NBA: I'm really just an ordinary coach

At this time, although D'Antoni had proven his coaching ability in the European arena, he was only an assistant coach in the NBA. In the NBA, there are also differences in assistant coaches.

There are chief assistant coaches, offensive assistant coaches, defensive assistant coaches, shooting coaches, physical coaches, and so on.

Among them, the status of the chief assistant coach is undoubtedly the highest.

Many times, in the middle of the season, when the head coach of a team is dismissed, the chief assistant coach will temporarily coach the team.

At the same time, assistant coaches are also divided into team assistant coaches and head coach personal assistant coaches.

Famous coaches like Phil Jackson and Nelson have their own personal coaching teams.

When they go to a new team to coach, they will bring their own coaching team, so that they can ensure that they can establish the offensive and defensive system they are familiar with in the shortest time.

This is also one of the reasons why these famous coaches are so popular.

For D'Antoni, although Tang Feng also wanted to recruit these future famous coaches into his personal coaching team, he knew that this was unrealistic, and he could only choose to let D'Antoni become the team assistant coach as a second choice.

And the process was also very smooth.

When Tang Feng said that D'Antoni would be responsible for the establishment of the team's offensive system, and did not even mention the specific tactics, D'Antoni could not wait to agree.

For D'Antoni now, this is what he desires most.

Not long after D'Antoni left, the Blazers' official website announced two pieces of news in succession.

After careful consideration, Bob Wittster, the team's chairman and general manager, decided to resign from all his positions in the Blazers.

The team's head coach Maurice Cheeks was fired.

Although these two pieces of news were a bit sudden, they were also expected by many people and did not cause much sensation.

And just an hour later, two pieces of news were announced again, which exploded the NBA after the initial silence.

These two pieces of news are naturally the news of Kevin Pritchard and Tang Feng's appointment.

Kevin Pritchard, who was just a scout of the Spurs, suddenly became the new general manager of the Blazers. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a step to heaven.

This situation is enough to make countless people with dreams amazed and envious.

That's fine.

At least, people in the circle still know Pritchard's background.

They knew nothing about Tang Feng. As for this oriental name, they couldn't tell anything. After all, with the development of the times, there were many oriental names in various places on this planet. While the outside world was discussing this, Pritchard came to Tang Feng's office again.

"Tang, WOJ called me and asked about you. You know, he is not an ordinary reporter. He is very capable and has certain connections in this circle. If possible, I would like to make friends with him through this matter, so that it will be convenient for my next work."The first time he walked into the office, Pritchard walked quickly towards Tang Feng and said urgently.

Tang Feng knew very little about the reporters in the United States, but he had heard of WOJ's name.

In China, fans call WOJ Woj.

To some extent, Woj is the number one paparazzi in the NBA circle.

Once, an NBA general manager said this:"I just signed a player, and before I had time to notify my colleagues outside the door, I heard them cheering outside the office. Because they saw the tweet that WOJ just posted."

Perhaps there is an exaggeration in it, but it also shows Woj's ability.

"Okay, no problem, you can tell him my age and nationality, 23 years old, Chinese, I think this information is enough for you to win his friendship."

Being on good terms with Woj is indeed a good thing for Pritchard now.

After all, Pritchard's transition from a scout to a general manager is too big, and connections are also very important for general managers of various teams.

"OK, Tang, that's enough. Don't worry, I have experience dealing with reporters, and I know what to say and what not to say."

After Pritchard finished speaking, he hurried out of the office....

The next day.

The development of the Internet is far from reaching the heights of later generations. In this era, although newspapers have suffered a certain impact, they are still the mainstream.

Woj, who got the news, naturally did not sit idle and wrote a column.

The youngest head coach in NBA history is from China!

This title alone is very eye-catching, and it is enough to make many people stop and buy a magazine during the off-season when NBA magazine sales are depressed.

It was also on this day that ESPN's sports magazines sold like crazy across the United States, and Tang Feng's name, just like this, entered the eyes of the world for the first time, and left a deep impression on countless people.

Going forward, the discussion about Tang Feng and the Trail Blazers is no longer limited to the basketball circle, but has expanded to the entire sports circle, and even other circles.

Of course, most of the discussions are not very friendly, and are even very aggressive.

Especially the local fanatical fans in Portland.

Although the Blazers' performance in the past two years has been far from their expectations, and they have gradually lost patience with the"Portland Prison Team", they are still full of confidence in the Blazers' future. They also firmly believe that with a boss like Paul Allen who loves the team, is capable and willing to work for it, it is only a matter of time before they win the O'Brien Cup.

They also fantasize that the team can make a big move in the offseason.

However, the imagined team lineup has not been upgraded, but the management and head coach have been replaced.

If it were a capable general manager and head coach, it would be fine, but who would have thought that the team's new general manager is just a scout of the Spurs, and the team's head coach is even more outrageous, he is actually a young Oriental.

This is simply a joke.

Even if they decide to tear down and rebuild, or even to compete for next year's No. 1 pick by playing badly, there is no need to replace the general manager and head coach with these two people.

More and more fans gathered in the square outside the Rose Garden Arena.

Various dirty words were intertwined.

Among them, the biggest spearhead was undoubtedly directed at Tang Feng.

Soon, the incident alarmed the Portland police, and it can be said that they had to take action.

This large-scale gathering and demonstration first attracted the local media.

When all kinds of racial discrimination were intertwined, what the local police had to do was to stop the spread of the disorder as quickly as possible.

There are some things that everyone knows, but if they are said out loud, especially in such a large-scale gathering, and in front of many media, it will not work.

If it continues, it may even cause a commotion throughout the meter.

Of course, it is just a commotion.

However, it would be best if there was no such commotion.
