Chapter 60

Based on Richard's knowledge of the pioneers, there's no reason why they've traveled in the first round of the playoffs in succession

The reason is that the strength is not enough!

In order to break the awkward situation of the first round tour, the team must either introduce a super star or completely knock down the reconstruction!

But it's not so easy to introduce superstars. Today's league can be called superstars, including Jordan, big dream, Admiral, gorilla Ewing, Malone, Buckley and a young O'Neill

Among these players, there is only one chance that O'Neal can bring in a little, others don't want to think about it.

The cost of bringing in O'Neill is amazing, and O'Neill is not necessarily happy to come to Portland.

The urban area has a population of less than 500000. Cities of this size are not really prosperous.

……

In terms of overthrow and reconstruction, Richard is good at it, and there are many high-quality chips in the team. Richard is confident to build a new force with infinite potential!

But since it's a new force, i.e. strength, it's certainly not comparable to those teams whose core players are in the golden peak period. If you want to win in a year or two, it's certainly not realistic

Just like the rebuilt Timberwolves and the 76ers in Philadelphia, they are definitely talented, but there is still a long way to go to win the championship.

Paul Allen is not a layman who doesn't know anything. He knows that it's hard to make a decent record after the reconstruction, so he gives a more lenient time!

Three years in the first round of the playoffs and four years in the Western Conference!

For such a goal, Richard is more confident

Of course, all the tasks assigned by the boss must be guaranteed. If possible, Richard will shorten the time as much as possible, such as having the first round in two years, and entering the Western decision in three years

……

Thinking of this, Richard could not help but smile bitterly

In NCAA, Richard wants to play ten consecutive titles, which is really the same as playing, but after arriving in NBA, he can only set his goal in the second round of playoffs

NCAA doesn't need Richard to worry too much, but NBA doesn't, otherwise, it's just a trade, which is enough to make Richard worried!

……

"Yes!" Richard nodded

He really can't find any reason not to choose a pioneer. In any way, a pioneer is extremely suitable.

Seeing Richard nodding, Paul Allen's face showed surprise, although he had expected that Richard would not refuse his sincere self

But for a moment, Paul Allen's face was puzzled

It seems that until Richard nodded to join the trailblazers, they haven't talked about any salary.

"Li, don't talk about pay?"

"Give it freely, talk about money and hurt your feelings, ha ha!" Said Richard with a smile.

In fact, Richard didn't care much about the salary. It's up to four or five million US dollars, but if you don't talk about it, it won't be less than three million in the past two years.

Wilkens, coach of Qiansheng, is only five million dollars. If his salary is too much higher than Wilkens, it will cause other coaches to be angry. It's not impossible

NBA coach group is not the same as NCAA coach group

Most of NCAA's coaches are college coaches. They really rely on strength. If they don't have strength, they can't find a job at all!

More than half of the coaches in the NBA rely on their contacts and relationships rather than strength. Each faction may have a small fight, which can provoke a group of enemies.

In the fierce conflict with Larry Brown a few days ago, Richard could feel that he might have provoked a faction

Larry Brown has a wide network of contacts in the league. Apart from that, right now, spurs general manager Popovich has worked as an assistant under Larry Brown.

Richard is going to enter the NBA this time. In theory, the Spurs are unlikely to be indifferent. Their current coach Bob Hill's performance is not satisfactory, at least not to Popovich

In this case, they have no reason not to contact Richard.

But they didn't even invite Richard to be a ta

The only explanation, I'm afraid, is that Popovich is not going to have anything to do with Richard, Larry Brown's nemesis!

It's not good news that Richard has provoked a group of forces that can't be ignored in the NBA before he enters the league.

……

"Twenty million dollars in four years!" Without a word, Paul Alan gave Li Chade a top salary in the current NBA coaching community.

Richard nodded, wondering if Paul Allen could reduce the salaryCan think about it, such a request really some neuropathy, simply give up.

……

"Well, Lee, we'll sign at the end of the season!"

"There was something else I wanted to talk to you about, so I'll talk about it after signing the contract..."

Richard nodded and didn't ask what it was.

The matter of joining the Blazers has been basically settled. The next thing is to wait for the end of this season, Richard will be able to sign with the Blazers

And then waiting for the signing of this period of time, Richard still has a very important thing to do!

That is to recruit their own coaching team!

Belong to their own coaching team!

The role of the coaching team can never be ignored, especially the trailblazers formed by Richard, there will be many new players in the team, which will highlight the role of the coaching team!

Under normal circumstances, the coach group is composed of a head coach, a chief assistant, and several assistant teachers who are optional.

Head coach is Richard of course. Head coach, the English translation of the head coach, can be seen from this word that the head coach is the brain of the coaching team and is responsible for steering the general direction.

People's energy is limited. When the head coach is in charge of the general direction, other members of the coaching team are responsible for assisting the head coach and helping him to share some detailed work.

The chief assistant, also known as the deputy head coach, is responsible for participating in the development of attack and defense tactics and system construction, and is also the position of the general manager.

However, the following assistants have a lot of specific work assignments, including those who are specially in charge of offensive tactics, defensive tactics and shooting

The number of people depends on the needs of the manager.

As for special assistant teachers, there is little sense of existence, such as psychological tutors, career planning tutors, etc. some teams' coaching teams simply do not have these positions, but the teams themselves recruit relevant personnel

Although there is no rigid requirement for the number of people, in order to carry out the work normally, the number of coaches should not be less than four.

In other words, in the next period of time, Richard has to find four assistants!
