Chapter 106 Change Your Mind
A three-pointer was hit, SkyOcean made a sideline lore, and Kings Avenue won the Northern California Community Basketball Tournament championship.

In the gymnasium, the fans of the home team lost their voices, but then began to applaud and cheer again. Tianyang's performance completely conquered them.

The Oakland Warriors were still in a state of confusion, until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Dirac and Bond didn't react.

One of them was standing under the basket and the other was standing at the free throw line on the left side, both holding their heads, with pained expressions and bewildered.

Robert on the sidelines slammed the tactical board on the ground and walked away.

Seeing this scene, Cole grinned, he could understand Robert's feelings very well.

As a coach, there is nothing more painful than losing a team because of your own misjudgment.

However, that was also because Tianyang was ruthless enough. First, he pretended to grab 3 points to trick the defender away from the sideline, and then pretended to attack the basket to grab two points, diverting everyone's attention to the basket, but in the end he still grabbed the basket. With 3 points, Cole was deceived, and it is normal for Robert to look away.

One plan after another, the key is that there is only 5 seconds to serve, any accident may cause the plan to fail.Tianyang dared to block and act, which made the Oakland Warriors hard to defend.So Cole's praise blurted out, master tactician!
Such an evaluation made Curry, Thompson, Jimmy, and Bob beside him all raise their eyebrows. After getting along with Cole for a year, the four of them all know that he is a person who is "not talking but extremely proud". It is not easy to get his high praise.

The four hadn't responded yet, and Cole said again: "I changed my mind! I want to invite him to join the coaching staff as an assistant player development coach!".

Cole's tone was serious, his appearance was dignified, and his eyes were firm. The four immediately understood that he was serious!

"Why?" Curry asked curiously, and Thompson, Jimmy, and the three nodded.

"Since we entered the arena, Tianyang called a timeout twice, and each time received good results. Maybe his basic skills are relatively poor, but I saw a terrible talent in him. The arrangement of the ball just now, I don't know Unexpectedly, even thinking about it, he dared not do that. In addition, his understanding of three-pointers is extremely good, and he is a perfect match with our team!"

"No matter what I hear, I feel that you want to find an apprentice..."

"Well, I admit that I am a little selfish, but don't worry, I will still interview and assess him."

"Then don't wait, take advantage of the awards and leave a contact information to discuss in detail!"

The Northern California Community Basketball Tournament is jointly organized by the Ryan Group and the Golden State Warriors.

As for the championship prize, the Ryan Group will reward 5 US dollars, and the Golden State Warriors will reward each member of the championship team with 3 playoff tickets, except for the optional position on the sidelines, which is very valuable.

There was originally a trophy, but the trophy was engraved with the names of the five Oakland Warriors in advance, so it could not be taken out again. The representative of the Ryan Group also looked embarrassed when he handed out the bonus.

The three of Cole chatted with Tianyang for a while, left their contact information, and were about to leave, but the shouts of the fans in the stadium stopped the three of them again.

"One-on-one, Jaylen, one-on-one with him!"

At this time, Jaylen Brown was also full of fighting spirit, and his previous depressed mood was swept away. At first he thought Tianyang was a drinking fountain player on the Stanford school team, but judging from the performance in the last minute and a half, Tianyang's strength It may hinder the road to "March Madness" in your own school.

He looked at Tianyang and the others. In addition to the strong fighting spirit in their eyes, he also saw the expressions of interest on the three of Cole's people. By the way, they can perform in front of the first team in the league's backcourt and earn a lot of money. sent!
Determined to pay attention, he got up and walked towards Tianyang, and said, "It seems that you also want to single out?"

"En!" Tianyang nodded.

"You were injured just now, so I temporarily changed my focus. We only played 3 balls and wanted to get to know each other. What do you think?"

Tianyang has not yet responded, Curry interjected: "Don't underestimate this guy, he just hit a lore shot, and he is in good shape!"

"No, absolutely not!" Jaylen Brown waved his hand hastily, "He was personally invited by the head coach of the Stanford Sequoias to join us. This confrontation between us is a warm-up. The real matchup will be in the NCAA competition!"

It's simple to say, but Jaylen Brown has already made up his mind in his heart that he will use his best ability to give Tianyang a blow.

Unexpectedly, when Curry heard the words, he turned around and shouted at Cole: "Then directly participate in the draft!"

The subtext tells Kerr "Don't make him an assistant coach!"

Cole was taken aback. He didn't expect Tianyang to join the Stanford school team and has become a NCAA Division I player. The assistant coach is still a bit troublesome.

But it is not suitable to discuss this matter now, Cole signaled to leave him alone, and let Tianyang and Jaylen Brown continue.

"Then come on, 3 balls!" Tian Ya beckoned

After finishing speaking, he walked to the free throw line, the two played rock-paper-scissors, and Jaylen Brown went first.

Jaylen Brown took the ball and put it on his waist, bowed his back straight, with his right foot as the axis, and set up a standard three-threat posture.

Considering that there was no pass, Tianyang bent his legs slightly and raised his right hand high, intending to prevent both breakthroughs and shots.

Unexpectedly, Jaylen Brown didn't even look at it, he leaned close and easily broke through from the left.Tianyang turned around and chased after him. Although he caught up, Jaylen Brown raised his right hand and separated him directly.

In the transition between offense and defense, Tianyang took the ball and made a shot, but Jaylen Brown didn't move at all.

In desperation, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the right, and Jaylen Brown moved his feet to follow comfortably.

Tianyang accelerated, and Jaylen Brown also accelerated, Tianyang stopped suddenly, and Jaylen Brown braked immediately.

Unable to get the ball out, forcing a three-point shot is equivalent to sending the ball, Tianyang gritted his teeth and held the ball with both hands, striding forward.

Faced with a three-step layup, Jaylen Brown followed Tianyang's pace easily and happily, with his feet one in front of the other.

Between offense and defense, Jaylen Brown showed absolute dominance, after all, the top three players in the future draft!
Just when everyone thought that Tianyang would not get a point, he canceled the third step, took off directly with one foot, and threw the ball to hit the board.

Jaylen Brown also had a take-off block, but it happened suddenly. The take-off action was more confusing than the emergency stop to collect the ball. His block failed and the basketball rebounded into the frame.

"He still underestimated Tianyang!" Curry said with a smile.

Perhaps Jaylen Brown also realized this. In the subsequent round, he used his physical advantage to score directly on offense; on defense, as soon as Tianyang received the ball, he immediately locked it close.

With two goals in a row, Jaylen Brown won the heads-up victory.

……

"Coach, after seeing the performance just now, will you change your mind? He was blown away by Jaylen Brown!" Curry asked casually after leaving the stadium.

"No, he was blown away by Jaylen Brown, but it made me more determined to invite him to join the coaching staff."

"How?" Clay didn't understand.

"What the coach means is that Tianyang can't be an excellent player, but it can be an excellent coach."

……

In a mansion in Los Angeles, Jim Bass was watching a video while drinking away his sorrows.

A few years ago, he once boasted that he would return to the Western Conference Finals within a year, but he was ridiculed by family members, forcing him to change his words and say that it would take three years.

For this reason, in the free market in the past few years, he and Kubchak have pursued Durant, DeRozan, Whiteside, Horford, Cousins, Love, Butler, and Aldridge.

But in the end, only Louis Williams, Bass, Hibbert and other players who filled the "poor man's line" were brought in, and they were accused of spending money indiscriminately and signing a bunch of rubbish contracts.

Year after year, the Lakers still have no chance of making the playoffs this season, and Kobe will retire this year.

According to the original agreement, if there is no improvement in three years, he will hand over his power.

Now that the time is almost up, his position in the Lakers management is getting more and more awkward, and his power is being gradually emptied by his sister Jenny-Buss.

"FXXK, accuse me of wasting money all day long, why is a fan rewarded $9 for scoring a halftime field goal? Isn't $9 much?"

"It's fine if the big-name players don't come, I'll pick and train rookies myself! I'll let the scouts of the new recruits go to investigate tomorrow!"

"Mitch, I've changed my mind. Let's pay more attention to this year's rookies?"
