The Pope of Basketball Community

People change with their environment, and Jordan's mentality now is different from when he was with the Bulls. ＥΔNovelＷｗ　Ｗ. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

When he was with the Bulls, Jordan was always aloof and felt that no one was inferior to him. He could decide everything and dominate everything. With the Wizards, he became a mortal. If he was not desperate, he would never find someone younger than himself as a coach.

Jordan replied seriously: "Because I think you are amazing. In the past three years, you have proven your coaching ability. Not only do you understand basketball tactics, but you can also discover new talents. No other coach can make a young team as fast as you do." Rise up.”

Sure enough, Yang Rui cut a piece of steak, tasted it and swallowed it, while thinking about the most important question.

If he joins the Wizards, can he control Jordan?

If Jordan had the final say in drafting and trading, even if God were the coach, the Wizards would still have to kneel down and it would be impossible to reach the playoffs.

The media mentioned several times this season that Jordan is more like a player-coach with the Wizards. Even if coach Doug Collins coached the Bulls in the 1980s, he could not be completely obedient and was often robbed of tactical boards.

Yang Rui wants to go to the Wizards to achieve results, not to earn a high salary, be Jordan's nanny, and accompany him on a vigorous retirement tour next season.

The right must be in your own hands.

After thinking about it, he said seriously: "Michael, to be honest, the current lineup of this Wizards team is too bad. It will be difficult for anyone to coach it to achieve good results. If you want to rise next season, you must make a big change and find players who suit the system." , and then run in during the regular season and strive to make a difference in the playoffs. The only thing that attracts me about the Wizards is that you are there."

Jordan felt very comfortable after hearing this. In the summer, he said that when the Wizards came back, no star came to the Wizards to support him. Most people thought he was old, but it turned out that there were still people who were optimistic about him.

Yang Rui continued: "If you want me to join, in addition to a high-paying contract, you will also need trading rights, draft picks, and even team promotion next season. I will also have to make some suggestions."

"This can be discussed." Jordan smiled. He came prepared and had expected that Yang Rui would make conditions.

Jordan's bottom line is that Yang Rui will not be a part-time manager because he still wants to work in the Wizards management after retiring.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Also, the two of us must cooperate well in the team. I have seen the news. You often scold your teammates during training and are very strict with them. You also often arrange tactics on behalf of the coach. But my style has always been Relaxing, mainly to reduce pressure on players. Next season,

I hope you can listen to me, use my way to integrate into the team, and encourage the newcomers, instead of assuming a superior posture and lecturing them. "

"I've scolded people on the team, and it's because they're so useless." Jordan snorted.

"Eat something to calm down. I can understand you. The Wizards lineup is really bad, so I think except for Hamilton and Haywood, everyone else can be traded or not renewed." Yang Rui said, cutting another piece of steak. Go into your mouth.

Jordan took a small bite and frowned: "Don't you think highly of Kwame Brown either?"

"You know what? If I had a child, I would never let him hold it because he would let go."

"..." Jordan couldn't laugh. Why didn't he care about Brown's weakness in the first place?

Yang Rui added: "If I were the head coach, your playing time would be reduced in the regular season. You would have to change your style of play and be a point forward in the middle, instead of changing directions to break through, playing in the low post, and shooting backwards again and again like you did when you were young." You can do that in the postgame, but you have to stay focused during the regular season.”

"No, if I don't try my best, can I win?"

"Yes, you pass the ball more, organize offenses, help the newcomers, and strive for double figures in assists every game. Then the media will praise you and the fans will admire you because you made changes in the last years of your career. , to help teammates improve their strength instead of destroying them. Michael, you are 39 years old and will be 40 years old next year. Can your knees bear it? "

"I can definitely do it."

"If you can, work hard in the playoffs. Think about it, if you make it to the playoffs but are unable to play due to injury, and can only sit on the sidelines and watch your teammates play, how will you feel? As long as you listen to me, I am confident that we will at least reach the second round of the playoffs next season. If you don’t listen, I will not join the Wizards.”

"What?" Jordan was shocked. He felt that it would be a honor to barely make it to the playoffs, but he didn't even dare to think about the second round.

If he reaches the playoffs, even if he only wins one game, the media should say good things about him. If he enters the second round, even if his comeback is successful, he will at least be considered a superstar at the age of 40.

"Can you really lead the team into the second round? If you can, the management will definitely agree to your request." Jordan was a little excited.

Yang Rui said seriously: "I am responsible for transactions, drafts, and tactics. I am confident in building a championship team in the future. Because the lineup has changed a lot and it takes time to adjust, it will be difficult to go too far next season. With the Raptors in the East, The Nets are not easy to deal with either."

Jordan was silent for a moment, considering the possibility of success. The media often say that Yang Rui is an accurate judge of people. In four seasons, the performance of young players has verified this.

Last year Mark Jackson and Michael Reed made the rookie team, and this year Tony Parker and Kirilenko performed very well again. In addition, the Raptors have trained two outside stars and two inside stars, and Jordan is ashamed of himself.

Yang Rui said that he would build the Wizards into a championship team. Jordan was itching to win another championship. However, the Raptors only won the championship in the second season and did not have enough running-in. It is indeed difficult to win.

Yang Ruixiao asked: "You hope to win the championship and retire, right? This is perfect. I think so too, so I considered joining the Wizards. I want you to have a perfect career. This is the most eye-catching and the fans will remember it forever."

"But you also said that it will be difficult for the Wizards to win the championship next season." Jordan said with a wry smile.

"I have a proposal. If we win the championship as a dark horse next season, you can retire as planned. If we don't win and just make the playoffs, but the team shows potential, you can definitely play for another year. I We will arrange tactics to help you maintain your condition and health."

Jordan was silent again. This proposal made his heart move, but he couldn't believe it.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Let's eat first. Let's relax for a few days on the celebrity weekend. We can contact you at any time. Do you have the Minion number?"

"Yes." Jordan's agent applied for a number for him and also posted it on Facebook so that he could get more attention from fans. Jordan is one of the most profitable athletes, so of course he must study things to increase his popularity.

After eating for a while, the two chatted about the current situation of the Wizards.

Yang Rui said: "I think you don't need to work so hard this year. The team doesn't need to make trades after the star game. It will be difficult to catch up with the results in the second half. It is better to try to select a high-ranking rookie."

"Do you also think the Wizards should be in trouble? But what will people think of me?" Jordan frowned.

"Can't you just play a few more games and be on the injured list? Everyone knows that you have an old knee injury, who will blame you? This way you and the management will have the same idea, and everyone will be happy." Yang Rui suggested.

Jordan also doesn't like this method of "saving the country through curves". He is too arrogant and wants to give people the impression of being invincible and a hero who cannot be defeated. In fact, he is really not.

For next season, he began to consider accepting Yang Rui's proposal.
