"That's better for me to answer the reporter's question first. That's it. The reason why the team is now proposing to rebuild the team next season is actually a helpless move. Everyone knows that the Hans have only been established for 5 years. In fact, the team’s owner has long proposed a five-year plan. This five-year plan is to select a cornerstone player from the draft during the five years to build the team. I am very happy that we were in last year’s draft. Kobe Bryant was awarded at the conference, and Kobe Bryant is the cornerstone of our Han Chinese. Then the next five-year plan is to carry out targeted signings around Kobe Bryant, and strive for the next five years. Create a team headed by Kobe Bryant for the championship!"

Mitch Kupchak, the Han Chinese general manager, still answered the reporter's questions calmly.

But the off-court media reporters were confused. How could playing NBA become a business game? Didn’t it mean that as long as the bargaining chips are suitable, any NBA can quickly achieve the goal of winning the championship through the transaction? If it doesn’t work, it’s only two years. If two years don’t work, it’s three years. Then there will be a situation like the Han Chinese general manager Mitch Kupchak said. There is still a five-year plan. After five years of wasting, when is this big?

In fact, the media reporters really have no problem thinking about it. Being in a metropolis like New York is fully capable of quickly forming a lineup to compete for the championship in a short time. It would take a waste of time like the Han people, it’s just a satiated support. Got.

But they didn’t know that Bruce had never played the NBA as a game. Oh, what's the point of winning the championship as soon as possible by choosing a deal? Management is to experience the joy of management, plus Bruce is not a performance-oriented boss, so it is impossible to win the championship in a short time. With Bruce’s memory, he can completely turn all the Han players into the players he chose in the draft. If a team is all players selected by the Han to win the championship, it is definitely the first time in NBA history, and it is probably also unprecedented. How can Bruce easily give up the opportunity to be recorded in history? !

Basically, one or two rookies must be selected every year. If five years are not counted, there are almost ten players who have left. If you add another five years, don’t you just have a chance to achieve this goal? !

Bruce's plan was never told to anyone, including Mitch Kupchak, the Han Chinese general manager who temporarily helped him manage. No one believed such a thing even if it was said, so Bruce could only secretly brew it.

"Then I would like to ask General Manager Mickey. Coach Paul has done so well in coaching the Hans this season. Why doesn't the team continue to cooperate with him?!"

When the reporter asked this question again, Kobe and Mourning, who were sitting on the stage, looked different at the moment. Kobe felt that Paul Westphal only coached him for one season, although this season he worked with him. A gentleman is really good, but the key is that he doesn't have a deep relationship with him. In addition, the prince said that there will be a famous coach like Chuck Daley to coach the team next season, and fools know what to choose.

But Mourning is different from Kobe. It can be said that he has been coached by Paul Westphal since he came to the Hans team. Mourning is still very reluctant to Paul Westphal, after all. After five years together, I have more or less feelings. And now Paul Westphal is leaving the team, he looks very sad, plus this year the prince is preparing to change the blood of the team's management, in the future, there will really be fewer and fewer Han elderly people.

When Mitch Kupchak was about to answer this question, he glanced at Paul Westphal, who was sitting next to him with an indifferent expression.

"In fact, this can be considered a helpless move. Coach Paul has been coaching the team for five years. His contribution to the Han people is quite large. However, because the team is preparing to transform its playstyle, coach Paul has contracted this year. After the expiration, we very regretfully decided not to renew the contract with Coach Paul. Coach Paul is a very good coach, which can be reflected in the results of the Hans this year, so we sincerely hope that his future will be even better!" Mitch Kupchak replied helplessly.

Originally, Paul Westphal’s problem should not have been discussed at this press conference, but after Paul Westphal came to explain to him in person last night, Mitch Kupchak chose to On occasions like today, Paul Westphal's contract expired and the team will not renew his contract.

This has the advantage that Paul Westphal can sell himself on such a platform. Just imagine a head coach who just made the Eastern Conference playoffs expires. You think there will be no league. Are other teams excited, so come to Paul Westphal to talk about coaching other NBA teams? !

And Paul Westphal was also very satisfied after hearing Mickey Kupchak's evaluation of him, he felt that it was enough, at least the effect to be achieved today has been achieved.

In fact, this is what Paul Westphal had already considered. He knew that if he left the Han people in such a silent manner, the locals in New York would know at most, but if he said that he will be next season next season. Will become a free body, this is not to expand their influence in disguise, you must know that today's press conference is quite influential.

Paul Westphal believes that with the results of bringing the Hans this season, as long as those teams know that they will become free agents next season, then there will definitely be other teams looking for him, so at least he does not need to personally. I went to an interview with another NBA team, just wait for them to come up and talk to him about cooperation!

This is also the purpose of Paul Westphal going to Mickey Kupchak to talk to himself last night. It is to use today’s occasion to advertise for himself. As for the effect, I don’t know it yet. It must be clear after the end of the season. Up.

And Mickey Kupchak also because of Paul Westphal's five-year service in the Han people, he agreed to this matter because of the principle of hard work without credit.

Do you still have to say if you say early or late? !

Doesn't it have to wait until Paul Westphal has left the tea to cool down before announcing the change of head coach to the outside world? !

There is no such thing! Even if the prince knew about this, he would agree that he helped Paul Westphal in this way. Mickey Kupchak believed in this!

"Then Coach Paul, what are your plans next..."

In fact, the reason why this reporter asks this question is to make it clear that Paul Westphal is now parting ways. The Han people are no longer renewing their contract with you. What are you staying for? Waiting for the end of the season, what's the matter? Waiting for something! The losing game is purely a waste of time. Why not leave the Han Chinese early and apply for the position of head coach of other teams? !
