to go far.

"So, you and the management need to start thinking about the right players early on, and try to get the whole puzzle done before the trade deadline. Walking

to the door, Howard cheerfully looked back at head coach Johnny.

"Rookie season, coach, in fact, I have a lot of ambitions, let's do something, achieve each other, and surprise the league!"

"Howard, you..." Head coach Johnny vaguely understood Howard's potential meaning, but he was still very surprised to hear Howard say it.

It turned out that Howard's goal was... At just 19 years old, do you have a great goal to pursue seriously?

Okay, Howard, I think I'm going to be a strong supporter for you, and I'm going to support you with all my strength.

"Yes, please, head coach!" Howard nodded and left the office.

"Okay, leave it to me!" said head coach Johnny with a smile on his face.

After Howard left the head coach's office, he didn't go straight home, but went to Nelson to see that Nelson practiced passing with the help of the team's trainer, and then stepped forward.

"Nelson, I'll practice with you

!" "Boss!"

"Come, let's play blocking and dismantling and cooperate with training, pay attention to the timing of passing and cutting." Howard said, calling two staff members to be sparring partners and promising a $100 tip an hour.

Two sparring partners plus a trainer, two for defending Howard and Nelson, and one for standing outside the three-point line in a designated place.

Nelson held the ball, Howard mentioned the three-point line to Nelson to block and dismantle, Nelson borrowed the block to cover, broke through to a step outside the restricted area, and distributed the ball to the unguarded Howard, Howard jumped up and easily completed the dunk.

"Good pass, Nelson!Come again!" Howard and Nelson high-fived.

"You can choose to flank Nelson, or just switch defenses, you don't need to be too serious about defending, but you have to keep up with people, at least you can't get too easy to get by.

Howard instructed the two sparring partners how to defend, and by the way, he brought a few plastic railings from the sidelines and put them in some places on the court to ......

On the other side, head coach Johnny came to the general manager's office.
