Chapter 535 Li Wanji Is Very Busy

"The most pressing matter?"

Gatsby nodded: "As for the most urgent matter, I think you two should know what it is."

"Coach Byron Scott?" Kupchak frowned.

Gatsby nodded: "I think, with him coaching or not, the effect should be obvious, right?"

Kupchak looked at Jim Buss. Coach Scott was finalized by Jim Buss. He had to see Jim Buss' opinion.

Jim Buss frowned and said, "I wonder if there is some misunderstanding?"

Gatsby smiled and shook his head: "Where is there any misunderstanding? I respect every coach who has his own coaching philosophy. The same is true for Coach Scott. I respect him very much, so I tried to give him advice after seeing the problem. But it was not taken seriously.

The victory or defeat of the team is not a matter for the head coach alone, but for everyone. He is firm and stubborn in his philosophy, but I don't think his philosophy is suitable for the reality of the Lakers, so the players chose me.

I think a game can't explain a big problem, but it is enough to show that the Lakers can get better.As for how Coach Scott should deal with himself, I think the two should think about it. "

Jim Buss and Kupchak showed embarrassment. It is a simple matter to lay off a head coach, but the earthquake caused is unimaginable. The media in Los Angeles is pervasive. Once Coach Scott is fired, the Lakers Word of the coup will also be spread, and what Jeanne Buss will do is unpredictable.

"...Can we not lay him off?" Jim Buss asked with difficulty.

Gatsby nodded decisively: "As long as he is willing to fully accept my tactics, there is no problem at all."

Kupchak was embarrassed: "I'm afraid this is unlikely..."

Gatsby spread his hands: "This is the problem. When he comes back, he will definitely implement his tactics. The team continues to lose, so...the next thing will be left to you."

Ge Cibi didn't say anything more, turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, he turned around suddenly and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm not afraid of any criticism, if someone needs to come out to bear the infamy, it's not a bad idea to push me out." There's nothing wrong with it, since my reputation as a dictator has long since become stale."

Kupchak closed the door gently, leaving only Jim Bass and Kupchak in Nuo Da's office, and it became silent for a while.

"Mickey..." Jim Buss' voice was a little unsure. "...Do you think what he wants to do is right?"

After Kupchak finished, he slowly peeled off the cigar packaging, cut it open with cigar scissors, and dried it slowly over the fire. The smell in the office became fragrant.

"...Jim, do you know why your father made me the general manager?"

"Because you are loyal!" Jim Bass remembered what his old father told him by holding his hand.

Kupchak smiled: "Yes, this is one reason, and the other reason is that he knows that I am a very decisive person and know when to make a choice. He allows me to be by your side, that is, Sometimes it helps you make up your mind.”

Jim Buss nodded. His father had indeed told him to ask Mitch when he was undecided. He pondered for a while: "So, what do you mean?"

"Gatsby is the only person we can rely on, and everyone else can be given up. As long as we only catch Gatsby, we will be invincible!" Kupchak said.

Jim Buss nodded abruptly, as if he had made a great decision: "Then... just do what he wants!"

Kupchak suddenly stood up: "Okay, I will try my best to convince Scott, if not, then I can only cut him!"

On November 11, the Lakers officially announced that due to coach Scott's lack of health, the head coach position will be temporarily suspended, and assistant coach Jim Ain will temporarily take the head coach position.

The media was in an uproar for a while. The Lakers' statement was obviously an excuse. They were obviously dissatisfied with Scott's coaching, and they used Scott's body as an excuse.

Soon there were reports from the Los Angeles media that Scott was kicked out of the team by Gatsby and Kobe. Gatsby launched a coup in the Lakers!
Afterwards, more details were revealed, and many media also criticized Gatsby. From their point of view, players should not disobey the coach or the team, let alone force the coach, or even bombard the coach. out of the team.

The contradictions between those famous NBA coaches and players, such as Iverson and Larry Brown, Marbury and Isaiah Thomas, Suprewell and Carlesimo, Jerry Sloan and Deron, no matter who is wrong Who is right, without exception, players will always be considered locker room bombs, thorns!

Even if Marbury's father had a heart attack in the stands, and the team didn't tell Marbury for fear of affecting the game at that time, Marbury got the news after the game that his father had passed away, so Marbury and The team broke up and he was still considered a thorn in the side!

Contradictions between players and coaches, players will win the chance to stay in the team because they are more important, but their reputation will definitely be affected, this is absolute.

As for whether the coach will make mistakes, the media will not care about it. Their thinking is that the coach can't make mistakes, only the athletes can make mistakes!

"Aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?"

On the plane to Oklahoma, Kirby asked.

Gatsby slumped in his chair and said lazily: "Jordan, Magic, Kobe... as long as they are great players, who did not carry a lot of negative news during their playing days. There is an old saying in China, Mu Xiu Yu Linfeng will definitely destroy it. If he is not good enough, he will not attract so much criticism. This kind of infamy does not matter."

Kobe was quite interested: "How did you see it so thoroughly? When I encountered such a thing when I was young, I panicked a long time ago!"

Gatsby said with a smile: "First of all, I have money. I don't rely on playing basketball to make a living. If I don't have desires, I will be just. Secondly, this is the era of the Internet, and the eyeball economy means that everything happens one after another. One day I will retire." , these remarks will never appear again. In China’s words, it’s a coffin conclusion. So, these things can only show that you are hot enough!”

Kobe admired: "Are all Chinese people so smart and wise, they speak in a set way, and there are such reasonable idioms that can be picked up at will."

Gatsby became interested when he heard it: "Don't tell me, the Chinese language and culture are so profound, if you can learn many idioms, it will really guide your life path, because a Chinese idiom is a famous story, very Educational!
For example, there is an idiom called Ri Li Wanji. This word describes the meaning of being extremely dedicated and busy. Although I don’t know why Ri-Li Wanji is busy and dedicated, but when doing that thing, when she uses her hands, feet and mouth to use her abnormal devotion, she does look very Busy and very dedicated! "

Kobe: ...
