I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 68 Target Head Coach

"Nate McMillan? I don't know him, Mr. General Manager. Did you call me here to ask me about my impression of him?"

After dragging "Half-Life" to the general manager's office.Liu Baoqiang originally thought that his general manager would blame him for some ultra vires actions yesterday.Or there are some new tasks that have to be handed over to him.

After all, now that I think about Liu Baoqiang's actions yesterday, it was indeed a bit over the top. If a player has done all the work of the coach, then what's the use of the coach...?
Coupled with the previous inertia, although Liu Baoqiang is both a player and a scout, his scouting work will always be much more than the player's work.

So if Liu Baoqiang was assigned another task, it wouldn't be surprising at all...

But what I didn't expect was that after coming here, it would have nothing to do with the first two.John Nash didn't even mean to blame him.

But he was polite again.

Then he asked about his impression of the current head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics, Nate McMillan.

Honestly, before John Nash told him who the head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics was.Liu Baoqiang really doesn't know what this guy named Nate McMillan does...?
After all, the levels are different, and the attention is different.

Don't look at this guy when he's on the bench.There is still the habit of using books to screen and record player characteristics...

Most of the players in the league also have "archives" with him...

But these are only for players after all.It also falls within the scope of his job.

It doesn't involve the coaching level at all.

So even if this guy has a file of two or three hundred players.But even the head coaches of all the teams in the league haven't figured out who...?
And it just so happens that Liu Baoqiang doesn't know who the head coach of the Supersonics is...Of course, he knows now.

"Haha, it's really nothing, just asking casually..."

Don't look at Liu Baoqiang being confused when asked, but in fact John Nash really "seemed" to ask casually....

It's just that this casualness is only for the current Liu Baoqiang.

Liu Baoqiang's incident yesterday caused quite a stir.After all, the tactics this guy came up with do have a lot of merit.

John Nash did not deny that he was also amazed, so he called Liu Baoqiang to come over and had something to do with this incident.

As we all know, there are four major system tactics commonly used in the league.

They are the triangle offense system, the run and bomb system, the pick-and-roll system, and the Princeton system.

And as we all know...the system is dead and the man is alive.To condense the tactical connotation of basketball, it is nothing more than running, blocking, and shooting.

No matter how many systems there are, the most important thing is how to use them, who is using them, and how effective they are.

Just as Alderman took the Princeton system to the extreme, this is the magnificent era of kings!

Another example is Phil Jackson relying on the triangle offense system.This continued the Bulls dynasty and created the Lakers dynasty.

Another example is Jerry Sloan's constant changes to the pick-and-roll system.This is the golden pairing of Stockton and Karl Malone.

And old Don Nelson's constant attempts made people remember the Suns' 7-second run and bomb attack.

In short, people don't necessarily remember who the creators of these tactics are?

But definitely remember who used these tactics to effect.

And Liu Baoqiang seems to be remembered by people...

Although this guy's tactics are a set of mixed-and-match fusion tactics...

The shadows of all tactical systems can also be seen inside.

But it cannot be denied that its practicality is very high.

In addition, this set of mixed tactics seems to be this guy's original work..., then the meaning is completely different.

Just two days ago.John Nash was still having a headache and didn't know what to do next to create momentum for Liu Baoqiang.And how to maximize the benefits of Liu Baoqiang's "brand"?
In the end, I didn't expect this guy to create momentum for himself first...

Early this morning, many news media have conducted a lot of analysis and interpretation of Liu Baoqiang's tactics.

Needless to say, this guy is on fire again....

And just when John Nash was watching these news happily.For Liu Baoqiang's self-improvement speed, I was also happy when I was blooming...

He accidentally received a call from Nate McMillan.

"Man, can you help me with your player named Liu, his tactics are simply amazing, I have some things I want to communicate with him, but he doesn't seem to have an agent, and I can't get him phone number! I can only ask you for help!"

Nate McMillan?

A player who didn't have much to show for his career.

But it is a head coach who makes people feel wonderful after retiring.

Why such an introduction?Just read his resume a little bit.

Nate McMillan, the No. 86 pick in the second round of 30.

13 years of professional career, all dedicated to the Seattle SuperSonics.

He is affectionately called "Mr. Sonic" by local fans in Seattle.

Nate McMillan, who retired in 99, became an assistant coach for the Sonics, and was promoted to head coach in 01.

During his four-year coaching career, it can be said that he has maximized the Sonics' existing resources.

As mentioned earlier, the Sonics have a super shooter like Ray Allen and a big shooter like Lewis.

But except for these two.The Sonics just don't have any players that can stand out.

But even so! "Rookie" coach Nate McMillan has kept the Sonics' record at around 50%.

Especially this season, the Sonics' record is ranked third in the Western Conference.It was almost able to catch up with the second-ranked Spurs.

It is precisely because of this that Nate McMillan's coaching ability is recognized by the entire league.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the Blazers.Even if people were amazed by Liu Baoqiang's tactics, Qu Shen was willing to talk to him, and it had nothing to do with John Nash.

But who made the Trail Blazers looking for a new head coach now?It just so happens that Nate McMillan is the Blazers' first-choice target again....Then there is a big relationship here...

As of the end of this season, the coaching contract between Nate McMillan and the Sonics is over.

Regardless of whether the two parties will renew the contract again.Anyway, the Trail Blazers are interested in others.

So this pursuit is also reasonable.

In addition, "poaching corners" belongs to John Nash, the general manager's job.

Since the other party is now coming to his door..., of course he has to make plans!

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to benefit from his work, he must first sharpen his tools.

John Nash didn't know what to do with Nate McMillan before.But now he has some clues...

Of course, since it's a plan, it won't be immediately obvious.John Nash has to think long term.

He still has to deal with why Liu Baoqiang was called here first...?
