Chapter 118: The Nine-crown Coach's Difficulties
"Phil, why bother?" Jim Bass thought that Phil Jackson would use many ways to establish authority after returning to the team. He did not expect that the other party would be so disrespectful and attack him in public.
Jackson had a sharp look under his reading glasses, and he was particularly sensitive to the management's behavior of approaching the players.
"Jim, you have to leave, you are not a player, you don't hold a position in the coaching staff, you are not a staff member of the arena, there is no justification for you to show up here. Your mission has been completed, and the rest has nothing to do with you." Jackson's eyes pointed at Buss Little like an eagle's eyes, "You have to avoid it."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavier.
No one could have thought that the Zen master suddenly attacked.
Wei Xia sighed in her heart, I am another team with a disagreement between the coaching staff and the management? The confrontation between Buss and Zen Master reminded him of Isaiah Thomas and Larry Brown.
No, Jackson is much stronger than Brown.
Brown was at least given Thomas a step, and Jackson was about to expel Buss on the spot.
"The rest has nothing to do with me?" The Zen master's mean and straightforward words made Bus Jr. unbearable. "The scouting department is directly responsible to me. I have dug up all the newcomers of the Lakers. Now you say it has nothing to do with me?"
The more angry Bus Jr. is, the more confident Jackson is.
His voice was gentle, but his words were merciless: "The scout department and the coaching team performed their respective duties. Although our scouts were directly responsible to you, have you tracked the players for a long time? If not, how can you say that the new players were discovered by you? Jim, on behalf of the coaching team, I thank you for your efforts, but your mission has ended here. Please avoid it. Whether you represent the management or the scouting department, the next thing has nothing to do with you. If you don't accept it, you can ask Dr. Bath. If he thinks you should appear here, I will be absolutely fine."
Little Buss's anger cannot be more obvious.
He was originally a noble young man who was pampered and could play with women, but he was a good match for his family. He argued with the Zen master about the duties of the court, and was definitely not his strength. He was about to be arrogant, but General Manager Mickey Kupchek appeared in fact and persuaded Bus to stop him.
In a whisper, Buss was convinced.
He stared at the Zen master fiercely, leaving a cold snorted and left the Toyota Center.
The figure of Bus Jr.'s departure reminds many people how the Lakers' godfather Jerry West stepped down.
Needless to say, West's achievements are needed, he has created two Lakers dynasties with outstanding achievements. The Zen master was able to get off the Bulls and then come to the Lakers, which was also his strong recommendation. The Zen master did not regard the logo man as a mentor, but instead developed the Bulls' team/management separation policy on the Lakers. He usually disconnected from the relationship between players and management, and showed his power at critical moments, so that West, who was preparing to take the bus with the players, got out like the little Bus just now.
That was the Zen master of the past, and now he was invited back by the Lakers, and after the failed season where the Lakers could not even enter the playoffs.
No one knows how many benefits did Old Bass promise when he asked him to return.
But one thing is obvious. In the eyes of Zen masters, Bass, who has been in charge of the Lakers for a year, is no longer a threat.
"Wish, can you start?" Jackson asked.
Wei Xia tried her best to dispel what had just happened from her mind, "How to start?"
The Lakers' trial of Wei Xia is not complicated. There is no well-known static talent test and dynamic talent test. All the arrangements they arranged for Wei Xia are related to technology.
They tested Wei Xia's three-pointer with the ball, three-pointer with the ball, three-pointer after running and mid-range shots in each area.
Wei Xia's mid-range shooting performance was OK, but her three-pointers were not as good as that.
"Wish was not good at shooting three-pointers during college. His advantages were running without the ball and energy-filled defense." Hamberlain whispered from the side.
The Zen master has experienced too many successes.
From John Paxson of the First Bulls, B.J. Armstrong; Ron Hubble and Steve Cole of the Second Bulls; Brian Shaw of the OK dynasty, Derek Fisher—it can be seen that Zen masters do not need how comprehensive the guards in the team have.
These people are either able to shoot, or have good control and can shoot, or have tall figures, strong defensive and compressible but not accurate. Whether they can shoot is not the most important thing. The key is whether they have available skills.
Secondly, he has a competitive layup training with the ball. The person who is a trainer is Xiao, and his confrontation is restrained, and it is enough to get the meaning.
Wei Xia made a layup back and forth between the half and easily completed the layup.
"Can you do it again?" Jackson asked.
Wei Xia had no problem, so he continued.
Xiao strengthened the confrontation, but Wei Xia's rebound was more violent than he thought.
The matchmaking layups were scored by Wei Xia, who had been tangled back and forth, and all of them were hit.
"I want to watch it again," Jackson said tirelessly.
From beginning to end, Wei Xia only answered in two words: "Yes."
Three times, four times, five times... On the sixth time, Brian Shaw couldn't bear it anymore, so he changed someone.
No matter how many times the Zen master wanted to read it, Wei Xia would never refuse. He sweated more and more heavily and seemed to be tired.
Just one layup with the ball and the ball is back and forth, and in the event of confrontation, the consumption is much greater than that of the usual layup training.
The Zen master repeatedly asked Wei Xia to do a set of training 50 times.
In other words, he ran back and forth in front of the Lakers' coaching staff for 50 times. If it weren't for the on-site sparring training, the Zen master might have asked to continue.
After the seventh man was tired and collapsed on the ground, the Zen master looked around and found that no one could call him, so he said, "Let's go to the next test."
What did Phil Jackson want to do? Wei Xia didn't understand. He was too lazy to figure it out. No matter what he wanted to do, he would do it as long as he could.
Jackson had a full 4 hours of trial training that could have ended in 2 hours.
It was obvious to everyone that he just wanted to make things difficult for Wei Xia and see when his physical strength would bottom out.
Today is a disaster-like day for the coaching assistants and trainers.
They were forced to accept the orders of the Zen master and fight with Wei Xia. From 2 pm to 6 pm, everyone lay down. Wei Xia didn't even drink saliva, but was shirtless, sweating and raining on her body, and her eyes were full of courage and looked at the coach Jiuguan: "Please give me instructions, don't be polite."
He was so humble and arrogant throughout the whole process, and endured Jackson's troubles.
No, it is not that he has always been neither humble nor arrogant. The phrase "Don't be polite" more or less reflects his views on the Zen master.
Jackson said indifferently: "Let's just end here, wish, goodjob!"
