Chapter 582 [Justice Marshal! I can I up! 】
Brad Stevens is 29 years old this year, a handsome white guy who is handsome and qualified to join Yang Rui's Justice League. From his resume, you can see how much he loves basketball.
In 1999, at the age of 23, Brad quit his job as director of marketing operations at Eli Lilly to join Butler University as an unpaid basketball volunteer.
What kind of lunatic would leave America's largest pharmaceutical company to be a volunteer?If he was in China, where he pursued a stable job, his parents would probably have to invite a great immortal to draw talismans in his bedroom to kill demons and slay demons.
Brad Stevens started as an assistant coach at Butler University in 2001 and has been there until now.After hearing that the Lakers were going to hire a new assistant coach, he sent his resume with the mentality of trying it out.
Yang Rui called to say that Brad was selected, and Kupchak couldn't believe it. "You're looking for this young college assistant? Isn't there a lot of NBA assistants? And retired NBA players."
The implication is that just looking for someone is more qualified than Brad, such as Fred Hoiberg who played in the Lakers.
Yang Rui believes that Brad is the most promising of all those who submit resumes.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Brad served as the head coach of Butler University from 2007 to 2013, with a coaching winning rate of 77.2%, leading Butler University to the NCAA Finals twice, the rate since Bob Knight in 1973. The youngest head coach to reach the NCAA Final Four and the youngest head coach to lead his team to the Finals since 1940.
2013年7月4日，凯尔特人宣布任命布拉德为球队第17任主教练，双方签下一份为期6年，总价值为2200万美元的合同。
Brad had a tough time with the Celtics because Ainge sent Pierce and Garnett away in the summer.By the way, coach Rivers was also traded to the Clippers, creating a precedent for trading head coaches.
Angie is broken and ready to rebuild. Last season, James scored 45 points against the Green Army, and he has no time to play.As a result, there was no one willing to compete in the Green Army in the summer. The rest of the Green Army must be at the bottom, and no one wants to take the blame.
At this time, Stevens stood up and said: "I can I up"!
With no support, he brought a group of players who were not optimistic. After a year of running-in, he scored 2014 wins and 15 losses in the 40-42 season, returned to the playoffs, and won the title of "little marshal". .
Then in the 2016-17 season, everyone's jaws fell to the ground. The Green Army actually won the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. The core is Isiah Thomas, who only has 175CM.The Green Army also entered the Eastern Conference finals and lost to the Cavaliers 1-4, even though they were defeated.
You know, the Cavaliers lineup is terrible. Leaving aside the Big Three and TT Thompson, backups JR Smith and Shumpert both earn tens of millions of dollars a year. Ron Williams, Derek Williams, Dengtai Jones, Richard Jefferson, James Jones and other celebrities.
The Cavaliers star team's annual salary plus luxury tax reaches [-] million. This is not playing football but playing money.It is normal for the Greens to lose. After all, the Cavaliers can win against the Big Four Warriors...a game.
In short, Yang Rui knows Brad's future achievements, and knows that this man is flexible and bold in his tactics. Even if he is not enlightened now, he will get better in the future. He can be a Bole and let him stand out earlier.
The number of "Jerry's" coaches has increased, and Yang Rui will have a brighter face if he will be the head coach in the future.
Brad made a big joke when he got the call from Kupchak because he didn't trust the identity of the opposing Lakers manager at all. "Don't think I can fool me without hearing your voice, you must be David's friend, right?"
Kupchak immediately felt that this product was unreliable. Yang Rui decided to teach assistants just by looking at the resume in the e-mail, which was too hasty.
"I don't know how your friends usually joke with you, but I'm really Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers. Jerry Young asked me to inform you that I will come to Los Angeles for the second round of interviews the day after tomorrow. The location is..."
The other party said the location seriously, and asked him to rush to Los Angeles as soon as possible. Brad was convinced that this was not a prank.A friend, no matter how much nonsense, would not fool him from Indianapolis in the Midwest to Los Angeles.
After hanging up, Brad jumped up excitedly.To be able to enter the second round of interviews is a success for him. This is the Lakers. There must be many people who want to join. It is a testament to his strength that an unqualified college assistant can discuss tactics with an NBA-level assistant coach.
Kupchak responded quickly, and did not say that Yang Rui had already decided that it was Brad, otherwise he would not believe it.
The next day, Brad was fully prepared to fly to Los Angeles, dressed appropriately, arrived at the hotel near the Staples Center a day earlier, rested, recharged, and wanted to greet the important event in the best possible spirit. interview.Although he didn't have much hope, what if he stayed?He has been in college for five years and has long been looking forward to promotion, and the NBA is his ultimate goal.
The result was even more dramatic than Brad had imagined. He went to the manager's office to meet Kupchak and Yang Rui. There were no other interviewees.
Yang Rui chatted with him about his work in the new season, as well as his basketball philosophy, and asked him a few more questions.
Brad has been trained by professional coaches, and he has a solid foundation in leading the team and has a solid answer.
Yang Rui asked him what he thinks of the Lakers' current tactics and how they plan to use the team's fringe.These questions are not easy to deal with and must be raised constructively.
What tactics the Lakers' rotation players played last season, as long as the coaches who pay attention to the game can tell, it's nothing special, and it is the ability to use rookies such as Gibson and Millsap.
Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Brad has thoroughly understood the Lakers' tactics. Many of Butler University's tactics are copied from the Lakers.Of course, this has something to do with the relatively simple tactics the Lakers played last season. If it was the Wizards' multi-person movement without the ball, no matter how experienced the coach would see it, it would be messed up, and he had to study it slowly.
He believes that the key to the Lakers' starting tactics is to help superstars develop their personal abilities. It is enough to open up space and create singles opportunities and dislocation singles opportunities. There is no need to change them. If a coach arranges complex running tactics for the "drug combination" , that's definitely neurotic.
In terms of people on the fringes of the team, Brad appreciates a small guard who has speed and can break through. It is recommended to reuse Louis Williams next season; Millsap and Louis can play pick-and-roll, Walton, Kapono, and Gibson are there. The perimeter opened and waited for an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer; Hayes' role was relatively simple, he could only defend, and the offensive end was on one side low to prepare for offensive rebounds, attracting defense, and did not need to go out to cover.
In college, Brad suggested to reuse a small guard who has speed and can break through, but the head coach did not allow it, and the two quarreled about it.
In the NCAA, playing against poor, short players often doesn't even get a chance to sit on the bench.Stephen Curry is an example. He shoots well, but he didn’t want to be in college after graduating from high school. In the end, Dad tried to get involved and joined a bad team.Luis has also been undervalued, barely playing last season.
Brad's idea was in Yang Rui's mind. After Mo Williams left, he did intend to increase Louis' playing time. He could also shoot three-pointers. Louis' breakthrough ability was better than Gibson and Jones.
If the Lakers' fringe lineup is well-run, the offense and defense will not be weak at both ends, and Brad's tactic is very reasonable.He is quick-witted and believes that adapting on the spot is the most important thing in the game, and he will definitely be able to serve as an assistant coach next season.
After the chat, Kupchak took out the prepared contract, guaranteed for the first two years, the team option for the third year, and the new assistant coach was determined.
