Evacuated

The Warriors are recruiting, and the movement seems to be not small.

At the end of July and the beginning of August, the intersection of the NBA's free market appeared on several active teams such as the Golden State Warriors.

In addition to the Warriors, teams such as the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Knicks are more active.

In addition to signing with Blaylock, the Warriors also completed signings with some other free agents, and the lineup gradually stabilized.

Daben signed a two-year $2 million contract with the Wizards before, so there is no issue of contract renewal this year. By the end of this season, that is, after his fourth season, there will be an issue of contract renewal.

At present, the market value of Daben in the football market is about 300 million U.S. dollars. If the contract can be renewed, a middle-level contract will definitely not be able to escape.

Warriors summer only on Dampier's trade issues and the hiring of the team's new coach.

Since the dismissal of Carlesimo, the issue of the Warriors' new coach has been pending. There are some rumors that several coaches may come to the Warriors to coach, but there has been no definite information.

Until August, it has been more than a month since Carlesimo's dismissal.

Under normal circumstances, the team's summer operations are always discussed with the team's head coach. In the current situation of the Warriors, there is no head coach, and the direct assistant coach and the team's general manager are in charge.

So many fans have reason to believe that Rowell, who is a dog day, wants to be the head coach himself?

There is no such example in the league, Larry Bird, Pat Riley, Popovich, but these guys are all famous coaches, and Rowell looks more like a layman who knows a little more than a layman.

Anyway, the fans have already made up their minds. If Rowell is in charge, then they will resolutely let Rowell get out of class. Don't let this guy poison the team.

Here, the head coach of the Warriors has not yet been determined, and the Lakers took the lead in announcing the head coach for the new season.

After another failed season without winning the championship, the Lakers learned from the pain and began to look for the top coaches that could be found in the market.

Phil Jackson.

This man who achieved golden stature in the Bulls has entered the scope of the Lakers' investigation and competition.

After Phil Jackson disintegrated from the Bulls, he rested for a season. He has been in a state of leisure at home. It is not only the Lakers who have offered him an olive branch.

Teams like him almost always have teams approaching him.

Before Phil Jackson decided to join the Lakers, he also received a solicitation from the Warriors.

The Warriors are also very straightforward, hoping that Phil Jackson will become the head coach of the team, with an annual salary of around 3000 million for five years, which is definitely the top annual salary of the NBA's head coach, full of sincerity.

But Phil Jackson hesitated, the Lakers and Warriors, he carefully considered.

To the Lakers, O'Neal and Kobe were coached, and to the Warriors, Qin Fei was coached.

Phil Jackson is very familiar with Qin Fei.

The Bulls' second three-peat championship fell to Qin Fei. Phil Jackson can almost conclude that without Qin Fei, even if the Sonics reached the finals, facing the Bulls in that state, they still could not escape the fate of failure.

But they have Qin Fei, a wing who has entered the top ranks of the league on the defensive end, and it happens to be the absolute strength of the Bulls.

Jordan's super god returned to super god, but the Bulls' system was split and hurt.

So, in fact, Phil Jackson, like Bob Withey, thinks that Qin Fei's damage to the Bulls is actually higher, and even thinks that the MVP of the finals should be awarded to Qin Fei.

Therefore, Phil Jackson is very interested in coaching Qin Fei. In his eyes, if he can beat Jordan, this young man really has a bright future.

But the Warriors' bright lineup is too bad, and it seems that they are not in the same heavyweight class as the Lakers.

The Lakers have O'Neal, Kobe, Glenn Rice and other star players, including Fisher, Campbell, Fox and other giants on the bench. The lineup is strong, and what is lacking is just a little accelerator.

And he is the man who can provide the accelerator for the Lakers.

Phil Jackson finally rejected Rowell and the possibility of coaching Qin Fei, and agreed to the Lakers' five-year $5 million head coach contract.

The reason why this contract was signed for 5 years is because after 5 years, Kobe's contract expires, and O'Neal's contract is about to expire.

"So Phil Jackson did not choose the Warriors. Next, Coach Rick has agreed to our request, but before the official signing, he hopes to call you once and have a good chat."

The candidate head coach made this request to Qin Fei, and Qin Fei readily accepted it.

Qin Fei said to Lowell on the phone: "After all, it is the head coach. It is not very respectful to call. I will go back to the Bay Area now. Where is he, I can talk to him directly."

"He's in New York, you can go directly to New York to find him."

Rowell sighed in his heart, Qin Fei is good at this point, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, he sorted out clearly, from this point of view, he has fully possessed the quality and EQ of being the head player of the team.

Qin Fei bought a plane ticket to New York that afternoon.

The friends who were traveling with him continued to stay in Panama for vacation, because Qin Fei said that he would come back, and the original plan for this vacation remained unchanged.

One day later, New York.

Qin Fei and Pelinka who accompanied him came to the address provided by Rowell.

This is a single-family house. In a place where every inch of land is expensive in New York, it can also show that the owner is above the income level of the middle class.

There are two oak trees planted at the entrance of the house, the crowns of which are luxuriant, and a little sunlight penetrates the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow.

Afterwards, Pelinka made contact under Qin Fei's signal.

There was a panic on the other end of the phone, obviously not expecting an unexpected visitor.

When the door opened, the white man in blue short sleeves still had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Hi, Coach Rick Carlisle."

Qin Fei stretched out his hand with a smile, and smiled kindly at the head coach who was not very familiar with him before.

In Rick Carlisle's residence, his wife was busy preparing coffee and other drinks for the unexpected guests who came to visit.

Qin Fei sat in front of Carlisle, with a trace of fatigue visible on his expression.

"Rowell said you were on vacation, what are you doing?"

As soon as Carlisle finished speaking, Rob Pelinka on the side helped Qin Fei explain.

"Qin Fei came here on purpose. He was still in Panama yesterday and booked the latest flight back to New York just to see you."

"Rob!"

Qin Fei interrupted Pelinka properly, and Pelinka understood it, and immediately shut up.

But after Carlisle heard it, he was greatly moved.

He probably didn't understand what it means to "a scholar dies for his confidant", but there was a warm current flowing in his heart, a warm current called "need".

"In fact, I also asked Coach PJ before, and we have a very good colleague relationship with Coach PJ."

Qin Fei narrated some things lightly there: "Coach PJ Carlesimo's resignation is a frustrating thing that we don't want to see, but it just happened, and everyone was caught off guard. Before coach Carlesimo left the Bay Area, he recommended you to me as a colleague. He was full of praise for your coaching level and tactical philosophy, and thought you would be a very good head coach."

"So this is not only an opportunity for the Warriors, but also an opportunity for me, Qin Fei, so I think it is very necessary for me to come to New York to see you."

When Carlesimo was the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Rick Carlisle was his assistant coach.

Before the Trail Blazers served as an assistant coach for three years, Carlisle also served as an assistant coach for the Nets for five years. At this time, Carlisle has already become famous, and his offensive tactics are at a high level, which can be called the forefront of the league today.

By 1997, Carlisle was already looking for the possibility of becoming a head coach for himself. At that time, the head coach of the Pacers, Larry Bird, strongly invited Carlisle to join the team as an assistant coach. In addition, Danny Angie of the Suns also strongly invited Carlisle to be his assistant.

Carlisle eventually chose to become the head coach of the Pacers, and Bird also found his second assistant, Dick Hart.

Dick Hart is also Carlisle's colleague in the Trail Blazers. In the past two years of the Pacers, three people have formed the main tactical structure of the Pacers. Carlisle is in charge of offense, and Hart is in charge of defense, with a clear division of labor.

Carlisle is a very professional offensive analyst.He made a whole record book and sorted out all the statistics of all the outstanding shooters in the NBA. For example, he would list that a certain shooter's shooting percentage on the baseline was only 28% on average, but his shooting percentage in the middle zone was as high as 35%.Just trying to force him into the corner, stuff like that.

Bird likes the coaching staff's cooperative and non-questioning working model very much.He let everyone speak freely and maximize everyone's subjective initiative, so the Pacers have formed a unique coaching scene in the league-in many cases, assistant coaches assign offensive tactics to players.

And the players have become accustomed to it, so during this period, although Carlisle, who has just turned 40 years old, is already a very good coach, there are not a few teams that have hired him as the head coach.

"I'm really touched that you can come to New York specially once. I never thought you would come to New York." Carlisle expressed his gratitude to Qin Fei, which is a feeling of "being needed".

Qin Fei said with a smile: "I am very familiar with this place in New York. It was here when I played basketball for the first time."

"I've also heard of this. In New York, Andrew Norton, a special basketball reporter for the New York Post, has written some basketball stories about you in New York before. I don't know if you have heard of this reporter. He claims to have known you in high school."

The more Carlisle said, the more outrageous it became. Qin Fei sounded like some swindler, right?

High school?

It was when he was graduating from high school that he cheated. He played basketball in high school!

So Qin Fei is 100% sure that this special basketball reporter for the Post is a liar.

But it's not easy for him to say this kind of thing openly. He can't say that he hasn't played basketball before.

Qin Fei asked suddenly: "Coach Rick, will you be the head coach of our Warriors?"

The air seemed to suddenly quiet down. The coffee that Carlisle's wife had prepared with great fanfare was carefully placed in front of Qin Fei and Pelinka.

After Qin Fei took it, he thanked him.

Carlisle's silence made Pelinka a little dissatisfied. This guy is too arrogant. No wonder Rowell said before that he might not be willing to coach the Warriors.

Qin Fei took great pains to stage the "First Visit to the Thatched Cottage" this time.

Carlisle originally only wanted to have a phone call with Qin Fei, express his opinion casually, and then join the Warriors and become the head coach logically.

Now that Qin Fei has come all the way, it's not easy for him to expose it lightly.

Carlisle gritted his teeth, then nodded and said, "Of course, why not?"

"At the same time, I am also planning to invite my colleague Dick Hart to the Warriors."

Carlisle didn't plan to take Hart away. Hart had left a deep impression on the Pacers players during his two years in the Pacers. The status of the team was gradually established and he got used to life in Indiana.

And once they leave, the Indiana Pacers will really become an empty shell, leaving only the head coach Larry Bird.

Qin Fei was overjoyed, and naturally he had heard of Hart's name.

If he knew that Carlisle was so entangled in his heart, he would definitely laugh out loud.

The Pacers are not short of this top assistant coach, what about Jermaine O'Neal, Artest, a group of champions on the road to the championship in the future, and now they all go to the Warriors

"The teaching assistant team is completely built according to what you want, the coach. In this regard, we will not give any pointers."

Qin Fei assured Carlisle.

Carlisle was so solemn that he didn't notice that Pelinka curled his lips.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. If you have any good suggestions, you can provide them for reference!"

Carlisle grumbled.

"No, no, I really don't know a few assistant coaches, so I don't have anything to recommend."

Qin Fei waved his hand.

Carlisle nodded, just about to say yes.

Qin Fei immediately spoke again: "In fact, I just think that coaches like Steve Kerr, Dwayne Casey, Budenholzer, Tom Thibodeau, etc. can be used as future support for the team."

Carlisle:

Two days later, the Warriors officially announced.

The team signed a contract with Pacers assistant coach Rick Carlisle, and Rick Carlisle will serve as the head coach of the Warriors in the new season.

As soon as Carlisle's identity as head coach was announced, Warriors fans naturally expressed their support.

In fact, most of the fans have not heard of this name. They only know that this coach is very young and his playing time is relatively short. He has been an assistant coach for eight years.

Carlisle is not the first "novice coach" to become a regular this year.

In addition to Carlisle, the Magic also hired "novice coach" Doc Rivers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers hired Randy Whitman.

According to the "San Francisco Chronicle" broke the news, the Warriors and Coach Carlisle reached a four-year $4 million coaching contract.

Although this contract is not as big as Phil Jackson's contract, it is considered good in the entire NBA category.

The 4-year time point is also very clever, because four years later, that is, the end of the 02-03 season, Qin Fei has the opportunity to jump out of the contract and become a free agent.

According to the "Los Angeles Times", Carlisle not only came to the Warriors from the Pacers as the head coach, but also abducted another "famous assistant" Dick Hart of the Pacers.

This action really made the fans of the Indiana team feel sad. The Indiana team's coaching staff was broken up at once and had to be reorganized. The Pacers will inevitably be affected if they hit the championship again.

Carlisle was interviewed by the San Francisco Post.

Carlisle praised Qin Fei wildly.

"He is a very good leader. He has the ability to lead the team to continuous victories. We have witnessed his growth in the past period of time."

"Last year, Qin Fei averaged 29.8 points per game in the Warriors, already at the level of the league's scoring leader. In my hands, his offensive talent will be further amplified. I even hope that he can take more than 20 shots in a game."

"Of course, this is not a fixed measurement algorithm, but the Warriors do need stronger offensive firepower, which is why I came to the Warriors. We will blow up an offensive storm."

"The talent of the Warriors is so good that no one can refuse to coach such a team. This is an opportunity for the Warriors and an opportunity for me."

As soon as the report came out, Indiana fans became even more upset.

Rick can really lick!Why didn't I find out before

Still attacking the Storm, where did the offense go when they played against the Knicks last year?

Certain relationships, when lost, become shallow and indifferent.

Fans don't have to target Carlisle, either.

Carlyle is really deceiving people too much.

Speaking of

It seems that the coach made the first move!

Why don't you leave an assistant coach for your home team?
