After walking out of the general manager's office, Rudy patted Han Ning on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come with me, I will introduce you to your future colleagues, and then I can go home to recuperate."

Han Ning's expression was a little complicated. He didn't know whether he should thank Rudy. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have become the head coach of the Rockets.

Following Rudy to the training ground, the Rockets players were training at this time.

Han Ning saw Dayao, who was still a little green, at a glance.

At a height of 226, even in the crowded NBA, he still stands out from the crowd.

Rudy clapped his hands vigorously and motioned for everyone to gather.

It didn't take long for the Rockets players to line up in front of Rudy, and other assistant coaches gathered around.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Han, who, like Yao, is from China. Starting today, he will succeed me as the head coach of the Rockets."

Rudy's words made everyone present widen their eyes.

"Boss, are you kidding me?!" Francis asked with his mouth wide open.

Rudy shook his head and said: "I am serious. I have submitted my resignation report. Han has also signed the contract. From now on, he will lead you to continue to compete in the NBA. Han is a very capable person."

....."

Yao Ming did not listen to Rudy's praise for Han Ning at this time, but looked at Han Ning with some embarrassment.

After arriving in a foreign country, he rarely saw other Chinese people except his parents. Therefore, he was very curious about Han Ning in front of him.

After Han Ning felt Dayao's gaze, she turned her head and smiled at him.

Such a young Yao is really missed.

Rudy praised Han Ning a few words and then left. He had resigned. It was not good to stay in the training ground for too long, so he handed the stage to Han Ning.

After Han Ning sent Rudy out of the training ground, he turned around and walked back.

At this time, none of the Rockets players left, but all of them were looking at Han Ning with their eyes.

Too young! This is the first impression all Rockets players have of Han Ning.

Among all NBA teams, there has never been a head coach so young.

In addition, Han Ning is from China, many players have some speculations in their minds.

Looking at the weird looks on everyone's faces, Han Ning knew exactly what his current situation was like.

"My name is Han Ning. From today on, you can call me boss or coach. I don't want to say more useless words. I just want to tell you. As long as you play the game according to my requirements, I will lead you this year."

You take home the championship trophy!”

After saying that, Han Ning wrote a word on the whiteboard behind him.

champion!

This time, everyone looked at him even more strangely.

Some players even started talking quietly.

"Isn't this new head coach not very smart?! Is it so easy to win a championship?!"

"Championship?! Haha, let's get into the playoffs first!"

"Chinese people don't like to talk big, do they? Yao Yao has never been so boastful."

"What do the team management think, and why do they find such a person to replace Rudy?!"

In the eyes of all the players and assistant coaches, this is almost impossible.

They know very well what the team's current strength is.

Last season, he ranked last, even though he got the No. 1 pick and drafted Yao.

But Dayao has not been able to show his true strength in regular competitions so far.

Even if Dayao can exert his own strength, the Rockets cannot directly have the strength to win the championship. It is even difficult to say that they can reach the playoffs.

Now that Han Ning said he would lead them to win the championship, naturally no one would agree.

Han Ning said nothing, just looked at everyone quietly.

Gradually, no one continued to discuss it.

Francis looked at the young man in front of him and felt a little touched in his heart. He could see the determination in Han Ning's eyes.

This shows that he really intends to lead them to win the championship!

"Coach, you said you would lead us to win the championship, what are you going to do?! How can you make us believe in you?!" Francis couldn't help but ask.

This can be regarded as a favor for Dayao and Han Ning, who is also a Chinese. Otherwise, with his temper, it is possible to just throw away and leave.

Han Ning folded his arms and said softly: "How about we make a bet. The opponent in the next game is the Phoenix Suns. As long as you do what I say, I guarantee that you can win this game, and the score difference will be more than

Twenty points! If I fail to do it, I will resign!"

After hearing Han Ning's words, Francis couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The Phoenix Suns are not a weak team, they are a strong team at the playoff level!

Not only are Marbury and Shawn Marion, two powerful players who average more than 20 points per game, but there is also Stoudemire, who participated in the draft with Dayao this year and currently averages 8.8 rebounds per game.

Facing such an opponent, it is almost impossible for the Rockets to beat them by more than 20 points.

Looking at the serious expression on Han Ning's face, Francis swallowed and said, "Okay! Let's take a bet! As long as you can lead us to beat the Suns by more than 20 points, I will call you boss from now on!"

After hearing this answer, Han Ning felt very satisfied.

This is the effect he wants.

Francis is the number one superstar on the team, and as long as he responds, the other players will basically do the same.

He is not afraid that the team is not strong enough, he is afraid that these players will be disobedient.

After all, considering Han Ning's qualifications and age, he really has no prestige at all.

"Very good, you can continue training, Dayao, come with me." Han Ning waved his hand, indicating to everyone to continue training, and then called Dayao out alone.

Taking Dayao to the head coach's office, Han Ning stretched out his hand to signal Dayao to sit down.

"Dayao, are you still used to living here?!"

Dayao said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, my teammates all take good care of me."

"That's good."

After a few polite words to Dayao, Han Ning was finally ready to get down to business.

The reason why he called Dayao out to talk alone today was because he wanted to change Dayao's mentality.

The current Dayao has some strength, but his mentality is still a big problem.

In China, what is pursued is team basketball, while in the NBA, what is pursued is individualistic heroes.

Let's use an analogy.

Dunking would be considered disrespectful to the opponent in China during this period.

But in the NBA, it is very embarrassing for a center who cannot dunk.

It is the most urgent need to make Dayao perform well and change his mentality so that he can play in a more confident and tough way on the court.
