Tang Tian signaled the team members to sit down and wait.

Williams's wife is Ingrid, and she once came to the New Orleans Arena. Tang Tian had a very gentle woman in her impression.

The lights in the rescue room were red all the time. By the late night, the team members went back one after another.

Stevens also went back to rest first under Tang Tian's persuasion. Tang Tian, ​​Davis and Holiday finally stayed with Williams.

Regardless of whether the final result will be the same as in history, Williams needs someone to accompany him now.

The rescue continued until the next morning, and the doctor who was rescued came out of the operating room with a serious expression.

They stood up and walked over, and the doctor shook his head helplessly at them.

The rescue failed and Ingrid had no vital signs.

Williams was in a state of despair, and Tang Tian and Davis supported him left and right.

The four children also started crying one after another.

It is a bad news for the Williams family to encounter accidents when they are middle-aged.

Williams went to the operating room, and when he took action, he had already become firm. After comforting his children, he began to deal with the funeral.

Tang Tian and Davis also left after comforting each other.

On this day, the news spread in the alliance.

Many NBA stars and coaches have expressed their condolences.

Williams joined the NBA in 2005 and has been working as an assistant coach. He has been around for 10 years now. His popularity is well known for being in the NBA.

In the following week, the Pelicans players were in poor form, losing 2 games in 4 games, and the Warriors brought the victory to 1.5 games.

A week later, Ingrid's memorial service was held at the Church of New Orleans.

On this day, in addition to the entire Pelicans team, coaching staff and management, many well-known figures from the league also came.

Spurs head coach Popovich is Williams' former bishop. He had a game that night, but also came to New Orleans.

Clippers head coach Rivers, former NBA head coach PJ Karesimo, Jeff Van Gundy, Avery Johnson and Tom Thibodeau all arrived at the memorial service.

Former Pelicans assistant coach Borregor, Norris Cole, Gordon, Reggie Evans and others who used to play for the Pelicans were also present.

There were nearly a thousand people attending the church.

After the memorial service, Williams and Benson communicated for a long time.

After that, he chatted with Stevens, Tang Tian and Davis for a long time.

He will resign as the Pelicans' first assistant coach and spend time taking care of his four children.

This result is different from history, but it can be seen that this is the result of Williams' careful consideration.

"Coach, we're always behind you."

Tang Tian knew that Williams had made the decision and spoke to him.

"Stay going to the championship, you can do it."

Williams is most worried about his family now, but he still sends blessings to Tang Tian and the others.

The day after that, the Pelicans also officially announced that Williams had resigned as the Pelicans' first assistant coach.

However, it was also mentioned in the news that although Williams resigned, the Pelicans will still pay his entire salary of 5 million for the remaining four years.

This practice has been supported by the league, and the league stated that it would share half of its salary.

The Pelicans' record has become more and more outstanding in the past two years, and their market value has been increasing. Although it is a small city, its influence in fans and the league has become increasingly greater.

Benson was originally a good boss and was willing to invest in the team. It was not difficult to make such a decision.

As for the alliance, Xiao Hua is very sensitive to business. This is a good opportunity to promote the alliance and promote his image. There are advantages and disadvantages to his doing so.

But no matter what, this result is the best for Williams.

He can earn income and take care of his family.

Williams' affairs came to an end, and the Pelicans focused again on the game.

The team lost three consecutive games in the last period, leading the Warriors by only 1.5 wins.

With the Warriors also having excellent record, if they want to maintain the first place in the league, they must play well in the subsequent games.

The team members need to adjust their emotions, and for the management, they also need to recruit a new first coach.

Demps and Nash had a conversation, but the latter still had the same idea as before, hoping to focus on family and continue to serve as a team consultant.

In this case, the best choice for the Pelicans is to go to the free market or dig another team.

Although Stevens resigned, his contribution to creating a team atmosphere is outstanding.

This doesn't seem very big, but without such a person, he will be like the Knights, and the locker room is always unstable and cannot exert 100% strength.

Therefore, when recruiting the first assistant coach, interpersonal skills are still part of the key considerations.

In addition, the team also needs a defensive coach, which can help Stevens share some of the work pressure.

After all, Williams had only socialized before, and Stevens still had a lot of work on the team.

The Pelicans management's target candidates are also clear, including Ron Adams of the Warriors and Buzderick of the Rockets.

Both assistant coaches perfectly agree with the Pelicans' request.

However, after Demps communicated, both of them declined the invitation.

The Warriors' record is no worse than that of the Pelicans, and it is not appropriate to jump to their opponents as their main competitors.

If this is done, it will be the coach's version of turning enemies into friends.

Butzderick's situation is similar.

Although the Rockets' performance is one level worse than that of the Pelicans and Warriors, he gets along with the Rockets players and has a promising future.

Both target candidates were rejected, and the Pelicans could only settle for the second best and chose a defensive coach.

After all, with the foundation laid by Williams before, the Pelicans' current team atmosphere has been well built.

Lionel Hollins, Mike Brown, and *** Bickstaff are potential candidates.

Hollins is the former head coach of the Grizzlies, and he built the Grizzlies' iron-blooded defense.

He was just fired by the Nets this summer and is currently unemployed.

Brown's situation is similar to Hollins, the only difference is that it takes longer to work.

As the head coach of James' 1.0 period, he was jokingly called bread by fans and was criticized by crazily.

But his defensive ability ranks among the top among the head coaches.

Bixtaff's situation is different from the previous two. He has been an assistant coach since entering the league in 2004.

He previously assisted McHale with the Rockets and also followed McHale to Boston. He is now an assistant coach of the Celtics.

The Celtics' defensive improvement this season is closely related to him.

The three have different situations, but they are all very interested in joining the Pelicans.
