Lakers Senior Management Office.

"Finished fighting?" Bonnie. Laughlin said: "I didn't expect you to be able to say it~ There is a set~"

"Please~ Is it really appropriate for the two of you to just watch me make a fool of yourself? Today's lunch, you have a treat, you must have a treat! "The Magician" jokingly "threatened" Bonnie. Laughlin and Pelinka agreed.

Los Angeles, Don Qian's residence.

He hung up the phone and sat on the couch not knowing what to say, but he had to admit that what the "magician" had just said was not wrong. In fact, he felt the deepest and greatest about the shortcomings of the D'Antoni system. And the former had a sentence that touched Tang Qian's heart, although he didn't want to think about it before, but after being broken by someone, he still couldn't help but face it.

That's D'Antoni's system, in fact, it's more like a super No. 1 or a super two-way position, rather than a super center.

Of course, he mentioned a huge filling role in this system, but the degree to which this system fed back to him was too low, and if he couldn't introduce the super No. 1 position in the summer, then next season is estimated to be a copy of this season's Western Finals. He said that after 5 games with the Warriors, he deeply felt the gap between the Lakers' team system and the opponent, and if it can't be solved, it is estimated that there will be no way to break through the West for a long time in the future. This situation is definitely unacceptable to Tang Qian.

He has already tasted the championship, and it is impossible not to desire and be greedy.

After all, he's not the kind of role player who doesn't have ambition to bench and thinks it's okay to mix up a ring, he wants more, more. So he had no way to really refute the words of the "magician". Why? Isn't it because he knows that the "magician" is telling the truth?

How do you go about dismissing a truth?

Moreover, the new handsome candidate proposed by "Magic" is enough to shock Tang Qian, it is Larry. Brown, Coach of Thousand Wins, Vic's mentor, is the legendary coach who has led different teams to the playoffs the most times in NBA history. The tactical level and tactical attainments are extremely high, and the NCAA is the real tactical place, where individual abilities are inferior to the overall tactical system. Jordan is in it, too. Therefore, those who can become the head coach of President Hill in it are all tactically rich to the extreme. Plus Larry. Brown has been coaching professional teams since the 70s, and he has carried over all the rule changes over the years, which shows that he is also super adaptable to the rules. Let's just say that the bad team like the Bobcats were brought into the playoffs by him, what else can you say?

And then Larry. Brown is estimated to be one of the strongest defensive coaches in NBA history, and the Pistons defense at the beginning of the 21st century was truly suffocating, and was voted the most defensive legendary team of the 21st century like the Green Army in '08. And I'm afraid many people don't know that the Pistons have entered the 6th Eastern Conference finals, and this endurance is a few points stronger than the "Hulk". The real "alchemy stone" in the east back then was said to be unable to pass him, and he was not qualified to step on the floor of the finals.

And his system legacy until he left the Pistons, the Pistons still entered the Eastern Conference Finals, which is really not something that can be done ordinarily.

But without him, the finals were basically out of play, and with the league's total ban on hand-checking, the Pistons organized by civilians also lost their strongest breath. But as a team that doesn't have superstars, the ceiling is an all-star team, and he has been transformed into a team of the Eastern Devils, which is really terrifying. If that team had a true offensive and defensive core, the Spurs wouldn't have had the last laugh. Because of the civilians, they also suffered the loss of the giant planet, and lost to the "super god" Ginobili + Duncan that year, and there was no way, and the bloody battle was strong enough in the seventh game.

Relative to D'Antoni's style of play, Larry. Brown's system is more suitable for him, the pace is slower, the defense is stronger, and his defensive core ability will be further improved, and even to the maximum is not impossible. What about the offensive end? Because the defense is solid, the advantage of attacking the fortification will also come out, if Tang Qian puts his back up this summer, this is a real hit and drop.

The "magician" talked to him for dozens of minutes, before and after, in detail, the pros and cons, and it was impossible for Tang Qian not to understand the former's painstaking efforts. This Lakers celebrity is not harming himself, but is really looking for someone for himself and the entire Lakers. Besides, at this time, the choice to completely rebuild the team is also under great pressure from the outside world, Tang Qian casually looks at it, Lakers fans are the majority in the aspects they don't understand.

So, to this extent, he is not in any position to accuse the "magician".

People are also worried about the future of the Lakers and are doing their best.

It's just that he has been with D'Antoni for 3 years, and a lot of things have happened in the middle, and the latter has been promoted, supported, and corrected back then, all of which have done a lot of anti-pressure. This is a real affection, plus they have won the championship together, you say that it is unrealistic to say that there is no emotion. So, even if he knew that the words of "Magic" were not wrong, he still didn't know how to face D'Antoni.

But this call, he had to make again. He is also the boss of the team, and at this time, the boss should act like a boss. Other players can not call, he, no. After thinking for a while, Tang Qian picked up his mobile phone again, found Deshuai's mobile phone number, and dialed it.

After a few rings, the phone was connected.

"Hey, sir, it's me, Tang Qian."

"Oh, it's hot, I'm still wondering when you're going to call me, it's going to be sooner than I thought."

……

In fact, D'Antoni also received this news, how could he be kept in the dark by the party? He saw that the Lakers weren't prepared to exercise the team option on his contract, and he knew what was going on. It's just that he has been here for 3 years and has also achieved brilliant results, and you say that it is impossible to have no feelings. He didn't even expect to leave so soon.

"We all know everything, there's no need to be too sad, it's normal for this league to be divided and combined, I just feel a little sorry that I can't coach you in the future. You're one of the brightest rising stars I've ever seen. I'm becoming more and more convinced of this. To tell you the truth, I was redesigning the system design on the first night of being eliminated, but unfortunately, I can't use it for the time being. ”

Mr. D'Antoni ...... What do you plan to do in the future? Do you have any plans to go to another team? ”

"Well, I really haven't thought about it now, but maybe, maybe we'll be rivals in the future."

"If it's an opponent, I won't show mercy, I respect you, but I never understand my opponent."

"Very good, that's it, this league is not NCAA, it's a player-oriented league, so if you can stay, stay here, Los Angeles, the Lakers, it's actually a good place, it's a good place to fight for life."

"I know sir, I will work hard, and if there is a chance in the future, we will meet again."

"Okay, hot, I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future."

While the Finals were still going on, Lakers fans were completely attracted by a piece of news, and that was the news sent by the Lakers' official website. The team, after much consideration, will not cooperate with Mike. D'Antoni is exercising the remaining contract option and we thank the boss for everything he has brought to us in those three years, he is a fantastic manager and we will always remember his dedication and dedication.

And before Lakers fans have fully digested the news, new big news has reappeared:

We have announced that we will sign Larry on a 3+1 basis. Mr. Brown, hopefully we can walk towards the light together in the future.

15 million in 4 years, a thousand miles of famous coaches into the Lakers, a new era of the Lakers is coming.

A lot of Lakers fans are talking about this, basically analyzing Larry. Brown came to the Lakers and D'Antoni on the Lakers, who was better. There are different opinions about who is better, but one thing is for sure, the Lakers' high-tempo, high-turn, high-game, high-point per game style of play last season is probably gone.

Whether this is good or bad, no one can say clearly now.

The finals fought very hard, and the two sides actually entered the tiebreaker, which is obviously what the president wants to see.

For this alone, the economic benefits of the alliance have not been improved by much to an unknown extent.

Suddenly, Adam. Xival also felt that Tang Qian had done a good thing, without him, the Cavaliers would definitely be difficult to defeat this year's Warriors, at least they would definitely not be able to fight for the seventh game. It's useless for him to be "biased". But now, everything is in order. Because of this, our president is considering whether to give the Lakers No. 29 a slight "reduction" when the time comes.

Because already with Larry. Brown signed so basically a phone greeting was needed, and the funniest thing was that Larry. Brown still has to coach high school students on Long Island for a few months. But anyway, the head coach just came before the start of the pre-match training camp, and no one objected. However, a phone call is a must, and as soon as the news is confirmed, Tang Qian got the new coach's private phone number and dialed it.

In just a few minutes of calling, Tang Qian had a first impression of the new coach.

This is a head coach who looks serious from the outside, but in fact he should be considered an almost strict person. What Robinson broke out should be true. He doesn't give more face to people who haven't been recognized by him, well, just say that he doesn't give face. His words are very simple, he said that he doesn't care what Tang Qian's reputation is, what his strength is, or what his current influence is, he just wants to see if he can coach and integrate into his own system.

To be honest, the attitude is really hard, and he is not the same kind of person as D'Antoni at all.

Also, if he thinks that you are a burden to the team and a little waste of the team, then he will really call you "little burden" and "little waste". It's not a lie to you at all, when he was in New York, he just didn't look down on "Little Potato" Nate. Robinson then publicly referred to the latter as "the." What does it mean? The urbane point is "little waste". The popular point is that the down-to-earth point is an American-style scolding, looking down on you, thinking that you are a "dog. "" is "s.b". Haha, don't believe it, he is such a personality person, extremely strong, and the Nuggets coach of the year, George. Carl is just as bad-tempered.

So the management and the players basically don't like him very much.

Unless you can resist his mental attacks, such as the Pistons, it will evolve into a "super civilian team", and the Lakers' lineup that was known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" will be destroyed for you. And it's not the "bad boy" of the 80s, it's just a clean and serious defense until the opponent suffocates. Well, in fact, there is something to say, the "Bad Boy Army" is very fierce and wild, but it is estimated that few people know that their defense is actually not so good. At least not as good as the Pistons team that entered the Finals in the 21st century. In the 80s, he reached the finals for three consecutive years, and basically lost more than 100 points in the regular season, and about 95 points in the playoffs. What about the 21st century's 2-game Pistons who made it to the Finals?

I'm afraid it scares you if I say it.

The points conceded in the regular season were all below 90 points, and even only 84+ in the year of the championship. The playoffs are even more terrifying, almost all of them are below 85+ points conceded. The year of the championship...... In the playoffs, he only conceded 80.7 points per game! In other words, if you play against the Pistons that year, you basically go down a game and don't want to score more than 80 points. The overall defensive shooting percentage makes the opponent less than 4 percent! So if you really want to build a defensive system, Larry. The Pistons team led by Brown is really not aimed at anyone in history.

But only if you can resist the manager's mouth cannon attacks.

Otherwise, if you can't bear it, you will either be annoyed and angry or become a depressed waste.

Secondly, this "old guy" really doesn't like the current atmosphere of the league, and he directly told Tang Qian that "winning the championship in a group" is not a kind of shortcut, but a bad child's behavior. He said that the gold content of such a champion is too low. It's not interesting to take it. He told Tang Qian that if the latter wanted to "take a shortcut", it was better to leave his whip as soon as possible, so as not to be disgraced when he got it.

This is really not what he said in this time and space, if Tang Qian can live longer, then he will definitely see what this "old guy" said in a video interview in 2017 (this is true, Xiaozi will also post it to the group later, you can join the group and watch it yourself). He thinks that anyone with high self-esteem would not do that. To put that way, it's really a ruthless crit blow to some people and the entire alliance.

It's a pity that the "old guy" talks like this, straight to the point, and even because of the media video, it has converged, in private, I don't know how to scold. With his violent temper, it's strange that he will say nice things.

When Tang Qian heard this, he was more respectful at first, and there was a fire behind him, and after suppressing the fire and hanging up the phone, he said to himself:

"This little old man has a pretty violent temper! But do you think the master will give in? I'll let you know how awesome you are! ”

"A left hook and a right hook, the person who provokes me is in danger."

"Look down on me? Strong? Dismounted? Temper tantrums??? ”

"Yes, your little grandfather happens to have all these things."

"Who's afraid of whom. It's just right. ”

ps: The new season has to sort out the details, and the offseason actions will be more frequent, don't worry, everything will surface~~~
