field coach

Chapter 82

After discussing D'Antoni's affairs, Davis didn't worry about anything else.

As a coach who has not yet been tested in the NBA, DeWeese is not worried that D'Antoni will open his mouth in terms of contracts, and DeWeese is not prepared to give D'Antoni too much in terms of rights.

"Just be a tool man honestly." Davis thought to himself.

I went shopping with Anna in Milan for a day, and had a good taste of the style of the fashion capital. Unfortunately, football is now in the offseason, and the first quarter of the European Champions Cup after this year's restructuring has been played more than a month ago. Otherwise, Davis would like to see the style of the current AC Milan football team.

Now AC Milan is in the strongest period in history. The team has Maldini, Baresi, Costacurta, Tassotti, Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten, Donadoni, Ancelotti, Massaro and many other world-class stars, but the Champions League lost to Marseille. . . .

With a trace of resentment, DeWeese was ready to return to the United States.

His return ticket was booked to Kentucky, which also puzzled Anna.

"We're going to the University of Kentucky to invite another of our coaches. D'Antoni represents the present, and the person we're going to invite represents the future," DeWeese explained to Ana.

After the two got off the plane, they came to the University of Kentucky, and the person Davis wanted to invite is now serving as an assistant coach for the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky.

After a lot of effort, DeWeese finally found this person's residence, and the two drove straight to their destination.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Billy Donovan at home?"

Davis rang the doorbell.

That's right, the person Davis wants to invite is the 27-year-old Billy Donovan.

Donovan was also a member of the NBA before. In the 1987 draft, he was selected by the Jazz with the 22nd pick in the third round, but he didn't play a game and was waived by the Jazz just before the start of the season.

In December 1987, Billy Donovan joined the New York Knicks.But 12 months later, he was cut by the Knicks.

Since 89, Billy Donovan has joined the current University of Kentucky as an assistant coach of the school.

If Dewes hadn't stepped in, he would have served as the head coach of Marshall University next year, and at the age of 28, he would become the youngest head coach in NCAA history.

In 1996, Donovan would become the head coach of Davis' alma mater, the University of Florida Gators, until 2015, and led the Gators to the only two consecutive championships in team history.

However, under the hard control of Davis, Donovan will enter the NBA coaching year, which will be a full 19 years earlier. . .Although he is an assistant coach, he is now an assistant coach at the University of Kentucky. . .

It was Mr. Billy Donovan, the current assistant coach of the University of Kentucky Wildcats, who opened the door.

"Who's looking for me? Huh? You? Michael DeWeese?"

Donovan invited the two in, and DeWeese cut to the chase with the first sentence.

"Mr. Billy Donovan, on behalf of the Orlando Magic, I now invite you to serve as the assistant coach of the Magic."

Donovan's performance is much calmer than D'Antoni's. Now the status of the NCAA is not worse than that of the NBA. In college, Donovan will have more time to study tactics.

"I'm having a great time at Kentucky right now, I have no reason to be an assistant coach with the Magic, and I don't think I have what it takes to make it to the NBA right now."

Obviously, that period of unsuccessful NBA experience left a big shadow on Donovan.

The three talked for a long time. Although Donovan said he was not moved, Davis could clearly feel that his heart was shaking.

Davis threw out his trump card.

"Billy, if D'Antoni no longer serves as the head coach of the Magic, you will be the next head coach of the Magic."

Donovan didn't expect that DeWeese would make such a big promise to him, and he was stunned on the spot.

"If you agree, please go to Orlando to report after the draft. We will discuss the contract issue carefully, but the treatment will definitely be much better than what you are currently at the University of Kentucky."

After Davis finished speaking, he declined Donovan's kindness to keep him for dinner, and left with Anna.

It's not that DeWeese doesn't want to communicate with Donovan more, but that if he doesn't go back, he won't be able to catch up with the draft. . . .

The day after tomorrow, June 1993, 6, was the most important date in DeWeese's life.

His days in the NBA. . .

On the way back, DeWeese thought about Donovan’s achievements at the University of Florida, and couldn’t help thinking: “Am I undermining my own school? Can the University of Florida still win the two consecutive championships? However, at least I won the first NCAA championship for the school, and I only need to win one after that...”

Cranky, DeWeese returned to Orlando.

The next morning, he came to the Magic arena.Found the scouting director.

"How did my father explain it?"

"Mr. Rich didn't explain anything specifically, he just said that it has been arranged, and he will personally handle the No. [-] lottery tomorrow."

Davis nodded. He guessed that it should be the same as the magic team in the previous life who chose Webber and the Warriors in exchange for Hardaway and the draft pick.

Then he changed his clothes and was ready to go to the court for training.

After a day of no training and flying around in the sky all the time, DeWeese felt like he was getting rusty.

After an hour or so, a person came and disrupted DeWeese's training plan.

"Mike."

Davis turned his head and saw that it was Skiles.

"Scott, didn't you go on vacation?"

"I want to talk to you about something."

The two came to the sidelines and sat down.

"Next season, I want to leave Orlando." Skiles told Davis about his intentions.

Davis opened his mouth in surprise.

"Scott, you just had your best record on the team, why are you thinking about leaving?"

"Mike, will you come here next season? Who will be the substitute and who will be the main player next season?"

Davis was silent.

"Because my contract has not yet expired and there is still a trade value, I will find a team that can give me the main position and bring something else to the team. I think it is very good."

"I'm sorry, Scott." After a long silence, Davis could only whisper these three words.

"There's nothing I'm sorry about, it's just that I don't want to be a substitute, Mike, so don't appreciate it." Skiles was very magnanimous. "Also, with you at the helm, I think the team will be better than when I was there. Come on, Mike."

Davis nodded, not knowing why, but he felt relieved all of a sudden.

"I was still thinking about Skiles yesterday, but I didn't expect him to come to me today. Don't bother now..." Thinking of this, Davis raised his head and said to Skiles, "Scott, do you have a favorite team? I will never obstruct it."
