This is the opportunity Ke Yan has been waiting for for a long time, but his mood at this time is not excitement, but sadness.From the time he crossed over, he grew up under the care of Tomjanovich most of the time, and slowly gained the opportunity to show his talent.

When I went to the Rockets for an interview, I didn’t pass it, but Tomjanovich recruited me into the coaching staff. Perhaps the original intention was to better communicate with Yao Ming, but when I emerged, Tomjanovich didn’t suppress anything Instead, it gave Ke Yan a lot of opportunities to show his talents.

After practicing in the Suns, he was invited to come to the Lakers. Ke Yan was called the "third assistant coach", but he was actually the "executive assistant coach". When he was a "genius assistant", he would inevitably question Tomjanovich's "holding Kimi's thigh", but he was never displeased by it, and instead trusted Ke Yan more.

For such an old man, Ke Yan sincerely hoped that he could recover.

It was already afternoon when Ke Yan returned to Los Angeles, and he rushed to the hospital immediately to visit Tomjanovich.

The journey was a bit far, and it took about an hour to arrive. Ke Yan bought some nutritional supplements at a nearby supermarket and came to the ward.

The door of the ward was open, and there were many people standing bustling inside.After hearing the movement, the people inside turned their heads, Jim Buss, Kupchak and other Lakers staff.

"Rudy, how's the situation?" Ke Yan asked.

"The specific test results have not yet come out, but the possibility of cancer recurrence has been basically ruled out." Tomjanovich's wife Jenny said.

Luckily, there shouldn't be any danger to life.Ke Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that history has not changed because of his arrival.

Lying on the hospital bed, Tomjanovich looked at Keyan, his pale face turned bloody.

"Thank you for visiting me, Kimi. But you have more important tasks now," Tomjanovich said.

"For the team, for you, I will do my best!" Ke Yan glanced at Tomjanovich and understood what he meant, "You take a good rest, I will go back and prepare now!" Chapter 59 Take care of our Lakers ( New book upload, seeking recommendation, seeking collection, seeking follow-up reading)

He bent down and shook Tomjanovich's hand, expressing his blessing, Ke Yan turned and left.

"Take care of our Lakers!"

"Take care of our Lakers!" These words echoed in Ke Yan's mind.

Ke Yan closed the wards, and before he got into the elevator, Jim Buss chased him out and called Ke Yan.

"Kimi!" Jim Buss looked at Ke Yan, as if a drowning person grabbed a life-saving straw, "What Rudy means is that the team may be handed over to you for the time being."

To be honest, Ke Yan is not willing to discuss this topic at this time, but he also knows how serious the infighting among the top management of the Lakers is!Under Jerry Buss, there are Jim Buss and Jenny Buss who are fighting against each other, and Kupchak is waiting for the opportunity outside.Tomjanovich is considered to be a member of Jim Buss' school. If he can't inherit Jim Buss' support for Tomjanovich, then he has no chance to sit as the acting coach of the Lakers!

"Whether it is acting as the acting coach or continuing to serve as an assistant coach, I will do my best to help the Lakers." Ke Yan expressed his attitude. He is eager to become the acting head coach of the Lakers.

Jim Buss nodded: "Do it well, I will support you behind the scenes!"
