"Thank you for your support, Frank." After thinking about it, Ke Yan thanked Hamberlain.

Generally speaking, if there is no big-name head coach, there will be a chief assistant coach on behalf of the head coach. Kupchek should have also sought Hamberlain's opinion, and the other party should also support him.

"You're more suitable than me."

The two of them have been together for half a year. Hamberlon knows how strong Ke Yan's ability is. The "executive deputy coach" is not only a joke from fans, but also a true reflection of Ke Yan's work scope and work ability.

In comparison, Hamberlon feels that he is more suitable as an assistant coach, and this position is better able to give full play to his advantages of training and being good at pre-match preparation.

That is, the morning after Ke Yan and Hamberlon had breakfast, team owner Jerry Bass knocked on the office door.

"Mr. Jerrybass, is there anything?" When the opportunity came, Ke Yan seemed extremely calm.

Jerry Bass looked at Ke Yan, and he suddenly realized that he could not see through this young Chinese, and had never seen through it.

Under the team's actions, Ke Yan is currently famous. From signing Anderson to improving the team's inside defense to designing offensive tactics, he helped the Lakers become the top five teams in the offensive firepower league in the new season. His contribution is self-evident.

But what really makes Jerry Bass unable to see through is that Ke Yan clearly predicts that the Suns will rise in the new season and knows that the Lakers are a pool of deep water, but he gives up the opportunity to easily brush his resume, learn from Durant, and embark on the "most difficult road."

Is it because of Tom Janovic's face? Jerry Bass really doesn't think so. A person who is so independent is impossible to do things that damage his future because of his past relationships.

"Can you talk a few times?" Jerrybas sighed in a complicated way and asked kindly.

Ke Yan worked for him, so how could he say no? He nodded immediately and welcomed him in.

"Rudy submitted his resignation to me last night!" Jerrybas said lightly.

Ke Yan's eyes flashed, but he didn't react much, which was a matter of time.

"I have discussed with the management. We hope you can temporarily take charge of the team and serve as the team's acting coach until the new coach takes office!" Jerry Bass said staring at Ke Yan.

Choosing Ke Yan is the best way he can do. He is less than 25 years old. If he is sure, he will become the youngest coach in NBA history. There are many players in the team who are even older than him.

But Jim Bass, Kupchek, Kobe Bryant and a considerable number of players in the locker room support him, and these voices Jerry Bass has to consider.

While Ke Yan and Hamberlon were working hard to maintain the stability of the team, and while he was still trying his best to reconcile Kobe and Phil Jackson's conflict, Phil Jackson did not care about the interests of the team at all and made a big fuss, which also accelerated Jerry Bass' decision to choose Ke Yan!

"With Rudy's efforts, the team's situation is not bad, and I hope you can maintain the team's current record.

Ke Yan still didn't speak because he understood that only by staying silent at this time could he fight for the greatest power for himself.

Sure enough, Jerry Bass saw Ke Yan pondering, paused, and then took the initiative: "I also know that it is not easy to take over such a job. You can be fully responsible for the team's affairs. If you have any ideas about transactions and signing, you can tell Mickey that if he doesn't handle it, you can talk to me directly. In addition, we will also appropriately increase your salary and benefits, so you can rest assured! "

The titles "the first Chinese NBA head coach" and "the youngest coach in NBA history" can bring Ke Yan much more potential benefits than increased salary! Therefore, Ke Yan doesn't care so much about the increase in salary. What he values ​​more is the rights given to him by Bass, namely the rights to "trade" and "sign contracts". If he can bring the players he wants, he will be confident to support the Lakers who should have fallen!

"Mr. Jerrybass, don't worry, I will do my best!"

After hearing this, Jerry Bass was satisfied. After encouraging Ke Yan for a few more words, he went out.

After Jerry Bass left, Ke Yan suddenly laughed.

He has been waiting for this opportunity since he left the Suns, and now, the opportunity has finally come!

After walking out of the office, Ke Yan immediately went to find Hamberlain and told him about the team's decision to let him take over temporarily.

"This should be the best decision for the team!" said Hamberlain.

After the training, the team's general manager Kupchek came out of the office, called the players together, and announced that Ke Yan was about to be the team's acting head coach.

"Wow! I said the team would better let Kimi take over!" Anderson shouted first.

Butler was also very happy. Without Ke Yan, he might not be able to be the main player so easily. Maybe he is still competing for the best sixth person now!

Other players are not as emotional as Anderson, but how to say that, except for Kobe, Walton and Mim, everyone else has only joined the Lakers this season. Ke Yan is aware of the situation. If a new head coach comes, the players and coaches will have to work together again.

For most people, the result of Ke Yan's rise to power is at least not bad!

Seeing the players in high spirits, Ke Yan nodded slightly: "Very good. It seems that my job as an assistant coach has been recognized by everyone during this period."

"Recently, we have suffered two consecutive losses! There are many reasons, not all of which are your responsibility. But I believe that everyone is very professional players. After the storm, we should adjust our best condition in time! Tonight, everyone greets LeBron!"

Tom Janovic resigned and Ke Yan took over. This news caused a big and small response in the NBA. After all, it was the Los Angeles media that hyped up the "genius assistant coach" for half a season. After Phil Jackson officially announced his rejection of the Lakers, rumors of Ke Yan's succession have always been there, but most fans still don't believe that the Lakers will directly appoint such a young Ke Yan. But when the facts were in front of him and Jerry Bass decided to bet on Ke Yan, most people had psychological expectations or doubts, but they did not resist.

On the contrary, in the sports circle in China, this news triggered an earthquake. Everyone is still looking forward to when Yi Jianlian will participate in the draft, and someone will be the first to enter the NBA before him! If the news that Ke Yan was an assistant coach in the NBA made most basketball fans know about his existence, then his position as head coach will make 90% of sports fans and a considerable number of passers-by remember this catchy name: Ke Yan!

Ke Yan became a hot topic, and the "Sports World" column at night temporarily took 10 minutes to give Ke Yan a brief introduction. At the same time, the Lakers and Cavaliers matches also replaced the China Dragon Boat Competition and were on CCTV's broadcast plan the next morning!
Chapter completed!
