Chapter 124: Happy Cooperation!

Unstoppable, invincible, and only such a team can truly build a dynasty, and over time, this belief will be buried deeper and deeper in the team until it becomes the soul of this team.

"There's no doubt that the pursuit of wins is the most fundamental value that exists on every team, but I want to know more about what you position yourself for the Clippers?" Lin Yu asked.

"To be honest, the Clippers are arguably one of the weakest teams in the league, and if you want this team to be a strong team in the league, or even a championship team, to be honest, it's hard, it requires not only faith, but also a strong but united group of players, otherwise, it's all a pipe dream." Phil Jackson said.

Lin Yu nodded and said with a smile: "This is exactly what we are going to do, but before that, we need a great team leader." ”

"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that." Phil Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully.

"No, no, Bill, I think you can see what I mean. The Clippers also need a spiritual leader, and you're that one. Lin Yu shook his head, and then said seriously.

"Sir, I'm just the coach of a CBA team now, how can I coach a league team like the Clippers?" Phil Jackson said with a smile.

"I heard that Mr. likes Oriental culture very much, so I must have heard of the saying 'Heroes don't ask where they come from'. Now that the Clippers are rebuilding, I'm sure you'll be up to the task. Lin Yu said with a smile.

Phil Jackson didn't speak, but sat quietly thinking.

To be honest, he didn't expect that there would be an NBA owner looking for him to coach, he is now just the coach of a team that can be said to be nothing in the league, although he has already worn two championship rings on his hands, but that is only when he was a player, as a coach, he has not yet achieved any results, he really can't understand how the owner of the Clippers in front of him will find him.

"Sir, I'm curious how you came up with me, knowing that there are more coaches in the league who are better than me." Phil Jackson eventually asked the question.

"Hehe, there are many excellent coaches, but Phil Jackson has only one." Lin Yu said with a smile: "I have watched your coaching video, and I appreciate your coaching ability, at least this is consistent with my team philosophy." ”

Although this reason is not very reasonable, Phil Jackson did not dig into it, but asked another question that he cared about.

"Now that the team is going to rebuild, how do you solve the problem of the players?"

"It's up to the head coach to think about it, after all, it's the head coach who runs the Clippers, not me." Lin Yuyi shook his head and said.

"So you mean if I were to coach this team, you would have the players I wanted?" Phil Jackson asked, uncertain.

"It's not entirely like that, there are two people in the team who won't move, and of course, the strength of these two people will be recognized by you." Lin Yu thought for a while and said.

Jordan and Wharton, Lin Yu will never let go.

"Which two?" Phil Jackson was curious.

"Michael Jordan and Bill Wharton." Lin Yu said.

Phil Jackson was a little puzzled when he heard these two names, Bill Wharton knew it, but Michael Jordan didn't know it.

"What year is this Michael Jordan draft?"

"No, he's not a league player yet, he's the draft pick this year, but we're already going to sign him. That's why we're trading with the Trailblazers. Lin Yu said with a smile.

He didn't mind telling Phil Jackson the secrets of those teams.

"A rookie?" Phil Jackson was a little confused, and now he was sure to sign the rookie? Also, how did he know that the Trail Blazers' signing would be up front?

"Sir, I have a question, how can you be sure that the Trail Blazers' draft pick will be up front?"

"No, I'm not sure, I'm gambling too, but that's okay, I can afford to lose even if I lose." Lin Yu said with a smile.

Gambling? Phil was a little surprised, and then laughed. This boss is really funny.

Where is life not gambling, but some people win bets, some people bet and lose, bet to win happily, gambling to lose is not a big deal, since the loss is not big, then why can't you gamble?

"But you know, if the team doesn't get this year's draft pick, and the player you're talking about is so good, then I think there's going to be a team that grabs it." Phil Jackson said.

"Hehe, I'm determined to win Jordan." Lin Yu said with a smile.

There was a strong sense of confidence in his tone.

After thinking about it, Phil Jackson asked again: "So, sir, I wonder what kind of rights the board of directors will give to the head coach in the affairs of the team?" ”

Lin Yu smiled slightly and said: "Please rest assured, as long as the results are produced, then the board of directors will give you the greatest rights, including trading out players you don't like, except for Jordan, of course." ”

Oh? This promise surprised Phil Jackson, knowing that many team general managers or club presidents will dictate the team's affairs, and when the team's results are poor, they will pass the blame away, and Phil Jackson does not want to be such a head coach.

In addition, Phil Jackson was a little curious about the Jordan that the young Clippers owner in front of him said, what kind of player can make the owner of a team talk about it again and again, and also say such things.

At this moment, Phil Jackson became extremely interested in Michael Jordan.

"So what if I had a conflict with this Michael Jordan?" Phil Jackson looked at Lin Yu with a smile.

"I'm sure nothing like this will happen." Lin Yu said with a smile.

Of course, there will be no such thing, you must know that Jordan's mentor is Michael Jackson, and it is also under the knowledge and leadership of Phil Jackson that Michael Jordan will lead the Bulls to complete the two dynasties, and the two will definitely have chemistry together.

Without further ado, Phil Jackson asked, "Does the board give me the right to go to any player?" ”

"Of course, the team will give you absolute rights in this regard, but you must give an explanation or a reason if the board has doubts." Lin Yu nodded in confirmation.

"So what's the bottom line for the board? Or what do you want the team to do? Phil Jackson asked.

He doesn't want to accept the Clippers' request from the board of directors to let the team win a championship, which is a fantasy for him and the team.

"The team has to make the playoffs starting next season, and in three years we're going to build a dynasty that belongs to the Clippers." Lin Yu said categorically.

"Establish a dynasty?" Phil Jackson didn't expect the Clippers owner in front of him to have such ambitions, knowing that winning a championship may be easy, but to build a dynasty requires not only championships, but also a team with one or even two players who are strong enough to make all the players in the league look at them or even look up to them.

"Yes, sir, in three years the Clippers will have to start building their own dynasty."

Lin Yu is very sure that the Clippers with Jordan and Bill Wharton can build a dynasty of their own, Jordan and Pippen built their Bulls dynasty in the previous life, and now, Lin Yu wants Jordan and Pippen to build their Clippers dynasty, Lin Yu believes that it can definitely succeed.

"Sir, I'm afraid I can't do this." Phil Jackson shook his head.

Hearing Phil Jackson's answer, Lin Yu didn't care, before he came, he thought that this ace coach of the future would have such a reaction, smiled and said: "Don't remember to answer first, Mr. Phil, I think if you meet Jordan and Bill Wharton, you will also have the confidence I have." ”

"Do the two of them really have such strength?" Phil Jackson asked, skeptical.

"yes, I think as long as they are given enough teammates to be worthy of them, then the Clippers dynasty is not a pipe dream."

At this moment, Phil Jackson was not only curious, but even looked forward to meeting the two, but randomly, Phil Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully as if he had thought of something: "Sorry, sir, I'm still the head coach of the Albani team, so I can't go directly to Los Angeles yet." ”

"Hehe, as long as you promise to come down, the team has given up this season, and now the team is not enough to enter the playoffs, I am thinking about next season now, I hope that Mr. can coach the Clippers after this season, what does Mr. think." Lin Yu said directly.

Phil Jackson pondered for a while before he stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "It's a great honor." ”

Seeing this, Lin Yu also stood up, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" ”

After talking about all this, Lin Yucai asked, "Since Mr. has decided to coach the Clippers, I don't know if there are any requirements?" ”

Phil Jackson smiled faintly and said: "There is nothing to ask, we have just said what I should say, if I only have absolute control and command, and I have the right to dispose of the players of the team, except for Michael Jordan." Also, boss, I wonder how much is left in the team's salary? ”

"Salary?" Lin Yu thought for a while and said: "There is still more than $10 million in salary space, and I don't know much after the transaction, after all, the team hasn't traded much yet." ”

Phil Jackson nodded.

$10 million, and then after adjustment, there will be a balance of about 10 million, then there should be a good win in the player free market, and Phil Jackson still has quite confidence in his ability to see people.
