NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 200 Luxurious Coaching Team

On the plane, Presti looked at the laughing players behind him, but he fell into deep thought. When he played against the 76ers just now, he made too many mistakes, otherwise he would not have fallen behind by so many points in the first half.

A lot of balls are passed for the purpose of passing. This is a bit like when the warriors of the previous life passed for the purpose of passing. As a result, various mistakes were caught and countered.

And sometimes, the point of the game is unexpected, and I often overlook some things. Although I won the game in the end, it was often because the opponent's player's personal ability was not up to the mark. Thinking of this, Presti felt that he needed to find some available assistant coaches to assist him.

That night, Presti announced a day off. The schedule was too dense, and the players had to be given some rest time.

The next day, Presti saw the news that shocked him. Knicks coach D'Antoni resigned as head coach.

Why so early? He remembered that in his previous life, D'Antoni resigned as the head coach in March. Thinking of this, Presti watched all the news about the Knicks.

At a glance, Presti instantly understood that in his previous life, the Knicks Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler had a record of 8 wins and 15 losses, but then Jeremy Lin turned out to win the Kings, Lakers, Raptors and other teams. He won seven consecutive victories. With the "Whirlwind Lin" violently blowing, D'Antoni temporarily retained his position as coach.

But this season, the Knicks did not have Jeremy Lin, so they did not have the brilliant record in the following series. Therefore, D'Antoni could only be forced to dismiss get out of class.

"This season is so dense, one of the most suitable tactics is running and bombing." Thinking of this, Presti suddenly made a decision.

Presti quickly called Miles and asked him to check D'Antoni's phone number. After getting the number, Presti called.

The phone was connected quickly, and a tired voice came: "Hello, who are you?"

Presti immediately said: "I am Presti, the owner of the Hornets."

"Ah, hello, what's the matter?" D'Antoni's voice was calm. He just got out of class from the Knicks, which has one of the highest market capitalizations in the league. There's really no need for a New Orleans owner to be excited. Besides, the other party is also the head coach. The team has no shortage of head coaches, so it has nothing to do with him.

Presti didn't care about D'Antoni's reaction, but said sincerely: "I want to hire you as the coach of our team."

Now D'Antoni's voice finally fluctuated: "You have no shortage of coaches, besides, you are now the number one in the league."

"Assistant coach," Presti said immediately.

"Don't do it!" D'Antoni immediately vetoed it. Are you kidding me? I just came down from the head coach to be your assistant coach? As I said that, I wanted to hang up the phone. Presti quickly said: "Don't hang up in a hurry, listen to me."

D'Antoni paused, he wanted to listen to what the other party had to say, anyway, there was no way for him to be an assistant,

Presti saw that the phone was not hung up, so he said: "Although you resigned yourself, everyone knows that you were dismissed because you had a "luxury" lineup but failed to achieve a corresponding record. Don't you feel resigned? Are you really that bad? Don't you want to prove it?"

Although D'Antoni didn't speak, he was already gritted his teeth beside the phone, how could he be reconciled.

Presti continued: "Don't you want your run and gun lineup to play in the Finals?"

He thought, why didn't he want to, especially that he fell twice in the Western Conference Finals that year is his long-standing regret, D'Antoni said lightly: "So what."

Although D'Antoni's tone was calm at this time, Presti knew that his heart would never be so calm at this time, and Presti decided to make a big move.

So he tempted: "Come to be an assistant coach, I will give you a chance to prove to all the fans who doubt your coaching level, and I will leave the team's offensive tactics to you in the future!"

"What?" D'Antoni exclaimed, unable to keep his composure any longer.

"Use your philosophy to build the team's offense, I believe you have watched the Hornets game, you should know how my team fits your philosophy," Presti said with a smile.

"Huh~" D'Antoni didn't hesitate any longer. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he said very seriously: "I promise, I hope you will keep your promise, if not, I will resign immediately."

"Well, then pack up and come to New Orleans"

"Okay, I'll go right away." D'Antoni didn't want to wait for a moment. He wanted to prove to the Knicks fans that it wasn't that my tactical philosophy was bad, but that your players didn't fit me.

After putting down the phone, Presti felt that since D'Antoni had gotten it, then Steve Kerr had to get it too.

So Presti asked Miles to get the phone and immediately dialed it.
"Hello, who are you?" Cole was very sure that he didn't recognize the number.

"I'm Presti,"

"Ah, hello," Cole was a little excited. After all, he wanted to join the Hornets coaching staff before, and he liked the team's style of play so much.

"Although you have been working as a commentator, I know that being a coach has always been your dream, and I also think you have this ability, so I would like to invite you to be the assistant coach of our Hornets," Presti said sincerely.

In his previous life, Cole only became the head coach of the Warriors in 2014, so Presti was uncertain at this time.

Cormon on the other side of the phone, such a big pie fell on himself?Originally due to the impact of the lockout this year, I thought about applying for the next year, but the boss came to recruit in person!

There was no sound for a long time, and Presti thought that the other party probably disagreed, so he said, "I'm sorry, it's a bit difficult, good night."

"No, no, I promise," Cole said anxiously when he heard that Presti had misunderstood.

"Haha, then wish us win this year's championship," Presti said happily when Cole agreed.

"Haha" Cole also laughed immediately.

After putting down the phone, a person's name came to mind again. Jeff Bzdelik is a very good defensive assistant and is very good at arranging defensive tactics at critical moments.Thinking of this, Presti called Miles: "Jeff Bzdelik, how do you get this guy on the team, he is very good at setting up defense."

After hearing this, Miles said confidently: "Leave it to me,"

For an hour, Miles lived up to expectations and successfully brought Jeff Bzdelik over.
In this way, the Hornets' luxury coaching staff was established!
