NBA: I am the card dealer

Kupchak seemed to see that Xue Liancheng was dissatisfied with these candidates, and quickly asked, "What? Not satisfied?"

Xue Liancheng: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied. The main thing is that I think it may not be suitable."

Kupchak: "Oh? How do you say that?"

Xue Liancheng: "The head coach is the leader of a team. He must have a leadership role and be able to lead everyone on the right path. Therefore, I think the first quality of a head coach is communication, which is very important."

After working with Director Lu for a season, to be honest, it was really easy and he didn't feel any pressure.

This is the importance of communication.

The most important thing is that Coach Lu is very good at getting the stars to help him clean up various stalls like a housekeeper, so that he can focus all his attention on the court.

As for tactical literacy and coaching background?

Does that matter?

As long as he is here, these things can only be said to take second place.

The success in New York last season speaks for itself.

Coach Lu was originally just an assistant coach, and he had not long since switched to coaching. His tactical quality was even more ridiculous. Apart from giving the ball to him, all other tactical arrangements were empty.

However, Coach Lu has quick reactions and strong receptivity. His on-the-spot command is excellent and his judgment on the court is also very keen.

But actually these are not important.

The most important thing is that Director Lu is willing to obey. This is the key point.

Kupchak frowned and thought for a moment, "Then who do you prefer?"

Xue Liancheng: "Mike Brown."

Kupchak almost jumped up: "Who? Who are you talking about?"

Xue Liancheng repeated, "Mike Brown."

That's right.

It is the Mike Brown who is known as the Bread. He started coaching the Cavaliers in the 05-06 season and protected King James. Until the 09-10 season, due to his failure to make a breakthrough in the playoffs, he won the Bread of the Best Coach last season. , was fired directly.

This is really the first time in history.

It's unbelievable to think that the best coach was kicked off the team.

But there are traces of everything.

Because James was in a contract year at the time, he could get out of the contract and become a complete free agent after finishing that season.

In order to keep James, and also to please James, the Cavaliers made a gesture of change to show James, and then killed Brown.

After Brown left the Cavaliers, it didn't take long for him to find a job again.

That's right.

He came to Los Angeles to coach the Lakers.

He took over the shortened season of 11-12 and defeated the Nuggets 4:3 in the first round of the playoffs. In the second round, he was severely beaten by the young Thunder and was eliminated with a score of 1:4. He only coached five games in the second year. He was kicked away again.

He returned to the Cavaliers in the 13-14 season, and to his surprise, James performed a feast of hometown basketball.

Brown was immediately abandoned again.

This is the end.

Brown became unemployed and began to hang out in the assistant coaching circle, waiting for opportunities.

It wasn't until 22 years that he came out again, became the head coach of the Kings, and led the team to the playoffs, proving himself again.

In fact, Mike Brown still has something, at least he has his own understanding on the defensive end, and he is a rare defensive coach in the league.

The most important thing is that Mike Brown can get along with the players, which shows that Brown's communication skills are extremely strong.

Defense + communication, that's why he drafted Mike Brown.

The reason why Kupchak was shocked was simple: he was an old acquaintance!

Brown had a feud with the Lakers. He joined the Lakers and only played for one year before being fired. He became the fastest fired coach in the history of the Lakers. The two sides were a bit unhappy.

Now that you invite people back, doesn't this... this... this... mean you're slapping yourself?

Kupchak looked incredulous: "Xue, I know Mike Brown. It was a mess when he coached the Lakers. Why do you think he can coach the Lakers?"

Xue Liancheng answered truthfully: "He has his own defensive system and is willing to get along with the players. This is the reason."

Kupchak: "But he never proved himself."

Xue Liancheng: "When he was with the Cavaliers, he led the team to the best record in the history of the Cavaliers!"

Kupchak: "I mean the playoffs."

Xue Liancheng paused and said boldly: "I have the greatest experience in the playoffs."

of course.

He didn't say anything.

With the Lakers in such bad shape now, the playoffs may be a luxury, so why are they even thinking about it?

Kupchak was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile, "Xue, this is why I like you. Your confidence makes your whole body shine, but Brown is really not a good choice. I hope you tell the truth. You What do you like about Brown?"

Xue Liancheng grinned: "He won't refute me."

This is the greatest truth.

Hear the words.

Kupchak was stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Xue, I like your honesty, so let me talk to him."

The two ended the conversation.

And that night, news came out that Wharton would be dismissed from get out of class.

For a time, the entire Luo City was in turmoil.

"Wharton officially became the Lakers' head coach who was fired the fastest. It's really a shame!"

"What a shame, I felt unreliable when he first came up. Sure enough! But then we have to implement new tactics and start running in again. The Lakers' record is really hanging in the balance."

“I don’t know who will replace Walton?”

"No matter who comes, there is no hope for the Lakers this season."

"I really didn't expect it to be so complete. Wharton should have taken the blame a long time ago. This scourge..."

“Is this considered killing the donkey by taking advantage of George?”

"Before the season started, weren't we very affectionate? How could they fall out now?"

"How can you still be affectionate after losing so miserably?"

"One praised the other as a superstar leader, and the other praised the other as the most aggressive head coach. As a result... both of them collapsed."

"George's reputation as a superstar has been wiped out. He must have a problem with Walton!"

"I don't know if Wharton is useless or if George simply has no ability to lead a team?"

"Anyway, no matter what it is, I'm heartbroken that the Lakers are rotten to the core once again. I'm heartbroken that the Lakers sent out two second picks."

In addition to lamenting the Lakers' misfortune this season, more fans are overjoyed.

When they heard the news, they were so happy that they rushed to tell each other.

"True or not? If it's true, then I'm going to celebrate."

"This idiot Wharton should have been killed long ago."

"It's so unexpected and so joyful."

"We should have known what the problem was when we lost eight games in a row. We kept putting it off, and now we have lost four games in a row."

"Haha... today is a good day."

"Finally fired this loser."
