Chapter 39: New coach

　　 The first thing the 76ers have to solve is their coaching position.
　　 According to the informal meeting at the dinner table that day, the 76ers’ general manager now chooses the following principles:
　　 1. Newcomer.
　　 2. Worked as an assistant coach next to a certain old coach or as a player.
　　3. Finally, I have some experience on the offensive end, such as being a shooting coach.
　　 Applying these conditions, there are not many in the league that meet the requirements.
　　 However, there are still a few people who can be shortlisted, at least in Han Miao's mind, there are currently three places.
No. 1 candidate, Steve Kerr, born in 1965, famous three-pointer, commander of the future Warriors, the only person (player + coach) with 72 wins or more in two single seasons in his career, and the second People who have won two championships on both teams! (Bull and Spurs)
　　 At the same time, he is still Popovich’s disciple, and this guy is currently active in the commentary booth.
　　 No. 2 candidate, Jeff Hornacek, born in 1963, was the same famous pitcher as a player and enjoyed the honor of retiring the jersey. He is the kind of average physical but very smart player. In 2004, the Green Army almost made him the head coach!
　　 Hornacek is currently a shooting coach for the Jazz, giving Sloan a hand. Although later generations did not perform well as a coach, Hornacek won with a very beautiful daughter who is the national father-in-law of the NBA.
The No. 3 candidate, Brad Stevens, was born in 1976. He is only 34 years old this year. A very young rookie who was also a player (non-professional), but he has not coached in the NBA. However, he Now the head coach of Butler University! In other words, this year, the Butler coach who commanded Haywood and scored 25 consecutive victories and defeated Duke with the last two points is him!
　　 The famous "Young Marshal" of the Green Army!
The 76ers' general manager also successfully added these three to the consideration list, but because these three have their own advantages and disadvantages, and he can’t be like Han Miao to know the future record of these three as coaches. Suddenly, the 76ers' manager was a bad choice.
　　唔... When there is no choice, the 76ers' general manager has his own way, that is, to give the right to choose to God-lottery.
　　 Maybe it's because Han Miao was chosen this way, so the 76ers general manager is very addicted to this method and can't extricate himself.
So, first take out 15 pieces of paper and write the names of these three people on average, then crumple the paper into a ball and place it in a box, then reach out and dig it out. Anyway, the 76ers’ general manager has made up his mind and will dig it out later. Who is it? Who is it!
　　 After a while, he finally took out a paper ball from it. After opening it, the name on it made the 76ers' general manager smile again like a chrysanthemum.
　　 God really takes care of the 76ers!
　　 Then, go meet this "chosen man" next!
　　……
　　 A few days later, Butler University, Indiana.
　　 Brad Stevens is a very ambitious young man. He actually took a small school with only about 4,000 people to the palace of the national college men's basketball finals!
　　 Although it is said that Hayward is a pretty good genius, Stevens's ability cannot be ignored. In addition, he is very young, which indeed brings a different vitality to Butler University.
　　 However, today, this young head coach is facing an important life choice.
"Mr. Stevens, I came personally. It should represent our highest sincerity. I know that you are very unwilling to lose Duke in the finals. But IMHO, after losing Hayward, next year you can Not being able to re-enter the finals is still unknown (but historically, Stevens really did make it in the second year!), but now, there is a chance to prove your talent on a larger and better stage, what do you have The reason for rejection?"
　　 Yes, the general manager of a team came in person and offered a 6-year contract of $22 million (the real contract given to him by the Green Army in history)! It is indeed difficult for Stevens to refuse. It really requires a lot of courage to be able to pay a rookie coach with an annual salary of close to 4 million!
　　 And they are right. The NBA is a bigger stage, which can better show their own strength. At the same time, they have expressed absolute trust in themselves. If you refuse at this time, is it a bit shameless?
And he is no stranger to the 76ers. The Chinese kid he met in the quarterfinals is this year’s second-place Han Miao, a good friend of his apprentice Hayward, and should now be their new internal core. Every coach likes to bring players. They have the strength and know manners. They also respect the coaches for not playing big names, and they can drive teammates to improve together. If this year Butler University had Han Miao and Shanghai Ward, they would have been Champion, where is Duke?
"Mr. Stevens, you should know that we also selected Han Miao. You know the abilities and character of this amazing boy~EbookFREE.me~ You can definitely achieve a perfect fit. What are you hesitating about? What?"
　　 "Okay, I promise you, but I hope you can help me in exchange for this player. I think he is very suitable for the current team, and he fits perfectly with our new core!"
　　 Stevens can be regarded as a determined person. The golden age of his 30s is a good time for a man to work hard. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind!
　　 "Huh... this person, although it's a bit difficult, but it should be possible. Well, I will use this as a gift to you this new coach."
Successfully won the second "chosen man" (the one caught by lottery, the first was Han Miao), which made the 76ers' general manager feel very good, and the person Stevens proposed was nothing. A special big-name star, but a rookie that everyone is familiar with. Although the draft is quite high, but with the current state of the Sixers' young talents getting together, there is no problem in changing him.
Doing so can give the new coach confidence, secondly make the lineup more reasonable, and thirdly make the team's new core happy. This kind of thing that kills three birds with one stone, the 76ers manager said that if I don't do it, God will Punish me.
"Then, I hope we have a good cooperation, Mr. Stevens! Oh no, it's Coach Stevens!" The 76ers' general manager is very satisfied with his job today. In his opinion, since everything has obeyed God's will, He seems to work from time to time. If this goes on, it seems that he can blend in with the best manager selection at the end of the year!
　　 "Happy cooperation, general manager."
　　 Stevens also stood up and shook hands with the general manager. This shook formally announced the new head coach of the 76ers, and the young marshal who will be famous in the future is in place!
