Chapter 469 You are my brother, you are my father

Chapter 468 You Are My Brother, You Are My Grandfather
Brad Rohaus laughed a few times, and before Louis could speak, he began to show his loyalty.

"Coach, if there is anything I need to do, just tell me directly, and I promise not to compromise, and everything will be done, no matter whether you go to the sky to catch stars or go to sea to catch turtles..."

"Stop giving me nonsense!"

Judging from his appearance, Luo Haosi should be the kind of old-fashioned white man with a tough appearance and a mean face, with a faint shadow of Danny Angie in his expression.

However, Louis did not see any temperament related to Angie in him.

This really doesn't match his appearance.

People can't help but think of when Niu Guli, the world's number one top laner, came to FPX. Judging from his appearance and the other party's past external speech records, he thought Lin Weixiang was a senior of the dark department, but it turned out to be a funny comparison.

Louis said to Rohaus: "We still have a center player who is not in place, so for a while in the future, you will be an important substitute. If you perform well, maybe I will let you sit in that position. If you do not perform well, wait until another substitute returns, and you will have some competition."

"Coach, I am your most loyal fighter. I will be whatever position you say I am. No matter what you ask me to do, I will not complain!" Luo Haosi said enthusiastically.

When Zhao Yuanzheng suggested that Louis choose Rohaus, he said that he is a player with leadership qualities, a seven-foot height and a defender's heart.

Rohaus is very against the times, he likes to shoot from a long-range position, and often makes his college coach feel that God gave him an extra 20 centimeters in height.

Every time he took an undisciplined shot from 20 feet (6 meters), the home fans booed their displeasure, and gradually it became an interesting phenomenon.Fans love it, and Rohaus himself has no respect for it.

Louis looked at his shooting percentage and thought it was okay, so he chose it.

Nowadays, there is no concept of space-type insiders. Many old coaches regard Rohaus as a demonic existence, but Louis feels that he is scarce.

After all, there are too few full-time insiders now.

If in some extreme situations in the future, he needs to rely on the 5out lineup to create the ultimate space, Rohaus is an option.

The premise is that he has to practice NBA-level three-pointers.

"I know you like shooting, and I will not object to your shooting. If you know me, you should know that I encourage my players to shoot, even if you are an insider."

Luo Haosi said, "This is why I respect you so much. You are my savior, a great hero, a reborn parent, and your kindness to me..."

"stop!"

Louis has a big head, so it's a gift of reinvention wherever he goes.

"Whoever I am, you can shoot, but you have to make it. And I don't allow you to shoot long twos that don't make sense like in college. You're either dunking at the rim or shooting a [-] from the perimeter, get it?"

Louis asked angrily.

Rohaus nodded quickly: "Understood, I understand!"

"Go ahead and get used to the three-point line in the NBA."

"I will not let you down!"

Rohaus left, and Louis heaved a sigh of relief. He had never encountered such a dog-licking player.

The last similar player he coached was named Lambiel, but that vicious dog, Lambiel, licked you, and he might scold you in his heart. How could Rohaus be sincere, even if Louis threw a Frisbee in front of him, he would rush to catch it with his mouth and bring it back.

Only Billy Donovan remained.

Louis didn't choose him to help him realize his dream of playing in the NBA. He knew that he would become the coach of the Thunder in the future. For such a young man, he should be persuaded to change his ways as soon as possible. Playing basketball is a dead end.

"Billy, do you have any ideas about your future?" Louie asked.

Donovan replied: "Coach, I want to gain a foothold in the NBA."

"Okay, good ambition." Louis asked, "What if it fails?"

Donovan hesitated and said, "If it fails, I won't give up professional basketball. I... I may play in Europe, or somewhere else, I'm not sure."

"Playing professional basketball is not the only way to play basketball, you should know that?"

"I know."

"Well, this is our tactical manual, with a total of 400 tactics." Louie reported an astonishing number, "I need you to find out all the tactics that seem to be weak in it before the end of the training camp. And those tactics with a high degree of overlap, and those tactics that conflict with each other. If you do it, I guarantee you will have a stable position in the Knicks."

Donovan didn't expect that Louis would arrange such a strange task for him.

"Coach, why me?" Donovan thinks that's usually the job of an assistant coach.

"I'll tell you when you're done."

Didn't he consider that I might not be able to complete this...?Donovan grumbled inwardly.

Now that Louis has confessed, a second-round pick like him who doesn't even have a guarantee contract is not qualified to refuse.If you want to stay in the NBA, you must seize every opportunity to please the head coach.

So, he accepted.

Louie watched him leave with a smile. He had a plan for how to guide Donovan to give up his dream of playing basketball and switch to teaching.

Moreover, he can be said to be very familiar with Donovan.

Donovan coached the Thunder in 2016 and has two dazzling NCAA national championships on his resume.

The famous NBA players from his school include Al Horford, Noah, David Lee, Mike Miller, Corey Brewer, Chandler, Parsons, Bradley Beal, Marreese Speights...

It can be seen that he can develop any type of player.

He led the Thunder team, like speed, like the whole court press.

All the insiders under him have to run and play.

The wings under his command are all good players who are good at quick downs and comprehensive skills.

Louie's impression of Donovan -- most of it came from that Thunder team.

Donovan will not design a set of tactics and force the players to execute them.He hopes that the players will learn to read the situation by themselves, and then choose the work that they are good at and can complete the offense efficiently.

Sounds like Doug Mo's kind of happy basketball, it's not.He gives the players a fair amount of freedom, while at the same time trying to fine tune the details for each situation.For example, when Westbrook plays singles, what should other people do; when Durant moves, how should other people cooperate.

He gives players freedom, but not complete freedom.

The price the player has to pay is: concentration, the coordination of other players' movement every time the player is free to attack, and the pressure on both ends of the offense and defense. This is what he wants.

These excellent coaches are often very good assistant coaches.

Louis is not a talent addict, he does not have the idea of ​​recruiting all the talents in the world, he just wants to relax a bit.

Now he is both the general manager and the head coach. During the offseason, he fights wits and courage with the general managers of each team. During the season, he has to participate in game planning, review, lead the team in games, and adjust the mood of the players...so it is wise to assign part of the work to other people on the coaching staff.

These helpers who help him complete his work must be reliable, and they cannot behave like Sima Yi in "New Three Kingdoms" like Phil Jackson, whose ambition to usurp the throne is written all over his face.

Louis is not worried about losing his position, and Jackson must also know that Louis' position in the Knicks is as stable as a mountain and difficult to shake.

Therefore, next summer, when his contract expires, maybe he will leave, and then a position will be vacated on the coaching staff. At that time, Zhao Yuanzheng will become a more senior assistant coach, and Donovan should have figured it out.

This was Louie's plan.

On the first day of training camp, Oakley taught the rookies a lesson.

Rohaus was punched because, as an insider, he didn't want to fight and shot outside all day long.

Miller was treated like a servant.

No one cares about Donovan, his presence is too low, and he signed a non-guaranteed contract.

He may leave at any time. Oakley is a rough man with principles, and he will not embarrass such a rookie with an insecure future.

Unlike Lambiel, when Oakley beat someone, the beaten person basically couldn't resist, and didn't dare to resist.

Luo Haosi showed his true nature on the spot, "Chuck, you are my brother, you are my master, you can do whatever you say, I will never dare again!"

This vile look made Louis want to rush up and give him a kick.

⑴When S9FPX defeated the European hope G2 to win the championship, Lin Weixiang said to the French in Paris, "It's not because we played well, but because the opponent played badly."
