Chapter 218 Bold Adjustment
The changes on the Warriors' bench immediately attracted attention, and the on-duty referee also quickly looked over.
For being late, he only ordered Hill to be responsible for communicating with the referee, and then immediately carried the old Nelson down with his teammates. Assistant coach Harris Eleanor had already called an ambulance.
A sudden accident brought the game to a brief standstill.
The supporters of the Warriors were even more desperate. When the team fell behind by a large score at the beginning, the head coach couldn't continue to command the team. Is it really impossible for the Warriors to break the record of the Rockets' opening winning streak?
Jeff Van Gundy doesn't see it that way, and he's a staunch supporter of late.
While waiting for the game to resume, Van Gundy stood up to support the Warriors with a clear banner: "Maybe many people don't know that late is actually very talented in coaching the team. I think that although the old Nelson fell ill and was sent to the hospital, But being late can be the temporary head coach of the Warriors, I believe he can lead the Warriors to create miracles, don't forget that when he joined the Rockets, he once led the Rockets to stage a shocking comeback."
Pippen immediately jumped out to object: "I know that being late is a super genius, but basketball is different from scientific research, and his identity is a player, so it is destined that he cannot devote all his energy to the team's tactical adjustment. Think the Warriors are completely hopeless, there's no way they're going to break the record."
It’s not that the league has never had players who serve as coaches, such as the famous Bill Russell, or Dave Debuscher. By the way, Russell is also the first black head coach in the NBA. Debuscher Hall became the head coach of the NBA at the age of 24, the youngest head coach in the history of the league, I didn't expect it.
When Russell was also a player-coach, his results were very good. He led the Celtics to two championships after eight consecutive championships. Debusschere was much worse.
Correspondingly, there have been some players who also served as coaches in football, and some of them have achieved very good achievements.
But it must be noted that the model of players and coaches in the NBA is not only rare, but also concentrated in the 60s!
That was the ancient era of basketball. Compared with the increasingly standardized and professional NBA today, the NBA at that time was far less professional.
To give a simple example, the technique of jump shots was first used by the Philadelphia Warriors (Cash State Warriors) player Paul Alisin in the early 50s, because jump shots can better avoid blocks, and soon the entire league began to use them. Jump shot technique.
What's interesting is that the rules of basketball related to free throws have never clearly stated that the player who takes the free throw cannot take off. Whether it is the FIBA or NBA rules, it is clearly written: Players can shoot in any way, but when the basketball touches the Nets Or before a goal is scored, the free thrower must not enter the free throw line!So those guys who can punish themselves and grab themselves are really awesome.
But why don't these players take free throws the way they normally do with jump shots?
Because taking off will reduce the stability of the body, and the shooting percentage will naturally decrease.
Therefore, the method of not jumping for late shots is actually suspected of reversing the history of history, but his shooting speed is super fast and his shooting rate is terrifyingly high. Naturally, many people will learn from his method.
Closer to home, from these small details, it can be seen that the current NBA is completely different from the ancient times. Both players and coaches have completely different tasks.
So Pippen bad-mouthed the Warriors, saying that they were finished, and this time it was really not brainless.
Old Nelson was taken to the hospital, but the game continued. The assistant referee came over and informed the Warriors that they had 2 minutes to prepare, and the second quarter would start soon.
The first assistant coach Harris seemed uneasy. He never thought that he would take command at this time-wait a minute?It seems that in the end Downey pointed to being late, and then pointed to the tactical board?Does it mean to let him command the team?
It's not that Harris doesn't want to take responsibility, but that he knows very well that his abilities are not enough.
After working with Late for a season, he has been completely convinced by Late. Even if the opportunity to become the head coach is close at hand, Harris finally dare not take the risk.
So he immediately made a choice: "Chi, before Downey fainted, he meant to let you manage the team, and we will do our best to assist you."
He didn't refuse to be late, but just glanced at his teammates: "Donnie fainted, do you want to use an ugly game to make him continue to worry?"
Horford was a young man with a fresh blood, and immediately said loudly: "Of course not!"
I ignored him for being late, just looked at the main starters: "Look at the score on the field yourself. In just one quarter, the Suns led us by 19 points! At this time, you can still underestimate your opponents. ?"
As he spoke, he first named the veteran Grant Hill: "Grant, what do you think?"
Old Nelson's sudden fainting had a great impact on these players, and of course it also made them sober a lot.
Hill is a very gentlemanly player. He immediately showed a bit of embarrassment when he heard the words, and whispered: "Sorry, I will make adjustments immediately."
Then he was late and glanced at Milicic again: "Dako, what do you think of your performance today?"
Milicic wanted to say, brother, I didn't swell at all, it was my teammates who brought me up.
But seeing the eyes of the boss, Milicic immediately got excited, raised his head and stood upright: "My performance is not good."
There was no need for a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and there was no roll call for being late. A smart person like Roy immediately came to his senses.
"We don't have much time, and then we have to make some adjustments to our tactics. Their tactics today are to try their best to improve the rhythm and attack our lack of defensive ability when our team's foothold is not stable."
Having said that, Wan Lai raised his head and glanced at his teammates.
Finding that everyone, including the substitute players, was listening intently, he immediately nodded his head imperceptibly. Old Nelson's illness was worrying, but his fainting woke up the players.
Especially Gasol, who is already eager to try.
But being late wasn't going to put him on the field.
Late held the tactical board and made personnel adjustments: "AF, you start in the second quarter, pay attention to follow Stoudemire closely, don't let him catch the ball easily, if he catches the ball, pay attention to close confrontation, don't Let him rush up easily."
"Daco, you have a big advantage against Diaw, and when we're attacking, I want you to get in the paint and get in position, secure our rebounds, and if you can, you'll get more authority. "
"Brandon, Stephen, the Suns have a strong defensive ability on the perimeter. Marion and Bell are both top perimeter defenders in the league, but Nash is not! No matter who is playing against him, he must be more determined when attacking. , It is forbidden to shoot large two-pointers with one step inside the three-point line, we are too far behind now, and we must use three-pointers to chase points."
"After pulling Stoudemire out, we can shoot boldly with confidence, and everyone except me stepped up to attack the offensive rebound."
Harris was stunned at the sidelines. With so many points behind, he didn't strengthen his defense, but strengthened his offense?If Downey heard it, he would be very happy.
Little Gasol, who didn't get the task, looked disappointed and looked at the lateness with innocent eyes.
Late patted his waist: "Mark, don't worry, there will definitely be your playing time later."
After all, he called all his teammates to his side: "Brothers, let's use a wonderful comeback to win, and pray for Downey."
He didn't say anything inspiring, but simply made some minor adjustments to the team's tactics.
Just at this time, the referee's seat also came to remind that the second quarter of the game was about to start.
After a brief pause, the Warriors' key battle against the Suns continued.
Al Horford replaced Harrington, who has had a lot of ups and downs in recent games. This choice is somewhat unexpected.
Barkley said: "The adjustment of the Warriors is very bold. In this critical battle, they actually chose to believe in this year's rookie. I just don't know who suggested this substitution adjustment."
Miller is quite confident in Horford, and said with a smile: "This year, the Warriors unexpectedly did not choose Durant, but used their second pick to select Horford, which put him under a lot of unnecessary pressure, but In fact, judging from the performance in the first month, Horford is actually more powerful than Durant and more suitable for the Warriors. I believe there must be a reason for the Warriors to replace him at this critical time."
Why did the Warriors trade Horford?
It's simply because Horford is more comprehensive and easy to use than Harrington, and...his attack ability is stronger.
It's unbelievable to say, but it's true. Although Horford is only a first-year rookie, he is really easier to use than Harrington.
Harrington was not very strong in the first place. He was a second-rate star in the league at most. He is typically strong offensively and weak defensively. Now that he has won the championship and has several sponsorship contracts from Chinese companies, he is a bit hopeless now. The taste of hopelessness has caused his strength to decline rapidly this season. In the November game, his performance was very unstable, and his overall efficiency dropped a lot compared to last season.
But Horford was even more aggressive. He was late before the start of the season and asked him to practice three-pointers. This guy did the same, which really allowed him to develop his three-pointer ability. With Dunton's stronger confrontation and defensive ability, he will naturally like to use him more late.
Being late is not afraid that Harrington will be dissatisfied because of this. The team needs to make regular adjustments. Those players who lack fighting spirit and want to retire after receiving honors cannot stay in the team forever. This is for everyone. Neither is a good thing.
