Chapter 45 Interview Journey
Because Swift is the only insider on the list, and Swift is not a reliable traditional insider, Jiang Dongbing made the University of Pittsburgh implement its own running and bombing tactics.
"By the way, Jiang, in a post-match press conference, you can take the opportunity to announce the news that you are about to enter the NBA." Pirlo said again.
-
Jiang Dongbing nodded, "Okay, thank you."
This is also the last convenience for Pirlo to give Jiang Dong a military campaign. Letting him announce the news on such an occasion is equivalent to telling the world.
...
"Coach Jiang, do you remember your previous bet with Coach Roy Williams?" There was a good news reporter who did not forget this.
Jiang Dongbing laughed, "Of course I remember, I'm already waiting for you to report on the news that Williams resigned as head coach of the Pine Hawks."
"Today is our happy day to win the championship, so don't mention such disappointment anymore."
The reporters from the audience raised their hands to ask questions one after another. They had too many questions to ask the three people on the stage.
"Stephen, the NBA lottery conference has not started yet. Do you have any teams you want to go to?" the reporter asked.
"Of course it's a big city like New York and Los Angeles." Jackson gave his answer very simply.
There are quite a few players like Jackson who want to go to big city teams, and some of them even try to avoid signing up after being selected by small teams.
According to Jackson, he obviously aimed at the Los Angeles Clippers, because the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks have good records this year, at least they have made it steadily to the playoffs. They cannot have such a high draft pick to choose Jackson.
Although the Clippers are a little weak, they at least occupy the big city of Los Angeles. In addition, there is not a single star in the team, so they are still very popular among new players.
However, the premise is that the Clippers can draw a draft pick that is suitable for Jackson in the draw in May, otherwise Jackson can only be wishful thinking.
"Stephen, if the Clippers draw the No. 1 pick in the next lottery, do you think they will choose you with the No. 1 pick?" Another reporter asked.
This reporter has completely bad intentions. David is the most popular No. 1 pick now. If he asks this question, he has the intention to provoke Jackson and David's relationship.
However, he underestimated Jackson and followed Jiang Dongbing for nearly two years. Jackson improved not only his strength on the field, but also his behavior on the field became much more mature.
"I don't know if the Clippers will choose me after they get the No. 1 pick, but I know they will definitely make a choice between me and David, and it will definitely not be Olovo Kandy." Jackson said confidently.
The reporters were delighted, and they liked this kind of answer that could set the pace. After returning, a news article about "Jackson looked down on Olovo Kandy" was released directly.
"David, do you have a team you like now?" The reporter turned his goal to David Tyron.
Jiang Dongbing originally wanted to take the microphone and answer this question for David himself. However, David shook his head, took a deep breath and opened his mouth and said, "I want to continue playing under the coach."
These words made the reporters on the scene confused and continued to play under Jiang Dongbing? Is David Taylon not going to participate in the draft?
David has not really signed up for the draft yet, so he just said verbally that it would be impossible if he quit the draft.
Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but explain when he saw the reporter's puzzled expression.
"Maybe everyone has misunderstood David's meaning. His plan to participate in the draft has not changed, but something has changed on my side."
"I will not continue to coach the Pittsburgh Panthers next season, nor will I stay in NCAA, but will be ready to enter the NBA."
As soon as Jiang Dongbing said this, the reporters immediately understood in their hearts. It turns out that not only the two great gods in the Pittsburgh Panthers left the team, but even the head coach Jiang Dongbing was going to run away?
"I just took this opportunity to advertise myself. NBA teams who are interested in changing their coaches are welcome to contact me."
"Give me a year to prepare the lineup, two years to ensure the playoffs, three years to ensure the division finals, four years to give you a championship!" Jiang Dongbing really advertised himself.
However, in the opinion of the reporter on the scene, he has been hyped a little bit. Is he going to give you a championship in four years? How can I get it so easily in NBA championships?
Because of the salary cap, NBA cannot recruit stars like NCAA without restrictions, especially those superstars that cross the ages, which can be said to be incomprehensible and unanimous.
Not to mention four years, some people have been head coaches for more than 20 years and have never tasted the taste of a championship.
Now Jiang Dongbing says he won the championship in four years, but no one on the scene believes that Jiang Dongbing is just bragging.
...
After the press conference, with Pirlo's recommendation, Jiang Dongbing met several people in the NBA circle again.
However, these people are not the top figures in the circle. They are generally some marginal coaches or general managers. Maybe they are all in a daze, so Jiang Dongbing will definitely not be able to count on them.
At this point in time, the NBA regular season is not over yet, and the season is about to end. It is estimated that there will be no team changing coaches at this point, so the only thing Jiang Dongbing can do now is to wait.
At least we have to wait until mid-April, the NBA regular season schedule ends, and those teams that have not made the playoffs may have plans to change coaches.
What Jiang Dongbing did not expect was that early the next morning, he received an interview invitation from two teams.
One is the Los Angeles Clippers, and the other is the King of Saramento.
This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Jiang Dongbing, which means that his NBA journey had a good start.
To put it bluntly, the head coach is just a job. The team naturally has to interview for hiring a head coach, especially for young coaches like Jiang Dongbing.
The king called himself for an interview. Jiang Dongbing could have imagined that he would never have expected the Clippers to call him.
Now the Kings' head coach is Eddie Jordan. He was once an NBA player, but his career is a bit ordinary. His only honor is to have a championship ring with Magic Johnson.
In the second half of the 1996-97 season, the Kings' original head coach was fired, and Eddie Jordan got the chance to get on the lead, but now he has played for one and a half seasons, and his team's record is really embarrassing. With a star like Rock Richmond in the team, he has not made it to the playoffs for two years.
Therefore, the king will inevitably have the idea of changing the commander. They contacted Jiang Dongbing, but they did not mean that they had to hire Jiang Dongbing, but just wanted to see Jiang Dongbing's situation. If it was appropriate, use it. If it was not appropriate, then look for others.
The situation on the Clippers is completely different. Eddie Jordan is just a minion in the coaching circle, and his qualifications are not much better than Jiang Dongbing.
Clippers head coach Bill Feich is a big-handed coach. He has coached in the NBA for 25 years and has all the championships, finals, best coaches and other honors. He will be a surefire coach in the future.
In addition to honors, his coaching ability is also top-notch. His entire coaching career is completely a role as a firefighter captain. Which team is so bad that he invites Fitch to save the medicine until he gets cured.
So Jiang Dongbing didn't expect that the Clippers would change their coach. In his opinion, the Clippers are just a bad team, and no one may be more suitable to coach the Clippers than Feiqi.
Among the entire NBA coaching group, Feiqi should be the greatest coach in Jiang Dongbing's heart. If you carefully observe Feiqi's leading team record, you will know how unusual this person is.
First, he joined a super bad team. For example, when he joined the Cavaliers, Nets and Clippers, the winning rate of these teams was about 20%, which means he could only win fifteen or sixteen games in a season.
After he coached for a few years, these teams underwent earth-shaking changes. After the winning rate exceeded 50%, Feiqi "runs away" directly...
When you are in the trough, when you are in the brink, you will retreat. After several times, you will definitely not find a coach more special than him.
