Chapter Seventy-Seven: Acting Head Coach Davidson

Daddy and Davidson returned to their seats.

"Be careful with that old fox in the future." Daddy whispered.

Davidson nodded, he didn't expect this to happen tonight.

But Davidson didn't pay much attention to it, just like his father once told him, as long as the strength is strong, this alliance can go sideways.

As a coach, as long as you can lead the team to play well, as long as you can generate revenue for the team, then even if you offend all your peers in the league, it is not a big deal.

……

The turmoil at the draft seems to have passed, but everyone knows that the good show must be yet to come.

……

The Nets also had a 48th pick in the second round, and Davidson selected a 201-centimeter-tall small forward, Jamil Watson.

This Watson had tried out for Davidson before, and his performance was actually average, but now that he has reached this level, he is already the best choice.

If you choose, you will choose, and if you choose it, you may not use it anyway, and you can't throw this second-round lottery in vain.

……

Stern had just announced the end of the draft, and Larry Brown immediately left with a grim face.

In this draft, he not only failed to get the player he wanted, but also lost face by the old and the young.

Davidson naturally couldn't leave, and agreed with Green Kai that a joint press conference would be held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to announce the transaction.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." Chris Ford came up and gave Davidson a hug.

He wondered why the Nets only sent a young Davidson to such an important deal.

But after tonight's incident, he felt that the young man in front of him was not simple.

Just having the courage to stand up and disgust Larry Brown is not something that ordinary young people dare to do.

……

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Nets and Green Kai held a joint press conference to announce the details of the transaction between the two parties.

The outside media had already gotten the news of this deal in advance, after all, Larry Brown was disgraced by last night's incident, and naturally someone revealed the news.

A reporter was going to ask Chuck Daley and Davidson about the incident with Larry Brown last night, but the old man did not answer it positively.

After the press conference, the two returned directly to New Jersey.

Dad seemed to have become a hands-off shopkeeper, and all the training tasks of the team's offseason were handed over to Davidson to arrange.

Of course, Davidson knew that his father was tempering his business ability, so he naturally accepted it gladly.

……

In the club, several people are now waiting for Mu Tiezhu's teammates to arrive, and then they are ready to prepare, and when the new season begins, they can start playing the rankings.

If all goes well, then after the start of the new season, the group can be established as a stronghold for Yan Huang in New Jersey Club.

The strength of Mu Tiezhu and Lao Wang must have no problem playing on the list.

The upcoming Mu Tiezhu battle teammates are estimated to have no problems......

The only ones are Sledgehammer and Davidson, who are also quite worried now.

The two of them were afraid that they would drag the other three back......

Both of them have gained a lot of benefits, and it will be embarrassing if they can't be on the list by then.

……

In August, the Nets already had an early training camp for newcomers.

Davidson finally met Jalen Rose.

The first impression was not bad, although there would be a hint of arrogance in his expression, but in the face of Davidson, a young assistant coach, he was still quite respectful, and there was no situation where Davidson was taken seriously.

Judging from the training effect, Jalen Rose's performance is still quite satisfactory to Davidson.

After all, it is a player who participated in the draft after his junior year, that is, his combat power is still quite good, but if you want to talk about untapped potential, it must not be much.

Dad also took a day to watch the training of the newcomers, and he was quite satisfied with Jalen Rose's performance.

If nothing else, Jalen Rose will get a direct chance to start this new season.

Although Edwards said that after the start of the new season, he will return after the injury recovery, but no one can say what the specific situation is.

Because of an injury, the situation of going straight from a star to a passerby, the NBA has a lot of people.

What's more, Edwards is not a star-level player in his own right.

If he recovers well, he could regain the starting point guard position, with Jalen Rose playing the starting small forward position, and Morris, the former starting small forward, being put off the bench.

If the recovery is not good, then the only way to put forward swingman Jalen Rose in the starting second position.

……

The current Davidson is looking forward to the arrival of the new season, and the current Nets can be said to be strong, and they will definitely not stop at the East this season.

In mid-September, the team's veteran players also joined the training camp.

From the perspective of the effect of the training camp, the addition of Jalen Rose has increased the offensive and defensive intensity of the Nets' backcourt by more than a notch.

According to Davidson's guess, the overall strength of Jalen Rose on both offensive and defensive ends is estimated to be at the level of Edwards when he is healthy.

By the end of half a season, Jalen Rose at that time was fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and with his physical hardware far superior to Edwards, it was not difficult to surpass Edwards in overall strength.

At the beginning of October, the pre-season round arrived.

What left Willis Reed speechless was that Dad directly took a leave of absence from illness and appointed Davidson to lead the team in this summer league.

He also exercised in the gym with his father for half an hour two days ago, and his father was alive and well that day, why did he suddenly get sick?

Daddy is naturally not sick, he wants to use the preseason game as an inconsequential game to make Davidson find the feeling of coaching on the sidelines.

If Daddy's idea of paving the way for Davidson wasn't obvious before, it's now a complete showdown......

Don't pretend, the showdown is to send Davidson to the position of head coach.

Willis Reed had heard Daddy mention it before, and he thought it was a joke.

Now, it seems that it is really not a joke, Chuck Daley is really so mad that he wants to train the twenty-three-year-old Davidson to be his successor.

On October 3, the Nets ushered in the first preseason game of the new season, and Davidson began to lead the players as acting head coach.

Tolbert followed Davidson, his face strange.

He never imagined that Davidson would become his immediate boss in the blink of an eye.

Although it was only temporary, it still made Tolbert feel strange in his heart.

He didn't blame Daddy Chuck, after all, if it weren't for Daddy Chuck, he would be just an ordinary assistant teacher now, and he would have no chance of becoming the chief assistant teacher.
