NBA: I'm really just an ordinary coach

June 20, 2002.

This summer belongs to the people of Los Angeles, or more precisely, to the Los Angeles Lakers and the fans who love this team.

This summer, the Los Angeles Lakers completed their second three-peat in team history.

The people of Los Angeles reappeared the glory of the past and once again proved to the world that they are a well-deserved dynasty team.

Also, this summer, in Portland, not far from the Lakers, something happened that seemed insignificant, but had a significant impact on the future of the NBA and even the world.

Rose Garden Arena.

General Manager's Office

""Bob, let me introduce you to Tang from China. From today on, he will be the new head coach of the team."

After hearing the straightforward words of the team owner, one of the richest men in the world, Paul Allen, and looking at the overly young, yet angular oriental face standing next to Paul Allen, the team chairman and general manager Bob Wittster was startled.

Although he knew that his boss was not short of money and had absolute control over the team, since he took over the Portland Trail Blazers and Seattle Seahawks, the boss rarely intervened in the team's affairs.

Especially in a situation like today, it was the first time

""What? Do you have any questions?"

This obviously stern tone made Bob Wittest shudder. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly responded:"Oh, no, Mr. Allen, to be honest, I have been thinking about it recently, why the team has spent so much money and traded for so many stars, but always can't get any results. Meeting the damn

Lakers for three consecutive years is certainly a big reason, but the most important reason is that Morris can't completely unite our players and find a way to defeat the Lakers.

Otherwise, it will not be the current Los Angeles Lakers that will become the dynasty team, but us."

Hearing this, the young man standing next to Paul Allen showed a playful smile on his face.

Although the smile was fleeting, it was still clearly seen by Paul Allen, who had been secretly watching the young man.

"Dear Don, as I said before, this will be your team. If you have any ideas, or if you think there is something wrong, just speak up."

After a slight pause,

Paul Allen glanced at Bob Wittest and added,"You know, there is no need to worry about anything between you and me."

This was so obvious that it was almost as if you were saying it out loud. If you don't like him, just tell him to get out. Bob Wittest was shocked, and then he showed a flattering smile.

Although he has been the chairman and general manager of the Trail Blazers since 1994, and is also the chairman of the Seattle Seahawks, controlling the life and death of many players and even first-line stars, he is a big shot in the eyes of countless people, but he knows clearly that everything he has now is given by the man in front of him.

In his eyes, this man has always been supreme.

He is synonymous with wealth and one of the smartest people in the world.

If it weren't for physical reasons, this man might not be able to become a leader of this era, and even become one of the people who hold the right to speak in the future. Member.

However, it was such a person who admired a young man from the East so much, and even had a hint of flattery. How could he not be surprised?

Although he didn't know what happened between Mr. Paul and this young man, one thing was certain. If this young man expressed any dissatisfaction with him at this time, then he would not only lose his current identity and status, but might even disappear from this world.

Under Bob Witt's gaze, the young Oriental smiled and nodded at Paul Allen, and then said,"It is undeniable that in the past three years, the Trail Blazers have lost to the Lakers in the playoffs, and the Lakers have also won three consecutive championships in the first three years of this new century and established a dynasty again.

However, if you really say that the Trail Blazers can establish a dynasty by defeating the Lakers in these three playoff trips, I don't believe it.

In the 2000 Western Conference Finals, if the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers, they would most likely win the O'Brien Cup, which was also the closest time for the Trail Blazers to the championship. However, unfortunately, the Trail Blazers failed.

Going forward, in the next two years, the Trail Blazers have almost no chance.

The Mavericks led by Dirk, the Spurs led by Tim, and the Timberwolves led by Kevin are all stronger than the current Trail Blazers in overall strength, and they are younger and more energetic.

Of course, there is also the Kings led by Chris. They almost overturned the Lakers in this year's Western Conference Finals and blocked the Lakers from the finals.

To be frank, with the current state of the Trail Blazers, if they can win a game against the Kings in the series, it will be a victory."

When Tang Feng's voice fell, the smile on Bob Wittster's face was somewhat stiff.

As the chairman and general manager of the team, he built this lineup. Although the Trail Blazers have not yet succeeded in the pursuit of the championship, he firmly believes that it is only a matter of time for the Trail Blazers, who have the most luxurious lineup in the league, to win the O'Brien Cup.

Now, this young man is belittling the Trail Blazers in front of him without hesitation, which is tantamount to slapping him in the face.

If the other party had not been brought by Paul Allen, he would have slapped him twice.

Just when Bob Wittster was about to say something, Tang Feng's voice rang again.

"Witt���Mr. Te, I have no intention of arguing with you. This is just my personal opinion. The finals are over and the draft is imminent. I need you to do two things for me before you leave the Trail Blazers. The first is to fire the team's current head coach. The second is to help me make an appointment with someone. As far as I know, this person should be a scout for the Spurs, named Kevin Pritchard.

After doing these two things, you can lead the Seahawks to the championship wholeheartedly."

???

Am I going to be fired?!!

Bob Wittster looked at Tang Feng in a daze. After a moment of trance, a nameless fire rose from his heart.

At this moment, Paul Allen's voice rang out.

"Bob, do as Tang said. From now on, Tang has the final say on everything related to the Trail Blazers. At the same time, I hope you can focus all your energy on the Seahawks. Both Seattle and I are eager to get a Super Bowl championship trophy."

Bob Wittster was stunned.

Whether he is willing or not, everything is a foregone conclusion.

As a professional manager, Bob Wittster quickly adjusted his mentality and said in a deep voice:"As you wish, I will handle everything and lead the Seahawks to win the championship in the shortest time."

While speaking, his eyes swept across Tang Feng.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
