Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 657 Become the first starter!
76ers, practice arena.

A group of players are training freely, and while they are training, they are also discussing that Coach Collins has been transferred and no longer serves as the head coach of the team.

"Coach Collins is no longer the head coach, will the team find a new head coach?"

"This is very possible, but I'm afraid the position of head coach will still be vacant in the short term. Even if we want to find a new head coach, it will take time."

"That's true. Now that Luke's assistant coach is temporarily acting as the head coach, I'm afraid he will make some changes to the team, but I don't know how?"

The sound of discussion came to his ears, Qin Hao just smiled, he didn't participate in this kind of discussion, although he didn't deal with Coach Collins, but he would not talk about Coach Collins at this time.

Speights came to Qin Hao's side and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations?" Qin Hao asked strangely.

"Congratulations, you will be the starter soon." Speights smiled and said, "Assistant Luke has always liked you very much. I heard that he suggested to Coach Collins more than once to let you be the starter. It's just that Coach Collins didn't deal with you. It’s just that I didn’t agree. Now that Luke’s assistant coach is acting as the head coach, he will definitely put you in the starting lineup.”

Qin Hao was noncommittal, but he was still somewhat nervous and looking forward to it. Of course he also wanted to be the starting player. Who wouldn't?
Meanwhile, the head coach's office.

Collins and Luke sat opposite each other, both silent.

"Coach." Luke's assistant coach spoke first, feeling extremely sad. He didn't expect to end up like this, and asked Coach Collins, "Would you like to say goodbye to the players?"

"No need." Coach Collins shook his head, "I just no longer serve as the team's head coach, and I'm still in the 76ers team, why say goodbye?" He looked around the head coach's office and said, "From now on this will be It's your office. Work hard, I hope you can secure the position of head coach."

Assistant Luke's heart tightened: "Coach, I."

Before he could speak, Coach Collins raised his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I really hope you can take my place as the head coach of the team. In fact, you have the ability to be the head coach. Just lacking some qualifications."

Assistant coach Luke is only 32 years old this year, and he is indeed very young in the NBA coaching circle.

Team coaches are different from players. Coaches are the older, more experienced, and more qualified, the better, and the opposite is true for players.

Of course, it doesn't mean that young coaches must be incapable, but if you want the team management to hand over the team to you and believe that you can lead the team to achieve good results, then you naturally have to have Enough historical grades, that's seniority.

Otherwise, how can people trust you?
Assistant coach Luke is still very young as a coach, and his qualifications are somewhat lacking, but this is an opportunity for him. If he can lead the 76ers to good results, he may not have a chance to be corrected.

Hearing what Coach Collins said just now, Luke thought he was satirizing himself for "grabbing class and seizing power", but now it seems that he misunderstood.

"Luke." Coach Collins said again: "After you take over, put Qin in the starting position. Based on his performance this season, he should have started a long time ago. Besides, he can score, organize and rebound well. A better starting point guard than Holiday."

As soon as these words came out, Assistant Luke couldn't help being stunned.

It took him a while to realize, and he asked in surprise, "Coach, since this is the case, why didn't you let Qin Da start earlier?"

"Hey" Coach Collins sighed, "It's all my fault. I have a prejudice against him, even though he performed very well. I finally realized when I played against the Clippers a few days ago. If Qin Hao was allowed to start earlier, maybe The team's record will be better, maybe we can win a few more games."

"Unfortunately, I understand too late."

Assistant Luke didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere fell into silence again.

In the end, it was Coach Collins who broke the calm. He stood up, patted Assistant Coach Luke on the shoulder, and said, "Do it well."

Assistant Luke nodded in agreement.

Training arena.

Seeing Luke's assistant coach approaching, the players shouted in unison: "Hi, Coach."

Assistant coach Luke agreed, summoned the players, and said, "Coach Collins has gone to a new position. Starting today, I will take over as the head coach." After all, coach Collins still did not come to say goodbye to the players. Assistant coach Luke In fact, I know that he has a lot of things to say to the players, but in the end they all turned into silence.

With a sigh in his heart, Luke's assistant coach calmed down and said, "Now start training against groups. Before the training starts, I want to announce something."

Everyone was shocked.

Assistant coach Luke's eyes fell on Qin Hao, and said: "From today, Qin will be the starting point guard." He didn't say that Holiday will be a substitute in the future, because there is no need to say it in public, and Qin Hao will be the starting point guard. Holiday is naturally a substitute.

Hearing this, the players all looked at Qin Hao and congratulated Qin Hao one after another. Speights even winked at Qin Hao, meaning to say, "You see, I am right."

Qin Hao suppressed the joy in his heart, and said solemnly: "Thank you coach, I will definitely perform well and will not let you down."

Assistant coach Luke nodded with a smile, and then began to group. Qin Hao was in a group with Iguodala, Brand, Speights, and Hawes.

Hawes breathed a sigh of relief in this grouping, and he also let go of his ups and downs for many days. Coach Collins left and assistant coach Luke took over. He seemed to have become the starting center again.

Huo Ledi was in a group with Lu Wei, Yang and others. He was expressionless and didn't say anything, so he could feel all kinds of feelings by himself.

But for this day, Holiday has actually been mentally prepared.

"Okay, let's start." Luke's assistant coach waved his hand, and the confrontation training began.

Now that the head coach has changed, the team's lineup has changed, and the tactics have to change. During the confrontation training, Luke's assistant coach began to make tactical adjustments.

Coach Collins did not formulate special tactics for Qin Hao before, but now Assistant Coach Luke has formulated several tactics specifically for Qin Hao, such as "breakout tactics", "three-point tactics", "empty cut tactics" and so on.
These tactics are all based on Qin Hao, around him, and strive to maximize Qin Hao's various abilities.

At the same time, since Holiday has become a backup point guard, the previous tactics of the backup lineup have to be adjusted.

Holiday's strength is still very strong. Although assistant coach Luke likes Qin Hao very much, he will not suppress Holiday because of this. He even specifically emphasized that the substitute lineup is centered on Holiday and Lu Wei. Organization, Lu Wei tends to be defensive, which is a good combination.

The day of training is over.

Everyone in the 76ers understands that the team has become different.
