Coach: Starting by Coaching the Grizzlies and Giving the Short-Armed Tiger a Thrashing

Oden was still the No. 1 Pick even if he was selected 10,000 times. No matter what happened to him later, at that time he was the last inside hope of American basketball after O'Neal. Sparks was not included in the comparison. It was believed that he could compete with Yao Riyue in the future. Or even surpass.

Does the author understand? He forced Kobe to be the MVP. He is seventh in the Western Conference. He is dreaming about getting the MVP. It is not a joke to be in charge of the NBA.

Whether you choose Oden or not is up to your little assistant. You really treat the management as a fool 🙂. Besides, what if you choose? If you dare to choose, you will get out immediately, and no one dares to ask for it. The duration depends on when Oden will be retired, and when Durant will play. This time period can be as short as 3-4 years, and as long as 4-5 years. Please tell me. Are you a living Lei Feng? You use your career to clear mines for the boss 😅. If you want to choose Durant, you are just putting yourself into the perspective of the boss. Unfortunately, the protagonist is just a small assistant. When you become the boss, let alone Durant, you are a distant fish and Xu Jingyu. No one can do anything to you, but before that, you should keep your tail between your legs 🤫

Anyway, the author's rookies don't need to level up. It's not like every rookie is picked up by Duncan and reaches full level. For the protagonist, this can only shorten his leveling and playing style.

It would be foolish to let an assistant coach win the championship. Because the head coach is unhappy with you and doesn't listen to you. There is no initiative.

I finished reading it on January 5, 2024, while it was free for a limited time, eh! How to say it? I really can't help but complain that I only have basketball and no life, so I might as well just write the data. It's too boring and unattractive.

The author wrote about the rookies too well, using their peak data to the time when they first entered the NBA. Just like Ariza had no three-point ability at the beginning, Durant could only make mid-range shots as a rookie and could not break through at all, etc.

Personally, I don't think there is any need to criticize him. It was he who confirmed Yao Ming's core position within the team, and he and Yao Ming achieved mutual success. But Yao Ming benefited even more after all, because Van Gundy Jr. Proved himself in 1998, and he was originally a defensive coach. His style of play contributed to Yao Ming's dominance. Although it's not right or wrong, maybe Yao's career would be longer if he didn't have such a heavy weight and competition intensity. But is he not responsible for participating in international competitions frequently during the offseason? Do you have to blame Van Gundy? It's even more ridiculous to say that the first round is always in the first round. Look at the record of the Utah Jazz's two veterans, who has prevented you from having a long career, and Tracy McGrady is a trap. He stole Yao Ming's core position and got the highest salary in the league. It can be said that the back-to-back rotation started with him. Alexander was not allowed to pay the luxury tax, but without Tracy McGrady, he would be close to the second round. Maybe Yao Ming is more suitable for Adelman, but history cannot assume that if it is someone else who is abandoned? Isn't Yi Jianlian a good example? Do you think Yi Jianlian can't do it himself? Not necessarily. It is indeed a bit confusing if Yi Jianlian does not go to the small ball market, but it is the same if you replace Yao Ming in the Bucks' hell start. Yi Jianlian scored 28 points in the regular season, more than once. If Yi Jianlian is the core, he is not necessarily worse than Yao Ming. Don't assume history. I find that many online articles are now criticizing Larry Brown, Jeff Van Gundy, Thibodeau, and even Popovich. Everyone is not a fool. Do you think he is better than the team owner and general manager?

Many people need to level up and grow. Anyway, the players described by the author are plug and play even if they don't have peak strength, which is a bit unrealistic.

Author, this is a fantasy novel.
