I am Really an Insider

When Steve Patterson said that the Blazers' candidates for the head coach would be announced today, reporters were not surprised.

After all, it's too late to be uncertain about the candidate at this time.

Everyone is just curious about how Patterson convinced Sutton to coach the NBA.

Could it be that Paul Allen used the money power again?

As a result, when everyone discovered that the person who walked into the press conference was Rick Carlisle, the reporters were confused.

In the original history of Carlisle, he broke up with the Pacers in May 2007. After a short year as an narrator, he returned to coach in Dallas.

In this life, because young talents such as Roy led the Pacers to the playoffs, Carlisle was still leading the playoffs until May 2008.

After the season, Carlisle, who ended his five-year contract with the Pacers, became a "freedom coach" and he has been thinking about his next stop.

Many teams have invited Carlisle, including Mosaic.

Mosaic of such things must join in the fun.

For Indianapolis, Carlisle has feelings. In fact, the Pacers have always been one of his next homes.

After all, he and Bird are very close friends.

But the Pacers owner's attitude towards the team made Carlisle very disappointed.

To be honest, with the Pacers' current lineup, they only need to strengthen a little to get a better result.

But the team owner doesn't care, anyway, give Bird a goal-not to make money, but don't lose too much.

Well, don't dare to burn money, just rely on the draft, when will this team be raised?

Therefore, Carlisle decided to leave, also got Bird's consent and support.

In the end, he chose the Dallas Mavericks-Cuban is an owner willing to give everything to the team.

Carlisle and Cuban have met several times, and both sides are very satisfied with each other.

Because of this, Steve Patterson didn't have the idea of ​​playing Carlisle.

As everyone knows, Carlisle actually took the initiative to vote.

The resignation of McMillan for physical reasons caused Carlisle to change his mind.

Paul Allen, like Cuban, is also an owner who is willing to give everything to the team. Working under such an owner is very motivated.

But the Trail Blazers have another person who is extremely attractive to Carlisle-Wayne.

In Indianapolis, Carlisle deliberately trained Wayne as the next leader.

He really wants to try to train a player by himself, and then break into the league with him.

To be honest, if it weren't for Carlisle, Wayne would have difficulty getting so many appearances on the championship team during his rookie season.

Refer to Daktronics.

But everyone knows what happened later. After the peak, the Pacers fell quickly and were torn apart.

Carlisle's wish also fell through.

But now, when he has the opportunity to reconnect with Wayne, he has no hesitation!

He has always believed that it is not a pity that he failed to create brilliance with Wayne.

At this time, he had a chance to make up for his regrets.

In this way, Carlisle ran to Portland, leaving only Cuban messy in the wind.

"I am very confident to do my job well in the Trail Blazers. This team has a group of outstanding players.

We missed the championship last season. I think it's time to win the championship back this season. "

Carlisle was extremely confident at the press conference. He was picked peaches by Larry Brown, and this time he finally experienced the pleasure of picking peaches!

Of course, this peach will not be ripe, or not necessarily.

Before Carlisle, there are still many difficulties.

First, the Blazers' personnel changes this summer are a bit big. Six players walked away in one breath, among which Dakko, Uduka and Posey were still the main rotations, which was equivalent to half of the team's replacement.

In other words, it is not so easy to copy the work of his predecessor McMillan.

Because the players are different, the system must also be changed. Rotation time and so on must be rearranged.

There is also the second point, that is, Carlisle will immediately form a coaching team of his own.

After most coaches leave, they usually take their coaching team with them.

But Carlisle had to part ways with his coaching team this time.

His defensive assistant Frank Vogel was promoted by Bird to head coach of the Pacers.

His offensive assistant Terry Stotts was retired by Cuban and hired as the Mavericks head coach.

Therefore, Carlisle now has no right-hand man.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a good story in the coaching circle.

One person resigned, two assistants became regulars, and people called for the coach of the Jin Kelly department, Liu Bie.

Of course, he can’t handle it alone, it’s the workload and efficiency...

Well, Carlisle has been deeply troubled by hair loss these years.

Therefore, whether this fruit can be harvested next season depends on Carlisle's ability.

Yes, the Trail Blazers have a strong lineup.

But the requirements of the Trail Blazers are also high.

To the outside world, if Carlisle can't lead the team to win, then he is a failure.

Therefore, although Carlisle made loud noises at the press conference, it was actually a lot of trouble.

There are two things Carlisle will do first. First, find Wayne an excellent substitute.

Dakko's departure left the Trailblazers with a shortage of manpower for the fourth position.

Although Wayne will occupy most of the playing time, the bench can't be too hip, right?

The second is to improve your coaching team as soon as possible.

After the press conference, Carlisle sent out recruitment information, and sincerely recruited teaching assistants!

It requires good tactics, can withstand pressure, can get along with the players, and has a good image. At least you have to wear a tie.

The salary is negotiable, but our boss is Paul Allen, so you know the ticket.

As soon as the news came out, many people enthusiastically signed up.

Who doesn't want to move bricks under the hands of Paul Allen.

Carlisle did not interview the teaching assistant in the office, but chose the golf course.

He doesn't want to affect the interviewer's performance because the interview atmosphere is too serious.

The interview started on the third day after Carlisle took office. On the first day, many people came.

The next day, there are still many.

On the third day, there were fewer people.

On the fourth day, there was only one person on the interview list, and the name of this person surprised Carlisle.

In the afternoon, Carlisle was playing golf while waiting for this special interviewer.

Finally, at a quarter past three in the afternoon, a chubby body wobbled in.

Carlisle swallowed, he was nervous...

Well, as an interviewer, he was nervous!

"Yo, hahaha, Rick! Haven't seen him for many years! My God, you have so little hair now!" The visitor greeted Carlisle very intimately, and then opened his arms to embrace him.

"Uh..." Carlisle was speechless, I am an interviewer, no big or small!

"How is it? How are the results of the interview these days?" The visitor sat down relaxedly and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Fortunately, there are a few good candidates." Carlisle shrugged.

"Fuck, that means I don't have a chance?"

"It's not necessarily, Charles, it depends on your performance today. But I said, why would you suddenly want to apply for an assistant coach?"

Carlisle also sat down and chatted with his old acquaintance, the most special interviewer today.

Well, Charles Barkley, Sir Flying Pig, appeared in the interview on the fourth day.

Carlisle and Barkley are indeed familiar, because they both entered the league in 1984.

And after only eight games in the NBA, Barkley and Carlisle met for the first time.

At the time, Barkley and Carlisle were just small players on the team.

The protagonists of that game are Dr. J and Bird.

On that day, Bird performed well and beat Dr. J to the point of not being vulgar.

In the third quarter, Bird had already scored 36 points, and Dr. J had only a miserable 6 points.

With his character, would he let go of this opportunity to pretend to be a beep?

As a result, the big beep kept babbling in Dr. J's ear: "36 to 6, 36 to 6, 36 to 6..."

Later, Dr. J couldn't help it, and a conflict broke out with Bird.

It was too late to say that it was fast, only to see a No. 34 fat-butt and bald head on the 76ers rushed up and held Bird with his throat, while Moses Malone held the other side.

Then Dr. J stood up and punched the big beeping bird hard in the face.

A wave of three-person combos made Da Biao very embarrassed.

Later, it was the Celtics players who arrived in time to save the big beeping bird.

It is worth mentioning that when the Celtics rescued people, almost everyone suppressed Moses Malone and Dr. J, but Barkley didn't care.

Just as he was embarrassed, a white guy came over and gave him a push.

The two rookies looked at each other and resolved the embarrassment of not knowing what to do.

That white guy is Carlisle.

This incident is one of the few cases where Bird was beaten in the history of pretending to be.

What's more sturdy is that for such a big conflict, no one was suspended or fined afterwards...

I have to say that the NBA at that time was indeed quite "friendly"!

It’s no wonder that some people say that Wayne can exert all his strength in the 80s and 90s...

In the current alliance, he can't do anything.

Since then, Barkley has admired Carlisle. Although the two people don't meet each other deeply, they can't meet each other.

Later he retired, Carlisle became a coach, and Barkley joined the TV station. Barkley still stood up more than once to support Carlisle.

When he was fired by the Pistons, he backed Carlisle.

When questioned by the outside world, he backed Carlisle.

But Carlisle never expected that if he hired an assistant, Barkley would come to join him.

"How come you suddenly apply for a teaching assistant? Hehe, do you think I thought it? Isn't it happy that I drink coke and donuts at home every day?

Damn, it's not that group of young people from the Dream Team are not up for it. Hey, think back then, when our generation played in the Olympics, then..."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm holding back my pretense. I can hear the calluses of your stories." Carlisle hurriedly stopped, or Barkley would spend an hour next to tell how he played in the Olympics Angola players in the elbow.

"If I remember correctly, you bet you are coming back in the NBA. Why are you applying for an assistant coach now?"

"Hurt, that's why I said you. Come back as an assistant coach...Why is he not a comeback?

I didn't say that I would come back as a player. I came back as a coach, just like in the NBA. "

Carlisle: ...

You are fat and you are reasonable.

Speaking of which, Lord Barge is also an old man.

I think when he and Kenny Smith bet on the pro-ass, they weren’t actually betting on the pro-ass ass, but on the pro-Kenny Smith’s ass.

As a result, Barkley lost, and Kenny Smith was also stupid.

You are willing to kiss...I am not willing to kiss you yet!

In the end, the two of them combined and found a donkey named Kenny, and then they had the famous scene of kissing the **** of the donkey.

So although Lord Bart fulfilled his promise, he actually used his little brain to play a trick.

It seems that this time, Lord Barge is going to continue to shame in this way.

Well, anyway, I didn't say to come back as a player, what can I do if you can!

"If you are jokes, forget it, Charles. No one cares about this promise. Everyone knows you are joking." Carlisle shook his head. I don't have time to waste with you Lord Barge. Time.

But after Carlisle said this, Buckley suddenly lost his smile.

"What am I doing? Since I dare to come, it means I'm serious.

I, Charles Barkley, is there any joke?

You comrade, the problem is very serious right now, and you will bury others.

Let me tell you, I actually thought about being a coach when I retired.

After all, you know that uncultured athletes like us have very limited options after retirement, but I can’t just stay at home like this, right?

Therefore, I did seriously consider the transition to coaching.

But why did I choose a TV station in the end?

Because the annual salary of current players is too high! 20 million, 30 million or even 40 million later!

Look at Wayne, the first contract extension is equivalent to the money Michael made from playing for his entire career.

So I'm not sure how hard they work, and I don't know if they still have the kind of heart to strive for the first after making a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, if I coach a team, they may not meet my requirements, and I will definitely quarrel or fight with them crazy.

Well, although most players may not be able to beat me, I know I definitely can’t understand those brats.

Rather than mad at myself, I might as well go to the TV station to watch football and still have money to get.

This is why I am not coaching.

But now, I only have this option. You know me, I don't want others to look down on me.

and......"

Barkley paused for about five or six seconds before uttering the last sentence: "...Moreover, after watching the Olympics, I think Wayne is one of the few now, and he still wants to become Great player.

I have always been curious about him and curious about his team.

Now if I have a chance to join Wayne's team, I will not miss it.

I hope...Damn, I've never been great, so I want to help someone I admire to become great!

So, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I came prepared, Rick! "

Lord Barge became serious, don't look at this beep, he usually laughs, but he sees many things very thoroughly.

He once warned young players to study hard, only reading can let you do what you want to do, so that you can live without basketball.

He once warned young players not to be stunned by desire and to plan for the future. Your money is really not endless forever.

He once said that he never discusses sports with black children. His goal is to convince young people that they have a better chance of becoming a doctor than entering the NBA.

Because he knows that among so many black children, those who have recently entered the NBA or can rely on basketball for food are only a small number of them.

And most of those who didn't play basketball and didn't study hard, they can only live on the streets.

Barkley is a real thinker, so he has thought about coming to the interview for a long time.

He didn't want to just go to a team and be a clown on a short 10-day contract.

Since you want to come back and return to the NBA, you have to do something practical!

Carlisle did not expect Barkley to be so serious, so he quickly corrected his attitude and chatted with Barkley about the team.

Carlisle and Barkley, both because Wayne chose the Blazers...

To Carlisle's surprise, Barkley did a lot of homework and made a lot of useful suggestions.

The most important thing is that Barkley is indeed the kind of assistant coach who can go off the court to guide the players.

In the end, the two had a very pleasant chat and ended the meeting with laughter.

After the meeting, Barkley, who had a good chat, stood up and stretched, then picked up the golf club on the ground.

"Oh, how about the whole golf? To tell you the truth, I have improved my skills a lot in the past few years." As he said, Lord Bart picked up the club and stood by the golf ball.

Carlisle looked at Barkley, still thinking about the content of the chat.

At this time, Lord Barge made a swing.

He swings hard, but pauses for a second or two when he is about to hit the ball, like Hayes' free throw.

Then, Barkley used his force again, with a strong wave!

"boom!"

"Fuck!" Carlisle was stunned, because...

I saw that the ball, even with the tuft of turf on the ground, was directly hit by Barkley, leaving only a big hole on the ground!

Is this Nima playing golf? You are paving the ground!

Well, now Carlisle knows why his swing is called "the ugliest swing in history" by the American media.

Lord Barge really deserves his reputation!

"Hey, it feels bad today, it doesn't feel very good..." After playing, Barkley threw the cue and shook his head.

With a wave of his sleeves, only a big hole was left.

After four days, Carlisle ended his assistant coach interview.

After that, Carlisle thought for two more days.

At this time, the time has come to September, and the start of the pre-season training camp is getting closer and closer, and the coaching staff must also arrange a training plan for the pre-season training camp.

Therefore, it cannot be delayed any longer.

After thinking for two days, Carlisle told Patterson his decision.

In early September, the Trail Blazers officially announced that the champion coach of the University of Florida Alligators, Billy Donovan, became the assistant coach of the Trail Blazers.

Billy Donovan just led the team to win the NCAA championship in 2007. At that time, he had the idea of ​​coaching the NBA and signed a five-year contract with the Magic.

But in the end, Donovan parted ways after only half a month after signing with the Magic because of disagreements between the two sides.

In the contract at the time, the Magic added a very **** inter-industry prohibition clause, which meant that Donovan could not serve as the head coach of other NBA teams within five years. If you want to stay in the NBA as a head coach, you can only coach the Magic!

No way, he can only return to NCAA to continue coaching.

But now, a year later, Donovan still doesn't hold back. He longs for the NBA and longs to coach the world's highest level basketball game.

Therefore, he applied for an assistant coach for the Trail Blazers and was ready to try the water in the NBA for a few years as an assistant coach.

The addition of Donovan surprised people. Everyone didn't expect that this guy would be willing to accept the status of assistant coach.

After all, Donovan has been the head coach since 1994 and has been a head coach for 14 years now.

Not everyone is willing to lay down and become an assistant.

If Billy Donovan's joining is just a surprise, then another candidate for the Trail Blazers assistant coach can only be described as shock.

"In addition, the Trail Blazers also officially signed a one-year contract with Charles Barkley. Barkley will join the coaching staff as an assistant coach next season!"

Well, when most people see this news, the first thing they do is to look at the date.

Today is not April Fool's Day either!

The second thing is to question the authenticity of this news.

Then the fans discovered that the official website of the Trail Blazers also had this news.

This Nima...

Barkley is so funny than going to the Trail Blazers as an assistant coach! ?

That night, Barkley also officially announced this in the program: "Today is the last time I recorded the program in the next year. As everyone knows, I fulfilled my promise and come back as an assistant coach in the NBA! How about! Kenny? Sir, when did I play it?

No matter how difficult it is, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can't fail the clever Charles! "

Kenny Smith is so stupid. Can anyone like Barkley be a coach in the NBA?

Smith admitted that he was a little jealous of Flying Pig.

Unlike Barkley, who was very comfortable on TV, Kenny Smith actually wanted to return to the NBA as a coach or management member in the past two years.

but......

No one has looked for him at all.

The results of it?

Lord Barrage has gotten a job as an assistant coach?

"Don't be surprised, Kenny. I, Barkley, always do what I say. You know that. For the next year, don't miss me too much."

As soon as this news came out, basketball fans all over the world were in an uproar.

Barkley as an assistant coach?

I'm afraid that I'm going to work with Wayne not on the training ground.

The other teams are also shivering. Are the trailblazers really all villains?

It used to be so fierce just for players to play, now even assistant coaches can play!

No way, Lord Bart's record is too dazzling.

His grandma told him since he was a child that if he was beaten, he must beat him back. So throughout his career, Barkley beat Lambir, just passed Oakley, and beat Rodman.

In the last season of his career, the 36-year-old Barkley also overturned the 27-year-old Shaq.

Danny Angie directly suspected that they signed Barkley to help in the fight!

This trick is vicious enough!

Wayne was also a little confused, what a...

Sir Flying Pig is coming?

Good deed, will you go sideways when you go out?

Wayne shook his head and looked at the sky.

In the new season, Birdman, Jordan, Tony, and Golan will add a flying pig.

Well, for the training camp of the new season, I suddenly look forward to it...
