Chapter 518 Don't Miss It

In October, in order to prepare for the new season, the Timberwolves opened a preseason training camp.

On that day, nearly [-] players gathered in the training camp, and now the Timberwolves have confirmed [-] places, that is to say, there are [-] players in the training camp who will compete for the remaining three places.

Eighteen into three, just look at this ratio to know how cruel it is.

Bai Jidong came to St. Olaf Center very early, but he was not the first.

Those who have not yet received an NBA work permit are the most hardworking people, and each of them wants to show their hard work to the head coach.

Bai Jidong looked all over the place, there were not many acquaintances, they were all unfamiliar faces.

Some of these people are undrafted this year, some are free agents whose contracts have expired but have not been renewed, and there are all kinds of talented people who have returned from overseas hard work and want to enter the NBA.

"White Wolf, my name is Ramsay Hutrudi Gevis, from Santana." A bronze-skinned man greeted Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong nodded in response, "I wish you good luck."

"I heard Coach Saunders resigned, is that true?" Ramsey said.

Bai Jidong was surprised by Ramsay's words, "Resign? Where did you hear about it?"

Ramsey looked around, "Everyone is talking, the coach who presides over the training camp today is not Philip, look."

Bai Jidong looked over, it really wasn't Sanders, but a stranger he didn't know at all, who was that?Where is Sanders?Is that gossip true?Sanders resigned?
Bai Jidong didn't believe that Kahn would do this. Even if Sanders was disobedient, he couldn't decide whether a champion coach would stay or not based on his own likes and dislikes.

Sanders has been in Minnesota for a long time, and his foundation is extremely solid, which cannot be shaken by him, the new chief operating officer.

What happened?Bai Jidong was thinking.

Garnett appeared at the scene and hurried up to Bai Jidong, "Philip has resigned."

Hearing this news, Bai Jidong was not that surprised, because he was already mentally prepared, "Who is the successor?"

"Dwayne Casey." Garnett's eyes turned to the black coach who was looking at the roster, "That's the guy."

Bai Jidong tried to understand all this. He didn't know why Sanders chose to leave so decisively. He also wanted to know who this Casey was. In the end, he had to finish today's training with a heavy heart.

Casey was not unconventional, he still did the old training, a bit out of control.

Bai Jidong felt a little relieved by Casey's actions. From this point of view, Casey should know where the Timberwolves' roots lie.

If he can follow the system left by Sanders, he can minimize the loss left by Sanders after leaving.

After a day of training, Bai Jidong called a friend, "Dude, help me check my personal information."

"Name?" The other end of the phone asked directly.

"Dwayne Casey, yes, D starts with Dwayne." Bai Jidong confirmed the name, and the other end hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, Bai Jidong's Innu account vibrated, he opened the account and clicked in to see the information sent by that person.

It is relatively comprehensive information.

Casey became an assistant coach at Kentucky in 1979, where he remained for nine years until a bribery scandal changed his fortunes.Although it cannot be determined whether Casey accepted the bribe, the bribery scandal led to Casey's resignation and the NCAA punished him. (Not allowed to participate in any NCAA competition within 5 years)
After resigning from the NCAA, Casey served as an assistant coach for the Seattle SuperSonics, where the team won four division titles.

In the summer, Casey also served as the head coach of the Japanese national men's basketball team
In other words, this person is coaching an NBA team for the first time.Only coached the Japanese team before?Bai Jidong has no impression of him at all.

Since he is a rookie coach, he should not have too much personal style, at least he knows what to do when taking over a championship team.

A championship means perfection. A perfect team does not need a successor to DIY. As long as it grasps the previous set well, it can continue to succeed.

From this point of view, Casey is very smart, he meets Kahn's needs.He is a rookie without any connections and background, so he has no capital to resist Kahn, and he has to listen to Kahn no matter what he does; secondly, he has no foundation to fight against the top card, so he can do it, that is, continue to do what his predecessor did. Go on, as for other battles, he can't participate.

Bai Jidong roughly knew what kind of role Casey played in this game.He was just a pawn, an insignificant pawn.

The most important thing now is to contact Sanders, Bai Jidong needs to know what happened and what made Sanders want to leave.

Although Sanders is a good man, he is not the kind of good man who allows others to ride on his head and bully him.

If Kahn uses his power to make him resign, Sanders will definitely make a big fuss about it. Even if Kahn can't get out, he will be able to control the situation.

But that didn't happen, nothing happened, the power transfer went smoothly, and Kahn easily cut off one of McHale's most important direct descendants left in Minnesota.

Sanders' home is far from downtown because Sanders doesn't like loud places, which is the exact opposite of what he does in the training facility.

Whenever someone asks him, why do you not like a noisy environment, but like a noisy arena.

Sanders will always answer with a smile: "Home is the resting place of the soul, and the stadium is the place where passion blooms."

Like many rich people, Sanders didn't treat himself badly. His home is huge, with its own stadium and miniature golf course, and the whole room looks like a palace.

Bai Jidong will never understand why these rich people buy such a big house, don't they feel terrified at night?

Just imagine, there are only a few people living in Nuo Da's palace. What kind of loneliness is this?
After ringing the doorbell, the people inside saw Bai Jidong clearly through the surveillance camera at the door, so the door opened.

Bai Jidong walked in, and Sanders was playing golf on his own golf course.

Bai Jidong stepped forward, and Sanders swung a shot. It was a stinky ball. This was the stinkiest ball Bai Jidong had ever seen.

"It seems that my skills let you down." Sanders laughed.

Bai Jidong felt very uncomfortable watching, but still had to show the expression "Wow, you played really well".

He sat down and said, "It's nothing. You hit a good serve just now. Unfortunately, this golf course is too small. Otherwise, you would definitely be able to score a 500-meter hole."

"KG wouldn't have said that to make me happy," Saunders complained.

Bai Jidong's expression changed, "Has he been here?"

Sanders put down his golf clubs and sat opposite Bai Jidong, "I came here last night."

Bai Jidong's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "What I want to say may be the same as what KG told you last night."

Sanders said with a smile: "No matter what you want to know, I will answer, and I just have a few words to tell you."

"Why did you resign?" Bai Jidong asked directly.

Sanders smiled, he probably didn't expect Bai Jidong to be so direct, "Even KG can go around the corner and say a few unnecessary nonsense, why can't you even say a few words?"

Bai Jidong said: "Because it is no longer necessary."

It is indeed unnecessary.

Sanders said in his heart, he looked at Bai Jidong, this man looked similar to the man who just arrived in Apolis two years ago, but he has already experienced many things.

He is no longer the abandoned child abandoned by Chicago. Now he is the label of the entire Minnesota and the king of Minneapolis.

"Because the time has come, the team has reached a moment when they must make a change. This is what Mr. Taylor told me personally." Sanders' words made Bai Jidong lose his mind for a while.

In other words, the person who let Sanders leave was not Kahn, but the boss Taylor.

Even Taylor felt that Sanders had too much prestige in the Timberwolves and had to leave, otherwise Kahn's work would not go smoothly.

He's an outsider, so it doesn't matter to him.He is the target of Kahn's active wooing, and Kahn needs him to make meritorious deeds, so he is the safest person.

Sanders and Garnett, the group of direct descendants brought out by McHale himself, are the targets that Kahn wants to eradicate. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use Taylor to force Sanders to submit.

Sanders is not a Zen master, he will not fight against the boss, let alone the boss's daughter.If the boss wants him to leave, he will leave.

"Is that the one question you have?" Sanders asked.

Bai Jidong stayed for a while, then said: "Yes."

"Okay, let me say a few words, this is the last time you will hear me tell you, I hope you will be patient." Sanders said with a wry smile.

Bai Jidong felt embarrassed, "Please tell me, I will remember."

Sanders said: "Being able to coach you and KG is the luckiest thing in my career. I have seen the greatest glory in you. Unfortunately, I can't watch it anymore. I always feel that you and KG can Achieve greater achievements."

"You can stay and watch." Bai Jidong hoped that Sanders would stay in Mingzhou, which would at least be a comfort to Garnett.

"In a great story, the most important thing is not what the protagonist does, but what the protagonist remembers and how." Sanders looked at Bai Jidong, "In the past two years, you have met many Difficulties, please bear in mind."

"Help me watch KG, he hasn't finished his emotional management class yet." Sanders' voice was a little hoarse, "He still can't control his emotions now."

Bai Jidong couldn't agree to Sanders, because he knew that the only person who could control Garnett was Sanders.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Bai Jidong finally asked.

"I can feel that your story is not over yet. Many years later, this history will be compiled into a great hymn."

"Don't miss it, young man, the good times are shorter than you think," Sanders said.

　I suddenly remembered the picture of KG squatting on the parking space mourning after Sang Shuai passed away. RIP
