The King of the NBA

Chapter 312 - Leadership Trial



“This… isn’t it fair for Carrefour?” Ning Yi hesitated. He actually understood what Adelman meant, but felt he should consider Carrefour’s feelings.

   After all, Love is his friend, not just a teammate who has a competitive relationship.

   is a friend, you should consider it for the other party, at least Ning Yi thinks so, he still can’t do the almost impersonal “seeking truth from facts” like Americans.

Adelman smiled and said, “Ning, you don’t need to worry. I mean, letting you try to be a leader doesn’t directly relegate to Love, do you understand?” Seeing Ning Yi still doesn’t understand, Adelman Continue to explain: “In fact, in a team, as long as a player’s strength reaches a certain level, he has the prerequisites to become a leader, and the team will naturally come to try to become a team leader.”

   “For example, Le Fu, he also has such an opportunity, before you arrive, we have already let him try to become a leader. It is a pity that the effect is not good.”

   “Now that you have come and experienced a season of training, your strength is no less than that of Lefu.” Adelman said: “I think that your’Leadership Trial’ can be started.”

   “‘Leadership Trial’?” Ning Yi murmured.

Adelman said: “Yes, you can think of this as a trial and give yourself a chance. Of course, this is also an opportunity for our team. A team can have two cores, and even There are three core players, but the most important thing is to have a leader. We do not have this. You see the Heat, Wade, Bosh, and James. They are all the core, but there is only one leader, that is LeBron James.”

   “Maybe nothing in the regular season, but it is important to have a leader in the playoffs.” Adelman patted Ning Yi’s arm. “This is not for you, but for the team.”

  Ning Yi frowned and thought.

He believes that Adelman is right. The team must have a leader, such as the Heat. At the beginning, James arrived, but they did not immediately establish James’ leadership position. In the regular season, this is nothing. The Heat entered smoothly. Playoffs.

   But after entering the playoffs, the problem appeared.

  When the team has a problem, when dealing with the key ball, is it for Wade or James? In such a situation, even if hesitated, it may delay the fighter and lead to failure.

   So afterwards, Wade took the initiative to communicate with James and told him “Brother, you are more suitable to be a leader than me. This team needs you to be a leader.”

   Of course, the Timberwolves haven’t reached that point yet, but Adelman has to consider it. From a long-term perspective, this problem will inevitably come, so from now on, let Ning Yi start “trial”, it is not unnecessary.

   Adelman did not say that Ning Yi grew too fast.

   Ning Yi’s rapid growth surprised Adelman, and this growth continued, and did not stop there. Adelman thinks that in another year, at most two years, Ning Yi’s strength may surpass that of Lefu. If it is not until that time, will Ning Yi start the “leadership trial”?

   “Ning.” Adelman smiled, throwing the last sentence, “Do you think, between personal gains and losses and championship rings, which one does Carrefour care about?”

   “The championship.” Ning Yi blurted out.

  No need to think about it, because he knows about Love.

   Carrefour was born into a family and hesitated from a young age. The pursuit of playing is not only about money, but also about his personal gains and losses. He wants to realize his dream and be the championship.

   And, in the Timberwolves in the past few years, Love has already proven himself. What he needs now is no longer to prove himself, but to win the championship.

   “Hoo…” Ning Yi took a deep breath and looked at Adelman: “Coach, when will my “trial” start?”

   “Haha.” Adelman smiled and said: “It has already begun.”

  ……

  The Timberwolves ushered in another game against the Mavericks.

   The last game lost to the Pelicans, the Timberwolves self-reflection, this is naturally not useless, in this game against the Mavericks, everyone’s mental outlook is obviously different.

  From the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves played very calmly. Whether it was leading or lagging, the players were not impatient and patiently played according to tactics.

   For ordinary fans, you may not feel anything.

   But for those who know the ball, they can feel the difference of the Timberwolves. The calmness of this scene and the impatience of the previous one form a sharp contrast, which can be felt by careful observation.

   “This is the quality that a strong team should have.” One person said: “The Timberwolves are still young. The last time they ate young losses, but they can change so quickly, but it surprised me.”

“Yes.” Beside, another person said: “Looking at the situation today, the Timberwolves won’t have the problem of winning the game. In fact, I feel that Ning seems to have some changes, which are different from others~www.mtlnovel.com~ Oh?” The previous man was surprised.

  The man continued: “You see that the game he just played, in addition to being calm, has an extra momentum.”

   “What momentum?”

   “I said bad, just vaguely felt, not sure what.”

  Compared with the last game, the Timberwolves have changed, and Ning Yi has also changed, but Ning Yi’s changes are because of the “leader’s trial”.

   With the beginning of the “Leadership Trial”, Ning Yi’s temperament has also changed, but it is not obvious now, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it.

Against the Mavericks, the Timberwolves won steadily, Ning Yi scored 27 points, plus 11 assists, 5 rebounds; Love scored 29 points, 10 assists, in addition to Jokic, Dion, Martin, Turner also scored in double figures, and after losing to the Pelicans, the Timberwolves returned to victory.

“Although Ning only got 27 points, not as good as Le Fodor, but his scoring is very critical, almost all when the team needs it.” Adelman looked at Ning Yi, smiling, “I didn’t watch Wrong, Ning is a natural leader. This season, we can certainly go further, and I look forward to it more and more.”

   “Adelman, it’s all thanks to me. If it weren’t for me, Ning wouldn’t come to the Timberwolves.” Terry Potter lifted his face and said proudly.

   Adelman laughed: “Yes, thank you, my old friend.”

   This is Ning Yi’s first game to start the “Leadership Trial.” He is trying to do what a leader should do, using a leader’s thinking to think about problems and review the game.

   This is a novel experience.
