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

Chapter 437 Uniting People Who Can Unite (Part [-])
On the morning of the 21st, after the head coach signing conference of Tyronn Lue was held, Min Congda heaved a sigh of relief.

One of the things that had been bothering him lately finally came to fruition, and he paid the price for his less prudent choices.

The life experience of the head coach for more than a month is really bad. He plans not to participate in the team game tonight, but to go to nightclubs and bars to relax.

Since he became the coach of the team, Min Congda has not really relaxed for too long in preparation for this busy and compact season.

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

It's still bad, like a tired dog every day, what kind of bad performance is it.

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

Because the opponent of the Clippers tonight is the boy who sent points, the Minnesota Timberwolves!

Min Congda hated the Timberwolves team.

It is not easy to win some money from him if he plays blindly and loses all the time.

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

The Timberwolves played away games, and they got nothing in the free market in the summer.

The only gain is the head coach, they signed the famous coach Rick Adelman.

I hope this highly respected and capable coach can lead the Timberwolves to rise again.

But Adelman, like Dunleavy, was the pinnacle when he debuted, leading the Blazers to the finals.

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

After leading the Kings to the Western Conference Finals in the 00s, they fell to the feet of Phil Jackson's Lakers.

From this point of view, Adelman and Mike - Dunleavy is really difficult brother.

At the beginning, he died at the peak of Jackson. In the later stage, he wanted to rise up again, but 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 the beginning, 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 the coach, don't expect to accumulate step by step.

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

The current lineup of the Timberwolves, with Love as the core, Thabeet and Foye are all abolished.

Luke Ridnour was recruited at the back line, and Wesley Johnson was recruited on the front line... These are players who are on the bench in other teams.

It's just such a patchwork. If you want to be popular but not popular, and if you want a team that is not strong, how can you play against the Clippers?

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

Not having to be the head coach, not having to stare from the sidelines, made him feel quite comfortable.

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

Christopher was busy entertaining Min Congda.

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

At that time, his expression was ashen and pale, and his whole body exuded a rotten aura.

Now he was wearing a slightly yellowish, somewhat smoky chef's robe, and he had a strong fragrance on his body.

His face and hair are greasy and shiny, which makes people feel very kind.

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

Is this the same red-headed boot that terrorized West Coast gangsters 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 Donaghy's case now? Is there any progress?"

Min Congda ate some French fries and said, "Progress? What progress can there be? I guess no one will investigate this matter. A person who everyone wants him to die is really dead now. Who cares how he died?" of."

Donaghy's death is really a bit "popular".

The NBA has been cooperating with the FBI for many years. If the NBA is determined to investigate, there should be progress soon.

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

With the start of the new season, everyone gradually forgets about this murder case. It may take many years before there are any clues or progress, and it may even become an unsolved case forever.

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

Christopher shook his head quickly, and said, "No, no, can I have any clues... Do you want another drink?"

"Let's have another cup, drink some coffee to refresh yourself ~ Christopher, is there any fun nightclub in Los Angeles, can you recommend it?"

"Nightclubs... I haven't been there for a long time. Besides, there's still a game tonight, don't you want to participate?"

"No, no, no, the opponent is the Timberwolves. It's not interesting. I want to go out and relax. Now that I am not the head coach, I have finally liberated myself..."

Min Congda looked at the field below, where the Clippers were warming up.

Tyronn Lue was standing on the sidelines in his sportswear, discussing something with the assistant coaches of the coaching staff.

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

However, he is neither a powerful faction like Min Congda, nor an idol faction like Byrd and Riley.

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

The team's biggest power figure is naturally Min Congda, and now his authority is stronger than the team owner Sterling.

But after he left the post of head coach, the distance between him and the team was far away, and he could no longer rely on him.

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

But the capital city is too far away, you still have to rely on the county masters and government servants to do things, they are the ones who are closer to the business authority.

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

Building a good relationship with the star players and forming a close alliance has always been the best choice for a new coach to take office to consolidate his position.

But the star of the Clippers is not obvious. Unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers, James is the absolute boss, the emperor of Ohio, just hug his thigh and it's over.

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

If you want to say that the player with the deepest qualifications, it should be Zach Randolph. He is the mainstay of the team's interior, but he is not a superstar.

And those in the locker room who can speak, Ricky Davis and Derek Fisher are all veterans who can speak.

Generally speaking, the Clippers are not a team built around a certain two superstars, and everyone has the right to speak.

Therefore, Tyronn Lue turned his power to his assistant coaching staff.

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

But Tyronn Lu's situation is different. He is replacing Min Congda, and Min Congda has no intention of letting Tyronn Lu himself "form a cabinet".

Tyronn Lue must cooperate with these veterans and use their strength to control the team.

According to Tyronn Lue's observation, the person he needs to unite with the most is his competitor, Steve Kerr.

Therefore, before the start of this game, Tyronn Lue has been trying to exchange views with Cole.

I want to ask him how to arrange and play tonight's game.

But Cole didn't know if there was resentment in his heart. He kept saying, "You are the head coach, and we will listen to your arrangements."

It makes Tyronn Lu a little passive now, what's going on, is it possible to ask Mr. Smart for a small note?
