Overnight, the Lakers and the sun took what they needed, and the selection of coaches was coming to an end. Monty Williams decided to accept the Suns' 5-year contract to become the new coach of Phoenix, and the Lakers decided to hire Tyrone Lue to find a head coach for James who won the championship together in the past. It seems that everyone is happy, but the Lakers chose Lu Guidance, really chose the right one?
What is the most important thing in determining a manager for a team? It is estimated that most of them will talk about coaching ability. However, the Lakers' selection of coaches may not value the ability, but the human feelings.
Looking at the news half a month ago, you will find that the news from Mark Stein, a reporter at the New York Times at the time, was that the Lakers were not inclined to hire Tyrone Lue because they were worried that Tyrone Lu would give James too much power, which was a situation that the Lakers executives did not want to see. But in the end? They chose Tyrone Lou anyway, even though his personal abilities were not so widely favored.
Some people say "Jenny is emotional", I'm afraid it is true. Jenny is such a boss, if she is not emotional, she does not have to hire a magician as the president of basketball operations, if she is not emotional, she will not find Kobe's former agent as general manager. The US media has long pointed out that Jenny likes to hire people with Lakers background, and even Walton, the former coach of the Lakers, has also played in the Lakers.
Leaving aside Lu's coaching ability, he is very strong in terms of emotional intelligence alone. Director Lu has long known Jenny's habits, so when the two sides met, Director Lu spent a lot of time expressing his feelings for the Lakers, looking back on the years when he followed the Lakers to win the championship, and had to say that this was very appetizing to Jenny.
This meeting significantly improved Jenny's impression of Lou, and then Jenny continued to "emotionally", she consulted two people, one is the magician Johnson, who she has always regarded as "brother", Johnson believes that it is not easy for Lou to lead the Cavaliers to defeat the Warriors, and recommends him. The other was her ex-boyfriend, Phil Jackson, who also said That Lou was a very good coach.
In this way, Jenny chose to listen to the words of "brother", listen to the words of her ex-boyfriend, and the previous concerns about the relationship between Lou and James have long been thrown out of the clouds.
Tyrone-Lou's appointment was only officially announced. However, his relationship with James is there, the Lakers play well next season, it is no problem, everyone is happy, if the Lakers are still the same, just afraid that Lu Shuai will come out to carry the pot again.
