1524. Coach Hollins' decision (6th full 100W
The Thunder clearly won 5 and lost 5, but Westbrook was actually yelled to the sky.
Sun Ce doesn't think Westbrook is not strong. Obviously, Westbrook's ability is definitely very strong if he can average triple-double per game.
However, after personally feeling the sensation caused by Westbrook's average triple-double data, as a player, even if Sun Ce knew about it, he thought it was a hell.
Sun Ce knew very well that this situation would not last long. As time progressed, it might be one year or two years. Later, the more ruthless the fans were now, the more they would be.
What you brag now and what you brag in the future will probably be the same group of people.
So Sun Ce will not take the initiative to do similar things and find ways to win games, which is more important than getting more triple-doubles.
But Sun Ce still felt that the sensation caused by Westbrook's 10 games was too much.
After a good look at the forum, Sun Ce found a possibility.
In the past three seasons, Mr. Sun has won a total of 52 triple-doubles, and in his first four years of career, he has won 59 triple-doubles.
During this period, his team was getting stronger and stronger, so the triple-double became a very important performance in the eyes of fans.
Moreover, when Westbrook got a triple-double, he had 4 wins and 1 loss, and his winning rate reached 80%.
When Westbrook didn't get a triple-double, he had 1 win and 4 losses, and his winning rate was only 20%.
When Sun Ce saw this analysis, at first glance, it made sense.
But if you think about it carefully... if you don’t get a triple-double, does it mean that you lose the defensive rebound and that when the offense is not well organized, Westbrook will not be able to lead the team to win?
It is not a good thing to tie the winning and the triple-double together. From the beginning, you are aiming for a triple-double. If you can get a triple-double, you will definitely play very smoothly in most cases. If you don’t get a triple-double, it means you will play.
If it doesn't work well, you won't win the ball in most cases.
...
Regarding fans, the media almost morbidly praised Westbrook, but Sun Ce did not refute anything.
As a professional basketball player, you can't go against the fans, offending the fans is the stupidest behavior.
The main reason is that there is no benefit. Even his fans of Sun were shocked by Westbrook's triple-double performance.
If Westbrook continues like this, he will have thirty triple-doubles in at least one season?
This is something that Sun Ce has never done before.
After breakfast, Sun Ce came to Staples Center again to meet his teammates. Tomorrow, on the 20th, he would play a game here and fight the Clippers.
Due to the team's health crisis, only 11 players can play. Sun Ce learned that the boss Robert Pera is joining forces with other teams with many injuries this season to apply to the league to expand the 15-man roster.
Sun Ce does not think that the roster can be expanded, and many teams will object, and there is a high probability that they will fail.
After all, the Warriors were injured and only 7 people were left to play, and none of them passed such an application.
Even if it succeeds, it will not officially expand the 15-man roster. It is estimated that an operation similar to a future two-way contract will occur.
The boss is going to find a way to spend money... Isn't it just spend money to expand the roster? A veteran's basic salary is more than one million, so there are probably many teams who won't agree.
Coach Hollins also needs to make adjustments.
Fatigue, this cannot be solved.
It is said that the professional sports league is the one who needs exercise the most to watch the one who needs rest the most. Coach Hollins is very clear about this.
For two consecutive years, from the preseason to the end of the finals, they have to play more than eight months of games every year, and the last rest time is less than four months.
In fact, this cannot meet the players' rest needs, and it may be much better if one more month is added.
But there is no way. They have won two consecutive championships. If they want to win the championship, they have to take on these things.
Moreover, this is a certain thing. No one is so stupid that he is afraid of being tired next season, so he will not compete for the championship this season.
Therefore, in the summer, the Grizzlies have introduced a large number of young players to supplement the depth of the lineup.
It is only from Beverly and Prince that role players also have a risk of injury, and perhaps a higher risk of injury than stars.
Beverly's playing style is destined to be unable to protect his health. He is too hard, and fighting is the most popular trait among his teammates, teams, and his own team fans.
Similar to Beverly, Tony Allen is also. Since Tony Allen entered the NBA, he has not finished a healthy season and is missing 10 or 20 games every year.
Prince is old.
Other young players also have the risk of injury. Livingston is not suitable for playing for too long and has a terrible injury history. Moreover, over the years, they have been playing role players who are at most over 10 minutes.
Hadaway, the little one, had good combat power as soon as he entered the NBA, but there were risks when he first entered the basketball world of adults.
Gobert is too good to go to the Development League to find confidence. He scored 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block for the Lakers. It's OK, but it's still useless.
Coach Hollins feels it’s too difficult!
We must consider running-in, player growth, future, health, defend the title, and record...
It is not difficult to separate these things. Even if two or three events are concentrated in one season, there is a way to solve them.
But now, they have reached a time for all the troubles and problems!
After two consecutive championships, all kinds of troubles encountered followed one after another, which was even more difficult than the difficulties coach Hollins imagined.
Coach Hollins couldn't help but sigh that from the 1970s to the present, more than 40 years have passed, and only Zen masters have completed three consecutive championships, and there have been several times in two consecutive championships, but whether it is Pat Riley or Check
Neither Kedley nor Tom Janovic could finish defending the title.
Those teams have tried and tried hard. After two consecutive championships, they must have tried every means to establish a dynasty, but they all failed.
This time he also felt the difficulties of the dynasty.
On the morning of the 19th, I took the team members to conduct simple technical training... Without tactical training, the Clippers are currently the last in the Western Conference, with 1 win and 10 losses at the beginning. There is nothing to prepare for, just technical training to see the feeling.
In the afternoon, Coach Hollins held a meeting with his coaching staff and management to communicate.
Many coping strategies were discussed, but because of objective conditions, they all felt that they were just simple discussions and arguments.
Finally, coach Hollins made the decision: "We will let Noah, Clay and Paul play more, so that they can exercise their abilities in the game. The three of them perform well, and we will not have any problems with most opponents.
Chapter completed!
