The first thing the 76ers have to solve is their position.

Based on the informal meeting at the dinner table that day, the 76ers' general manager now chooses people based on the following principles:

1. Newcomers.

2. Worked as an assistant coach next to an old coach or said that he was a player.

3. Finally, have a little experience on the offensive end, such as being a shooting coach or something.

Applying these conditions, there are not many people in the league who meet the requirements.

However, there are still a few people who can be shortlisted, at least in Han Miao's heart, there are currently three places.

No. 1 candidate, Steve Kerr, born in 1965, is a famous three-point player, the commander of the Warriors army in later generations, the only person (player + coach) who has won 72 or more wins in a single season twice in his career, and the second person to win two championships on both teams! (Bulls and Spurs)

At the same time, he is also a disciple of Popovich, and this guy is currently active in the commentary seat.

No. 2 candidate, Jeff Hornacek, born in 1963, was an equally famous pitcher when he was a player, enjoyed the honor of retiring his jersey, and was the kind of player who was average in physical fitness but very intelligent. In '04, the Green Army was almost going to make him the head coach!

Hornacek is currently working as a shooting coach for the Jazz, playing for Sloan, although he did not perform well as a coach in later life, Hornacek won because he has a very beautiful daughter, who is the national father-in-law in the NBA world.

No. 3 candidate, Brad Stevens, born in 1976, is only 34 years old this year, a very young newcomer, and was once a player (non-professional), but he has not coached in the NBA, however, he is now the head coach of Butler University! In other words, Coach Butler, who commanded Heywood this year and scored the last two points of a 25-game winning streak to defeat Duke, is him!

The famous "young marshal" of the Green Army in later generations!

The general manager of the 76ers also successfully added these three to the list of considerations, but because these three people have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible for him to know the record of these three people as coaches in the future like Han Miao, which suddenly makes the manager of the 76ers difficult to choose for a while.

Not...... When there is no way to choose, the general manager of the 76ers has his own way, which is to give the choice to God - to draw lots.

Maybe it's because Han Miao was chosen in this way, so the general manager of the 76ers is now very obsessed with this method and can't extricate himself.

So, first out of 15 pieces of paper, after writing the names of these three people on average, and then crumpling the paper into a ball and putting it in a box, and then reaching in and digging it out, anyway, the general manager of the 76ers has already made up his mind, and whoever will take it out in a while, that's who!

After a few moments, he finally took out a paper ball from it, and when he opened it, the name on it made the general manager of the 76ers smile like a chrysanthemum blooming again.

God really takes care of the 76ers!

So, let's go and meet this "Chosen One"!

……

A few days later, Indiana, Butler University.

Brad Stevens is a very ambitious young man, and he actually brought a small school with only about 4,000 students to the hall of the National College Men's Basketball Finals!

Although it is said that there is a good genius such as Hayward, Stevens's ability cannot be ignored, and he is very young, which does bring a different vitality to Butler University.

Today, however, the young head coach is facing an important life choice.

"Mr. Stevens, I am here in person, I should represent our highest sincerity, I know you are very unhappy with the loss of Duke in the finals, but with all due respect, after losing Hayward, it is still unknown whether you will be able to reach the finals again next year (but historically, Stevens really made it again the second year!). But now, with the opportunity to go to a bigger and better stage to prove your talent, what reason do you have to refuse? ”

Yes, the general manager of a team showed up in person and offered a big contract of 6 years and 22 million dollars (the real contract given to him by the Green Army in history)! It really makes it difficult for Stevens to refuse, and it really takes a lot of courage to offer an annual salary of close to 4 million to a rookie coach!

And people are right, the NBA is a bigger stage, you can better show your strength, and at the same time, people also show absolute trust in themselves, if you refuse at this time, isn't it a bit shameless?

And he is no stranger to the 76ers, the Chinese kid he met in the quarterfinals is this year's leader Han Miao, a good friend of his beloved apprentice Hayward, and now it should be their new core inside, that kind of player is what every coach likes to bring, has the strength and understands etiquette, and respects the coach and does not play big names, and can drive his teammates to progress together, if there is Han Miao at Butler University this year, plus Hayward, then they would have been champions a long time ago, and there is still a turn to get Duke?

"Mr. Stevens, you should know that we also selected Han Miao, you know the ability and character of this wonder boy, and it is definitely a perfect match with you, what are you waiting for?"

"Okay, I promise you, but I hope you can help me get this player, I think he's a good fit for the current team and he's a perfect fit for our new core!"

Stevens is also a strong-willed person, the golden time in his 30s is a good time for a man to work hard, and after hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind!

"Hmm...... This person, although it is a little difficult, but it should be possible, well, I will use this as a gift for your new manager. ”

successfully won the second "Chosen One" (drawn out of lots, the first one is Han Miao), which made the general manager of the 76ers feel very good, and the person Stevens proposed is not a special big-name star, but a rookie that everyone is familiar with, although the ranking is quite high, but with the current state of the 76ers team's young talents, there is no problem in replacing him.

This can give confidence to the new manager, make the roster more reasonable, and make the new core of the team happy, this kind of triple win, the 76ers manager said that if I don't do it, God will punish me.

"Well, then, I hope we have a good time working together, Mr. Stevens! Oh no, it's Coach Stevens! The general manager of 76ers is very satisfied with his work today, and in his opinion, since everything has obeyed God's will, he seems to be running from time to time, and in this way, it seems that he can also mix in the selection of the best manager at the end of the year!

"Happy working with, General Manager."

Stevens also stood up and shook hands with the general manager, which officially announced the new head coach of the 76ers, the future famous young coach in place!
