"Since it's brainstorming, let me give you my personal opinion."

Chen Mu got up and glanced at Chicks, the teacher smiled and nodded, obviously not very touched by this slightly embarrassing scene, and even stretched out his right hand and waved it upward, as if encouraging Chen Mu to express his opinion.

This subtle action made Chen Mu look at Cheeks a little bit higher again, and couldn't help but sigh that in a top league like the NBA, everyone is indeed a professional. Even discussing the succession in front of oneself is probably a "big taboo" in China, but in the eyes of these professionals, it is just an ordinary process.

"I recommend Rick Carlisle."

Chen Mu said as soon as he said it, and all the players and shareholders, including Cheeks, were stunned, and then thought about it carefully, nodded slightly, and whispered to each other. From time to time, he also pointed at Chen Mu, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Coach Carlisle, well, the person with the most brilliant resume, is a sound choice." Stefansky also nodded frequently and said, "Can you tell me your reason?" ”

"Of course."

Chen Mu said: "The reason is very simple, I think Coach Carlisle will definitely become a generation of famous coaches in the future." ”

Chen Mu's words caused an uproar.

That's right, Carlisle does have a lot of talent, and in his role as a coach, he has shown his excellent vision and tactical acumen. Especially in the season when he led the Pacers to 61 wins, he kneaded the team into a whole, which attracted a lot of attention at that time.

But a generation of marshals?

Such a title is generally used in candidates such as Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Red Coats, and Jerry Sloan. Can Carlisle become a generation of famous coaches? This seems a bit exaggerated.

Carlisle's characteristics are very distinctive, and he has a very good ability to adjust for a team with a strong sense of integrity, especially a team with a strong support point on the inside, and can bring out the best talent of the team.

But Carlisle's weaknesses are also obvious, in terms of on-the-spot command and the discovery of offensive tactics, Carlisle is still a little immature. When he led the 61-win Pacers to face the Pistons. The Pacers are not without the slightest opportunity. Unfortunately, in some details, Carlisle lost to Larry Brown. Failed to grasp several key rounds and eventually lost to the Pistons 2-4.

Carlisle is still very young, and in fact he is second only to Frank among these candidates, he was born in 59 and is not yet 50 years old at this time, and as a coach, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. But to become a generation of famous marshals, only the three axes are not enough, and on-the-spot command is the most important yardstick to test the famous marshal.

The Philadelphia 76ers are a growing team, and so is the coach. It's a great idea to work together to lead the team to the top, but can it really be realized?

"Coach Carlisle is a good candidate, but he doesn't seem to be particularly good at the team's potential."

One shareholder frowned: "If you look at his resume, the Pistons won 50 wins in the first year, and the player should improve in theory in the second year, but it is still 50 wins." And after coming to the Pacers, they won 61 in their first year. Since then, the performance has been declining year by year. Although this is inseparable from the Auburn Hills Palace incident, it seems that Coach Carlisle does not have much experience in tapping the potential of players' abilities. ”

This shareholder's point of view is also the focus of concern in the hearts of many people present:

Judging by the resume. Carlisle's resume is undoubtedly the most exciting, even more dazzling than Frank's youngest 100 wins and rookie's 14-game winning streak. But what the 76ers need is a coach who can properly tap into the potential of young players, and with such a young roster structure, can Carlisle do the job?

"And now the Mavericks seem to be in contact with Carlisle. Compared to Dallas, our results in recent years have been unimpressive. Whether Carlisle will come is still unknown. Another shareholder worried.

"Don't worry about that."

Stefansky smiled and said, "Don't forget, what I'm here for. Although in the Nets a few years can not be said to be successful. But I still have confidence in the connections within the alliance. As long as you are optimistic about the candidates, contacts, contracts and other issues, I will handle them. ”

Stefansky's remarks reassured everyone, and shareholders and players discussed it fiercely, and there was a heated debate about whether Carlisle's style would suit the 76ers.

Opponents argue that Carlisle is not a potential-digging coach, whether it is the Pistons or the Pacers, and the two teams Carlisle has coached so far are teams that have formed a team lineup and the potential of the players has basically been realized. And he always played a strong record in the first year, which shocked the eyeballs.

However, on closer inspection, Carlisle does not seem to be able to reach their full potential when it comes to the young players in the squad. The most typical example is the Pistons' little prince Prince, who has changed from a versatile player to a defender and an empty cutter and three-point shooter under Carlisle's system, and there is still a discussion to this day about whether Prince will have a brighter future if he is given more room to play.

The 76ers have Chen Mu, Iguodala, Korver, and Lowry all in their formative years, and Carney and Milicic on the bench are also gold mines to be developed. Will Carlisle be able to put these young players to good use and make them All-Star level players in their own right?

Supporters believe that Carlisle's tactical system is based on defense, and the offensive adjustment is now on par with Cheeks. In time, it is not impossible for Carlisle to become a generation of famous coaches. If Carlisle can fit well with the team and bring more changes to the team on the offensive end, it will undoubtedly change the situation of the 76ers' lack of attackers and usher in a better future for the team.

The debate lasted for a long time, during which many shareholders and players stood up to express their opinions. Even Cheeks got up and made his point of view, believing that Carlisle's coaching style is indeed similar to his own, and that the players will be able to adapt more quickly, which is a good choice.

During the discussion, Chen Mu also expressed his thoughts from time to time. Compared with others, he has seen Carlisle become a new generation of tacticians in the Mavericks, and he is naturally more confident in his choice.

But Chen Mu can't convey this vision to the shareholders and players, and in the current situation, Carlisle is more like a luckyguy who has been lucky enough to have two fairly mature teams and have achieved good results one after another. And last season, the Pacers' failure to make the playoffs became Carlisle's biggest failure.

"Even if there are a lot of changes to the roster, which brings some coaching difficulties, but in the East last season, we were able to break into the playoffs, but the Pacers couldn't do it, which really shouldn't be." Here's what one shareholder said.

As the discussion continued, several other coaches were also taken to the stage for a detailed interpretation. In the end, Hollins, a coach with no formal coaching experience at all, was the first to be ruled out.

Then there's Eddie Jordan, who would certainly improve Iguodala and Lowry if he comes to Philadelphia, but his shortcomings in the use of interior players are also obvious. The 76ers are Chen Mu's team, and they are building a lineup with Chen Mu as the core, if the future coach can't properly arrange tactics for Chen Mu, isn't it a joke?

For the same reason, Frank, who had not worked with a star-level insider, was also eliminated, and the result of the discussion was still Carlisle's absolute advantage.

What a sharp eye......!

As the results of the discussion became clearer, Stefansky looked at Chen Mu more and more.

This Chinese kid, as rumored, not only has infinite potential to become a cornerstone-level superstar, but also has top vision and prediction.

In my future work, it seems necessary to listen more to the opinions of Chinese boys.

"Okay, then the goal is basically clear."

After the discussion faded down, Stefansky concluded his argument by saying, "Rick Carlisle, his first target is our first target. I'm going to do everything I can to convince him to come to Philadelphia, and if not, Lawrence, I've worked with him for years, and now he's not having a good time with the Nets, I'm still confident that I'll poach him. ”

Stefansky's style is completely different from that of the gloomy Billikin, the fat white man is always happy, and his words are quite decisive and categorical, but they exude a leisurely confidence. The first official appearance in front of the players, won the favor of many players.

"Thank you very much for your honesty and generosity, Coach Cheeks, Philadelphia's results today are inseparable from your efforts. If we have the opportunity, we hope to work together again in the near future. ”

After saying the key things, Stefansky did not forget to turn back and comfort Cheeks. Cheeks was also quite moved when he heard this, smiled and nodded, and his favor for Stefansky increased a little.

"The meeting is over, I have a lot of work to do, haha!"

Regardless of whether the shareholders had anything else to say, Stefansky directly announced the end of the meeting, and then walked to Chen Mu's side generously and said, "Chen, can you please stay for a while, I want to communicate with you in private." ”

"No problem."

After greeting Iguodala and others, Chen Mu stayed at the venue, and after everyone else left, Stefansky happily sat next to Chen Mu and said in a friendly voice: "I am new here, and I hope to cooperate happily in the future." ”

"Definitely." Chen Mu responded.

"The reason for keeping you here is simple." Stefansky took out a document from the inner pocket of his suit, unfolded it in front of Chen Mu, and said with a smile: "I read the draft list you gave last offseason, and your vision is really sharp, so ......"

"What do you think of this year's draft?" (To be continued......)

PS: Our Xiao Chen is going to make a big move!
