The security guard was very familiar with the arena and quickly arrived at the door of Cohan's office.
The thin security guard knocked on the door. After hearing the affirmative reply, he pushed open the door of Cohan's office and whispered: "Boss, this person asked to see you."
Cohan was sitting in front of the sofa in the office, drinking coffee alone.
Deng Fang is coming over today with an agreement from Wells Fargo Bank agreeing to defer repayment.
This is Cohan's biggest concern.
Therefore, Cohan had been waiting for Deng Fang here early.
However, as a boss, he could not imagine how difficult it would be for an ordinary person to meet him!
Of course, he didn't expect that Deng Fang was so young and dressed like this!
Cohan raised his head and looked at Deng and Fang at the door, frowning slightly: "Looking for me? What's your name?"
The skinny security guard felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar!
damn it!
Scammed!
The boss doesn’t even know this guy!
What else is there to say about the head coach!
Why did I just believe what he said?!
The thin security guard didn't wait for Deng Fang to speak and immediately said: "Ah? You don't know him? That's my mistake. I'll kick him out right away!"
As he said this, the thin security guard grabbed Deng Fang and tried to take him away.
"My name is Deng Fang!" Deng Fang shouted quickly: "Mr. Upton asked me to come to you."
If he is driven away, he doesn't know when he will be able to see Cohan again.
"Don't be so reckless!" Fortunately, Cohan was in a good mood today. He stretched out his hand to signal the thin security guard to stop, then looked at Deng Fang and asked, "What's your name?"
"Deng Fang."
"You are Deng Fang! Okay, come in, I'm waiting for you." A smile began to appear on Cohan's face.
The thin security guard was stunned, and then quickly let go of Deng Fang's hand.
Deng Fang ignored the thin security guard, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and walked in.
"Hello!" Cohan stood up and took a step forward, reaching out to hold Deng Fang's hand: "Deng Fang, welcome to your arrival."
No matter how Deng Fang dresses, or whether Deng Fang is too young, as long as he is recommended by Mr. Upton, as long as he can bring benefits to himself, that's enough!
Deng Fang shook hands with Cohan and then sat on the sofa on the other side.
Cohan glanced at the thin security guard standing at the door.
The thin security guard reacted immediately, closed the door gently, and left quickly.
"Hello, Deng Fang, have you brought the contract?" Cohan looked at Deng Fang.
Deng Fang nodded, took out the contract in his arms and placed it in front of Cohan.
Cohan glanced at it, saw the seal of Wells Fargo, and immediately felt relieved.
As long as he is given one year, whether it is selling the team or working around funds, it will be no problem.
Deng Fang coughed slightly and said, "Can we talk about the team's head coach now?"
Cohan was in a good mood, smiled slightly and said, "Of course."
After agreeing to Upton's offer, Cohan was not surprised.
Being a head coach is not a big deal to Cohan.
"How old are you?" Cohan asked.
"21 years old." Deng Fang answered simply.
Cohan frowned slightly: "You are so young, have you ever led a team? Are you able to become the head coach of an NBA team?"
"No one said that 21 years old can't do it!" Deng Fang replied confidently: "I just need a chance to prove myself."
Cohan was silent for two seconds.
Indeed, one cannot tell anything based on age alone.
Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth.
"What did you do before?" Cohan changed the subject.
"doctor."
"Which department?"
“During my internship, what I’m best at is Chinese medicine.”
"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Cohan frowned: "Traditional Chinese medicine is not recognized here."
"I know that, but it doesn't matter. I rely on facts to speak." Deng Fang replied.
Deng Fang was not a medical student, so he could only use Chinese medicine to fool people.
"I heard that you have never been a head coach. Have you ever played basketball before?" Cohan was more concerned about this.
Whether you have studied medicine or not is secondary, the position of head coach is first.
Even if Cohan doesn't care about the team's record, he can't bring in a novice who knows nothing about it!
Then it's not just about performance.
Once the outside world knows about it, it will be embarrassing!
In fact, you are not afraid of losing face!
Just take it if you have money.
But if outsiders really want to know that they have hired someone who knows nothing to be the head coach, wouldn’t everyone know that they don’t care about the team’s record and have already made up their minds to sell the team?!
In that case, it will be difficult to sell the team at a good price!
When it comes to money, Cohan can't help but care.
Therefore, Cohan still needs to get to know Deng Fang first.
It’s okay to say that I have never been a head coach, but I have played basketball after all!
"Fought." Deng Fang replied.
"What league?"
"In our school's basketball game, I am a member of the basketball team in my class."
?
!
Cohan had a big question mark on his face.
School basketball games aren’t considered official games, right?
"Which university in the United States?" Cohan continued to ask with the last glimmer of hope.
If it were a famous basketball school in the United States, even a school basketball game would be passable.
After all, many players from strong NCAA teams have qualified for the NBA lottery in advance.
If you can compete with them, you should have some strength.
"China Capital University." Deng Fang didn't hide anything.
Nani?
Cohan finally couldn't sit still, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
It’s okay if you haven’t played in the NBA.
It is indeed not easy for a Chinese with yellow skin to enter the NBA.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not in the NCAA, but you should at least have played in the CBA, right?
Although everyone on earth knows that the gap in BA is huge.
But, after all, it is still a professional league.
Having played in the CBA also shows that you have some talent in basketball and have gone through systematic training.
But not only have you never played CBA, you’re not even CUBA?!
Do you dare to become the head coach of an NBA team?
Are you stupid or am I stupid?
"Are you kidding me?" Cohan asked again with a weird expression on his face.
Deng Fang replied calmly: "I have never played in a professional league, I am just a basketball enthusiast."
"Then why do you want to be the head coach of the Warriors?" Cohan was on the verge of anger.
If it weren't for Mr. Upton's sake, Deng Fang would have been kicked out by the security guards.
"Being a head coach must have played games? I am here to be a head coach, not to play." Deng Fang said very calmly.
"Why do you make me believe you are qualified to be a head coach?"
"Record!" Deng Fang replied: "The winner is the winner and the loser is the loser. Everything in the NBA is based on record. We can stipulate in the contract that if my record in leading the team is not good, I will leave immediately."
Now Deng Fang has no leverage except bragging...
"That's all?" Cohan shook his head.
All previous head coaches said this before taking office, but have the Warriors had a better record in recent years?
"And Mr. Upton's trust." Deng Fang took out his trump card.
There is no way, as long as Cohan is still a normal person, he will not believe that Deng Fang is qualified to be a head coach.
