As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of a rope. The disadvantages exposed by the Raptors last season can be said to be completely compensated for during the offseason.

Lack of defense? No problem, keep bench bandit Evans, introduce defensive champion Tony Allen, and also grab Matt Barnes, a famous bad boy from the Lakers.

A shortage of small forwards? It is easy to deal with. Pondsett was selected in the draft and Matt Barnes as a supplement. It is reported that DeRozan is also developing towards a swing man. If it goes well, he may be the third position of the Raptors.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Raptors' third position will be controlled by Pondsett and Matt Barnes in the new season. If possible, DeRozan can also play a cameo.

Now, the only question that is open is their head coach.

When the Raptors' coach position was suspended, coaches from all over the United States who miss and think about the NBA were all moved.

If you can take charge of the Raptors' coaching point, what it means is self-evident.

Even mediocre people like Jay Triano who have no real talent and knowledge can lead them to the semi-finals, and they will fight six games with the runner-up. Who will be the same?

Although the NBA is a place where the winner is determined by the championship, there is only one championship team every season, and some teams have been established for decades and have not seen what the O'Brien Cup looks like at close range.

For the head coach, resume is very important.

If he had a beautiful resume, he would not have to worry about not having a job. If Triano hadn’t loved Toronto, he could have gone to find another place. After all, he is no longer the coach of a bad team. His resume has a very eye-catching "leading the Raptors to the Eastern Conference Semi-finals in the 2009-2010 season."

Li Xing visited the United States all the time, but he never had the choice.

At this moment, he could only sigh at the wasted time in his previous life.

If he was a pure fan, why would it be so troublesome now?

At this time, a man with ideals came from San Antonio, and he wanted to come to this strange country to seek a bright future.

Quinn Snyder.

When he was a student, he was a member of the Duke Blue Devils and wanted to challenge the NBA, but he failed due to his talent.

He also wanted to travel to Europe to continue his basketball career, but in the end he gave up and became a coach.

At that time, no one knew why Larry Brown selected him to the coaching staff. Just like it was once strange that Coach K chose Snyder to play in Duke.

Less than a year, Brown was dismissed, and Snyder immediately returned to Duke University to be the assistant of Coach K. Although Snyder reached the final four three times in four years in college, he unfortunately failed to win the championship. This is a regret of his basketball career.

In this way, Snyder stayed with Lao K for six years, and during this period, Duke never won the championship.

In 1999, Snyder got his first opportunity in his coaching career. He became the head coach of the University of Mississippi and led the team to the quarterfinals of the elite, which was a highlight in his resume.

Starting from 2007, Snyder joined the Spurs' coaching staff and became the head coach of the Austin Bulls, a Spurs affiliated development league team. During this period, he often discussed skills and tactics with Popovich, who was in the same league, and enhanced his business capabilities.

Last year, he was elected the best head coach of the Development League.

It can be said that Snyder has undergone a lot of training and needs an opportunity and stage to display his talents.

When he heard that Triano resigned and the Raptors coach was unsolved, he saw an opportunity.

He is good at the Spurs, but he wants better, he wants a chance to make a name for himself.

He waited for such an opportunity for ten years. Ten years ago, he became the head coach of the University of Mississippi and has since emerged. Now, he finally sees hope again.

So he resolutely handed over his resignation letter and went to Toronto.

These days, famous coaches have appeared at the Esbjert Center at any time. In terms of fame, Snyder is far inferior to them.

Li Xing also returned from out.

There are still one and a half months before the opening of the new season training camp. The Raptors need to decide on the head coach candidate as soon as possible so that the preparations for the new season can be officially started.

"Latch, I feel like my fucking shooting has improved a lot. I made 100 consecutive three-pointers from the outside yesterday!"

Since the moment Stephenson was selected by the Raptors, he has become Li Xing's dog-legged.

As long as Li Xingren is in Toronto, he will follow him without hesitation.

He regards Li Xing as his benefactor and trusts him very much.

"Lance, are you nothing else?"

Li Xing wanted to take a break, but this rookie who had nothing to do after eating and had nothing to do was always following behind his butt, like a spring bird chirping, making me so annoyed.

Stephenson said eagerly: "Is there anything I need to serve? Lachie, don't worry!"

"Rookie, help me buy water!"

Evans yelled from a distance.

"Reggie, you can let Quincy go, he likes running errands the most." Even a slut like Stephenson is afraid of unreasonable hooligans like Evans.

Evans muttered: "I will let anyone go if I want to go! You don't have so much nonsense? Just go if you want to go! The execution is over, do you understand?"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

If you say another word, you must be beaten...

Stephenson immediately ran away from Evans.

Li Xing finally got free: "Reggie, it's better to rookies."

"You don't understand! If you deal with a rookie like you who is big or small, you have to fight violence with violence, otherwise he will think you are easy to bully!" Evans looked at Li Xing with a bad look and said, "Just like you, if you think Chris is gone, you are the boss, and you will know the consequences."

This cold look made Li Xing feel inexplicably uncomfortable: "I understand, I understand."

"Fuck! I hate this place! Why don't there be even brown bear juice in the convenience store outside?"

The new arrival Matt Barnes is a irritable bastard. He acted very arrogantly when he first arrived and did not treat himself as an outsider at all.

Tony Allen lay on the ground and stretched with the trainer. Hearing his complaint, he said lightly: "Who told you to come to the countryside? Toronto just has no brown bear juice!"

"Fuck! Where there is no brown bear juice, it is not as good as the countryside! I think it is still in the 20th century!" Barnes seemed to have a lot of opinions about Toronto.

Seeing this irritable training atmosphere, Snyder shook his head silently in his heart.

If I were in charge of the coaching staff, I must let myself shine with a new brilliance and I will never be as scattered as I am now!

Finally, Li Xing noticed Snyder and asked Evans beside him: "Who is that?"

"It seems like a coach from San Antonio, he has no reputation, so he probably came to try his luck."

Evans said disdainfully: "Damn it! These cats and dogs really think we are collecting rags? Everyone wants to get some kicks!"

Li Xing had no hope at all, so he opened the Eye of Omnisense casually, swept Snyder's attributes, and was so shocked that he jumped up from the ground.

"Looking in a trough!"

Coaching potential: Level A.

Style: Defense is the first priority, inside line is the basis, and discipline is emphasized.

Although he currently has low attributes and as a coach, his rating is less than 70, he has the potential to be A-level.

Coaches are a very special existence. Once those coaches with great potential have the opportunity to coach the team, their scores will rise rapidly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Evans said: "Can you beg you? Do you want me to beat you up?"

"go!"

Li Xing followed and wanted to see how the team interviewed.

I wonder how good this guy is to express himself? Can he be so embarrassed at once? If it doesn't work, he will have to do it.

The office was filled with Raptors' management and coaching staff.

Former coach Triano is the examiner, and Colangelo attaches great importance to his opinions.

"Quinn, we watched your game in Austin Bulls. We think your coaching method meets our needs. Let's talk about your team building philosophy." Triano asked with a smile.

Snyder was not nervous at all and talked freely: "Jay, my philosophy is consistent with you."

"Rachie Lee is the unshakable cornerstone of the team building."

"If it were me, I would follow this system and polish it in other aspects," Snyder said.

Li Xing just stood outside and listened.

He didn't know what other coaches said during the interview, but what Snyder said was deeply favored by him.

Triano asked a question, and Snyder could answer a lot. This was what he had prepared before. At this moment, he just expressed his years of coaching experience.

After Snyder finished speaking, Li Xing pushed the door and entered: "Everyone, I don't want to eavesdrop, I just want to come in and get something."

Snyder looked back at Li Xing. All the key points he had just mentioned were that success or failure was only about Li Xing.

Whether his philosophy can be successful depends on Li Xing's future performance.

Of course, the Raptors also need to give him this opportunity.

"Rachy, since you're hearing it, do you have any opinions?" Triano asked casually.

Li Xing smiled and said, "I don't understand this very well, but I think he said it very well."

After saying that, Li Xing walked out of the room.

No one knows what Li Xing said, and Triano said to Snyder: "We will contact you if you need it."

"Okay, thank you very much!"

Snyder got up and walked out of the room.

If he fails to hold the Raptors' coaching staff in the end, he may regret it, regretting that he gave up his coaching position in the Development League for this slim hope.

But if you don't give up and fight, this matter will always bother him.

At this time, Li Xing was practicing a low-post jump shot not far away.

He hasn't developed this skill last season.

Seeing Li Xing evolved again, Snyder thought about how I would arrange him if he was under my command?
