Jim Hubble rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

As a head coach, tactical arrangements, court games, and player training are his strengths; however, interpersonal relationships and dealing with people are his weaknesses, facing the media, the boss, and the players. So, the locker room problem is extremely difficult. He has no idea how to deal with it, and he has no idea of ​​taking over.

He didn't know what happened in the dressing room, what caused these contradictions, and what was going on. To be precise, he is also not interested in understanding.

In Jim's impression, the locker room issues are all left to the team captain, and the communication between the players and the players themselves is the most convenient and effective way. He can focus on the work of the coach; and those who do not know how to do the work are handed over to professionals, which is a win-win situation.

But now, things are obviously not that simple.

In a world of ruins, Jim did not drive away other coaching teams, nor did he continue to be stubborn. Instead, he asked, "If Lu Ke continues to serve as the starting quarterback, do you really think that the team's conflicts will worsen? Even if we Continue to win? "

This is an interesting way to ask questions.

Jim ’s focus is not on solving problems, but on questioning the possibility that the problem will continue to deteriorate. If he can, he will still continue to ignore the problem. It seems that after being injured, instead of carefully checking the situation and finishing the bandaging, you can stick a band-aid at will and then look forward to the wound healing automatically.

However, this is at least the beginning.

Kip opened his mouth, unsure how to answer, and he could not predict the future. "At least, the relationship between Vernon-Davis and Lu Ke has been improved." Kip can only shrug, This roundabout way explains, "You mean, you still want to choose Lu Ke as the starting quarterback?"

Jim didn't answer positively and shifted the topic, "Alix has started passing training?"

"Yes." As a quarterback coach, Kip withdrew his mind and said seriously, "It's still the impression of Alex Smith." Kip also came to San Francisco this season, but before that, Everyone in the league knows Alix, and Kip is no exception. "Short and mid-range passes are stable, technical moves are in place, and the pace is light and solid; but, long passes have not improved."

Admittedly, Alex ’s arm strength is not outstanding, and the stability of the long pass has plummeted. However, the bigger problem is that Alex has no confidence, even timid, and dare not try the long pass easily, lest he be intercepted— -But in fact, Alex's long pass attempts are too few, his interception number is always controlled at an ultra-low number, so there is no situation where too many interceptions affect confidence.

Sometimes, the existence of long pass is more to contain the power of the defensive group. If an offensive group can run the ball, short pass, or long pass, then the defensive group is naturally exhausted; but without the long-pass strike ability, the defensive group's defense can become slightly concentrated.

This is Alex's problem; it is also Lu Ke's advantage. One is steady, one is radical, both are double-edged swords, full of countless uncertainties.

Jim closed his jaw and said, "Is Alex going to conduct confrontation training today? How is his knee injured? How is he recovering?"

This remark is not about Kip, but about Mark-Uyeyama, the team's physical and strength training group lead coach. In addition to the strength training of players, they are also responsible for recovery training, rehabilitation training, etc.

"The team doctor has approved it, and Alex's injury has been restored. Then he can conduct confrontation training." Mark said clearly. "The specific situation still needs to be seen during training."

The cruciate ligament, which is one of the most vulnerable body parts of athletes. After many players return from their injuries, they are at a loss and often dare not to take actions. This requires a process; a small number of players will never be able to recover, they can live in daily life, but the game state is gone forever.

Jim gently closed his jaw, not talking, but was seriously digesting the content just now, "Kip, Craig, Lu Ke's tactical manual, have you all read it? I mean, the second week The game, our tactical arrangements are still not rich enough, the cowboy team's targeting arrangements, we are clearly insufficiently prepared. "

"Lu Ke sent me an email last night. He has watched the video of the second week of the regular season and then analyzed all tactics, as well as his own tactical errors and the tactical choices of the Cowboys." Kip The content of the words brought surprises and surprises, but when you think about it, you accept it with peace of mind. In just a few weeks, Lu Ke's consistent hard work and diligence are slowly becoming a habit.

"You also received it?" Craig showed a surprised look, but then turned into a surprise, and nodded again and again, "He doesn't look like a rookie player at all, he asked a lot of questions, tactics derived And change, some problems are stupid, and they are indeed rookie players; but some problems are genius, and they really make people shine. "

"Jesus Christ." Vic standing next to him couldn't help sighing. Everyone's eyes were focused. Vic spread his hands and shook his head. "Lu Ke also emailed me and asked me about some defensive teams. The tactical arrangement. Originally, I was watching a movie with my wife. After receiving the email, I went to the library to browse the video of the game. "

Vick is a defensive coach. His interpretation and understanding of defense is naturally different. Lu Ke not only interpreted the game from the perspective of the offensive group, but also tried to interpret the tactical arrangement of the defensive group.

"You mean, did he understand the tactical manual? I mean, all!" Jim interrupted the three coaches' communication, widened his eyes, and emphasized his problems.

For rookie players, after the draft is over, they have three months to read the tactical manual and integrate into the team; there are also four preseason games to practice specific tactics and adapt to the game. But for the unsuccessful rookie, time needs to be further compressed, probably not one third.

Entering the team as a rookie, Lu Ke and the team's running-in time is only six weeks, which means that Lu Ke has only six weeks to study the tactical manual. Even the genius, even the full score of Von Derrick's test, but the NFL's tactical manual is definitely not edible within six weeks.

In the course of the two-week competition, the choice of tactics is relatively limited, which is inevitable.

Not only did Jim ’s tactical choices have certain limitations, but Lu Ke ’s tactical changes also had the same limitations. As the season progresses, the rookie quarterback needs to mature and the tactical arrangements need to be enriched. Before other teams fully understand the 49-man offensive and defensive groups in San Francisco, they always take a step ahead and win.

"Yes, I think it's not far behind."

"He is working hard."

"At least, he works harder than me."

Three people, three answers, and different meanings, but Jim nodded meaningfully and expressed his understanding, "So, we will continue to serve as the starting quarterback with Lu Ke."

As always, Jim is an iron-fisted coach. After absorbing his opinions, he made a bold decision. There is no trace of mud and water, and there is no need to look forward. It seems that sloppy, even impulsive, is the result of careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons.

"Jim, are you sure?" Craig asked with a worried expression.

Deciding so is too fast and too eager. In the past two days, all members of the coaching staff have been thinking about this issue and discussing it, but they have not formally exchanged opinions with each other; now, they have only met for a few minutes and Jim has already made a decision ?

This……

During the offseason this year, Alex first left the team and then returned. Under the decision of the head coach and team manager, he signed with a salary of 5 million a year. In other words, the 49ers in San Francisco have signed a starting quarterback with five million. When the other side returns from injury, they have to give up the "five million" and choose to lose the rookie?

This does not seem to be a bargain. At least, Jim should think about it again. So Craig opened his mouth to raise questions.

Jim has gradually returned to calm at this time, and the blush on his cheeks has gradually returned to normal. It seems that there is no danger of explosion. "Have you heard of the Washington Redskins tactical manual routine?"

"Redskins?" Craig frowned, not knowing why Jim chose to shift the topic at this time, and even less aware of the significance of the topic.

"Yes, I have heard of it." Kip Crest spoke up, and the coaches cast their eyes. Kip simply explained, "When the rookie training camp, the Redskins chose their own feelings. Interested players, then distribute the training camp tactical manual to them, and during the interview, ask if they have read the entire tactical manual. "

"Yes, I know, we do the same. More than half of the entire team does the same." Craig shrugged carelessly. "What does this have to do with the words we are discussing now?"

Kip ’s eyes fell on his colleagues, “The difference is that they paste a hundred-dollar bill on the last page. Of course, everyone is sure to read the tactical manual, but not everyone will mention that one. A hundred-dollar bill, and then the coach of the Redskins will once again mention the hundred-dollar to see how the players react. "

The coaches suddenly realized, "This is an honest test!" Vick understood it at once, "This is a genius! It's a genius to come up with this idea!"

Because rugby is an extremely violent sport, outside the court, players will more or less encounter some problems, temper control, alcohol problems, party animals, petty theft, and so on. For the team, they naturally want their players to stay out of trouble and choose players with good moral qualities as much as possible.

As a result, the little test of the Washington Redskins immediately showed value.

"Why, the Redskins' test tested Lu Ke?" Kip asked curiously.
