Legend of Tomorrow

The Lakers' poor lineup isn't the biggest problem. What's more troublesome is that they haven't decided on a head coach in August.

Byron Scott's contract is up, and no one in Los Angeles likes him. Last month, his mansion in Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles, was visited by several burglars. The police were unable to solve the case and seemed to be too lazy to investigate.

The suspects took some of Scott's watches, guns and many of Scott's girlfriend's high-end bags and shoes, and it's unclear how they got into Scott's home.

There are no big-name coaches for the Lakers to choose from in the free market. All well-known coaches have jobs, and it is even harder to find coaches with championship experience.

If there were many good coaches, the Rockets would have driven away Refrigerator Kevin McHale long ago, and the Rockets led by him would not be able to make the playoffs for several years.

Players like Jason Kidd who have recently retired have easily found jobs and are currently coaching the Bucks. The Cavaliers directly hired a coach from Europe, and David Blatt may not be very reliable.

Some old coaches cannot keep up with the trend of the times and their tactics are outdated.

Jeff Hornacek, who is relatively young and has head coaching experience, has no record. He coached the Jazz for two seasons and went straight to the No. 1 pick, and now the Jazz have used Quinn Schneider.

There was also an inexperienced old fish Derek Fisher who volunteered to be the head coach of the Lakers, but Kupchak told him to get as far away as possible.

In the end, after Guo Xu saw the news, he took the initiative to contact Kupchak to solve the Lakers' problem. Isn't the team's assistant coach Tyronn Lue leaving? Let him be the head coach next season.

What? Kupchak was a little suspicious that Guo Xu was pretending.

He had already chosen his teammates carelessly before, without any requirements, and he could accept the garbage in the team's lineup. Now he can be more careless about coaching issues?

Tyronn Lue, who was on Earth 1, had nothing outstanding in his playing career, and he was not surpassed by Iverson. He became an assistant coach of the Lakers entirely because the management thanked him for his feat of replacing Guo Xu and helping the Lakers establish a dynasty.

Guo Xu's reason is simple. Anyway, there is no better choice. Let him take the job. He has been an assistant coach for so many years, so he must have coaching experience.

Tyronn Lue announced his retirement in 2009. After that, he followed Doc Rivers as an assistant coach with the Celtics for four years, and was hired as the chief assistant coach by the Lakers.

Are you kidding yourself when you say angry things? Kupchak said with a wry smile.

no,

How interesting it is for me to collaborate with the person who replaced me back then. Everyone will definitely want to see it. Guo Xu paused and said with a smile: If you want the team to be more gimmicky, I have another suggestion that can make the Lakers' ratings higher.

What advice?

How about poaching Spurs female assistant Becky Hammon as the first assistant coach? She is good at arranging point guard tactics. She probably has been training with the Spurs for a year, and she also understands the Spurs' defensive system.

How can our coaching staff play well next season if they have no experience? Kupchak said.

It's very simple. Think of more ways on the defensive end and leave it to me on the offensive end. Guo Xu said confidently.

...

Kupchak could see that Guo Xu just wanted to find a puppet coach who would not raise objections. He would do whatever he said and play how he wanted. Tyronn Lue just had to do a good job of replacing personnel.

There are many ball tyrants in the NBA, some who are uncoachable or those who can defend their teammates. This is the first time I have seen Kupchak as straightforward as Guo Xu.

As for signing Becky, Kupchik was speechless. Isn't that the WNBA's famous female secret?

Becky Harmon is a point guard with a height of 168cm and a die-hard fan of Guo Xu. She has followed everything about Guo Xu since he joined the Suns in 2002.

She is four years older than Guo Xu. She boldly expressed her love publicly during interviews, imitated Guo Xu in her playing style, and even went to Phoenix to watch Guo Xu play and asked for photos.

Before Guo Xu revealed his true nature as a lolicon, there were rumors of an affair between the two, but it wasn't as big as the scandals of Britney and Avril Lavigne. Fans don't believe that Guo Xu would find a girlfriend who is in the basketball circle. What would they do if they were in love? Practice playing with real balls?

In addition to being Guo Xu's rumored girlfriend, Becky also has an experience that is also quite controversial. In 2008, because she was not selected for the U.S. women's basketball team, Becky chose to become a Russian citizen and represented the Russian women's basketball team in the Beijing Olympics. In the bronze medal match, she helped the Russian team defeat the Chinese team.

Last season, she became the first female assistant coach in NBA history.

Guo Xu told Kupchak that this could increase the Lakers' ratings for the new season and make the game more exciting. The truth is that when he was in the time loop of Earth Three New York, Becky was also there, and they had a relationship.

On Earth 1, they didn't speak much, they just got to know each other. Guo Xu felt that he didn’t know who to find as a teaching assistant anyway, so he might as well let her give it a try.

Becky has been selected to the WNBA All-Star team 6 times in his career, the WNBA All-NBA first team twice, and the second team twice. In 2007, he became the WNBA assists leader. In 2011, he was selected into the top 15 superstars in WNBA history.

Her understanding of basketball tactics is as good as that of men, and she almost became the new head coach of the Pistons in 2018.

After Kupchak communicated with Guo Xu, he chatted with Jim Bass. The two decided to contact an experienced coach to give it a try. If there was really no one else to choose from, they would do what Guo Xu said.

A week later, Kupchak recommended two people to Guo Xu.

One was Scott Brooks, and Guo Xu directly rejected it.

What's the point of having this guy? The Thunder don't have any tactics, just singles. I can just play singles without a coach.

The other is Steve Kerr, a Suns assistant coach who is familiar with running and gunning. The disadvantage is that Cole was accidentally injured and had surgery after the season. He will not be able to follow the team at the beginning of next season.

Guo Xu thought about it and rejected it. He really didn't care if the ball was in his hands. Cole is a person who likes to rotate players. After he comes, Guo Xu will definitely not have much playing time next season.

If he averaged less than 35 minutes per game, how good would his numbers be?

Guo Xu is going to rush through the regular season next season and strive to break the historical record. He wants to play more than 40 minutes.

In the 2000-01 season, Iverson averaged 42 minutes per game, scored 31.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals. He shot 42% from the field and was praised by fans until now. It is estimated that he will be praised for a lifetime in the future. Guo Xu wants to see what he can do in 42 minutes. His goal is to average 50 points per game. Unless his teammates are empty, he will not pass the ball.

On Earth 6, Wang Jun's goal is also to average 50 points per game in a single season. The two of them have agreed to see who can do it first if there is a chance to meet again. Later, Wang Jun discovered that this bet was completely meaningless. He couldn't see what happened to Guo Xu on Earth 1, and he couldn't expose Guo Xu's direct bragging.

On August 20, the Lakers, who had no better choice, announced that Tyronn Lue would become the team's head coach next season, and Becky Hammon would be the first assistant coach. The Internet exploded.

Many fans are dissatisfied with the operation of the Lakers management, thinking that they are cheating Guo Xu, and scolding Kupchak and Jim Buss for being stupid. Tyronn Lue was a cheat when he was a player, and Becky has only been an assistant coach with the Spurs for one year. She is not qualified to sit on the sidelines during games.

Jenny Bass also came to see her brother and said he was messing around. Jim is innocent, he just did what Guo Xu asked.

Guo Xu was interviewed by reporters and admitted that he agreed to it. He made headlines again, and the fans' tone changed.

You are trying to trick yourself into death...
