Conquest The Rise of Will Shore

Chapter 2: How to “fool” Michael Jordan?

After the initial confusion, helplessness, excitement and other emotions gradually subsided, Wang Shuo discovered a lot of interesting information by reading the identity memory of this body in this life.

In this life, Wang Shuo was adopted by an American couple without children when he was 8 years old. His adoptive father was a college basketball coach.

Unfortunately, when this body was 17 years old, his adoptive parents were killed in a car accident, so Wang Shuo returned to the state of being "fatherless and motherless" again.

Then, relying on the inheritance left by his adoptive father, Wang Shuo successfully passed the relevant basketball coach examination in the United States, and after obtaining the GOTTA qualification, he relied on his adoptive father's old connections to become a college basketball coach.

If nothing unexpected happens, the original owner of this body will continue to work as an American college basketball coach.

After all, the NBA only has 30 teams, and in 2001, there were only 29 (the Charlotte Bobcats had not yet joined the league), but how many colleges are there in the United States? And how many college basketball coaches are there?

And because many universities do not easily change coaches, many American basketball coaches prefer coaching college basketball teams to the fiercely competitive NBA.

But fate seemed to have arranged it. In a school team game in January this year, under the watchful eye of team owner Qiao who came to relax at the time, the team coached by Wang Shuo completed a stunning 20-point reversal in the second half.

Huh? A 20-point comeback is also called a shocking comeback?

Wake up, this is college basketball, and it's American college basketball in 2001.

You know, a big reason why Stephen Curry became famous all over the United States in the future was because he led Davidson to complete a reversal against the second-seeded Georgetown after falling behind by 17 points in the first half during March Madness in his college years.

As for the many brainless Cole fans who later said such nonsense as their brother was not favored before the draft and that his brother relied on his own efforts to make a name for himself in the NBA, let's not talk about it, there are indeed fans who said that their brother insisted on dancing even though he had a 50-degree fever.

What kind of international joke is this that Chris Paul can win the championship?

Is it possible that the seventh pick in the first round is already a very high pick in the NBA, and the reason why Stephen Curry fell to this pick in the future is purely because he publicly stated before the draft that he would not go to any other team except the New York Knicks?

As we all know, due to the Francis incident that year, the Grizzlies, who were still in Vancouver at the time, almost wasted a second pick. So when a player has a strong personal desire, most NBA teams will express understanding and respect for it.

After all, leaving aside the salary, even if it is the Director Mu incident that will cause a lot of uproar in the football world in the future, is it surprising for these stars in the NBA?

Wanting to be the boss of the team is also a black spot?

Died of laughter.

As a star league, the NBA's superstars have almost supreme power and can often even communicate directly with the team owner.

Therefore, apart from an iron-headed old man like Nelson, who else would be willing to snatch the opportunity from Curry, who has already signed a lifelong contract with the Knicks?

However, no matter how shocking the reversal was, for Team Owner Joe, who was already accustomed to big scenes, it was just an ordinary college basketball game.

After all, as the "God of Basketball", apart from the tragedy of the century where he was beaten by 58 points in the playoffs, what kind of scenes has Joe, the team owner, not seen?

In that game, what really impressed team owner Qiao was the scene where a player from Wang Shuo's team flew to save the ball.

At that time, the team coached by Wang Shuo was obviously in low morale due to the failure to save the ball and the team was trailing by a large margin.

"Don't give up hope even at the last moment. Basketball games are never decided by scores. If you give up now, the game is truly over."

Because team owner Qiao was sitting on the sidelines at the time, he not only heard Wang Shuo's words of encouragement to his players, but he also witnessed Wang Shuo's team complete a reversal afterwards.

This also became the main reason why Jordan chose Wang Shuo among a group of head coach candidates after Doug Collins declined Jordan's invitation due to health reasons after the world line of this life changed.

"No wonder. I haven't even met Jordan yet, but his favorability towards me is already 40." After carefully reading the original memories of this body, Wang Shuo sighed while browsing the system interface.

Although Wang Shuo has always been confident, but if he had not had this experience with this body, then after calming down, even Wang Shuo thought that it would be impossible to complete the "Idol, Did You Choose?" series of tasks previously released by the system.

Of course, even with this experience and the memories of his past life, Wang Shuo did not think that he could complete this task easily.

Because rather than saying that the task is to win the favor of gotta Michael Jordan, it is better to say that it is about how to fool Jordan.

But, is Team Owner Qiao really so easy to fool at this moment?

Not to mention that he has already been awarded many honors and has the most experience in the league.

Just talking about his legendary life experience, what kind of sweet words did you getta use to move his rock-hard heart?

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo took a deep breath.

However, no matter what, the opportunity is right in front of him, and for Wang Shuo, whose dream has become reality, he doesn't want to miss it.

In his previous life, Wang Shuo was not simply blindly confident, but he really worked hard on how to be the NBA head coach.

As a basketball blogger who already has millions of fans, he lives frugally in his daily life. In addition to being a habit developed from his difficult experiences in his early years, it is mainly because he is not interested in material enjoyment.

Almost every moment he has, he will take the time to analyze the tactics of the NBA teams.

He has his own unique understanding of this, and it is by no means a blind copy.

He has consulted many professional basketball coaches and even tried to contact top foreign trainers through various channels, in order to understand and master what kind of sport basketball is from all aspects.

Therefore, when the opportunity was right in front of him, Wang Shuo realized that this might be the only chance in his life.

He had to catch it.

In the hotel, after thinking about various angles on how to approach the "Idol, Did You Choose?" series of tasks, Wang Shuo discovered that although this thing called "Basketball Coaching Assistant System (BCAS)" did not seem to have the abnormal functions of directly modifying the player's abilities as in those brainless basketball novels in his previous life, for him, it was a weapon that could be called a miracle.

First of all, in addition to the personal interface that can be seen with the currently unlocked functions, Wang Shuo discovered that the team interface is mainly composed of three parts.

One is the team-related status information column.

Can check team chemistry, training level and team morale.

The other is the relationship column between player and head coach.

You can check the favorability between yourself and the players of the team you coach.

The last column is the relationship between staff and head coach.

You can check your favorability with the team members you coach.

In the system interface, although the system clearly states that the above data are obtained through big data analysis and may differ from the highly uncontrollable reality, for Wang Shuo, who has been a homebody all his life, it can provide him with great help in his future interpersonal relationships.

You know, as a league of stars, oftentimes, the NBA head coach needs to worry about more than just game tactics and daily training.

In Wang Shuo’s previous life, the main reason why many European coaches couldn’t play the NBA was that they thought the NBA was too simple.

To put it bluntly, no matter how good your tactics are, do you need players to execute them?

need?

Well, then can you guarantee that you can handle the team’s star player?

In the NBA, Wang Shuo is not being naughty, but in this league, there are many head coaches whose tactical theory level is quite average.

But they can not only coach in the NBA, but even succeed.

The reason is simple, because in the NBA, the quality of tactics is only one factor that determines a team's victory or defeat.

Tactics not working?

Don’t you still have offensive and defensive assistant coaches?

No arrangement for daily training?

Can't you hire various training coaches to assist you?

But can’t handle interpersonal relationships?

Sorry, please turn left when you go out, the NBA does not welcome you.

Mike Brown in Wang Shuo's memory is a good example.

This man's defensive skills are superb, but when he was a head coach, he never won a championship ring, and was even criticized by the media for problems such as his on-the-spot response.

But during his time as an assistant coach for the Warriors, he not only successfully won a championship ring, but also received unanimous praise from both inside and outside.

Why?

Because of his different position, Mike Brown no longer has to worry about decision-making issues in the game, which he is not good at, and can instead focus all his work on how to improve the team's defense.

Therefore, on the surface, the function of being able to check favorability is nothing special, but in real life, in Wang Shuo's eyes, it is an absolute king bomb.

Because after the system analyzes the behaviors of Wang Shuo and the people around him in a scientific way and quantifies them into reference data, it can make up for Wang Shuo's shortcomings to the greatest extent.

In addition, the team chemistry, training level and team morale that can be queried can greatly help Wang Shuo stabilize the team's locker room during the coaching process.

In the system interface, the upper limit of team chemistry is positive 3 and the lower limit is negative 3. It will be modified over time and as events occur in daily life.

According to the system's explanation, team chemistry affects the stability within the locker room of the team coached by Wang Shuo. It is a real-time data evaluation given by the system based on comprehensive aspects.

This also fully explains why after Wang Shuo completes the "Idol, Did You Choose?" series of tasks, the Washington Wizards will get a year-long team chemistry +1.

Because for the current Wizards team, there is no doubt that Michael Jordan is the absolute boss, both on and off the court.

Especially before he had a falling out with the Wizards' stingy team owner and the management led by Unseld, in order to rely on Jordan to sell tickets and boost the team's market value, basically, as long as Wang Shuo could deal with Michael Jordan, he would have dealt with the entire Wizards.

Unlike team chemistry, team training is based on a percentage system.

It is a real-time floating data reference based on the team's training level.

According to the system's explanation, a team with a high degree of training will be able to better execute the tasks assigned by the coach on the court.

It has nothing to do with the strength of the team, because in basketball, a sport where talent can overwhelm tactics, this does not mean that a low-training team cannot win.

As for team morale, it is another real-time floating data consideration given by the system based on various reasons on and off the field. To put it simply, you can simply understand it as a team with higher morale is more likely to turn the tables in adversity.

But it is also not absolute.

Because a basketball game is never a math problem.

At present, all the team status information that Wang Shuo can query has a "?" after it, because before he officially starts coaching, the system cannot analyze and evaluate the data of the team he coaches.

The only thing he could see was the relationship between him and Michael Jordan.

Moreover, before July 1, he must find a way to raise his favorability with Jordan to above 70.

Even if possible, his relationship with Jordan must be kept at a relatively high level.

After understanding the principles of the system, Wang Shuo knew that this was probably a safety line drawn by the system for various reasons.

In other words, according to the system's big data analysis, once Wang Shuo's favorability with Jordan is lower than 70, he may be fired by the Washington Wizards at any time.

And this is not difficult to understand.

Because when there was no other data to provide additional analysis reference, Wang Shuo knew that this was the system reminding him that his position as coach was not secure and could only be protected by Qiao, the team owner.

In other words, as long as his favorability with team owner Joe can reach 70, he will be relatively safe even if the Wizards management and team owner dislike him.

To put it bluntly, it’s the same old saying.

Before falling out with Michael Jordan, the Wizards management and team owner did not dare to confront Jordan head-on.

After all, you have to eat!

Meanwhile, in the hotel, Wang Shuo was still thinking about which angle to approach the task of "Did you choose the idol?" when the Wizards' general manager Unseld called.

Look, isn’t this the entry point that Wang Shuo wanted?

On the phone, Unseld told Wang Shuo that the team hoped he could come together tomorrow to discuss the Wizards' development plan for next season.

At that time, in addition to the team's management leaders who will all be present, Michael Jordan will also participate.

On the phone, Unseld, a Wizards legend, the ancient Finals MVP, nicknamed "Bone Crusher", naturally could not be polite to Wang Shuo, the NBA rookie coach.

Therefore, it would be more accurate to say that he was giving an order rather than inviting Wang Shuo to participate in tomorrow's discussion.

But how could Unseld know that compared to his condescending attitude on the phone, Wang Shuo's attention had already been attracted by a super plug-in that the system opened for him after this time travel.

That is...

"When did my English become so good?" Although Wang Shuo was able to communicate with foreigners fluently in English in his previous life, he could swear on his chest that his listening and speaking skills were definitely not that good.

Anyway, no matter what.

In Wang Shuo's opinion, tomorrow is an excellent opportunity to make a move.

Because even if he is temporarily the head coach of the Wizards next season, in his opinion, he probably won't have many opportunities to meet Jordan before July 1.

So now comes the question.

Tomorrow, how will Wang Shuo "fool" Michael Jordan?
