Six Hundred and Eleven: Changes in the Coaching Staff

Spain in July, the sun is shining.

This is Link's second year in a row to vacation in Spain, and it must be said that this is a very suitable place for vacation.

In addition to football, Spain is also very hot on beaches and beautiful women. Don't be surprised if you see naked girls sunbathing on a Spanish beach, just go up there and ask for a phone number.

But those had nothing to do with Link. He didn't go to the beach, so naturally he couldn't find a Spanish girl.

He came to Spain this time, mainly to attend Gasol's wedding. Of course, Rachel also came along.

"She's so beautiful." Rachel's eyes almost fell out when she looked at Christina Bresha who was wearing a wedding dress.

Pau Gasol's wife Blaisha wore a white upper body and a turquoise wedding dress today. At this time, the two were taking wedding photos on the lawn. Obviously, the green wedding dress matches the surrounding environment very well.

"That guy Mark... It's only been a few days off, so I've gained so much weight." Link's attention was not on Blaisha, but on Marc Gasol's stomach. .....

Gasol was a little chubby when he was a child. After entering the NBA and controlling his diet, his body was controlled.

However, it is estimated that Little Gasol himself has a fat-prone physique. After only half a month of vacation, his body has become "wider" a lot.

Link estimated that the gray suit Gasol was wearing was enough to cover himself as a quilt.

Having said that, Gasol's wedding is indeed simple enough. Not to mention compared with other stars, even compared with ordinary people, it is not very luxurious.

Not to mention the wedding photos taken on the wedding day, the wedding itself is also very simple.

Early this morning, Gasol's relatives and friends drove to a park in the suburbs. Gasol then exchanged rings with the bride in a church by the park lawn. Afterwards, we took wedding photos on the lawn.

After the wedding photos, everyone will have a feast on the lawn later, until the evening, the wedding is over.

If this is placed in China, even ordinary people, at least the entire team. Wedding photos, of course, you have to choose a day to take them, and when there is no wedding, you will take them by the way.

It can only be said that people with different cultures and concepts have completely different attitudes towards weddings.

"It's so troublesome, so troublesome..." Randolph couldn't help complaining when he looked at Gasol, who was posing according to the photographer's request.

In Link's view, this wedding, which was already extremely simple, was very troublesome in Randolph's view. After all, Randolph is a guy who has already made two girlfriends pregnant, but still has no intention of getting married...

Most black people born in poverty are like this. In their opinion, even if a girlfriend has a child, it may not necessarily get married. Howard is not married and has enough kids to form a basketball team.

After the wedding photos were taken, the banquet officially began. On the Grizzlies side, here came Link, Randolph, Tony Allen, Andre Iguodala and Conley. Although the others did not come, they all sent their blessings.

As for the other people at the wedding, Link didn't know much. However, Link vaguely saw Gasol's teammates in the national team, and even recognized the "Spanish Golden Boy" Rubio.

At the wedding of a basketball player, there is no shortage of basketball players. It's no wonder that many of Blaisha's sisters seem to be "hunting" their eyes today.

After the banquet started, the Grizzlies naturally sat together. Everyone talked about the holiday. Although the holiday has just started, most of them still did a lot of interesting things.

Randolph went out to sea for two days and claimed to have caught a small shark. However, Link reckons that bragging is a lot.

Iguodala is talking about his investment again. Today, Iguodala, wearing a small vest and white shirt, looks like a big business man. When it comes to business acumen in the NBA, Link only serves Iguodala.

But after talking for a while,

The conversation of the guys came back to the team.

"Hey, have you heard? Dave will be our head coach next season! I like that guy, although he, like Hollins, emphasizes defense every day." A sip of beer.

"Zach, that's the news from a few days ago, okay. The latest news is that Jason Kidd may become our assistant coach." Tony Allen also wentssips, although what coach is there? He doesn't matter. Because no matter who coaches the Grizzlies, all Tony Allen can do is defend.

"Kid? Really?" Conley's eyes lit up. If he could get the guidance of a historic point guard, Conley believed that he would definitely be able to go further.

Link just listened silently and did not participate in the discussion. These days, he really didn't care about the team's coaching change.

It's not that the head coach is not important, but Link knows Joger's character and style too well. Working with him, Link believes there will be no problems.

The head coach and the players first have to match their styles and personalities. After these two points are met, we can talk about the tactical level.

If the general is not in harmony, everything else is for nothing.

Link was listening when the phone vibrated. Link thought it was a business arrangement from Austin, but he took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Robert Pera.

"You know Quinn Snyder? He happened to be coaching in the G League the year you played in the G League. What can you tell me about him?"

Link looked at the screen of his phone, and then at the teammates who were having a heated discussion. It is estimated that the final candidate for the assistant coach will be beyond everyone's expectations.

Quinn Snyder? Of course Link knew him. But not when the G League knew about him, but because Snyder made a name for himself as the head coach of the Jazz before Link crossed over.

Since Jerry Sloan voluntarily resigned in the middle of the 201011 season, the Jazz only made the playoffs in the 201112 season and stopped in the first round. The season before Snyder took over, the Jazz had an abysmal 25-57 record.

However, under the guidance of Snyder, the Jazz quickly showed a thriving scene, and their record improved greatly every year. In the end, they led the team to the playoffs without the participation of big-name stars.

Is Snyder the best coach in the league? He doesn't deserve that honor because he hasn't done enough in the playoffs and hasn't built enough records yet.

However, everyone believed that Snyder was definitely one of the first-tier coaches in the league, and he was definitely top-notch.

If such a person with the strength of a top head coach can really join the Grizzlies' coaching staff, Link believes that this will definitely be beneficial and harmless.

Compared to Kidd, Link is looking forward to working with Snyder...

※※※

When I first saw the picture of Snyder, Pera only thought that he had a unique appearance, and he looked like a bad guy just by looking at his face.

However, after looking at Snyder's resume, Pera found that this guy is more than just a unique appearance.

In the 1989 draft, Snyder's name was lost. He had planned to play in the Euroleague, but gave up in the end. Eventually, Snyder switched careers as a coach, starting with coaching amateur teams.

In 1992, when Snyder was a graduate student, he was fortunate to be an assistant coach for the Clippers and an assistant to the famous coach Larry Brown.

From 1993 to 1995, Snyder worked as an administrative assistant under Coach K, while studying for an MBA and a Juris Doctor. After earning a double major in 1995, Snyder became a full-time assistant to Coach K. In 1997, Snyder was promoted to head assistant coach.

During Snyder's tenure as assistant, the Blue Devils reached the NCAA Tournament Finals in 1994 and 1999, and the Elite Eight in 1998.

Under the tutelage of Larry Brown and the old K, Snyder has laid a solid foundation. So starting in 1999, Snyder finally took charge and became the head coach of the Missouri Tigers. During his tenure with the Tigers, Snyder led the team to the March Madness tournament four times.

In 2007, Snyder began to try to get involved in the NBA. From 2007 to 2010, Snyder was the best coach in the G League with the Austin Spurs.

From 10 to 12 years, Snyder served as an assistant in the 76ers and the Lakers, respectively. Snyder made a trip to Europe last season, leading CSKA Moscow to the Champions League semi-finals as head coach.

Such a rich resume, judging from the requirements of the assistant coach, is more than enough.

The most important thing is that Robert Pera actually received a call from the old coach K in the morning, "If you hire him, you will get a coach full of victory desire and motivation, and he will prove it to you. "

This guy actually got the personal introduction of old K, which surprised Pera very much. Although Snyder was a student of the old K, he played under the old K as a player, and he also studied under the old K during the coaching era. But Old K would never risk his reputation being ruined by rashly recommending Snyder to other teams.

After Kwame Brown, who was selected by Jordan back then, was dropped, do you think there is still anyone who cares about the rookie Jordan favored? The same is true of old K. If the person he recommends is not good, no one will believe him in the future.

Therefore, Snyder's ability is definitely not ordinary to allow Old K to make a call in person.

So Pera texted and asked Link, hoping to get more information about Snyder.

Link quickly replied to Pera with a simple text message, "In the G League, he has always been the top coach, that's all I know."

Link was telling the truth, not belittling Snyder, nor wildly complimenting him. Although he knew that Snyder would be an excellent coach in the future, Link didn't want to interfere too much in this regard. Sometimes, the management decides things that the players are better off not messing with.

But now, after getting the affirmation of Old K and Link, Pera probably has a bottom line.

He decided to recall Joger from the summer league. In this year's summer league, the Grizzlies have to test the ability of this guy who looks like a big villain.
