Chapter 12: The New Head Coach Conundrum

Perhaps it was because of Keynes's reminder that Lin Fei realized that the Warriors trade might not be so optimistic. This world is based on success or failure, the Warriors did not win the championship last season is already a reality, no matter how many people admit that the Warriors are the strongest team in the league, and how many people say that the championship should belong to the Warriors, and the MVP should belong to Lin Fei, but the final result cannot be changed, or after many teenagers, people will only remember that this year's champion is the Heat. And the team management only sees this, they are thinking about making money, Lin Fei can make money, but that may not be enough, they are thinking about how to make more money, and make money with the least investment.

Lin Fei immediately said, "I don't want the team to have any trades. I think it's already a strong enough team and as long as we can keep it up, we're going to be champions. "Lin Fei said it on **. For such remarks, it can be said that the fire will quickly reach the ears of the Warriors management.

This is a sensitive time! You must know that at the end of the next season, Lin Fei's contract will expire, and what the Warriors are thinking about is to renew Lin Fei's contract in advance. Since Lin Fei made such a remark, although it seems to be very mild, it can also be said to be a shock to the Warriors management. Presumably, in addition to tinkering with the team this season, the Warriors did not dare to make any easy big moves, which annoyed Lin Fei, and the consequences may be serious.

Now that the main lineup for the team has been decided, there is no possibility of a big trade, and the next big move for the Warriors may be the coach.

Many people may wonder why the Warriors got the players first and then the coaches. Undoubtedly, the Warriors now have a group of extraordinarily talented players in their hands, and under normal circumstances, many teams trade according to the coach's ideas, go to the draft, and use them to build the roster that the coach has in mind, but undoubtedly, this may not be necessary for the Warriors at all. Nielsen has created an almost perfect lineup, and even after Nielsen was absent in the Finals, the interim acting coach commanded, the Warriors were still able to rely on the team left by Nielsen to play a smooth offense, and their fingertips have almost touched the championship, which proves that the players are more active and can have good adjustment, so the Warriors' idea is to have a coach and let the coach continue the Nielsen line and style of play. Therefore, the Warriors management simply got the coach after the Warriors players were almost decided, of course, this may have a lot to do with Lin Fei's "don't want to trade" statement.

There may also be questions about why not just use the acting head coach. I can only say, buddy, don't be kidding, isn't one failure painful enough?

Looking at the league today, there are quite a few coaches who are still idle and could be potential targets for the Warriors.

Which coach is the most accomplished today? There is no doubt that this man belongs to Phil Jackson. The old Zen master has ended his contract with the Lakers.

Zen master was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007, he has achieved a record 11 championship trophies, few people in the league can match it, although many people say that Zen master can achieve such an achievement is nothing more than to meet Jordan, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant such a great player, but look at the current Warriors, and the peak of the Bulls and the three-consecutive championship Lakers strength is much different, and according to Lin Fei's current state, and so young, there is the strength and Jordan, Kobe Bryant and other figures, In addition, the Warriors' current lineup is luxurious, almost all coaches covet it, and in terms of tactics, the triangle offense that Phil Jackson admires can definitely play perfectly in the Warriors, and these sub-players can be interpreted to the extreme, because they can almost interpret the perfect four-corner offense, Lin Fei, Keynes, Jobs, Aix, all of them are good players on the offensive end, and they can all act as arrow-shaped characters, with other players in the Warriors, such a lineup may be very exciting for Phil Jackson, He has every chance of breaking his own trophy record. However, then, someone came forward to explain that Phil Jackson could not go out of the mountain to coach the Warriors because his family did not allow it, and politely said that Phil Jackson admired the Warriors. Who knows if it's true, but there's no doubt that the Warriors definitely have a reason to make Phil Jackson excited. …,

In addition to the Zen master, Larry Brown may also be regarded as an absolute big name. In 2001, Brown led the 76ers with Iverson to the Finals for the first time, beating the Lakers in their first game on the road, but since then they have lost four games in a row. In the 2003-04 season, Brown led the Pistons to stage a perfect revenge, defeating the Lakers with four kings to win the championship, and also established Brown's position in NBA history. Later, he did poorly on both the Knicks and the Bobcats, and was eventually fired. Today's Warriors lineup is definitely an upgraded version compared to the 2001 lineup, Lin Fei's scoring ability is definitely better than Iverson at his peak, and the Warriors now have good players like Keynes, Aix, and Jobs, which are far from being comparable to the 76 team of the year. If Brown is in charge, according to his style, he will not have the same conflict with Lin Fei as he did with Iverson. He might be a good candidate. However, the Warriors are a team that picks the door, you know, Larry Brown's annual salary is nearly 8 million, and the Warriors may not be willing to do so at this price, so we can only say that Brown is an alternative!

In addition to Brown as an alternative, there is also Jerry Sloan in the league. The iron-blooded coach coached the Jazz for 23 years. In the middle of the 2011 season, he suddenly announced his resignation, which shocked the entire NBA. Sloan has twice led the Jazz led by Malone and Stockton to the Finals, but he was defeated by Jordan. After the retirement of Malone and Stockton, Sloan quickly completed the rebuilding of the Jazz. Sloan is known for his pick-and-roll tactics, and while he has never won Coach of the Year, everyone thinks it's a debt the league owes him. Now, with a lineup in front of him that looks even more colorful than Malone and Stockton, will he be tempted? You know, he said before that he won't coach anymore. In fact, the management of the Warriors is also thinking about a problem, that is, the availability of Sloan's tactics for the Warriors, you know, Sloan's strongest is blocking and dismantling, in the half-court offense, blocking and dismantling can be said to be the most effective way, and Sloan has almost deduced the blocking and dismantling to the point of perfection, but does Lin Fei need it? Many times, Lin Fei almost relies on his personal ability to create shooting opportunities, and he does not rely on any tactics to exist, is this something that this iron-blooded coach is willing to accept? And the Warriors' fast play, which pays attention to the rapid running of all players, focuses on fast offense, will it conflict with Sloan's tactical philosophy. With those questions in mind, the Warriors have no choice but to list Sloan as another alternative.

In fact, in addition to these absolute big names, there are also a group of good candidates in the league. For example, the Van Gundy brothers, but they both seem to prefer to use big coaches, and they are keen on half-court offense and defense first, which has a big conflict with the Warriors and is directly disregarded.
