Chapter 6 Hu Qingniu's Opportunity

MCI Center Arena, the walkway in front of the Abel Bolin office.

There is a soft carpet and a stand of crutches against the wall, on which various old crutches of gilded and hardwood are neatly arranged. These are all Abel Bolin's means of travel. Of course, lately, he has fallen in love with letting the female assistant dressed as OL slowly help him walk when he goes out.

Michael Jordan appeared here, but there was no knock on the door, as if he had something else to think about.

Although Wizards owner Abel Pauline bought the Baltimore Bullets, the predecessor of the Wizards, in 1964, he was never interested in basketball, he just ran the Wizards like a business. And the first priority of the business is, of course, to make a profit, so his union with Jordan is only to increase the fame of the team and thus attract fans to increase income.

When Jordan was a minority shareholder of the team, the relationship between the two was very good.

The disagreement is that after Jordan joins the team, Jordan's goal is to win, but the 79-year-old Abel Bollin is old, and the younger generations of the family are not interested in running the Wizards, so he wants to save as much money as possible.

Jordan had a lot of fights with Abel Pauline over reinforcements last season. The mall is not a stadium, and Jordan also needs to respect other people, so now he wants to make his request in a tactful way.

The decision was made, and Jordan casually knocked on the precious Canadian maple door, which is often used on the floor of the NBA game court, which can be described as the best wood and expensive to build. But Abel Bollin replaced his entire office with this kind of wood, and although the team was stingy with spending, the rich never treated themselves badly.

"Please come in."

Abel Bolin's office.

Less than ten minutes after Jordan entered, there was a heated argument inside.

Delicate hard maple doors can't close such decibels. Just next to the door, the female assistant with fluffy curly hair behind the assistant's desk shook her head helplessly, no matter how fierce the competition was, she had seen it, and this scene had long been accustomed to it.

Abel Bolin is a stubborn old man, and Jordan is famously paranoid. The two don't deal with each other. At the beginning of last season, they don't know how many times they quarreled.

In less than half an hour, Jordan came out with a cold face. But the female assistant clearly heard him exhale slowly, as if ...... Not to feel like Atlas any longer?

Jordan got the win? Then why the cold face?

The female assistant shook her head to clear the questions out of her mind, and by the way, she skillfully threw a curly hair behind one ear. She didn't need to know that, it was her job to think of the copy that Mr. Abel Bolin was going to use in the afternoon.

Hu Qingniu, as usual, hummed unknown country music and drove into the MCI Center Arena in his own-yellow Volkswagen Golf. Although he is also considered a high-income class, he is still inferior to a player with an annual salary of millions and millions.

As soon as I got out of the car, I found Jordan waving to him at the elevator entrance of the underground garage today. This is very abnormal, is the old rascal waiting for me, Hu Qingniu pondered in his heart.

"Michael, are you waiting for me?" Hu Qingniu said suspiciously.

"Hu, you know, the state of the team right now. We have come to the precipice. If I don't succeed this season, my comeback will be a complete failure. My career will not be complete either. “

Jordan paused, as if to phrase something.

"You, can you guarantee that your tactics will work for the team?"

"What?" Hu Qingniu said that happiness came too suddenly, "Michael, are you going to invite me to be the head coach." “

"No, well, I can only trust you now. You've worked miracles. I've got you a chance and there's going to be an intra-squad training game in the morning where you'll have a chance to coach the bench against the starting line-up. If you win, you will be the new assistant coach, and the offensive tactics will be arranged by you in the future," Jordan stared at Hu Qingniu's eyes with sharp eyes, and said word by word, "Win or go home?" Got it? ”

”Cool!“ Although he is not the head coach, Hu Qingniu is already satisfied, and he has no power to dictate tactics at all as a team doctor. Although he was only coaching a training match, Hu Qingniu just needed a chance to show his tactical ability.

He believed he would be a blockbuster.

For the players on the Wizards, everyone's on-court characteristics and conscious preferences, he has been clear in this month.

And he also has the advantage that, as a team doctor, he knows which players are in the best physical condition.

Wizards general manager Unseld accompanied Jordan and then asked Doug Collins about it at the training ground.

This was the opinion of the team owner and Jordan, and Doug Collins accepted it with great interest, he was only symbolically informed, and it was just a chance for the newcomer, so why not.

Doug Collins knows he's on the verge of being sacked and needs to turn things around. In fact, every day when Hu Qingniu nagged tactical ideas in his ear, he still listened to them. Perhaps, Hu Qingniu's tactics may not work, at least it is a method, Doug comforted himself.

After Doug announced Hu Qingniu's decision to coach the bench team, only a few players were surprised.

Hu Qingniu is the team's chief team doctor and has a good reputation. Players often need to come to him to check on their health or try some fresh TCM treatments.

Due to the good effect of traditional Chinese medicine, most of the players slowly formed a habit of going to the physiotherapy room regularly.

Although Hu Qingniu had to be bombarded with theories such as cover and three-point, speed and space, physical therapy was really comfortable.

And some young players have long been involved with Hu Qingniu and have recognized Hu Qingniu's tactical theory. On the one hand, Hu Qingniu and these young players are almost the same age, and they have a natural sense of closeness. On the other hand, the little ones have not fully embraced the current NBA mainstream theory, emphasizing defense, attacking to the inside, or handing the ball to superstars.

Young players are generally not as strong and capable as older players, and the old tactical system has little room for role players to play. However, the tactical system described by the magical team doctor Hu as everyone taking on the corresponding task and focusing on passing the ball is obviously more appetizing.

The team's record is half dead at the moment, and the young players feel that they can give this whimsical head doctor a try.

"Hu, you can also choose the starter, of course Michael won't play in this training game, he's resting today. The game lasts 30 minutes, divided into two halves, 15 minutes each. It was the first time that Doug had looked at the 20-something chief team doctor, why his expression always made people feel full of confidence, did he think that defeating me was an easy task.

"The agreement is to be substituted, I only choose substitutes. If Michael doesn't play, then the team's starters are Tyronn Lue, Larry, Jerry, Christine, and Brandon. I won't choose any of them. ”

Due to poor performances, Kwame Brown the Great's starting position has been replaced by Brandon Heywood, a center with equally young potential.

According to the future trajectory, Brandon Haywood will develop into a star center for the Wizards in the future. The right-hand man of the future "Agent Zero" Arenas. And the Mavericks in the 11th season won championship honors as the main rotation. He had an advantage in tonnage over Kwame the Great and was a traditional big man favored by Doug Collins.

Among the rest, none of them are well-known names in the NBA in the future, and there are no blockbuster masterpieces. But some of them are well adapted to the future NBA trends.

Hu Qingniu had already planned the candidate.
