Chapter Twenty-Eight: God First, Me Second
On Qiao Hai's first day in office, Stan Lorefour also came.
After a few days of thinking, Stamreford finally agreed to accept Qiao Hai's offer to join the Lakers as an assistant coach.
The two met at the Lakers training gym, and as soon as they met, Stan Lorefour patted Qiao Hai.
"Joe, I really didn't expect that after a few days of hard work, you will become the head coach again."
Qiao Hai smiled: "I'm lucky. ”
Stan Lefu shook his head: "It's not luck that can explain it, I think maybe you were born to be a coach." ”
Qiao Hai continued to laugh, this time he didn't speak, indeed, counting that system, he was indeed born to be a coach.
Take Stamrefour to Mitch Kupchak's office and sign a contract for Stamreford.
Qiao Hai took the people to the place and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Kupchak.
"Joe, you wait, I have something to tell you."
Qiao Hai nodded, stayed where he was, and sat down on the sofa.
Stamreford quickly signed the contract, and like Qiao Hai's first contract, he said hello to Qiao Hai after signing it and left the office.
Johi changed places and sat across from Michkupchak.
"What's the matter, Mickey."
Mitch Kupchak smiled: "Good thing. ”
As he spoke, he took out a document from his side and handed it to Qiao Hai.
"Kurt has mentioned two deals before, is that your opinion?"
Qiao Hai nodded.
"There is news about both trades, first of all, the Eddie Jones trade, the Toronto Raptors rejected our trade offer, but the Houston Rockets agreed, but they asked us to increase the weight, want to have an extra second-round pick, and in addition, in order to match the salary, we need to take Elden Campbell."
Qiao Hai looked down at the documents, he had already found the details of the trade from the documents handed to him by Mitch Kupchak: "The second-round pick is not given, tell the Rockets that Eddie is a young player, so it should be that they give us an extra second-round pick." ”
In another trade, the Celtics also agreed to sell Bruce Bowen, but they were only willing to trade alone and were not willing to take other chips.
This deal, Qiao Hai thought about it and nodded: "Agree with the Celtics' proposal, Tony Barty for Bruce Bowen alone." ”
This deal, Qiao Hai is not going to rip off, Bruce Bowen must be worth more than Tony Barty, at least this deal will not be lost, and the Lakers do not lack interior substitutes, but outside players, in Qiao Hai's tactics, the more the merrier.
Mitch Kupchak nodded: "Alright then, I'll inform Celtic that the deal is complete." ”
The Rockets' trade has to continue to rip off, although it is only a second-round pick, Qiao Hai is not ready to let it go, because this deal is not profitable, it is only because he wants to play a triangle tactic that he chose Scott Pippen as a trade object, if he takes another second-round pick, it will be a big loss.
Therefore, this deal can continue to rip off and force the Rockets to relent.
Leaving Mitch Kupchek's office, Joe went to the conference room first, where he was going to meet with his coaching staff.
The coaching staff now consists of three people, Byron Scott and Jim Eden, who have been left by Cortlanbis, and Stamrefour, who has just arrived.
The three of them had already greeted each other in the conference room, and Qiao Hai, who came in at the end, knew each other with the three of them, smiled and nodded, even if they had said hello.
"Okay, guys, let's talk about the current state of the team and how to change it......
The four of them had a meeting and discussed the team's main issues at the moment.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss, the main problem of the Lakers now Qiao Hai is very clear, that is, the preseason training is not well prepared, there is no fixed tactical system, and because of continuous losses, the atmosphere in the team is extremely poor.
Therefore, if you want to save this Lakers, you must solve the above problems.
Qiao Hai also had an idea, the pre-season training was insufficient, so he used the training plan automatically formed by the system to make up for it, and there was no fixed tactical system, Qiao Hai used the 98% proficiency triangle offensive tactical board to solve it.
As for the atmosphere in the team, Qiao Hai has also thought about it, first of all, he needs a helper, and this helper is sitting in front of him.
That's right, it's Byron Scott, Byron Scott is a famous name of the Lakers, the main force of the Lakers Showtime era, and he also has a certain prestige in the Lakers.
He was going to wait for the meeting to end and talk to Byron Scott one-on-one, and before that, Qiao Hai first assigned the task.
"Here's a training plan for all the Lakers, brand new, so that, Jim, you're in charge of all the outside players, Stan, you're in charge of all the inside players, in the morning we do individual training, in the afternoon we work on triangles, we've already started practice, and then we can practice on it."
After arranging the training task, Qiao Hai disbanded the meeting and called Byron Scott.
"Byron, you stay."
Byron Scott didn't know why, but he kept it anyway.
When Stan and Jim went out to organize training, Qiao Hai turned over a document: "The team is still short of a head assistant coach, I recommended you to Mr. Jerry West, this is a contract, if you think it's okay, you can sign it." ”
This contract was asked by Qiao Hai from Mitch Kupchek, and he thought about using the position of chief assistant coach in exchange for Byron Scott to help him wholeheartedly.
Byron Scott took the contract and looked at it, but Qiao Hai shook his head in surprise.
"Joe, I don't want to wade through muddy waters, so ...... I refuse. ”
This made Qiao Hai a little surprised, but he still smiled: "I guessed the reason, but I have to say, Byron, you are too unconfident in me." ”
Byron Scott continued to shake his head: "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, but the Lakers mess can't really be solved by a rookie head coach, because you can't make Shaq, Kobe and Eddie obey at the same time." ”
"But with your help, I can."
Byron Scott waved his hand: "No, I can't either, so I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't take over this mess, but I really didn't expect that you would take over anyway." ”
Qiao Hai was helpless: "Forget it, if you don't sign it, you won't sign it, I'll find another way." ”
With that, Qiao Hai withdrew the contract.
Byron Scott chuckled and shook his head: "Then can I leave?" ”
"Okay, let Jim come over and you'll take care of the day-to-day training for the perimeter players." Since Byron Scott was unwilling to help him, Qiao Hai was not polite and directly sent Byron Scott to be in charge of training.
Byron Scott didn't say anything, nodded, and left.
Jim Eden then came in, and Joe Hay didn't expect Jim Eden to help him with anything, except that he had to readjust the mission.
"Jim, I've handed over the training of the outside players to Byron, and now, your task has changed, this is the training book for the triangle offensive tactics, you see, organize the players to fight in groups in the afternoon."
Jim Eden nodded.
Qiao Hai exhaled heavily: "Let's go, let the players gather." ”
At the moment, Qiao Hai is a little nervous, since Byron Scott is not ready to help him, he has to establish his prestige in the team in another way.
At this time, Qiao Hai thought of a person, a word.
Jose Mourinho said in his first training session at Chelsea: "In this world, God comes first and I come second. ”
