NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 18 The rise and fall, the advanced scout

Chapter 18: Rise and fall, senior scout
Suddenly!
Jiang Chao was taken aback. Yesterday he said he would rest for a few days, but he showed up in his office this morning?
He doesn't know D'Antoni's character very well, but he clearly remembers that the mustache in this period was not white. Why did the original black beard turn gray.

"I think it's too soon, new boss, hello!"

D'Antoni's voice is a bit hoarse, and his voice is a bit vicissitudes.

It should be said that he was the most tired these days, and he didn't sleep well.

Dolan sent him to the lottery a week ago, and the team has changed hands since he came back.

Now in the information age, he knew everything that happened here through his mobile phone, and his colleagues' death-threatening reminders and so on made him almost nervous.

The new boss demoted the old Downey, the old Downey slammed the door and left angrily, the wave of resignation, the new boss gave a rallying speech, and the assistant called him back to New York
He just had a errand, so too many things happened, and then all kinds of rumors about the new boss and the future of the Knicks. As a coach who doesn't like to change places frequently, he is very upset.

I heard that Old Downey chatted with Jiang Chao for a few minutes and GG, but he is not ready to leave yet.

It's too ridiculous.

So when the young assistant coach called him, he just wanted the boss to take the initiative to call and talk to him.

That at least proves that he still has some value in the eyes of the boss.

And Jiang Chao didn't rush to call him, the best coach who led the Suns to 60+ single-season victories.

This made him panic even more.

The most panicked thing was that in New Jersey, he immediately found the former Suns owner Robert Savor, but Robert Savor made it clear that he would definitely consider the old Downey as the general manager.

But I'm sorry, the head coach position is still Gentry's.

He signed a 3-year contract with Gentry. Didn't he just fire if he said he was dismissed? Let alone pay the dismissal fee, it is said that D'Antoni has no trust in the hearts of Japanese fans.

He who has tried and failed, loved!

The other managements in the West have the same meaning. D'Antoni, you can't do Popovich and Zen Master at all.

This made Mustache understand clearly that at this stage, he couldn't find a job as the head coach of other teams. If he was only a deputy, wouldn't he be as good as the Knicks?
So he really couldn't calm down, and he didn't have the capital, he was afraid that the next time he would fire the phone call, this crazy boss could do anything.

Rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to understand it with reason.

In terms of communication, D'Antoni is still good, and has never had any conflicts with the players.

"Hello, coach D'Antoni, please sit down."

"Okay, boss, I have something to talk to you about."

"please say."

After 15 minutes, the two shook hands and smiled, and the talk was over! !
Compared with the violent old Downey, D'Antoni is much more refined.

He first asked the boss what he thinks of him, and his suitable style of play for the team's current lineup.

Sure enough, he and Jiang Chao were right. He also said that the team can play and run, but if they want to enter the playoffs, he hopes that the boss and the future general manager must change.

"This lineup is not a lineup for the playoffs. I'm telling the truth." D'Antoni downloaded the video of Jiang Chao's speech last night and watched it on the plane. He also knew that Jiang Chao's goal was the playoffs and even the championship.

Then, the lineup left by Old Downey can be swooped down. As the best head coach, he knows what kind of lineup he needs to win. It must be based on violent inside + outside all-star players.

"No problem, I will definitely change."

Jiang Chao first agreed to his request, and the two had the same views on the team.

Later, Jiang Chao also put forward his own request.

That is, D'Antoni no longer serves as the team's head coach.

Transferred to the team's deputy general manager + coach consultant, player trainer.

Coach D'Antoni, who has already done a good job of psychological construction, also said:
"Yes, is the contract in accordance with the previous one?"

"Ah."

Jiang Chao knew what he meant, just like Jiang Chao, he was waiting and watching.

Jiang Chao is waiting for the player he wants to come and train him, and he is waiting for Jiang Chao's operation.

I am also waiting for the opportunity to change jobs in the future. I can’t be the head coach of other teams at this stage. There will be a lot of opportunities in the middle of the season, because there will definitely be a strong team that suddenly falls behind or a bad team that is dissatisfied with the record. In order to deal with the fans, they will change the team. Coach's.

At this time, he may have an opportunity.

Jiang Chao doesn't care about this, this position is a casual one, and he doesn't have to pay a buyout fee if he resigns during the season, and at that time, he will be reluctant to leave.

Those who want to leave can't be stopped, and those who don't want to leave will stay.

Dolan and D'Antoni signed a three-year contract, which just expires at the end of next season. Jiang Chao is equivalent to changing his position without cutting his salary.

"So, boss, what can I do for you now?"

D'Antoni is also an old man. He is testing how much Jiang Chao knows about basketball management.

Jiang Chao doesn't know much, but he knows what to ask D'Antoni to do.

This position says that the senior point is the senior scout, but he asked D'Antoni to only inspect the star players and predict the players in the first round. He will go to the people selected by ordinary scouts, and then write in-depth stories that belong to the Knicks. Scouting report.

"And I will pick guards for rookies in the future, and you will train them."

"Okay, no problem, boss, can you tell me who to choose?"

"I didn't think so."

Jiang Chao wouldn't tell these big mouths so early, especially those who are not honest like Mustache.

"I think this year's James Harden is pretty good. Unfortunately, it's my fault. He didn't get a good pick. He should be taken away by General Manager with the No. 3 pick." D'Antoni spread his hands with a little regret.

"Haha, if you are free recently, you can go to the Thunder to find this player. It is always right to chat with him."

Jiang Chao didn't expect that the future master and apprentice would still have a chemical reaction at this time, so he simply signed a red string and forgot.

The NBA also has an unspoken rule, which is to have a good relationship with the lottery show, and it will always be used in the future.

Lottery picks can generally stay in the league for about ten years. Once the rookie contract is over, every team has a chance
"Okay, maybe he will come to our team in the future."

D'Antoni left without asking which head coach Jiang Chao wanted.

He just wants to see it now.

Which melon skin is more powerful than me, and can have such a high status in the heart of this new boss?
I just heard a few assistant coaches discussing that Boss Jiang doesn't even like Pat Riley, so who is the head coach he wants?
And Jiang Chao also looked at the back of the mustache and sighed.

Sure enough, it makes sense not to win the championship.

Jiang Chao's feeling after meeting Mustache in person is that this is an uncle who looks kind and has a really kind personality.

So peaceful & loving.

Such a character will definitely not win the championship.

The head coaches who won the championship are all either immovable as a mountain and as steady as a mountain, or vigorous and iron-handed hawks. They all have one characteristic: decisive!

Seeing D'Antoni's tangled appearance, Jiang Chao looked tangled.

Everyone could see that he neither believed in Jiang Chao nor wanted to believe in Jiang Chao, nor did he believe in the big cakes given to him by other cunning bosses.

"Okay, old man, it's absolutely right to follow me."

Jiang Chao wanted to tell him this directly to put him at ease a little bit. With a character that is concerned about gains and losses, it is no wonder that he only believes in those seven or eight people on the court.

But the result was okay. He accepted Jiang Chao's arrangement, and it was also the first time that Mustache became the deputy general manager in his life. I believe this would be a more suitable role for him.

"Rising Brightly and Falling Darkly!D'Antoni becomes Knicks deputy general manager and coaching advisor

"The Second Fire of the New Official! !Wayward Boss Jiang! "

"No Resignation! !D'Antoni's weakness? "

"Save Mustache! ! !New York is in a quagmire again! "

"Are the Knicks going to be ruined! "

As the news spread like wildfire, the basketball world became lively again.

And this time.

All current Knicks players can't sit still!
On vacation on Liberty Island, old-school player Malik Roseroy with a bad temper:
"This young boss, is he looking for death!"
