Chapter 19 Different Grades

(I am rushing to the list, please support me, recommend votes, collection, please~)

***************

Fang Chen rubbed his head hard, then got out of bed and boiled some boiling water in the electric kettle in the room.

Now that I have a big headache, Fang Chen doesn’t know if drinking some water will be better.

Although there is no game today, there is still training in the afternoon. Generally speaking, the training is handled by the assistant coach. However, Fang Chen didn't know whether Michael Malone would fulfill his responsibilities, so he still had to come to the scene and work with Chris Jant to supervise the players' training.

Michael Malone is responsible for the players' physical training, while Chris Jante is responsible for the players' shooting training.

Since Fang Chen was promoted from his previous assistant coach to acting head coach, the Cavaliers currently lacked an assistant coach.

Fang Chen learned from Chris Jant that general manager Chris Grant has started looking for an assistant coach, perhaps Steve Clifford, the Magic's former assistant coach.

From 2003 to 2007, Steve Clifford was an assistant coach at the Rockets. In June 2007, he joined the Magic coaching staff. In the three seasons after he joined, the Magic made it to the playoffs.

Now, the famous assistant coach may have settled in Cleveland, which shows that Dan Gilbert has spent a considerable price to enhance the team's competitiveness in the league.

"If we can get the help of this Steve Clifford, the next test should be easier!" Fang Chen slowly drank two sips of water and murmured to himself.

…………

In the afternoon, Fang Chen arrived at the stadium half an hour in advance. He greeted Chris Jant in advance and told him that he would come in the afternoon.

The reason why Fang Chen came here half an hour in advance was to see if there were players in the team who had difficulty training like Kobe.

But to his disappointment, the entire training ground was empty.

Just as Fang Chen sighed and walked towards the head coach's office, he saw a guy who made him feel a little better - Daniel Gibson.

Fang Chen knows this player who is one year younger than him and plays the No. 1 position very well. Because whenever he sees this guy, Fang Chen can always think of himself.

At the beginning, when Fang Chen was still a player, he also played as a defender in the organization and was about the same height as Gibson. The two had similar situations in their respective teams, so Fang Chen was deeply impressed by Daniel Gibson.

"Hi, Daniel."

Daniel Gibson heard someone calling him and looked around before seeing Fang Chen.

"Hi, coach." Daniel Gibson responded.

"Why did it come so early?" Fang Chen asked knowingly with a warm smile on his face.

When Daniel Gibson heard this, he shrugged helplessly and replied: "I haven't been able to play because of an injury before, but I have recently returned but have not found my form. So of course, I have to work harder than others, otherwise I will definitely be eliminated by this environment."

After hearing Daniel Gibson's very conscious words, Fang Chen nodded with a smile.

"Well, I appreciate your attitude very much. I will let Coach Jane take charge of your shooting training later. You have to work harder!" Fang Chen walked to Gibson and patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

Although it is only one year older than Daniel Gibson, Fang Chen shows that it is much more mature than the former. This is not the maturity that appears on the surface, but the maturity that comes from the inside out.

From childhood to adulthood, Fang Chen has experienced too much in that difficult environment, so there are few people of his age who are more mature and stable than him.

"Hehe, understand!" Daniel Gibson responded excitedly.

Fang Chen and Daniel Gibson chatted for a few minutes and went to his office. He had to analyze the situation of the next opponent and formulate special tactics for them.

Fang Chen doesn't want to fight an unprepared battle. To put it bluntly, he can't afford to lose even in one game in the following nine games.

Just as Fang Chen closed the door and sat down, the door was knocked by "dongdongdongdongdong".

"Please come in."

Chris Jant pushed the door open and held a stack of information in his hand.

"Hey, man, what are you holding?" Fang Chen looked at the things in Chris Jant's hand and asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's the Magic's situation in the past two seasons. I've sorted it out and you can take a good look." Chris Jant put the information in front of Fang Chen and sat down.

Fang Chen said "Oh" and picked up the information and started reading it carefully.

"This summer, the Magic's moves are not big or small. They still favor offensive players very much, abandoning defensive player Matt Barnes, signing Quentin Richardson, Chris Duhon and Jason Williams in succession, and matching the Chicago Bulls' offer to J.J. Redick.

In the first two seasons, the Magic became the top three teams in the league. Last season, especially in the second half, the Magic performed particularly well, with attacking and defensive efficiency ranking first in the league.

However, in the Eastern Conference Finals, they did not cross the sophisticated Celtics. The fierce guys used meat grinders to curb Dwight Howard, Vince Carter, Rashad Lewis and Jamal Nelson. The Magic's other offensive points almost completely disappeared.

This season, the Magic continued to perform stably in Dwight Howard as before the previous seasons, and the Magic also performed quite stably in other scoring points, especially the two veterans Carter and Lewis.

I believe you also know that the Magic's biggest advantage lies in defense. In addition to that guy Howard, the entire team has done a good job in defense. However, their disadvantage is also obvious, that is, their lack of ability to create shooting opportunities. In the playoffs last season, the Magic were solved by the Celtics, which is basically the reason.

Most of the core players of the Magic team are around 30 years old, especially Rashad Lewis, who has slipped very well last season. Therefore, the Magic have gradually started to use young players like Ryan Anderson this season."

Chris Jant poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and continued: "If nothing unexpected happens, the Magic's starting lineup for the next game should be Howard, Ryan Anderson, Rashad Lewis, Carter and Jamal Nelson."

"Uh, such a starting lineup, haha, it's a level higher than our starting lineup! At least, this is the case in terms of salary." Fang Chen said with a wry smile.
