063 Difficult to serve
"Mr. Latimer, I need to know what you want? If it's the head coach's position, I'm willing to give in."
6 Yiqi's reluctance made Latimer a little angry. The stubborn spirit broke the balance and put huge pressure on Latimer on the side. The dull but sharp voice echoed in the empty court, and even the violent pack seemed to be cheering, and the momentum suddenly rose.
But when Latimer heard the last sentence, he calmed down and asked expressionlessly, "Really? I thought you finally found a second life in the position of interim head coach. Now is the time to enjoy it."
The calm words were obvious mockery, but 6 Yiqi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared in his eyes, "Mr. Latimer, you must think I am a reckless, impulsive, young and energetic fool, right?"
Latimer did not refute.
6 Yiqi didn't expect Latimer to answer, "I know, after Lang was hospitalized, you were the first candidate for the team. Of course, who can ignore a senior coach who has worked in this team for twenty-six years? Lang and I were both curious about why Mr. Bill Schneider came to take over the head coach's job after Mr. Bill Schneider retired, and we never found the answer; but now it seems that you actually refused, not that you didn't have a chance."
If Latimer took the initiative to apply to become the team's head coach but failed, then things would be different. It is completely understandable that he rejected the "Cheng Yaojin" who came out from the middle of the road.
But...this is not the case.
"Even now, as long as you say, there will be no problem with taking over the interim head coach." 6 Yiqi is indeed confident, but not blindly arrogant. He knows the gap between him and Latimer.
Latimer did not deny, "Indeed, I have no interest in the head coach position."
"So, do you want to prove that you are right? Or do you refuse to change?" 6 Yiqi's words accelerated again, and he asked reluctantly, "Or... you are afraid of change, you dare not change, you are worried that you may choose to change..."
"Don't be smart!" Latimer rudely interrupted 6 Yiqi's guess and used the word "smart-ass". The rough voice revealed a little furious. Although there was no explanation, he denied the inferences in this way. Obviously, he did not like 6 Yiqi's inference direction.
"Have you never thought about it? Is your tactical thinking wrong? Defense is not an offense. Your defensive tactics are too impetuous and fancy. Maybe you can achieve results in a short period of time, but it is impossible to become the core foundation of a team's defense team."
Latimer finally expressed his true thoughts.
"No, you haven't thought about it, because you're desperately trying to prove yourself, you're eager to prove yourself in the head coach position, so you roll up your sleeves and start showing off, just like a sensational clown. I just don't want to get involved in this trick of you."
Calm and steady, but faintly revealing disdain and contempt. Latimer's words are neither too fast nor too slow, but the weight and strength of the attack are no less than the sharpness of the 6-Yi Qi, showing Lao Jiang's charm in different styles.
6 Yiqi was a little amused and crying, "Mr. Latimer, I thought we had reached a consensus..."
After the opening game, 6 Yiqi personally found Latimer just to discuss tactics. Although 6 Yiqi also understood that Latimer's tactical concept could not be changed overnight, and his tactical ideas were indeed too radical, and Latimer needed time; but now after going around in circles, they returned to the starting point, what is this?
Latimer didn't say anything, but turned his eyes away and gave 6 Yiqi the back of his head. The appearance of the iron wall directly cut off the possibility of communication.
Stubborn, old-school, conservative.
At this moment, 6 Yiqi felt that the barriers came from the huge generation gap in age or from the regional ideological differences.
Like China, North America is also a vast land, with many differences in different regions. The cultures on the east and west sides are more open and inclusive. The central region still retains those stubborn and outdated ideas, from economy to culture, from education to marriage, and all aspects of concepts, naturally including Latimer in front of sports, who is a native Kansasian.
After coming to North America University, he lived in New York and worked in New York for many years in his previous life. He has become accustomed to accepting the collision of different ideas and always faces unknown and new things with an open attitude. He lived in Michigan for four years in college and has contacted many people in the central region, but his relationship is generally relatively distant, without conflicts of interest, and is in peace, but he is different from Latimer, who has a "cooperative relationship".
As time went by, 6 Yiqi's thoughts became clearer. He let out a sigh of relief and said to the back of Latimer's head:
"Mr. Latimer, you should give me and yourself a chance..."
"Why?" Latimer interrupted 6 Yiqi's words again, "You are just an interim head coach. You shouldn't point fingers at the defense team. After Lang returns, what should we do? Do you modify the tactics again? Do you think this is a mud-pinning game?"
"So what do you think I'm doing?" 6 Yiqi also hit back hard, "I'm trying to communicate with you and find better defensive tactics based on your professional advice. No matter when Coach Pres comes back, the most important thing is that the team can make progress."
"You should know that with current defensive tactics, we can handle ordinary games, but it is basically impossible to go further."
Regardless of whether Latimer was willing to listen or not, 6 Yiqi continued to speak stubbornly.
"Mr. Bill Schneider has achieved great success in this team and has left a rich legacy, but if we want to follow his footsteps and even go further on his foundation, we must keep up with the times. Only change can we keep up with the times. Don't you want to make Mr. Bill Schneider proud?"
"Shut up!"
6 Yiqi succeeded, and he successfully angered Latimer.
Latimer turned around suddenly, his face, which had been calm and calm, was brewing a storm at this time. His sharp eyes were like a terrifying beast opening his bloody mouth, and the roar of thunder vented endlessly.
