"Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, has built initial trust in you, but that trust is only temporary. If you can't satisfy his desire to win, you could still be sacked.

The "When the Extinguished Flame Is Rekindled" series of quests is now open.

Please satisfy Michael Jordan's desire to win as much as possible.

Mission Completion Condition: Convince Michael Jordan that the Washington Wizards under your tutelage can make a difference in the 01/02 season.

Quest completion reward: Host permanent Charisma +1.

Note: Any stats displayed in this system will be corrected as reality changes, but permanent stats will not, as it means that you have achieved something in a field that cannot be shaken. ”

With a burst of intelligent synthesized voice in his head, Wang Shuo, who had just given Jordan the name of the prickly rookie, fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, as he thought, how could he get Jordan by just relying on his mouth-big flickering technique?

Wang Shuo was very glad at the moment that he did not draw any big pie for Jordan in this conversation, but only told him a possible idea in a slightly exaggerated way.

For example, Wang Shuo has a ticket for Jordan, how beautiful will his personal data be next season?

For example, did Wang Shuo promise Jordan that the Wizards would win many times next season?

None of them, right?

So why didn't Wang Shuo do that?

Because the 38-year-old Jordan has never seen any scenes, you are a rookie who can make Jordan trust you with just a few words?

In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why the flame in Jordan's heart was ignited by Wang Shuo was only because he knew the ball himself, and he could feel the feasibility of this set of tactics and the benefits that this set of tactics would bring him from Wang Shuo's tactical framework.

As for whether the team can become a strong contender in the underdog region of the East in the new season?

Doesn't that depend on the team's draft results and the results of the summer recruitments and trades?

In addition, in the new task just released by the system, Wang Shuo noticed that the system, which analyzes big data in a scientific way and then assists himself, still thinks that he may be fired early.

And this is also consistent with Wang Shuo's conjecture.

Although the conditions for the completion of this task are simple, in fact, there are various crises hidden in the conditions for the completion of this simple task.

In other words.

How can Wang Shuo convince Jordan that the wizards he coaches will make a big splash in the new season?

If Wang Shuo foolishly thought that this task would test his record after taking over the team, then he would definitely be the first to be kicked out in this game called Jordan's comeback.

Because, once he fails to interfere with the Wizards' draft, reinforcements and even trades this summer through his own strengths, how can he ensure the Wizards' performance in the new season under the premise that the team does not have enough players who meet Wang Shuo's tactical requirements?

If you compare NBA coaches to gamblers at the table, the players are undoubtedly the cards in their hands.

But how do you beat a gambler who is also a good gambler with far more chips than you when you have a bad hand?

At this moment, after his conjecture was systematically confirmed, Wang Shuo was even more convinced of how he should break the game next.

"This is my phone, you can call me if you need anything." After the meal, patting Wang Shuo on the shoulder, Jordan said to Wang Shuo.

Look, the way to break the game is far away in front of you.

So, why didn't Wang Shuo make any key comments at the meeting this morning, but just actively participated in the discussion?

For in order to accomplish what he hoped to achieve, no amount of exhaustion of the art of language could be achieved at the meeting this morning.

As a rookie coach, Wang Shuo can't be like those successful head coaches, who can get the players he likes with a shock.

But, as long as he can level Jordan, he can easily get everything he wants.

Because the man in front of him, every word of his speech will have a huge energy on the wizard.

However, before pulling up Boss Qiao's tiger skin as a banner, Wang Shuo still has an important thing to do.

That is, to form a coaching team for the new season of the Wizards.

This is one of the few rights he has in his hands at the moment.

At the meeting this morning, Unseld had already told him that if the team needed help with his job posting, he could contact him as soon as possible.

Since his impression of Wang Shuo is not bad so far, compared with the previous high-mindedness, Unselde's tone of speech to Wang Shuo has changed to that of a big brother to a little brother.

Generally, an NBA team will have 3 to 4 assistant coaches to assist the head coach.

Of course, a rookie coach like Wang Shuo will definitely find it difficult to recruit those top assistant coaches.

Wang Shuo plans to pick a defensive assistant coach and an offensive assistant coach first.

After all, no matter how confident he is, no matter how much he has studied the relevant tactics of the NBA, Wang Shuo can only be regarded as a wild man at best.

He needs real professionals to work with him to perfect the details of his offensive and defensive tactics.

In addition, they are needed to assist them in the daily training of the team.

Fortunately, at this time in 2001, many of the future top bigwigs were still just small shrimps, so after returning to the hotel for a day of rest, Wang Shuo asked the team to help him contact Mike Brown, who is still a scout for the Nuggets.

As a defensive master, although he is called Brown with the other Brown, the styles and looks of these two people are very different.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, when Mike Brown, a chubby black man with a cute face and a big schoolbag, appeared in front of him, Wang Shuo finally understood why this product was not suitable to be a head coach.

Because of his appearance as a comedy star, it will naturally give players the illusion that he is very good at talking and getting along with.

But, as Phil Jackson said in his biography, a team's head coach can't be too talkative and too easy to get along with.

Because once you get too easy to get along with, if you talk too much, you will gradually find that you will lose control of the team.

And the most lethal thing is that, in addition to his looks, Mike Brown is also a very talkative and easy person to get along with in life and work.

He is known for his hard work, diligence, strict self-discipline, and leniency towards others.

But with this kind of strict self-discipline and lenient character......

How can he manage the NBA's group of problem boys?

However, this does not prevent him from becoming Wang Shuo's first assistant coach soon.

Because unlike the head coach, the approachable assistant coach can often gain the goodwill of the players in training and games.

As the saying goes, if someone in the team is responsible for lifting the stick, someone has to be responsible for handing out the candy.

To be honest, in Wang Shuo's eyes, the NBA is simply a super-large giant baby kindergarten.

Everyone will have corresponding flaws in their personality to a greater or lesser extent.

In other words, in a café in Washington, Wang Shuo was suddenly happy when he looked at Brown, who was more nervous than himself and had been wiping his sweat with a tissue, and said: "Mike, you don't have to be so nervous, I'm also a rookie, so I have a lot of questions I need to ask you." ”

No way.

If Wang Shuo is a rookie coach, then Mike Brown is even worse than him.

Because if he hadn't been extra conscientious in editing the Nuggets game footage, it is likely that he would not even have the opportunity to be promoted to scout by the team.

In the NBA, there is no shortage of truly capable people.

Brown is a living example of this.

After using up half a pack of tissues, barely holding back his restless heart, Brown, who knew that the young man in front of him was about to decide his fate, said in a humble tone: "I will do my best to answer your questions." ”

Seeing this scene, Wang Shuo, who had also worked in his previous life, was somewhat emotional.

So, do you want to say that the HR department is always the most draggy?

After chatting with Brown over coffee for nearly half an hour, Wang Shuo gave Brown a rough overview of his offensive and defensive framework.

It's just that because Brown didn't know the news that Michael Jordan was coming back, he was very puzzled why Wang Shuo designed such a set of defensive tactics specifically to protect a certain player.

"You don't have to worry about that, what I want to ask you now is how feasible this tactic is, in your opinion, and what kind of personnel we need to have for it." Wang Shuo asked.

Brown pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "First of all, after listening to you just now, it seems to me that we need at least two wing players who can switch defenses and fill in the defense. ”

After taking a few pieces of candy out of his pocket and placing them on the table, Brown explained to Wang Shuo while using the table as a tactical board: "It is absolutely impossible for only one player to accomplish such a task.

Because you see, if we only have one player like that when we're defending, the opponent just needs to move the ball to the other side and the player we need to protect will be exposed to them. ”

Looking at the candy that Brown fiddled with, Wang Shuo immediately had a sense of picture in his mind.

'Richard [Hamilton] is very fit and serious, can he take on a task like that?" Wang Shuo asked.

Brown shook his head, "I've watched Richard's game, and IMHO, although he has a good attitude, he can't do this due to his limited size. ”

Brown then added, "Of course, we don't necessarily need two of those players on the floor at the same time, because basketball is more than just defense. ”

Wang Shuo said very agreeably: "But, we need to prepare two such players in case we need them, right?" ”

Brown laughed, "Yes. ”

After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Wang Shuo said, "Do you have any good candidates among this year's rookies?" ”

Hearing this, Brown immediately took out a stack of materials from his large school bag and pulled out two of them, "The first thing I want to recommend to you is Richard Jefferson from the University of Arizona."

He has a height of 201 cm and a weight of more than 100 kg.

His strengths are that he defends well, has a wide range of movement off the ball and has a certain range. But the downside is also obvious, and that is that his offensive ability with the ball is very poor.

And the other is Gerald Wallace from the University of Alabama at Scaloosa.

He is also 201 cm tall and weighs more than 100 kg.

In terms of athletic talent alone, he is even better than Richard Jefferson, with broad shoulders and long arms. But for now, at this level in the NBA, his offensive ability is almost equal to zero. ”

Professional is professional.

In fact, regarding the flank candidates, Wang Shuo thought of the candidates from the beginning, but what he never expected was that the two people Brown said were exactly the same as the candidates he thought.

Although not as well-known as the future 03 Golden Generation, the 2001 draft was definitely a very high-quality one.

In this draft, there are not only a large number of players whose future strength is greater than their fame, but also many players who can be immediately exchanged for the team's immediate combat power.

Wang Shuo has already made up his mind, no matter what, he will dismantle the future Nets.

Because as one of the few threats to the Wizards in the East, Jefferson is one of the important pieces of the puzzle for the future Nets.

Over his career, Jefferson shot 37.6 percent from three-point range, making 1,042 three-pointers, and his model dictates that he can even switch to the interior if necessary.

Despite his poor offensive ability with the ball, will the Wizards need him to complete the offensive with the ball next season?

In the 01/02 season, after adapting to the NBA for a year, in the 02/03 season, Jefferson was immediately promoted to the main team of the team, averaging 15.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game for the Nets.

This kind of wing with outside firepower and a certain athletic talent is too scarce in this era, so no matter what, Wang Shuo can't put Jefferson on a competitor.

As for Wallace, as another Wallace, a fellow who has already made a name for himself with the Pistons at this time, Gerald Wallace has also inherited the consistent iron and toughness of the Alabama man.

In Wang Shuo's memory, the main reason for Wallace's poor performance at the beginning of his career was because he was chosen by a king whose style was incompatible with him.

Because of his almost zero offensive ability at the beginning of his career, Wallace couldn't get playing time at all in that team that played the world with offense.

However, after switching teams to the Bobcats, Wallace immediately completed his transformation and quickly developed into a top wing.

In this life, Wang Shuo wants to transform Gerald Wallace.

Because Wallace's future career proves that while he is not consistent, he is not entirely lacking in projection talent.

In addition, the physical fitness of this product also determines that he will be better than Jefferson when switching to the interior.

Looking at Mike Brown's cute appearance, Wang Shuo knew that an even bigger test was waiting for him right now.

That's ......

How to convince the Wizards to drop everything and take a complete gamble this summer.

"Bet? Interesting. After touching his chin, Wang Shuo was happy.

You say, if you talk about gambling......

Who else on the current Wizards team like to bet on more than Michael Jordan?
