Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Cooperation..." Dayao leaned against the door and looked at a piece of paper left for him by Zuo Li in his hand. On it were some plans that would surely detonate the entire Chinese basketball world if leaked.

If Dayao hands over this plan to the guys from the Basketball Association at this time, maybe Zuo Li will be immediately classified as persona non grata. Although... it seems to be of no use. No matter how awesome the Chinese Basketball Association is in China, it can still

Impact abroad?

What's more, Zuo Li has already become a towering tree.

but…

What surprised Dayao was that Zuo Li really knew a lot about domestic basketball, and this plan was so bold that Dayao had to admit that it was indeed very tempting, especially for a guy like himself who was about to retire.

.

"Then I will...wait for your news." Dayao clasped his hands together and carefully put the piece of paper away.

Not far away, Zuo Li, who was leaving in a hurry, was still waving his hand. This trip was too urgent, otherwise he would have to discuss the next plan with Dayao.

Regarding the country, Zuo Like has never forgotten it.

Dayao: "Well, it seems that there is a guy who has thought more thoroughly than me, but he just doesn't know what he wants to do, but it doesn't matter. The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. Now he probably doesn't have time to care about it. And now,

It's time for a training session. Maybe things will turn around for retirement..."

…

Here Dayao closes the door and fights for his last basketball dream. Over there, Zuo Li, who had just left not far away before getting in the car, received a call from Deshuai. On the phone, Deshuai happily told Zuo Li that the coaching staff

The reinforcement plan has begun to take shape.

"Steve Kerr has agreed. He is in New York now, but he said he wants to meet you. What do you think?"

"Of course. My journey in Houston has come to an end. The next step is management. I will fly back to New York immediately. Tomorrow morning, we will make an appointment and we will sit down and chat." Zuo Li said excitedly.

This can be regarded as a double blessing. Battier has been taken care of, and now the coach has an idea, so the reinforcement plan for the new season is going more smoothly.

Don't underestimate the role of a coach. Even an assistant coach is indispensable to a team. Look at the coaching lineup when the Celtics won the championship in 2008. Rivers is surrounded by many coaches who will shine in the league in the future.

.

Including Gentry, Thibodeau and Tyronn Lue.

These three, Gentry is in charge of offensive tactics, Thibodeau is in charge of defense, and Tyronn Lue is in charge of coordinating transitions. These are also the backbone of the Celtics' championship in 2008.

So a good coaching team will definitely take the team to the next level.

D'Antoni's original favorite assistant coach candidate was none other than Mark Jackson, the invisible founder of the Golden State dynasty, who really knows the team's offensive tactics.

After Zuo Li made suggestions to him, the German coach also conducted a series of inspections and finally felt that Mark Jackson was really good. It's just a pity that Mark Jackson has accepted the Warriors' invitation and will go to Golden State to replace Nelson.

Ban, became the head coach of the Warriors.

Putting the head coach and assistant coach together, this choice is not surprising.

Fortunately, Zuo Li and the others also have a backup plan, which is Stephen Cole, whom Zuo Li and D'Antoni had mentioned before.

This summer, Cole just resigned from the Phoenix Suns and is now idle at home. Yes, after winning the championship with the Spurs again in the 2002-03 season, Cole retired and became a commentator for TNT. However, in 2007, Cole

I left TNT to become the general manager of the Suns. It can be said that D'Antoni and Steve Kerr are definitely old acquaintances.

Although D'Antoni initially had doubts about whether Cole, the former general manager of the Suns, and his immediate boss could be qualified for the role of assistant coach, given his trust in Zuo Li and the fact that Cole did have experience as an assistant coach when he was with the Spurs,

He was once a member of the Bulls dynasty at its peak, so D'Antoni still extended an invitation to Cole.

Cole was very surprised when he received the invitation. His first reaction was to refuse, not only because he had never been an assistant coach before, but also because he was psychologically repulsed by being asked to help D'Antoni. After all, three years ago,

, he is also D’Antoni’s immediate boss, and it was he who approved D’Antoni’s resignation application.

But after calming down, Cole couldn't help but feel a little excited, because he knew that this was a good opportunity to become a coach!

Cole hopes to become a coach, which is the biggest reason for his resignation. Although he is a good commentator, has a stable income, and has no pressure, as a coach who once followed two legendary coaches, Phil Jackson and Popovich,

For Cole, becoming a successful head coach is what he dreams of.

But it is a pity that after so many years, no team has invited him, not even as an assistant coach, let alone a head coach.

It’s not easy to get an invitation from a team, and it’s still a newly minted championship team. D’Antoni is indeed a master-level coach. Is he really going to refuse this excellent opportunity just because of a little pride?

The answer is of course no!

Just one day later, Steve Kerr decided to accept the invitation to join D'Antoni's coaching team. As for the conditions, on the one hand, he wanted to find a step for himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see Zuo Li, the absolute Knicks coach.

Whether the core is easy to get along with or not.

The subsequent meeting dispelled Cole's doubts. Zuo Li sincerely welcomed him to the Knicks family and asked him a lot about his understanding of the game and the development direction of offensive tactics, which flattered Cole.

After the meeting, Cole also felt that he had met him too late. He couldn't help but feel that he really came to the right place with the Knicks.

So that night, an excited Cole signed with the Knicks.

On June 30, the Knicks officially announced that Cole officially joined D'Antoni's coaching team and will be responsible for formulating offensive tactics in the new season and will be responsible for the training of the Knicks' outside team.

One day later, Battier's trade was completed immediately. The Knicks and the Rockets made a trade. The Knicks sent Wilson Chandler and rookie Whiteside in exchange for Rockets captain Sean Battier!

This is also the first trade that broke out in the league this season!

As if the signal was ignited, the free market was turbulent for a while, and various teams took action one after another. The various transactions were dizzying. In just 3 or 4 days, there were 20 transactions in the league.

However, the Knicks, who fired the first shot, remained on hold. It was not until July 7 that the Knicks made another official announcement, but this time it was still the coach, Ron Adams, the assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors and the coach in charge of defensive tactics.

D'Antoni's team!

This also means that the Knicks coaching staff has officially been strengthened.

While fans were waiting for the Knicks to make further big moves, the Knicks announced on the 8th that the team had completed all signings for this summer.

Reinforcement, he's done!

The fans were stunned and the media was spartan...

Look at the date, it’s just been a week since the start of the summer transfer period...
