After walking out of the general manager's office, Rudy patted Han Ning's shoulder and said with a smile: "Come with me, I'll take you to meet your future colleagues, and then I can go home to recuperate." ”

Han Ning's expression was a little complicated, and he didn't know whether to thank Rudy or not. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been the head coach of the Rockets.

Follow Rudy to the training ground, where the Rockets players are working out.

Han Ning saw Da Yao, who was still a little young, at a glance.

The height of 226 is a bit of a standout even in the NBA, which is full of people.

Rudy clapped his hands vigorously and motioned for everyone to assemble.

It didn't take long for the Rockets players to stand in front of Rudy in a row, with the rest of the assistant coaches around.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Han, and like Da Yao, he is from Huaxia. Starting today, he's going to succeed me as head coach of the Rockets. ”

Rudy's words widened the eyes of everyone present.

"Boss, you're not kidding, are you?!" Francis asked, mouth wide open.

Rudy shook his head and said, "I'm serious. I have submitted my resignation report. Han has also signed a contract. From now on, he will continue to take you to the NBA, Han is a very capable person........"

Yao Ming didn't listen to some of Rudy's praise for Han Ning at this time, but looked at Han Ning with some embarrassment.

After coming to a foreign country, he rarely saw other Chinese people except his parents. Therefore, he was very curious about Han Ning in front of him.

After Han Ning felt Da Yao's gaze, he turned his head and smiled at him.

Such a young Da Yao is really nostalgic.

Rudy praised Han Ning a few words before leaving. He had already resigned, and it was not good to stay at the training ground for too long, so he handed over the stage to Han Ning.

After Han Ning sent Rudy out of the training ground, he turned around and walked back.

At this time, none of the players of the Rocket team left, but they were all looking at Han Ning with their eyes.

Too young! This is the first impression that all Rockets players have of Han Ning.

Of all the teams in the NBA, there has never been a head coach who is so young.

Coupled with the fact that Han Ning is Chinese, many players have some guesses in their hearts.

Looking at the strange looks on everyone's faces, Han Ning's heart knew very well what his current situation was like.

"My name is Han Ning, and from today onwards, you can call me boss or coach me. I don't want to say anything more useless, I just want to tell you. Just play as I ask you to play, and I'll take you home this year! ”

After speaking, Han Ning wrote a word on the whiteboard behind him.

Champio

！

Now, everyone's eyes looking at him are even more weird.

Some of the players even started whispering.

"This new manager can't be a bad brain, right?! The championship is so easy to win?! ”

"Overall Champion?! Hehe, let's make the playoffs first! ”

"Huaxia people don't like to talk so much, right?! Da Yao would never brag so much. ”

"What did the team management think, how did they get such a person to replace Rudy?!"

In the eyes of all the players and assistant coaches, this is almost impossible.

They know exactly what the quality of the team looks like now.

Last season, he was ranked last, even if he got the champion sign, he chose Da Yao.

But Da Yao has not been able to show his own strength in regular competitions so far.

Even if Da Yao can give full play to his own strength, he can't let the Rockets directly have the strength to win the championship, and it is not even easy to make the playoffs.

Now that Han Ning said that he wanted to take them to win the championship, naturally no one would approve of it.

Han Ning didn't say a word, just looked at everyone quietly.

Gradually, no one talked about it anymore.

Francis looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was faintly touched. He could see the firmness in Han Ning's eyes.

This shows that he really intends to lead them to the championship!

"Coach, you said you were going to take us to the championship, what are you going to do?! How can you make us believe you?! Francis couldn't help but ask.

This can be regarded as looking at Da Yao's face and giving face to Han Ning, who is also a Chinese. Otherwise, with his temper, it is possible to just throw his hands and leave.

Han Ning hugged his arms and whispered, "Why don't we make a bet." The next game is against the Phoenix Suns, and as long as you can do what I say, I guarantee you can win this game and the score difference will be more than 20 points! If I don't do it, I'll quit! ”

After hearing Han Ning's words, Francis's eyes couldn't help but widen.

The Phoenix Suns are not a weak team, they are a playoff-level powerhouse!

Not only Marbury and Sean Marion, two powerful players who average more than 20 points per game, but also Stoudemire, who participated in the draft with Da Yao this year and is currently averaging 8.8 rebounds per game.

Against such an opponent, it is almost impossible for the Rockets to win them by more than 20 points.

Looking at the serious expression on Han Ning's face, Francis swallowed and said, "Okay! Then bet! As long as you can take us to win the sun by more than 20 points, I'll call you the boss in the future! ”

After Han Ning heard this answer, he was very satisfied.

That's what he wanted.

Francis is the team's number one superstar, and as long as he speaks, the rest of the players will basically do the same.

He is not afraid that the strength of the team will not be good, he is afraid that these players will be disobedient.

After all, in terms of Han Ning's qualifications and age, he really has no prestige at all.

"Very good, you can continue training, Da Yao, you come with me." Han Ning waved his hand, motioning for everyone to continue training, and then called Da Yao out alone.

Bringing Da Yao to the head coach's office, Han Ning stretched out his hand and motioned for Da Yao to sit down.

"Da Yao, are you still used to living here?!"

Da Yao said a little embarrassed: "It's okay, my teammates take good care of me." ”

"That's good."

After a few polite words to Da Yao, Han Ning was finally ready to get to the point.

The reason why he called Da Yao out to talk alone today was to change Da Yao's mentality.

The current Da Yao has strength, but his mentality is still a big problem.

In China, the pursuit of team basketball is the pursuit, while in the NBA, the pursuit is the pursuit of individualistic heroes.

Let's take an analogy.

Slam dunk in this period of Chinese would be considered disrespectful to the opponent.

But in the NBA, it's a shame that a center can't dunk.

It is most urgent to let Da Yao play well, change his mentality, and let him play in a more confident and tough way on the court.

"Have you ever wondered why you've played so unsatisfactorily in these games?!" Han Ning asked softly.
