"Thank you for your support, Frank." Having some calculations in his mind, Ke Yan thanked Hamblen.

Generally speaking, if there is no big-name head coach, there will always be a chief assistant coach to act as the head coach. Kupchak should have also sought Hamblen's opinion, and the other party should also support him.

"You are more suitable than me."

The two have been working together for half a year, and Hamblen is well aware of how strong Ke Yan's ability is. "Standing deputy coach" is not only a tease for him by the fans, but also a true reflection of Ke Yan's scope of work and work ability.

In comparison, Hamblen feels that he is more suitable as an assistant coach. This position can better utilize his advantages of training and pre-game preparation.

That is, the morning after Ke Yan and Hamblen had breakfast, team owner Jerry Buss knocked on the office door.

"Mr. Jerry Buss, what's the matter?" When the opportunity came, Ke Yan looked extremely calm.

Jerry Bass looked at Keyan, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't see through this young Chinese man. He had never seen through it.

Thanks to some of the team's actions that have fueled the flames, Ke Yan is now well-known. From signing Anderson to improve the team's interior defense to designing offensive tactics, he has helped the Lakers become the top five team in the league in terms of offensive firepower in the new season. His credit is endless.

It goes without saying.

But what really makes Jerry Buss unable to see through is that Ke Yan clearly predicted that the Suns would rise in the new season, and also knew that the Lakers were in deep water, but he gave up the opportunity to easily brush up his resume and learn from Durant.

Take the "hardest road".

Is it for Tomjanovich's sake? Jerry Buss really doesn't think so. It's impossible for a person as determined as Ke Yan to do something that harms his future because of his past relationship.

"Can we chat for a few words?" Jerry Buss sighed complicatedly and asked politely.

Ke Yan works for him, can you say no? He immediately nodded and welcomed him in.

"Rudy submitted his resignation to me last night!" Jerry Buss said calmly.

Ke Yan's eyes flashed, but he didn't react much. It was just a matter of time.

"I have discussed with the management, and we hope that you can temporarily take charge of the team and serve as the team's acting coach until the new coach takes office!" Jerry Buss stared at Ke Yan and said.

Choosing Ke Yan is his best option. He is not yet 25 years old. If confirmed, he will become the youngest coach in NBA history. There are many players on the team who are even older than him.

But Jim Buss, Kupchak, Kobe Bryant and quite a few players in the locker room support him, and Jerry Buss has to consider these voices.

When Ke Yan and Hamblen were trying to maintain the stability of the team, and when they were still trying to reconcile the conflict between Kobe and Phil Jackson, Phil Jackson did not care about the interests of the team at all and spoke nonsense, which also accelerated Jerry's development.

Bass made the decision to choose Keyan!

"With Rudy's efforts, the team is in good shape. I hope you can maintain the team's current record.

Ke Yan still did not speak, because he understood that only by remaining silent at this time could he gain the greatest power for himself.

Sure enough, Jerry Buss saw Ke Yan was silent, paused, and then took the initiative: "I also know that it is not easy to take over such a job. You can be fully responsible for the team's affairs. Do you have any ideas for transactions and signings?"

, you can tell Mitch, if he doesn’t handle it, you can talk to me directly. In addition, we will also increase your salary appropriately, you can rest assured about this!"

Titles such as "the first Chinese NBA head coach" and "the youngest head coach in NBA history" can bring much more potential benefits to Ke Yan than the salary increase! Therefore, Ke Yan does not care so much about the salary increase. He is more

What matters most is the rights Buss gave him, that is, the rights to "trade" and "sign." If he can bring the players he wants, he is confident that he can support this Lakers team that should have sunk!

"Mr. Jerry Buss, don't worry, I will do my best!"

After hearing these words, Jerry Bass was satisfied. After a few more words of encouragement to Keyan, he went out.

After Jerry Buss left, Ke Yan suddenly laughed.

He has been waiting for this opportunity since he left the Suns, and now, the opportunity has finally come!

After walking out of the office, Ke Yan immediately went to find Hamblen and explained the team's decision to let him take over temporarily.

"This should be the best decision for the team!" Hamblen said.

When the training ended, team general manager Kupchak came out of the office, called the players together, and announced the appointment of Ke Yan as the team's acting head coach.

"Wow! I just said it would be best for the team to let Kimi take over!" Anderson was the first to shout.

Butler is also very happy. Without Ke Yan, he may not be able to become the main force so easily. Maybe he is still competing for the best sixth man now!

Other players are not as emotional as Anderson, but how can I put it, except for Kobe, Walton, and Mihm, the others have only joined the Lakers this season. Ke Yan knows them well. If there is a new appointment,

The head coach, players and coaches have to get along with each other.

For most people, the result of Key Yan ascending to the throne is at least not bad!

Seeing the players in high spirits, Ke Yan nodded slightly: "Very good, it seems that my work as an assistant coach during this period has been recognized by everyone."

"Recently, we suffered two consecutive defeats! There are many reasons, and they are not all your responsibility. But I believe that everyone is a very professional player. After the storm, we should adjust to the best condition in time! Hello everyone in the evening

LeBron!"

Tomjanovich resigned and Ke Yan took over. This news caused a moderate response in the NBA. After all, it was the "genius assistant" who had been hyped by the Los Angeles media for half a season. After Phil Jackson officially announced his rejection of the Lakers, Ke Yan

There have always been rumors of succession, but most fans still don't believe that the Lakers will directly appoint such a young Ke Yan. But when the facts are before their eyes and Jerry Buss decided to bet on Ke Yan, most people have

Psychological expectations, you may have doubts, but you will not resist.

On the contrary, in the Chinese sports circle, this news caused an earthquake. Everyone is still looking forward to when Yi Jianlian will participate in the draft, but someone is rushing to land in the NBA before him! If the news that Ke Yan previously served as an assistant coach in the NBA has made most

Basketball fans knew of his existence, so his appointment as head coach made 90% of sports fans and quite a few passers-by remember this catchy name: Ke Yan!

Ke Yan became a hot figure, and the "Sports World" column in the evening temporarily devoted 10 minutes to give a brief introduction to Ke Yan. At the same time, the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers also replaced the Chinese Dragon Boat Race.

, was included in CCTV’s broadcast plan for the next morning!
