NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 7 Presti Head Coach

One week has passed since the appointment of Brooks as the head coach. Many things have happened during this week. The most notable one is of course that on July 1, the professional basketball club Co., Ltd. led by Clayton Bennett reached a settlement agreement with the city of Seattle in the lawsuit, and moved the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City and changed its name to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

When Lin Zuo came to Oklahoma City with the team for the first time, the most intuitive feeling was that the people here were really enthusiastic, worthy of being one of the most enthusiastic fans in the league commented by later generations. When he just got off the plane, a large number of Oklahomans held signs and shouted to welcome the arrival of the team.

Oklahoma has finally ushered in its own team. It may be a dream come true. On the night of the team's arrival, even in the middle of the night, you can still hear the cheers and joy of the Oklahomaians.

On July 7th, the summer league matchup table has been released.
July 7 at 12:19 Oklahoma City Thunder VS Miami Heat

July 7 at 13:20 Oklahoma City Thunder VS Minnesota Timberwolves

July 7th 15:21 Oklahoma City Thunder VS New Jersey Nets

The assistant handed over the match list for the summer league to Lin Zuo. When Lin Zuo saw the match list, Lin Zuo couldn't stop laughing inside.

For the Heat and the Timberwolves, one is Michael Beasley and the other is O.J. Mayo, both of whom have higher picks than Westbrook. Because on the night of the draft, Lin Zuo put down his words that Westbrook must become the MVP, which must have offended some people.With a higher pick than Westbrook, you dare not call it the MVP. You, a mere No. 4 pick, dare to say that you will be the MVP. In order to increase the topicality, the league has these two rookies and Westbrook face off.

The Nets were supposed to be the champions of the 2008 Oakland Summer League, but they actually came to the Las Vegas Summer League this time. Brook Lopez of the Nets was ahead of Westbrook in the simulation, but the reality is that Lin Zuo chose Westbrook.

"Presumably the managers and players of the league want to see my jokes now," Lin Zuo said with a smile looking at his assistant.

"Well, definitely," Troy replied with a sad face.

"Then let them laugh, and when the summer league is over, they won't be able to laugh." Lin Zuo stood up at this point, and then said, "Come on, follow me to the arena to see our future."

Originally Ford Center Stadium would be changed to Chesapeake Energy Stadium on July 2011, 7, but now, because of Lin Zuo's crossing, it was renamed on the day the Thunder was founded.

As soon as Lin Zuo arrived at the Chesapeake Energy Stadium, Brooks immediately ran over,
Before Lin Zuo could speak, he heard Brooks say: "Manager, I'm resigning, I'm very sorry, but I can't help it. My father is sick, and he needs me to come back to him."

"You can bring your father here," Lin Zuo immediately suggested,

"But the medical environment here..." Although Brooks didn't say anything later, Lin Zuo also knew his determination to leave. Lin Zuo didn't continue to persuade him to stay, but just patted him on the shoulder.

The butterfly effect brought about by myself is still continuing, I hope it will not affect the subsequent draft.

Lin Zuo walked into the stadium and watched the future of the Thunder training crazily in the stadium. Suddenly, a crazy idea came into his mind. This idea was growing crazily in Lin Zuo's mind. Lin Zuo decided not to suppress his thoughts anymore, and decided! , I will be the head coach!

Once the decision is made, Lin Zuo will not hesitate and directly gather the players who are going to participate in the summer league.

Lin Zuo looked at this group of young faces, and suddenly felt a fire burning in his heart. Such a group of such outstanding players, is there anyone in this world who understands them better than me in future generations?

Seeing the general manager just staring at them, Little Jordan couldn't help but said, "General Manager, what's the matter?"

Lin Zuo came back to his senses and said to all the players: "From today onwards, I will be your head coach."

"Ah!" As expected, all the players were very surprised when they heard this. The general manager actually wanted to be their head coach. I'm afraid he has never been an assistant coach before. Can it work?

Suddenly, the players felt that their lives were in a state of confusion.

Feeling the mood of the players, Lin Zuo said lightly: "Play according to my tactics in the summer league. If you can't win the championship, I will find you a star coach."

As soon as Lin Zuo finished speaking, it was obvious that the players' mood instantly improved. The players don't care about the summer league championship. What they care about is the star coach that Presti mentioned later.

It is now July 7th, and there is less than a week before the summer league. It is obviously impossible to expect to play exquisite coordination this week, but for these people with super physical talents, simple and rough tactics are far more effective than complex and changeable tactics.

Therefore, Lin Zuo did not rush to let them practice tactics, but first polished his own stunts in his previous life. His plan was that the team would start practicing tactics after the team arrived in Las Vegas on July 7.

In the remaining days, Lin Zuo made a training plan for everyone: Westbrook practiced zombie jumpers, Durant practiced mid-range shots and three-pointers, Jeff Green practiced defense and three-pointers, Jr. Jordan and Ibaka practiced pick-and-rolls and frame protection, Mbah a Moute practiced defense, and Dragic practiced breakthroughs and three-pointers.

Four days passed in a flash, and on July 4, the Thunder's Summer League team boarded a plane to Las Vegas.

A few hours later, the plane arrived safely in Las Vegas. When Lin Zuo led the team into the hall, in an instant, reporters swarmed in and surrounded Lin Zuo and his party.

"Hello, Presti, is this your summer league team?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Lin Zuo replied impatiently, while trying to break through the crowd.

"Hello, Presti, what is your summer league goal?"

"Champion!" Lin Zuo quickly replied

Wow! , The reporters exclaimed, obviously the reporter just now did not intend to let Lin Zuo go, "Can you say it again?"

"Champion! Champion! Champion! Do you hear me?"

Lin Zuo tried several times but failed to rush out, and gave up. He couldn't call the security guards. It's not a good thing to have a confrontation with the reporter.

Therefore, Lin Zuo said helplessly: "Our time is limited, and each person can only ask one question. I will leave after asking, OK?"

The reporter behind hurried over and asked: "Presti, last week you just laid off PJ Carlesimo and appointed someone who has never been a head coach to replace him. Do you have confidence in the new season?"

"From now on, I'm the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, next," Lin Zuo said lightly.

Wow!The exclamation this time is obviously much louder than what Lin Zuo said about the championship just now. After Presti released the ridiculous remarks on the night of the draft, it once again refreshed people's perception of Presti. This is definitely big news.

At this time, all the reporters asked Lin Zuo questions even more frantically than before.

What did the head coach do?Do you understand this tactic?How many wins in the new season?Wait, and Lin Zuo is also not afraid to answer one by one, of course ridiculous remarks are indispensable.

For example, do you know tactics - better than you!
Ever been a head coach - doing it!
What is the advantage compared with other coaches - better than other coaches!
How many wins in the new season - depends on the mood!
……

When the last reporter finished asking, Lin Zuo hurriedly took the team to the bus and headed to the hotel.

Inside the bus, the players are whispering, occasionally you can hear that the manager is funny, the manager should do comedy, etc.,

Lin Zuo stood up straight away and said, "Since everyone is so energetic, after returning to the hotel, put down your luggage and follow me to the arena to practice tactics!"

ah!Howling in the bus!
Finally, the July 7th Las Vegas Summer League arrived as scheduled, and the players were rehearsing the last tactics before the game in the arena.
