316. The coach’s tears are flying

Some things can be accepted without them, but it would be better if they had them.

As a basketball player, he can accept changes in role functionality.

But if he can be more involved in organizing the offense and cooperating with the organization of the offense, as long as he has some enthusiasm, he will naturally be happier and participate more actively.

Maybe he is not that sensitive and cannot subjectively understand any changes, but instinctively he will feel happier.

The players on the Trail Blazers' second team felt this way.

Kevin Plit looked at the coach who was chatting happily with Liu Xiu, and felt that he was not that suitable to be a coach.

Although he also supports Liu Xiu's switch to shooting guard and understands the benefits.

But in the past period of time, he had worked hard every day and was exhausted from thinking, and he could not think of a good way to help the team complete the adjustment.

The coach has never been so worried. It's not that the coach hasn't worked hard during this period. He has worked very hard, but he is not anxious. What he keeps saying is "it doesn't matter if the adjustment fails."

The current situation proves that the coach is right. There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. If it is done, it will be done, and it cannot be pushed back.

The chief assistant coach feels that he should give up this position...

Entering another rotation, Payton and Raheem led the team and played well.

At this stage, Payton didn't show much ability to organize offense. Basically, Raheem and Derrick Anderson split the ball in isolation. Payton's ability to cooperate with the inside on the defensive end was demonstrated. As a point guard, Payton covered the defense on the flanks.

The double attack on the edge of the three-second zone is actually not much worse than his single defense, otherwise he would not win the best defensive player.

A mediocre performance was enough against the Grizzlies.

Until now, the Grizzlies have no energy left, and they just have to write 'We are scared' on their faces.

At the beginning, all they thought about was taking advantage, not 'we want to avenge last season's sweep of the playoffs'.

They don't have such strong leaders.

In the original time and space, when the Grizzlies were swept by the Spurs in the 2003-04 playoffs, from the 2004-05 season until Gasol was traded to the Lakers in the middle of the 07-08 season, the Grizzlies and Spurs

The teams played against each other 14 times, with 13 losses and 1 win. The only win was when Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis and was injured during the 2004-05 season.

Kobe conquered Gasol when the Lakers played the Grizzlies in the 2006-07 season. Kobe shot 20 of 37 from the field and scored 60 points, leading the Lakers to a narrow victory over the Grizzlies 121-119.

The Trail Blazers were ready to narrow the point difference before halftime. Unexpectedly, the combination led by Payton, Raheem, and Kwame Brown played until the end of the first half, and the Trail Blazers still led 59 to 49.

Grizzlies 10 points.

After returning from the intermission, the Trail Blazers chose to use the combination of Little Flying Squirrel + Warden + Raheem + Butcher + Parallel No. 1 pick, and started a single quarter. The score was 18 to 16 in the first half of the quarter, which really opened up the score.

What was worse was the combination of Warden + Glove + Outlaw + Butcher + McDyess in the second half, which resulted in a score of 12 to 6.

30 to 22 in a single quarter, and after three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Grizzlies by 18 points, 89 to 71!

In the last quarter, Maurice Cheeks tried multiple lineups, Payton + four other players, and Liu Xiu were also among the rotation players.

During this period, the Trail Blazers only scored 18 points, and the Grizzlies scored 25 points, but it did not affect the overall situation.

In the end, Liu Xiu had 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, Payton had 9 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, Randolph had 15 points and 9 rebounds, the Flying Squirrel had 11 points and 4 assists, and Raheem had 14 points and 6 assists.

3 assists on the board...The Trail Blazers defeated the Grizzlies 107-96, improving their record to 7 wins and 1 loss!

After all, Payton was still considered a superstar during the 2003-04 season. After joining a new team, his performance improved significantly. After the game, Payton was invited by Fox Sports for a post-game interview.

Liu Xiu, Randolph and others got together to talk about nicknames.

Liu Xiu said to Rahim: "Sharif, I think you should have a nickname."

Rahim hesitated and said: "My family doesn't like me having a nickname..."

"How old are you? Do your parents have to decide on a nickname?"

"...The nicknames we use in private are still okay, but we hope not to let too many people know." Rahim still couldn't bear the excitement.

However, even though he agreed to the nickname because he was provoked, Rahim still looked at Liu Xiu expectantly.

Liu Xiu thought for a while: "Let me call you Bishop. I heard that you are religious, so if your parents accidentally find out, it will be justified."

Rahim: "Uh... Warden, I was originally a candidate for the dean."

"Bishop, that's great. You accepted the setting so quickly. I'm optimistic about you."

"..."

Rahim was helpless and thought for a while but still refused to explain.

His teammates were so ruthless that they didn't notice that he had lost more than ten pounds from the middle of last month to the middle of this month?

Everyone only remembers that the warden gained ten pounds!

Rahim was a little happy because he had a nickname! In his opinion, there was still a big difference between having a nickname and having a nickname!

After giving Rahim a nickname, Liu Xiu felt a burning gaze.

"Kwame, what's wrong?"

"Warden, can you also give me a nickname?" Kwame Brown's eyes were full of expectation.

Liu Xiu warmly responded: "You first get rid of the nickname of Parallel Import Number One Scholar."

"Yes! I know!" Kwame Brown was very excited.

Warden:?

Parallel import number one: Once I get rid of the title of parallel import number one, the warden will give me a nickname!

On the other side, the Trail Blazers coach and chief assistant were also chatting, but the coach was in a very unstable mood.

His head assistant told him he no longer wanted to be a coach!

"Watt? Kevin, what do you mean?"

"We can find a better chief assistant coach. My ideas cannot keep up with the new era. If we want to aim for the championship, my ability is indeed not enough."

Maurice Cheeks was so moved that his eyes couldn't contain the dew. He said sincerely: "Kevin, I hope you can think about it carefully. Although you are not adaptable to the new rules now, I believe in you. You will definitely

Can overcome difficulties!"

Kevin Plitchar shook his head: "No, my dream was to become a head coach. Now it seems that my coaching dream has come to an end..."

…

…

At noon on November 18, 2004, the Trail Blazers officially announced that the team's former assistant coach Kevin Plitcha would leave his post and be transferred to the team's vice president, general manager John Nash, and head coach Maurice Cheek.

Si will be the right-hand man of the new vice president.

According to Sports Illustrated, Grizzlies assistant coach Lionel Hollins has accepted the Trail Blazers' invitation to return to his old team, the Trail Blazers, as a tactical coach.

Grizzlies general manager Jerry West has confirmed that Hubie Brown submitted his resignation and respects Hubie Brown's decision.

It is not surprising that Hubie Brown is 71 years old and cannot continue to be the head coach of an NBA team due to health problems.

Hubie Brown resigned, his coaching staff will inevitably be disbanded, the new head coach will have his own team, Lionel Hollins will find his next home, and the Grizzlies agree to let him go. These things should be taken for granted.

, logically, no one is surprised, if the Grizzlies do not agree, a new coach comes later and brings a new coaching staff, the Grizzlies still have to pay Lionel Hollins’ salary. In this case

, of course it’s easy to get together and part ways.

When the Trail Blazers players learned the news, they also congratulated the new team president on his promotion.

Then I saw the scene of the head coach of his team chasing his new boss with the bench, shouting: "You XXX pay me back for the wine money and tears last night..."

Because he was worried about conflict with a certain team member, the vice president has been working out for the past year and ran so fast that the coach couldn't beat him!

On the first day of promotion, the vice president finally had a skin attack.

After all the fuss, the coach was very tired.

Kevin Plitcha has been promoted to vice president. What the coach feels here is that the status of the Warden team is becoming more and more stable!

Who among the management and coaching staff is most spoiled by Warden?

Not the boss, nor his coach, but the former chief assistant and current vice president!

…

At 7 a.m. on November 19, Liu Xiu woke up on time.

"I have performed basic mid-range shooting simulation training for 2 hours, catching and turning and shooting simulation training for 30 minutes, catching and turning and shooting simulation training for 30 minutes... It will cost 477 healing points to extract the simulation training results..."

After gasping for breath, Liu Xiu completed the extraction of simulation training results, and the ability evaluation interface appeared in front of him.

"Host ability evaluation: 84,

Athletic ability: speed 90, strength 92, jumping 86, flexibility 94, physical strength 91.

Basic skills: 72 three-pointers, 83 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 93 ball control, 89 passing accuracy, 84 turns, 69 strides, 79 turn overs, 77 emergency stops...

Skills: Post-up play 88, shooting after dribbling 79, accelerating layup while traveling 79, European step 69, pull-up jump shot 69, fadeaway jump shot 68, rhythm flow breakthrough 79, forward change of direction breakthrough 81..."

After switching to shooting guard, the three basic skills of emergency stop, turn over and turn have been greatly improved. The two skills of emergency stop jump shot and fadeaway jump shot have also improved to a certain extent. The basic skills of mid-range shooting have also improved a bit. I have practical experience and personal scoring skills.

The training direction is clearer and the training is more effective.
