NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 84: The most luxurious coaching staff in history is assembled!

Everyone left the meeting in doubt. Is it true? Does the boss have any good candidates for assistant coaching?

However, they all had their own things to do, so they were all excited and ready to go.

joke.

It would be a very good choice to recruit this star player who can directly serve and send alley-oops against Kobe Bryant in the finals this year!

You can say that Boozer, the Jazz's double-double, is awesome, but the Agents have proven themselves in finals-level battles.

"Liu Yan, you guard the team, but no one should be blocking the door anymore."

Jiang Chao clasped the documents with both hands and looked at Liu Yan, who had a slender figure and fair legs standing straight at the door with a smile.

"Okay, I'll buy you a plane ticket right now." Liu Yan was once again shocked by Jiang Chao's first high-level meeting. Faced with a bunch of big bosses, Jiang Chao was unfazed. In the end, he was the one who made the final decision.

Haven't you seen that D'Antoni is very serious? You must know that he has the most say in the comparison between Jiang Chao and his predecessor Dolan.

Downey Jr. was previously too low-ranking to participate in meetings of this level, and his participation was basically for reporting purposes.

But Mustache knew that when Dolan held such meetings, he usually didn't let them make suggestions. He just said that he wanted so-and-so, and if so-and-so played badly, he should buy it out as soon as possible.

And this young boss is the other way around. It is impossible for him to buy out old players. He will think about the position of each player carefully. If he is serious, everyone will follow him seriously.

It's hard not to love such a young team.

"Teacher Lu, you have to work hard these days to complete the contract. When I come back, I will invite your family to have dinner together."

Lao Lu adjusted his glasses in the legal department office: "Watching the team improve day by day, I am happier than anyone else!"

"Downey Jr., your human resources department will first familiarize the new players with the environment here, arrange check-in and choose jersey numbers, etc., and provide them with keys to the training hall."

"okay!"

One week later.

Jiang Chao and the young marshal took the lead in assembling a team of assistant coaches.

If you want to help this talented head coach win a championship, you must hire some stable assistant coaches.

The first thing to get it done was Steve Kerr, who provided tips in the draft.

Because he came here on his own, he refused tnt's invitation to serve again, but accepted Jiang Chao's invitation.

He originally wanted to stay in this circle. He was the general manager of the Suns before, and now he can be a coach. Trying both would be considered a basketball career grand slam.

The main reason is that the annual salary given to him in New York is very high, 450,000, but he cannot earn that much as a commentator.

And Jiang Chao gave him a lot of tasks, and he could get one thing done for every penny he paid.

Kerr is an assistant coach, an analyst, a shooting coach, and he is the shooting coach he wants.

Curry's shooting style needs to be modified so that he is not prone to injury. There are also some players in the team who are not good at shooting and they also need to be trained by the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in history.

Cole's career three-point shooting percentage is as high as 45.4%, ranking first in NBA history (when taking at least 250 three-pointers).

If this top shooter becomes a shooting coach, the effect will not be bad. He has specialization in the art.

The recruitment process was very simple. Cole signed the contract without hesitation. Jiang Chao's manipulations in the draft made him a fanboy for a long time. If we beat the Suns, we are good friends. Next, he will also play well in the Suns.

Face!

Marshal Stevens gave a thumbs up: "Reliable!"

Although Cole is an assistant coach for the first time, his experience as a general manager and as a player is valuable.

…

The second Jiang Chao found Cole's "predecessor" and the true founder of the Warriors dynasty. It can be said that the person Cole used Curry best before was Mark Jackson.

This is a coach Jiang Chao is familiar with and has always wanted.

This is a famous Rockets star that Chinese fans are familiar with. He was a good teammate of Dayao at the end of his career and one of the representatives of traditional point guards.

He took over the underdog Warriors as head coach in the 2011 season. Under the coaching of Mark Jackson, the Warriors quickly became a force that cannot be ignored in the league. It was under the coaching of Mark Jackson that Curry gradually became a superstar.

Ranking, it can be said that Jackson is one of Curry's career mentors.

Mark Jackson single-handedly created the prototype of the Warriors' tactics and can be called the founder of the Warriors dynasty.

As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

It was relying on the solid foundation laid by Mark Jackson that the Warriors' meritorious coach Cole was able to lead the Warriors to create the Warriors dynasty with three championships in four years.

What Jackson is good at is training the tactical system of shooting players like Curry. Only children do multiple-choice questions. Now the two former Warriors head coaches are under his banner.

Jiang Chao is also easy to recruit at this stage.

Because this guy is from Brooklyn. He is idle at home and spending his player salary doing nothing in New York.

I never expected that I would be invited to be a teaching assistant. After being stunned for a long time, my wife agreed with a pat on the head.

Because it only takes a few dozen minutes to drive to work, he can take care of his family, and the Knicks are also of great significance to him. Like Sean Marks, he was a rookie selected by the Knicks.

Jackson was selected by the New York Knicks with the 18th pick in the first round of the 1987 draft, and won the NBA Rookie of the Year title the following year, the lowest draft pick among players who have won this title so far.

Therefore, the Knicks of the last century still had a very strong vision, and the amiable fat man and Sean in front of them were both good people.

"Thank you for choosing me and allowing me to work in my beloved basketball industry again."

Mark Jackson was in tears. He was actually very embarrassed that no young people came to the training camp.

His career salary is not high, he has been resting on his laurels, and not having a job in New York obviously represents the bleakest situation for retired players like him.

But now, as if in reincarnation, someone who had benefited from his coaching career suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was also the Knicks.

Moreover, he is also a native of Dayao, which is quite a fate. Later in his career, his reputation rose a lot because of his cooperation with Dayao.

Jiang Chao and the young marshal arranged for him to be a tactical assistant coach, mainly responsible for tactics.

"I will do my best to help the young commander fulfill his mission!"

I hope you can become the founder of the "New York Dynasty" in the future.

Jiang Chao shakes hands with Mark Jackson.

Stevens was getting more and more surprised, because the assistant coaches the young boss was looking for were the kind of people who had never been a coach, but whose player resumes showed that they were very good at tactics.

This is indeed a youth storm because there are no old-school coaches.

But it is a youthful storm with unlimited potential!

…

The third one is fun.

Just a few days after announcing his retirement, he was hired by Jiang Chao.

Coach Rivers and Ainge, who originally thought the Celtics were a sure thing, were furious.

Is this okay??

Why is it always you!

Because Jiang Chao actually went to Mexico, Missouri to find Tyronn Lue, a complete nobody.

This guy's retirement ceremony didn't make much noise in the industry, and it was done in his hometown.

But he is the one who is favored by President Anji and wants to directly join Zhutou's coaching staff after he retires.

Later in 2009, three months after Tyronn Lue announced his retirement, he accepted the invitation from the Boston Celtics and became the Celtics' new director of basketball development, assisting the Celtics coaching staff in their work.

and participate in team training.

Then he started his legendary coaching career next to superstars.

He won championships with Kobe as a player, and he also won championships with superstars as a coach. He was also a god.

Stevens and Tyronn Lue were shocked when they found him, because he retired at the age of 32. Did he come to be an assistant coach just a few days after retiring?

Stevens has at least been a head coach for several years. What Tyronn Lue can do... He himself probably doesn't know much.

The reason why Jiang Chao recruited Director Lu is very simple.

This is the man who made Yangma rerun the show, the guy who directly criticizes Morey, out of patriotic feelings, and has no brain to like bass.

Of course, there are also tactical factors.

He is eager to learn and not lazy, and he learned almost all the coaching expertise during his assistant coaching career.

Director Lu is a good helper for superstars. He is one of the few people who not only understands the game but also understands interpersonal communication.

He learned a lot from Rivers' chicken soup.

Doc Rivers said of him:

"Director Lu is a natural coach, with the ability to communicate with others, high emotional intelligence, and good at telling others things they don't want to hear. He will become a great coach."

Most of Jiang Chao's impressions of him were from the Cavaliers period, when Tyronn Lue always behaved very calmly.

Tyronn Lue is very cautious in his approach to the game. Although he is a rookie, he knows the timing of calling timeouts very accurately, which reflects his sophisticated side.

Tyronn Luling and the Cavaliers have almost no reports of conflicts within the team.

The players trust Tyronn Lue. Off the court, Tyronn Lue's dispatching and command are indispensable for winning the championship.

The reason why a champion coach is a champion coach is because he always has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Jiang Chao recruited him to be an assistant and personal trainer for superstars, such as Curry and Harden, as well as the big fish he would catch later.

He and Stevens were talking on the plane. The person who was jumped over by Iverson without fighting must be a ruthless person with an extremely strong heart.

Anyway, if Jiang Chao plays by himself, no matter who crosses him like this, he will stand up and fight.

Recruiting him is relatively easy. It is a good choice for someone like this, whose salary was not high during his playing days, to be able to seamlessly transition to a coaching job. He is only 32 years old and has a long way to go before he retires, so he decided to come to the Knicks.

And because the Knicks moved too quickly, the Celtics haven't even started recruiting yet.

So when they found out about this, Anji became furious and personally called Jiang Chao to complain:

"What's going on with you? You're the one who keeps intercepting me?"

Jiang Chao was very calm when he heard Anji's voice breaking his defense: "Who knows? Who is your person?"

Anji was furious: "Why the hell are you moving so fast??? Are you a spy by my side?"

Jiang Chao: "If you have any, you can introduce them to me."

"Dududu..." Angie cursed and hung up the phone.

From Stevens to Tyronn Lue, these are the coaches he likes. Rivers' current coaching salary is getting higher and higher. He wants to train some such young people to coach the three giants in the reconstruction period after they age.

From the Green Jersey Army.

But he was intercepted by Jiang Chao in advance. Isn't this stupid? He thought that it was impossible for any team to find these two people, but one team found these two people accurately.

The expressions of Stevens and Tyronn Lue were both classic and confused:

"Why are the Green Army so angry? We are looking for an assistant coach. Does it have anything to do with them?"

"That's right, we didn't poach the Green Army coach."

Jiang Chao also had the same classic expression as Director Lu:

"Who knows, if you are so irritable, it must be your uncle who is having trouble with you."

"Hahahahaha!"

…

"The next one is the last one."

"boss……"

Finally, Stevens was a little panicked as he was preparing to fly to Orlando in the terminal. These assistant coaches were all newcomers to the coaching position. It is possible to be young and energetic, but it is definitely not good to quench thirst.

"I know what you mean. This next one is a real coach, and it will also be useful for Max's side to recruit Turk Drew."

A few days have passed, and the news from Turkey is still stagnant. The last assistant coach Jiang Chao recruited can be of help.

The defensive assistant, the most critical part of the coaching staff, is coming!
