Chapter 154: The Chosen One

That's why the elder Brown will be reluctant to the 76ers, and the invitation sent by the Warriors through IMG has become a timely rain.

"Sid, what if you invest a lot of money and find that the team's record doesn't meet your expectations?" asked Larry Brown cautiously and rigorously.

Sid smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Since you have entered a game of victory and loss like the NBA, of course no one likes to lose, and I am no exception." However, I know that it takes time to run a club or build a team. ”

"What's more, it's still an era of Lakers dominance, and it's only going to be more difficult for other teams to show their strengths, but in my opinion, winning should be the natural result when you've done all the right things. ”

Sid's words can't help but make Larry Brown's eyes light up, you must know that as an academic head coach, his most important concept is the concept of "playing basketball in the right way", Sid's words can be said to speak to his heart.

In this respect, Larry Brown has some degree of similarity with "Coach Anthy" in "Slam Dunk".

For the Warriors, who are currently scattered and have no foundation at all, there are no so-called big star players at all, so this is also a big advantage for Larry Brown.

Sid then said frankly: "And what I'm looking for is not a year or two of wins, but I want the Warriors to build a good, healthy operating system, from scouting, to the league draft, to the selection of players, to the buying and selling of teams, to team training and official games." ”

"Larry, I know the Warriors are one of the weakest teams in the league right now, but because of that, it's a good blank sheet of paper, and it's a great way to build a world, isn't it?"

"I will give the club time, I know that the average owner will be angry and sack the manager if they find that the results of a certain period or year are not as expected, but I think it is difficult to really succeed if you continue to act with such a utilitarian mentality and means. ”

In fact, now Larry Brown has a grudge against the 76ers, and the invitation of the West Coast Warriors can be said to be timely, in fact, he also did a little understanding of Sid before he was invited this time.

Larry Brown was very curious about Sid, a young man with a strong legend, and also learned about his advanced concept of professional management in management, professional affairs, so that the Fire Lion Group in just a few years, the whole Hollywood turmoil, completely different from the management of non-professional dream factory.

And the Golden State Warriors are now about to start the new season, and the situation is close to a blank slate, which can make him show his strength.

"Larry, I know you've coached a lot of teams, but I assure you, the Warriors are very different from the ones you've coached before. Like I said, I'm patient enough for the growth of the team, and I want both the financial gain and the team's results. Right now, I'm going to invest $500 million in the Warriors over five years. ”

"I sincerely invite you to join my team as the head coach and vice president of management of the Warriors, don't you want to build a Warriors dynasty like Nelson Sr?" Sid sent a rare formal invitation to Brown Sr., his expression was serious, revealing his solemnity and expectation.

The old Nelson that Sid is talking about is the current Dallas Mavericks coach Don Nelson, as a former Warriors coach, he took over the Mavericks in the mid-90s and gradually built it from an unknown garbage team to a traditional powerhouse in the West today.

Although there is still some distance from top teams such as the Lakers Dynasty and the Spurs, today's Mavericks have been reborn compared to before.

Sid's analogy really made Larry Brown's heart move, he has always been one of the NBA coaches who jumped ship quickly, although his record is good, but frequent job hopping does not give him enough time to implement strategic talent, so many people in the circle think that he is more famous than powerful.

Those people entered the arena and said in a mocking tone, "A head coach who hasn't even won a championship can actually be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

Thinking of this, Larry Brown couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and looked at Sid through his glasses with a bright gaze, "Basketball has always been a part of my life, Sid, I am willing to accept your invitation, I hope we will work together happily in the future!"

Larry Brown furrowed his brow with a solemn expression and shook hands with a smiling Sid, "Then, Sid, we have to start by adjusting the lineup of the current team......

————————————————————

It was noon soon, and it wasn't until Sid's assistant came in to remind him of lunch time that Sid had to interrupt the conversation with Brown Sr., and the two simply went to the Sony studio restaurant to eat and chat, because Sid had to go back to deal with "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the afternoon, so noon was his last leisure time.

And Rally Brown, an old man in his sixties, doesn't know if he has suffered too much anger in the 76ers, and when it comes to running the team and building the lineup, he is simply gushing and out of control.

And he was also surprised that Sid won the Warriors so quickly, won the NBA broadcast rights, and most importantly, won the first pick in the first round of next year's draft, which is really incredible for a team owner who has just moved into the NBA.

The "historical" 2003 NBA Draft has been called the Platinum Generation, an era that is recognized as comparable to the era when the gods of Jordan's generation shone in '84.

Sid quickly cut through the mess and won the first pick in next year's draft with huge money and calculation, many people don't realize what a big advantage this is, but if you want to turn the advantage into a victory, then you need to be very bold.

As Larry Brown, who once led the team to win the NCAA championship, his deep connections in the North American Collegiate League certainly allow him to make a head start on next year's draft.

"Sid, don't worry, I'll have people collect information on the high school league and the NCAA when I get back, but I don't know if you usually pay attention to sports. Larry Brown thought for a moment and said to Sid, "If we can only choose once in the first round and once in the second round. Then there is a high school newcomer who is now being super-eyed. ”

"High school?" Sid couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
