Cole originally came over to see the Clippers' training to see if the Clippers players were as united and motivated as Kim Hughes said.
Good guy, in just one meal, without even eating a bite of fish, I passed the interview and am going to become the Clippers assistant coach?
Why does it feel so unreal? This is not in line with Cole's plan. He must discuss such a major matter with his family, friends, and seniors.
However, Cole also felt that Smart Min was indeed as rumored, acting resolutely, making decisions extremely quickly and decisively, and spending money generously.
Although he did not spend the money, it is really not something that ordinary people can do to persuade Sterling to increase spending and not be stingy.
Cole did not immediately agree to the Clippers' recruitment. He still needs to seriously consider it and make a good and clear plan for his future career.
Min Congda didn't mind this. During his more than a year as general manager, Min Congda had developed a casual and natural habit, which was a kind of retaliatory rebound against his cautious character in the previous thirty years.
Returning to the team headquarters in the afternoon, Min Congda communicated the matter with Rosser and asked him to prepare a sum of money to buy out Cole's contract at Turner TV Network and draw up an assistant coaching contract with Cole.
Rosser had long been accustomed to Min Congda's unplanned and sudden expenses. Based on the principle of fulfilling his duties, Rosser still reminded Min Congda.
"Mr. Smart, do you really want to sign Steve Kerr and let him be the team's assistant coach?"
"Yes, I have already interviewed him. He is very good and fits my strategic plan very well."
In Min Congda's view, Cole has no coaching experience, but he also believes in the strategy of everyone having the ball. Isn't this pure NT?
In the article "The Victory of Space and Ball Rights" written by Min Congda, he particularly emphasized that the concentration and distribution of ball rights must reach a reasonable balance.
If we simply pursue everyone to have a ball to play and promote equal basketball, but cannot optimize the distribution of ball rights, the team's strength will be greatly damaged.
Unless the team is very united, the player strength is extremely balanced, and a perfect combination of superstars and team basketball can be achieved, truly everyone can play with the ball.
Min Congda doesn't think it's possible for the Clippers to reach this level.
Rosser reminded Min Congda: "However, with Steve Kerr's ability, letting him be an assistant coach is a bit overkill. Kerr is a very ambitious person, and he will never be willing to just be an assistant coach. Is this the case?" Mr. Matt wants to train him to be the head coach? I'm afraid that if he stays in the team for a long time, he will be an unstable factor."
Mike Dunleavy's contract expires at the end of this season. Letting Cole be Dunleavy's successor is indeed an option.
It's just that Rosser saw that Cole was not a man in the pool and had big plans. If he didn't control it well, it would have a bad impact on the management.
It might even threaten Min Congda's status. Rosser didn't want Min Congda to step down. Mr. Smart was a very good manager.
"Next season, let's talk about next season, the choice of head coach..."
Min Congda really hasn't thought about the head coach candidate.
Lao Deng is qualified as a head coach, but just because he is qualified, Min Congda feels that it will be difficult for him to continue with the Clippers.
As for letting Cole be Dunleavy's successor, Min Congda didn't think that far ahead. He needed time to examine him.
What if this guy is also a master of backstabbing? Min Congda was frightened. He pricked him back and forth and turned into a hedgehog.
And Min Congda has always had an idea in his heart. If the team's record really fails, he will personally become the head coach!
He doesn't believe it. The head coach has failed to do anything. How can your players continue to win games on their own?
Rosser has fulfilled his responsibilities, not to mention more. Anyway, the Clippers now have enough funds to complete this operation.
Although the Clippers have a poor record recently, the team's box office is pretty good, peripherals are selling well, and business cooperation is coming one after another.
The Clippers have recently opened an online business department, leveraging the influence of "Basketball and the Gays" to begin accepting advertisements to increase the team's revenue.
Min Congda is addicted to fishing and basketball tactics, and there are so many things in business that he can't take care of. Rosser is very dedicated and tries every means to expand ways for the team to make money.
But if Min Congda looks at the team's financial situation, he will find that the team's cash flow is very tight and its debts are increasing.
This is because the Clippers have changed the "stingy" style of the Sterling era and no longer value cash flow. Instead, they make full use of financial tools, loans and liabilities to expand the team's business and establish long-term cooperative relationships with many brands.
In the short term, the Clippers have no money or even owe money, but in the long term, the Clippers will experience an explosion in business cooperation and commercial value in the future.
This is exactly the result of Rosser's observation of Min Congda's "long-term vision" strategy. He successfully pulled the Clippers out of their stingy operations and moved towards a larger and longer-term business map.
And all of this is based on the Clippers' team record and traffic hype. Without these two things, the so-called long-term can only be a joke.
Rosser had to admire Min Chongda. In just over a year, he turned around the fundamentals of the entire Clippers and steadily improved. What does Cricket Cole's liquidated damages and assistant coach contract count?
In the next few days, Min Congda also interviewed some other assistant coach candidates, but he was not very satisfied.
These people either have rich work experience and beautiful resumes, or they praise the pass-and-cut tactics and think they have a bright future.
In order to show their professionalism, some people came with a notebook full of notes and introduced various details and experiences of passing and cutting tactics to Min Congda.
Can you want Min Congda like this? All pass!
And the time has entered 2011, and the Clippers' record is still ups and downs, like a broken ship that can't find its direction in the sea.
On January 2, they lost to the Atlanta Hawks at home, but on January 5, they defeated the Denver Nuggets at home, 106:94. They scored over 100 points for the first time in many recent games.
In this game, Bledsoe scored a career-high 22 points, and his performance in the game was impressive.
On January 9, the Clippers defeated the Golden State Warriors again, 116:101. Using a pass-and-cut tactical system, they scored more than 110 points.
However, judging from the game process, what really opened up the situation for the Clippers was the defender's breakthrough and Randolph's hard attack in the low post.
Therefore, even if they win the game, Min Congda is still very dissatisfied and requires the team to implement the passing system and not rely too much on the players' personal abilities.
Therefore, in the eye-catching game against the Heat on January 12, the Clippers, who had a great advantage inside, lost the game 105:107.
No matter how united the Clippers players are and no matter how hard they work, they will feel unhappy if they lose due to playing under a tactical system that they cannot use their strength or think is wrong.
There were some criticisms within the team. They didn't understand why the team had to play pass-cutting. The traditional tactical system was obviously very suitable and they played well.
On January 13, the Clippers officially announced that Steve Kerr had terminated his contract with Turner Television Network ahead of schedule and joined the Clippers as an assistant coach.
It was a beautiful and sunny day in Los Angeles. In the morning, I signed a contract with Cole. In the afternoon, Min Congda went to sea and caught a rare large grouper.
This grouper is quite peculiar. Among the dense spots on its body, seven or eight spots are particularly large and eye-catching, making it look unique.
Min Congda felt very happy after catching this fish. He felt that catching such a big fish must mean the beginning of good luck!
Today's thoughts: 1. The Timberwolves are really the most brainless management I have ever seen. 2. Durant used his personal experience to prove that being a nomad is not that simple. You need to be strong enough and have a vicious vision.
