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

Chapter 430 A New Candidate (Fourth Change)
On the morning of January 1th, the Clippers' training center.

A simple but important interview will take place here.

Min Congda's sudden resignation made the Clippers head coach vacant.

After the back-to-back Devils schedule ended, the Clippers got a precious two days off.

Min Congda will use these two days to pick a new navigator for the team, trying to lead the team into the pit.

Entering the selection considerations are Mark Jackson, Negro, Clippers assistant coach Kim Hughes and Steve Kerr.

Of course, in Min Congda's heart, Jin Hughes and Cole were just running along to make up the number.

The real candidate has a high probability of being produced between Mark Jackson and Nigro.

In the morning, there was an interview. Candidates had to explain their team leadership philosophy and answer some questions from the interviewer.

The interviewers consisted of five people, Min Congda, Jeff Ball, Olshey, Rosser and Rob Richley.

The content of the question is not limited to basketball tactics, but also includes psychology, interpersonal relationship management, team culture construction and other aspects.

After the interview, the five people will vote for the first time to choose the two people who think they are the most suitable, and enter the afternoon session.

Although it was voted by five people, Min Congda had the final decision, while Operations Officer Jeff Bauer had a veto.

That is to say, if Min Congda is not satisfied with the results of the five-person voting, he can propose a candidate himself.

At the same time, Jeff Ball felt that Min Congda's decision was not good, and he could veto Min Congda's candidate.

After vetoing, the five people re-deliberated and voted until the best candidate was reached.

Such a rigorous interview process was proposed by Min Congda.

He hoped that this selection could carry out his own will and not choose the best one.

At the same time, he was afraid that he would make a problem with his operation and choose someone who was very suitable for the Clippers, so he asked Jeff Ball to veto him at a critical moment.

In his opinion, this wave is double insurance, and the ideal head coach will definitely be selected!

The interview went smoothly, and Jackson and Nigro, who were introduced, made full preparations.

The two explained their respective team building concepts and what kind of tactical system they will lead the Clippers to play this season.

Nigro is young and passionate. His team building philosophy is somewhat similar to Min Congda's, which is to give full play to the potential of the bench and follow the team basketball route.

He believes that the Clippers team has huge potential to be tapped. Min Congda's victory in the first six games has proved that the Clippers may become the best team in the league.

I don't know if Nigro proposed such a team building strategy to please Min Congda. In short, his idea of ​​wanting the Clippers to inherit the same tactics is flattering.

From the beginning to the end, Min Congda didn't ask Negro any questions, he had already voted against Negro in his heart.

Rosser and Olshey are quite satisfied with Negro.

They feel that with Negro as the head coach, the team can continue to rotate and maintain the current state.

The next interview was Mark Jackson, whose reputation was much greater than that of Negro.

A very characteristic point guard in the player era, known as the "worst physical fitness" NBA player.

Since he has the worst physical fitness, he can still survive in the league for so many years and get more than 1 assists, which is enough to show that his basketball IQ is good enough.

Mark Jackson put forward a completely different team building plan from Negro's during the interview.

He said that he will build a team completely around Harden and Curry, so that the double guards will become the absolute core of tactics.

Randolph, Gasol Jr. and others are just supporting roles, and they are tactical supplements.

At the same time, the team needs to change the previous pass-and-cut system, adopt a pick-and-roll system, and at the same time slow down the pace and strengthen defense.

Min Congda was a little interested in Mark Jackson's plan.

He took the initiative to ask Jackson, "Why should Curry and Harden be the absolute core?"

Jackson said: "Because they are young, they will grow into superstars in the league in the future! Randolph and Gasol are just All-Stars. Especially Curry, I think he will be an MVP-level star in the future."

Min Congda doesn't like to hear these words, what do you mean?You mean my pick of two guards, one MVP, one superstar?
Especially Curry, who is also an MVP-level superstar, why can't I see it?
If Curry really becomes an MVP-level superstar, then Min Congda's face really has nowhere to put it.

Why is it so unlucky? Could it be that the first choice at the beginning of the mission planted the seeds of disaster?

But whether you like it or not, Min Congda still appreciates Mark Jackson's plan.

Because he is different from the current Clippers system, if the team wants to make changes because of this, it will definitely damage the team's chemical reaction.

Also, Mark Jackson is smart and capable, but it is said that he is quite selfish and has a low EQ.

In 17 seasons in his career, he changed 7 teams and was traded many times. He also played for the Clippers for two years.

The reason why he always changes teams is because he doesn't get along well with the rest of the team, and he always has conflicts with his teammates and coaches.

For the stability of the locker room, the team often sends him away to ensure the stability of the locker room.

Employees and colleagues with strong abilities and distasteful personalities are quite common in life.

Take it out alone and see that you can make a contribution, but if you put it in a team, it will easily have a negative impact after a long time.

And this point is what Min Congda admired, so he voted for Mark Jackson.

In the back, Kim Hughes and Steve Kerr seemed to Min Congda to be just make up.

Lao Jin didn't have the idea and talent to be a head coach, so he felt very comfortable as an assistant coach.

He just wanted to gather the number of people, so he gave it a try. Simply put, there is no bright spot, and he will be eliminated.

And Steve Kerr gave the most comprehensive and complete team building plan, and he has already started to prepare.

The passing and cutting system was originally perfected by him, and he further proposed a variety of tactical possibilities and combination strategies.

It can be said that he took out all the things in his bottom box, and his interview content is the most abundant and the effect is the best.

Basically, except for Min Congda, everyone else voted for Steve Kerr.

The round of interviews is over, and the results come out. If the votes are followed, Cole and Nigro will enter the second round, which is the interview in the afternoon.

However, Min Congda was not satisfied with Negro. He had already taken a fancy to Mark Jackson in his heart, so he exercised his right to suggest and carried Mark Jackson into the second round for the afternoon test.

Roser and the others only followed Min Congda's lead, so naturally they would not object. The only one who had the right to object was the former Hornets manager, Min Congda's youngest, Jeff Ball.

Bauer pondered for a while, and said: "Smart, I want to veto your proposal. I don't think Mark Jackson is suitable to enter the next round."

Min Congda said, "Then do you think Nigro is more suitable?"

Ball shook his head: "Jackson is too selfish, and Negro lacks some qualities of a good head coach. In fact, I still have another candidate. I wonder if I can let him try?"

Min Congda suddenly became interested. It seemed that neither Jackson nor Negro could satisfy Bauer. Who else caught his eye?
"Whoever it is, you might as well ask him to have a try."

"It's Celtics assistant coach, Tyronn Lue."
