I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 305 Crouching Dragon
There is one thing in basketball that talent cannot replace, and that is experience.

Cole is undoubtedly a very experienced veteran of the game, and he is good at observing and summarizing.

With Phil Jackson and Popovich for so many years, there are a lot of small details of the game accumulated.

He wears a T-shirt, lets Harden follow him, and Randolph screens.

So Harden started to defend against Cole, and Cole started to run slowly.

Harden was afraid of hurting Cole, so of course he would not go all out to defend, and followed slowly.

When Cole was about to run to Randolph, Cole suddenly pushed Harden.

Harden staggered and bumped into Randolph, who was firmly blocked.

Naturally, Cole easily ran over with the cover, leaving Harden behind.

"Hey! You fouled the ball! It's a foul!"

Cole shook his head and said, "As long as you control the force of pushing and shoving, the referee will not call you a foul."

Harden said: "Then if the referee calls a foul, isn't it a mistake?"

"Then I won't push you, let's try again."

So Harden followed Cole again, this time he was a lot more careful, clinging tightly and tensing his body.

Cole continued to run towards Randolph, this time he suddenly turned inside and took Harden to take a step inside.

Cole turned around and went out again. Although the speed was slow, the distance between Randolph and Harden was already very close, and Randolph took a quick step forward and firmly blocked Harden.

"How about it? In addition to the screener's blocker must be strong, the runners also have to put their minds to it. You can't expect to rely entirely on the screener. Your teammates cover for you. You also have to create good covering conditions for your teammates. This is mutual. .”

"Two people work together to create the best tactical effect."

Cole used a simple cover detail drill, which made the Clippers players nod again and again. It turns out that one cover has so many ways.

Lao Jin will not teach these things, because when they are players, pick-and-roll coverage is not the mainstream of tactics.

If they were asked to teach the players how to play in the low position, they would have a lot of stuff, but unfortunately they don't need it now.

At this moment, some loud and non-standard American English came from the gate, "Eat! Eat! Why is no one eating!"

Needless to say, Min Congda is here.

Min Congda has recently become obsessed with an entertainment project that is very suitable for people with nothing to do: fishing.

And as soon as he came up, he started with the high-end category of fishing, sea fishing.

Los Angeles is close to the sea, and a large number of ships are moored in the port, especially in San Diego.

The weather is sunny and sunny, and it is really great to take a boat with beautiful women to go fishing and drink in the Pacific Ocean.

Recently, Min Congda stopped picking up girls at Beckham's nightclub, but met a lot of business elites who have money and leisure.

Some of them are of Chinese descent. They admire Min Congda's yellow skin who has entered the top sports circle, and they all want to make friends with him.

In the past, Min Congda seldom dealt with such people because of "the same circle but different classes".

After more than a year of accumulation, Min Congda has a certain amount of wealth. Coupled with the recent losing streak of the Clippers, Apple's stock price has risen again and again.

More importantly, he feels that the goal of 3.6 million yuan is getting closer and closer to him!

The so-called money is the courage of a hero. With courage, Min Congda naturally dared to contact those seemingly unattainable groups.

After getting along with each other, Min Congda discovered that these people were not at the same level as Olshey and Rosser in terms of class height and social status, and were even inferior to Lao Deng and Lao Jin.

Olshey and Lao Deng are like grandsons in front of Min Congda every day, so it is not Min Congda who admires them, but they.

Knowing this, Min Congda relaxed completely, and went out to play with these people, go on a yacht, hold a party, and fish in the sea.

In return, if you get them some package tickets for important games, and ask for a few signed cards and shoes of the stars, they will be very grateful.

This made Min Congda feel more and more that the benefits of being the general manager of the Clippers are not just the reimbursement of expenses.

Among all the sports that he has played, sea fishing makes Min Congda feel the most enjoyable. After all, how many men can resist the temptation of fishing rods?

The team didn't practice yesterday. Min Congda and a few friends went fishing from daytime until late at night, and they didn't return to the port until the sun rose again this morning.

Min Congda brought the first green ghost knife in his fishing career to the restaurant of the training center, and asked the restaurant chef to make a pan-fried ghost knife for everyone to taste.

But when it was time for dinner, there was no one in the restaurant, and everyone was still training extra.

How could Min Congda bear it, and immediately went to the court to call everyone over for dinner. Nothing is more important than eating.

Among the many familiar faces, Min Congda saw the not-so-familiar Steve Kerr, and asked with his hips akimbo: "Steve Kerr? Why did you come to us for a meal?"

Cole smiled and said, "I can't help it. I can't stay with the Suns, and Turner TV doesn't want me anymore. I can only come to you for a meal."

Min Congda, Kerr's name, knew it. When he was the general manager of the Sun, Min Congda chatted with him on the phone.

Lao Jin reported to him that he was considering recruiting Steve Kerr to the Clippers as an offensive assistant coach, and Min Congda hesitated.

If a basketball veteran like Cole joins the team, will it have any positive impact?

If it can really improve the strength of the Clippers, Min Congda will never let him come to the team as an assistant coach.

Min Congda patted Cole's arm and said, "It's okay, we have a lot of food on the Clippers, and you are welcome to come and eat anytime."

Cole went to the restaurant for dinner with Min Congda. He didn't know that this meal was Min Congda's interview. How could he understand the Chinese tradition of deciding important events at the dinner table?
Sitting down in the restaurant, Min Congda began to ask Cole some basketball-related questions intentionally or unintentionally. He wanted to examine Cole's basic qualities.

"Steve, do you have experience as a basketball coach?"

"No, never. But I've never been a manager before."

"Yes, everyone has their first time. What do you think, if you are a coach, what requirements and ideas will you have for the team?"

"Requirements and ideas? Probably the same as Mr. Smart, you have no requirements and no ideas."

Cole thought it was a joke, but Min Congda applauded secretly in his heart, this is a fucking talent, and his thinking is very consistent with mine.

He asked again: "Do you know that the Clippers' team building strategy is that everyone has the ball to play?"

Cole nodded: "Of course I know, Hughes told me that I feel great, and I agree very much."

Min Congda added another point to Cole, but he thought about it again, maybe this guy didn't want to work in the Clippers, he just said that deliberately to cater to me, right?
So Min Congda continued to ask: "What do you think of the Chuanqie tactical system?"

This question made Cole ponder for a while, and said: "From the current situation, this is a very risky tactical choice. If it is not used properly, the team has the risk of collapse..."

Cole still had something to say later, when the pan-fried ghost knife made by the chef was brought up, the aroma was instantly tangy.

Min Congda interrupted Cole and said, "Steve, you have passed my interview, and you will come to the Staples Center to sign a contract and report tomorrow!"

Just because Cole said that the team is at risk of collapse, you are the first person to touch my real goal, you are my Min Congda's crouching dragon!

Cole was taken aback, this is your interview?Is it so casual?There is no one who pays close attention to thatched cottage?

Cole still tried to evade, saying, "But I still have a contract with Turner TV Network. If we terminate the contract now, we will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages."

It was great for Min Congda to hear it. He signed Wolong and paid a liquidated damages. What a double happiness!
"Liquidated damages, our Clippers will help you pay, take care of all your affairs, come to the Clippers to work, any time."

"Now, eat fish!"
