"Well, Phil, if only I could be head coach with the Knicks." Holzman sighed faintly.

As the most successful coach of the Knicks, Holzman still has a Knicks complex in his heart. It's a pity that the best coach in history among his disciples left the Bulls and led the Bulls team that was in full swing, picking out the Knicks every year.

Phil Jackson smiled: "I also wanted to stay with the Knicks, but the Knicks didn't want me." They want to get a famous coach, they like Rick Pitino, they like Pat Riley! ”

Willis Reed said: "What about Pat Riley, who hasn't been eliminated by you every year?" Phil, we've got to go out for a drink in a moment! ”

Big D shouted, "Willis, are you a little principled?" Now the Bulls are our Knicks' sworn enemies! ”

Jeff Nick said, "What's the use of you telling Willis this?" He had already defected to the Nets! ”

"Haha, I almost forgot, the Nets are also our Knicks' opponents!" Big D laughs.

"The Knicks' nemesis shouldn't be the Bulls, it's not the Nets, it's the Celtics. We and the Celtics are the only two teams that have joined the league since the early days of the BAA and have never moved to a city. We should have been like the Yankees and the Red Sox, or like the Jets and the Patriots, banging up and making fans all over New York scream! ”

Boston is the center of higher education and health care in the northeastern United States, the most educated city in the United States, and the sports atmosphere is very strong, while New York is the largest city in the United States!

There are four major ball games in the United States, and basketball is just one of them. In baseball, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are mortal enemies, and in football, the New York Jets and the Boston Patriots are also mortal enemies!

Only basketball, the New York Knicks have never been the sworn enemy of the Boston Celtics, and the sworn enemy of the Celtics is another big club, the purple and gold Lakers!

Big D said: "Coach, we can't compare with the Celtics, they have sixteen championships. ”

Holzman looked at Li Wei and said, "Yes, they have sixteen champions, we only have two, and we are still fourteen champions!" ”

Li Wei smiled: "Mr. Holzman, my goal in buying the team is to make our championship count surpass that of the Celtics!" Phil, when don't you want to be in the Bulls, welcome back to our Knicks, when the time comes, we will work together, and fourteen championships will definitely be in hand. ”

Phil Jackson shook his head slightly. The biggest disagreement between him and Bulls general manager Klaus is that Klaus wants to sell veterans such as Pippen in exchange for young potential players, but he wants to keep the championship-winning team.

As soon as Li Wei arrived at the Knicks, he sold all the old players such as Ewing, which made Phil Jackson feel that this guy and Klaus were the same thing!

So the No. 1 head coach in history said: "Over the years, I've led the Bulls all the way forward, and I'm really tired. If I leave the Bulls one day, I won't be coaching any team anymore and I just want to take a break! ”

Li Wei said: "Phil, don't say it so absolutely, maybe one day, you still want to coach again?" ”

Phil Jackson said, "Haha, even if I coach again, I will never come to the Knicks." My teacher is the greatest coach of the Knicks and I will never try to surpass him here! ”

Holzman said, "No, no, Phil, I welcome you to come to the Knicks to surpass me!" ”

Phil Jackson said, "I'll never do this kind of thing." ”

On this day, Li Wei not only chatted with many celebrities in the ward, but also participated in their dinner. The former Knicks players are all friendly to him, the current Knicks president, but Phil Jackson is lukewarm.

Seeing that Willis Reed, the vice president of the tennis team, was also courteous to Phil, Li Wei understood that it was impossible for him to get this famous coach this year, and the probability of getting him in the future was also very slim.

Just as Duncan and James will be robbed by all teams, Phil Jackson, who has proven his strength, is Duncan and James in the coaching world, except for the Heat with Pat Riley, all other teams may want to invite him home!

"It's hard, it's hard, it's hard to find a good coach!" Li Wei sighed.

However, after leaving the hotel where the old Knicks gathered, Li Wei suddenly felt that maybe he didn't need to find the kind of hot, middle-aged coach, and it was not bad to find a respected coach among the old coaches.

Speaking of respected old coaches, the best way to find it is to take out the top ten coaches officially selected by the league in 96 and compare them one by one to see what else has slipped through the net.

Who are the top 10 coaches?

Cardinal Auerbach, God Operator Pat Riley, Zen Master Phil Jackson, and Mad Scientist Old Nelson, these four are not to be mentioned, Li Wei has been looking at them and drooling, but he can't get it!

John Kudal, the prehistoric coach who led the Lakers to six championships in the forties and fifties. The first time they coached a team, World War II wasn't over yet, and the NBA didn't show up.

He led the Lakers to an NBL championship and then a BAA championship. By the time the BAA and NBL merged to form the current NBA, Kudal won four more championships. Kudar, who is now 80 or 90 years old, will not be able to pick up the whip again!

Half of the top ten famous marshals can't get their hands on it, and the remaining five, Holzmann, definitely can't, people are so sick that they can't get out of bed!

And four more!

Wilkens, the famous coach of the Thousand Miles, is now the head coach of the Eagles, and his contract has not expired, so it is impossible to come!

Bill Fitch, the famous coach of a thousand defeats, is now the head coach of the Clippers, and his contract has not expired, so it is impossible to come!

Then there are only two candidates left.

Chuck Daley, Jack Ramsay!

Li Wei's eyes widened and he shouted, "Oops, Chuck Daley! Damn, how did I forget Chuck Daley! The head coach of the Knicks, it has to be Chuck Daley! ”

There's a reason why Li Wei is so excited.

Chuck Daley was the head coach of the Bad Boy Army in the late '80s and early '90s, and led the Pistons to defeat the Lakers with Magic, the Celtics with Bird, and the Bulls with Jordan, reaching the Finals three times and winning two championships.

If it weren't for the injury of Isiah Thomas in the first Finals, which led to the Lakers narrowly winning Game 6 by one point and successfully dragging the game to a tie-break, Chuck Daley may have achieved three consecutive championships long before Phil Jackson!

Chuck Daley is even more famous for the fact that the team he led did not have MVP-level players, but they were still able to defeat the peak gods and demons in the sky and achieve consecutive championships. In comparison, although the four on the President Hill have many rings, each of them has an epic superstar who is talented and popular with half the sky!

Cardinal's Bill Russell, Riley's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Popovich's Duncan, and Phil Jackson's Jordan, Sharks, and Kobe Bryant are all among the top 10 favorites in history.

And what about Chuck Daley? The biggest card in his hand, Isiah Thomas, let alone winning MVP, is almost at the bottom of the MVP selection every year.

The person who led a civilian team to achieve consecutive championships, and almost won three consecutive championships, is the only one, and there is no other branch!

In 92, the invincible Dream Team, which outscored the opponent by 43.8 points, is known as the strongest team in history, and the coach is also the strongest in history, he is Chuck Daley!

In Li Wei's favorite anime "Slam Dunk", the prototype of Coach Anzay is also Chuck Daley!

It can be said that in the entire NBA's ranking of famous coaches, in addition to the four on President Hill and the ancient coach Kudal, there are Chuck Daley and Holzman. In terms of coaching ability, Chuck Daley is not necessarily worse than the four on President Hill, because Pat Riley and Phil Jackson have both been defeated at his hands, or superstars of the level of Abdul-Jabbar and Jordan have been defeated by civilian teams!

The supreme lifetime achievement award in the coaching world was named after Chuck Daley!

If Li Wei wants to get a good coach, there will definitely be no better choice than Chuck Daley!

Compared with Chuck Daley, Jack Ramsay is a little inferior. He was the head coach of the Trail Blazers in the '70s and '80s, and he led the Trail Blazers to their only championship in franchise history.

Both are now TV commentators, Chuck Daley on Turner TV and Jack Ramsay on ESPN. In terms of age, Chuck Daley is younger, and from the resume, Chuck Daley has just left the league for three years, while Jake Ramsey has not coached for almost a decade.

The young president still remembers that Chuck Daley, who was famous all over the world in his previous life, came back to coach, well, it should be this year, and the team he coached was the Magic.

The Magic team used to have two superstars, O'Neal and Hardaway. They let O'Neill go, and Hardaway was injured.

Chuck Daley didn't expect to take over an injury stall himself, with few healthy players available. But even with the Magic's staggering 275 injuries, he still led the team to a 41-41 record.

If you are in the West, there is no problem at all for such a record to enter the playoffs, but unfortunately in the eighties and nineties, the league is strong in the East and weak in the West, and the Magic, who are located in the East Division, can't even enter the playoffs!

After two seasons with the Magic, Chuck Daley retired permanently and never coached the NBA since.

Thinking of Chuck Daley's brief comeback, Li Wei said secretly: "I want to invite Chuck Daley to New York before the Magic team!" ”
