As soon as Zhang Hao said this, the entire reception room was shocked.

This answer is completely unexpected!

No one has ever thought about this.

Their Supersonics team has a strong lineup, and even if they recruit assistant coaches, there are many capable people.

After all, they are recruiting assistant coaches. Although there are many people coming, more than a dozen people get interview opportunities for jobs, and many are capable, their Supersonics team has high requirements for assistant coaches, so ordinary capable people are not allowed. The interview location is in Los Angeles, and Zhang Hao can get news at any time. The coaching staff and management will also notify Zhang Hao of all the names that are good at abilities.

After all, if Zhang Hao likes a coach, even if his ability is not that good enough, as long as it is not bad, it doesn't matter if he signs it, and it may not be the key position of the executive coach.

But there were 12 names reported in total, and Zhang Hao had various reasons to refuse.

When I arrived at Eddie Jordan, I was very direct and didn't like the triangle offense.

But even so, no one in the Supersonics team wanted to think in this direction by themselves, but they just felt that Zhang Hao's requirements were too high.

After all, their previous coaching team was really excellent. At this time, Zhang Hao had too high vision, so they could understand.

Now they realized that it didn't seem like that! They clearly couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so they said, "I don't like it."

The silver fox stared at Zhang Hao... Sure enough!

This dead child has long been plotting to plan this matter!

He felt strange when he heard his son say that Zhang Hao didn't like triangular attack a few days ago.

At the beginning, O'Neal played a triangular offense with Kenny Anderson and O'Neal.

But even the Silver Fox didn't think about this at that time, after all, it was too unreasonable.

Now, the silver fox suddenly became enlightened!

As early as when I came to this team 4 years ago, Silver Fox found that the direction of this team building a coaching team was particularly... Especially, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as awkward.

By this year, the colleagues in the coaching team who have worked together for four years have gone their separate ways and have basically become the coaches of a team. Silver Fox is old, and to be honest, it is difficult to go out to find a head coach. After all, choosing a coach requires age and health issues. Silver Fox has reduced his salary to stay in the team to support Harris, but he voluntarily withdrew from the front-line coaching ranks.

At that time, I just felt that it was time to retreat, and I didn’t think about it in more directions. Now I find that I’m doing it too well!

Silver Fox reviewed the composition of the coaching team and the adjustment of the transition period in the middle. Zhang Hao has been gradually strengthening his role in the coaching team for four years...

The silver fox suddenly discovered that, starting from the creation of such a coaching team, is this dead child waiting for this day?

Based on his understanding of Zhang Hao, this kind of thing is something that Zhang Hao can do...what is, it must be!

All of them have come to this point. Although others don’t think so much like Silver Fox, they also feel it. This summer, Zhang Hao strongly rejected so many people who want to become the executive coach of their team, just want to come by themselves.

Howard Schultz's thinking quickly turned, and he thought of going with the Silver Fox and couldn't help but applaud. The others... stared at each other, not knowing how to respond to Zhang Hao.

Larry Harris wants to quit...

But the two best managers are reluctant to leave!

At this time, the decision-making power was actually handed over to him! Which team here has a lower status than his stingy fox?

But when this comes the time, he becomes the one with decision-making power.

Larry Harris said, "Aix, we need to discuss this."

This answer is good. Howard Schultz and Jordan looked at each other, but they didn't respond.

...

"Michael, do you say, Aix is ​​serious?"

"It must be serious, and now looking back, he has been laying the groundwork for this matter for a long time."

"Do you think we should agree to him?"

"I have no idea."

When Jordan saw Howard Schultz wanted to get rid of the blame, he decisively avoided it.

With a boss like Howard Schultz, as an employee, the good thing is that he can have more autonomy. This boss just regards NBA teams as an amateur hobby.

Of course, just like playing LOL, you must win if you can win. You will also find ways to make your "number" stronger and you won't feel heartbroken if you invest money.

But such bosses always like to turn the blame... Once they encounter something difficult to decide, they will think of throwing the trouble to the people under their command.

Howard Schultz did not regard the Supersonics as business, so there would be no psychological burden on the businessman.

Seeing that Jordan was not taking the blame, Howard Schultz muttered: "Del's old fox called Larry away. He wanted him to deal with this matter."

Jordan thought about it and said, "This matter seems simple. We agree or not. There are two choices, but if we choose to agree, it is hard to say whether the impact will be good or bad."

Howard Schultz nodded and replied: "Yes, this is a troublesome, and it's not just a matter of our team. From my feeling, Aix can do this job, but the decision we have to make affects more than just us."

"Yes, we give Aix power, no problem, but this will inevitably affect the overall power that the player has. Give a player too much power. Aix's request this time is not even a 'on-field coach' like Kidd, but a real assistant coach... If we meet it, this will form..."

Jordan could not use words to describe what was formed and was stuck.

Howard Schultz continued: "It will form a chain reaction that will implicate the foundation of the entire professional basketball system."

"Yes, it's this...Boss, how should we solve this problem?"

Howard Schultz did not answer this, but said: "As the owner of an NBA team, I feel that we have a responsibility to handle this matter well. We need to be responsible for basketball and the professional basketball system."

"Boss, are you going to refuse?"

"No, Michael, I'll teach you how to do business."

A trace of light flashed in Jordan's eyes, but there was no sound.

"We cannot agree to a player's request to be an assistant coach. He can have the right to make decisions on the court, but we will never agree to such a request. This is not a request a player should make, just like we should not owe the players' salaries."

"Ah?" Jordan was pricking up his ears and listening carefully. Unexpectedly, he heard such a sentence, and quickly said: "Boss, we didn't agree to this person just now. Although he didn't seem to be a big deal, he proposed to be an assistant coach, so he must have made up his mind to do that."

Howard Schultz blinked and said, "When did Aix say he wanted to be an assistant? In the afternoon? In the afternoon, didn't we go to Aix's house to listen to Aix's son Tiga's violin concert?"

"Hmm?" Jordan looked black.

Howard Schultz said to himself: "Michael, we recently interviewed an executive coach, one of the important parts of the coaching staff, and the work was not going well. In fact, the executive coach was not so important, and it was the least important position.

More importantly, the head coach who builds a system, adjusts the defensive defensive coach, provides a tactical reserve library, and tactical coach who adjusts tactics according to the technical and tactical characteristics shown by players at different stages, as well as coach team consultants who coordinate the entire general direction. These are the most important things for the coach team.

However, although executive coaches are the least important, we need a leader with strong on-the-spot adaptability on the court.

What a pity, Paul won three consecutive championships and went back to college to coach. It's a pity that he couldn't find such an excellent person.

In the afternoon we wanted Aix to take the job together, but he refused. Michael, what should we do? You are his teacher, so we have to persuade him well. We really can't find a suitable person, so we can only let him take it for the time being."

“??????”

Jordan was stunned!

‘Is this the case?

oh!

Yes! That's it!’

‘Wait, that brat also thought of this situation, so he chose to host us at his house instead of going to a club or restaurant? Why not be spread?’

‘Mom… are these people in suits doing business so scary?’

...

...

In mid-August, media reported that the Supersonics stopped recruiting coaches.

This caused a wave of discussion.

The Supersonics team's coaching staff has a certain reputation in the basketball world and is a very special coaching staff.

Except for the difference in positions, the coaching staff of the Supersonics team are almost the same in terms of voice, because they all recognize each other's abilities.

Some coaches don’t like this environment and cannot join, but some coaches like it very much.

Some coaches are afraid of exposing their shortcomings in such an environment. Such coaches will often be stubborn when they are head coaches, and may even refuse to adopt some good suggestions from assistant coaches that they are not good at.

Of course, some people like this environment where some people can make up for their own shortcomings.

It is because it is special that a coaching staff can have a certain reputation.

But no matter whether other coaches like the coaching team of the Supersonics team or not, the coaches of the Supersonics team were sought after by many teams after leaving the Supersonics team.

This has left many people applying for interviews when the Supersonics recruits coaches this summer.

The Supersonics team's last coach position executive coach, and the ownership of this position is still very popular.

In the past few years, the Supersonics team game has been broadcast live. Whenever the camera is given to the bench, as long as it is given to the coach, more than half of the time is given to the former Supersonics executive coach Paul Westfal.

There are quite a lot of coaches who have applied for this position and have been head coaches of NBA or NCAA teams, but the Supersonics have never selected good people.

Until now, it was a sudden time for the Supersonics to stop recruiting executive coaches!

Not only rumors, but also the truth. The Supersonics management checked out the conference room rented by the hotel where he stayed in Los Angeles. Except for general manager Larry Harris, the others left the hotel. Howard Schultz went to Washington, DC to have coffee with the commander, and Jordan went to help Zhang Hao and Artest.

Only Larry Harris and Scott Collins are left in the stadium of Inglewood High School in Los Angeles, bringing Arroyo, Marquis Daniels, Ginobili, Chandler and other young players to train.

Sometimes, some things always come by coincidence...

On August 16, 2003, Gary Payton joined the Kings at the invitation of Garnett, with a full middle class in three years of $15.9 million!
