When Steve. When Patterson said the Trail Blazers' head coach selection would be announced today, reporters weren't surprised.

After all, it's too late to be sure of who to choose.

Everyone is just curious how Patterson persuaded Sutton Sr. to coach the NBA.

Is it Paul again? Alan used the money power?

As a result, when everyone found out that the person who walked into the press conference was Rick. After Carlisle, the reporters were stunned.

Carlisle originally parted ways with the Pacers in May '07 and briefly worked as a commentator for a year before returning to coach in Dallas.

And in this life, because Roy and other young talents led the Pacers to the playoffs, Carlisle was still leading the team to the playoffs until May 2008.

Carlisle, who ended his five-year contract with the Pacers at the end of the season, became a "free coach" and has been thinking about his next stop.

A number of teams have extended invitations to Carlisle, including Mosaic.

This kind of thing mosaic has to join in the fun.

Carlisle has feelings for Indianapolis, and in fact the Pacers have always been one of his next homes.

After all, he and Bird are very good old friends.

But the attitude of the Pacers owner towards the team made Carlisle very disappointed for a while.

Truth be told, with the Pacers' current roster, they only need a little reinforcement to impact a better result.

But the team owner doesn't care, anyway, he gives Bird a goal - it's okay not to make money, but don't lose too much.

Well, don't dare to burn money, just rely on the draft, when will this team have to be raised?

So, Carlisle decided to leave, and he also got Bird's consent and support.

In the end, he chose the Dallas Mavericks — Cuban is an owner who is willing to give everything he has for the team.

Carlisle and Cuban have already met a few times, and both are very happy with each other.

And because of this, Steve. Patterson didn't have the idea of Punch Rail.

As everyone knows, Carlisle actually took the initiative to vote.

McMillan's resignation due to health reasons made Carlisle change his mind.

Paul. Allen, like Cuban, is also a boss who is willing to give everything to the team, and working under such an owner is motivating.

But the Trail Blazers have another person who is incredibly appealing to Carlisle — Wayne.

Back in Indianapolis, Carlisle was interested in grooming Wayne to become the next leader.

He's really interested in trying to develop a player on his own and then break through the league with him.

Truth be told, if he hadn't played under Carlisle, it would have been difficult for Wayne to get as many appearances in his rookie season with a championship team.

Refer to Daktronics.

But then everyone knows, the Pacers quickly fell after the peak and were torn apart.

Carlisle's wish was also disappointed.

But now, when he had the opportunity to renew his relationship with Wayne, he didn't hesitate!

He has always believed that it is a pity not to be able to create brilliance with Wayne.

At this point, he had a chance to make amends.

And just like that, Carlisle ran to Portland, leaving Cuban messy in the wind.

"I'm very confident that I'll do my job with the Trail Blazers, who have a great group of players.

We missed out on the championship last season and I think it's time to get it back. ”

Carlisle was extremely confident at the press conference, and was replaced by Larry. Brown picked the peach, and this time he finally experienced the thrill of picking peaches!

Of course, this peach is not ripe, and it is not necessarily.

There are still many difficulties in front of Carlisle.

First, the Trail Blazers' personnel changes this summer are a bit big. Six players have gone in one go, of which Darko, Judoka and Posey are still the main rotation, which is equivalent to half of the team changing blood.

In other words, it is not so easy to copy the homework of the predecessor McMillan.

Because the players are different, the system must also be changed. Rotation times, etc., have to be rescheduled.

And the second point is that Carlisle is going to immediately form a team of his own coaches.

Most coaches leave their company and bring their coaching team with them.

But Carlisle had to part ways with his coaching staff this time.

His defensive assistant coach Frank. Vogel, who was promoted by Bird to be the head coach of the Pacers.

His offensive assistant coach Terry. Stotts was hired by Cuban as the head coach of the Mavericks.

Therefore, Carlisle is now tantamount to having no right-hand man.

Speaking of which, this is also a good story in coaching circles.

One person resigned, two assistants became regulars, and people called Kim. Kelly is the coach of Liu Beep.

Of course, he can't do it alone, it's the workload and efficiency......

Well, Carlisle has been suffering from hair loss for the past few years.

Therefore, whether this fruit can be harvested next season depends on Carlisle's ability.

That's right, the Trail Blazers have a strong lineup.

But the Trail Blazers are also demanding.

To the outside world, if Carlisle can't lead the team to the championship, then he is a failure.

Therefore, although Carlisle blew loudly at the press conference, he actually had a lot of trouble.

Carlisle's next first thing to do was two things, first, to find Wayne a good replacement.

Darko's departure has left the Trail Blazers short of staff at the No. 4 position.

While Wayne will take up most of his playing time, the bench can't be too stretched, right?

The second is to improve your coaching team as soon as possible.

After the press conference, Carlisle sent out a recruitment information to the outside world, looking for teaching assistants!

It is required that the tactical cultivation is in place, can withstand the pressure, can mingle with the players, and has a good image, at least you have to wear a tie.

Salary negotiable but our boss is Paul. Alan, so the ticket you know.

As soon as the news was issued, many people enthusiastically signed up.

Who doesn't want to be in Paul. Alan is moving bricks under his hands.

Instead of interviewing an assistant coach in the office, Carlisle chose to be on a golf course.

He doesn't want the interview atmosphere to be too serious and affect the interviewee's performance.

The interview began on the third day after Carlisle took office, and on the first day, there was a lot of people coming.

The next day, there were still a lot.

On the third day, there were fewer people.

By the fourth day, there was only one person on the interview list, and that person's name startled Carlisle.

In the afternoon, Carlisle was playing golf while waiting for this special interviewer.

Finally, at a quarter past three in the afternoon, a chubby body swayed in.

Carlisle swallowed, he nervous......

Well, as an interviewer, he was nervous instead!

"Yo, hahaha, Rick! I haven't seen you in years! Oh my god, you have so little hair now! The visitor greeted Carlisle very familiarly, and then hugged him with open arms.

"Uh......" Carlisle was speechless, what a special interviewer, no big or small!

"How? What was the result of the interview these days? The visitor sat down easily and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Fortunately, there are a few good candidates." Carlisle shrugged.

", that means I don't have a chance?"

"Not necessarily, Charles, it depends on how you do today. But I said, why did you suddenly want to apply for an assistant coach? ”

Carlisle also sat down and chatted with his old acquaintance, the most special interviewer of the day.

Well, Charles. Barkley, Jazz Fliggy, appeared in the fourth day of the interview.

Carlisle and Barkley do know each other well, as they both entered the league in '84.

And after just eight games in the NBA, Barkley and Carlisle met for the first time.

At the time, Ross Barkley and Carlisle were both minor players in the team.

The protagonists of that game were Dr. J and Bird.

That day, Bird did well and beat Dr. J to the point where he didn't speak rudely.

In the third quarter, Bird had already scored 36 points, while Dr. J only scored a miserable 6.

With his character, will he let go of this opportunity to pretend to beep?

So, the big beep kept whispering in Dr. J's ear: "36 to 6, 36 to 6, 36 to 6......"

Later, Dr. J couldn't take it anymore and had a conflict with Bird.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, but I saw a No. 34 fat buttocks and a small bald head on the side of the 76ers rushed up and framed Bird with a choke lock posture. Marlon held the other side.

Dr. J then stood up and punched Big Beep in the face a few times.

A wave of threesome skills beat the big beep bird very embarrassed.

Later, it was the Celtics players who arrived in time to save the big beep.

It is worth mentioning that when the Celtics came to the rescue, almost everyone went to suppress Moses. Malone and Dr. J, but Barkley is unattended.

Just as he was embarrassed, a white guy came over and nudged him.

The two rookies glanced at each other, and each other resolved the embarrassment of not knowing what to do in this kind of scene.

That white guy was Carlisle.

This incident is one of the few cases in the history of Bird's beep that has been beaten.

What's even more powerful is that no one was banned or fined after such a big conflict......

I have to say that the NBA at that time was indeed quite "friendly"!

It's no wonder that some people say that Wayne will be able to play his full strength in the 80s and 90s......

In the current alliance, he can't use his fists and feet.

Since then, Barkley has admired Carlisle. Although the two don't have a deep intersection, they can't be regarded as not knowing each other.

He later retired, Carlisle became a coach and Barkley went to television. Barkley has still stood up for Carlisle more than once.

When fired by the Pistons, he backed Carlisle.

When questioned by the outside world, he supported Carlisle.

But Carlisle never expected that if he recruited an assistant coach, Barkley would also come to cheer.

"Why did you suddenly apply for a teaching assistant? Huh, do you think I'm thinking? Am I not happy drinking Coke and eating donuts at home every day?

Damn, it's not the group of young people who are not in the dream team yet. Hey, I think back then, when my generation played in the Olympics, that ......"

"Oh, okay, okay, hold me this beep, my ears are calloused with your stories." Carlisle hurried to stop him, or Barkley would have spent the next hour telling how he elbowed the Angolan players in the Olympics.

"If I'm not mistaken, you bet you're coming back in the NBA. Why are you applying for an assistant coach now? ”

"That's why I said you. Returning as an assistant coach...... Why isn't he a comeback?

I didn't say I was going to come back as a player. I came back as a coach, and I came back in the NBA. ”

Carlisle:......

You're fat, you're justified.

Speaking of which, Lord Ba is also an old Laipi.

Think back then he and Kenny. When Smith bets on a kiss ass, he is not actually betting on a donkey butt, but on a kissing Kenny. Smith's ass.

As a result, Barkley lost and Kenny. Smith was stupid too.

Would you like to kiss ...... I don't want to kiss you!

In the end, the two of them found a donkey named Kenny, which led to the famous scene of kissing the donkey's butt.

So although Lord Ba fulfilled his promise, he was actually using his little brain to play a trick.

It seems that this time, Lord Ba is ready to continue to play tricks in this way.

Well, anyway, I didn't say to come back as a player, see what you can do with me!

"If you're joking, forget it, Charles. No one cares about this promise, and everyone knows you're joking. Carlisle shook his head, I don't have time to waste time here with you.

But after Carlisle said this, Barkley suddenly lost his smile.

"What the hell am I joking? Since I dare to come, it means that I am serious.

I'm Charles. Barkley, what's going on?

Your comrade has a very serious problem now, and he will bury people as much as possible.

I'll tell you, I actually thought about becoming a coach when I retired.

After all, you know, uneducated athletes like us have very limited options after retirement, but I can't just be idle at home, right?

So, I did seriously consider making the transition to coaching.

But why did I choose the TV station in the end?

Because the annual salary of the current players is too high! 20 million, 30 million or even 40 million later!

If you look at Wayne, just the first contract extension is equivalent to the money Michael has made playing in his entire career.

So I'm not sure how hard they work, and I don't know if they still have the heart to be the first after they have made a lot of money.

In such a situation, if I coach a team, they will probably not be able to do what I want, and I will definitely fight with them like crazy.

Well, while most of the players may not be able to beat me, I know I definitely can't get used to those stinky boys.

Instead of being angry with myself, I might as well go to the TV station and watch the game, and get the money.

That's why I didn't coach.

But for now, that's the only way I can go. You know me, I don't want people to look down on me.

And ......"

Buckley paused for about five or six seconds before he uttered his final words: "...... And, after watching the Olympics, I think Wayne is one of the few players who still wants to be great even after making money.

I've always been curious about him, about his team.

Now if there's a chance to work on Wayne's team, I won't miss it.

I hope...... Damn, I've never really been great, so I'd love to help someone I admire become great!

So, if you want to ask anything, I'm prepared, Rick! ”

Lord Ba became serious, don't look at this beep usually giggles, but he sees many things very thoroughly.

He once warned young players to study hard, only reading can make you do what you want to do, and only so that you can live well without basketball.

He used to warn young players not to get carried away by lust and to plan for the future. Your money really can't be spent forever.

He once said that he never talks to black kids about sports, and that his goal is to convince young people that they have a better chance of becoming a doctor than they do in the NBA.

Because he knows that among so many black children, only a small fraction of them have recently been able to enter the NBA or rely on basketball to eat.

And most of those who didn't play basketball and didn't study well had to live on the streets.

Barkley is a true thinker, so he's been thinking a lot about coming to the interview.

He didn't want to go to a random team and be a clown on a 10-day contract.

Since you want to come back and return to the NBA, you have to do something practical!

Carlisle really didn't expect Barkley, who is usually not serious, to be so serious, so he quickly straightened his attitude and chatted with Barkley about the team.

Carlisle and Barkley both chose the Trail Blazers because Wayne......

To Carlisle's surprise, Barkley did do a lot of homework and made a lot of useful suggestions.

The most important thing is that Barkley is really the kind of assistant coach who can go off the pitch and coach the players himself.

In the end, the two chatted very happily and ended the meeting with laughter.

After the meeting, Barkley, who had a good conversation, stood up and stretched, then picked up the golf club on the ground.

"Yo, where's the whole golf? To tell you the truth, I've also made great progress in my skills in the past few years. With that, Lord Bar picked up the club and stood beside the golf ball.

Carlisle looked at Barkley, still thinking about what he had just chatted about,

At this time, Lord Ba swung his club.

He threw a shot hard, but paused for a second or two just as he was about to hit the ball, like Hayes's free throw.

Then, Barkley exerted his strength again and swung hard!

"Bang!"

"it!" Carlisle was stunned because ......

I saw that the ball was directly knocked out by Barkley with the piece of turf on the ground, leaving only a big hole on the ground!

Is this Nima playing golf? You're digging the ground!

Well, now Carlisle knows why his swing has been called "the ugliest swing in history" by the American media.

Lord Ba really lives up to his name!

"Hey, it doesn't feel good today, it doesn't feel very good......" After playing, Barkley threw the club and shook his head.

With a wave of his sleeves, only a large hole remains.

After four days, Carlisle concluded his interview as an assistant coach.

After that, Carlisle thought about it for two more days.

By this time, the time has come to September, the start of pre-season training camp is getting closer and closer, and the coaching staff must also arrange a training plan for pre-season training camp.

So, it can't be delayed any longer.

After thinking about it for two days, Carlisle told Patterson his decision.

In early September, the Trail Blazers officially announced that the University of Florida alligator champion coach Billy Murphy Donovan, became an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers.

Billy. Donovan had just won the NCAA championship in 2007, when he had the idea of coaching the NBA and agreed a five-year contract with the Magic.

But in the end, because of the disagreement between the two sides, Donovan parted ways only half a month after signing with the Magic.

At the time, the Magic included a very fucked-up peer exclusion clause in the contract, which meant that Donovan could not be a head coach on another NBA team for five years. If you want to stay in the NBA as a head coach, you can only coach the Magic!

He had no choice but to return to the NCAA to continue coaching.

But now, a year later, Donovan still can't hold back, he is eager to be in the NBA, eager to coach the world's highest-level basketball competition.

So, he applied for an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers and was ready to try out the waters with a few years in the NBA.

Donovan's addition came as a surprise, and everyone didn't expect this guy to be willing to accept the status of assistant coach.

After all, Donovan has been a head coach since '94 and has been a head coach for 14 years now.

But not everyone is willing to put down their bodies to become teaching assistants.

If Billy. Donovan's joining is just a surprise, so the candidate for another assistant coach of the Trail Blazers can only be described as a fright.

In addition to this, the Trail Blazers are also officially in line with Charles. Ross Barkley has reached a one-year contract, and Barkley will join the coaching staff as an assistant coach next season! ”

Well, the first thing most people do when they see this news is look at the date.

It's not April Fool's Day either!

The second thing is to question the authenticity of the news.

Then fans found out that the official website of the Trail Blazers also had this news.

This Nima ......

Barkley is going to be an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers!?

That night, Barkley also officially announced the incident on the show: "Today is the last time I record the show in the next year, and as we all know, I have fulfilled my promise to make a comeback in the NBA as an assistant coach!" How about Kenny? When have I ever played smashed?

No matter how difficult it is, it can't be difficult for the smart Charles! ”

Kenny. Smith is stupid, just like Barkley, can be a coach in the NBA?

Smith admits that he is a little jealous of Fliggy.

Unlike Barkley, who was comfortable on TV, Kenny. Smith would have liked to return to the NBA as a coach or member of management in the past two years.

But......

No one had ever looked for him.

The result?

Lord Ba Jue, a third-level brain-dead, actually got a job as an assistant coach?

"Don't be surprised, Kenny. I've always done what Barkley says, and you know that. Don't miss me too much for the next year. ”

As soon as this news came out, basketball fans around the world were in an uproar.

Barkley as an assistant coach?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight Wayne on the training ground.

The other teams are also trembling, damn the Trailblazers are really all evildoers?

In the past, it was already so fierce that players could play, but now even assistant coaches can play!

There's no way, Lord Ba's record is too dazzling.

His grandmother told him since he was a child that if he was beaten, he must be beaten back. So throughout his career, Barkley beat Ranbir, just past Oakley, and beat Rodman.

In the final season of his career, the 36-year-old Barkley also upset the 27-year-old Shaq.

Danny. Angie directly suspected that they signed Barkley to help out in a fight!

This trick is vicious enough!

Wayne was also a little confused, what the hell is this......

Sir Fliggy is coming?

Obediently, will you really walk sideways when you go out in the future?

Wayne shook his head and looked at the sky.

In the new season, Birdman, Jordan Jr., Tony, Golan plus a flying pig.

Well, the training camp for the new season is suddenly looking forward to it......
