NBA Tyrant

Chapter 8

"Young big man, since you have an idea, let's talk!, though, just say to me, man, don't go to management and bosses, listen to me, it's only good for you, don't worry, I'll pass your thoughts on to management!".

Head coach Johnny looked at Howard with a smile and was happy to have more layers of communication with Howard, which would boost the relationship between the two.

"I understand, coach, so I'm just going to tell you what I think!" Howard nodded, indeed, most team management in the NBA resents players interfering in team operations, especially when it comes to team transactions, which makes them feel enslaved, as management will never allow players to be above the team.

"If you understand, then let's talk about your so-called big four small lineup, originally the team's goal in the new season is to make the playoffs and develop your potential step by step during the season, but if you have a good idea, without affecting the team's goals, I don't think I mind trying it!"

"Well, that's right..."Howard directly told the head coach about the Finals lineup that Stan Van Gundy created for the Magic and Howard to break into the Finals.

Johnny is a rookie coach, if it is replaced by other championship coaches, a hard-line coach like Larry Brown, if Howard says even one word about the team's lineup and tactics, it is estimated that he will be kicked out of the office, and even in his rookie season, Howard often sits on the cold bench, in their eyes, a newcomer like a hairy boy dares to point fingers at himself, which is simply the opposite.

"Wow, I have to say, Howard, according to what you said, this lineup, if it's in the crunch time, I think it can definitely work wonders," head coach Johnny sighed.

"It's really unbelievable, are you really less than 19 years old, you can come up with such a

lineup, and it's very suitable for you, I think if you retire, you can consider becoming a coach, tsk!" "Ahem, this, in fact, is just my personal idea, if the coach thinks it's okay, you might as well try! This is just my superficial idea, I think the coach will definitely be able to improve and enrich the tactics of this lineup." Howard coughed awkwardly, and patted the head coach's ass by the way, almost forgetting that he was Howard who was less than 19 years old, not a Chinese in his thirties.

"Well, I'll seriously consider what you said, our goal is the same, Howard, whether it matches this lineup or not, one thing remains the same, and that is to improve yourself and adapt to the intensity of the NBA game, so that you can lead the team and lead your teammates to more victories!"

Johnny's eyes gradually changed from admiration to seriousness, "and only by achieving better results will we have more say at that time."

"Yes, coach, speak with results!" "The coach

is right, only the stronger he is, the better the team's record, the more he has the right to speak in the team, the little emperor James of later generations, when he was in the Cavaliers, is basically a word, why, isn't it because the Cavaliers can't do without James, whether the team's record or the fans buy tickets, they have to rely on James to obtain and attract.

"Well, then Howard, when are you going to practice Dream Footsteps!" Johnny felt that this exchange with Howard was undoubtedly a success, and although the two of them did not talk about everything, they could at least be open and honest.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll fly to Houston and learn from Olajuwon. I will learn the dream footsteps before the preseason, almost 2 months, enough!" "

The footsteps of Olajuwon, even Kobe Bryant humbly asked for advice and learned, and Kobe Bryant is very perfect to use in actual combat, combined with his back singles, the effect is very good, if I can learn, in the interior, when facing a heavy center, there is no need to rely on physical talent like the traditional inside, through hard chisel and pure hand-to-hand combat to score.

This can greatly save physical strength and reduce the consumption of the body, you know, relying on the body to play inside, many basically after the age of 30, the overall strength began to decline, and the decline is very large, the whole career is very short.

As a person of later generations, Howard said that he rarely had Howard's life, but he didn't want to have such a short career like their blue-collar workers, and he still wanted to have a 20-year career.

"It's very good, young people have to have that confidence, and I believe you can learn to dream big, but, Howard, our team's training time is September 10th, and you're going to get back to Orlando before that time and get to know your teammates, don't forget.

Head coach Johnny reminded.

"Don't worry, head coach, I'll be back in early September, and I'll definitely surprise you when the time comes!" Howard is confident and believes in his talent for learning.

After all, the original Howard, his shooting ability is very poor, and the free throws are even more miserable, isn't Howard practicing, it's definitely impossible, on the contrary, he must have practiced in the arena in private, and maybe in training, the shooting will not be too bad, but in the game, it is still unsatisfactory, why?

Learning talent, as well as mentality, learning talent is good, will be like a sponge, extremely fast to absorb water, for their own use, and self-confidence and stable mentality, can learn something, not to say 100% of the show, but can also reach more than 80% in actual combat competitions.

This is also why so many people learn Jordan's subject comparison, but only Kobe Bryant is the most like Jordan, and no one has ever compared Kobe.

And now Howard, who can have the original terrifying body, can also have a mid-to-long-range shooting rate of nearly 90%, which is enough to show that Howard is now talented in learning and soft touch.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your surprise, and now, I'm going to go to general manager Wiesbrod and the owner to talk about the team's lineup, and by the way, bring your thoughts forward," head coach Johnny patted Howard on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I would say that it is my own idea and attempt, and it is true that this star-studded system can perfectly show your abilities and is very suitable for you, I think the management will agree. "

Okay, coach, I'll go home first!" Seeing Johnny nod, Howard got up and left the office.

Howard, who came home, thought back to the 04-05 season, if I remember correctly, 05 was the Spurs winning the championship, and the Pistons' Finals were the lowest-rated Finals in the history, which made Stern angry.

The Spurs' GDP troika is really strong, and they seem to have won four championships together, but the funny thing is that none of these four championships are connected.

The ability he has shown to the team now is much higher than that of the original Howard, if the team plays a one-star four-shot system according to a large and four small lineup, plus his perfect upgrade, the first few years of the original Howard's development potential will be shortened.

So, will he be able to reach the finals and win the championship in advance?

When Howard was still imagining that he would be able to enter the finals and championships in a few years, he didn't know that head coach Johnny was ashen.

On the other hand, shortly after Howard left, head coach Johnny came to the office of general manager Wiesbrodt to talk about Maddy's transfer deal.

"Johnny, why do you have time to come to me, is there something wrong?" General Manager Wiesbrod looked at Johnny who came in suspiciously.

"General manager, I have some ideas, I want to discuss with you, we all know that Maddie is leaving soon, so, I think, we should consider using Maddie's value in exchange for some players to build a suitable lineup around Howard, you also know Howard's ability, because he did not show his mid-to-long-range shooting ability, his strength was underestimated a lot by the scouts, I believe that a set of lineups suitable for Howard, in the new season, can make the team achieve a good record, and Howard will definitely be able to grow up quickly, when entering the playoffs

Johnny was about to continue his conversation about lineup building and tactics when he was interrupted by general manager Wiesbrodt.

"Hey, man, wait, I understand, as a new coach and a rookie coach, you want to do well in the new season!

"You know, what we're going to face without Maddie? First of all, stadium tickets, without Maddie, without superstars, fans won't buy tickets to see a civilian or even a belly team play," general manager Visbred paused.

"Secondly, when appointing you as head coach, I also said that it was just a temporary signing for one season, just a transition, please don't interfere too much with the team's deal.

General Manager Wiesbrodt had a warning look in his eyes.

"In the end, the boss has already thought about trading Maddie for a similar star, of course, a less than equal star can also accept it, and it is okay to add more expiring contracts or draft picks, understand?"

"But... In this case, in exchange for the star, plus Hill, then Howard has no ball and tactical position, which is not conducive to Howard's growth, and now we all know that the future of the Magic team is in Howard. Johnny listened to the general manager's words, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

"You also said, it's the future, not the present, let's talk about this year first, if the team has no income, it's all in vain!"

"It's... Can you tell us which star the team is going to trade for?" Johnny saw that the general manager, Wiesbrodt, was determined, and knew that the general manager should have contacted the trade partner.

"Well, as the head coach, you are still qualified to know, we are currently mainly considering the Rockets' offer, they want to exchange Francis, of course, Francis must not be exchanged, the specific offer, has not yet been decided!"

General Manager Weisbrod knew that since Johnny came to talk about the transaction, then he must have his own ideas, so he simply told Johnny directly that the management had made a decision to let Johnny extinguish his own ideas.

"Francis, it was still good to cooperate with China's Da Yao before, but he was too possessive, and the Rockets will definitely take Da Yao as the core after that, and it is impossible to give Francis too much ball, which will affect Da Yao's development, and I think this is why the Rockets want to trade him. Johnny

looked down and pondered, Francis is also an All-Star and can give the fans a great performance, but his defense is a weakness, and he is not consistent in the game, and there are basically no three-point points....

"Okay, Johnny, you don't have to think about that now, wait for the team to decide on the lineup, and then look at the performance after the team training camp starts.

Seeing that Johnny had no intention of leaving, the general manager Weisbrod was still sitting on his chair and muttering something, with some of the meaning of sending off the customer.

"General manager, I've asked Howard to go to Houston to learn from the big dream, I believe Howard can practice, okay, I want to say, even if Francis is introduced, I hope that in the new season, the team will play around Howard, Howard's style of play is full of power and beauty, there is no problem at all to attract fans, and it will definitely bring us surprises and victories!".

Johnny continues to fight for Howard's central position, because Johnny knows very well that compared to Howard, who can accept himself and tie himself to him, Francis has already made a name for himself and is unlikely to look up to himself as a rookie coach.

"We don't need to think about it, wait until the training camp starts, and let them see the real thing. "General Manager Wiesbrod is already a little impatient.

"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go get busy with you first

!" "Okay! I'll go back!" Johnny got up helplessly, feeling a little guilty about Howard, who didn't have time to tell the general manager about the big and fourth lineup.
