NBA: I, the god of the front

Smith believes he can do it, but the team's record has nothing to do with him, as long as they don't get injured.

"Okay, we can go back now." Smith said with a smile, "I will give this report to Steve personally. Whether we will play or not depends on his decision."

Yang Yang, who had just cheered up, was instantly drowned by a basin of cold water, feeling that something was really going on here.

When I returned to the training hall, the internal competition was over, and it took more than an hour to go back and forth.

Reporters have already appeared in the stadium, but the players have not all left. Mills and the others are still training in a targeted manner with the help of assistant coaches.

Especially in front of Harden, three or four reporters were facing the camera.

Yang Yang saw Harden appearing on the court wearing training clothes early in the morning. Although he did not participate in the match, he had already started personal training.

This is also as Wu Man analyzed, Harden can recover from injury in the next week.

So tomorrow's game is very important to Yang Yang.

"Yang, I will go to interview Nash and ask you how you are going to play tomorrow. You can rest assured to train." Wu Man said, and then led Peng Liang to start walking towards Nash.

Yang Yang didn't think much, and immediately came to Vaughan and told the report.

Vaughan thought for a while, and had no choice but to signal for training.

It's only ten o'clock in the evening, and it's still training time.

Yang Yang dragged his training clothes and started shooting.

Because the mission of the system is the second stage, there are no specific missions at present, and the past missions can only be strengthened.

After a total of five hundred three-pointers, the hit rate reached a terrifying 45%.

Seeing such a high hit rate, Vaughn was too scared to make a sound.

And Nash has accepted the post-match interview and has not responded positively to the questions raised by Wu Man.

Then he looked at Yang Yang who was training on the field, and hurried back to the hotel with some embarrassment.

In the hotel room, D'Antoni has been waiting for a long time.

Nash and Vaughn arrived one after another, and the coaching staff has all arrived.

With the review report given by Smith, Nash said solemnly, "Young's injury has been concluded and he can play."

D'Antoni still folded his arms and said, "Steve, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

This is Nash urgently called a meeting of the coaching staff, only the coaching staff, general manager Max did not attend.

As the head coach, it is necessary for Nash to put aside the general manager's control over tactics and games.

Vaughn still hasn't figured out why this meeting is held, and it's an emergency meeting.

Nash took a deep breath and said first, "Let me explain first that I have called everyone to come to a meeting. There is a very important matter to discuss with you."

"Kyrie Irving sent me a message after the Trail Blazers game. Made it very clear that he didn't want him to be benched in the fourth quarter. Even though I explained my intentions, it didn't seem to work."

D'Antoni also received the same message and explained Nash's intentions, but he did not get Irving's approval.

Irving's attitude is very straightforward, he must stay on the court in the fourth quarter and lead the team to win the game.

This result shows one thing, that is, Owen is dissatisfied with being hidden in the fourth quarter, and even more dissatisfied with the coach's use of Yang Yang.

So this meeting is very necessary.

After everyone learned what Irving meant, Vaughn was the first to stand up and object, "Of course we won't hide an All-Star player in the snow, but this is just an ordinary game. The coach needs to create a new lineup for the next preparations for the playoffs.”

"That's right, we need to work out more lineups for the playoffs. But Irving doesn't seem to agree with our arrangement, so I want to ask everyone's opinions." Nash took out his notebook and began to record seriously .

Although Nash is the head coach, it is only the first time to lead the team. In terms of experience, there are still many shortcomings.

Meetings and taking notes are all necessary growth in the coaching position.

As an old coach, D'Antoni has his own way of dealing with player problems.

At this time, he also affirmed, "Irving, as the core, should stand up and lead the team forward when Kevin and Harden are not present. His idea is correct, but he is a little excited."

"I think it's about getting the game done while you're working on the new lineup. So, Steve, I think Irving should be on the floor in the fourth quarter."

Nash carefully recorded D'Antoni's opinions, and then looked at the other assistants.

David Van der Poel affirmed, "It's not a problem to run the new lineup for the playoffs, but for some not very important games, Irving can be truceed directly, so that he can avoid his complaints."

"Yes, this is a good way." Brian Keefe affirmed, "Since you don't want to complain to Irving, you can simply let him truce selectively, and you can also give up some not very important games."

Nash had already planned in his heart, but he didn't want to dominate the family and give full play to the role of the coaching staff.

After everyone was silent, they all hoped that Nash could give an affirmation.

After taking down everyone's opinions, Nash asked again, "Well, everyone can talk about Yang as a player. How should we treat and use him in the next game."

D'Antoni was the first to stand up and deny, "A player with a short contract is just to solve the team's temporary needs. After Harden comes back, our lineup will become stronger, with offense greater than defense."

"I don't think Yang didn't help the team." Vaughn, as the coach of the Spurs, has always admired Popovich's team tactics, especially the team needs a defensive core, and Yang is what he is looking for. the one.

D'Antoni smiled and said, "I know Mr. Vaughn, you value his defense, but you have to understand that our team has three sharp knives, and the knives can see blood."

"If we put our energy into defense again, will our offensive talent be wasted?"

Vaughan also affirmed, "Mr. D'Antoni, don't forget the finals between the Spurs and the Heat in 14. Without Kawhi's defense against James, the Spurs would not have won the championship that year."

"You mean, Yang is the Kawhi of the Nets?" D'Antoni obviously didn't pay attention to Yang's ability.

Vaughan shook his head and said, "Yang's physical talent is not outstanding, but his training attitude and the active defense he has shown in these games, I believe that in the future, he will definitely become the team's defensive vanguard."

"Of course, we can do without his offense. But if a team is not willing to do the dirty work, can Durant be allowed to defend the opponent's core? Don't forget, during the Thunder period, there was Sefoloza, the defensive leader, and the Warriors had Iguodala, who is the Nets now?"

Nash is very satisfied with Vaughn's suggestion and is intending to make Young the Warriors' Iguodala.

D'Antoni still spread his hands and smiled, "Haha, in the small ball era, we have enough offensive players, but the defense is covered by the offense. Don't forget that we still have Mills and the young Clarkston."

The coaching philosophy of the two is different, and the results obtained are naturally different.

Vaughan is well aware of D'Antoni's coaching philosophy, so he doesn't say more, and can only leave the question to Nash.

Nash nodded in satisfaction.
