Chapter Fifty-Nine: Lucky Red Wine
"It's actually not a tough decision to make, it's time for me to retire, it's as simple as that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The expression on Larry Brown's face was still relatively relaxed, "As Jack said, our differences in basketball are irreconcilable. If I had been fifteen years younger, maybe I would have stayed and found a way to change him. But now, I'm old. ”
"It's a disagreement in basketball, nothing else. I have a lot of respect for Larry, as Chauncey (Billups) said, he was probably older than my grandfather, and I should have respect for him. Chen Mo also commented on Larry Brown's resignation.
Chen Mo wants to get rid of Larry Brown, and now that he has achieved his goal, there is no need to fall into the hole again, and in fact he is not the one who falls into the hole.
Larry Brown is not someone who can't think about it, and the moment he is ready to retire, the resentment between him and Chen Mo has disappeared.
The storm that the media had expected did not come, they seemed to see two bolts of lightning, heard a few thunders, and then the clouds dispersed, and the rain turned into wind. This seems to be the end of the matter?
The matter was indeed over, and after Chen Mo and Larry Brown left the press conference, the Charlotte Bobcats got on the plane back.
After getting off the plane, Chen Mo had just arrived at the parking lot, and he saw Jordan's Ferrari sports car at a glance.
Chen Mo didn't expect Jordan to wait for them here, it seems that he was going to deal with Larry Brown's affairs overnight.
Larry Brown didn't say anything and walked straight to Jordan's sports car. Chen Mo didn't know whether he should go with him, Jordan rolled down the window and shouted, "Gerald, you and Jack are also coming over." ”
Larry Brown resigned, Jordan did not keep him, Jordan continued to pay Larry Brown the rest of his salary, and Larry Brown relieved him of all positions with the team.
Chen Mo didn't know why Jordan called himself and Gerald over, was he just here to say goodbye to Larry Brown?
Chen Mo was thinking nonsense, Gerald was also single, since he arrived at Jordan's villa, he didn't say a word, and drank the treasure red wine of the basketball god by himself.
In the end, the four of them toasted, and Larry Brown's Charlotte trip was a complete conclusion.
Jordan sent a chauffeur to take Larry Brown back, and the old man walked in style. But Chen Mo has been thinking about it, and I don't know what Jordan is doing.
"Larry is gone, are you satisfied?" Michael Jordan's face was gloomy. Even if Jordan is rooting for Chen Mo and wants to replace Larry Brown, it is not in such a way. If Chen Mo tosses every coach like this, who can stand it? Therefore, Jordan is still angry about the player forcing the coach today.
"Michael, you've already been in contact with our new coach, right?" Chen Mo suddenly said thoughtlessly.
Jordan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "How do you know?" After saying that, he realized that he had slipped out.
"There were two wine glasses on the table with water beads hanging from them, apparently they had just been washed. He's either just gone, or he's still here! ”
Jordan shook his head and smiled, "You're smart, but first tell me what you think of the head coach." ”
"I need a certain amount of freedom on the pitch, and the head coach can communicate and communicate with me," Chen Mo said some of his thoughts on ......the head coach. In fact, he didn't know who Jordan had met with, and he wasn't talking about anyone, but a little bit of what he thought about the position of head coach.
As for whether the head coach will not get along well with the team because of personality problems, it has nothing to do with Chen Mo.
Jordan lit himself a cigar, took a deep breath, looked at Gerald, and said, "What do you think?" ”
Gerard Wallace pointed at Chen Mo, "Listen to him." ”
Wallace now trusts Chen Mo very much, he has cooperated with Chen Mo for a few games, and his statistics have all increased. He previously averaged 19.3 points per game, and he averaged 22.5 points per game in games with Chen Mo. If their level of understanding continues to increase, his stats will grow even more.
And Wallace felt very comfortable playing with Chen Mo, almost didn't need to know any brains, he just had to do his own thing.
Jordan waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" There are also two guests upstairs. ”
The glass room on the top floor of the villa is not very bright, and the weather in mid-November is not cold. Drinking some red wine here, blowing a small breeze, and the freshness of the flowers blowing downstairs is really good.
A middle-aged man and an elderly man are discussing the story of Charlotte Lynx and Chen Mo.
"Michael is here." The middle-aged man said.
"How do you know?"
"The taste of a Gasbah cigar, Michael's favorite."
As soon as the words fell, footsteps came out.
The old man smiled, "John, your sense of smell is really sensitive, like your sense of smell for passing." ”
At this time, Jordan pushed the door in and said, "Jerry, John, you've been waiting for a long time. I think we can sit down and have a good talk. ”
"Jerry! John!? Chen Mo exclaimed in surprise when he saw the two of them.
These two are none other than the legendary coach and player of Salt Lake City, who twice served as Jordan's background and made the gods of basketball Jerry Sloan and John Stockton.
"Jack, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!" Sloane laughed.
"I really didn't expect it." Chen Mo sat down as he spoke.
"Alright! If you want to talk, let's talk later! Now we have to talk about the team. Jordan said.
Sloan looked at Chen Mo and said, "You know, I want the championship, can you give me hope in a few years?" I'm running out of time. It's just two or three more years. ”
Chen Mo thought for a while, and said endlessly: "If we can continue to strengthen, we will have the hope of winning the championship this season." ”
Everyone present looked at him in surprise, and Jordan choked on his cigar.
Chen Mo continued to say calmly: "The Miami Big Three still need to be run-in, Boston is aging, and Orlando is not to be afraid." As for the west, the people of Los Angeles are also old, and the three young people in the Russian city are still immature, maybe there will be a dark horse in the west this year! So, if we can add a No. 4 with a lot of ability in the low post and a substitute in the No. 2 position, we are definitely hopeful. ”
Sloan flipped through his notebook and expressed his opinion, his thoughts were similar to Chen Mo's, and this was the reason why he chose Charlotte. On the other hand, Chen Mo is a player that the old coach has never seen before, and he also wants to cooperate with such a player.
Their conversation went very well, and in the end Jerry Sloan decided to pick up Charlotte's coaching whip.
"I'll give you a certain amount of freedom, but you've got to execute my tactics, and I'm not too involved off the pitch and in the dressing room, as long as you don't mess with me. Plus, John will stay to impart some of your experience, and it won't be long, maybe a week! Sloan said.
Chen Mo said: "I hope our cooperation is happy. ”
Jordan raised his glass and said, "Hopefully this is a lucky glass of red wine that will bring us all good luck!" ”
