NBA: I'm really just an ordinary coach

Toronto.

After convincing Thibodeau, Tang Feng did not stay in New York any longer, but took a plane to Toronto.

Night fell quietly.

In a private room of a restaurant in Toronto

"Mr. Curry, if you have decided to retire, I would like to invite you to join the Trail Blazers as an assistant coach for the team. If you still want to continue playing, I hope the Trail Blazers can be the last stop of your career. My team needs a player like you who is experienced and proficient in shooting."Looking at the man in front of him, Tang Feng invited sincerely.

Like Thibodeau, the man in front of him is also one of the targets of Tang Feng's trip.

Dell Curry.

If Dell Curry, who won the best sixth man award when he was a player, was famous in the NBA for his accurate three-pointers, then in the future, his name will be known all over the world along with the name of the most powerful shooter in NBA history.

In the history of the NBA, there are also many second-generation players, and even in the future, there is a high probability that father and son will appear.���The situation of Taiwan competition, however, there are only a few cases where the disciple is better than the master.

Especially the situation like what happened to Dell Curry is unique.

Tang Feng wants to recruit Dell Curry this time, in fact, not entirely because of Dell Curry.

Dell Curry is indeed an experienced pitcher, and his ability to guide others is also unquestionable. His two sons are the best examples.

However, in the NBA, there are many shooting coaches, and it is not necessary to have Dell Curry.

Among them, Tang Feng is also selfish.

For many years to come, he will make a living in the NBA.

It will also help him win more championships in the future to make a good relationship with players like Stephen Curry in advance, right?

As for whether the process of winning the championship will be too easy, Tang Feng will not consider these at all.

The process is indeed important, but in competitive sports, the most important thing is the result.

Under the premise of only one championship, even if it is the second place, in the final analysis, what is the difference between it and the last place, they are all losers.

The so-called process is just a self-consolation word for losers.

Enjoying the process belongs to the winners

"Tang, I am very happy to receive your invitation, but your invitation is too sudden, and I can't give you a definite answer at the moment. Dell Curry said politely

"Understand, I'll wait for your news."Tang Feng said with a smile:"I feel it is necessary to tell you again that the current Trail Blazers are no longer the Trail Blazers you know, and the so-called 'Portland Prison Team' will become a thing of the past.

In this offseason, the Trail Blazers will be completely rebuilt, and the team will definitely have a brand new look.

Even those All-Star players, or the so-called rising stars who can become the future pillars of the team, as long as they will have a negative impact on the team, then they will not appear in the Trail Blazers' reconstruction plan.

All problem players, especially those who are in trouble off the court, will leave the Trail Blazers in various ways.

At the same time, I also need to let you know that my invitation to you is from the heart.

In terms of your future and your family, the team will give you the greatest help within its ability."

Listening to Tang Feng's words, Dell Curry's polite smile disappeared, replaced by a touch of gratitude and a little hesitation.

This change in expression naturally fell into Tang Feng's eyes.

Tang Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his words had played a certain role after all, making this veteran who had fought in the league for 16 years and was about to retire moved.

However, just this is far from enough.

"Mr. Curry, as far as I know, you have two sons who are quite talented in basketball, and you are also interested in training them to become professional players.

If you agree to become a part of the Trail Blazers, I can promise you that everything in the Rose Garden will be open to them.

As long as you are willing, the team can help you rent an apartment near the stadium, so that you can also use the team's stadium and other measures in your spare time to help your two sons grow up.

These are just what I can think of.

After all, I am just single now, I don’t have my own children, and I don’t have any experience in raising children.

If you think what I said is inappropriate, or if there is anything you need to add, just speak up.

Everything I said has only one purpose, that is, to make you feel my sincerity and do my best to make you a part of the Trail Blazers."

Hearing these words from Tang Feng, Dell Curry's face was inevitably moved.

He had been working in this league for 16 years and had seen too many people of all kinds. However, it was the first time that Tang Feng spared no effort to persuade him to join the first time they met.

Even in his peak period, after the season when he won the best sixth man, he did not receive such treatment.

Tang Feng gave him the feeling that without him, the reconstruction of the Trail Blazers could not proceed.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Dell Curry stared at Tang Feng and asked in a deep voice:"Does it have to be me?"

Hearing this, Tang Feng was slightly startled, then smiled and said:"Of course not, this world will continue to turn the same no matter who leaves, but for now, you are my best choice as a shooting coach.

Superb shooting skills and rich court experience are what the Trail Blazers urgently need now, and in you, these two are perfectly combined.

Of course, the most important thing is that those famous shooting coaches, I am afraid, will not accept the invitation of a fledgling boy like me, right?"

Hearing Tang Feng's self-deprecating words, Dell Curry's eyes narrowed.

After a brief gaze, Dell Curry shook his head and said with a smile:"Tang, to be honest, just this morning, when I saw the news about the Trail Blazers' coaching change in the newspaper, I even swore and thought the Trail Blazers were crazy.

But at this moment, I have a feeling that I seem a little reckless.

The Trail Blazers chose you to be the head coach, perhaps because they saw some possibility in you.

Yes, that's right, it's a possibility. The fact that you can rush to Toronto from faraway Portland and invite me, an old guy who has decided to retire, shows that you have your own ideas."

"Mr. Curry, I am honored to hear your compliments."Tang Feng said with a smile:"It would be perfect if there was no twist after your compliments."

Hearing this, Dell Curry was stunned for a while, then he smiled dumbly and said:"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I will disappoint you.

I am not that kind of top star, nor am I an indispensable part of the team. I am just a role player. In my career, I have been traded several times.

Maybe you don't know that behind each trade, the most painful thing for me is not that I was traded, but that my family will be moved away from the familiar environment and moved to a strange city with my trade.

My wife and my children have to adapt to the new environment because of me.

This is not what I want, nor what they want, but this is life, this is reality, damn reality.

When I decided to retire, although I was a little reluctant, I was more relieved and fortunate.

I can finally do more for my family instead of letting them sacrifice and pay for me.

Whenever I think of this, I am very excited.

Tang, do you understand?

This is an unprecedented feeling. I am excited and excited about the new journey of my life. I can't wait to return to my family and start such a new journey!"

Just when Tang Feng was about to say something, Dell Curry's obviously high-pitched voice sounded again.

"No, you don't understand. You are not even married yet, so how can you understand my feelings at this moment!"

Hearing this, Tang Feng smiled bitterly and said,"I really don't understand, but it is my honor to witness your life entering a new chapter. Let's have a drink to this."

"Of course, cheers."Dell Curry laughed and picked up his glass, clinked it with Tang Feng's, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Tang Feng was no exception.

After the glass of wine

, for Tang Feng, who used to only drink white wine, there are only two words to describe it, bland.

Picking up the bottle on the table and pouring wine into Dell Curry's glass, Tang Feng continued:"Opening a new chapter in life does not mean that you have to completely leave the industry you love. If you can achieve both career and family, wouldn't it be better?

I think this should be what countless people dream of, and now, such an opportunity is in front of you, isn't it?"

"Yes, of course. Dell Curry smiled and nodded.

However, Dell Curry did not���Instead of agreeing to Tang Feng directly, he thought for a while and said,"To be honest, what you said is very tempting to me, but I need to discuss it with my family before making a decision. When I decide to retire, I will be with them. I will tell them that from now on, they are everything to me. I will never let them accommodate me again. I will do my best to love them."

Hearing this, Tang Feng sighed secretly.

Perhaps Dell Curry didn't know at this time that one day in the future, when he and his wife sat on the sidelines watching their son's game, the people sitting next to them who could be close to each other were no longer each other.

"Well, this is your right, and it is also their right. They also have the right to choose the life they want."Tang Feng nodded and said,"Cold Toronto is not suitable for you, and after you retire, you will also face the situation of choosing a new living environment. I hope that when you make a choice, you can think of Portland.

There may not be the best colleges in Portland, but I guarantee that here, there is the most suitable soil for Stephen and Seth to grow, and of course, there is the lovely Sidell."

"At this point, I have to say that you are a winner in life.

Do you know that in faraway China, having both sons and daughters is such an enviable thing?"

"Really? There is such a saying?" Seth Curry's eyes lit up.

"certainly...."...

No matter where you are, alcohol can quickly bring two people closer together, especially when one party���This is especially true when they have a purpose.

When Tang Feng and Dell Curry walked out of the hotel, they were already arm in arm, calling each other brothers.

"My dear brother, don't worry, I will prepare everything in the shortest time, go to Portland and kill everyone!"

Dell Curry, who was sitting in the back seat of the slowly moving car, shouted to Tang Feng outside the window in a very sincere tone.

Tang Feng smiled and waved, shouting:"My brother, I'm waiting for you in Portland!"

Looking at the car going away and Dell Curry who was lying on the car window and shaking violently, Tang Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a smile.

The breeze blew by.

A feeling of dizziness came over him.

Tang Feng shook his head, turned around, and walked towards the hotel.

"Red wine is a thing that makes you drunk if you drink too much."

"However, the wine was worth it. Dell Curry obviously wanted to come. In addition to what he said just now and all the conveniences that the Trail Blazers can provide them, Dell Curry will definitely do his best to convince his family tomorrow.

As long as they come, everything will be fine.

Having a good relationship with the young Curry can also be regarded as an additional guarantee for your future. Having multiple ways out is not wrong after all."

In the night sky of Toronto, Tang Feng's bitter muttering to himself dissipated in the breeze.
