Chapter 7 Player Training

  Mark Allen is now at a loss for words to describe his ambition towards Zhu Fei. From Zhu Fei's ideas, it can be seen that he has embarked on a "road of no return", where failure is not an option, but Mark Allen has involuntarily followed him onto this road. Perhaps the path ahead is a precipice, and perhaps the future holds a crushing defeat, but as Mark Allen looks at Zhu Fei's resolute expression, he feels not a shred of regret.

  "Zhuang, no matter what the future holds, I'll always support you," Mark Allen said with a tone of resignation.

  Mark Allen's expression of loyalty made Zhuang Fei somewhat cry and laugh, "Mark, in fact, this matter is not simple, we need a lot of effort, and also need a lot of time, now our most important thing is to go see our new players first, Mark, let's go to the stadium"

  Although Mark Allen's morale was high, Zhuang Fei couldn't be optimistic at all. He was the head coach of this team, but in fact, he was just an interim head coach. In these two months, it was an open secret that the principal of Vickson High School was looking for the next head coach. Many famous schools' head coaches from Georgia Tech, Duke University, and North Carolina University were rumored to be in contact with Vickson High School. Zhuang Fei needed time, but perhaps he didn't know when he would be replaced, which was also his biggest worry. Fortunately, those star coaches seemed to have no intention of coaching at Vickson High School for the time being, giving Zhuang Fei more room to breathe.

  Zhuang Fei now urgently needs to shape up the team and then consolidate his precarious position with victory after victory.

  When Zhuang Fei and Mark Allen arrived at the training ground, Bill Lamb was leading the players in warm-up exercises. Looking at Bill Lamb's meticulous appearance, Zhuang Fei admired him from the bottom of his heart. Bill Lamb was not an excellent scout, but he was an excellent coach. On the data sheet of the Dynasty system, Bill Lamb's coaching ability reached 91, and his physical training ability even reached 95. The reason why Bill Lamb could never find excellent players in the scout position was that his "judging player potential" was too low, only 47, and his judging player ability was also only 55. It can be said that Bill Lamb is an extremely excellent coach and an extremely amateur scout. Another thing that made Zhuang Fei worried was that Bill Lamb had a very high prestige in the team, which was absolutely not because of his seniority.

  In the "Player Relationships" section, a message appears that reads "Respected Person Bill Lambourne (100)". Among these people is team captain Tim Duncan.

  "Raja, is that young man our head coach?" Woli - Szczepanek was the last to report to the team, and among these newcomers, only he had not seen Zhuang Fei.

  "That's right, young, I was also scared when I first came, heard that he is only 25 years old, previously our team's assistant coach, after Coach Odum resigned, he temporarily took over as the head coach" Ragabele said with emotion.

  "This is also a bit too young, I don't know how capable he is" Wolli-Szebiak said with some concern. Unlike Lagabele, who was unknown after high school and considered it a blessing to be able to come to Viksund Forest, Wolli-Szebiak didn't care about the age of the head coach of Viksund Forest. He had some fame in high school and received invitations from mid-level teams and even some top teams. He had requirements for the team's performance and reputation, and his current goal was already locked on the NBA. He hoped to achieve good results in college and pave the way for entering the NBA. In a sense, he was similar to Teri, but with less fame and fewer choices. Wolli-Szebiak chose to reject those mid-level teams because of Viksund Forest's 16th place finish last season, but the team's head coach was too young, which made him doubt and secretly wonder if coming to Viksund Forest was a wrong choice.

  "Those two little guys over there, whispering and boosting each other's morale, good training." The secret exchange between the two was soon discovered by Bill Lanbo.

  "Bill is still an iron-faced teacher after all." Zhuang Fei said with a smile, having also seen the scene.

  "Yes, think back to when Tim first joined the team and was still a clumsy big guy who couldn't do anything. In just two years, Tim has become one of the best inside players in the NCAA, and Bill has made the biggest contribution to this." Mark Allen also praised Bill Laimbeer.

  "No wonder Duncan's respect for Bill Lamb is as high as 100." Zhuang Fei nodded silently.

  "Alright, that's enough training for today, everyone gather around." Bill Lambo saw Zhuang Fei and Mark Allen had both arrived, so he immediately stopped the players from continuing their training.

  In no time, nine players stood in two rows in front of Zhuang Fei, including the four new freshmen who joined this year. The four were standing in the first row.

  "Everyone's spirit is great, I'm very happy. Now there are many new people in the team, everyone should get along with each other, help each other out. Tim, you're the team captain, you need to help these new people a bit more."

  Duncan, who was standing in the middle of the second row, nodded and said "I know".

  Duncan finished speaking, and Zhuang Fei continued: "Today is the first day of our joint training, and it's also the first lesson of the new season. Here, I need to explain our goals for this season, and my requirements for all of you."

  "First of all, our goal for this season is clear to the old players. We have only one goal, and that's the championship, the NCAA championship, and defending the ACC league championship." Zhuang Fei continued without noticing the newcomers' surprised expressions.

  "Once again, I have a requirement for everyone. This season, I will be very strict in training you all. How strict the training will be, you will know soon. If you can't bear my training, you can leave the basketball team or transfer schools. I won't stop you."

  "Finally, as I said earlier, my goal for this season is the championship. If any of you do something that hinders me from achieving my goal, don't blame me for doing something out of line. As for what kind of out-of-line things I will do, you can try to find out," Zhuang Fei said with a smile after finishing his last sentence, and the players in front of him felt a chill run down their spines, not even daring to breathe loudly.

  "Is this coach crazy?" Wally Szczerbiak thought to himself, once again having second thoughts.

  "Alright, don't mind what I said too much. Just follow my orders and nothing will go wrong. You all can continue with your training, dismissed."

  .........

  .........

  "Zhuang, you, are you really going to play the triangle offense in the new season?" Bill Lamb looked at Zhuang Fei with a shocked face beside the court.

  "That's right, Bill, so I need your help," Zhuang Fei said sincerely to Bill Lamb.

  "Help? My help? I'm not exactly a tactical genius, if you need help, go ask Mark, he's the tactics master" Bill Lambourne retorted with a hint of annoyance after a brief moment of shock. He was clearly unimpressed by this new head coach who didn't trust him and had vetoed all his key player recommendations.

  "I know Mark is very skilled in tactical training, but the triangular offense isn't just about making players understand tactics, they also need a technical foundation. To be honest, Carter, Posey, Lagabere and Wolli-Szekely's passing is terrible. I need you to make major changes to them. Now the team can only rely on you to help me."

  Bill Randle closed his eyes after hearing Zhu Fei's words, he was considering. But in Zhu Fei's heart, he was drumming continuously. Bill Randle's 90-point attack training was the biggest guarantee that Zhu Fei had confidence to let Carter and others quickly grasp how to pass the ball and attack. However, Zhu Fei knew that Bill Randle had opinions about him, if at this time Bill Randle was in a bad mood with him, he also had no way.

  "Alright, Zhong, what do you need me to do?" Bill Lanbo finally agreed.

  Zhuang Fei heard Bill Rambo agree, and immediately said out his training plan, making Mark Allen standing next to him stare in amazement.

  "Zhuang, you, this training course is too much", Bill Lambore regretted agreeing with Zhuang Fei.

  "No, Bill, we don't have much time left. The new season starts in early November and it's already September now. We only have two months' time, so we must use devil training to serve them now. I just told them that my training will be very strict. If they can't hold on, I'll deal with it. But I need your guarantee, can you two train them into shape within two months?"

  Mark Allen and Bill Lamb nodded firmly after a moment of silence.

  "Great job, Bill and Mark. You guys have worked hard, I believe our team's performance in the future will not let your efforts go to waste."

  The devil training is not like Zhuang Fei said, the training must have scientific arrangement and guidance. Zhuang Fei said it's easy, but Mark Allen and Bill Lamb are not that easy to do. First of all, time-wise, these players are students, they have limited time. Secondly, the training method must be scientific, Mark Allen and Bill Lamb also need to re-formulate the training method.

  But these things, Zhuang Fei can't control at all, he wants to control but has no way to start, his training ability is really not as good as Mark Allen and Bill Lamb.
