It was the first time Min Congda had heard such a satisfactory answer.

Asked Mark Jackson, Negro, Cole and others before, all of them have their tails cocked to the sky.

Either to lead the Clippers to a championship, or to shape the Clippers into the league's best team.

Min Congda thought to himself, don't say that my purpose is to make the Clippers mess, even if I really want to shape the Clippers into a first-class team, I use it to find you?

Can't I do it myself?

A legend in the coaching world with six wins in six fights and six wins in his career, "the undefeated Napoleon of the East" (because of his short stature), "15-barreled Gatling cannon", can you be exchanged for the head coach?

I really don't have any force at all, and I don't coach because I can't do it, but because I don't want to!

Unexpectedly, this Tyronn Lue was very honest, and the answer to the first question left an excellent impression on Min Congda.

Of course, several other interviewers didn't think so, believing that Tyronn Lue was a sign of a lack of self-confidence.

The United States is a country that attaches great importance to self-confidence, and if it doesn't work, it must say yes, at best it means that it has self-confidence, and when it is bad, it likes to talk big.

Min Congda's values are still very Chinese, and he appreciates humble people more, like Curry, Harden, and Gasol Jr. and Randolph, all of whom are very humble players.

Even Ricky Davis, who was once arrogant and domineering, has become much more gentle and humble under the influence of Min Congda.

After asking this question, Min Congda stopped talking for a while and handed over the question to the others.

In the face of other people's questions about team tactics, planning, cultural construction, etc., Tyronn Lue seemed a little stretched.

No way, he really didn't have much in his stomach.

Second, I didn't have time to prepare for him, and it was 6 hours to fly from Boston to Los Angeles, and I didn't have time to sleep.

So, Tyronn Lue didn't respond very well in this session.

Jeff Ball, who recommended Tyronn Lue, saw that Lue was a little flustered and decided to give him a simple question to give him a break.

"Taryn, the preparation time we gave you is relatively short, and you have just come off the plane, so you must not have thought enough about many details. Let me ask you a simple and general question, do you think the team needs to change its tactical style? Or, do you have any ideas of your own. ”

Bauer asked about "tactical style," which is a very vague way of saying it.

To put it bluntly, it is to let Tyronn Lue talk vaguely without picking out the details.

When it comes to picking out details, he can't pick Mark Jackson and Steve Cole.

Naturally, Tyronn Lue sensed Bauer's intentions, coughed, and replied, "Uh... I don't think the team needs to change in terms of tactical style. Because the previous team's strategy was successful. However, I think the success of the team comes from Mr. Smart's makeover, and if Mr. Smart thinks the team needs to be adjusted, if it needs to be changed, I will make the change according to his request. Mr. Smart's success in coaching is obvious to all, and he left the coaching position mainly because he was too busy with coaching work and delayed him from other things. If I am my successor, my first goal is to carry on Mr. Smart's will and carry on the good momentum of the team. ”

Tyronn Lue's words are still reasonable.

Because Min Congda stepped down not because of his bad record, it was purely because he didn't want to do it.

While he didn't want to do it, he continued to stay with the Clippers as a high-powered general manager.

Then you, as the successor, do you not carry out his will, are you thinking about fart?

Therefore, Mark Jackson's plan seems to be very devoid of "emotional intelligence".

He actually wanted to overturn the previous team plan and follow his own ideas.

Although these people are all former overlords on the court, it is normal for them to be arrogant and have their own temper.

But Tyronn Lue's words are obviously very level, and the most important thing is to hit Min Congda's intentions.

Doesn't he just want a tool man who can be easily controlled by himself, white gloves?

This Tyronn Lue looks silly and silly, and he doesn't have much ink in his stomach, but he is loyal to learning to sing.

That's what Min Congda needs the most!

As recommended by Jeff Ball, TM is really talented.

After this problem, Min Congda wants to directly appoint Tyronn Lue as the head coach of the Clippers.

But the process still has to go, respect other people, especially Cole.

The so-called business is not benevolent, and it was he who was bent on poaching Kerr to the Clippers and treating people as the head coach successor.

Now that I find that the other party is not in line with my heart, I don't want it, and if I kick him away and squeeze him out, it is really unseemly.

So, go through a process and let him compete "fairly" with Tyronn Lue and convince him of losing.

After some interviews, the five voted for Tyronn Lue, and this time only Min Congda and Jeff Ball voted for Tyronn Lue.

But Min once again exercised his one-vote to allow Tyronn Lue to advance to the second round of the selection to compete against Steve Kerr.

And this time, of course, Jeff Ball will not use his veto, Tyronn Lue was nominated by him, how can he veto.

By this point, Olser and Rosser had understood that their votes were insignificant, and that Smart was the one who really decided.

Smart is looking for a manager who is obedient and can carry out his will and ideas.

Steve Cole is talented and thoughtful, but Smart clearly doesn't want to give Cole too much power.

Appoint a relatively mediocre, obedient head coach and let someone as ambitious and capable as Kerr assist.

Such a personnel structure is not a clever strategy.

Olser and Rosser exchanged glances, and they knew everything.

"Mr. Smart is worthy of being a master of power and magic, and he has arranged everything clearly."

"Why didn't I understand this? I've been supporting Cole just now, and it looks like I'm still going to support Tyronn Lue. ”

"Jeff Ball, this guy took the lead and recommended Tyronn Lue, it seems that in the future, in the team, you have to be careful of Ball's forces."

Orsham and Rosser also had all sorts of thoughts in their minds.

As the Clippers get better and better, the team's market value increases, and the executives' value, power, and reputation will rise.

At that point, the internal power struggle will become more complicated, and both Olser and Rosser will think more about themselves.

Min Congda didn't think about it that much, he just wanted to find a new coach with mediocre ability and obedientness.

Although Kim Hughes is also mediocre in ability, he is the old man of the original team after all, and he is easily influenced by Kerr or Old Deng.

Rather, it's Tyronn Lue, who has to establish his authority if he wants to gain a foothold with the Clippers.

At that time, it is inevitable to engage in some commotion operations, so that the team is not so peaceful, which is what Min Congda wants to see.

In the afternoon, it was decided that the second round of interviews for the head coach of the Clippers would continue in the training hall.

The interview in the afternoon was very special, that is, the two coaches selected five Clippers players each to play a 50-point match.

It was the first time that Tyronn Lue and Kerr had encountered such a test, asking, "Whoever commands the team wins, is whoever is the head coach?" ”

Min Congda shook his head and said, "Of course not, the result of the game is an important reference." At that time, our five judges will still decide on the candidates through deliberation. But with the game as a reference, I think when the time comes to the result, both of you will feel that the result is fair. How's that, do you have an opinion? ”

Cole and Tyronn Lue know each other, they both played under Phil Jackson and won championships, and they can be considered Zen disciples.

If it were a well-known head coach who had such a competition, he would definitely not be happy.

But neither Kerr nor Tyronn Lue have ever been head coaches.

One was an assistant coach for half a season, and the other didn't even finish half a season as an assistant coach.

Therefore, they can still accept such a test arrangement, and both of them nodded in agreement.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Min Congda asked the players who were training in the afternoon to stop practicing.

Then let Cole and Tyronn Lue pick their own people.

Kerr picks one first, Tyronn Lue picks two, Kerr picks two, Tyronn Lue picks one, Kerr picks one, Tyronn Lue picks two more, and Kerr picks one last.

When everyone saw that the two of them had to compete for the head coach by the game, they all thought it was very interesting and were eager to try.

Kerr's first takedown was Stephen Curry.

Tyronn Lue selected James Harden and Zach Randolph.

Cole re-drafted Gasol Jr. and Paul George.

Taryn Lue picks Derek Fisher.

Cole chose Matt Bonner.

Tyronn Lue drafted Milicic and Leonard.

Kerr ended up taking down Ricky Davis.

This is the beginning of the 50-point selection battle between the two sides.

Before the start of the game, Min Congda shook hands with Lu and Cole respectively.

"It's a fair game, you know, the result of the game will have a direct impact on which of you can be the manager, come on. ”

The reason why Kerr and Tyronn Lue are willing to compete like this is also because they covet the Clippers lineup.

Looking at the potential and thickness of this lineup, you can see that the lineup selected by the two can become playoff-level teams in the future.

And it's a patchwork of players from a team, and who wouldn't want to be the head coach of that kind of potential stock?

Kerr, as the team's assistant coach, has a local advantage, and immediately called a five-person tactical meeting to lay out the tactics and how to quickly score 50 points.

Taryn Lue clenched his fists, and when Min Congda shook hands with him just now, it seemed that he was handed something to him, which should be a note.

Now that there were so many people, he couldn't take the note out and look at it, so he stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

Then gather the 5 people you have chosen, and explain how to fight later.

However, Tyronn Lue is not very familiar with Harden, Randolph and others, and how to set up the tactics is a problem.

And let's be honest, Tyronn Lue is not a tactical genius, and he is better at building relationships with players than tactics.

'Well, whether I can be the manager or not depends on your form and performance. I don't really have any tactics to put together, but I trust you, and if you believe in me, do your best. If you're not happy with me and not interested, you can lose without leaving a trace. But I want to say that you're going to regret it, because I'm here to bring you championships. If you're really for the good of the team, go and beat your teammates, it's definitely for their good. ”
