Almighty Coach

In the office of the Ohio State University, the school basketball team, a **** man is sitting in front of a computer, a busy worker.

He was seven feet tall, and he was very tall. The desk seemed small in front of him. The normal-sized mouse was caught in his hand, just like an ordinary man holding an egg.

"Gray, it's time to get off work." The colleague next to him had already planned to go out.

"I'll go after finishing this form." Said the big guy named Gray.

"Well, I'll go first." My colleague's voice paused, and then said, "You haven't started school yet. You don't have to work so hard."

"I want to get familiar with the work of assistant coaches as soon as possible. After all, I used to be a player and never been a coach." Gray said.

After the colleague left, Gray went into a busy schedule.

At this moment, the sound of the mobile phone rang, and a strange phone number appeared on the caller ID.

"I don't know, is it advertising sales?" Gray thought about it and chose to refuse.

However, five minutes later, the person called again, and Gray had to choose to answer.

"Hello, is it Mr. Gray? I'm sorry, I was going to contact you through the agent, but I heard that you have dismissed the agent ..." The other party said.

"I'm Gray, may I ask who you are?" Gray asked.

"My name is Johnson and I am the general manager of the Clippers. I am in Columbus now. I hope to meet you ..."

...

Johnson put down the phone and turned his head to Li Dai, saying: "All the appointments have been made. See you at the hotel restaurant tomorrow night."

"Then there is still a day, then let's go shopping, I heard that there are many attractions in Columbus that are worth visiting." Li Dai said and stood up.

Johnson digressed and asked, "Do you really want to choose Gray?"

"Of course, I remember when he participated in the draft, he was hailed as a rare genius in fifty years, and some people even said that his talent surpassed the current NBA first man Brownie! In the high school era, he won the American Basketball , Except for Brownie, only Gray has done it. "

"Indeed, his talent is amazing, but his injuries are also amazing. After he entered the NBA, he played only 105 games. At other times, he was recuperating. What a glass man, what is he going to use? Used? Maybe it was injured before the game. We are the team, not the nursing home. "Johnson said.

"Did you forget that my best is rehabilitation training? And we all know that Gray ’s main problem is long and short legs, and I have experience in this area. The Olympic champion I once trained, Sean Ford, he is Long and short legs. "Li Dai answered with a smile.

"Basketball is different from sprinting. Sprinting is just running alone, but basketball has physical confrontation, especially inside players. They have to keep fighting for positions with their opponents. They have to jump up and fight for rebounds." Johnson shook his head and continued Tao: "As a seven-foot long person, Gray's weight is also close to 290 pounds. This weight is a burden on the waist, knees and ankles. If it is long and short legs, it will be worse. In the fierce physical confrontation , It ’s strange not to be hurt! "

"I know what you said. I have read Gray ’s medical report. I am confident that he can solve the problem of his long and short legs. And his talent really makes me unable to give up. I believe he can be on my team. Realize talent! "Li Dai said, took out his phone, found a picture, handed it to Johnson, and then said:"

"This is Gray's body-side data when he participated in the NBA. He ran 11.67 seconds back and forth in the penalty area and sprinted 3.27 seconds in three quarters. Can you imagine that this is the data made by a person who is seven feet tall and weighs 285 pounds? This agility means that he can change defenders in defense, and with him, we can perform unlimited tactics like Rockets. "

"And Gray's offense and defense on the inside are top-notch. He has the ability to attack off the post, he has the skills of the basket, he can rebound, he is good at blocking shots, plus his agile pace, he has all the qualities of a super center. In the last season of the Blazers, he used only 24 minutes to produce 11 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. His shooting percentage reached 60%. If the same data is converted into 36 minutes, it is 16.7. 12.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks. As long as he can stay healthy, the upper limit will become a super center, and the lower limit is also a top-level defender. "

"What you said, everyone in the NBA knows that before Gray entered the NBA, he was already regarded by everyone as the future super center, even the ruler of the league, but now it is different, now it is In the era of small balls, there is no need for a super center in the era of small balls. The most popular one is the space inside. "Johnson said.

"Whether the super ball center eliminated the super center, or the lack of super centers made the league usher in the small ball era?" Li Dai suddenly asked such a question.

"This ..." Johnson suddenly discovered that this was really an unanswerable question.

The era when the super center ruled the NBA was not so far away. Johnson also experienced that era. He knew how terrible the super center is. The NBA has indeed seen a lot of excellent insiders in recent years, but compared with the super centers that year, it is really much worse.

Regardless of the ability to end the basket, let alone the low post attack, any super center at the time, but there is no solution to the low post one-on-one attack. The only one who can defend the super center one-to-one in the low post is the super center. At present, NBA centers have very few low-level offenses, not to mention the low-level offense that makes their opponents unsolved.

Of course, it is not popular now for center to play singles in the low post. The most popular scoring method for inside players now is to float outside and shoot three points, or rush to the basket to eat cakes, and even many defensive players who are good at grabbing second rebounds. Both are hailed as the inside pillar.

Therefore, no one can answer the question of whether the lack of super centers has caused small **** to run rampant or basketball has developed into the era of small **** and eliminated super centers. Unless there is another real super center, let's verify with practice whether the super center can beat the small ball team, or the small ball team can use a three-pointer to shoot the super center.

...

Faced with Li Dai ’s invitation, Gray seemed a little overwhelmed. He was already regarded as a glass man and could not stand in the NBA, so he came to the university as an assistant coach, but did not expect him to have just joined the post. He received an olive branch from the Clippers.

The next night, Li Dai met Gray, and the situation was as Li Dai expected. Gray was really an S + class athlete. If there were no injuries, he could really rule an era.

"Coach Li, are you serious? Don't you care about my injury history? I might not be able to play a few games, and I was injured again." Gray asked with a sad face.

"It seems that you also care about your injury history." Li Dai showed a very relaxed look, and then said: "If you join us, then the issue of injury is something that our coaching staff should consider, And all you need to do is fulfill your talent! "

The word "talent" fell into Gray's ear, making his expression slightly change.

Gray, a high school student, has been hailed as the most talented player. He has won the title of best high school player of the year and won the title of Mr. American Basketball. At that time, Gray had already demonstrated absolute dominance, and even received the nickname "Emperor". To know that the current league's first person, the nickname was "Emperor", Gray can get the nickname "Emperor", which also shows that everyone is optimistic about him and will become the NBA ruler in the future.

After entering the university, Gray is still synonymous with "talent", when people talk about him, he will always talk about his talent. Everyone believes that when he successfully realizes his talent, he will rule the entire NBA.

Gray still remembers that before he participated in the NBA draft, both scouts and the media gave him the highest evaluation. They put the advantages of the excellent centers in history all on him, even the most discriminating scouts. , Also praised his talent. At that time, not only was he tall and long, he was able to jump and jump, but his speed and flexibility were not inferior to that of a small man. In the end, he also entered the NBA as the champion.

However, he did not realize his talent. His long and short legs did not have much influence in high school and college, but in the NBA-level internal confrontation, he caused frequent injuries. In the four seasons of the rookie, he injured two seasons, and in the other two seasons, he played only 105 games.

Gray has become a glass man in people's eyes, and is regarded as a "parallel seller". Since then, people have mentioned the word "talent" again, and it sounds particularly harsh in Gray, just like a mockery of him. !

Because of his talent, Gray was once praised to heaven, and because of his talent, he became the target of ridicule. The loud nickname of "Emperor" used to be a joke that others talked about after tea.

Today, Gray heard the word "talent" in Li Dai's mouth again, and there was an inexplicable sense of sourness in his heart. He dared not face the word at all.

Gray remained silent for a long time before he said, "Coach Li, can you let me think about it?"

Gray's answer made Li Dai feel the extreme unconfidence deep inside Gray.

From the arrogant of the sky to the fall of the altar, to no one cares, and finally was kicked out of the NBA in vain, and any one who encountered Gray like this would also be unconfident.

I saw Li Dai shook his head: "I hope you make the decision now. For you, thinking means backing away! Now you, if you want to go back to the basketball court and truly fulfill your talent, then The only thing you can do is to move forward. Once you have a little bit of the idea of ​​retreating, you have failed! "

Li Dai's words were full of a special inflammatory, which gave Gray an illusion. He felt as if he was standing on a long ladder, and the steps behind him were constantly collapsing. He could no longer retreat, only the constant Forward.

Li Dai then persuaded: "In my eyes, you are always the amazing talent of Gray, but you have not fulfilled your talent, I think you are not willing to leave the court and work as an assistant coach in college for a lifetime? You are destined to become a superstar. You should not be buried here! Opportunity is right in front of your eyes. Seize the opportunity to fulfill your talents. You can still become an NBA superstar! "

...

Gray still did not resist the temptation to become a superstar. He agreed to join the Clippers, and Li Dai also left Columbus with satisfaction.

In the terminal of the airport, Li Dai wrote a few names in his notebook.

"Center Gray, power forward Noel, small forward Raymond, shooting guard Hall, point guard Wood. What do you think of our starting lineup?" Li Dai asked.

"If they are healthy, this is an All-Star starting lineup." Johnson said.

"In addition, we also have the best sixth man, Joseph and the talented rookie Kuma ~ www.readwn.com ~ and Neil Smith ..." Li Dai continued.

"Don't forget that there is Ronnie, we can still renew him." Johnson reminded.

"Give up Ronnie!" Li Dai said, shaking his head.

"What did you say?" Johnson even thought he had heard it wrong.

"We have Raymond, Hall and Osef. If they can really stay healthy, do you think we still need to keep Ronnie?" Li Dai asked with a smile.

"I understand what you mean, but you first need to prove to me that Raymond can really adapt to the NBA game, otherwise, Ronnie is always our best choice on the front line." Johnson said with a straight face.

"You can rest assured." Li Dai's voice changed, and then said: "But I'm still not very comfortable with the team's inside. Although Gray is talented, he only played 105 NBA games after all. It ’s not that sufficient. So we also need to find an experienced insider. You can help me pay attention to the free market, or if there are suitable people in other teams, we can try to make a deal.
