v1 Chapter 40: Coaching staff
After the Rockets officially announced, Tang Tian received many blessing text messages.
There are players from teams like Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, as well as teams from Alexandria, Thibodeau, and even people like Swift and Hathaway.
In addition to his blessings, Hathaway invited him to a large party in the evening, adding reasons he had to go and saying he would introduce a world-class supermodel to him.
As a supermodel, Tang Tian has no time to know, but after the founding of the record company, he intentionally took Swift to go around and get familiar, which is definitely good for her future development.
I promised Hathaway, and then he held his first coaching group meeting after taking office.
The expressions on the assistant professors' faces were different from those on normal days.
The new head coach will inevitably mean that there will be a big change in the coaching staff. Some people are eager for the first assistant coach who is vacated, while more people are worried.
Although Tang Tian was promoted from the position of first assistant coach, but the NBA has unwritten rules, new coaches rarely use the old coaching team, most of them are likely to be swept out today.
I looked at the sorrows below, Tang Tian asked in a low voice and asked Xibodu around him, knowing that they were all worried about being resigned, they could not laugh or cry for a while.
He was only half a year into the NBA. This time he became the head coach. It is unexpected that he doesn't know other assistant coaches. Even from the perspective of stability, he will not go to great lengths.
He coughed twice and then said: "Don't worry about your future in the Rockets. Except that Tom will be my first assistant coach, everyone else will be in the same position as before."
A few words of understatement, a few regrets appeared on the faces of most teaching assistants, but most of them were relieved.
It was Xibodu, who seemed very surprised. Tang Tian had never greeted him before.
Tang Tian held down Sibodu, who spoke, then said, "I was introduced to the team by Jeff. He is a great and respectable coach. Although there are some conflicts in coaching philosophy, it does not prevent this. So you don't have to think too much, as long as you perform your duties and follow the steps. "
The teaching assistants nodded one after the other. Tang Tianping would make some suggestions to Van Gundy except during meetings. Usually, there was no conflict, so this coaching change was a decision of the management and has nothing to do with the two parties. Speaking of this, they didn't need to say anything more.
Because tomorrow is about to play the Mavericks, Tang Tian seizes the time and then studies his countermeasures with his new coaching staff.
For more than two hours, the research was almost the same, and the first coaching group meeting followed.
The other teaching assistants left one after the other, and only Thibodeau was still sitting in his original position.
"Don, I don't think I can be a first assistant." Seeing that everyone else was gone, Thibodeau said.
怎么 "What? Jeff's resignation made you carelessly?" Tang Tian turned to look at Xibodu.
"No, that's not what I mean, I mean I'm still in charge of my original piece, and you find someone who can help you." Xi Bodu finished, afraid of Tang Tian misunderstanding, and then added, "You also know me Not very good at offensive matters. "
"You don't have to worry about this. I can just grab the attack. As for the defense, I will give you a general idea. You can refine it." Tang Tian was relieved that Xibodu was not about to resign.
"Can ..."
Tangtian interrupted Xibodu's intention to continue speaking, and then said, "Yes, there is still no one in the core coaching staff. I want to find someone who can take charge of the team's shooting training."
Xibodu saw that Tang Tian really made a decision, so he didn't insist anymore. Now when he heard Tang Tian say, he looked puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with Jaylen Rose?"
"No, he's okay, but I'm looking for a coach who is good at three-point shooting. Now the only three-pointers on the team are Steve (Novak) and Sean (Bathir). That's not okay. What I need is a team that has three-point shooting ability. Well ... it's not the best way to find Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, Dale. · Ellis can do anything. "
Tang Tian is clear about the top three-point shooters in the NBA, but Ray Allen and Terry are still playing in the league, and those of Curry and Thompson have not even entered the league. He must not find them, so I can only find these ancient pitchers.
"Okay, I will try to contact." After listening to Tang Tian, Xibodu nodded immediately.
"Well, that's it for today. I haven't congratulated you as the team's first assistant coach. Go home and celebrate with your wife and children! I still have something to do, so I won't go to your fun together." Tang Tian said standing He got up, looked at the time, and was almost ready to go to the party that Hathaway said.
Xibodu nodded. After working in the NBA for more than ten years, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com finally became the team's first assistant coach, and it really was to celebrate it.
I bid farewell to Xibodu, Tang Tian returned to the rental house and put on a suit, dressed a little, and then drove directly to the airport to pick up Swift.
The call was made in the morning. It took more than five hours to fly from Los Angeles to Houston. It was almost at this moment.
I stood outside the plane exit for a while, and Swift came out of it.
Pure and lovely appearance, coupled with the iconic little eyes and curly hair, were recognized by the crowd at a glance.
But before Tang Tian discovered Swift, she recognized Tang Tian first.
Her expression showed that she was surprised.
"What's wrong?" Tang Tian asked, wondering where he hadn't cleaned up.
"Nothing." Swift's face turned red slightly, Tang Tian was already handsome. After dressing up, she felt a sense of fascinating thousands of girls, she looked red-eyed and heartbeat.
Tang Tian saw the expression of Swift, and guessed it a bit.
He didn't say much, pulled Swift, and drove to the place where the party was.
Unlike in China, party parties are very common in the United States. It's like a domestic dinner. The difference is that many of these parties happen in private residences, and there are many people in the entertainment industry who invite a lot of people. Get together to play, show off that you have money.
聚会 This time the party is a bit big. The organizer is well-known American fairy tale color designer Benhard Weyholm, so this time many supermodels were invited to the party.
Tangtian took Swift into Weyholm's equipment, and saw each of the **** and tall female models shuttle back and forth, and there was a feeling of entering the catwalk.
