Add one, I'm not very good at fighting

Although there are many villains in this team now, they basically have brains.

Unlike Artest, who is good at food and loves to pretend.

O'Neill, Wu Sheng, Haslem, and Raja Bell all belong to the kind of people who are not afraid of trouble but don't make trouble.

Li Ang felt that with his character, he should be able to hold them down.

The team's lineup is almost complete, and now, the only thing missing is a head coach.

These days, Li Ang has been watching the news from Mavericks.

What are you looking at?Let's see if old Nelson resigns.

After all, the appearance of the Galaxy Battleship will make the five sets of singles tactics of the young general Johnson shine.

What if, in this history, old Nelson resigned a year early?

However, the goose waited for a long time, but the Mavericks were happy and peaceful.

At this point, Colangelo was left with one last possible attempt.

After getting the roster figured out, Colangelo flew to Houston.

Although the possibility is not high, this is his last chance.

20 kilometers west of downtown Houston, a wealthy residential area on the Oak River.

Surrounded by small rivers, it is very peaceful.

Such an environment is simply perfect for Rudy Tomjanovich who is recuperating at home at this time.

When Colangelo met Tomjanovich, he seemed in good spirits and seemed to be recuperating well in the past six months.

Last week, the media reported that Tomjanovich's body had fully recovered and there were no cancer cells.

The day before yesterday, Tomjanovich had a general physical examination, and everything was normal.

Rudy also seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and watering his own flowers.

"How is your father?" Rudy, wearing glasses, asked Brian Colangelo after watering the flowers.

Little Colangelo's father Jerry Colangelo, like Tomjanovich, suffered from prostate cancer not long ago.

This old acquaintance is really in the same boat.

In fact, there are quite a few coaches with sickness in the NBA, and old Nelson also has this problem.Every game he has to hide a urine bag in his trouser leg in case of sudden incontinence during the game.

"My dad is recovering well, he's in good health."

"That's good, that's good... You did a great job this summer, and the Suns suddenly have a lot of talent."

"Yeah, that's why I came to you. I hope you can lead this Suns team to the championship!" Colangelo didn't hide anymore.

Rudy didn't seem shocked by what Colangelo Jr. said. He already knew the purpose of Colangelo Jr.'s visit.

Before Tomjanovich could answer, his wife went out to the balcony with afternoon tea snacks: "Let's eat something."

"Thank you, Sophie." Tomjanovich looked at his wife tenderly. Although they had been together for 30 years, it could be seen that the relationship between the old couple was still very good.

"Ask your father to come here if you have time, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Sophie put down her snack, and greeted little Colangelo again.

Colangelo Jr. nodded restrainedly, hands resting nervously on his knees.

The feeling of being a guest at an elder's house made him forget that he was here to recruit.

"Where did we just talk? Oh yes, the Suns now have a lot of talented players. I also believe that your team has the strength to compete for the championship. After all, you have the finals MVP last season. I know Li Ang , I am very impressed with him. But unfortunately, I may have to reject you."

"But your body has recovered, hasn't it?"

"My physical problems are not limited to that one. Over the past so many years of working day and night, my body has been destroyed long ago.

Being the head coach of the NBA means that life is no longer regular, with high ideological pressure and mood swings, which are not good for cancer recovery patients.I don't want to take a risk because it's not fair to my family, and I don't want the team to be affected by hiring a sick coach.

Also, I am enjoying my family life very much now.When I was the head coach, I ran around all day and didn't have time for my family at all.

And now, I can spend every day with my wife.I enjoy this life, Brian, I hope you understand. "

A passage from Tomjanovich made Colangelo not even know what to say.

Tomjanovich now gives people a feeling of wanting nothing, not eating fireworks.

He just wants to eat snacks and water the flowers at home with peace of mind, and he doesn't want to join the disputes in the NBA.

Even to go back, not now.

After that, neither of them talked about work anymore.Colangelo left without dinner and returned to his hotel in Houston.

After Colangelo left, Tomjanovich looked at the bunch of roses he had planted and touched his chest.

basketball?

It's been a long time since I left basketball.

At noon the next day, Tomjanovich received another call.

He also thought that Colangelo was going to pay a second visit to the thatched cottage.

It turned out that the voice on the phone was not Colangelo's.

That afternoon, he saw the young man who called him.

Stronger than he imagined.

"Li, I really didn't expect you to visit in person."

It was the same balcony as yesterday, and the same dim sum.

Only today, the person sitting opposite Tomjanovich became Li Ang.

After learning that Colangelo's lobbying failed, Li Ang rushed to Houston and decided to meet Master Tang in person.

Because right now, Tomjanovich is the most suitable candidate!

Who is Master Tang?He is a coach with both chicken soup and strength.

In terms of tactical training, Tomjanovich was able to lead Mosaic to counterattack in the playoffs, which was inseparable from his scheduling.

In that era when no one paid attention to three-pointers, Tomjanovich chose to go slanted.

In the 93-94 season, Mosaic averaged 15.7 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league. In the 94-95 season, Mosaic averaged 21.4 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league. It was also the only team that averaged more than 20 three-pointers per game that season.

Although this number of three-pointers seems nothing now, in the early 90s, it was definitely quite different.

Olajuwon also relied on Tang Shuai's one-star shooting to lead Mosaic to two consecutive championships during Jordan's retirement.

There are a lot of small keyboards to say: that is, they can win the championship without Jordan, so there is nothing arrogant about it.

If Jordan is not here, everyone has the same chance to win the championship. Why don't Malone and Barkley also win one.

But if you think that Master Tang can only play one star and four shots, you are very wrong. In the original history, when Tang Shuai coached the Lakers for a short time, he led the Lakers to play a pure triangle offense.

Because he worked with the founder of the triangle offense, Winter, so the triangle offense is also at his fingertips.

In short, Master Tang's tactical reserves are very rich, unlike D'Antoni who has a fresh move, and is not as paranoid as Larry Brown.

He will use them according to the characteristics of the players themselves to formulate tactics.

He can play any trick.

Players who play under Tang Shuai are not unhappy.

When Francis and Yao Ming played under him, it was simply too much fun.

Yao Ming once said bluntly: "If my coach was Van Gundy from the beginning, I might choose to retire after playing for one year."

There is no problem in formulating tactics, and Tomjanovich is not bad in terms of on-the-spot command.

During Mosaic's two consecutive championships, he rarely pulled his hips at critical moments, which is enough to see his on-the-spot scheduling ability.

Beyond that, Tomjanovich is a veritable master of chicken soup.

He knows how to encourage his players, how to make young people want to win.

Can't make chicken soup, can you call him Master Tang?

If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it may be that Tang Shuai's personality is too gentle and his attitude towards players is not tough enough.

He doesn't even force his players to train.

Belongs to free-range.

O'Neill was crying, well, he is willing to pay the price of Malone's life for a coach like Master Tang who doesn't force players to train.

Malone:? ? ?

As soon as you became a teammate, you wanted my life! ?

Therefore, Tang Shuai's team should not have people who are against him, and there must be no thorns.

Otherwise, he might not be able to suppress him because he is too gentle.

But the sun has no thorns. Li Ang felt that including himself, everyone on the Suns team counted as one, and they were all good boys with excellent character and learning!

Wu Sheng: That's right, like I can't even use a gun.I will only rush to the audience to help the fans who accidentally slipped and fell.

To sum up, Tang Shuai is the most suitable person for the Suns at this stage.

With his level, there is definitely a way to knead everyone together and bring out everyone's characteristics.

So after knowing that Colangelo's lobbying failed, Li Ang decided to pay a visit in person, and he must not let this opportunity go easily.

Master Tang's first impression to Li Ang was that he was very elegant.

Speech and behavior are very elegant and decent.

The speech is not particularly loud, but sonorous and powerful.

"Rudy, I heard that the roses you plant are all named after players." After sitting down, Li Ang didn't directly talk about work, but chatted about the master's current interests.

Sure enough, when Li Ang commented on the roses he planted, the master smiled: "How do you know everything?"

"Hey, after all, I'm the head of the Suns team...I heard about it too."

Li Ang waved his hand. Master likes to name the roses he planted with players' names, which Li Ang saw on the Internet in his previous life.

It is said that at that time, the master raised the two tallest roses, and he named one Yao and the other Ming.

"Planting flowers and picking players' names, it seems that you still can't forget the glorious years back then."

"A few years later, can you forget your experience of winning the championship with the Pistons?"

"will not."

"That's right, which man can forget this."

"Yeah, after all, basketball and championships have given me a rich life. Oh, I don't mean money, I mean things that are more valuable than money. For example, unforgettable experiences and friends who fought side by side. Before playing basketball, I No brothers. But now, I have many."

As Li Ang said, he smiled, thinking of the Bad Boys Legion, Carter McGrady, and Francis.

"If I like to grow flowers in the future, I guess I will also name them my teammates."

Li Ang had already made up his mind, and the tallest flower was called Big Ben.

It fits his temperament.

"Li, is your goal this year a championship?" After talking, Tomjanovich took the initiative to bring the topic to basketball.

"of course."

"But your opponents are all strong, and the West is full of difficulties."

"I know, but I have a desire in my heart, and I believe in myself from the beginning to the end. What is there to remember about a champion who has not experienced hardships? We need your help, Rudy." Li Ang went down the donkey, An invitation was also extended to Tomjanovich.

"Hahaha, my current life..."

"But you still have basketball in your heart. When you look at this rose every day, and these flowers named after players, you always think of the pictures of those years. Olajuwon, Kenny Smith, Robert Huo Li, Drexler...you still want to go back to that time.

You still want to create new glories!

You are just scruples, but you don't have to be scruples, because the Suns have the best medical team.Not only sports surgery is developed, but our medical team is top-notch in every field.As I'm sure you know, Colangelo Sr. is recovering fairly well in Phoenix.

In Phoenix, you can work and enjoy the Arizona climate while receiving the very best in rehab.It's also not like New York or Los Angeles, where you will be under too much mental pressure.

Me and my teammates will not let you down, we will definitely be able to break through the siege, and I will definitely lead by example.

Indeed, on paper, we are not the strongest team.The Lakers have four superstars, and the Mavericks' entire starting lineup is an All-Star.But you told me, never underestimate the heart of a champion!

When I came to Phoenix, I went for the championship!
