Chapter Eighty-Seven: The King's Invitation

After leaving the general manager's office sullenly, Dad drove Davidson home.

"Daddy, guess who called me this afternoon?" Davidson said with a smile in the car.

Daddy shook his head.

"Kings!"

"They actually called me and wanted to ask me to join their coaching staff." Davidson said with a smile.

When he received the call in the afternoon, Davidson was actually quite surprised, and he didn't expect the Kings to dig himself at this point in time.

Dad suddenly became interested, and the Kings poached their assistant coach at this point in time, which surprised him quite a lot.

"What did they say? It's impossible to poach you as a teaching assistant, right? What's the difference between that and the Nets? Fools will pass. ”

"In terms of salary, the king can't give it randomly, and the 200,000 assistant coaches given by the Nets are enough." Daddy asked with a smile.

He was curious about what kind of chips the king had given when he dug into his corner.

"They promised me that if I got a great rookie in the June draft, I would be the team's head assistant coach." Davidson spoke out the chips the Kings tossed.

Daddy waved his hand, "If I'm not mistaken, it was Jerry Reynolds' old boy who called you, right?" ”

Davidson nodded, the call was indeed from Kings general manager Reynolds.

"Don't bother with him, he's dying now, and maybe after this season, he's going to be fired." Daddy said with a smile.

He was well aware of the situation in the alliance and was naturally well aware of the current situation of the king.

General manager Reynolds began his role as head coach of the Kings in '86 and, like Willis Reed, rose from coach to general manager of the team.

In the four years since he took office in December '89, the Kings have had a terrible record, with only about 20 wins per season.

Daddy got the news that at the end of the season, Reynolds will be stepping down and the team will hire a new general manager.

So Dad told Davidson not to bother with Reynolds, the other party was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and when the time came, how could he take care of Davidson.

The new general manager cares about the agreement between Davidson and Reynolds.

"Well, I had no intention of going to the king right now, anyway."

"But, Daddy, since you know that the King is going to change the general manager, why don't you try it, Sidney is in Saramento, don't you want to live with them?"

Sidney, whom Davidson refers to, is Dadney's only child, Sidney Daley.

Dad is such a daughter, so he is naturally very fond of him, but Sidney settled in Saramento after getting married, and he can see each other twice a year when he goes to the king to play away.

Now the general manager on the king's side is about to change, which is really suitable for Dad.

Davidson's words also made my father's heart move, and if he competed for the position of general manager at that time, there should be no problem.

After all, his qualifications are there, even if he leaves the Pistons, the merit of managing the fish belly Nets into such a strong team in the past two years is enough for Dad to get the position of general manager of the Kings.

In this alliance, the insiders who can compete with Daddy can be counted in one slap.

"Let's talk about it, let's see the situation first."

"We have to win this season, and we'll think about it in the long term after we win it." Daddy said with a smile.

Davidson's words still made him quite excited, but he really had the idea of retiring, so he had to think about it again for now.

……

The next day, Reynolds, the king's general manager, called Davidson again.

Davidson naturally declined Reynolds' invitation, and now that the Kings are in turmoil, let alone just a promise from a head assistant, even if Davidson is promised a head coach, Davidson will definitely not be able to go.

Because once Reynolds is gone, all the promises will be a dead letter.

……

In the blink of an eye, the annual All-Star Weekend is about to begin.

Jalen Rose was named to the rookie challenge lineup.

It may be that the team names of the All-Star Passion Team and the Talent Team were not well received last time, so this rookie challenge uses the team names of the white team and the green team, and it is still all rookie players.

Jalen Rose was selected for the Green team, and although he did not perform well, in the end, the White team won and Eddie Jones won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

In the next All-Star Game, Davidson came to watch the game in person this time.

Because the Nets' record ranks first in the East, Daddy is qualified to lead the Eastern All-Star team this year.

Not only is Daddy leading the All-Star, but Murraysan is also selected for the All-Star team this year, although he is only a substitute player, but as a sophomore rookie, and he is also a rookie center in the heyday of the center, it is not easy to be selected as an All-Star in the second year.

Coleman and Kenny Anderson, who started the All-Stars last season, have not had such a good season this season.

The Magic's record soared this season, and Penny Hardaway directly squeezed out Coleman to get the Eastern Conference All-Star forward starting position.

As for the backfield, Reggie Miller and this year's newcomer Grant Hill qualified to start.

Hill has been amazing this year, not only did he get the All-Star starter qualification in his rookie season, but what is even more terrifying is that he is also the vote king of this year's All-Star vote!

This newcomer with a gorgeous style of play and comprehensive skills, known as Jordan's successor, has only played for half a season, but his popularity is quite hot, and the number of fans is terrifying.

Davidson also asked Daddy what he thought of this Grant Hill.

After all, the Pistons that Hill plays for are Daddy's home base......

Daddy just shook his head, and his evaluation of Grant Hill was that he was good, but he was too bells and whistles, and he was not that kind of practical type of star.

If you take a closer look at the players that Daddy coached with the Pistons, they are all unpretentious players, and there are no players like Grant Hill at all.

Davidson is quite convinced of his father's vision, since his father has said so, Davidson is naturally not very optimistic about Hill's future prospects.

Daddy has had a deep influence on Davidson since he was a child, so now Davidson is not very optimistic about these bells and whistles......

It stands to reason that at Davidson's age, he must like players with a gorgeous style of play, but Davidson is obviously a little special, and his taste is a little old-fashioned......

Murraysan entered the All-Star team, although his performance on the court was not very eye-catching, and he only had 4 points and 4 rebounds in the whole game, but Davidson still got a reward of 2,000 evolution coins.

What puzzled Davidson was that it had been nearly two years since he had been qualified as a buyer, but he had never triggered the task of obtaining an item like Mammoth's Heart.

I asked Sledgehammer and Lao Wang, but they couldn't figure it out......

Davidson wondered if the assistant wasn't qualified enough to trigger this type of task.
