At the beginning of the season, the Lakers' coaching team mainly consists of four people. In addition to head coach Tom Janovic, the three assistant coaches are Hamberlain, Brian Shaw, and Ke Yan, who are in charge of different events of the team.

Hanbron is mainly responsible for pre-match preparations and basic team training; Brian Shaw is responsible for shooting training and personnel inspection; Ke Yan is responsible for offensive tactical design and tactical training, and took over some on-site dispatch tasks in the middle of the season.

A coach and three assistant coaches are all in their own roles. Even Ke Yan and Brian Shaw have had some minor frictions, they don’t take them seriously. They cooperate well with each other.

Now, Tom Novich has basically been named after the coach from the position of coach to the consultant. There are only three people left in the coaching team. Ke Yan has more tasks and heavier pressure when he is promoted to the position of head coach, but he lacks a person who has played his role to correct some of his problems. There is no second voice in tactical terms, which is not a good thing for the team.

On the other hand, Ke Yan needs an assistant coach who can lubricate the relationship between the coach team and the players, and helps to express some of his ideas to the players more gently. Therefore, the assistant coach he hopes to get is a player experience. It is best to play under the famous coach and be able to give it to the

This request was not too much. Kupchek agreed on behalf of Bass, "Do you want us to help you with your help, or do you have someone to choose?"

Ke Yan has no experience in playing basketball in the United States, and he has been a head coach for a short time. No normal person would think that he has any connections to recruit people.

"I have two candidates, and you may need to contact me to see if they are willing to cooperate with me." Ke Yan said, "If they don't want to, I want other candidates."

Jeff Hornersek, a Jazz legend, has excellent off-ball running, accurate shooting, modest personality, and pass skills. He has been honing under Sloan's pick-and-roll system for many years and should be able to put forward some of his own ideas on the offensive end. His daughter Abby Hornersek is very beautiful and can gain a lot of "son-in-law" wherever he coaches... It's off topic.

Monty Williams has been a marginal person in the NBA for a long time, but he has average strength and stayed in the league for nine years, and he can't do it without a little popularity. For Ke Yan, a coach with high emotional intelligence can play a big role. He doesn't have a beautiful daughter, so he is ranked behind Hornersek.

The two people Ke Yan chose are those who can achieve the position of NBA head coach in the future. Their strength and potential should be OK.

Because it is the mid-season reason, the team is not good at directly breaking the corners of other teams, and it is not good to break the rules. The two candidates given by Ke Yan are currently in unemployed states, so it should be hopeful to contact them.

"OK, I'll find a way to get at least one." Kupchek promised impatiently.

It seems that I had heard this not long ago. Ke Yan thought about it and asked, "By the way, what's going on with Boris Dior and David West? Are there any talks?"

Kupchek shook his head: "The other party does not agree to the transaction. Do you want to consider others anymore?"

"..." Ke Yan was speechless. Neither Dior nor West could take it?

"The Hornets sent Byron Davis away, obviously they were going to rebuild around the young people. Unless they were very good chips, they would not be ready to trade any young people. The Eagles directly rejected our request to trade Dior, saying that they would not trade anything." Kupchek directly informed Ke Yan of the details of his trading negotiations, which was also a treatment that Ke Yan could not get when he was an assistant coach.

He also found it strange that when he was talking to the Hawks about Dior deal a month ago, the Hawks asked Luke Walton for him, but he refused. This time, his price was raised to Walton. The second round of picks were picked, but the Hawks refused.

Those who don’t know would think Dior has made this month! After checking the data, it still looks like he is half dead.

Ke Yan was speechless about Kupchek's ability to work, but he didn't know that the reason why the Hawks refused to trade was actually him.

He did a pretty good job as the Lakers head coach. On the Hawks, the boss Reisler was somewhat regretful and didn't make a quick decision to invite him directly. After learning that he is currently the acting head coach in the Lakers, he decisively placed him on the shortlist for head coach next season.

Ke Yan likes to use the inside to pull to high positions to support him. The Lakers have come to talk about Dior's trade twice, which makes Hawks general manager Sander feel that Dior is his choice. So, in order to enhance the team's attractiveness to Ke Yan, the Hawks are not ready to trade Dior!

Fortunately, there was no accident in Eddie House's signing, otherwise Ke Yan would really have to have a good talk with Jerry Bass!

I took time to date Wang Lifan and had a meal. Because I did not complete the three consecutive victories, Ke Yan had no reason to "take further". Fortunately, Wang Lifan was reasonable and said directly that "the promise of rewarding three consecutive victories has always been effective", which made Ke Yan rekindled his fighting spirit.

On January 11, the Lakers were visiting Memphis and challenging the Memphis Grizzlies. This was a fierce battle for the Lakers.

It's still an old problem. When the team faces a comprehensive inside line, the inside line is always beaten. Diop has no choice but to face Gasol's finger-spoken softness. He was hooked by the opponent's low singles, pulled it to the middle distance to hit a mid-range shot, grabbed the frontcourt rebound and completed a tip-off and scored 21. In short, Gasol has a very strong inside-line killing against two Lakers players. In addition, Mike Miller restricted Kobe, and Kobe, who defended, made 9 of 23 shots in the game, scoring only 21 points. The Grizzlies completely took the initiative in the game.

Fortunately, Butler had a great offensive feel in this game. Facing Bathir, who was slightly thin, Butler gave himself an Anthony experience card and scored consecutively singles, helping the team maintain the score difference within 10 points in the first three quarters, and waited until Eddie House's magic weapon fell from the sky and Kobe's return to the king.

In the last quarter, Eddie House, who just joined the team, made two three-pointers in a single quarter. The appearance of this X factor completely disrupted the arrangement of Grizzlies head coach Huby Brown. The Grizzlies didn't know where the Lakers found such a lightning-fast point guard. Kobe, who was sleepwalking in the whole game, regained his touch at the last moment of the game, made 2 of 3 shots at the critical moment, dragging the game into overtime!

In overtime, both sides began a defensive battle. Gasol's "soft" was perfectly reflected in overtime. The former faced the Lakers' inside request in the 48-minute game, but stopped in overtime. Although Kobe was still "iron", he used his offensive influence to restrain the Grizzlies' defense at a critical moment, sent out a desperate pass, assisted Butler to hit a key three-pointer, and harvested this hard-won victory (25-13).

In the whole game, Butler scored 28 points and 7 rebounds in a sudden foreign shoot, which was the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory. However, Eddie House's first game joined the team and shot three three-pointers, so happy that he couldn't find him!

"cool!" After seeing Eddie House's performance, Kupchek spit out such a word to be glad that he chose Ke Yan.

Choosing Ke Yan means believing in science!
