NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 6 Outstanding talent? ?

Reborn as the head coach of the NBA Bobcats, although missed the team's draft and free market signings.

However, Liu Rui did not panic at all, and was very confident that he could trade the players he wanted in the middle of the season. No one knew better than Liu Rui who the fringe players from other teams would be able to take charge in the future.

But at this moment, Liu Rui, who has no love in life, stands between the arenas, and the classic dialogue from his previous life comes to mind.

When God closes a door for you, he may also close the window for you...

Now Liu Rui is very sure that he was really tricked by that old guy "Robert Johnson".

Thinking back to the few days when I was just reborn, because of the existence of "Gerald Wallace", I was really proud of myself, and I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep all night.

The next day, I got up early and took a good shower, put mousse on my hair and put it all on my back, and put on a cheap suit to make myself look mature and wise enough.

Facing the morning sun, Liu Rui rode his bicycle and prepared to rush to the arena.

Because the Bobcats' main arena "Time Warner Online Arena" is still under construction, the Bobcats will currently use the arena left by the former Hornets for the campaign.

Since October, NBA teams have already determined their lineups and are preparing for the upcoming NBA preseason.

The teams that are being rebuilt have basically determined the team's training objects and team building ideas through the draft.

As for teams that need to be strengthened through trades or free markets, the big and small stars of the free market in Golden July have basically been settled.

In this case, the "Lynx Team" even failed to determine the coaching staff, really is the first time in history!

For this reason, the Bobcats owners "Robert Johnson" and "Bickerstaff" privately and tactfully expressed many times that the latter can serve as the team's head coach for the new season, but they were all declined by the latter.

Until receiving the application report submitted by Liu Rui, Robert Johnson didn't even notify the general manager "Smith", and made a decision directly without any hesitation.

"Bickerstaff" was so excited that he almost burst into tears, wishing he could grab Liu Rui's thigh and call him daddy...

Arriving at the arena by bicycle, Liu Rui explained his purpose to the receptionist at the door, and was taken to a room on the second floor.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw an old black man who enthusiastically stood up from his seat, with a sincere smile on his face...

He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Rui's hand.

"Haha, Mr. Liu Rui, right? I am Robert Johnson, the owner of the Bobcats. I am very glad that you can be a part of the team and lead this new team to continue to improve, haha."

"Uh...but Mr. Robert, I haven't signed the contract yet. You are too enthusiastic, which makes me really overwhelmed." Liu Rui held Robert's hand with both hands, feeling a little ashamed.

"Haha, the contract, the contract, the contract has been drawn up for you. Although you have no coaching experience before this, after the unanimous discussion of the board of directors, you will still be offered a contract with an annual salary of 110 million."

"Um... For the initial signing, the contract should be drafted for one year first. Don't rush to refuse it. The board of directors all think that you can lead the team to triumph, so in order to avoid signing a long-term contract, you will get too low a salary."

"So the board of directors decided to sign a contract with you for one year, 110 million. Mr. Liu Rui, this should be the most sincere contract you can receive so far." If Liu Rui hadn't been reborn, looking at the contract in Robert Johnson's hand at this time, and seeing that kind and friendly smile, I'm afraid he would really believe his nonsense.

But if he sees it clearly, the short-term contract is in line with his wishes. He is really afraid that if he comes up with a long-term contract, he will really lose out...

"Thank you very much for Mr. Robert's trust. Don't worry, I will lead the Bobcats on the right track. I have no objection to the contract, but I have one request." Liu Rui said with a smile and picked up the pen.

"Oh? I don't know what other requests are there?" Robert stared at Liu Rui in front of him. Judging from the information, Liu Rui is not a successful person, and he seems to be very unlucky.

"I need the right to veto the team's draft and trade, and the right to speak about personnel changes."

"Of course, in order not to embarrass the general manager Mr. "Smith", I will add a premise. If I can bring out a record that is satisfactory to everyone, then I hope that my opinion can be accepted in the construction of the team in the future." Liu Rui looked up and smiled at Robert, as if very confident.

Robert bowed his head in thought for a moment.

"Okay, no problem. As long as you can lead the team to a record that the management is satisfied with, the team will give you more say. I will inform "Smith."

"Okay, happy cooperation." Liu Rui handed over the signed contract to Robert, also heaving a sigh of relief.

"Haha, of course, of course the cooperation is pleasant. The players are now practicing shooting in the arena below. On the first day of taking office, I will ask Smith to take you to familiarize yourself with the staff. After a while, you will lead the team to the preseason. The chance of running in may be very short."

Following Smith to the arena, the players put down their basketballs and looked here when they heard the general manager Mr. Smith shouting.

"Put down the things in your hands and come to stand in line."

"Let me introduce first. The person next to me is the future head coach of the team, Mr. Liu Rui. In the future, you must follow the arrangements of Mr. Liu Rui." Smith said to the people standing in the arena.

"What? He will be our team's head coach? Is that right? Looks so young?"

"Oh my God, I always thought our coach would be Mr. Piccolo. I didn't expect such a young guy to come."

Seeing the people below talking to each other, Liu Rui smiled and didn't answer. He had already expected this kind of scene.

"Everyone will run 50 rounds, and stand in line after the run, except for Wallace, because you have to run 60 rounds. Of course, you can refuse, but I'm afraid you will be blacklisted by me. If there is no problem, let's start now." Liu Rui still had a smile on his face, and he looked more like a heart-warming uncle.

"What? I'm going to run 50 sets of back and forth? Is this going to show us off?"

"Isn't this young man too ignorant?"

There was a burst of whispering from below, obviously not a good thing, and no one moved their steps.

"Yes, I understand."

After hearing this, Gerald Wallace resolutely got up first and ran to the arena, and started the training of turning and running.

"Oh Maikar, since it's serious, I'm going to die."

With the veteran "Steve Smith" who has been in the league for 13 years, he has already begun to prepare for the return run.

More and more people below began to join the formation of turning back and running. As for whether they are willing or not, who cares.

People who can be drafted here by the expansion of the army just want more playing time. At this time, contradicting the coach is undoubtedly arousing the upper body.

"Oh, dear Liu Rui, it's a pleasure to meet you here." Chief assistant Bickerstaff looked at Liu Rui with a smile on his face.

It can be seen that he is really happy, his fame was almost ruined...

"Hello, Piccolo, I have known you for a long time. I am very glad to meet you. I hope we can cooperate happily." Liu Rui still feels very happy that he has a teaching assistant so soon.

"Oh, by the way, the two behind me are defensive assistant Bickerstaff Jr. (his son) and physical fitness assistant Brownie. They are also some excellent talents." Bickerstaff pointed to the two behind him and introduced.

"Haha, okay, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future, I can see that the two of you are indeed excellent..."

Looking at the two people behind him, Liu Rui had black lines on his face, as if a crow flew over his heart. In his previous life, physical fitness assistant Bulan Mi came to the new team to level up, and it was a job heaped up with money.

As for the other assistant, Bickerstaff Jr., he is purely related.

In the previous life, after the head coach Bickerstaff led the team for three consecutive seasons with a stable record in the league and was fired, the team never thought of letting him take over the team.

I would rather hire the third assistant coach of the Mavericks without considering him, which shows how excellent his personal ability is...

After the refrigerator "McHale" was dismissed by the Rockets in 15, Bickerstaff Jr. served as the head coach of the Rockets, and was dismissed in less than half a year.

Later, he served as an assistant coach to the Grizzlies. After David Fizdale was fired in the 17th season, he successfully took over as the head coach of the Grizzlies.

Under the leadership of Bickerstaff Jr., the Grizzlies managed to stay away from the playoffs.

The poor results seemed to have angered Bickerstaff Jr., and at the end of the season, he raged for the No. 4 pick in the first round.

In the second season, he made a comeback, and in a fit of rage, he won the second place pick...

Jaren Jackson Jr.: Thank you so much! !
Morant: So that's how we got here? ?
