Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 486 The New Coach
"Scottie, I remember in the summer, West said that when laying up under the basket, the outside hand should rotate outward, right?"

"That's right, the outside hand rotates outward, and the inside hand rotates inward! And when looking for a rebound, pay attention to 20cm away from the sideline!"

Seeing that the game is about to officially start, it is time for warm-up. Pippen and Grant are standing under the basket holding a basketball to discuss some shooting details.

On the other hand, Jordan was holding the ball alone, standing not far from the two of them, and seemed to be concentrating on practicing shooting, but his eyes and ears shot towards the two of them from time to time.

"West! It's West again!" Jordan repeated secretly in his heart, and under his anger, he couldn't help but hit the iron again.

Ever since the two came back from the training camp in the summer, no matter during training or in daily life, as long as they discussed basketball, they almost always mentioned West's name. I don't know, I thought they were West's people!
What are you kidding?Could it be that everything he West said is right?West asked you to eat lettuce all day, but you didn't see you eating it every day!

A pair of mouths!
Of course, it is impossible for him, Jordan, to be angry with Pippen and Grant because of such a trivial matter, and to blame Li Weisi.

Although this is the third season of the two, they have just come off as rookies, but they have grown very rapidly, and now they have already become Jordan's indispensable right-hand man, and it can even be said that the team is second only to Jordan. Two or three masters.

Up to this point, even Jordan had to admit that he had misjudged him at the beginning, and that Klaus had been fooled. These two were indeed good players.

But because I was too strict with them during their rookie period, even though the two had worked with me for two years, they couldn't get close to each other emotionally, and there was always a layer of separation between them.

Originally, Jordan didn't have any thoughts about this, which is normal, everyone is a colleague, and you can't ask everyone to treat their temper like Charles Oakley.

But since I went to West's training camp once, what's going on?The two of them are so close to Li Weisi, making themselves look like outsiders?

What does this mean?Am I worse than Wester?

Thinking of this, Jordan, who was unbalanced in his heart, threw the ball passed to him by Fleger again, and hit it hard!
Soon, the warm-up exercise was over, and Phil Jackson called the Bulls together, preparing to feed the players another bite of chicken soup before the game started.

This summer, the Bulls management, mainly general manager Jerry Krause, announced the dismissal of head coach Doug Collins, and the new head coach is the team's assistant coach Phil Jackson.

As soon as this decision was announced, fans throughout Chicago were boiling.

Although Collins only coached the Bulls for three years, in these three years, the Bulls have grown steadily step by step, and even led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 15 years last season.

Logically speaking, for such a coach, even if the team doesn't hold him in their hands, at least they have to treat him respectfully, right?
But Klaus was lucky and fired him backhanded.

However, in stark contrast to the fans, the local media was not very surprised by this, because the conflict between Collins and Klaus was no secret at this time.

In order to know which players the Bulls should sign, Collins had frequently clashed with Klaus before. Collins also spoke to Bulls owner Reinsdorf behind Klaus's back, hoping to fire the general manager who brought him into the Bulls. Manager Klaus.

But Reinsdorf obviously sided with Klaus. In fact, Reinsdorf didn't have a good impression of Collins, and he was hired because of Klaus' recommendation.

Therefore, after a lot of grabbing power, Collins was undoubtedly the loser and was kicked out of the Bulls.

As a beneficiary of the whole incident, Jackson is in charge of the coaching seal, but he can convince the management and convince the players. There are undoubtedly two brushes!
However, since the start of the game, the record of the Bulls has not been very good. Because the new coach has implemented the triangle offense in the team, the entire team is still in the transition period and has lost many games that should not be lost. Weak teams like the Nets and Clippers.

However, tonight, Jordan didn't want to lose. He wanted to prove himself in front of his teammates who "eat inside and out", and prove that his teammates are all blind monks!Bai grew those eyes.

"Very good, I am very pleased to see everyone's morale is high, but I don't think everyone will take it lightly? Regarding the strength of the Warriors, I think everyone knows well that if we want to defeat the opponent, we must first be ourselves! Hit every ball well! Do you understand what I mean, Michael?" Jackson, who was originally cheering everyone up, suddenly brought the topic to Jordan.

"What?" Jordan froze for a moment.

"I know you want to win tonight, but I still hope you can overcome your inner desire to win. This is just a regular season. If we don't win the championship at the end of the season, even if we win this game, it won't prove it. What, don't forget, that fellow West has a champion!"

It has to be said that the most important reason why Jackson was able to succeed Collins as the head coach is that he knows how to behave and has a good relationship with anyone.

And in order to persuade Jordan not to be impulsive, he will not forcefully ask Jordan. After all, everyone knows that this guy is a donkey and needs to follow his words.

That's why Jackson took such a big circle to convince Jordan, and he obviously understood Jordan's mentality, regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a pool, and valued the ultimate ultimate goal. What could prove his success better than the championship Woolen cloth?
Sure enough, after listening to Jackson's words, Jordan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

"Very good! Then, let's discuss it again..." Seeing that Jordan agreed, Jackson felt relieved. Although Jordan had many bad habits, as long as it was something he promised, he rarely regretted it.

Although Jackson is the first time to be in charge of an NBA team, he doesn't want to be as calm as the surface. He leads this talented team and uses the triangle tactics he admires to win the final victory. What could be more satisfying than that?

Soon, after the final mobilization, players from both sides officially debuted.

Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, Jordan and Li Weisi came to the field together. Naturally, the fans at the scene were to welcome Li Weisi who returned from injury.

Looking at Li Weisi who was calm and looking around, Jordan came to him and said, "Are you ready to lose tonight?"

"Imagination is a very good quality, but for a basketball player, too much imagination is not very suitable, because it will make the player's judgment go wrong." Li Weisi didn't feel annoyed at Jordan's trash talk, but just calmed down. replied.

"I hope the game is over, you can still be so indifferent!" Jordan said not to be outdone.
