"Dennis, congratulations."

"As for thanking me, that's not necessary. Even without me, you will become the coach of a certain team."

Combs is sincerely happy for Dennis Johnson.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Dennis would have taken over as Clippers coach this season after Gentry was fired.

Of course, he didn't last long as the Clippers coach.

Dennis Johnson happily took office, while Combe was troubled by Brian Hill.

The four top assistant coaches he recruited before, but now Bread and Dennis are gone, and Hill, the chief assistant coach, is no longer interested.

"Brian, how about you submit more resumes?"

"In the blink of an eye, you have been my assistant coach for two years."

"How about I recommend it to you? Piston?"

Kongbu came to Hill and asked.

Hill sighed and shook his head, "There's no need for that. I've just let it go now."

"Some people are born not suitable to be a head coach or a leader. From now on, I will just be an assistant coach under you."

"Actually, it's not bad to be a teaching assistant, especially if you're your teaching assistant, at least you won't have so many worries."

"I don't have to worry about the team's record, whether I can make it to the playoffs, and I don't have to worry about getting fired. I still get a salary of $800,000 a year. There is no better job in the world."

Brian Hill seems to have accepted his fate and is ready to work under Combo until he is old.

…

After playing against the Los Angeles Clippers, Combs continued to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to face the Boston Celtics at home.

Former Greencaps coach Rick Pitino has resigned, and his replacement is his assistant Jim O'Brien.

Pitino entered the NBA almost at the same time as Combs. One was a super-famous coach in the NCAA, and the other was an unknown. A few years later, Pitino was unable to stay in the NBA, and Combs was

I feel more and more proud of the spring breeze.

"Kong, long time no see. As a Philadelphian, I'm very happy to see the 76ers so strong."

Green Kai's new coach O'Brien greeted Kongbu politely after seeing him.

He is a native of Philadelphia, and later he served as the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers for a period of time.

Speaking of coach O'Brien, he is not a very standard academic coach. He has never had any outstanding results in the coaching profession.

In the 1980s, he coached an NCAA Division II team and only managed 10 wins in two seasons. With his qualifications, he was not qualified to join Pitino's coaching staff.

Not to mention now being the head coach of an NBA team.

He looks like a lucky guy, but he is not. O'Brien has an amazing background. His father-in-law is Hall of Fame coach Jack Ramsey!

Ramsey is very legendary. He is the founding father of the Philadelphia 76ers. When the 76ers were founded in the 1960s, Ramsey was the first general manager, and then began to serve as the coach as well, leading the 76ers that year to defeat

The Lakers, who have LOGO men West, Baylor and coach Chamberlain.

From this point of view, Combu is definitely Ramsey's descendant.

Later, he coached the Trail Blazers in 1977 and helped the Trail Blazers win the only championship trophy in team history.

Before Jackson, Riley and Popovich, Ramsey was actually the most successful coach after Cardinal Auerbach.

After retiring from the coaching profession, he turned to the broadcasting profession. He is now the resident commentator for the Philadelphia 76ers and will be at the game tonight.

In addition, from 1996 to 2013, his commentary voice could be heard in all NBA finals.

For such a hardcore coach, it doesn't seem to be difficult for his son-in-law to join Pitino's coaching staff.

In addition, if you look closely at O'Brien's coaching career trajectory, you will know how much this guy relies on his father-in-law.

After being fired as coach of Greencap, he coached the Philadelphia 76ers for one season, and then coached the Pacers for a while.

It just so happens that these teams are all teams that Ramsey has been at the helm of.

The reason why he did not go to coach the Trail Blazers was because the relationship between Ramsey and the Trail Blazers was very tense. The Blazers even did not want to retire Ramsey's jersey if they were not under pressure from public opinion.

"Jim, the last time I saw you was at Mr. Ramsay's birthday party."

"I didn't expect that within a few months, you would have taken over from Pitino."

O'Brien was also filled with emotion, "Yes, this alliance truly explains what business is."

"Kong, what do you think of the deal we made with the Bulls?"

"I mean we traded Eric Snow for their second overall pick, Jay Williams."

Kongbu slapped his forehead, something bad happened. He casually mentioned some team building ideas to the Bulls before, but he didn't expect that he indirectly harmed Jim O'Brien in front of him.

If Snow is replaced by Jay, isn't that definitely a loss of blood?

However, Kongbu was too embarrassed to tell O'Brien directly. He could only clear his throat and said with a smile: "Snow is considered a veteran after all, and his technical characteristics have considerable limitations. In a different future, there are endless possibilities."

Second place on the list, sounds like a good deal.”

Jay Williams does have endless possibilities. Who would have thought that he would be disabled while riding a motorcycle after his rookie season?

"With your words, I feel completely relieved."

"Kong, let's have a drink together after the game is over. You are a busy man now. It's not easy to make an appointment with you."

"Just call Jack. We won't get home until we get drunk tonight."

The Jack O'Brien talks about is actually his father-in-law Jack Ramsey.

…

Not long after, the game on the field was about to begin.

When Kongbu saw Lukai's lineup coming onto the court, he couldn't help it.

"Dayao, come here."

Calling Yao Ming to his side as he was about to play, Kongbu asked him to bend down and he had something to say.

"Do you still remember the three-pointers I asked you to shoot in a few games before?"

Kongbu laughed mysteriously.

Yao Ming nodded, "Of course I remember, that feeling will never be forgotten in my life."

"You won't be able to vote again tonight, will you?"

"Good guy, I have to have a great time shooting. I have to make at least 20 three-pointers tonight!"

Yao Ming still remembers those three-pointers in those games. As an extremely traditional center, he has the opportunity to shoot three-pointers recklessly on the court, which is a different kind of fun.

"If you really want to vote, let's talk about it some time later."

"There are more important things tonight. I have a hunch that you have a good chance of winning a quadruple-double tonight. You have to seize it."

God Kongbu said nonchalantly, like a magic stick.

Yao Ming was dumbfounded. Could he have predicted this?

"What's the basis? Coach, isn't your premonition a bit too far-fetched?"

"Of course there is evidence. Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"Did you see the player you played against tonight? Tony Barty, what's his nickname? Brother Badi!"

"Playing against a player like him, no matter how hard you block shots, you will definitely get ten blocks!"

Kongbu came right away and directly gave Barty the nickname Badi.

But if we really talk about it, Tony Barty really has the essence of Brother Ba. As long as I don’t do anything, I won’t make any mistakes. It’s not wrong to call him Brother Ba.

As the fifth pick in 1997, Batty has played in the league for several years, averaging five or six points and five or six rebounds per game. His defensive data is less than 1 block and 0.5 steals per game.

Judging from the statistics, he really did nothing. He was not good at offensive defense or rebounding.

But he can still play in various teams, and he is still stable. Of course, it is not without reason.

The most important reason is his turnover rate. His average number of turnovers per game is less than one!

As a center player, and a regular one, it is extremely rare to average less than one turnover per game.

Normally, a super insider like O'Brien would have between 2.5 and 3 turnovers. Yao Ming's turnovers would be a little more than three, and Karl Malone's average turnovers in many seasons would reach four.

But Ba Di is ridiculous. He can't do much on the court, and he can't do anything offensively, defensively or rebounding. But he doesn't make mistakes, which is very popular with the coach.

Against an insider like Ba Di, Yao Ming's statistics are definitely not much different.

However, it is obviously impossible to get double figures in blocks from Batty. Kongbu mentioned Batty to Yao Ming just casually.

Whether Yao Ming can block double figures tonight depends not on Batty, but on Batty's inside partner, Fathead Walker.

Walker and Batty are two completely different extremes.

Walker can do everything on the court, but he makes a lot of turnovers, easily averaging more than four turnovers per game.

Tonight, Yao Ming used Manute Bol's one-day experience card. As long as Walker performs normally, Yao Ming has a good chance of winning a quadruple-double.
