Chapter 141 Choose the Moon
If he had known that Paul Allen would change his coach, Bruce would not have let Gentry be the head coach, nor would it have been cheaper for Cuban. If he really asked him to choose, he would have chosen Old Nelson as the coach.
There is no objection to the Supersonics team's change of coach Bruce. Anyway, it's not his own team, so who else will be replaced?
If he really wants to choose between Rick Adelman or Larry Brown, he must choose Larry Brown. The reason is very simple, that is, the Supersonics have Iverson.
Although Iverson and Larry Brown had a match in his previous life, the conflict between the two was also increasing. It can be said that they were about to be incompatible. But it was because of this that Bruce chose Larry Brown as the head coach of the Supersonics. To put it bluntly, Larry Brown understood Iverson and knew what Iverson wanted. Otherwise, under his leadership in his previous life, Iverson would have been able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals alone.
As for Rick Adelman, let's forget it. Sabonis of the Supersonics has not had a few years to play. If this old guy is arranged to be the head coach, Sabonis will die faster...
"Oh, why did you choose Larry Brown?" Paul Allen actually likes Rick Adelman to take over the supersonics, after all, he knows the truth...
"The reason is very simple. Rick Adelman's coaching style is very single. He can't be found except for Princeton's system. It's better in the regular season. If the Supersonics play to the playoffs, there will definitely be a high chance of being eliminated..."
"On the contrary, if Larry Brown is chosen, the Supersonics will have a richer style of playing. Larry Brown's coaching mind is to play in the right way, and the tactical style is to put defense first, which can go further in the playoffs..."
Bruce analyzed the pros and cons of the two for Paul Allen.
"Do you have any other candidates? I'll recommend a few more..." Paul Allen seemed hesitant. If he could, he wouldn't plan to change the head coach. It would be so troublesome to change it. Just find a more powerful coach to take over for a few more years.
"Actually, there are really, it depends on whether my father is willing or not. Del Harris and Chuck Daly, you can refer to it..." Bruce heard Paul Allen want him to introduce a few, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with these two "gods".
"Del Harris? No, it seems that Del Harris was sent to China to take the team in his hometown, right?" Paul Allen asked
Del Harris is quite impressed.
"Yes, he was transferred to China by me, but if you have this need from my father, I can also transfer him back to America..." Anyway, Del Harris will be back sooner or later, and he can also prepare to change the coach of the Mountain City Fire Dragons. You should know that Del Harris has been a huge move in the Fire Dragons in recent years. The general manager and head coach take on the shoulders. Sometimes when Bruce goes to watch the game, everyone seems to only know Del Harris but not as the boss. This is not allowed to appear for Bruce, the "control freak".
If Paul Allen really wants him, then Bruce will follow suit.
"Forget it, even if Del Harris is forgot, I don't want to break your plan in China..." Paul Allen really doesn't want to bother Bruce. In addition to being afraid of interrupting Bruce's plan, there is another factor that is that Gentry's example is ready-made. What if Del Harris embarrasses his great responsibility? Isn't this going to continue to slap Bruce in the face? It's better not to...
"As for Chuck Daly's words, I don't think it's appropriate..."
It's really inappropriate. Chuck Daley has no reputation at all. Not only did he lead the Pistons' famous "Bad Boys" Legion to win the championship, but he also served as the head coach of "Dream Team". Paul Allen dared not invite such a person. The reason is very simple. He doesn't want his supersonics to become another "Bad Boys" Legion in the league...
"Forget it, I won't be confused. I'll use Gentry to take a season this year. I'll change the head coach next year. I'll choose Larry Brown first. If he can't come, then choose Rick Adelman..."
In fact, there are not many famous coaches for Paul Allen to choose, so that's it.
"Okay, it's enough for you to decide, but if you change the coach, you have to make it clear to the new coach and tell the other party not to limit Iverson's nature and let him play freely, and not to let him control the right to draft and trade..."
Bruce thought it would be better to make clear the words first before doing them, so as not to cause trouble.
After all, Bruce has been choosing rookies all these years, and then the head coach of the Supersonics team will operate the transactions. I am used to it and there is no need to change others. The head coach should do the head coach's work. It is better not to worry about it if you shouldn't worry about it.
"Limit Iverson? What's going on with Bruce?" Paul Allen wondered.
Bruce also analyzed in detail Iverson's personality traits and how the head coach needs to get along with Iverson after he took over.
At least he didn't want to see Iverson continue to break with Larry Brown in this life.
He knew that Larry Brown was a strict coach in his previous life, and many conflicts broke out between Brown and the unruly Iverson. When the relationship between the two was at its worst, Brown asked the team to trade Iverson, and Iverson also hoped that Brown could get out quickly. Brown once said that every time he wanted to replace Iverson with rest, the other party would curse at him, and he was so angry that he wanted to fight with Iverson.
The reason is that Iverson is too maverick. For the veteran Larry Brown of the academy, this is undoubtedly a challenge to his bottom line.
"I understand, I will talk to Iverson in person after the season is over..." Paul Allen obviously doesn't want to involve the future "coach mismatch". If Iverson compromises, it must be the future head coach compromise. Anyway, there must be someone who compromises for the team.
At this time, Paul Allen suddenly realized that in addition to his coaching ability, Gentry had no problem with handling Iverson. At least he had not heard from the team that Iverson was dissatisfied with Gentry.
"Okay, I understand. You go back to have a meal first. I'm going to rest. When I get old, there is no one to accompany me. I don't know when I die."
Well, Paul Allen started to be fooled, so he wanted Bruce to go to Seattle early to accompany him...
"Okay, okay, always be careful. I will come to Seattle for half a year. If you want to drive me away, I can't drive me away..." Bruce also said with a smile.
"Okay, that's all. You'll have to accompany me well then. Do you know that you go to school every day? OK, that's it, I'll hang up." Paul Allen, who received Bruce's "company promise", hung up happily.
Bruce also smiled at his phone.
What an old naughty boy!
However, this time Bruce was not going back to have a meal. The two consecutive calls completely made him lose his appetite. The reason was the "turn-rest order" that Paul Westfal said was almost the same.
Although Bruce also knew that it was nothing to do with Paul Westfal, after all, if the team rotated a few more, the league would still notice it.
But if Paul Westfar, the "initiator", didn't say a few words to him, I wouldn't know how much trouble I could cause myself in the future...
Bruce always felt that Paul Westfal was floating, and his mentality was completely floating. He dared to do anything now without being "fired" at any time...
It seems that it's time to warn, of course, including the team's general manager Mickey Kupchek's other management teams.
