NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

"Haha, I think he can win the lottery. He has long wanted to go on a business trip today."

As soon as the Knicks' new head coach came out.

Instantly stunned a bunch of people, and several coaches of similar age smoked lonely cigarettes almost at the same time.

And the high-level executives in the circle headed by Warriors president Larry Wright didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this kid's gourd. Obviously, so many people under their command applied for the job, but they didn't choose it.

Downey Jr. tweeted:

"Very happy to be working with this like-minded head coach, hope you won't let us down @Stevens."

D'Antoni was off work, and was called by a reporter to make a noise:

"New York welcomes you, Coach Stevens, I will try my best to assist you and make you a qualified head coach."

He is considered to be the biggest name in the teaching assistant team now, and now it seems that with this military adviser, he won't be so bad.

Dolan's gang was a little bit restless, and the Knicks players stopped talking, because they didn't understand this coach at all.

None of them came from Butler University. They only knew that Jiang Chao had made a recruitment that no one expected, and now they could only silently watch the changes.

Players such as Duhon, David Lee, and Eddie Curry think it's okay. They really can't break anything, and there is no new force. The old tactics in the NBA should not be suitable for the Knicks.

The Knicks must teach students according to their aptitude. There is no superstar with outstanding singles ability.

And only young coaches will have time to slowly study everyone's style.

.......

midnight.

Jiang Chao took a nap at Stevens' home for 2 hours.

He has a super cute little daughter who has been chasing Jiang Chao and calling her brother and brother, and even gave Jiang Chao toys.

And Stevens simply packed his luggage, and his family will help him express the large luggage to New York.

Because Jiang Chao wanted to take him to Texas late at night, he will be on his first business trip as the head coach of the Knicks tonight.

"You can go home for a while after this business trip. It's fine. There's nothing to do before the draft." Jiang Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"I am now your employee, boss, and I will follow any arrangement you make."

The atmosphere in the young marshal's home is very happy, and he greeted Jiang Chao, a leader who came from afar, for a while.

Just kidding, the contract of nearly 1000 million is still for 5 years, so the future will be bright!

The wife and children have this kind of funds, and moving to New York in the future will not be a problem. Everyone yearns for a big city.

The ones who are really reluctant are the college players and fans of Indiana. The young coach can no longer accompany them, and Stevens also expressed his apology with tears in his eyes.

It was agreed to bring a champion to the hometown, but it may not be realized.

Jiang Chao destroyed the somewhat depressing atmosphere at the school gate like this:

"Don't worry, Bird Bird will bring you a championship."

......

"Mrs. Stevens, little one, come to New York to play."

Jiang Chao and the little girl shook hands. They are the biggest factor in whether Coach Stevens is loyal to the Knicks.

Pillow wind works better than anything.

"Mr. Jiang Chao, thank you!"

The Stevens family bid farewell to the two late at night.

Indiana International Airport.

Waiting for a red-eye flight to San Antonio, the two talked about the future in the VIP lounge.

Coach Stevens asked a lot of technical questions.

For example, whether he wants to "bring capital into the group".

That is, as Carlisle said before, form your own teaching assistant team.

This may require some personnel appointment rights, which means that other coaches except D'Antoni, the coach consultant, will be selected by him.

When Stevens felt that Jiang Chao agreed 100%.

Jiang Chao rarely shook his head:

"Young commander, I will help you match the assistants. Of course, it's okay to have 1-3 assistants you particularly want."

"Okay, thank you boss."

Stevens nodded, he was now completely convinced of the boss.

In fact, this can be regarded as the power between the general manager and the head coach. Generally, the big coaches have the power to match the coaching staff, and even the choice of players can be said. For example, just now Carlisle and the even better Popovich, Zen master and others, the general manager provides candidates, and the ones they approve are really usable.

Stevens thought that Jiang Chao would easily give him the right to appoint this personnel, but it is obvious that Jiang Chao knows football better than anyone else.

Did Jiang Chao have a "lesson from the past", okay? Later Nets broke up with coach Kidd because Kidd wanted this power.

Later, Kidd went to the Bucks and got the right to appoint personnel. According to his own plan, he created a bunch of long-handed monsters to build a long-handed alliance. But in the end, the Greek monster Antetokounmpo came out. The long-handed family didn't make it out.

Of course, Stevens is only asking for the right to appoint a coach, and Jiang Chao will still give some:

"You first find a few useful head coach assistants yourself. I have someone to choose as an assistant coach. They are cheap and easy to use."

"Boss, if you say that, I'm looking forward to it!"

Stevens, who knows Jiang Chao's vision, is already looking forward to what assistant lineup Jiang Chao will match him with.

"Maybe this trip to the Holy City will help you find one."

Chapter 46: Bird Bird

Jiang Chao touched his chin, making it impossible for Stevens to see what he was thinking.

Did you say he was thinking of Popovich as an assistant coach for the Knicks? It is indeed something that young upstarts would think about.

But the facts proved that he was not a crazy boss who was playing around for a while. After a few hours of getting along with him, Stevens knew that Jiang Chao was definitely referring to someone else.

Does the holy city of San Antonio have so much wool to gather?

He is now looking forward to this business trip with his boss more and more.

Because the teaching assistant is a temporary idea.

The intention is to find a general manager for the team, isn't it? ?

Forget it, never mind, first study the team lineup.

Stevens quickly downloaded the Knicks lineup and videos of several losses from last season to his computer, ready to watch them on the plane.

Jiang Chao, who bought a sleep mask, waved his hand directly:

"Don't look, not many people will stay here."

"what?"

"You first study the players I'm sure you want to pick, such as Curry, and get a thorough understanding of his style of play and goals for improvement. You can think about the others after the draft is over."

Stevens is full of black lines, so when you recruited me, you said that the head coach must prepare in advance, you are fooling me!

But this reveals that Jiang Chao's draft conference is about to make big trades?

hiss!

The task is arduous. If the team has many rookies, it is actually difficult to achieve results.

"ESPN reporters reported that in G10 of the NBA Finals that ended at 2 o'clock tonight, the Magic narrowly lost to the Lakers, trailing 0-2 by a big score...Controversial penalties at the last moment aroused public opinion..."

At this moment, today's sports news is playing on the big LED screen.

The two Knicks insiders were all attracted by the sound and looked over.

Stevens clapped his hands: "Doesn't this interfere with the ball!! The referee don't lick the Lakers!"

Jiang Chao dreamed of returning to the past, because tonight Courtney Lee's 0.6-second lore was interfered by Gasol's touch frame, and the referee didn't blow it, which directly led to a different direction for the entire series.

As expected, the picture of Gasol touching the frame will be on the pages of all major newspapers tomorrow morning.

In the East, we all hope that the Eastern Conference champions will overthrow the Western Conference champions.

The two high-level fans who are essentially fans discussed it.

Stevens: "This game is worth studying. In fact, I think the Magic will lose in G1. Alston played well. Why change him?"

Jiang Chao: "Let's make way for Nelson, the injury will be healed before he recovers, can it work?"

"Haha, I've seen the top ten shots, all of which are super difficult lobs he gave to Warcraft."

"Behind every super lob there's an idiot passer. The Magic backline sucks. This rookie Courtney Lee isn't good enough."

"Yes, I can't stand Kobe."

"Courtney Lee is the life of the trade."

"No, it can be developed."

"Look, the Magic will make a comeback next season, they can't wait."

Jiang Chao's words later became a proverb, and he was regarded as a god-man by the young commander.

Because 12 days after the Magic's defeat in the Finals, Courtney Lee was replaced by the Magic management for Vincent Carter, who is also the top four shooting guards.

And then the fate of this old man is not very good. It is not a good thing to play well but not particularly well. This is destined to wander here and there.

I have never stayed in a team for 3 years, and I have changed 8 jerseys, which is also embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao couldn't help thinking about the future of his team.

An old team, one person, one city, this is what he hopes his young people can do in the future.

But if there is such a day, as the boss, will he be merciful?

This may also be a major issue before him in the future.

"In other words, I must be based on defense in the future, and I will not simply run and bomb like Mr. D'Antoni."

"Well, defense wins championships, and I'll match you with both offense and defense."

There is not much concept of 3D in this era, but Jiang Chao will definitely come up with a few good 3D, and it is too fragrant to be paired with a point guard like Curry.

It's just that the other Buddha of Splash will take 11 years to be drafted, and I don't know if he can also come over by then.

The two chatted about basketball like close friends while boarding the plane.

A red-eye flight takes off.

Outside the window, starlight flows into a river.

Inside the window, Jiang Chao and Stevens were sound asleep.

……

the next morning.

A streamlined green Maserati supercar appeared at the gate of Butler University with a roaring exhaust.

A bunch of students and security guards were talking about it.

Once again, Butler University welcomes a distinguished guest!

Walking down was a tall golden-haired lion-like man, dressed in a blue suit, and his exploding blond hair was particularly dazzling in the sun.

"Where's Jiang Chao?? Tell him to come out and meet me!"

He is wearing golden sunglasses, and his height of nearly 2 meters is full of pressure.

hiss!

This is the true homegrown superstar in Indiana!

There is no child who does not know this big guy, Indiana-born super basketball superstar, Bird Bird!

Compared with Larry Bird's reputation in his hometown, the status of the young marshal can only be a little finger.

Hayward and other school team members rushed out without even brushing their teeth.

It's been a great couple of days.
