Chapter 437: Unite those who can be united (first update)

After the head coach signing press conference for Tyronn Lue was held on the morning of the 21st, Min Congda breathed a sigh of relief.

One thing that had been bothering him recently finally came to an end, and he paid the price for his lack of prudent choices.

The life experience of a head coach for more than a month was really bad. He planned not to participate in the team game tonight, but to go to a nightclub or bar to relax.

Since becoming the team coach, Min Congda has not really relaxed for too long in preparation for this busy and compact shortened season.

Even if I arrive late and leave early every day, my workload is still twice as much as when I was the general manager.

It's still poorly laid out. It's like a dog that gets tired every day. How badly is it laid out?

Now, this burden has finally been put down. Min Congda doesn't even care about winning or losing tonight's game.

Because the Clippers' opponent tonight is the Minnesota Timberwolves!

Min Congda hates this bad Timberwolves team.

He plays blindly and always loses. It's not easy to win some money on him.

In tonight's game, the outside world is unanimously optimistic about the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Timberwolves are playing away from home, and they gained nothing in the free market in the summer.

The only gain was the head coach, they signed the famous coach Adelman.

I hope this highly respected and capable coach can lead the Timberwolves to rise again.

But Adelman, like Dunleavy, reached the peak of his career and led the Blazers to the Finals.

As a result, he was sanctioned by the Pistons once and defeated by the Bulls once.

Later, he led the Kings to the Western Conference Finals in the 2000s, only to fall at the feet of Phil Jackson's Lakers.

From this point of view, Adelman and Mike Dunleavy are really like brothers.

He died at the peak of the game at the beginning of the game and was killed by Jackson at the end of the game when he tried to rise again.

This fully demonstrates that the position of coach really depends on talent and luck.

If you can't beat it at the beginning, you will probably never be able to beat it in your life. That's the end of it.

The starting point often determines the upper limit of this coach. Don't expect to accumulate step by step.

Adelman is a good coach, but his level stops here and is declining.

The current lineup of the Timberwolves has Love as the core, Thabeet and Foye are useless.

Luke Ridnour was brought in at the back, and Wesley Johnson was at the forward... These are players who are used as substitutes on other teams.

How can a team that has been put together like this and wants popularity but not popularity, and strength but not strength, compete with the Clippers?

In the afternoon, the whole team went to Staples Center to warm up, and Min Congda had afternoon tea at the Red Head Boots Restaurant.

He doesn't have to be a head coach or watch from the sidelines, which makes him feel quite comfortable.

He can drink a cup of coffee comfortably and fill his stomach with some snacks from the store.

Christopher entertained Min Congda while he was busy.

His mental state has been getting better and better recently, which is completely different from the first time he met Min Congda.

At that time, he looked gray and his whole body exuded an aura of decay.

Now he is wearing a chef's robe that is slightly yellowish and smoky, and he has a strong fragrance.

His face and hair were greasy and shiny, making him feel very friendly.

If his former rivals, friends or lovers saw him, they would definitely not recognize him.

Are these the same red-toed boots that terrified West Coast gangsters in the past?

Christopher held the coffee pot and added some black coffee to Min Chongda's cup, and asked casually: "Mr. Smart, what's going on with Donaghy's case now? Is there any progress?"

Min Congda ate some French fries and said: "Progress? What progress can there be? I guess no one is going to investigate this matter. A person who everyone wanted to die is really dead now, who cares how he died?"

of."

Donaghy's death is really a bit "expected".

The NBA has been cooperating with the FBI for many years. If the NBA is determined to investigate, there should be progress soon.

But David Stern is now focused on the new shortened season. Judging from recent news from the league office, he is not very concerned about Donaghy's murder case.

As the new season begins, everyone gradually forgets about this murderous case. It may take many years before there are clues or progress, or it may even become an unsolved case forever.

Min Congda asked: "Do you have any clues?"

Christopher shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, no, can I have any clues... Do you want another drink?"

"Let's have another cup and drink some coffee to refresh ourselves~ Christopher, can you recommend any fun nightclubs in Los Angeles?"

"Nightclub...I haven't been there for a long time. Besides, there is a competition tonight, won't you participate?"

"No, no, the opponent is the Timberwolves. It's not interesting. I want to go out and relax. Now that I'm not the head coach, I finally liberate myself..."

Min Congda looked towards the field below. The Clippers were warming up on the field.

Tyronn Lue was standing on the sidelines in a sportswear, discussing something with the assistant coaches on the coaching staff.

As a young coach who has just arrived, it is necessary for Tyronn Lue to establish his authority as a head coach.

However, he is neither a realist like Min Chongda nor an idol like Bird and Riley.

He cannot become the center of power. He must be close to power and have a good relationship with the people at the center of the team's power to borrow their power.

The most powerful person in the team is naturally Min Congda, and now his authority is stronger than that of team owner Sterling.

But after he left the head coaching position, he became far away from the team and could no longer rely on him.

Just like you are the magistrate sent to the county by the capital, the capital is naturally the source and reliance of your power.

But the capital is too far away, so you still have to rely on the county masters and yamen servants for specific tasks. They are the ones closer to the business.

Generally speaking, the best person for the head coach to rely on at this time is the team's star player.

Building a good relationship with the current stars and forming a close alliance is always the only choice for a new coach to consolidate his position after taking office.

But the Clippers' star is not obvious. Unlike the Cleveland Cavaliers, James is the absolute boss, the Emperor of Ohio. Just hug his thigh and that's it.

Theoretically, Curry is the leader of the Clippers, but Harden is equally talented, and the two of them are not very competitive, and they have never fought for the boss.

If we want to talk about the player with the most seniority, it should be Zach Randolph. He is the mainstay of the team, but he is not a superstar.

The people who can speak in the locker room, Ricky Davis and Derek Fisher, are all veterans who can speak.

Generally speaking, the Clippers are not a team built around one or two superstars. Everyone has a say.

Therefore, Tyronn Lue turned his power to his assistant coaching staff.

According to normal procedures, after a head coach takes over the team, he will clean out all the assistant coaches and replace them with his own people.

But Tyronn Lue's situation is different. He is replacing Min Chongda, and Min Chongda has no intention of letting Tyronn Lue "form a cabinet" on his own.

Tyronn Lue must cooperate with these veterans and use their strength to control the team.

According to Tyronn Lue's observation, the person he needs to unite with the most is his competitor, Steve Kerr.

Therefore, before the start of this game, Tyronn Lue has been trying to exchange views with Cole.

I want to ask him how he should arrange and play tonight's game.

But Cole didn't know if he had any resentment in his heart. He kept saying, "You are the head coach, and we will listen to your arrangements."

Now Tyronn Lue is a little passive. What to do? Is it possible to go to Mr. Smart and ask for a small note?
