In the afternoon, KC Jones came to report to the team.

The Lord of the Rings, who holds twelve rings, seems to be a winner in life, but in fact, he is a little too high and too low. Except for the two championships he led to the Celtics, his coaching record on other teams has been mediocre.

KC Jones's character is a typical good old man, and the media evaluation is calm and low-key, very gentlemanly, never takes high-pressure measures, and always maintains a calm and calm.

may also be because of this kind of indifferent good old man character, he can achieve great success with a generation of superstars such as Larry Bird in the past and Cardinal Auerbach in the back, but in a different environment, let him really be the big boss, he can't stand up the shelf.

Now Jones is too old for a team to hire. The old man wanted to go back to Boston to spend his old age, but who wanted to come back to work for a year, and the peerless famous coach Rick Pitino arrived, and the original team collapsed, so he had to pack his bags and leave again.

Hearing that the Knicks hired him as a vice president, KC Jones was very happy and enthusiastically talked with Li Weipan for a long time. When it comes to team building, he's really well-informed.

Li Wei's qualifications in the basketball field are too shallow, and he likes this kind of indisputable and experienced old man very much, and the more the two chat, the happier they become.

After that, two more celebrities arrived at the team's training hall, namely Holzman, the honorary chairman for life hired by Li Wei, and Dave Debusschel, a senior consultant!

"Oh, Mr. Holzman, why are you here? You just have to rest in the hospital! Li Weicheng said in fear.

Holzman was carried on a single stand. He shook his pale hand and said, "I really want to go back to the team to see it again, maybe it's the last time I'll come back to see it, what's the matter, you're not welcome?" ”

Li Weidao: "How can I not welcome it? Don't say anything, go to the president's room and rest! ”

The change in the management of the Knicks was quickly revealed by the media. This is probably the only positive news for the team in a few days.

However, there is always inertia in public opinion.

Li Wei's previous series of operations made everyone develop the habit of criticizing the Knicks when they encountered them, and the fans in the righteous indignation saw several celebrities entering the management, and most of them were opposed.

"This guy is just putting on a show, Holzman can't even move, what's the use of being an honorary chairman?"

"That's it, if you really want to do a good job, you don't want to sell Ewing!"

"When you were trading Big Mom, did you ask Big D? Didn't he slap your face? ”

"KC Jones as VP? I think he deserves to be the president! ”

Unbeknownst to the rambling fans, the Knicks held their first high-level meeting that afternoon, and probably the only one, with a full number of people. Because of future meetings, Holzman, the seriously ill honorary chairman, could not come again.

At the meeting, Li Wei said solemnly: "Regarding the selection of the team's head coach, I personally think that Chuck Daley is the most suitable. He was the head coach of the Dream First Team, and he has a reputation and unparalleled ability, and there is no better coach in basketball today. ”

"Isn't Chuck Daley retired? Do you want to ask him to come back out of the mountains? Dennis Johnson was stunned.

Dick McGuire frowned and said, "Chuck's ability is not to be said, but he is so old, will he coach again?" ”

Big D said: "Chuck is a figure at the same level as our Coach Holzmann, famous all over the world, I don't think you can invite him." ”

Li Wei said: "I also know that this matter is difficult, so I want to ask you for help." If it was easy to invite, I would have invited it now, so how could I discuss it with you here? ”

Holzman, who was lying on the bed, said, "Little one, you really like us old things!" Well, I'll give him a call in a moment, whether I can get it or not, it's my last heart for New York. ”

Li Wei said: "That's so thankful. However, with your physical condition, you can't talk too long when you call, just greet Mr. Daley for me! ”

Holzman waved his hand and said, "I know it in my heart." ”

KC Jones said: "Then I'll make a phone call, we were old rivals at the beginning. Later, when I went to the Pistons as an assistant coach, he wasn't there anymore, which was a shame. ”

Big D said: "I'll fight one too, I'm a piston celebrity anyway." Speaking of this as head coach on the Pistons, Chuck Daley is more than twenty years later than me! ”

Jeff Nick said, "Haha, you're showing off your youngest head coach again!" ”

Dick McGuire laughs, "I'll make a phone call too, and at the same time find some old friends who worked in the Pistons, and beat the side drums!" Haha, I also worked as a player and coach at the Pistons back then, and that was in '59, before Big D. It's really hard to play and coach at the same time! ”

Big D said: "That's right, I picked up your mess back then!" ”

McGuire laughed and said, "As a result, you lead the team even worse!" ”

Big D sighed: "I was still too young at that time, after all, we are the youngest coach in history!" ”

Jeff Nick: "David, we still have an old subordinate of Chuck in the coaching team, please Chuck this kind of thing, you can't miss him!" ”

Li Wei's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about Brandon Malone?" ”

Van Gundy's assistant coaching team consists of four people, namely No. 1 assistant coach Don Cheney, offensive assistant coach Greg Brydenham, defensive assistant coach Brandon Malone, and Jeff Nick and Tom Hiberdu.

Brandon Malone was the assistant defensive coach who helped Chuck Daley build the Pistons' Bad Boys defensive system. Malone has long been regarded as the NBA's leading expert on defending Jordan, and the Detroit Pistons' defense has caused Jordan's Bulls to fail year after year.

Later, Daley left the Pistons, and Brandon Malone was hired by the Raptors to take up the job of head coach. But after the prestigious assistant coach became the head coach, the results of leading the team were terrible, and he was fired after a year.

At this time, the Knicks' coaching staff also changed. Pat Riley, a famous coach, defected to Miami to become a godfather, and the new coach Nelson Sr. was ousted by the team management because he wanted to trade Ewing, and assistant coach Van Gundy was corrected.

Van Gundy was originally the team's assistant coach in charge of defense, but after becoming the head coach, Jeff Nick was too old to take care of things, so he hired Brandon Malone, a defensive expert who had just stepped down from the Raptors.

Now, Brandon Malone has been with the Knicks for a full year, Van Gundy's defensive system is well maintained by him, and the Knicks are still the defensive powerhouse that makes the whole league fearful!

With a sweep of his eyes, Li Wei immediately saw Tom Hiberdu, the famous handsome in his previous life sitting at the very end, so he waved his hand and said, "Tom, go and invite Brandon!" ”

Tom Hiberdoux immediately went to hire someone, who called him the least qualified!

To be honest, last year, Tom Hiberdeau followed behind Jeff Van Gundy, Brandon Malone, and Jeff Nick, but he has grown a lot, and his whole mind is all about defense. He really wants the team to bring in Chuck Daley, who is the father of the Bad Boy Army and the living ancestor of the Iron Blood!

"You want to invite Mr. Daley?" Brandon Malone, who rushed over, was overjoyed when he heard the words of Li Wei and others.

The years under Chuck Daly were the pinnacle of his life, and the Pistons' two championships also had a share of his credit!

That personable old handsome man has a special personality charm that can bring everyone together!

"I'll call Mr. Daley right away. Not long ago, I heard him say that he has been idle for too long, and some of them want to move, but they are afraid that they will be too old to be able to do heavy coaching work. Boss, Coach Daley is the most amazing person I've ever met, if you want to hire him, you have to be sincere, not rude! ”

Li Weidao: "Don't worry, I am absolutely sincere." All you have to do is say hello to me, and if it's convenient, I'd like to visit Mr. Daley in person, but I don't know if he'll be able to find time. ”

"Then I'll make an appointment for you." Brandon Malone said.

Standing next to Brandon Malone and looking at his phone, Li Wei suddenly became a little nervous.

Coaches such as Larry Brown and Larry Bird all belong to the kind of people who want to find a job after losing their jobs, but when they meet him, they still don't give face. A world-famous coach like Chuck Daley will definitely be more critical of the team, and the Knicks have had so much negative news recently, can the team really hire him?
