Chapter 306: Good Luck Begins (Part 3)
Kerr was just coming over to see how the Clippers were training and seeing if the Clippers players were as united and motivated as King Hughes said.
Good guy, after a meal, I didn't eat a bite of fish, I passed the interview, and I want to become an assistant coach of the Clippers?
Why do you think it's so unreal, this is not in line with Cole's plan, he must discuss such a major event with his family, friends, and seniors.
However, Cole also felt that Smart Min was indeed as rumored, resolute in his decisions, extremely happy and decisive in his decisions, and generous in his spending.
Although he didn't spend the money, it was really not something that ordinary people could do to convince Sterling to increase his expenses without picking on the door.
Kerr didn't immediately agree to the Clippers' recruitment, and he still needs to think hard about it and make a good, clear plan for his future career.
Min Congda doesn't mind this, as a general manager for more than a year, Min Congda has developed a casual and natural habit, which can be regarded as a revenge rebound against the cautious character of the first 30 years.
Back at the team's headquarters in the afternoon, Min Congda communicated the matter with Rosser, asking him to prepare a sum of money to buy Kerr's contract with Turner Television Network and draw up an assistant coach contract with Kerr.
Rosser has long been accustomed to Min Congda's unplanned and sudden expenses, and in line with the principle of dedication, Rosser still reminded Min Congda.
"Mr. Smart, are you really going to sign Steve Kerr as an assistant coach on the team?"
"Yes, I've already interviewed him, it's very good, and it fits my strategic plan very well."
In Min Congda's view, Kerr has no coaching experience, and second, he also believes in the strategy of everyone having the ball, isn't this pure NT.
In the article "The Victory of Space and Ball Possession" written by Min Congda, it is particularly emphasized that the concentration and distribution of ball possession must reach a reasonable balance point.
If the simple pursuit of everyone has the ball to play and engage in equal basketball cannot optimize the distribution of ball rights, the strength of the team will be greatly damaged.
Unless the team is very united, the players are unusually balanced, and they can reach the point where they can perfectly combine superstars and team basketball, then they can truly have a ball for everyone.
Min doesn't think the Clippers have the potential to reach that level.
Rosser reminded Min Congda: "However, with Steve Kerr's ability, it is a bit overkill to make him an assistant coach. Kerr is a very ambitious man, he will never be willing to be just an assistant coach, does Mr. Smart want to develop him as a head coach? I'm afraid he's been in the team for a long time and he's going to be an unstable factor. ”
Mike Dunleavy is out of contract at the end of the season, and having Kerr as Dunleavy's successor is indeed an option.
It's just that Rosser sees that Cole is not a thing in the pool, and his plans are very big, and if he doesn't control it well, it will have a bad impact on the management.
It would even threaten Min Congda's position, Rosser didn't want Min Congda to step down, and Mr. Smart was not much of a good manager.
"Next season, next season, the head coach..."
Min Congda really didn't think about the choice of head coach.
Lao Deng is qualified as the head coach, but because he is qualified, Min Congda feels that it is difficult to let him continue to work for the Clippers.
As for making Cole Dunleavy's successor, Min Congda didn't think that far ahead, and he needed time to examine him.
What if this guy is also a backstabbing master? Min Congda was scared, and he immediately became a hedgehog when he stabbed back and forth.
And Min Congda has always had an idea in his heart, if the team's record really can't go down, he will personally put on the battle as the head coach!
He doesn't believe it, the manager himself is inactive, and your players can still win the game by themselves?
Rosser has done his duty, and there is no more to say, anyway, now the Clippers have enough money to complete the operation.
Although the Clippers have a poor record recently, the team's box office is not bad, the surrounding sales are very good, and the business cooperation is one order after another.
The Clippers recently opened a special online commerce department, using the influence of "Basketball & Kee" to start receiving advertisements and increasing the team's revenue.
Min Congda is addicted to fishing and basketball tactics, and he can't manage so many things in business, Rosser is very dedicated and tries to expand the channels of money for the team.
But if Min Congda looks at the team's finances, he can find that the team's cash flow is very tight and the debt is increasing.
Because the Clippers have changed the "slamming" style of the past Sterling period, no longer focusing on cash flow, but making full use of financial tools, borrowing and debt to expand the team's business, and establishing long-term cooperative relationships with many brands.
In the short term, the Clippers have no money or even owe money on their accounts, but in the long run, the Clippers will usher in an explosion in business cooperation and commercial value in the future.
This is the result of Rosser's observation of Min Congda's "long-term vision" strategy, and he successfully pulled the Clippers out of the small-bellied chicken intestine operation and moved towards a larger and longer-term business map.
And all of this is based on the Clippers' team record and traffic hype, without these two things, the so-called long-term can only be a joke.
Rosser has to admire Min Congda, in just over a year, he has reversed the fundamentals of the entire Clippers, and they are stable and good together, what can Cole's liquidated damages and assistant coach contract be counted as?
In the days that followed, Min also interviewed a number of other assistant coach candidates, but none of them were very satisfied.
These people either have a lot of experience and a good resume, or they praise the passing tactics and think they have a bright future.
In order to show their professionalism, some people came with a book full of notes, like Min Congda to introduce various details and experiences of passing and cutting tactics.
Can such Min Congda want? Pass them all!
And the time has entered 2011, and the Clippers' record is still up and down, as if a broken ship cannot find its way in the sea.
On January 2, they lost at home to the Atlanta Hawks, but on January 5, they beat the Denver Nuggets at home, 106-94, and scored more than 100 points for the first time in many games in recent years.
In this game, Bledsoe scored a career-high 22 points, and his performance in the game was impressive.
On January 9, the Clippers defeated the Golden State Warriors again, 116-101, using the pass-and-cut tactical system, and they scored more than 110 points.
However, judging from the process of the game, what really opened up the situation for the Clippers was the breakthrough of the guard and Randolph's hard chisel in the low post.
Therefore, even if he won the game, Min Congda was very dissatisfied and asked the team to implement the idea of the passing and cutting system and not rely too much on the individual ability of the players.
As a result, in the high-profile game against the Heat on January 12, the Clippers, who had a big advantage on the inside, lost the game 105-107 instead.
No matter how united the Clippers players are, no matter how hard they concentrate on it, they will not be happy if they play under the wrong tactical system or think that they will lose.
There began to be some whispers within the team, and I didn't understand why the team had to play passing, but the traditional tactical system was very suitable and played very well.
On January 13, the Clippers officially announced that Steve Kerr and Turner TV Network had terminated his contract early and joined the Clippers as assistant coaches.
On this day, the wind and sun in Los Angeles were beautiful, and in the morning he signed a contract with Cole, and in the afternoon Min Congda went to sea and caught a rare large grouper.
This grouper is quite peculiar, and among the dense spots on its body, seven or eight spots are particularly large and eye-catching, making it stand out from the rest.
Min Congda was happy to catch this fish and felt that being able to catch such a big fish must mean the beginning of good luck!
Today's thoughts: 1. The Timberwolves are really the most brainless management I've ever seen. 2. Durant proved with personal experience that being a nomad is not so simple, the strength must be hard enough, and the vision must be poisonous enough.
