On the evening of February 17, at the Oakland Arena, the Warriors' opponent Grizzlies were waiting for the Warriors to arrive in the arena early, and a press conference was being held in the small room on the side of the arena.

Before the press conference began, the reporters in the audience knew that today was the day when the new head coach of the Warriors took office, but before that, they didn't get the slightest news, they didn't know who the Warriors had hired to take over the team, so when Richard, Chris Mullin, and Larry Foster walked into the small room, they were still looking behind the three.

They didn't see the fourth person as they wished, and they thought that the real manager was hiding outside the door, so when Richard took his seat, the scene was still quiet.

Chris Mullin first picked up the microphone and directly began to introduce Richard's new identity: "Fellow journalists, please allow me to introduce that this is Mr. Richard Cohan, who will be the new head coach of the Golden State Warriors and lead the team to play the second half of the season. ”

Wow! As soon as the words fell, all the reporters at the scene exclaimed, they couldn't believe that the new head coach of the Warriors was actually the young man in front of him who seemed to have Chinese ancestry, he was only in his 20s, right? Which NBA team has he coached before? Warriors, this is crazy!

All sorts of speculations began in the minds of this group of reporters, until a reporter who was familiar with the Warriors shouted, "Isn't this the Warriors' little boss?" ”

What the! Warriors' Little Boss! Is there a shady scene! In an instant, this group of reporters, who were originally very imaginative, turned around with a variety of ideas, what Richard Kohan took to the position with financial resources, what Richard Kohan pressured the team management to become the head coach of the team, etc., etc., in an instant, these reporters hacked Richard 10,000 times in their hearts!

Then, just a moment of silence, these reporters raised their hands and frantically asked for questions! The entire press conference was in a mess.

Faced with the chaos in front of him, Richard did not have the slightest nervousness, he sat firmly on Mount Tai and ordered a reporter casually.

"Hello, this Mr. Richard Cohan, as far as I know, the owner of the Warriors is cable industry tycoon Chris Cohan, what is your relationship with Chris Cohan?"

The first question, the reporters began to get to the bottom of the matter, Richard smiled, he didn't say that these reporters would also check it themselves, so he didn't shy away from saying: "Yes, that's right, Chris Cohan is my father, and I'm now the president of this Warriors, of course, I now have an additional identity, the new head coach of the Warriors." ”

As soon as Richard said this, it immediately caused a louder noise on the scene, and the boss's son became the head coach of the team! What is it for! Play professional basketball as a toy?

"So Mr. Richard Cohan, have you ever coached?"

"Nope!"

"So Mr. Richard, what do you think of your behavior in coaching the Warriors? Do you think coaching is fun? ”

"It's not! Of course not! ”

"Not? Mr. Richard, why did you come up with the idea of coaching? With your credentials, you shouldn't be on the NBA court at all! ”

The questions became more and more intense, and the reporters began to ask questions at will, and the press conference became a quick question and answer, and in the end, it even became a question.

"Qualifications? What kind of bullshit is that! ”

Qualifications! What kind of bullshit is that! Richard threw off his angry words and was about to turn around and leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at this group of sassy reporters, and Richard felt that his anger had not subsided, so before slamming the door and leaving, he dropped another sentence: "I will let you know that seniority is just bullshit in your mouth!" ”

Boom! The door was slammed shut, and at the same time, there was a loud noise in the small room, and Chris Mullin and Larry Foster, who were still at the press conference, looked at each other, they didn't know what to say, and at this moment, Richard was offended by this group of cautious reporters.

But if you think about it, you don't blame Richard for getting angry, if they were questioned and questioned, they would be angry too, right?

Richard left the scene of the press conference and went straight to the locker room, the team has been conducting a day and a half of tactical training, the small ball whirlwind tactics have begun to bear fruit, at least yesterday practiced a few sets of blocking and dismantling, the players can use it, as long as they can find the feel, the game will not be too bad. Richard walked into the locker room and looked at the group of players who were busy preparing for the game, and he decided to say a few words: "Everyone, stop for a moment, I want to say a few words about tonight's game." ”

"Tonight's game was my debut in Richard Cohan's coaching career, the first game since we made a big change, and we had Michael [Reed], Raff [Alstom] and Kenny [Thomas] in the squad, all youngsters, and the addition of these new young guys will make a big difference for us! So, in this game, we must play our own style! Don't hesitate to shoot, be decisive, and don't lose confidence even if you can't shoot! Your time has just begun! I don't want to win or lose this game, but you have to play the tactics I want! ”

After some encouragement, Richard announced the starting lineup for the evening game, and the starting lineup still made Richard hesitate for a while, because the Warriors' backcourt is too clear, Michael Reed is a typical shooter, but in terms of scoring guard, it is best to let Larry Hughes start, after all, Larry Hughes has a good defense.

But if Michael Reed is not allowed to start, the small-ball whirlwind tactics will be greatly discounted, and in the end, Richard can only take a compromise and let Larry Hughes play as a small forward, leaving a place for Michael Reid to start.

"The starters for today's game are, center Eric Dampele, power forward Antoine Jamison, small forward Larry Hughes, shooting guard Michael Reed, point guard Bob Sula, remember, stick to our tactics until I tell you to make a change!" Richard quickly arranged the starting and opening tactics, and when he heard that he was placed at the small forward position, Larry Hughes was visibly stunned.

He was a little upset, and Larry Hughes felt that he had been abandoned, by Richard for the reason that the new Michael Reed! Originally, he was the No. 2 scorer on the team, and in the Warriors, Larry Hughes was the offensive and defensive core on the outside, but now, not only that Michael Reed grabbed his starting point guard position, but also in Richard Cohan's tactics, his tactical position has changed from an offensive and defensive core to a single defensive core, which makes Larry Hughes very unhappy!

Larry Hughes's upset, Richard didn't know this, he asked Larry Hughes to play the starting small forward, but he felt that with Larry Hughes's body, it was enough to deal with the players at the small forward position. And Richard also knew that Larry Hughes had played at the small forward position, so he made the decision to let Larry Hughes play as a small forward.

But what Richard doesn't know is that Larry Hughes looks at Michael Reed differently, maybe Larry Hughes is willing to play a cameo role as a small forward, but he may not be willing to make a cameo appearance as a small forward because of giving way to others, because Richard is inexperienced, just his first game in office, the team has secretly bred problems, but it is still far from breaking out this problem.

……

Richard wants to win this game, because their opponent is the Grizzlies, the bottom of the West, and the previous Warriors, they are all completely bad teams, in fact, Lee perceives that this Grizzlies team is even worse, because the Grizzlies don't even have a decent player, and the Warriors still have Jamison and Larry Hughes, which is different.

On his debut as a coach, Richard's goal is to win, and he wants to get off to a good start!

But it seems that the Grizzlies didn't want Richard to get his wish......
