"Dong dong dong!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Han Ning came to his senses and said softly: "Come in."

Steve Kerr walked into the office, his expression not looking good.

There has been a thorn in Steve Kerr's heart these past two days.

During the last time Han Ning was suspended, he coached the Rockets for one game.

But the first half of that game was very poor.

If Han Ning hadn't made a phone call during the halftime break, scolded the other teammates and woke them up, then the Rockets would have lost that game.

Originally, he had been involved in the work of the coaching staff in the team, and Han Ning even asked him to be responsible for the tactical planning of the substitute lineup.

This makes Steve Kerr think that he should be an extremely talented person.

Otherwise, how could Han Ning give him such a heavy responsibility?

But reality slapped him in the face.

Let him understand that the head coach's job is not that easy.

At least when the Rockets players were in poor condition, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Han Ning found the opportunity to make a phone call.

Otherwise, if the Rockets lose to the Warriors, the responsibility will be his.

Steve Cole, who looked dejected as Han Ning felt a little confused, asked softly: "What's wrong, Cole?!"

Steve Kerr looked up at Han Ning, sighed softly and then said: "Boss, am I not suitable to be a coach?!"

Han Ning was stunned for a moment after hearing Steve Kerr's words, and then asked: "Why do you say that?!"

"Boss, last time we played against the Warriors, if you hadn't made that call, we would have lost."

"I originally thought about saying something and doing something like you. But at that time, I really didn't know what to say or do. I was wondering if I was really not suitable to be a head coach.

?!"

Han Ning slowly lowered his head and pondered.

He really didn't expect that the previous game would actually make Steve Kerr lose his confidence.

In the original history, Steve Kerr should have worked as a commentator after retiring, and only became the head coach of the Warriors after a few years of silence.

During those quiet years, Steve Kerr had enough time to perfect his tactical understanding.

I asked Steve Kerr to try to coach an entire game so long in advance, which was indeed a bit counterproductive.

Moreover, in that game, because of his suspension and back-to-back away games, the state of the Rockets players was greatly affected.

Therefore, as a new head coach, it is normal for Steve Kerr to perform poorly in his first coaching game.

But when Steve Kerr saw Han Ning lowering his head and saying nothing, he felt somewhat panicked.

He very much hoped that Han Ning could clearly tell him whether he had the talent to be a head coach.

But Han Ning's silence made him feel less confident.

"I know, boss. I'm going back first." Steve Kerr said in a deep voice.

Han Ning raised his head, looked at Steve Cole's back and was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Wait, Cole, wait."

Steve Kerr stopped and looked at Han Ning.

"What do I know?! I haven't said anything yet." Han Ning said softly.

Steve Kerr blinked and then asked: "Boss, you didn't speak just now, wasn't it because you thought I didn't have talent, so it was difficult to answer?!"

After Han Ning heard Steve Kerr's words, he immediately laughed and said softly: "When did I say that?! If you don't have talent, can I let you be responsible for the tactical arrangements of the substitute lineup?

?!"

"It was indeed a bit difficult for you to coach that game before. The team's poor performance at the beginning was not your fault."

"If you don't understand something in the future, just ask me directly and I will do my best to help you."

"Cole, you have to believe me, my vision is correct. You will definitely become a championship coach in the future!"

Seeing Han Ning's serious expression, Steve Kerr finally felt confident.

Han Ning is definitely the top head coach in the entire league in the hearts of all Rockets players.

If Han Ning says that he has talent and can become a championship coach in the future, then he will not be bad at all!

Steve Kerr's eyes gradually became brighter, his breathing gradually became faster, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand, thank you, boss!"

Han Ning smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Steve Kerr left Han Ning's office.

At this time, the smile on Han Ning's face became even brighter.

Steve Kerr just came over to talk to him, and happened to give him some ideas. It made him think of ways to deal with Princeton's style of play.

Thinking of this, Han Ning stood up, walked out of the office, and came to the training ground.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Gather!" Han Ning shouted loudly while clapping.

The Rockets players rushed over and lined up in front of Han Ning.

"Tomorrow, we will make some changes to our starting lineup." Han Ning's words directly attracted the attention of the Rockets players.

"Starting point guard, Devin Brown. Shooting guard, Manu Ginobili. Small forward, Shane Battier. Power forward, Big Zhi. Starting center, Kevin Cato."

After hearing Han Ning's arrangement, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.

Regarding the starting lineup for tomorrow's game, it is really a big change from usual!

Except for Shane Battier, everyone else had been on the bench this season.

It can be said that Han Ning's choice is very bold!

Some people even began to wonder if Han Ning wanted to give up his fifteenth consecutive victory.

Otherwise, why would it be arranged like this?!

After Steve Kerr heard Han Ning's arrangement, his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "Boss, do we want to play small ball?!"

The other Rockets players couldn't help but look at each other in shock after hearing Steve Kerr's words.

They all know small ball tactics.

Previously, the Rockets' bench lineup had been playing small-ball tactics.

The results achieved are also very good.

But those results were achieved against other teams' substitute lineups.

As for whether it can compare with other teams' starting lineups, no one knows.

If it's against a weak team, that's okay.

But are the Sacramento Kings weak?!

Obviously not weak!

And it’s very strong!

It can be said that Han Ning's choice is quite risky.

Han Ning nodded heavily and said: "Yes, we will play small ball tactics!"

Isn’t Princeton’s tactics mainly focused on wearing down the opponent’s team’s energy?!

Then I will use small ball tactics to fight you and use up your energy!

Let’s see who spends more than who!

When the Sacramento Kings' starting lineup is no longer strong enough, he will replace him with Dayao to play in the paint.
Chapter completed!
