Chapter 1008 Iverson is Coming



While the Seattle Supersonics were dealing with the draft and contract renewals, Carlesimo had officially broken up. Carlesimo had already stated that he had been deceived by the Seattle Supersonics, and expressed his gratitude to the Supersonics for their actions. condemned, but because he really has no status in the coaching world, many people have no impression of this head coach who was kicked out just after leading the team to the championship. It didn't have any impact, and the team still won the championship. It's almost the same with him or without him.update the fastest

It is this kind of performance that makes people doubt his ability and level even more, so no one has any sympathy for him. After the relationship broke down completely, according to Chris Hansen's thoughts, regarding the team's playoffs Carlesimo doesn't even have to think about the bonus, the salary will naturally be given to you, but is this bonus an extra income, and it is useless even if you go to court, but at Presti's insistence Under the circumstances, Chris Hansen finally agreed to give the money to Carlesimo, 17 US dollars. After receiving the money, Carlesimo was quite acquainted, so he called Stephen and asked him to thank Prey sti.

After the two sides lost the possibility of cooperation, Presti started the internal selection of the head coach. First of all, the team must find the head coach. If the head coach is already at home, it is easy to say and contact the other party directly. That's it, the other party agrees to coach, and then negotiates to determine the contract, but if the other party still has a certain team as the head coach or assistant coach, you have to contact the other team and let them agree to the contact between the two parties.

But the Seattle Supersonics don't need to be so troublesome. They don't care much about the head coaches or assistant coaches of other teams. There are several head coaches waiting to choose from just being idle at home. Why don't they choose from other teams? Grab someone in your hand.

However, the choice of the head coach is not an easy task. In this regard, it is especially necessary to listen to Stephen's opinions. For this reason, Presti sat down with Stephen, drinking the tea that Stephen likes to drink, While discussing what kind of head coach to hire. [

First of all, head coaches without proven records can be excluded. For the Supersonics, which still aim at the championship next season, it is impossible to let a head coach without proven records practice. Among the head coaches who have proven their records, not many are at home, and at the same time, not many meet the needs of the team.

The first condition Stephen put forward was that the new head coach must know how to defend. Presti was very surprised by this, but Stephen had his own opinion. The current offensive mode of the Seattle SuperSonics is very complete, especially Carlesimo left behind a large number of unimplemented tactical plans. Although there is a need to worry about some changes to these tactics due to Carlesimo's leaks, these tactics are still very valuable to this Sonics team.

In terms of offense, tactics and players' personal abilities and coordination actually complement each other. Tactics cannot completely replace players' personal abilities. Similarly, if a team only has "chaotic" games, it will not win the championship. Said, in terms of offense, Stephen still trusts Carlesimo.

Stephen, who came out of the San Antonio Spurs, deeply understands the importance of defense, especially in the playoffs. If the Sonics' defense is not better than the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers, the team would not be able to With the victory, Stephen believes that the team's offense has nothing to improve, as evidenced by the league's highest scoring average and field goal percentage, but in terms of defense, the team still has a lot of room for improvement.

Similarly, choosing a defensive head coach can also share the pressure on Stephen. The team's defense needs Stephen's driving too much. At the same time, as long as Stephen is on the field, Stephen not only needs to drive the team's defense, but also undertakes the heaviest defensive task. , This also affected Stephen's offensive performance, so Stephen wanted to find a defensive head coach, so that he could reduce his burden and allow himself to focus more on offense and control the game.

"For a defensive head coach, do you still need to have a record?" After thinking about it, Presti's eyes lit up immediately, and he said to Stephen, "I have thought of a candidate, but I think since you said so, there must be one." For our own candidate, why not write his name on paper to see if it is the same person.”

Stephen nodded after hearing this, and then the two wrote a name each, and after exchanging with each other, they saw that they were indeed the same person, and the two burst out laughing. Jeff Van Gundy, among the head coaches who are currently at home, No one who can meet the conditions mentioned by Stephen is more suitable than Jeff Van Gundy.

The most worrying thing now is whether Jeff Van Gundy is willing to return to the coaching position. Although he still has a contract with ESPN, a person like him must have an exemption clause when signing the contract. As long as there is an opportunity to coach, the TV station can't stop it, so his current job should not be a problem, mainly depends on whether Jeff Van Gundy himself is willing to return to the job of head coach.

Judging from his work status on ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy is completely different from him as a head coach. It is not just as simple as witty words and a happy smile. It can be seen that he is very suitable for this kind of work and is very happy. Although the salary of being a commentator is much higher than that of the head coach, it depends on whether you are happy or not.

I think the Houston Rockets proposed a contract with an annual salary of more than 500 million US dollars, but they did not impress Jeff Van Gundy. It is also difficult to say whether the Supersonics can impress him now, although there are many possibilities Win the championship, but people with strong self-esteem may not be willing to accept such a job.

However, the Sonics also have an advantage, that is Yao Ming. Jeff Van Gundy and Yao Ming cooperated happily when they were in the Rockets. I don’t know if Yao Ming can persuade him to agree, but Jeff Van Gundy’s salary needs Much higher than Carlesimo, don't know if Chris Hansen agrees or not.

Unexpectedly, Presti told Chris Hansen that Chris Hansen is very interested in Jeff Van Gundy. As for the salary, it is not a problem at all. A famous coach like Jeff Van Gundy, even if the salary is higher, it is completely worth it. Yes, Chris Hansen’s concern is that Jeff Van Gundy is a bit too unkempt. Many manufacturers’ endorsements are to let the spokespersons use their own products, except for Jeff Van Gundy. His father thought his son was already a successful person, so he gave him I bought two or three sets of Armani suits, but Jeff Van Gundy still stayed up late and slept on the sofa every day. As a result, the clothes didn’t look good. In the end, in order to maintain their clothing image, the Armani company contacted Jeff Van Gundy, hoping that they would pay After a sum of money, Jeff Van Gundy was able to forego wearing Amal's suit.

So Chris Hansen's condition is that when Jeff Van Gundy appears in front of the media or on the sidelines on behalf of the team, he must meet the requirements of the team's image consultant. The team is now a successful team. After Chris Hansen communicated, Presti ordered the team's staff to draft the contract, and at the same time contacted Yao Ming, who was holding a business event in Florida, and asked Yao Ming to test Jeff Van Gundy's tone first.

After Yao Ming helped the team win the championship, the Reebok company he endorsed attached great importance to it. After all, among their endorsed stars, this was the first one to win the championship. Although Yao Ming was not the boss of the team, he did not win The Most Valuable Player of the Finals, but his performance in sweeping the Orlando Magic not only proved that he is the number one center in the league, but also the second contributor to the Sonics' victory, so a series of commercial activities were specially organized for him , At the same time, their Allen Iverson, Jason Terry and other players also attended the event. As a result, Presti did not speak, and Yao Ming spoke first: "Mr. General Manager, Allen Iverson wants to join our team." Team."
