Chapter 283 Press Conference

The Suns held a press conference the next day to announce their new coach.

"We are honored to announce that Steve Kerr has become the new head coach of the team, and he will continue to serve as the team's general manager.

As we develop our team going forward, we feel confident that he is the right fit for our team and our organization as a whole.

He has benefited greatly from playing for a number of NBA coaches during his career, including Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich.

He also had a successful playing career and was a championship player.

He also did a great job as our general manager.We believe he can lead our team to the championship position. "

Suns spokesman said.

This news obviously made the reporters at the scene a little confused, what?Steve Kerr as head coach of the Suns?Not any of the candidates in the previous coverage?
Not Budenholzer? Not Stevens?

Is it Steve Kerr who has no coaching experience before?

This guy has never even been an assistant coach of the team. Does he need to be so unexpected?

"I'm really excited to have the opportunity to coach such a talented team and to be the head coach of a team like the Suns.

In my personal opinion, the Suns have gone through ups and downs and have become one of the top clubs in the NBA in recent years.

I am looking forward to working in my new role with the Suns and looking forward to building on the success of the past season. "

Cole held the microphone and said confidently.

"Excuse me, after you became the team's head coach, will the Suns' tactical play undergo a major change? Will they continue to bombard tactics or switch to positional warfare?" Then raise your hand and ask questions.

"I can say that every coach I've played for has had an impact on my offense, and one thing I can tell you as a coach without hesitation is that the ball has to move.

You have to move from side to side, you can't let the ball stand still.

When the ball stops, play stops.

I don't think you can win at the highest level with singles and too many one-on-ones.

I hope the team's offense can become a master.

Teams will pass more and move more off the ball.

And can include the tactical elements of the following head coaches: Mike D'Antoni's Sun-style rhythm and passing, Popovich's Spurs-style flow offense, Sloan's Jazz-style high-post pass and bottom line curling, and Phil - Jackson's triangle offense with the Bulls.

As for the specific tactical play, you will see it soon. "

Cole said.

"So your tactics will be a mix of tactics, not a specific tactic in the league now, right?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Yes." Cole nodded.

"As far as we know, you haven't had any coaching experience before. We are curious, how will you lead the team to success after you become the head coach of the Suns?" another reporter asked.

"I will let the players know exactly how to achieve our goals, I am confident in my ability to communicate with the players and to lead.

We are already a good team with good team genes.

So our idea of ​​becoming stronger is relatively clear.

My behind-the-scenes team can provide this team with all the conditions needed to become stronger, especially assistant coaches such as Gentry, who are seasoned veterans in this league, and they will assist me in building this team into championship team.

In the past days, I have observed this team closely, shared the fate with this team, and thought about how to make this team stronger all the time.

I think we've got big plans in mind.

We've been to the playoffs a couple of seasons in a row, and like I said before, we're already a very talented team with a good group of players.

I think the Suns want to take a step up now, we need a direction, guys need to have an idea of ​​what they're going to do, and that's what I'm going to give to the team. "

"After you became the head coach of the Suns, will the team's starting lineup change a lot?" a Chinese reporter asked, "Will Qian Duoduo continue to start?"

"Actually, you want to ask Qian Duoduo alone?" Cole said with a smile,
"I know he is very popular in China.

Of course, he'll be one of our unshakable starting fives, and that's not going to change.He will play a very important role in my tactical system.

His versatility will be one of the biggest reasons for our team's success. "

"Do you mean that Qian Duoduo will become the core of the Suns?" The Chinese reporter keenly captured the key points in Cole's speech.

"It can be said that Qian Duoduo will become one of the core members of the Suns." Cole nodded generously. After observing so many games and communicating with Qian Duoduo many times, Cole recognized it in his heart. Qian Duoduo's core position in the team was lost.

"Is it convenient to disclose your contract salary?" A reporter asked gossip.

"I can only say that this is a five-year contract, and the price of the contract is good. I am quite satisfied. As for the specific amount and terms of the contract, I have no comment. There is a relevant confidentiality agreement in the contract, so I cannot disclose it." .” Cole spread his hands and said.

"Can I ask about the Stoudemire trade? Will the Suns really make a trade? Is it possible to keep Stoudemire? If they really want to make a trade, this deal has come to an end. To what extent? When will the deal be concluded?" A reporter raised his hand and asked.

This issue is still concerned by many people. After all, the Suns have never publicly responded to the Stoudemire trade.

So the reporters present at the moment all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Cole had to say.

"I have nothing to say about this issue. Today's press conference is mainly about me serving as the head coach of the team." Steve Kerr is an old fox after all, so how can he mention more about the team's big deal?
He knows that it is absolutely nothing good for the team's trade to be exposed by the media.

If the transaction fails, the players involved in the transaction have to be kept in their hands, which would be embarrassing.

You must know that if you want to reach a deal, it is likely that it is not only enough to simply trade Stoudemire alone, but there may also be other incidental players, which will equalize the salary.

Moreover, the more people think that the team will urgently seek a deal, the more likely it will be lowered by the counterparty, and the player's transaction value will be lower.

In the NBA, there are many idiots who exposed the content of the deal before the deal was concluded. In the end, the two teams that wanted to make the deal were disgraced, and there was no good ending.

So Cole chose to resolutely shut up on this issue.

This disappointed the reporters present, but they couldn't pry Cole's mouth open.

However, there was still a clever reporter who came around to ask a question,
"So what role will Stoudemire play in your tactical system?"

"Oh, that's a good question." Cole stroked the fingernail of his left thumb with his right thumb, and continued to avoid answering.

Or you can bring a nail clipper in the future, and you can cut your nails to avoid questions that are difficult to answer?he thought.
