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

Chapter 429 The Undefeated Bishop (Third)

After the game with the Mavericks, the Clippers won six consecutive victories.

They survived the difficult back-to-back and declared the Clippers' rise this season with a big victory.

It has to be said that Min Congda's 15-man rotation at the beginning of the season had an unintentional effect.

When other teams face such a harsh schedule of back-to-back, most of them will choose to rest their main players.

For example, the Lakers will rest Paul and Kobe in the face of a dense schedule, which has led to their current record of 4 wins and 2 losses, which has fallen behind the Clippers.

Everyone in the Clippers returned to the locker room. Everyone was talking and laughing happily. Everyone patted Curry's little head vigorously in recognition of his explosive performance tonight.

Curry was the best player of the night, grinning behind his ears when interviewed by reporters.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Curry followed Min Congda to the post-match press conference.

Compared with Curry's relaxed and cheerful appearance, Min Congda looked serious. After answering a few questions from the reporter, he announced: "I want to use this press conference to announce one thing. The last game I participated in. At the end of this game, I will step down as a coach and return to the position of general manager. The new head coach of the Clippers will be announced before the next game, and the team will hold a press conference Announce the candidates."

This undoubtedly dropped a blockbuster to the press conference.

Just like Min Congda's announcement of becoming the head coach before, his announcement of resignation also caught everyone off guard.

Curry, who was grinning happily just now, suddenly restrained his smile. He grabbed Min Congda's arm and asked, "What are you talking about Smart? You're not a coach anymore?"

Min Congda said: "Yes, aren't you dissatisfied with my rotation and too little playing time?"

Curry said: "That was only at the beginning, we didn't quite understand. Now we all understand your intentions, we have been winning, haven't we?"

Just resigned because he was winning all the time!
As long as 15 people are rotated and no command can start the effect, I, Smart, am still willing to endure the hell position of the head coach.

Now, I can't lose a game, it's like being under a spell.

You are very capable now, and you don’t need to command on the court, you can discuss how to play by yourself.

Then I have to find you a troublesome coach.

The reporters below were all chaotic, and one of the reporters asked: "Mr. Smart, why did you resign as the head coach? The team's record is obviously very good, and your command and tactics are very effective."

Min Congda smiled and said: "I decided to resign due to personal reasons. There is still a lot of work to be done in the position of general manager, and the part-time head coach has distracted me a lot of energy. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the team's record. It is me. A matter of personal choice."

This is true. During this period of time, Min Congda obviously felt that his quality of life had declined.

I have less free time and less time to sleep in.

And because of running back and forth, health problems have occurred, and the state has become very poor.

It is a wise choice to choose to give up the position of head coach, otherwise it will be a double blow to the body and spirit, and this day will not be able to survive.

Now that Min Congda's departure from the head coach position is a foregone conclusion, everyone is more concerned about who the Clippers' next head coach will be.

The reporters all speculated that it might be Steve Kerr or Mike Dunleavy's comeback. After all, the two have no business problems.

But Min Congda made it clear: "The new head coach will be selected through interviews, and I will carefully select the new head coach as the Clippers' navigator, sailing towards unknown seas."

As a result, everyone speculated that the new head coach will not be selected among the Clippers' existing assistant coaches.

This made Steve Cole, who was accompanying Min Congda on the other side, look ugly.

After hearing that Min Congda was about to step down, Cole thought his chance had come.

It would be best for Smart to announce Cole as the Clippers head coach directly at the press conference.

Unexpectedly, Min Congda said that there was still an interview and selection. Could it be that someone from outside should be hired as the head coach?

Cole is dissatisfied. If Min Congda is obedient as the head coach, there will be another person. Unless Dunleavy returns, or someone at the level of Jackson or Larry Brown, Cole will not be willing to assist.

So as soon as the press conference was over, Cole approached Min Congda in private and said he wanted to chat with him.

Min Congda had expected this a long time ago, and said, "Steve, do you want to be the new head coach of the Clippers?"

Cole nodded and said, "That's right, I think I have the ability and qualifications, let me try."

Min Congda thought to himself, it is because you have this ability and qualification that you are not allowed to do it!

You returned my Crouching Dragon, clearly an undercover agent.

I really misunderstood Cole. I thought he was ambitious and talented, and he had nothing.

Unexpectedly, this person has great ambition and ability, and he is dedicated to making contributions in the coaching position, which is a disaster.

But because of his excellent work performance and strong professional ability, Min Congda had no reason to fire him.

If the selection of a new coach this time can make Cole feel aggrieved and resign and leave the Clippers, it would be a good thing.

"Then when I was the head coach, why didn't you stand up and say, you want to sit in this position?"

"Because... because I know, I'm not as good as you, Mr. Smart, but if it's someone else, I'm as good as them. I know the team better, I know how to lead the team to win, this season is very good for us. Great opportunity..."

Cole wanted to continue, but Min Congda stopped him.

"Needless to say, don't worry, you are also on the shortlist. It is because this season is a very good opportunity for us, so I have to be cautious. I don't even believe in myself, and I feel that I am not qualified for the job of coaching the team. Tomorrow we will have an interview at the training center, so you should come too."

Min Congda patted Cole on the shoulder, giving him a glimmer of hope.

But Min Congda knew that Kerr would definitely not be able to become the head coach of the Clippers.

If he runs away because of this, Min Congda's treacherous calculation will succeed.

But Cole's expression on his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't know what his true thoughts were.

Soon, the whole team knew the news of Min Congda's resignation as head coach.

Everyone was surprised, the team was obviously winning, why didn't they do it?
Moreover, the Mavericks won this game really well, and Min Congda's command and prediction were perfect.

The defending champion was so tightly controlled, there was no chance of turning around.

However, Min Congda insisted repeatedly that "for personal reasons, he will not stay in the post", and everyone expressed his understanding.

Anyway, he is not the head coach, and he will continue to stay in the Clippers.

The relationship between coaches and players is both cooperative and confrontational.

It is easy for players to have conflicts with coaches.

Because of the rotation of 15 people before, some dissatisfaction has already grown in the locker room.

Now that Min Congda has returned to the position of general manager, everyone is relieved.

After all, everyone doesn't want to have a conflict with Mr. Smart, and it is very contradictory emotionally.

This big victory has undoubtedly become the best retirement gift.

Min Congda's short coaching career has come to an end.

His 6 wins and 6 wins also made him an undefeated bishop with a 100% winning rate!
Regardless of the number of games played, he is the coach with the highest winning percentage in NBA history.

"It seems that I really have a bit of basketball talent."
