On the morning of the 21st, after the signing press conference of Tyronn Lue's head coach, Min Congda was greatly relieved.

One thing that had been bothering him lately had finally come to an end, and he had paid the price for his unprudent choice.

The experience of life as a manager for more than a month is really poor, and he plans not to play in the team games tonight, but to go to nightclubs and bars to relax.

Since taking over as the team's coach, preparing for a busy, tight shrinking season, Min has not really relaxed for too long.

Even if I arrive late and leave early every day, the workload is still double that of the general manager.

It's still rotten, like a dog who is tired every day, which door is rotten.

Well, now that the burden has finally been put down, Min Congda doesn't even care too much about winning or losing tonight's game.

Because tonight's opponent of the Clippers is the Centrifier boy, the Minnesota Timberwolves!

The Timberwolves are broken, and Min Congda hates it.

Blind operation, always losing, it is not easy to win some money on him.

In tonight's game, the outside world is unanimously optimistic about the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Timberwolves played away from home, and they got nothing in free agency over the summer.

The only takeaway was the manager, who signed the famous coach Adelman.

Hopefully, this well-respected and capable coach can lead the Timberwolves back on the rise.

But Adelman, like Dunleavy, was at the peak of his debut and led the Trail Blazers to the Finals.

As a result, he was sanctioned by the Pistons once and defeated by the Bulls once.

Later, he led the Kings to the Western Conference finals in the 00s, and fell to the feet of Phil Jackson's Lakers.

In that sense, Adelman and Mike Dunleavy are really hard to come together.

He died at the beginning of the game by Jackson, and in the late stage, he wanted to rise again, but he was killed by Jackson again.

It fully explains that the position of coach really depends on talent and luck.

If you can't beat it at first, you probably won't be able to beat it for the rest of your life, and that's it.

The starting point often determines the upper limit of this coach, don't expect to accumulate step by step.

Adelman is a good coach, but his level stops there and is declining.

The current lineup of the Timberwolves has Lefu as the core, and Thabit and Foye are all scrapped.

Luke Ridno in the back line and Wesley Johnson in the front...... These are players who play on the bench in other teams.

It's just such a patchwork, if you want to be popular but not popular, if you want a team with no strength, how can you play with the Clippers?

In the afternoon, the whole team went to the Stamp Center to warm up, and Min Congda had afternoon tea at the Red Head Boots Restaurant.

You don't have to be a manager, you don't have to stare on the sidelines, which makes him feel quite comfortable.

He can comfortably drink a cup of coffee and get some snacks from the store to fill his stomach.

Christopher entertains Min Congda before and after his busy work.

His mental state has been getting better and better recently, which is very different from the first time he met Min Congda.

At that time, his face was gray, and his whole body exuded an aura of decay.

Now he was wearing a slightly yellow, somewhat smoky chef's robe, with a strong scent on him.

His face and hair were greasy and shiny, which made people feel very kind.

If his former rivals, friends or lovers saw him, they would definitely not recognize him.

Is this the same red-toed boot that spooked the West Coast thugs in the past?

Christopher took the coffee pot and added some black coffee to Min Congda's cup, and asked casually, "Mr. Smart, how is Donathee's case now?" Any progress? ”

Min Congda ate a french fries and said, "Progress? If there is any progress, it is estimated that no one will investigate this matter. A man who everyone wanted him to die, now that he is really dead, who cares how he died. ”

Donathy's death is a bit of a "long-awaited" thing.

The NBA has been working with the FBI for years, and if the NBA is determined to investigate, progress should be made soon.

But David Stern is now focused on the new shrinking season, and judging by recent news from the league office, he is not very concerned about Donathy's murder.

As the new season begins, everyone gradually forgets about this murder case, and it may take many years before there will be clues or progress, or even become an unsolved case forever.

Min Congda asked, "Do you have any clues?" ”

Christopher shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, no, what clues can I have...... Would you like another drink? ”

"Let's have another drink, drink some coffee to refresh yourself~ Christopher, are there any fun nightclubs in Los Angeles, can you recommend them?"

"Nightclub... It's been a long time since I've been there. Besides, there's a game tonight, aren't you going to participate? ”

"No, no, the opponent is the Timberwolves, it's not interesting, I want to go out and relax. Now that I'm not a manager, I've finally freed myself up......"

Min looked down at the court, where the Clippers were warming up.

Tyronn Lue stood on the sidelines in a tracksuit, discussing something with the assistant coaches on the coaching staff.

As a young coach who is just starting out, it is necessary for Tyronn Lue to establish his authority as a head coach.

However, he is neither a real power like Min Congda, nor an idol like Bird and Riley.

He can't be the center of power, he has to be close to the power and have a good relationship with the people in the power center of the team to borrow their power.

The team's biggest power figure is naturally Min Congda, who is now more authoritative than the team's owner Raheem Sterling.

But after he left the managerial position, he was far away from the team and could no longer rely on him.

It's like you are the magistrate sent to the county seat by the capital, and the capital is naturally the source and reliance of your power.

But the capital is too far away, and you still have to rely on the master and the officials in the county to do things, and they are the ones who are closer to the business power.

Generally speaking, the best person for a manager to rely on at this time is the star of the team.

Forming a good relationship with the biggest players and forming a close alliance has always been the only choice for a new coach to take over and consolidate his position.

But the star of the Clippers is not obvious, unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers, James is the absolute boss, the Ohio Emperor, hugging his thigh and it's over.

The Clippers are theoretically in charge of Curry, but Harden is also extremely talented, and the two are not very fierce, and they have never fought for the boss.

If you want to talk about the most senior player, it should be Zach Randolph, who is the mainstay of the team's interior line, but he is not a superstar.

And the talkers in the locker room, Ricky Davis and Derrick Fisher, are all veterans who can talk.

Overall, the Clippers are not a team built around one or two superstars, and everyone has a say.

As a result, Tyronn Lue shifted his power to his assistant coaching staff.

According to the normal process, after a head coach joins the main team, he will purge all the assistant coaches and replace them with his own people.

But Tyronn Lue's situation is different, he is replacing Min Congda, and Min Congda has no intention of letting Tyronn Lue "form a cabinet" on his own.

Tyronn Lue will have to work with these veterans and use their power to take control of the team.

According to Tyronn Lue's observations, the person he needs to unite the most is none other than his competitor, Steve Cole.

So, ahead of this game, Tyronn Lue has been trying to exchange ideas with Kerr.

I want to ask him how tonight's game should be arranged and how to play.

But Cole didn't know if he had a grudge in his heart, he kept saying, "You are the head coach, we will listen to your arrangement." ”

Now it makes Tyronn Lue a little passive, how can this be done, is it possible to go to Mr. Smart and ask for a small note?
