611: Changes in the coaching staff

In July, Spain is sunny. Please search on Baidu-

This is the second consecutive year that Link has been on vacation in Spain, and it must be said that this is a perfect place to go on vacation.

In addition to football, the beaches and beauties are also very popular in Spain. If you see a girl who is sunbathing on the beach in Spain, don’t be surprised, just go up and ask for the phone number.

But those have nothing to do with Link. He didn't go to the beach, so naturally he couldn't find a Spanish girl.

This time he came to Spain mainly to attend Gasol's wedding. Of course, Rachel also came with him.

"She is so beautiful." Looking at Christina Blesha who was wearing a wedding dress, Rachel's eyes were almost falling out.

Gasol's wife Blaisha wore a wedding dress with white upper body and green lower body today. At this time, the two were taking wedding photos on the lawn. Obviously, the green wedding dress was very compatible with the surrounding environment.

"That guy Mark has only been on vacation for a few days, and he has gained so much weight." Link's attention was not on Bresha, but on Marc Gasol's belly.

Gasol was a fat guy when he was a child. After entering NBA and controlling his diet, his figure was controlled.

However, Gasol is probably a fat-prone body, and his body has become much wider after only half a month off.

Link estimated that the gray suit Gasol was wearing was enough to cover himself as a quilt.

Having said that, Gasol's wedding is indeed simple enough. Not to mention other stars, even compared to ordinary people, it is not much luxurious.

I won’t mention the wedding photos taken on the wedding day, and the wedding itself is also very simple.

Early this morning, Gasol's relatives and friends all took a bus to a park in the suburbs. Then, Gasol exchanged rings with the bride in a church next to the park's lawn. Then, he took wedding photos on the lawn.

After the wedding photos, everyone will start the meal on the lawn later, until the evening, and the wedding will end.

If this is placed in China, even if it is an ordinary family, at least it will have to be a whole fleet or something. Of course, you have to choose wedding photos for a day, and you can take them at the same time when there is no wedding.

I can only say that people with different cultures and different concepts have completely different attitudes towards weddings.

"It's really troublesome, it's really troublesome." Randolph couldn't help but complain when he looked at Gasol who was posing according to the photographer's request.

This wedding, which seemed to be extremely simple to Link, was very troublesome to Randolph. After all, Randolph had already made his two girlfriends pregnant but still had no idea of ​​getting married.

This is true for most black people from poverty. In their opinion, even if their girlfriends have children, they may not get married. Howard is not married, and his children are enough to form a basketball team.

After the wedding photos were taken, the banquet officially began. The Grizzlies came Link, Randolph, Tony Allen, Iguodala and Conley. Although the others did not come, they all sent their blessings.

As for the others at the wedding, Link didn't know much. However, Link vaguely saw Gasol's teammate in the national team, and even recognized the "Spanish Golden Boy" Rubio.

At the wedding of basketball players, the ones they lack the most are basketball players. No wonder many of Blasha’s sisters seem to be "hunting" today.

After the banquet started, everyone from the Grizzlies naturally sat together. Everyone talked about the holiday. Although the holiday had just begun, most people still did a lot of interesting things.

Randolph went fishing on the sea for two days and claimed that he had caught a small shark. However, Link estimated that most bragging ingredients were involved.

Iguodala is talking about her investment again. Today, Iguodala, wearing a small vest and a white shirt, is like a business tycoon. When talking about business acumen, Link only obeys Iguodala.

However, after a while, everyone's topic returned to the team.

"Hey, have you heard of it? Dave will be our head coach next season! I like that guy, although he, like Hollins, emphasizes defense every day." Randolph said, taking a sip of beer with a refreshing sip.

"Zach, you're all the news a few days ago, okay. The latest news is that Jason Kidd may become our assistant coach." Tony Allen also went gossiped, although any coaching coach had no effect on him. Because no matter who coached the Grizzlies, all Tony Allen could do was defense.

"Kidd? Really?" Conley's eyes shone. If he could get guidance from a historical point guard, Conley believed that he would definitely go further.

Link just listened silently and did not participate in the discussion. In the past few days, he has really not cared about the team's coach change.

It’s not that the head coach is not important, but that Link knows Jogel’s personality and style too much. Working with him, Link believes that there will be no problems.

The head coach and the player must first match the style and have a matching personality. Only when these two points are met can you talk about tactical things.

If the generals are in conflict, the rest will be useless.

Link was listening, but his phone vibrated. Link thought it was a commercial event arrangement sent by Austin, but when he took out his phone, he saw that it was a message sent by Robert Pera.

"Do you know Quinn Snyder? He happened to coach in the DLS the year you played in the DLS. What can you tell me about him?"

Link looked at the screen of his phone, then looked at his teammates who were discussing it in full swing. It is estimated that the final candidate for the assistant coach will be beyond everyone's expectations.

Quinn Snyder? Link certainly knew him. But it was not that the Development League knew him, but because before Link came across, Snyder made a name for himself as the head coach.

Since Jerry Sloan voluntarily resigned in the middle of the 201011 season, the Jazz have only entered the playoffs in the 201112 season and stopped in the first round. The previous season when Snyder took over the Jazz, the team's record was only a bad 25 wins and 57 losses.

However, under Snyder's training, the Jazz quickly showed a thriving scene, with great improvements in their record every year, and eventually led the team to the playoffs without big-name stars.

Is Snyder the best coach in the league? He doesn't deserve the honor yet because he didn't do enough in the playoffs and hasn't established enough records yet.

However, everyone believes that Snyder is definitely one of the first-tier coaches in the league and he is definitely top-notch.

If such a person with the strength of a top head coach can really join the Grizzlies' coaching staff, Link believes that this is definitely a good thing without any harm.

Compared to Kidd, Link is looking forward to working with Snyder

※※※

When he first saw Snyder's photo, Pera only felt that he looked unique and looked like a bad person just by looking at his face.

However, after reading Snyder's resume, Pera found that this guy is not just as simple as a unique appearance.

In the 1989 draft, Snyder failed. He planned to play in the European League, but finally gave up. In the end, Snyder changed careers and became a coach, starting with coaching amateur teams.

In 1992, while studying for graduate school, Snyder was fortunate to become an assistant to the Clippers and the assistant to the famous coach Larry Brown.

In 1993, Snyder worked as an administrative assistant under Coach K, while also studying a master's degree in business administration and a doctorate in law. After obtaining a double degree in 1995, Snyder became a full-time assistant coach for Coach K. In 1997, Snyder was promoted to chief assistant coach.

While Snyder was an assistant coach, the Blue Devils reached the Naa Championship finals in 1994 and 1999 and reached the Elite Eight in 1998.

Under Larry Brown and K-Lady Snyder laid a solid foundation. So starting from 1999, Snyder finally became the head coach of the Missouri Tigers. During his tenure with the Tigers, Snyder led the team to the March Crazy Championship four times.

In 2007, Snyder began to try to get involved in the NBA. From 2007 to 2010, Snyder became the best coach in the Development League at the Austin Spurs.

From 10 to 12 years, Snyder served as assistant coach for the 76ers and the Lakers respectively. Last season, Snyder went to Europe and led the CSKA Moscow to the Champions League semi-finals as the head coach.

Judging from the requirements of an assistant coach, such a rich resume is more than enough.

The most important thing is that Robert Pera actually received a call from coach K in the morning, "If you hire him, you will get a coach full of desire for victory and motivation, and he will prove it to you."

This guy actually got the recommendation of Lao K, which surprised Pera very much. Although Snyder was a student of Lao K, he played under Lao K when he was a player, and he also studied with Lao K when he was a coach. However, Lao K would never risk his reputation being destroyed and rashly recommend Snyder to other teams.

After the Kwame Brown, which Jordan ordered, fell off, do you think there are still people who are optimistic about the rookies Jordan is optimistic about? The same is true for Lao K. If the person he recommends doesn't work, no one will believe him in the future.

Therefore, Snyder's ability is definitely extraordinary to let Lao K call himself.

So Pera sent a text message to ask Link, hoping to get more information about Snyder.

Link quickly replied to Pera, and the text message was simple, "In the Development League, he has always been the top coach, and I only know this."

To be honest, Link did not belittle Snyder, nor did he praise him wildly. Although he knew that Snyder would be an excellent coach in the future, Link didn't want to interfere too much in this matter. Sometimes, when the management makes decisions, players should not disturb them.

But now, after getting the affirmation from Lao K and Link, Pera is probably at a loss.
