Chapter 255 The Unexpected Acting Coach

Chapter 255 The Unexpected Acting Coach

After sending D'Antoni to the hospital, Davis and Anna set foot on the way home together.

The other players had gone home one step ahead of time at DeWeese's request.

"Michael, what should I do?" Anna was in the car and asked Davis what the team should do next.

"Although it's a pity, Mike's injury gives our other coaches a chance." Davis said here, and suddenly turned to Anna and said, "Honey, are you interested in being the head coach of the team?"

Anna's eyes widened.

"How can I do it?"

"Leave the matter of the locker room to me, and all other issues on the field are left to you. Do you want to try?"

Anna was shocked by the sudden news.

"It's never my turn, there are still in front of me..."

At this point, Anna suddenly stopped talking.

It seems that in the coaching staff of this team, there is no one with more seniority than her. .

"That should also be the assistant coach on top, let Billy go on."

Ana pushed Donovan up.

Davis stroked his chin.

"After the decision of the Magic team management, when Mike D'Antoni is absent due to injury, the team's tactical coach, Anna, will act as the team's head coach." He announced the decision of the "Magic team management" to Anna in a serious manner.

Anna wanted to hammer Davis, but since he was driving, the raised hand couldn't be lowered.

The next day, the Magic announced the unexpected approach.

The news of D'Antoni's accidental injury also spread throughout the league in the first place.

"The first female head coach in NBA history."

"Where the hell is Anna?"

"Michael DeWeese's girlfriend? How far can the crony front office lead the Magic?"

All kinds of news were also overwhelmingly reported by the media.

But within the Magic, there was no great reaction to the news.

Because Anna has already conquered everyone on the Magic team by relying on her good looks and strong tactical ability.

Even Donovan, who is most supposed to succeed D'Antoni, has no objection to this.

In this way, Anna was appointed in the face of danger. On her first day as the acting head coach, she ushered in the first game of her NBA head coaching career.

The Magic's game against the Pistons at home became noticeable because of Anna's presence.

Originally, there was not much suspense in this game. The Magic, one of the teams with the best record in the league, played against the underdeveloped Pistons, but. . .

Before the game, the reporters were directly blocked in front of the Magic team's coaching bench, scrambling to interview the No.1 female head coach in NBA history.

But Anna answered the reporters' questions very calmly, as if she was a different person.

"Why did the management let you be the interim head coach? Is it because you're Michael DeWeese's girlfriend?"

"I think there are reasons why the management made this decision, and what I have to do is to live up to the expectations of the management and try to lead the team to achieve good results during Mike's absence." Anna intentionally or unintentionally avoided Davis.

"Facing the Pistons tonight is your first game as coach. Are you ready?"

"I am very familiar with the team, every player is like my relatives, I believe they can implement my tactical arrangements."

Ana finally showed her strong woman side, revealing her confidence.

Davis was a little worried at first, but after hearing Anna's answer to the first two questions, he turned his head and left. He knew that Anna had nothing to worry about.

After the warm-up, all the players returned to the locker room.

After Davis had changed his teammates, he opened the door and called Anna in.

Anna shyly entered the team's locker room for the first time with players.

But soon, the shyness on her face disappeared, and she quickly transformed into the attitude that a real head coach should have.

The starting lineup arranged by Anna was somewhat unexpected.

She pushed her boyfriend on the bench.

Davis looked at Anna in a daze, and then sat comfortably in his seat.

"Shaq, you are the main offensive point of the whole team in the paint. You must pay attention to improving your scoring efficiency. If Michael is not playing today, you will be under a lot of pressure."

O'Neill nodded seriously.

Every time she was a guest at Davis's house, Anna would cook delicious food for herself. In addition, she was very beautiful and had a good personality. O'Neill still supported Anna as the interim head coach.

He silently made a decision in his heart that he must perform well, even if Davis didn't make it, he would still lead the Magic to win the game.

"Dennis, you have a very heavy task today. You must protect your own defensive rebounds and help defend Joe Dumars. Joe Dumars likes the two-step emergency stop jump shot after a breakthrough. You can arrange your defense against him according to his habit."

Rodman also nodded.

"Ratt, your task today is the heaviest. The team needs you both offensively and defensively. On the defensive end, you can limit Joe Dumars. You can let him break through a little bit, but shooting is not allowed. On the offensive end, you have to replace some of Michael's absent points. In this game, you have unlimited shooting rights, just like Shaq."

"Nick." Anna looked at Nick—not Nick Anderson, but Nick Van Exel.

"Nick, you play double point guard with Steve, and you two run the team's offense together."

Van Exel was a little flattered, and at the same time Cole raised his head in surprise.

Seeing Anna's determined expression, the expressions on the faces of both of them became excited.

Finally Ana looked to Nick Anderson.

"Nick, don't worry off the court, you play a very important role in my plan."

Nick Anderson froze for a moment, and spread his hands to signal that he would obey any arrangement.

DeWeese waited desperately for Anna to comfort him.

He was looking forward to this feeling similar to flirting in public.

But Anna didn't speak to him. . . .

DeWeese felt abandoned by the entire world. . .

Ana watched all the players walk out of the locker room, leaving only her and Davis in the locker room.

Then she turned her head and threw herself into Davis's arms.

"Michael, I'm so nervous."

The little emotions Davis had just disappeared in an instant, and he kissed Anna on the forehead.

"It's all right, honey, everything is mine."

Anna raised her head and said to Davis embarrassedly: "Do you know why I left you off the court?"

Davis made a puzzled expression.

"Because only if you are off the court, if the team has any accidents, I can safely send you up and win me the victory."
