Chapter 57: Gentry on duty (recommendation) (collection requested)

In the study of Paul Allen's private villa in Seattle.

Bruce and Paul Allen sat on comfortable sofas.

But the mood of the two of them is not very good at the moment.

It stands to reason that the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship for three consecutive years and established a dynasty. Paul Allen can be said to be very happy, but now there is a copy of the team's information on the coffee table in front of him and Bruce.

This makes Paul Allen feel bad.

how to say?

This starts after the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship.

Since the Seattle SuperSonics team won the championship, the head coach George Carr first submitted a letter of resignation. No, to be precise, the coaching contract expired, and George Carr was free to leave.

From 1991 to 1996, in the past six years, George Carr brought three championship trophies to the Seattle Supersonics, which can be said to be a great contribution.

But George Karl now also knows that he can choose other teams to challenge.

Because he has no pursuit at all in the Seattle Supersonics. Also, you let a coach who has led the team to win championships for three consecutive years still coach the team. It really makes people feel less fresh.

This makes it difficult for the team's owner Paul Allen.

Go there for a time to find the right head coach?

You know, George Carr is now considered to be an NBA coach.

Among the current head coaches in the league, the Chicago Bulls Phil Jackson, the Miami Heat’s Pat Riley, the Atlanta Hawks’ Lanny Wilkens, and the wild Don Nelson can be counted as four. It's a famous man.

Including Sloan, Tom Shuai Adelman, these people can only be regarded as excellent, after all, the resumes of these coaches are not as gorgeous as those mentioned above.

So, at this time, the departure of George Carr put the Seattle SuperSonics into an extremely passive situation.

For a new coach, he will definitely arrange his own tactical ideas to be used in the team.

This would have been commonplace.

But what if this is a team that wants to continue to defend the championship?

Does it take time to adjust and adapt to a new style of play?

How can the fans of the Sonics accept this!

These fans are counting on the Seattle SuperSonics to win the championship again.

The championship, I don’t think so, there are a lot of **** behind...

"Bruce, you said that after George leaves, who is the most suitable head coach for the Sonics."

Paul Allen is one of the first two at this time, and he doesn't know what to do. He can only ask Bruce for help. He believes in Bruce's "magic".

You have to choose a famous coach. They have not expired one by one, and the owner of the team will definitely not let them go.

If you want to choose a well-known coach, they will definitely not come, even if you pay more money now, they will not pick up this hot potato.

why?

The defending champion is not a championship, but three in a row. You have to know that you are leading the team under such "invincible" conditions. It is enough for the team you lead to play well, if it is bad. The fame was ruined for the rest of my life!

Who will come at this time, do you think they dare?

Fans who have become accustomed to the championship can't make it to the finals abruptly. It's strange if those fans don't kill your coach and team!

Fans in any part of the world are the same. Good grades are all OK. If the grades are poor, the sound of get out of class will come!

The Chinese have a deep understanding of this, haha!

Then only find a rookie coach, and it must be the kind with a strong heart.

Who are you looking for...

Bruce was also thinking at this time, who would he look for?

To be honest, Bruce can really find a few good coaches to pick up the pot.

Originally, he could find the old Nelson who was in the wild, but in view of the cooperation agreement between him and Cuban, the old Nelson would definitely leave it to Cuban.

Sr. Nelson would definitely not choose.

All that was left was the chief assistant of the Seattle SuperSonics. Bruce took a look. There was a bunch of rubbish, none of which was well-known in his previous life.

If you can't find it in the Seattle SuperSonics, look for it in your coaching staff.

You know, the Bruce coaching team is definitely one of the best in the league.

All are well-known coaches in previous lives.

Bruce thought for a while, and asked Paul Allen about the confusion in his heart.

"Father, do you want to find a coach for a transition or do you want to find a once and for all."

"Transition? Once and for all? What do you mean?"

This point is very different, and I must explain it here.

If the former chooses to be a transition, then let his chief assistant Alvin Gentry over.

Nothing wrong, Gentry is indeed suitable for transition. This coach must have the strength, but he is by no means a tactical master coach. He is well-known at best.

If Paul Allen chooses Gentry, let him lead the team for a few years and then look for a famous coach.

If it is done once and for all, then Rick Carlisle must not run away.

Carlisle can definitely be regarded as a master-level coach. Although he is still very young now, as long as he is allowed to take a few more seasons, he will definitely be able to reach that position.

It mainly depends on whether Paul Allen wants to achieve results now or chooses to stay dormant temporarily and wait for the future.

Indeed, Gentry can now play with the team alone, and Carlisle still needs several years of tempering.

Anyway, if Bruce chooses, Carlisle must be chosen.

Of course, it's just Bruce's own thoughts. He doesn't mean that Paul Allen thinks the same way.

Bruce gave Paul Allen a detailed analysis on these two conditions and the choice of two options.

The rest is for him to choose himself. After all, he is not his own team. He only has the right to make suggestions, not the sovereignty.

Paul Allen also thought about it carefully. Of course he knew that Bruce wanted him to pick Carlisle. However, considering the current situation of the team, choosing Carlisle would be a big joke if he could not lead the team to the playoffs.

"Just Gentry!"

After struggling for a while, Paul Allen decided to make Gentry the head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics.

Let Gentry come, the teacher said, Bruce was a little disappointed.

Originally, Bruce wanted to take this opportunity to let Carlisle enter the Supersonics as soon as possible, but the result was good, Paul Allen did not choose Carlisle.

If Carlisle is allowed to come, then in 1998, Nowitzki can be directly elected to lead the team as leader.

The combination of Carlisle and Nowitzki is exactly the championship team Bruce wants to build for the Seattle SuperSonics in the future.

Doesn't Paul Allen's election leave Carlisle to himself?

Did the New York Hans choose Nowitzki in 1998?

What about Garnett?

Let them rotate?

This is not a joke!

Bruce felt depressed. Paul Allen did not choose Carlisle. What should I do?

Letting Carlisle, represented by the iron-blood coach, coach Yao Ming in New York. This didn't make Yao Ming more likely to be injured.

Let me put it plainly, the future coach of the New York Hans, Bruce, has always liked Stevens.

The Seattle SuperSonics rejected Carlisle, and the Bruce would definitely not let him go. It can be said that the only choice for the Bruce is Carlisle.

The coaches of the passion department and the tactics department are not the same.

Paul Allen’s choice this time completely broke the Bruce’s future plans for the Seattle Supersonics, and even more seriously interfered with the future plans of the New York Hans.

But there is no way. Who calls Paul Allen his "godfather", Bruce will support his decision.

Carlisle is Carlisle.

It seems that in the future, we are looking for an opportunity to let Stevens enter the Seattle SuperSonics.

In Bruce's view, except for Popovich, the coaches he saw in the new century were Carlisle and Stevens.

Other candidates can't get into his eyes, including coaches such as Cole who invented the "death five" and D'Antoni who is "offensive madman".

So whether it's New York or Seattle, these two future master-level coaches certainly can't let go.

Bruce thought about it for a moment, and after figuring out Paul Allen's choice, he finally nodded in agreement.

But now that he has changed coaches, should Nowitzki choose the Seattle SuperSonics or leave it to Cuban?

Just wait, it's not interesting to see Cuban.

After discussing the details with Paul Allen, Bruce called Gentry and prepared to let him come to Seattle to "work".
