"Larry, according to Adelson, the deal is done"
"Yes, I see"
Looking at the back of his assistant leaving, Larry Brown also had some very complicated looks on his face.
Larry Brown has been under a bit of pressure in recent times, something he never thought about before becoming the head coach of this team.
Even when he took over this team, many people were not very optimistic about his prospects in this team, but he disdained those people's doubts, and he had absolute confidence in his own ability.
As he said in a private interview with the team's owner, Adelson, he won't let a champion team lose it, and likewise he won't let a team slip on his hands.
It's just that at this time, since he accepted this team for more than half a season, now he thinks of the words he said when he interviewed with Adelson and is also a little emotional, in his hands, this Boston Celtics has indeed had a slippery slope, perhaps at the moment, his results in the Celtics are not worth mentioning compared to his predecessor.
Especially this season, when the Chinese staged such a miracle with the Lakers, who everyone recognized at the beginning of the season as having lost O'Neal and most of the main team, he staged such a miracle.
Of course, this kind of business pressure. Or maybe it's the pressure caused by his lack of strength. Larry Brown doesn't really care. For him, this is not a problem, after all, his transformation of this team is only the beginning, after all, the owner of the team has only really listened to his opinion since sending Wade away, and the team has made drastic reforms, but the resistance to this reform is the real source of these pressures on Larry Brown.
Especially when he and Adelson sent away the team's Finals MVP Wade last season, they are still being scolded by many Boston Celtics fans, and even after Adelson became the public enemy of the Celtics, he himself became the public enemy of this team by the way.
If it's just the fans who have this kind of affection for him, he just can't bear it, after all, the fans can't decide too much of what he has in this team. It's just obvious that after he sent Wade away, he obviously felt that the old players of the original Celtics were obviously unfamiliar with his feelings.
Before coming to this team, many people knew that Zhuang Fei and him were good friends and had a good personal relationship, and in this case, the Boston Celtics players also gave the new Celtics head coach face at the beginning.
Whether it is Yao Ming, Maddie or Xiao Ao, they are very obedient to his arrangement, so to speak, it is precisely because of this. The Boston Celtics didn't create much resistance for the coach, at least not the ones he had anticipated before taking over. In this case. His start to the Boston Celtics was wonderful, and even he found it a little hard to believe.
It's just that after this kind of beauty lasted for a while, he found that everything about the Boston Celtics was not as good as he imagined, and all the configuration of this team made him happy and at the same time made this extremely critical head coach feel a little dissatisfied.
The Boston Celtics are two consecutive championship teams in the league, and the strength of this team is naturally undoubted, whether it is the two leading players in the team, Yao Ming and Maddy, or the team's two core players, Xiao Ao and James Posey, are very satisfied with the former 76ers head coach.
These four people are simply his most coveted players, and even Prince sitting on the bench of this team also surprised him, for most of the players of this championship team he strongly agrees, but obviously, there are a small number of them who do not agree, such as Wade, in his opinion, Wade's selfish style of play reminds him of bad memories in the past, and it also makes him feel that Wade's style with this team or his coaching style is seriously inconsistent.
Even when he got rid of Wade, he kept wondering, how did the Chinese integrate Wade and this team on the offensive end? He's not a good offensive manager and he's never tried to hide anything at this point.
But in the same way, as a head coach with excellent defense, his offensive judgment of the opponent is extremely good, but no matter how good his judgment is, he has no way to find out how Wade got together with this team under Zhuang Fei and finally became the MVP of the Finals.
In this case, Wade can only leave, he doesn't have much time to train Wade like he trained Iverson, and his training of Iverson has always been a failure.
It's just that after trading Wade, the team came Jay Williams, and the team is slowly working hard in the direction of his ideal team, although the original Celtics players are becoming more and more rusty with his feelings, but they haven't fought against him yet, but even so, after Jae Williams came to the team, after the Boston Celtics changed their style of play, he still felt that he couldn't control the team anymore.
Especially the team's offense, he found that he couldn't control it, Yao Ming is no longer organized, Maddie is no longer an organizational striker, and for his change, the biggest sacrifice is naturally James Posey, who originally played a cameo role as a defender in the team.
When the ball comes to Jay Williams, even Maddie is no longer distracted, how much ball can James Posey have? James Posey, who didn't possess the ball, ended up being an outside defender and a three-point shooter, which was also a serious waste of the player's ability.
So many times Larry Brown is actually very envious of Zhuang Fei's offensive ability, Larry Brown is very envious of how Zhuang Fei perfectly combines this group of players to play the maximum offensive power, but he can't do Zhuang Fei, in this case, he can clearly feel that James Posey is playing more and more awkwardly in this team, whether it is becoming the sixth man or starting to become a pitcher, which has not made him successful in this new Celtics.
Larry Brown doesn't want to lose James Posey, that's for sure, this Celtics player has the ability that all managers can't bear to give up, this is an all-round fighter, just like the current Lakers' Stephen Jackson, such a player is a treasure, he is even more versatile than Jackson, but it is obvious that even if Larry Brown is unwilling to let James Posey go, but the awkward position of the Celtics all-around warrior in this team still makes Larry Brown have to choose to sacrifice him.
Especially Larry Brown, who thinks even more so after watching the Lakers and Timberwolves play.
Because whether it is the Lakers or the Timberwolves, the strength of these two teams is simply amazing, in this case, if the Boston Celtics can't improve according to his ideas, it will be difficult for this team to beat the Timberwolves or the Celtics, and although James Posey is delicious, he is not the player that the Celtics or himself lack the most at this time.
What Larry Brown needs now is a player like Ginobili of the Timberwolves, who can get up from the bench and score casually, score when it's time to score, be selfless when it's time to be selfless, and have a very good defensive attitude and defensive ability as a team player with a strong individual style of play.
He believes that with such a player, he can beat everyone in the league, including the Chinese-led Los Angeles Lakers, but for Larry Brown, it is embarrassing that such a player is too difficult to find in the NBA.
In terms of style of play, individualism is distinctive, and there are many such players, such as Wade, such as Iverson, such as the Lakers' Kobe Bryant.
There are countless players in the league who are extremely team in terms of personality, for example, James Posey is a very team player, whether it is the style of play or the personality, it is very team, but when these two things are fused together, there are really not many such players in the league.
At least in Larry Brown's impression, apart from the Timberwolves' Ginobili and the Raptors' Mobley, there are not many players with such a strong personal color, style of play and team awareness.
In this case, he hopes to be able to poach Ginobili or Mobley, but it is obvious that he can't get these two people, even if he exchanges James Posey, in the NBA, not many people are stupid, whether it is the management of the Timberwolves or the management of the Raptors.
And this is also the Celtics head coach extremely frustrated, but the hard work pays off, although such a player is difficult to find, but in the end he still found one, such as Margety of the Clippers, the guard who is ready to jump out of the contract next season because of his excellent performance in the last two years.
While Margeti isn't as good as Ginobili and Mobley, especially in his defensive attitude, his 10.5 free throws per game and 22 points per game this season speak for themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that the Clippers only signed him to a four-year contract after the end of his rookie contract, and he had to jump out of the contract option in the new season, it is estimated that the Boston Celtics would not be able to get him, Sterling was unwilling to give him a 10 million contract, but Adelson didn't care.
"We will definitely beat you the next time we meet," the head coach of the Boston Celtics also said secretly in his heart when he saw the Chinese figure at the All-Star Game.
Because in his opinion, when he finds all the players he needs, he will be able to beat Zhuang Fei with his own ability, which he has never doubted.
And the players he wants are now slowly coming to him, and Adelson has not broken his promise. (To be continued.) )
