Xu Yi's shouts echoed in the arena from time to time, and in the conference room upstairs, several people listened with interest for a while before slamming the door shut.

"Alright, let's talk about the head coach of the team!" Larry Tarlen, who owns the most shares, presided over the shareholders' meeting, "Kevin O'Neal doesn't want to do it anymore, this is his resignation, do you think, should you agree to his resignation?" ”

"Of course, why not? He did such a terrible job! It's long overdue! Roger Bell, the team's fourth shareholder, then said.

'Bale was right, the team can't go on like this, it's better to make changes sooner.'

"Kevin O'Neal has already resigned, so don't stop it, not to mention that he didn't do a good job at all." Several other shareholders chimed in.

However, the three largest shareholders of the team, Larry Tallen Nanny, Richard Petty, and Timothy Levik did not express an opinion, and after everyone finished speaking, Larry Talen Nanny said: "So, vote, and those who agree to let Kevin O'Neal resign, raise your hand." With that, Nanny Larry Tarren was the first to raise her hand.

And the few shareholders who had just expressed their opinions naturally raised their hands.

The Maple Leaf Company, which controls the Raptors, has a total of 10 shareholders, large and small, so it is easy to have a draw, but fortunately, there is no disagreement on the issue of Kevin O'Neal's resignation, and the 8 shareholders all raised their hands, only Richard Petty hesitated slightly.

"Then there's nothing wrong with Kevin O'Neal leaving. Now we are going to discuss the candidates for the new head coach, first nominate them, what good candidates do you have? Nanny Larry Tarren then threw out a second question.

Roger Bell said: "Directly elect the new head coach? Isn't that okay? We didn't prepare for anything. ”

Richard Petty frowned, Roger Bell didn't play quite right today, and he remembered that someone seemed to have said before that Roger Bell wanted to control the Raptors alone.

As Canada's last NBA team, the Raptors are naturally the treasure in the hands of all shareholders of Maple Leafs, with Larry Tarren Nanny owning 15%, while Richard Petty owns 13%, Timothy Levik owns 12%, and Roger Bell owns 10%, these four people occupy 50% of the Maple Leafs, while the remaining six occupy the other 50%.

It can be said that these ten shareholders of the Raptors are actually representatives elected by the Toronto business community to jointly help the Raptors develop. Now Roger Bell actually wants to control the Raptors alone, and as long as this intention is revealed, it will definitely be targeted by other shareholders.

And now, Roger Bell is obviously hiding this thought, but he has revealed a little trace on the important matter of the team's change of coach, which makes Richard Betty, who has heard some rumors, have some thoughts.

As the second largest shareholder of the team, Richard Betty interjected directly: "The next game will start soon, we have to discuss the new coach today, and if it is the coach of the team, we need him to take up the post immediately, so I elected Xu Yi, the assistant coach who has just been in charge of training downstairs." ”

As soon as Richard Betty finished speaking, Timothy Levik raised his hand directly: "I agree with the coach selected by Richard, he is very good!" ”

Timothy Levik, who has never liked to talk, actually rushed to speak, and Larry Talen's nanny also noticed that something was wrong: "I also think Xu Yi is good, I vote for him." ”

After Larry Talen's nanny finished speaking, Roger Bell frowned and looked at the other shareholder.

That person is the president of the team, the fifth shareholder Judd Pearson, Pearson knows a lot about the Raptors, he and Roger Bell are in the same group, when Roger Bell looked at him, Pearson instantly understood what Roger Bell meant, he opened his mouth to propose: "I think the team's assistant coach Tom Stein is good, he has been with the team for five years." ”

Judd Pearson said that Tom Stein, a disciple of the team's previous head coach Butch Carter, has been with the Raptors for five years and is the oldest assistant coach on the Raptors.

After Judd Pearson nominated Tom Stein, Roger Bell immediately followed: "I also think Tom Stein is good, he is an old qualification." ”

As soon as Roger Bell said this, Larry Tarlen's nanny completely understood that Roger Bell wanted to control the team's power, which obviously made the team's largest shareholder, Larry Tarlen's nanny, unacceptable, and he didn't want the team's power to be sidelined.

So he gave a look to his old friend, Jimmy Linam, who is also developing in the real estate industry, and Jimmy Linam immediately spoke up to support Xu Yi. But before that, there were already two people who spoke up to support Tom Stein, so after Jimmy Linam finished speaking, Xu Yi and Tom Stein actually tied! 4:4！ Two shareholders did not speak.

"I support Xu Yi, he is very good, very responsible, we need young strength!" The young shareholder, who looked to be under the age of 30, supported Xu Yi with a smile.

Roger Bell grimaced and looked at the last man.

Davwall, the good old man in the Raptors' shareholder meeting, always stands in a neutral position, at this time Davwall is very entangled, he didn't expect it to be this situation, and the team is actually-for-tat.

After struggling for a long time, the good old man Davwall still decided that no one on either side should be offended, and he whispered out a few words: "I'm sorry, I abstain." ”

"Why!?" Roger Bell was in a hurry.

Dafwall smiled and gave a reasonable reason: "I don't know much about the team's situation, so it's not easy to make a choice." ”

Roger Bell had no choice but to sit there sulking, unwillingly watching Larry Talen's nanny announce the final result: "Then let's do it, Xu Yi will temporarily take over as the head coach of the team, and when the season is over, we will discuss the problems of the team next season." ”

"By the way, Judd, let's go meet the team's new coach!" Nanny Larry Tarren then called Judd Pearson again, and the two went to the president's office

Xu Yi, who was supervising the training of the players downstairs, went up to the second floor with a hint of excitement and a hint of suspicion after learning about the call of the team's big boss Larry Tarlen nanny and the team's president Jud Pearson.

The team's big owner, Larry Talen, is sitting on the sofa, and behind the desk is the team's president Judd Pearson, who is also the team's fifth largest shareholder.

Xu Yi stood in the center of the office, said hello, and looked at the team's big boss, Larry Talen's nanny.

"Xu, I believe you should know, Kevin O'Neal has resigned, we need a new head coach, I don't know if you can be qualified for this position?"

Xu Yi's breath became short, and he could only hear Larry Talen's nanny now.

Nanny Larry Tarren continued: "The shareholders' meeting decided that you will be the acting head coach of the team and lead the team through the season, and hopefully you will be able to help the team get back into shape. ”

Xu Yi excitedly swung his fist at an imperceptible amplitude, his fist clenched tightly, and he looked at Larry Talen's nanny: "Thank you for your trust, I will work hard!" Xu Yi trembled a little when he spoke, he didn't expect that he could become the head coach of an NBA team in such a short time!

Larry Tarlen smiled with satisfaction, but Judd Pearson, the team's president, was not very happy and frowned.

Not to mention that Judd Pearson is an ally of Roger Bell, and just speaking of his own thoughts, he doesn't think that a coach who has just arrived with the Raptors for less than half a month and is only 27 years old can lead the Raptors out of the current predicament.

Seeing Xu Yi's excited appearance, Judd Pearson couldn't help it: "Chinese, do you know your goal?" ”

"Target?" Xu Yi really doesn't know what goals he has, now that the Raptors are far away from the playoffs, there is only theoretical hope left from the playoffs, if the Raptors have any goals now, will it still refuse to count?

However, looking at Judd Pearson's expression, Xu Yi instantly understood that this thing was setting himself up, and he hoped that he would be excited to say the words of the playoffs, Xu Yi thought about it, the word playoffs can't be said nonsense, because the Raptors' playoff hopes have almost been dashed, although there is still theoretical hope, but Xu Yi knows that this hope depends on the situation, and it depends on the strength of the opponents in the remaining games of the Raptors.

Xu Yi decided to say a high-sounding goal, he had been a civil servant in his previous life, and when he said high-sounding words, he came out of his mouth: "The goal, I know, our goal is to play as good as possible, although the playoffs are leaving us, but we still have to aim for the playoffs!" Even if we don't make the playoffs, we can't give up! ”

Xu Yi's words are full of holes, full of goals for the playoffs, but they leave room for themselves, what playoffs are leaving us, what even if they can't make the playoffs, these words are actually excusing the team for not being able to enter.

Judd Pearson was a little speechless, Xu Yi said it seamlessly, and he couldn't make things difficult for Xu Yi anymore. It was Larry Talen's nanny, who had been smiling and sitting on the sidelines, watching the excitement, but in contrast, he was a little disappointed with Xu Yi's answer, not that he was disappointed in Xu Yi as a coach, but that he wanted to see the team's goal was the playoffs!

The Raptors can't be abandoned any longer, otherwise, Vince Carter chose to leave because of his poor record, what should the Raptors do? Larry Tarlen's nanny prefers that Xu Yi can set the goal of the playoffs, lead the team to the playoffs in an impossible situation, and let Vince Carter stay with the Raptors.

Of course, Larry Talen Nanny knows that this is not possible, and the playoffs are just a luxury for the Raptors, who are now in 11th place in the East.
