"coach!"

Robert, who was in the fog, suddenly heard his name and called out with a look of surprise. At this moment, he still didn't understand what was going on.

Augustus was also surprised and looked at Latimer in confusion, as if he couldn't believe that Latimer actually rejected the opportunity of Green Bay Packers.

Lu Yiqi was mentally prepared and was not too shocked, but he was still curious. He looked at Latimer with inquiry, trying to find some clues; while Latimer remained silent like an old monk entering into meditation, and seemed to have no intention of answering his questions.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yiqi took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Mr. Latimer, why didn't you want to take over the position of the interim head coach when Coach Pres was hospitalized?"

This has always been one of Lu Yiqi's most curious questions. If Latimer nodded in agreement, there would be nothing Lu Yiqi had done about him.

"Coach!" Robert called out again, revealing his impatience and anxiety. His performance was a bit abnormal and he was unable to maintain his usual calmness.

Latimer raised his hand to stop Robert, and his gaze was still on Lu Yiqi. His expressionless face made people feel a little nervous. However, Lu Yiqi's eyes did not dodge, and he calmly faced Latimer's gaze. The invisible confrontation and confrontation were a little tense.

This time, Latimer was defeated.

"I'm not suitable," said Latimer. "When I worked with Mr. Schneider, I was also very grateful. I always thought that I was outstanding, even if I was a defensive coordinator for professional teams. Mr. Schneider gave me the opportunity, more than once, but I messed up all of it."

Behind the understatement, there are complex stories hidden.

"Mr. Schneider told me that I was too rigid and my on-the-spot adaptability could not keep up with the pace of the game. During the game, the offense and defense conversion often took a few seconds, and the communication time between the coach and the player was deducted. This required the coach's thinking speed and information processing ability to be very good, just like a computer."

"Or it's an excellent talent, a sense of competition like a beast."

“Sadly, I don’t have either.”

Although the words were a little sad, Latimer's expression was very calm, and he could even detect the tenderness in the cold eyes.

"It took me nearly a decade to accept this fact, but then I gradually realized that maybe I was not suitable for being a head coach, but I was able to be a great defensive coordinator, and everyone had their own part of it, and there was no need to force it. So I settled down."

"When Mr. Schneider decided to retire, he talked to me once. He thought that if I could meet the right coach, then we could get more energy."

"So did David."

This should be the longest discourse that Lu Yiqi has said since he met Latimer. Even at tactical conferences, Latimer rarely makes such a long statement.

Latti really looked at Lu Yiqi with accusation, "I know your mind is filled with countless wonderful ideas, hoping to find a defensive coordinator with solid basic skills to help you, and ultimately make your tactical system come true. This is why you are willing to put down your posture and invite me, the old man."

With this alone, Latimer knew that he had read Lu Yiqi correctly. This mind and wisdom are crucial to the head coach.

He made the right choice between Pres and Lu Yiqi.

"But I am old, so there is no need to go to the NFL to explore. It's good to stay here to retire. David is different. His theoretical knowledge is more solid and advanced than me. Although he lacks experience, his advantage is that he is not as stubborn as me and is more willing to learn new things."

"David can play a more important role by your side than me."

Latimer said sincerely, and he could feel his sincerity and concentration between the lines. This was Latimer that Lu Yiqi had never seen before.

"Noah, you are a promising head coach. I hope David can learn from you. Maybe he is destined to be a head coach, just like me; but I believe he can become an excellent defensive coordinator."

"Coach! You haven't even asked about my opinion or my wishes. What if I don't?" Robert, who had been silent, spoke stubbornly.

But Latimer ignored Robert and just looked at Lu Yiqi because he knew that Lu Yiqi was the key.

"Hu..." Lu Yiqi let out a long sigh, his smile slightly helpless:

In addition to theoretical basis, the most important reason for inviting Latimer was that he was attracted by his experience and experience, but now he has replaced it with Robert.

This also means that he may lead a group of young troops into the Green Bay Packers.

"Okay." Lu Yiqi nodded and agreed.

"I haven't agreed yet." Robert expressed his strong protest, unable to believe that his voice was ignored.

Latimer nodded to Lu Yiqi, "You can leave first, I know you still have a lot of things to be busy with. Don't worry, David will be on time on the day when he sets for Green Bay."

Lu Yiqi didn't say anything more, and both turned around and left with Augustus.

"Aqi, is it really okay?" Standing next to the street, Augustus looked at Lu Yiqi with a worried look on his face. Robert seemed to be a trouble.

"There are pros and cons." Lu Yiqi let out a sigh of relief, "But we should look at it from a positive perspective. Lobster has good adaptability on the spot. He can understand my tactical intentions. Although he has many objections, as long as he stands on the court, he will still respect my choice."

It can be seen from the on-site command of the last two championship games. Perhaps, Robert's joining is a good thing.

"I hope." Augustus still reserved his opinion.

At the same time, Robert, who was staying in the room, was stammering his neck like a child, using his last stubbornness to express his strong protest.

But Latimer seemed to have not seen it and said to himself, "I know, you want to stay by my side forever, but David, you can't stay by my side forever. The eagle must learn to spread its wings by itself sooner or later. You should start your own life and career, and you should have your own future."

"Noah...he's a smart man, even smarter than I thought. Follow him, you can really use your abilities."

Robert twisted his neck stiffly, refusing to contact Latimer's gaze, but Latimer's words still sounded softly in the room.
