USA Today – The Role of a Leader

"In terms of personal data and team wins, how should a team leader choose?

In today's game between the 76ers and the Bulls, Zhang Zifeng used practical actions to explain what a team leader should do.

Zhang Zifeng's data is completely inferior to Butler's. But it was Zhang Zifeng who focused most of his energy on limiting Butler in the second half, making the first half a good performance, and Butler, who scored 25 points, only scored 9 points on 4-of-14 shooting in the second half, thus ensuring the team's victory.

Mr. Butler, you are very good, but compared to Zhang Zifeng, you are not mature enough, and you are not ready to be the leader of a team and lead the team forward. ”

Zhang Zifeng's data is not as good-looking as you, but others can lead the weak team to defeat your strong team.

What does that mean, it means that you are a data brush.

Dare to shout that you are more qualified to be an All-Star than him, you really think that all fans are blind!
