Ginobili was sitting on the plane, feeling a little dazed.

In the past few days, he also talked with Buford and the team's head coach Gregg Popovich.

At that time, Ginobili really thought that he would be the future of the Spurs and an important puzzle piece for the Spurs to compete for the championship.

But within two days, Ginobili was informed that he had been traded.

Indeed, Mobley's current performance in the league is something that Ginobili cannot yet compete with.

But this strong contrast between before and after made Ginobili unable to accept it for a while, and even began to have some doubts about himself.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Ginobili took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and got off the plane.

At this moment, Ginobili really doesn't know how he will go about his future in the NBA.

"Hey! Manu! Here!"

Ginobili was in the hall when he suddenly heard someone calling his name and hurriedly raised his head and looked over.

A Chinese face appeared in the distance, and Ginobili was a little surprised.

The fact that the Rockets' head coach was recently replaced by a young Chinese man is well known throughout the league.

Especially under the coaching of Han Ning, Dayao, Posey, and Battier all performed very well, and the team won three out of three games.

So even though Ginobili was a little face-blind when he saw Chinese people, he could still recognize that the person who picked him up at the airport was Han Ning, the Chinese head coach of the Rockets.

Ginobili came to Han Ning somewhat flattered.

Han Ning stepped forward very enthusiastically and gave Ginobili a big hug, then said with a smile: "Manu, I've finally waited for you."

Ginobili asked with a strange expression: "Coach, why did you come to pick up the plane?!"

A mysterious smile appeared on Han Ning's face, and he whispered: "You are the player I named, so of course I will come to pick you up!"

When Ginobili heard this, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

The importance Han Ning paid to him made him suddenly feel that he was still valuable.

After returning to the club with Ginobili, Han Ning took Ginobili into the office.

After inviting Ginobili to sit down, Han Ning looked at him enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

I’ve already been picked up at the airport, how could I not use the brainwashing method!

We must take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Ginobili.

Me! Han·Social Master·Life Coach·NBA’s Most Popular Coach·Ning! I will never allow a player to have an opinion against me!

"Manu, I think I need to talk to you." Han Ning said softly.

Ginobili immediately became nervous when he heard this.

Although he has achieved many good results in European competitions and national team competitions, in the NBA, he is still just a rookie.

"Manu, do you know what the team's goal is this season?!"

Ginobili shook his head in confusion.

Han Ning's face showed strong confidence, and he puffed up his chest and said: "Championship! This season, we have only one goal, and that is the championship!"

Ginobili couldn't help but look at Han Ning with wide eyes.

champion!

If this kind of goal was stated by the head coach of the Spurs or Lakers, there would be no problem.

But the Rockets’ goal is a championship?!

It sounds somewhat absurd.

Is it possible that with Dayao as the No. 1 pick, Battier as a second-year player, and All-Star Francis?!

If this lineup can win the championship, then it is estimated that a large number of NBA coaches will lose their jobs!

I have to say that in everyone's eyes now, the Rockets' lineup is only as good as the lineup that can make the playoffs.

Han Ning saw the disbelief in Ginobili's eyes and said with a smile: "Manu, you just came to the team and you may not know the strength of your teammates. The most important thing is that you may

You don’t know your own strength!”

"My own strength?!" Ginobili couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Originally, he was a very confident person, with a very clear judgment of his own strength, and he believed that he would definitely become a superstar player in the NBA!

But after being transferred by the Spurs without hesitation, he now has some self-doubts about his own ability.

"Yes, that's right! Your own strength! Manu, believe my vision. You are the player I named! You are one of the most important puzzle pieces for the Rockets to compete for the championship!"

Han Ning's words reminded Ginobili of what Popovich had said to him before, which was almost exactly the same.

Gritting his teeth, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, he asked in a deep voice: "Coach, I want to know what my position is in the team."

Ginobili didn't want to go through the experience of trading him out after describing him as an integral part of the team.

With a smile on his face, Han Ning said softly: "Manu, in my heart, you are the best sixth man candidate in the entire league!"

"Sixth man?!" Ginobili asked with questions on his face.

What Popovich told him before was that he would become a starter in the next few years and then become the Spurs' star.

As a result, when it came to Han Ning, he became the best sixth man.

This positioning made Ginobili very puzzled.

"Manu, do you understand the role of a best sixth man to a team?!"

Han Ning's expression became serious and he said seriously: "In other teams, the sixth man is only a player who has the ability to serve as a starter, but has to be put on the bench for tactical reasons."

"But in the Rockets, the role of the sixth man is definitely more than that! What I need is an absolute superstar to lead another set of player lineups in the team to perform on par with or even exceed the performance of the starting lineup!

"

"I need someone who can connect the offense and defense of other teammates, and who can perform at a superstar level himself! This person can lead his teammates to smash the bench lineups of all teams in the league to the ground! Don't

The substitute lineup of a team is to buy rest time for the main players. But in the Rockets, what I need is a superstar who can lead his teammates to catch up with the score or widen the score gap to seal the victory!"

"This person belongs to you!"

Han Ning's words made Ginobili feel a little excited.

Han Ning, who has experienced all kinds of poisonous chicken soup in later generations, is really good at deceiving people.

"But...the sixth man is still a substitute." Ginobili said with some confusion.

Han Ning gently patted Ginobili on the shoulder and said softly: "Manu. Not all stars can play the role of the sixth man in my mind. Even the leaders of most teams.

Not even the stars!"

"What's the point of playing against a group of teammates and enemies with similar strengths? If you want to fight, you have to defeat the strong with the weak. Tell everyone that as long as you are here, even the substitute lineup can perform like an All-Star!"

Ginobili was completely conquered by Han Ning's words.
Chapter completed!
