Chapter 6 Objectives

"Mr. Fang, can you ask you a few questions?"

"Coach Fang, can you accept our interview?"

…………

Fang Chen looked at the four or five reporters in front of him, and was embarrassed and surprised. He did not expect that so many media would come tonight. The media in the previous home games had dropped sharply compared to last season.

After all, there are no superstars that attract attention here, so it is understandable that the media attention has decreased.

But how could there be so many media tonight?

Fang Chen knew that he would attract some media, but he did not expect that he would be so attractive that he would have so much tonight.

"So I have become the big news in their eyes." Fang Chen smiled bitterly and murmured in his heart.

The security personnel in the stadium came over at this time and were about to rescue Fang Chen. But Fang Chen waved his hand at them, and then replied to the reporters in front of him with a smile: "Of course, but you have to come one by one, and each person can only ask one question. If you don't follow the rules, I won't cooperate with you."

"No problem." When the reporters heard this, their faces appeared joyful and agreed.

"Mr. Fang, as the youngest head coach in the service, what do you think?" A tall female reporter with a lot of freckles raised her own question.

As this female reporter said, as Fang Chen became the acting head coach of the Cavaliers, he also became the youngest head coach in the entire league.

Before Fang Chen, the youngest head coach in the league was Eric Spoelstra, the head coach of the Miami Heat whom LeBron James transferred to.

However, the youngest head coach in NBA history is not Fang Chen, but one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history - Dave Debschell.

Fang Chen is 25 years old this year, and Debschel served as the head coach of the Detroit Pistons at the age of 24, and then became the youngest head coach in NBA history.

At the same time, he is also one of the main players of the Pistons.

Debschel's career is quite successful. He won the NBA championship twice in 1970 and 1973. In addition, he was the best rookie in 1963, and was selected into the first team of the best defensive team six times (1969-1974), and seven All-Star experiences (1966-1968, 1970-1973).

In 1969, Debschel was selected as the second team of the All-American team. On the 50th anniversary of the birth of the NBA in 1996, Debschel was also selected as the 50 greatest players in NBA history along with other superstars.

In addition, Debschel became the president of the ABA League in 1975.

Although he failed to surpass Dave Debschel and became the youngest head coach in league history, it is undeniable that Fang Chen was able to become the acting head coach of the Cavaliers as a Chinese at this age.

At least when the team is in such a bad situation of jealousy, it is very admirable that he recommends himself to become the team's acting head coach.

"To be honest, I feel very lucky. Of course, I am also very grateful to the team for giving me this opportunity." Fang Chen replied with a very official smile.

The female reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Fang Chen's answer that was too official. However, Fang Chen had said before that each person could only ask one question, so even though she didn't want to give up, she could only shut up.

"Mr. Fang, since you have become the acting head coach of this team, do you think you can help this team get out of the sea of ​​suffering? Or, under your leadership, what is the next goal of this team? Can it get rid of the fate of being the bottom of the league? Or will the team continue to play badly and strive for the No. 1 pick next year?" A reporter with a somewhat mean look asked several annoying questions in a row.

When Fang Chen heard this, he frowned in dissatisfaction.

Although Fang Chen, who has experienced quite a rough experience, is more mature than his peers, after all, he is still a 25-year-old young man.

Maybe he will think more deeply and have a more meticulous mind than his peers, but he will still be as passionate as his peers, dare to fight and fight, and be impulsive and competitive.

Therefore, after hearing the reporter's question, his mood was somewhat affected, and the expression on his face also made others know that he was a little angry.

"Sorry, you asked too many questions. However, as a gentleman, I will not be too harsh, and I will still answer your question. When you ask what our next goal is? OK, then I will answer your question." Fang Chen took a deep breath, then exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Immediately, Fang Chen replied loudly: "Our next goal is to strive for the playoffs."

"Wow..." After hearing Fang Chen's answer, everyone was in an uproar.

Isn't this too good at speaking?

The reporters who heard Fang Chen's answer wanted to laugh, but for the sake of face, they could only help but not laugh.

They seemed to have heard the biggest joke of the year, and they looked at Fang Chen a bit like a fool.

A team that is not a star, but suffers 13 consecutive losses at the beginning. The team at the bottom of the league still wants to make the playoffs?

This is simply a joke, at least in the eyes of these journalists.

There is no shortage of miracles in the league, but a team like the Cavaliers still want to make the playoffs, and hopefully it is almost 0.

The Cavaliers are the team with the worst loss of personnel this summer. In addition to LeBron James, the departure of the 'Sharks' O'Neal, Zaydrunas Ilgoskas (Big Z) and others also gave the team a blow. Almost no one is optimistic that they can still achieve the same results as last season (61 wins and 21 losses), and it is difficult to enter the playoffs.

The thirteen consecutive losses at the start of the new season also proved the idea of ​​most people.

Therefore, after hearing Fang Chen say that, these reporters feel like they hear big jokes.

Fang Chen could see these guys were watching jokes, but he ignored them and continued on his own: "For us, maybe the departure of James and others is not necessarily a bad thing. The players we have in existence look stronger than last year, and they have truly achieved unity now, which is a good thing for us. People are looking at us, but we still have many excellent players here, and we will not give up. We will not give up on this season in order to train new players, and our goal is still the playoffs. Even if I go down from the position of acting head coach, our goal is still the playoffs. Although our lineup strength and depth have dropped significantly compared to the same period last year, we have gained higher cohesion."

"Yes, the playoffs are still our goal." Fang Chen finally said seriously at the last look of surprise.
