Williams's coaching style is Rivers type, but his tactical level is much worse than Rivers.

Strictly speaking, he should be a bit like the Warriors' former coach, Mark Jackson.

In the two years since Tang Tian joined the team, he led the team to rise, and he was close to the best head coach twice.

In general, he and the Pelicans are in good agreement with Tang Tian.

This is also similar to the situation of Mark Jackson in the Warriors.

But just like he didn't get the best head coach, because of his limited tactical level, Williams' performance is difficult to satisfy the management.

Especially this year's playoffs, the Pelicans were hit by counterattacks by their opponents several times, and their timeouts were slow.

If it wasn't for Tang Tian ’s scoring of 63 points, the Pelicans would have stopped in the Western Conference semifinals.

And similar to the original Warriors, Tang Tian, ​​Davis, Jokic's core lineups are full of offensive talent, but the Pelicans have not formed an offensive system, and the average score is not high.

What Demps now says is Benson.

With the lessons learned from the Warriors, management hopes to change to a competent head coach.

Tang Tian understands these situations.

But Williams has been very helpful to the players in the Pelicans for the past two years. Emotionally, he doesn't want to give his opinion on such things.

Speaking of which Demps is willing to listen to his suggestions is good, but sometimes the choice is worse.

Like trading Cole in the beginning, it's not appropriate to talk to him now to change coaches.

"Mr. Benson has decided to change the head coach. This is not something that other people can change, and you don't have to worry too much about Monty's market. He played so well in the Pelicans for two years and found new jobs difficult."

Demps added that Tang Tian had never spoken.

He said that the previous sentence was to tell Tang Tian that it was imperative to change coaches, and the latter was to make Tang Tian's heart pass.

Tang Tian nodded.

He is not an unemotional cold-blooded animal, but also knows when and what should not be said.

Now that the management has decided, it doesn't help him to insist.

Like Curry, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the dismissal of Mark Jackson, but it had no effect.

"If Monty doesn't find a head coaching job on another team, I think it would be nice to hire him back as the chief assistant coach if he wants to. He's top in the league in training players and encouraging morale."

Tang Tian said after thinking for a while.

Dismissing the head coach and letting him go to the assistant coach is a seemingly unacceptable thing.

So Tang Tian said a premise, if Williams did not go to other teams as head coach.

After all, nba has only 30 head coach positions in total, excluding Popovich and Carlisle who can't beat thunder, in fact, there are not many opportunities.

At first, after Mark Jackson was fired by the Warriors, no one wanted it, and he could only go back to TNT to continue as a commentator.

Demps nodded.

Williams is a charismatic coach, and they have a good time together.

If that were the case, and Williams was willing to return, he would definitely do it.

"Is there a target for management?"

Having said that, Tang Tian asked the opportunity.

"Mike D'Antoni."

Demps gave Tang Tian the answer.

"Danny Anthony's coaching in New York and Los Angeles did not go well, but this does not conceal his excellent offensive system. Mr. Benson appreciated him and hoped that he could do the same thing as Steve Cole.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

Benson seems to like the Warriors.

However, this is also human nature. The Warriors have changed from second to championship in a season, and this great change must be noticeable.

The Pelicans now look a bit like the Warriors a year ago.

Now pick a D'Antoni who is also good at offense.

This is completely understandable.

In addition, D'Antoni's history went to the Rockets to liberate Harden and play the magic ball, which also made the Rockets a popular hit.

Now that the Pelicans Tang Tian is holding the ball, Ariza, Hollodi, Morrow are a shooter, plus Davis and Jokic, this is also in line with the magic ball.

It's not bad for him to coach the Pelicans.

As for the issue of defense, it would be nice to hire an assistant coach who is good at defense.

The Rockets were Jeff Boozderick.

"Any other candidates?"

Tang Tian asked more.

"George Carr, Rick Adelman, Avery Johnson."

Demps said several other backup candidates for management.

Tang Tian probably understood after listening.

These are all offensive head coaches, and D'Antoni.

The Pelicans management is determined to improve the team's offensive ability.

"How is Stevens?"

Tang Tian said.

Something different from history, maybe because of the butterfly effect brought by his crossing, when Stevens entered the NBA, he signed a two-year short-term contract with the Celtics.

His contract expires this summer and is still in the renewal phase.

The Pelicans played a three-overtime with the Celtics last season and the Celtics won.

Tang Tian was very impressed in that game, and he also had coffee with Stevens after the game and talked about some tactical issues.

Stevens definitely has the ability ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and is as young as him.

If the coach is also capable, his current strength is already in the second gear, after the first gear Popovich and Carlisle.

As for the future, no one is sure.

So Tang Tian mentioned him.

"Brad Stevens?"

Demps confirmed.

Tang Tian nodded.

"He's too young to have two years of coaching experience, and that's how he coached in Boston."

Demps didn't seem too cold for Stevens.

"Before Steve Cole went to the Warriors, he had no coaching experience. The Celtics were average, but they also made the playoffs last season and won two games. Like Powich, he is a coach who knows how to teach. "

Tang Tian replied.

Demps heard appreciation from Tang Tian's words.

"The Celtics seemed to have won us three overtime last season."

He said to himself.

After that he nodded.

"I would recommend Mr. Stevens to Mr. Benson and management if the opportunity is right."

Demps finally said.

Tang Tian nodded.

He also knows that Demps has Lausa, management, and Benson. He can't decide such a coaching change alone.

But being able to push Stevens as one of the candidates is enough.

After all, the choice between the team and the coach is two-way. The Pelicans are interested in Anthony and the Rockets are interested. At that time, it depends on how D'Antoni chooses.

In case D'Antoni chooses to go to the Rockets, the Pelicans have to choose from the candidates.
