Wang Shuo, who had a great conversation with Mike Brown, asked the Wizards management to go through the process that day, and the contract was formulated and the signing matters were determined with him.

The contract lasts for one year and the annual salary is $150,000 before tax.

Brown was very excited after signing the contract, and he kept thanking Wang Shuo.

Although an annual salary of $150,000 is only the entry level compared to the big names in the industry, this is still a considerable income for Brown, who has been in the NBA for many years.

Moreover, this also means that he, who has always yearned for the NBA coaching position, finally got the opportunity to make his mark.

Brown felt that he had met a noble man. After receiving the part of the team's advance payment, he immediately invited Wang Shuo to have a big meal.

In the next two days, Wang Shuo did not rush to get his gambling plan.

Instead, he asked the team management to help him contact another Mike who was still coaching at Manhattan College.

Mike Malone.

As a result, Malone, who just planned to submit her resume to the Knicks this summer to strive to be an NBA internship assistant coach, turned around and booked a plane ticket and flew to Washington without even thinking about it.

As the head coach who just won the NBA championship before Wang Shuo traveled through time, Ma Long is also good at defense.

Although his Westbrooker player rotation method has driven Nuggets fans crazy many times in major forums and post bars, his rich tactical knowledge reserves can also help Wang Shuo well without considering how players on the field rotate.

In addition, Ma Long is also very good at training insiders with certain organizational and support abilities.

Speaking of which, Wang Shuo's previous life, when Mike Brown was the Cavaliers' head coach, his assistant coach was Mike Malone.

In other words, these two are the loyal ministers who have assisted His Majesty the Emperor in the future.

Unlike Brown, who was humble and low-key, on the 6th, as soon as he met Ma Long, who had a loud voice, Wang Shuo felt a "American spirit guy" breath coming to his face.

To be honest, if Brown and Malone had changed positions in his original time and space, the ending of that cavalier might have been better.

Or in the same cafe.

After listening to the team's tactical framework described by Wang Shuo, Malone suggested to Wang Shuo: "If possible, we'd better transform Richard (Hamilton) into a three-pointer.

I've watched the Wizards' game last season, and Richard's ultra-long mid-range shots accounted for almost 60% of all his shots.

In my opinion, such an offensive choice is too inefficient."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo suddenly felt emotion.

Because compared with the old NBA coaches at this time, young coaches are indeed more willing to explore new content in the game.

In the future, after the league officially adopted the famous "no.handcheck" rules, many fans believed that it was the original "handcheck" that hindered the arrival of the three-point era.

But the problem is...

Didn’t Reggie Miller score 2,560 three-pointers under the constraints of the “handcheck” rule?

With Miller's physical fitness, no one really thinks that this rule has hindered the arrival of the three-point era, right?

Admittedly, the “handcheck” rule will allow defensive players to gain more advantage when defending, but it is not the fundamental reason that hinders the arrival of the three-point era.

In the new season, if the Wizards want Chef Qiao to feel at ease to make braised elbows at low posts, they must set up a turret on the outside.

Because only the three-dimensional offensive and attack system of "three points-two points-low post" can bring room for Boss Qiao.

So, even if Ma Long doesn't say it today, Wang Shuo will find a way to contact Hamilton in the near future.

As the "central shot king" familiar to NBA fans in the future, Hamilton's own shooting feel is very soft. As long as he can change slightly and adjust the shooting method, Wang Shuo will be confident that he will transform it into the Wizards version of Reggie Miller.

Of course, the training related to adjusting the shooting method cannot be completed overnight.

But who made the Wizards have a bad record this year?

What does it mean to have a poor Wizards record?

This means that the Wizards will spend more time practicing this summer than other teams.

So, in a sense, the Wizards' poor record this season also gave Wang Shuo more controllable space.

Moreover, Wang Shuo didn't need Hamilton to adjust it in one go.

Because the same sentence...

Instead of betting on the line and having two points, it is better to take a step back and the sky is wide.

In the new season, Hamilton must increase his firing outside the three-point line, which is for the team. At the same time, Wang Shuo also believes that Hamilton, who has trained three-pointers, will have a better future employment prospect than he remembers.

after all......

Just Hamilton's physical ability to run away and cry, as long as he thinks about Hamilton's future scene of Kobe on the court, Wang Shuo remembers the famous scene of Miller and Joe's boss back then.

Like Brown, after chatting with Malone for a morning, Wang Shuo invited him to join the coaching team of the Wizards in the new season.

However, Malone's salary is tens of thousands less than Brown, because Brown is the noble second assistant coach, while Malone is only the third assistant coach.

However, for Malone, who is only 29 years old, this is still a job opportunity he would never dare to imagine before submitting his resume to the Knicks.

Praise God and thank Wang Shuo!

"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you today!" Malone, who walked out of the Wizards' office and got a team's prepaid check, seemed particularly happy.

Wang Shuo always felt that he had seen this scene somewhere.

"Am I too harsh on him?" As for the other side, after Wang Shuo asked the team to sign two unknown assistants, Wizards general manager Antheld was reflecting on himself.

Although the Wizards management led by Unseld did not trust the young Wang Shuo at the beginning, after spending a few days with Wang Shuo, everyone was very satisfied and recognized by the young man's work attitude after taking over the team.

In addition, Wang Shuo called him brother when he met others, and he spoke nicely and looked handsome, so he naturally easily gained favor from the team management.

In the NBA, most team management does not like coaches who will keep putting pressure on top leaders or make things difficult for team management.

Wang Shuo is very self-aware. From the first uniform group meeting to the subsequent assistant coaching candidates, he has not made any excessive demands to the team management.

But in fact, the Wizards at this time in 2001 were not a team that was reluctant to spend money.

In the 2001/02 season, the total salary of the Wizards team reached an astonishing 54.77 million, which is even 400,000 more than the Lakers of the same period.

It was only because of Boss Qiao's unique vision that there was a serious disagreement between him and the Wizards' management that the Wizards significantly reduced the team's budget in the 202/03 season.

Indeed, at the beginning, because Wang Shuo was a rookie coach, Unseld did not have a good attitude towards him, but no matter what, since Wang Shuo is the candidate for the head coach appointed by Jordan, in a sense, he is Jordan's person.

Unseld knew that the most important thing for the Wizards at the moment was to prepare for Jordan's comeback.

Therefore, at this critical moment, Unseld did not hope that everyone would be unhappy because of his overly harsh attitude.

As the saying goes, when doing big things, the overall situation is the priority.

Unseld made up his mind that as long as Wang Shuo does not ask the team for such excessive demands as a star player, he will try his best to satisfy Wang Shuo.

But, how could the old Anselde know...

The reason why Wang Shuo did not make excessive demands to the team at the beginning was because he had even more excessive demands to make.

On the 7th, after getting his second and third assistant coaches one after another, at the last gambling table on Boss Lajo, Wang Shuo used the trust he had recently exchanged from the team through low-key and modesty, and asked the team management to help him contact him as the first assistant coach he had chosen from the beginning.

Unlike Mike Brown and Mike Malone.

Mike D'Antoni, who had already gained fame in the Italian basketball league before entering the NBA, is not only more expensive, but also the most difficult to deal with.

To be honest, if it weren't for D'Antoni's performance when coaching the Nuggets in the 1998/99 season, D'Antoni decided to be an assistant coach first to settle for a while. In addition, he was now unemployed as the Trail Blazers this season because of the departure of Dunleavy...

As for Wang Shuo's current qualifications, there is really no possibility that such a coach who already has a certain qualification and reputation will be his deputy.

But how could Wang Shuo think of it...

There was no even an interview.

On the phone, he simply described the Wizards' offensive framework for next season, and D'Antoni chose to join.

“We have a lot to talk about about your offensive framework!”

It is easy to get a thousand gold, but it is hard to find a close friend.

At this moment, D'Antoni just wished he could fly to Washington immediately to meet this Wizards' new head coach who had not met him, but he must have been his long-lost brother...
