As soon as Min Congda finished speaking, everyone in the ward was stunned.
The ward was very quiet except for the "beep~beep~beep" sound of Lao Deng's ECG and blood pressure monitor.
Dunleavy coughed several times, breaking the awkward silence.
"Smart, what do you mean, you want to be the team's head coach for the new season?" Dunleavy asked.
"Yes, I have been thinking about it for a long time. I want to personally take charge of the coaching staff and lead the team to move forward."
Min Congda did think about it for a long time. After the Western Conference Finals, he began to think about why they were getting better and better in the playoffs even though he was clearly causing damage to the team.
Min Congda believes that he has no problem with the lineup construction. Otherwise, from 50 wins last season, why would he only have 47 wins in the regular season this season?
Three fewer wins means that the team has not made progress, but has regressed.
But why can we go all the way to the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs?
First of all, the Spurs team is too rubbish and too weak in the playoffs.
Secondly, the Thunder are too young to beat our Clippers?
Finally, the Clippers' coaching staff is great, and Min Congda was fully involved in the playoffs.
I saw with my own eyes that Deng, who was relatively unorganized during the regular season, went all out in the playoffs.
The coaching staff often holds meetings overnight, watching game videos non-stop, and formulating targeted tactical policies.
The playoffs are a great test of the coach's pre-game strategy formulation and on-the-spot tactical command during the game. The coach's role is greatly magnified.
In the semifinals with the Thunder, Thunder coach Brooks arranged a winning tactic.
Or if Dunleavy fails to do a good job, the result of the game may change.
Min Congda thought that he could no longer let a coach as capable as Lao Deng lead the team.
As for Steve Kerr, if it weren't for system restrictions, he would have been fired a long time ago!
As for Wolong, what was really holding them back was the pass-and-cut system that allowed the Clippers' record to skyrocket.
If we didn't make the playoffs, how could there be a black eight or a breakthrough in the Western Conference Finals?
As long as you win one less game and fail to make the playoffs, there won't be that much trouble.
Min Congda had long forgotten that the passing system was clearly what he wanted to develop.
I have studied it for a long time and believe that this is a tactical system that has been eliminated.
Now he's putting all the blame on Steve Kerr.
He is worthy of being a person with leadership potential, because as a leader, shirk responsibility is a skill that must be learned.
Cole was very disappointed now. He never expected that the position of head coach was not his.
Cole would still be a little dissatisfied if someone else was allowed to be the head coach.
Last season the Clippers were able to reach eight and reach the playoffs, and Cole definitely took the lion's share of the credit.
Dunleavy doesn't care much about many things and leaves them to Cole. If he becomes the head coach, it will be absolutely seamless.
But if this person is Min Congda, Cole really has nothing to refute.
The entire Clippers know that General Manager Smart is a genius in basketball.
His tactical acumen and thinking ability are quite explosive throughout NBA history.
When Cole first came to the Clippers, he felt that the general manager didn't know much about tactics.
After several discussions during daily training, he knew that Min Congda's brain was simply born for basketball.
Excellent spatial imagination and very sensitive to every move of the players on the field.
Many people have been watching basketball their entire lives, including some senior fans and even commentators, but they still can’t figure out how the players run tactics.
Min Congda can see through the execution of tactics at a glance, and quickly analyzes the characteristics and backup tactics, as well as advantages and disadvantages, etc.
After learning that Min Congda had never received professional basketball training, Cole admired that this ability can only be innate.
With this kind of talent, it’s hard to say who is a great coach, but he will definitely be an excellent coach.
Technically and tactically there is absolutely no problem.
However, what really makes Steve Kerr feel ashamed is that although Min Congda has superior basketball skills and tactics, he rarely uses these to interfere with the coaching staff and players.
Some coaches have excellent technical and tactical abilities, but they are too obsessed with technique and tactics and ignore many other issues.
For example, former Chicago Bulls head coach Doug Collins.
He is a coach with very strong technical and tactical abilities. He can call out tactics at any time and guide players on how to play according to different situations on the sidelines.
However, his coaching method did not bring substantial breakthroughs to the Bulls.
The Bulls were never able to get past the Detroit Pistons and get Jordan one step further.
Later, the Chicago Bulls welcomed Phil Jackson, and Jackson never shouted tactics from the sidelines.
He believes in letting players figure things out for themselves.
As a result, the Bulls founded a dynasty.
Min Congda has better technical and tactical abilities than Doug Collins.
But in terms of team management and tactics, he also adheres to Phil Jackson's basketball philosophy.
"Everyone has a ball to play", what a simple and great basketball concept?
If we can think of this and implement it, the Clippers may become a very great team in the future.
Therefore, after the shock, Cole, who had been leaning slightly towards Min Congda, took a step back.
"I agree with Mr. Smart's decision that he is suitable to be the Clippers head coach." Cole said first.
Cole was originally everyone's number one head coach successor. He has said so, and others will have no objections.
"I agree."
"Me too."
"I agree."
Everyone agreed, but it was useless not to agree. Min Congda had the final say.
Everyone said this mainly to express their loyalty to Min Cong.
Because every time a new head coach takes office, it often means that the assistant coaches will go through a purge.
To be honest, these Clippers assistant coaches will not be easy to find another job if they are fired.
If you want to stay in this promising team and work in a promising job, you must not hold on tight.
Min Congda has always been tolerant and said that he would give Dunleavy a pension contract. If they show their loyalty well, the treatment will not be bad.
The assistant coaches and management staff formed a circle around the hospital bed, with Min Congda standing in the center and Dunleavy lying on the bed.
At this moment, it was as if Min Congda was officially crowned, ascended to the position of head coach of the Clippers, and began to take control of the team.
At this moment, Dunleavy, who was lying on the bed, felt as if he was dead. Otherwise, why would the coaching throne be gone?
Lao Deng sighed deeply, and he suddenly felt relieved.
Leaving the position of head coach takes away all that pressure.
The dream of winning a championship is not only a strong motivation, but it is also an unbearable burden on the road of life.
How many people were overwhelmed by this highest honor? Dunleavy felt that his ability ended here.
His coaching career had a high starting point, and then his entire coaching career was chasing the starting point.
The Clippers will definitely be a great team in the future, and such a team really needs a great coach.
"Smart, if I hand over the position of coach to you, I will rest assured that you will be a great coach."
Dunleavy said to Min Congda in a weak voice.
Min Congda smiled and thought, Lao Deng, you are like this yourself, why are you still cursing me?
Some people died, but not completely...
