Chapter 4 Capture Jordan's Heart! (I ask for a commuter pass, I collect it)
Jordan was asked.
Because compared to the first comeback, Jordan's second comeback, no matter how you look at it, is more like a "gambling" behavior.
The first is the continuous arching fire of the media, in the face of the media's non-stop firing, how can Jordan stand being sprayed by others all day long, "If you can do it, you will go on, if you can, don't BB"?
The second is the pressure brought to Jordan by these young people at the beginning of the century, as the last golden period of Stern's NBA era, it is no exaggeration to say that the NBA at this time is really not short of stars.
And there's no shortage of superstars.
Think about it, if you were Jordan, would you be able to stand the media squeezing you with these young up-and-comers every day?
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there are many reasons for Jordan's second comeback.
But one thing is for sure.
That is, Jordan really didn't set a clear goal for his second comeback at the beginning, which is the usual tone.
No matter what quibbles he made for himself in interviews in the future, it could not change this fact.
Because whether it's leading the Wizards back to the playoffs after just 19 wins in the 00/01 season, or selling tickets, those can only be classified as team goals, not personal goals.
And this can also be seen from the comeback plan that Jordan prepared for himself at the beginning.
As we all know, according to Boss Qiao's original plan, he originally planned to restart the training camp this summer, and after restoring his physical function to a certain level, he would kill all sides like his first comeback that year.
It's a pity that he didn't calculate it in a thousand ways, and an Artest would break out and break his ribs halfway.
But then again, even if he didn't kill Atai halfway, would his plan be successfully realized?
The answer is clearly no.
In fact, as a veteran who has reached the age of 38, it is not bad to hand in an average of 20+ answers per game for two consecutive seasons, and even in the entire history of the NBA, it can be called quite explosive.
But there is no way, who made him Michael Jordan, who will only shrug his shoulders and pretend to be forced, and will not spread his hands and kneel in shock?
Therefore, at this moment, Michael Jordan, who has been honored, will be asked by Wang Shuo, a rookie coach.
Because Jordan really didn't think about it, or or, in his opinion, he needed to think about it?
Excuse me, what was the most glorious era of the center in NBA history?
Answer, in the 90s of the 20th century, the four major centers complemented each other, and you sang and I took the stage.
Then excuse me, can any of them beat Jordan?
A, no.
What Patrick - bitter haha backdrop board - Ewing, "Admiral" - hugging Duncan's thigh to win the championship - Robinson, or "Big Dream" - as soon as you retire I will be crowned - Olajuwon, Shaq - swept - O'Neal, which hasn't been beaten by Boss Joe?
As a long-man sport, since the invention of basketball, tall people have an absolute overwhelming advantage over short people.
Therefore, in the course of the development of basketball, people will try all kinds of ways to introduce various rules to restrict these elders.
But even in the 90s of the 20th century, when the center was at its most brilliant and of the highest quality, no one could cross the mountain of Jordan.
So now back to the question at the beginning, Jordan, does he need to think about it so much?
At least in Jordan's opinion, as long as he keeps his head down in training camp this summer for three months, the next time is for him to continue to reap the cheers and praise.
It's a pity that he still underestimated the enemy of time after all.
"In my defensive framework, Michael, you have more important tasks." Looking at Jordan, who was asked by himself, Wang Shuo smiled slightly and said.
See, what is the art of language?
Wang Shuo knows very well that in terms of Jordan's character, if he doesn't change his approach, Jordan will definitely not cooperate with the tactics he is going to talk about next.
Wang Shuo couldn't change Jordan's personality.
Because if he weren't so competitive, Jordan might not have the accolades he has today.
Continuing to fiddle with the round magnet on the tactical board, Wang Shuo smiled: "If we adopt this defensive strategy for most of the new season, then we must take into account a weakness that this defensive strategy will never be able to solve. ”
Looking at the tactical board, Jordan and Unseld's eyes suddenly lit up.
In a four-in-one system, with the other four players often out of position and one wing to expand the defensive range, backcourt rebounding is bound to be a big problem in this system.
Unseld, nicknamed the "bone crusher" when he played, won the rebounding king, and naturally saw the problem at a glance.
As for Jordan, he had a very high ball quotient, and he understood at the first time what task Wang Shuo planned to give him.
"The simple way to solve this weakness is to get the inside line into the habit of slotting the forward players through a lot of practice in daily training. Since in defence, Michael can be in a position to watch the dynamics of the pitch at all times, so you are the best person to address this weakness. Looking at Jordan, Wang Shuo said.
Seeing this, Jordan touched his chin and began to think.
On the side, Unseld said at the right time: "Next season, Michael is undoubtedly the most experienced player in our team, and he is indeed the best candidate." ”
As a rebounding expert, Unseld knows exactly what Wang Shuo's tactics will bring to Jordan.
If nothing else, at least Jordan's rebounding stats will certainly be beautiful.
Of course, the reason why he chose to help Wang Shuo at this moment was not because what Wang Shuo said today had moved him.
As the saying goes, stance is everything.
In the new season, the Wizards need Jordan to boost the market, and the team owner also hopes that Jordan's comeback can boost the team's market value, so after listening to Wang Shuo's speech so far, Unseld knows that as long as Jordan himself can recover to a certain level, under this tactical system, Jordan's personal data in the new season will definitely not be bad.
As for the team's results in the new season?
Wake up, no one really believes that the Wizards, who have only 19 wins this season, can challenge for the championship in the new season, right?
Unseld is not stupid, as the general manager of the team, his first job is to serve the team owner, so in his opinion, as long as the Wizards' record in the new season can rebound somewhat, Jordan can play good statistics to attract fans.
Anyway, the head coach was also chosen by you Jordan himself, so since Wang Shuo proposed a set of plans that were really feasible in Unseld's opinion, why did he still make things difficult for him?
Only, where in this world did the perfect tactics come from?
In fact, Wang Shuo himself is also very aware that there are big problems in both the offensive and defensive framework he proposed today.
But when have you ever seen a real estate developer tell you what's wrong with your home when they sell it?
Right now, Wang Shuo's priority is to get that crucial ticket.
Because only when he got that ticket could he perfect all kinds of details step by step.
And what is obvious is that at least today, this first level, he passed.
Next, in discussions about the development of the Wizards' new season, Unseld asked his opinion several times.
Including which players the Wizards need to try out next, as well as the preliminary roster of the Wizards for the new season, as well as a series of potential trades, Wang Shuo has actively participated in a series of issues.
However, at every critical moment, Wang Shuo would begin to be vague.
As for the reason?
It's also very simple.
Because Wang Shuo knows very well that in the NBA, many things are not something that can be calculated by the head coach, and even more, he is still a rookie coach?
Wang Shuo actively participated in the discussion because it was the management of the people who gave him face, and he had to accept this face.
He didn't make any key comments because if he didn't count, why would he be bored?
Wang Shuo's purpose today has always been one from beginning to end.
That's ......
Get Jordan.
When he went to the toilet in the middle of the meeting, looking at Jordan's favorability of himself displayed on the system interface, Wang Shuo knew that his goal today had been basically achieved.
It's just that to Wang Shuo's surprise, after this meeting, where everyone fully exchanged opinions and views, and the process was quite pleasant, Jordan, who had a good impression of him and had increased to 45, did not seem so happy.
"Are you free later?" After the meeting ended, looking at Wang Shuo, Jordan suddenly spoke.
"I'd like to talk to you alone." Jordan added.
Killing Wang Shuo didn't expect that the question he asked Jordan about his personal goals would work so well.
In fact, Jordan has not been asked this question by his friends before.
However, due to the different environments and states of questioning, the impact on Jordan is naturally different.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo nodded.
"I know there's a nice restaurant around here, it's quiet." Jordan said to Wang Shuo.
Looking at Jordan's slightly melancholy eyes, at this moment, Wang Shuo suddenly realized that an exam more important than today's meeting had arrived.
If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first.
If you want to catch this wizard, you have to capture Jordan's heart first.
