NBA Tyrant

Francis said the end, clapping his hands on the table and standing up with angry eyes, as if he was about to knife Johnny at any moment.

Howard was also frightened, and his body involuntarily moved to the side. I don't want my NBA career to be terminated before it even starts. →_→

"Francis, don't get excited, you calm down first," Johnny didn't expect Francis to react so much, and turned to look at Howard, "Howard, you go get a few bottles of ice energy drinks

!" "Oh, oh, okay!" Howard quickly got up and left, he couldn't imagine that Francis in front of him was so rigid and so short-tempered.

Didn't you have a good chat with the general manager yesterday, why did you turn your face today? I don't understand, I don't understand.

When Howard returned to the head coach's office with a energy drink, he saw that head coaches Johnny and Francis were both grim and silent.

"I can't accept your tactical arrangement, head coach, I think at the moment, I should play with me as the core, and Howard needs time to grow and adapt to the NBA, like the Rockets' big Yao!

Francis held back the anger in his heart and said word by word.

"I understand, but we've also done some analysis and judgment to think that Howard is now perfectly fit in the NBA," Johnny said, taking a sip of the energy drink.

"Of course, Howard doesn't have NBA experience at the moment, that's true, but because of that, Howard will have more playing time to make up for the experience. The sooner he grows up, the farther the team will go, and I think, Francis, you have experience working with the big inside, you should know better than me. Francis

: "I don't rule out partnering with Howard, I also believe that Howard can grow, but it takes a process, and putting Howard as the core too early can easily ruin Howard's strength, obviously, look at the current Wizards!"

Moreover, with me, an All-Star guard who can shoot and pass, the team doesn't want to play around me, and even makes me float more on the perimeter and run off the ball, which is a complete waste of my ability and will ruin me.

Francis: "When the time comes, if Howard becomes another Kwame Brown, and I become a guard who can only shoot from the outside, and lose his sharp breakthrough and passing ability, and the team can't play as well as it should, I think you're going to ruin the whole team's new season."

"First of all, our Howard is by no means Kwame Brown, the Wizards' Kwame Brown is actually good in his talent, but he lacks a quality of a good player, that is, lack of self-confidence, coupled with Jordan's harshness and blame, seriously destroyed his already poor self-confidence.

Johnny stared at Francis and held out his index finger.

"And our Howard, on the court, is always confident and obsessed with winning, even very domineering on the court.

Then Johnny held out a second finger.

"Secondly, Howard's actual level of action is definitely much higher than you think, please trust our team's judgment.

Johnny held out his third finger.

"In the end, we're not just going to let shooters float on the perimeter, especially for a good defender like you, and I've studied a couple of tactics specifically for you, especially when Howard is off the court and you need to lead the team to stabilize the situation.

Johnny said that at the end, he slapped Francis's ass a little, which was regarded as relieving the embarrassing atmosphere between the two.

"Hmph! That's a nice thing to say, but I can't see that Howard can be the core and play in his rookie season, and my style of play requires the ball and shots, and this system is more about the combination of passing and cutting inside and outside and running without the ball, and the style of play needs a three-point shooter, and my three-point ability is very average, which makes it difficult for me to be compatible.

This is the most unacceptable thing for Francis, the new system directly allows Francis to change his style of play for many years, and become a role player to accompany and cooperate with the core players.

"Boss Fu, I don't think it's contradictory, this one-star system does not mean that it must be the inside line as the core, but relies on a player, through his strong individual ability, to attract and contain the other two to wrap up, so that teammates can get open shots.

Howard paused, "I think it's okay for this system to be applied to you! And if we play together, I think it will work very well.

Howard didn't want to make too much of a fuss, so he followed the head coach to stabilize Francis's mood and then said that Francis was too irritable, but indeed, Howard was right.

There are many top-level outside players as the core and shooters in later generations, such as the Warriors with Curry as the core, the Rockets with Harden as the core, the Hawks with Yang as the core, and so on.

But these are top stars with three-point shooting, Francis's three-point ability, not to mention Howard, Francis himself knows that it is not ideal, to be honest, it must not be possible to use Francis as the tactical core, but with his own partner, it will definitely have a good effect, just like the 'OK' combination.

And compared to himself, Francis's offensive ability is definitely not as good as himself, just look at the data during his time with the Rockets, you can know that at the best time, the average scoring data per game can exceed 20 points, and it is in exchange for high shots.

Therefore, the core can only be himself, and now he will be pacified first, and he will be willing to fight according to the system and tactics.

"Well, let's do it, the day after tomorrow is the team's training camp, that afternoon, Francis you and Howard formed a five-man team, we played a 15-minute team training game without a suspension, and if Francis you can win, the team will play around you.

Johnny rubbed his forehead, "If you lose, then the new season will be played according to the tactical system I have developed, how about it?" "

Yes, but I want to choose my teammates first!" Francis nodded in agreement, but asked for the right to choose teammates first, Francis had a simple idea, just worried that Howard would deliberately separate Mobley and Cato, who had a good relationship with him.

"No problem, for the sake of fairness, I won't arrange the tactical play with the players in advance, it's up to you two to adjust it yourself. Johnny has a lot of confidence in Howard, one is because Howard is familiar with the system and tactics, and the other is Howard's personal strength.

"Boss Fro, you can't play tricks when you lose!" Howard looked at Francis confidently.

Head coach Johnny proposed this intra-team game, which was exactly what he wanted, and he had the idea of establishing his position as the core of the team through this kind of intra-team competition.

"Hmph, boy, don't worry, don't cry when you lose!" Francis was also confident.

When Francis left the arena, Howard approached Nelson and told him about the team game that he was going to play in the training camp the day after tomorrow.

"Wow, really? Boss, I'm going to be on your side!" Nelson said as I hugged Howard's thighs tightly.

"Nonsense, you must be on the same team as me, Francis himself is the point guard, their team doesn't need you, and besides, we have both practiced together for so long, and we have a tacit understanding.

Howard rubbed his hands on his chest with the basketball.

"Don't drop the chain when the time comes, follow Francis, you are about the same weight as him, as long as he is given a certain confrontation and affects his shooting, then his shooting rate will definitely drop, if he breaks through, you follow, rest assured, I will be on his breakthrough route, block him, I want to let them know how good I am!"

Soon it was September 10th, the team's training day, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the players came to the stadium one after another.

Now, the Magic's lineup

point guards: Francis, Nelson point guards

: Mobley, Stevenson, Christie, Ogmont

Small forward: Grant Hill, Andrew

Power forward: Turkoglou, Garriti, Bradley

centers: Howard, Cato, Barty, Casu

Howard glanced at the list of players, relatively speaking, the point guard and small forward positions are simpler, and the team will definitely be supplemented, while the center position is a bit too many.

At the shooting guard position, there are plenty of personnel, and the old cat Mobley can play as a cameo point guard, and Stevenson and Christie can sometimes be used as small forwards.

Howard had the team lineup in mind, and followed head coach Johnny to the training ground with his feet, already wearing the Magic's training uniform.

Howard saw Francis sitting on the sidelines with Mobley and Cato chatting and simply stretching.

Hill and a couple of his old Magic teammates seemed to be discussing something interesting, and a few of them were grinning.

The rest are newcomers or newcomers who have just traded, each doing their own thing.

"Guys, come here, assemble!" Johnny clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to come to him.

"Hello everyone, I'm your head coach, David Johnny!" Johnny said, looking around.

"I'm going to lead you in the new season, and I hope we can work together to make our team achieve our goals!"

Howard applauded.

"Because there are a lot of changes in the team, let's introduce ourselves first! Start on my right-hand side.

So, everyone began to introduce themselves in order, and when the introduction was over, Johnny said what he planned for the day.

In the morning, we will do simple recovery training and physical training, and in the afternoon, we will arrange an intra-team competition to check everyone's status.

After finishing the morning's workout, Johnny called out to Hill alone and asked Hill to go to the office with him.

Howard knew that Johnny was trying to persuade Hill to practice his three-point shooting and improve Hill's three-point shooting percentage, so as to reduce Hill's confrontation and consumption in the new season and avoid Hill's injury again.

Howard, who was in later generations, knew that after Hill was traded to the Suns, his three-point ability was developed very well, and he was not soft at critical moments.
