Half a month later, at the Nets 'training center.
The new Nets finally gathered and began their preparations for the preseason.
After Wang Ran's operation, the team had been renewed.
More than half of the team were newcomers.
Center forward: Embiid, Wood
Power forwards: Scola, Landry
Small Forward: Covington
Shooting guards: Joe Harris, Lovell
Point guards: Rose, Lin Shuhao, Ding Weidi
There were also some fringe players with two-way contracts.
The talent of these players alone was enough to get the Nets into the playoffs.
However, Wang Ran's goal was not just to enter the playoffs.
The championship was Wang Ran's only goal.
"We have to find a manager for the team.”
Looking at the players training in the stadium, Wang Ran rubbed his chin and muttered.
Some of the existing excellent managers had basically signed contracts with the team.
Wang Ran wasn't interested in those that were too bad.
I have a headache
Wang Ran took the pad and checked the managers and styles of each team.
When he saw the warrior, Wang Ran's heart suddenly quivered.
The reason why the Warriors were so strong now was not because of Steve Kerr alone.
In Wang Ran's opinion, the former head coach of the Warriors, Nelson Sr., was the creator of the current style of play.
Back then, the Warriors had displayed an amazing offensive performance. They had even played the Black Eight miracle and destroyed the arrogant Mavericks in the regular season.
"Old Nelson!"
Wang Ran smiled. He had a goal in mind.
When it came to offense, most people would think of D'Antoni.
But in Wang Ran's heart, Nelson was a level higher than D'Antoni.
Nelson's run-and-gun system was tailored to his students. His offensive style in the Mavericks and the Warriors was completely different.
And D'Antoni
It seemed that he only knew one move.
If D'Antoni did not have a defender like Nash to control the field, it would be difficult to execute a beautiful attack.
And Nash was trained by Old Nelson!
Moreover, D'Antoni's defense was difficult to explain in a few words.
But Old Nelson was different.
He was simply a tactical research maniac!
Moreover, he was full of banditry and could greatly stimulate the combat effectiveness of the entire team.
In Old Nelson's team, as long as you had talent, you could perform extremely well.
In Wang Ran's opinion, Old Nelson was indeed the most suitable manager for him.
The old man seemed to have retired to grow vegetables. It seemed that he had to go there personally to persuade this old man.
Without much hesitation, Wang Ran asked the secretary to book the plane tickets.
......
A few hours later, Wang Ran appeared at a farm.
Next to a shed, a fat, white-haired old Nelson was lying on a recliner smoking.
"Reporter? I don't accept interviews."
Old Nelson glanced at the young Wang Ran, closed his eyes, and blew out smoke rings.
"I'm not a reporter. I'm the general manager of the Brooks Nets, Wang Ran.”
"I'm here because I hope you can join the Nets and become their head coach.”
Wang Ran went straight to the point.
"Manager?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested.”
"I've already retired. I don't plan to touch basketball-related matters anymore.”
Old Nelson waved his hand.
Wang Ran smiled. He knew that this matter would not be so easy.
However, Wang Ran came prepared.
Before coming here, Wang Ran had learned that Old Nelson had a bad temper and was a little conceited.
If she wanted to convince him, she had to start with his personality.
"The Warriors have been on a roll for the past few years!”
"People say Steve Kerr is the best coach in the history of the Warriors.”
"Mr. Nelson, what do you think?”
Wang Ran asked with a smile.
"Steve Cole?"
" Best coach in the history of the Warriors?"
Old Nelson immediately sat up.
This statement made him a little unhappy!
The style and playstyle of the Warriors were created by him!
Even the current star player of the Warriors, Curry, was trained and reused by Nelson.
The star player of the Warriors back then was Monta Ellis.
In order to support Curry, Old Nelson decisively abandoned Monta Ellis.
This decision was questioned by many people at the time.
However, Curry quickly proved himself with his actions!
The Warriors 'small ball style was also based on old Nelson's tactics.
Therefore, the Warriors 'current achievements were largely due to Nelson.
When he heard others say that the credit for the Warriors was Cole's, Nelson was a little unhappy.
"Just that young lad, Steve Cole, you can give me any playoffs team and I can beat him!”
Old Nelson said with an unconvinced look.
There was some exaggeration in his words, but it was Old Nelson's character to not admit defeat.
