270:Listen, the champion’s heart is beating(2/5)
But Atlanta doesn't get much attention in this area. The number of live games in the United States in a year can be counted on one hand.
If you post data here, no one may even know about it.
But Phoenix is different. If you want to say which team is the most popular team in the league right now, it must be the Suns.
The season hasn't even started yet, but the Suns have already attracted a lot of attention because of their series of operations.
Playing in the Suns next season, Jackson won't worry about others not being able to see his performance.
What's more, Taiyang also increased the price by 500,000.
This is 500,000 real cash.
After much consideration, Wu Sheng Jackson decided to join the Phoenix Suns. The Phoenix office of the Bad Boys Legion has added another strong player!
After successfully signing Jackson, everyone in Colangelo was panicked.
He felt that the gorgeous, foreign-style sun in his mind suddenly became rough.
At present, the team's main rotation lineup for next season has basically been determined.
The center positions include O'Neal Jr. and Voskull.
The forward positions include Leon, Stoudemire, Haslem and Jackson.
The defenders include Nash, Johnson, Barbosa and Raja Bell.
There is at least one villain in every position.
However, Leon asked Colangelo to relax.
Although there are a lot of villains in this team now, they are basically all smart.
He's not like Artest, who is both good and pretentious.
O'Neal Jr., Wu Sheng, Haslem and Raja Bell are all the kind of people who are not afraid of trouble but don't stir up trouble.
Li Ang felt that with his character, he should be able to suppress them.
The team's lineup is almost complete, now, they just need a head coach.
These days, Li Ang has been watching the news from the Mavericks.
What are we looking for? See if Nelson will resign.
After all, the emergence of the Galaxy Battleship will make Johnson's five sets of singles tactics shine.
What if in this history, Nelson resigned a year early?
However, after waiting for a long time, the calf was happy and peaceful.
At this point, Colangelo had only one last possible attempt left.
After finishing the team's lineup, Colangelo flew to Houston.
Although the possibility is low, this is his last chance.
20 kilometers west of downtown Houston, a wealthy residential area on the Oak River.
Surrounded by small rivers, it is very peaceful.
This kind of environment is perfect for Rudy Tomjanovich, who is recuperating at home at this time.
When Colangelo saw Tomjanovich, he seemed in good spirits and seemed to be recovering well over the past six months.
Last week, the media reported that Tomjanovich's body had fully recovered and there were no cancer cells.
The day before yesterday, Tomjanovich had a full physical examination and everything was normal.
Rudy seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and watering the flowers he raised.
"How is your father's health?" Rudy, wearing glasses, asked Brian Colangelo after watering the flowers.
Jerry Colangelo, Jr.'s father, like Tomjanovich, recently suffered from prostate cancer.
These old acquaintances really have sympathy for each other.
In fact, there are quite a few coaches in the NBA suffering from the disease, and Nelson also has this problem. He has to hide a urine bag in his trousers during every game to prevent sudden incontinence during the game.
"My father is recovering well and he is in good health."
"That's good, that's good... You did a good job this summer, and the Suns suddenly have many talented players."
"Yeah, that's why I came to you. I hope you can lead this Suns team to hit the championship!" Colangelo no longer hid it.
Rudy didn't show much shock at what Colangelo said. He already knew the purpose of Colangelo's visit.
Before Tomjanovich could answer, his wife walked to the balcony carrying afternoon tea snacks: "Let's have something to eat."
"Thank you, Sophie." Tomjanovich looked at his wife tenderly. Although they have been together for 30 years, it can be seen that the relationship between the old couple is still very good.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ask your father to come and sit here if you have time. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Sophie put down the snack and started to greet little Colangelo again.
Young Colangelo nodded nervously, placing his hands nervously on his knees.
The feeling of being a guest at an elder's home made him forget that he was here to recruit.
"Where did we just talk? Oh yes, the Suns now have many talented players. I also believe that your team has the ability to compete for the championship. After all, you have the MVP of the Finals last season. I know Li Ang
, I am very impressed by him. But unfortunately, I may have to reject you."
"But your body has recovered, hasn't it?"
"That's not the only problem with my body. Working day and night for so many years has already destroyed my body.
Being an NBA head coach means that life is no longer regular, with high mental pressure and unstable mood swings, which are very detrimental to cancer recovery patients. I don’t want to take risks because it’s unfair to my family, and I don’t want the team to
Impacted by hiring a sick coach.
Moreover, I enjoy my family life now. When I was a head coach, I ran around all day and had no time to spend with my family.
Now, I get to be with my wife every day. I enjoy this life, Brian, I hope you can understand."
Tomjanovich's words made Colangelo not know what to say.
Tomjanovich now gives people a feeling of having no desires and desires, and not eating the fireworks of the world.
He just wants to eat snacks and water the flowers at home in peace, and doesn't want to get involved in the NBA's disputes.
Even if I want to go back, it's not now.
After that, neither of them talked about work anymore. Colangelo left without having dinner and returned to his hotel in Houston.
After Colangelo left, Tomjanovich looked at the pile of roses he had planted and touched his chest.
Basketball?
I have been away from basketball for a long time.
At noon the next day, Tomjanovich received another call.
He also thought that Colangelo was preparing to pay a second visit to the thatched cottage.
As it turned out, the voice on the phone wasn't Colangelo's.
That afternoon, he met the young man who called him.
Stronger than he thought.
"Li, I really didn't expect you to visit me in person."
It’s the same balcony as yesterday, the same snacks.
But today, it was Leon sitting opposite Tomjanovich.
After learning that Colangelo's lobbying failed, Li Ang rushed to Houston and decided to meet Master Tang in person.
Because right now, Tomjanovich is the most suitable candidate!
Who is Mr. Tang? He is a coach with both chicken soup and strength.
In terms of tactical skills, Tomjanovich's ability to lead Mosaic to counterattack in the playoffs is inseparable from his scheduling.
In that era when no one paid much attention to three-pointers, Tomjanovich chose to go forward.
In the 1993-94 season, Mosaic averaged 15.7 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league. In the 1994-95 season, Mosaic averaged 21.4 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league, and was the only team to average three points per game that season.
Teams that have attempted more than 20 point-ball attempts.
Although such a number of three-pointers may seem like nothing now, in the early 1990s, this was definitely quite unusual.
Olajuwon also relied on Tang Shuai's star-studded shooting to lead Mosaic to two consecutive championships during Jordan's retirement.
Many small keyboards will say: They can only win the championship if Jordan is not around, so there is nothing to be arrogant about.
Well, if Jordan is not here, everyone has the same chance of winning the championship. Why don't Malone and Barkley also win one?
But if you think that Master Tang can only play one star and four shots, you are wrong. In the original history, when Tang Shuai briefly coached the Lakers, he led the Lakers to play a pure triangle offense.
Because he had worked with Winter, the founder of the triangle offense, the triangle offense was also readily available to him.
In short, Mr. Tang has a very rich tactical reserve. He is not like D'Antoni who only knows one trick, nor is he as paranoid as Larry Brown.
He will use players according to their own characteristics to formulate tactics.
