4. The wonderful Thunder management team and 28 cards
As Mr. Stern's voice came from the stands, Yang Fan in the room unconsciously clenched his fists.
Although I have been trying hard to suppress it, I still feel a little excited.
In his previous life, the Thunder also selected the 24th pick in the first round of the thunder man Ibaka from the United Nations.
It can be said that Ibaka's playing style in the early stage of his career was very tough, and he was elected as the league's blocking king many times, and his ability to guard the basket at the basket is no less than that of Howard.
If Ibaka hadn't chosen to play closed injections and get injured in the playoffs that year, Ibaka's career would definitely not have plummeted after that.
Fortunately, Yang Fan got the opportunity to coach the Thunder this season, so he can do his best to avoid this.
After all, with this robbery...
Bah! Not...
After this draft, the Thunder team's lineup will become a bit terrifying. Although these young boys are still very young, there are quite a few people who can use Yang Fan.
In this case, adding more lineup rotation on the court and reducing the playing time of the main players will definitely greatly avoid the occurrence of injury situations.
At least this season, Yang Fan will never force the players to get a closed shot and play for the sake of winning a certain game.
After all, for Yang Fan, although the road he has to take on the head coach is still very long, the choice and improvement of the players can definitely be said to be so terrifying...
However, one interesting thing in his previous life was that after the Thunder selected Ibaka with the 24th pick in the first round, there were more young players in the Thunder at that time.
So in order to give these young players better room for growth, the Thunder chose to let Ibaka stay in the Spanish League for a year.
Ibaka was finally recalled to the NBA in 2009-10, and began his first season of his career.
It can be said that after other teams have selected players, players cannot come to the NBA to play immediately, most of which are because the former team in overseas leagues do not intend to release people.
If the team wants to take the players away directly, they must pay a large ransom.
But the Thunder's approach is quite strange. Ibaka's contract with Manresa in the Spanish League One had expired, but the Thunder was forced to stay in the Spanish League for a year because there were many young players in the team and there was no time to train Ibaka, so he forced him to stay in the Spanish League for a year...
I have to say that looking at the entire NBA history, the management of the Thunder team is definitely a weird one.
Even if other teams were allowed to learn about the Thunder's true thoughts, they would have already started to curse.
Other teams who play badly think that the players in the team are not talented enough, spend a lot of money to buy draft picks everywhere, and then bloom at multiple points in the draft, and finally select a group of players worth training.
But the Thunder team is here, the implication is that there are too many talented players in the team. When you come to the team, we don’t have time to train you, so you should continue to hone in the Spanish League for another year.
Keep practicing for a year...
It can be said that although this incident has no impact on Ibaka's career, for Yang Fan, who has been a two-time man, this is simply a big loss for the Thunder!!
Good guy, if Yang Fan hadn't learned that he had become the head coach of the Thunder, he would have been mentally prepared.
I'm afraid when I heard the proposal of General Manager Sam Prostie, I was "stunned" and could even pull out a map of Qingming River in the office...
This is really a damn person, and he has to throw away the goods!!
Do you know that the Bobcats are so awesome?
If the Bobcats management knew what General Manager Sam Prostie thought, they would probably have to come to the door as soon as possible, and then kneel on the ground with a plop and shouted loudly:
"God, please accept my worship!!"
"Don't give it to me. I don't dislike the talented players in the team who don't have time to train them. I really don't dislike them!!"
Fortunately, with Yang Fan being able to serve as the head coach of the Thunder this year, this kind of thing will definitely not happen again.
After all, Ibaka is a tough guy in the penalty area who can effectively contribute 6.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in his rookie season!!
So if you play under Yang Fan's men this season, Ibaka's data will definitely increase.
At least he is not much better than the "bald" center Kostic in the team.
Because after the rookie enters the league, the head coaches of other teams may need some time to understand the player's technical characteristics, so as to provide him with some stadium positioning based on his ability on the court.
And when it is determined that the team will train him, we must also consider a running-in issue and development direction for him with other players.
But coincidentally, these things are not a problem for Yang Fan.
After all, if we talk about tactical qualities on the court, even if Yang Fan was a human being for two lifetimes, he had some advantages in vision.
And he was also a basketball coach in his previous life, but he certainly could not be compared with those monsters in the NBA.
But if we talk about the training direction of players and the positioning of the court, then Yang Fan, who can now be regarded as 24k electric dog eyes, can definitely be said to be the best league!!
So as long as Yang Fan can serve as the head coach for one day, he will definitely not allow such things to happen.
Of course, such things are just a small matter for management, basically just a matter of one sentence.
Anyway, for general manager Sam Prostie, it doesn't matter who Yang Fan wants to focus on cultivating. As long as you don't bury Durant and Westbrook, the rest will just do whatever you want.
Because no matter how much Sam Prosty struggles, his ultimate goal is to save money for the boss, and the other is to achieve the team's record.
Currently, more than half of the Thunder's lineup list are recruits who have not been in the NBA for a few years, so in terms of the team's salary cap, at least in recent seasons, there is absolutely no burden.
So as long as Yang Fan can lead the team's record in the new season, he should not be too bad, then Yang Fan wants to bring his second uncle to the team as the starting player. Sam Prostie will definitely not say anything...
Since Ibaka is currently in the Spanish territory and has not come to the draft, Yang Fan must have no chance to meet Ibaka.
Otherwise, if Van Ibaka came to the talent show today, Yang Fan would definitely take a look.
Let’s see if this legendary “Twenty-Eight” is truly worthy of fame!!
Ahem...
Don’t get me wrong. Yang Fan is just curious. He definitely doesn’t know what “Kaisailu” and “Vaseline” are!!
