Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While the Seattle SuperSonics were dealing with the draft and contract extension matters, Carlesimo's side had officially broken off. Carlesimo had publicly stated that he had been deceived by the Seattle SuperSonics and expressed disapproval of the Sonics' behavior.  He was condemned, but because he really has no status in the coaching world, many people have no impression of this head coach who was kicked out just after leading the team to the championship.  There was no impact, the team still won the championship, and it was almost the same without him.  //Updated fastest //

    It is this kind of performance that makes people more and more doubtful about his ability and level, so no one has any sympathy for him. After the relationship completely broke down, according to Chris Hansen's ideas, regarding the team's playoffs  Carlesimo doesn't even have to think about the bonus. The salary will be paid to you naturally. But is this bonus considered as additional income? It will be useless even if you take it to court. However, under Presti's insistence  Next, Chris Hansen finally agreed to give the money to Carlesimo, US$170,000. After receiving the money, Carlesimo was quite sensible and called Stephen to ask him to thank Pu.  Resty.

    After the two sides lost the possibility of cooperation, Presti began the internal screening of head coaches. First of all, the team must determine which head coach to find. If the coach is already unemployed, then it is easy to contact the other party directly.  That's it, the other party agrees to coach, and then negotiates to determine the contract. However, if the other party also has a team as the head coach or assistant coach, you have to contact the other team's team and ask them to agree to contact between the two parties.

    But the Seattle SuperSonics don't need to be so troublesome. They don't have much thought about the head coaches or assistant coaches of other teams. There are several head coaches who are unemployed at home waiting to choose. They have to come from other teams.  Grab someone in your hands.

    However, the selection of a head coach is not an easy task. In this regard, one must especially listen to Stephen¡¯s opinion. For this reason, Presti sat down with Stephen specially while drinking the tea that Stephen likes to drink.  While discussing what kind of head coach to hire.

    First of all, head coaches without proven record can be excluded. For the Sonics, which is still aiming for the championship next season, it is impossible to let a head coach without proven record come to practice, but if there is  Among the head coaches with proven records, not many are unemployed, and at the same time, not many meet the needs of the team.

    The first condition Stephen put forward was that the new head coach must know defense. Presti was very surprised by this, but Stephen had his own opinion. The current offensive model of the Seattle SuperSonics has been very perfect, especially  Carlesimo left a large number of unimplemented tactical plans. Although there is need to worry about some changes to these tactics due to Carlesimo's leaks, these tactics are still very valuable to this Sonics team.

    In terms of offense, tactics and players' personal abilities and coordination are actually complementary to each other. Tactics cannot completely replace the players' personal abilities. Similarly, if a team only fights randomly, it will not win the championship. In general,  On offense, Stephen still trusts Carlesimo.

    Stephen, who came out of the San Antonio Spurs, deeply understands the importance of defense, especially in the playoffs. If the Sonics' defense was not superior to the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers, the team would not be able to  After the victory, Stephen believes that the team's offense has nothing to improve. The league's leading average points and shooting percentage are evidence, but on defense, the team still has a lot of room for improvement.

    Choosing a defensive head coach can also share the pressure on Stephen. The team's defense needs Stephen's leadership. At the same time, as long as Stephen is on the court, in addition to driving the team's defense, Stephen also has to shoulder the heaviest defensive task.  , this also affects Stephen's performance on the offensive end, so Stephen wants to find a defensive head coach, which can reduce his burden and allow him to focus more on offense and controlling the game.

    "Does a defensive head coach need to have a record to prove it?" After thinking about it, Presti's eyes immediately lit up and he said to Stephen: "I have thought of a candidate, but I think since you said that, there must be one.  Why don¡¯t we write his name on paper to see if he is the same person?¡±

    Stephen nodded after listening, and then the two of them each wrote a name. After exchanging each other, they saw that it was indeed the same person. The two of them burst out laughing. Jeff Van Gundy, among the currently unemployed head coaches,  There is no one more suitable than Jeff Van Gundy who can meet the conditions set forth by Stephen.

    The most worrying thing now is whether Jeff Van Gundy is willing to return to coaching, although he still has a contract with ESPNHowever, people like him must have an exemption clause when signing a contract, that is, as long as there is an opportunity to coach, the TV station cannot stop it, so his current job should not be a problem. It mainly depends on whether Jeff Van Gundy is willing  Return to the job of head coach.

    Judging from his working status in ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy is completely different from him as a head coach. It¡¯s not just as simple as having witty words and a cheerful smile. It can be seen that he is very adaptable to this kind of work and is very happy in his job.  Although the salary of a commentator is much higher than that of a head coach, it also depends on whether you are happy or not.

    I think back when the Houston Rockets proposed a contract with an annual salary of more than five million US dollars, Jeff Van Gundy was not impressed. It is also difficult to say whether the current Sonics team can impress him, although there are many talents to coach this team.  You may win a championship, but people with strong self-esteem may not be willing to accept such a job.

    However, the Sonics also have an advantage, and that is Yao Ming. Jeff Van Gundy and Yao Ming had a pleasant cooperation when they were in the Rockets. I wonder if Yao Ming can persuade him to agree, but Jeff Van Gundy¡¯s salary is higher.  Much higher than Carlesimo, not sure if Chris Hansen agrees or not.

    Unexpectedly, Presti told Chris Hansen that Chris Hansen was very interested in Jeff Van Gundy. As for salary, it was not a problem at all. A famous coach like Jeff Van Gundy, even if the salary is higher, it is completely worth it.  Yes, Chris Hansen is worried that Jeff Van Gundy is a bit too shabby. Many manufacturers let their spokespersons use their own products for endorsements. Jeff Van Gundy is the only exception. When his father thought that his son was already a successful person, he gave him  I bought two or three sets of Armani suits, but as a result, Jeff Van Gundy still stayed up late and slept on the sofa every day, making the clothes look unsightly. In the end, in order to maintain their own clothing image, Amal Company specifically contacted Jeff Van Gundy, hoping that they would pay for it.  For a sum of money, Jeff Van Gundy was able to give up wearing Amar's suits.

    Therefore, Chris Hansen's condition is that when Jeff Van Gundy appears in front of the media or on the sidelines of the game on behalf of the team, he must meet the requirements of the team's image consultant. The team is now a successful team.  After Chris Hansen's communication was completed, Presti ordered the team's staff to draft a contract while contacting Yao Ming, who was conducting business activities in Florida, and asked Yao Ming to first explore Jeff Van Gundy's tone.

    After Yao Ming helped the team win the championship, Reebok, the company he endorsed, attached great importance to it. After all, among their endorsed stars, he was the first to win the championship. Although Yao Ming was not the boss of the team, he did not win the championship.  The MVP of the Finals, but his performance in sweeping the Orlando Magic not only proved that he is the league's number one center, but also the second contributor to the Sonics' victory, so a series of commercial activities were specially organized for him.  At the same time, their players such as Allen Iverson and Jason Terry also attended the event. However, before Presti could speak, Yao Ming spoke first: "Mr. General Manager, Allen Iverson wants to join our team.  Team."
