Chapter 13 Get the Best Coach

Compared with these big names, the Warriors' management actually likes a coach - D'Antoni. He was the head coach of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA league. He has worked for this team since 2003. He won the honor of the best coach of the NBA in the 2004-05 season, led the team to a regular season record of 62 wins and 20 losses and reached the Western Conference finals. Later, he coached the Knicks' head coach, but it was not very successful. Jackson, who once won the eleventh championship with rigorous triangular offensive tactics, believes that DeDeAntoni's running and shooting ability also has the ability to win the championship, although the Phoenix Suns, who he once coached, has never entered.

The finals. However, for fans and commentators, although D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics will bring a gorgeous and smooth offense to the team and have strong destructive power on the court, his neglect of defense makes it difficult for the team he coaches to go further in the playoffs. However, isn't the Warriors such a nearly perfect bombing team? Don't forget that this Warriors is a typical Nelson team. Old Nelson and D'Antoni are both coaches famous for bombing offenses. Although their playing styles are slightly different, D'Antoni's bombing emphasizes the role of organizing guards more than Old Nelson's bombing. So the Suns' game is a gorgeous generation

Noun, rarely barely attack, and find a suitable opportunity to go out through reasonable passes. Because of this, D'Antoni achieved two MVP Nash. Nelson emphasized more about the limit of speed and weakened the role of organizational guards. He emphasized crazy running and finding the most suitable shooting opportunity under the running of all players. For coaches, this difference seems to be negligible. If D'Antoni coached, wouldn't the Warriors' offense not change much? At the same time, don't forget that even if the Warriors do not have a strict organizational guard, their players have never lacked organizational ability.

Strength, Keynes' passing vision and organizational talent have definitely not been fully released, because the Warriors have emphasized too much speed and Lin Fei's offense, so they cannot be displayed at all. At the same time, the Warriors also have Lin Fei, a point guard who is born with amazing speed. In many cases, Lin Fei has proved that he is fully capable of converting his speed into assists. Stephen Curry, although he is also a point guard who is good at shooting, don't forget that his control over the Warriors team is not weaker than anyone else. Faced with such a lineup, D'Antoni will definitely be tempted, just look at how the Warriors' management does it.

In fact, when Nelson announced his retirement this season, D'Antoni had already started to prepare. Of course, this preparation does not mean that he coveted the head coaching position of the Warriors, but he has begun to study what kind of concept Nelson's tactics are. He heard from some friends that many of the things that Old Nelson's were almost learned from Eastern culture. What Tai Chi Bagua and Five Elements is definitely a mess for D'Antoni. Perhaps what he can do is to understand Nelson's tactics and offensive routines in his own way.

Faced with such scandals, the Warriors players will not remain indifferent. Although they dare not discuss it publicly, they are active in private.

"Hi! Lin Fei, do you know? Our head coach is D'Antoni, do you know? It's D'Antoni of the Suns, the head coach who lets Nash get MVP..."

The news was getting more and more spread. For a moment, D'Antoni seemed to have some expectations, and almost all fans also hoped that the Warriors could maintain their gorgeousness and win the championship in a way that belongs to the Warriors. This city hates ugly defense.

The Warriors management seemed to be unable to get out of the market all at once. They did have contact with D'Antoni. Obviously, the Warriors are a stingy team. Faced with Lin Fei's clear statement, they almost gave it a try and renewed the contract with Keynes and Jobs. Curry's contract will be settled soon, which made the Warriors exceed the luxury tax. At this moment, they became surprisingly stingy again for the head coach's choice. The price they offered to D'Antoni was actually a 4-year contract of 8 million. This is obviously a bit low for a head coach who has won the best coach.

.But in fact, the Warriors management has a clear mind. The real temptation for D'Antoni is not the price the Warriors can offer, but a lineup like the Warriors. Some people even joke that even if the contract price offered by the Warriors is zero, many head coaches will be moved, because it seems that it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Warriors will win the championship next season. Who can not be moved? Moreover, even if the Warriors cannot win the championship, according to their current configuration, they can achieve a record of nearly 70 wins. For a head coach, their value will also skyrocket.

Both sides are still weighing the trade-offs.

The Warriors felt it was necessary to discuss it with Lin Fei, and Lin Fei also felt that it might be necessary to discuss it with his mentor, Old Nelson.

"You don't exist because of any tactics." Nelson's suggestion to Lin Fei was very simple.

"My opinion is not of any reference." Lin Fei's suggestions to the Warriors management are also very simple.

What followed was a press conference.

The slogans posted by almost all sports media on the next day were "continuous madness". Everyone seemed to be quite expecting the combination of D'Antoni and the Warriors. But some people also sneered, "Whether the Warriors made D'Antoni the second Nelson, or D'Antoni made Lin Fei the second Nash, the final result may be the same, there is no championship." Such comments are vicious enough. But the Warriors have come to this point, are they still afraid that others will say it?

I will definitely take back what I lost. The moment the Warriors decided to sign D'Antoni, Lin Fei also said to himself secretly.
