NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 37: With this resume, I believe you are a time traveler!

Butler University basketball assistants picked up their cellphones and filmed the scene.

The two young men looked at each other from a distance, with Haywood, the strongest forward in the history of Butler University, who was a bit embarrassed, sandwiched between them.

Wow!

Individual invitation!!

In front of the Butler University varsity students!

The boss alone comes to recruit!

No one had ever seen this scene before, and Coach Stevens was also stunned. Of course he knew the new boss in the Big Apple and what his words meant.

It means that the candidate for the Knicks head coach who has been waiting for him is actually him???

It was a lie that the young marshal, who was only 33 years old, was not moved. His Adam's apple twitched. Looking at Jiang Chao who was just smiling and waiting for him, he felt like he was dreaming.

"Well, wait a minute."

He turned to Heywood and others and ordered: "Free training first, I will have a few words with the guests from afar."

"Go coach Brad!"

"Congratulations to coach for your promotion!"

"let's go!"

"Come on, coach!"

"Boss Jiang, you saw the right person!"

"New York! The coach is going to the big city!"

The students were more excited than the young marshal. It was obvious that the young marshal had a very good character and everyone was booing.

Haywood was the last to react. Jiang Chao actually did it for his head coach. Although he was a little reluctant to leave, he went up to hug Stevens and patted his shoulder:

"Young Marshal, you are going to become famous! Your stage is here!"

Some of the senior players cried. This has been their youth for four years.

Here, Coach Stevens made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Chao:

"Boss Jiang Chao, I'm sorry. Shall we go to the conference room to chat?"

"Yeah, okay."

The two entered a simple conference room next to the arena. The players had no time to train freely now. They were all shooting baskets and quietly listening to the sound in the conference room. The shocking news had been spread throughout the campus forum.

This small university suddenly welcomed a distinguished guest from New York worth 2 billion!!

And it spread to the basketball world at a very fast speed.

Because Jiang Chao named the topic in his first sentence, he wanted to invite the head coach of Butler University's men's basketball team to come to the Knicks to be the head coach!

Steady, accurate and ruthless!

"Let me finish the sausage first."

After Jiang Chao finished eating the sausage, he felt a little uneasy when he looked at the bright-eyed and energetic young head coach in front of him.

The Green Army coach who was later to be graceful and graceful, who took charge of the world from the sidelines, and later became the general manager behind the scenes, was now pouring mineral water for him in front of his eyes.

"The conditions are simple and there is no boss to drink the tea you like."

The young marshal smiled slightly, and this smile later fascinated many female fans at the scene, because he had this smile when he faced helpless things when he was coaching.

"It's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I have good tea there."

Every move he made was similar to what Jiang Chao ideally wanted as the head coach he was looking for.

Zongzhi's handsome and handsome young man is like a jade tree before the wind!

Coupled with his resume, he also looks like a man with a system.

His fate with basketball is similar to that of Jiang Chao. He loved basketball from the beginning and has never played in the NCAA. He graduated from DePauw University with a bachelor's degree in economics.

Perhaps due to economic reasons, he later used careful calculation for every player in his coaching process.

After graduating, I worked in a pharmaceutical company. It seemed that my life would never be related to the basketball career again.

But at the turn of the millennium, he miraculously resigned from his job as director of marketing operations at Eli Lilly and Company and joined Butler University as an unpaid basketball volunteer.

His love for basketball is beyond imagination, and he has accomplished many things that modern people dare not do.

Resign, listen to Blue Lotus, and pursue your dreams!

It’s hard to attribute Stevens’ success to luck. If you also started watching game videos at the age of 6, took a girl to a basketball game on his first date, and abandoned his official job to become an unpaid basketball volunteer...

Maybe you can also realize your dream of coaching an NBA head coach.

"Boss Jiang, have you heard of me? This surprises me."

"I know your deeds very clearly." Later generations of Jiang Chao knew his life experience clearly through female fans.

If he didn't have a wife and children, those female fans would be even crazier.

After Stevens quit his job, he lived in a friend's basement, volunteering and working in restaurants to make ends meet.

By chance, a basketball operations coordinator position opened up at Butler University, and Stevens seized the opportunity.

Stevens was very enthusiastic about this job. At that time, he was so hungry that he spent 14 hours a day watching game videos and studying tactics. Soon, Stevens was appreciated by the then head coach of Butler University.

, it took one year to become a teaching assistant.

Half of what happened after that is known to current fans, and the other half is known only to Jiang Chao.

From 2007 to 2013, Stevens served as the head coach of Butler University, with a coaching winning rate of 77.2%, and led Butler University to the NCAA Finals for two consecutive years in 2010 and 2011.

Although they all lost, it is of great significance to this school.

Among them, Butler University only lost to Duke University by two points in the 2010 NCAA Finals (Butler University is a small school with only more than 4,000 students, while Duke University and the University of Connecticut are both famous basketball schools in the United States).

Stevens is the youngest head coach to lead a team to the NCAA Final Four since Bob Knight in 1973, and the youngest head coach to lead a team to the Finals since 1940.

Since then, he has gained another name in the hearts of Indiana fans:

Young Marshal!

The first time Jiang Chao knew that he was not the head coach of the Green Army, but that he had watched the last game of March Madness in 2010. It was the Gordon Haywood who just lost without hitting the final mid-range buzzer.

Gave it to Duke.

Stevens is a legend at Butler University and the hope of the entire NCAA.

Later, he was invited to the Celtics by Anji. Anji was not a very good character but had a really good vision. He directly offered the longest contract of 20 million for 6 years to the second youngest head coach in the league.

The road to revival of the Green Army began here.

This is why Jiang Chao wanted to choose him.

In 2017, Stevens became the head coach of the Eastern All-Star team in the NBA All-Star Game and led the Celtics to win first place in the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 regular season.

In the 2017-18 season, Stevens still led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals even though the team was missing Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, its two main players.

Except for the first season, he made the playoffs in all seasons during his contract period!

But you have to see who he is bringing with him!

He does not have the Big Three, only the shortest player in the NBA at 175.

All-star player Haywood led the team to the finals even though he was reimbursed for the season in the first game. This is really his ability.

Jiang Chao likes his advantage very much, that is, like him, he likes to discover new players and hopes to train potential players!

He can use the least ingredients to make the best dishes.

In other words, Stevens maximized the potential of a group of non-star players. This is exactly the same as his success in college.

In his second year after taking office, the Celtics were traded by Ainge 11 times, and the players in the team were changed 25 times. When Ainge himself was ready to fail, Stevens led the team to seventh place in the Eastern Conference!

Jiang Chao was very impressed by that group of people.

Turner, who in Jiang Chao's opinion would never be ranked second in 10,000 years, seems to have sent out three triple-doubles in one season. Before that, his triple-doubles in the first four seasons of the NBA were 0.

Jordan Crawford is a sharp shooter, but he was turned into an offensive organizer by the young coach, and his passing skills are very good.

Later, Thomas Jr. directly became the king of the final quarter and was promoted to the All-Star.

And why Heywood, whom he met just now, was so obedient to the young marshal.

Because Stevens is his benefactor.

In a county-level game, a 6-foot-3 player dunked with his left hand after stealing the ball. Moreover, this young man was a tennis player.

Stevens realized the potential in Hayward, and he also saw the unusual competitiveness and brains of this young man who loved playing video games.

Hayward told Stevens that if he didn't play basketball, he would like to be an engineer in the future!

But Stevens has always been confident in one thing: he can keep others interested in basketball.

Therefore, Haywood is now the number one white small forward in the NCAA!

At this time, the media introduced the head coach of Butler University who was found by Jiang Chao like this:

"A head coach with strict discipline, selfless spirit, and emphasis on basic skills and defense."

Former Butler coach Barry Collier was very excited when he was interviewed by the local media: "Stevens has brought the team culture to another level. He is fully capable of becoming an NBA-level head coach. I am convinced of this.

I am also convinced that after he leaves, the end of Butler University basketball is coming."

Of course, the two here didn't know that boss Jiang Chao's first crazy move had spread to the outside world.

I didn't look for Kidd or go to the Lakers game. I actually came to the remote Butler University.

Stevens finally calmed down and asked Jiang Chao:

"Boss Jiang, I have some questions to ask you, is that okay?"

"Can."

At this moment, Stevens' phone rang...

(ps: As a side note, as the Knicks lost today, the Knicks in the 2022 season will definitely not be able to enter the top 10 in the Eastern Conference, and they will not be able to enter the play-offs. They have been bad for another year￣□￣｜｜It seems that they can still do it

My brother Chao will come.)
