Chapter 420 Another Victory Away

After Stephen broke through and scored a layup, when he came back, Ricky Davis was obsessed with making a shot to regain his face. After halftime, he asked Jason Williams for the ball. Jason Williams did not refuse Ricky. Davis' request, for the players, just lost face, and it is normal to get it back now.

But Stephen also let him take the shot, and Ricky Davis still missed the shot. He continued to ask Jason Williams for the third time, but Jason Williams refused to give it. He even pointed at Jason Williams. James made a threatening expression, and Pat Riley replaced Ricky Davis with Wade after seeing this scene.

I didn't want Wade to play so early, but letting Ricky Davis stay on the court would do too much harm to the team. The method is a great harm to the self-confidence and dignity of the player. If it is a young player, Pat Riley will never do this, but Ricky Davis is already an old fritters. Of course, there is no need to worry about him. question.

Pat Riley has actually planned to hand over the position of head coach this season, and concentrate on continuing to be the general manager of his team. He is not so busy, and he is not under so much pressure, but he is not willing to let himself He came back with a failure and then left, thinking that the adjusted lineup could play a little better than last season, and then he waited until the middle of the season before leaving, and he didn't seem so frustrated.

But now it seems that this lineup is not much better than the previous lineup. It seems that I have to speed up the pace of resignation and resign from the position of head coach. As for the successor, Pat Riley has long been selected. Spoelstra, the scouting director, is his favorite student.

At the beginning, Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy had such a stalemate. One reason was that Pat Riley believed that Stan Van Gundy’s coaching ability and potential were not as good as Spoelster’s. The difference was growing, which Pat Riley couldn't stand.

He believes that this team should play the game according to his team building ideas, because the staffing is based on his ideas, but Stan Van Gundy has his own ideas, and he discovered Spoelstra. Good guy, Pat Riley just drove Stan Van Gundy away.

As soon as this idea came out, Pat Riley lost interest in directing the game. At his age, it was really difficult to do such a mentally exhausting job as a head coach. Fortunately, Spoelstra was there. There are many things that he doesn't need to worry about.

The job of a head coach, for a certain game, mainly consists of three items, one is to formulate the game strategy before the game, the second is to direct the team to deal with the adjustment of the opponent during the game, and the third is to analyze after the game. Now Pat Riley The first and third jobs were handed over to Spoelstra. He was only responsible for the command on the court, and he felt a little lacking in energy.

Call Spoelstra to the front and ask him to pay more attention to the game on the field. If there is anything that needs to be adjusted, tell him. Pat Riley is sitting there, closing his eyes and resting, while thinking about the construction of the team He is used to thinking about problems from the position of the general manager, and he is not used to asking him to do detailed work like the head coach.

Seeing Stephen galloping freely on the field, neither Anfernee Hardaway nor Wade can do anything about him, Pat Riley regretted it a bit. If he had known that the Spurs were so easy to let go, he should have stepped up his pursuit. At the beginning, Pat Riley felt that the Spurs would definitely not let go. Even if other people offered a contract, the Spurs would definitely match it.

With Stephen's sudden outburst, the Sonics opened up the score difference. At this time, Spoelstra made adjustments. Although Spoelstra asked Pat Riley what he thought, Pat Riley shook his head and didn't say a word. Although the adjustment didn't suit his mind, it's normal for Spoelstra to take a shot on the spot for the first time.

Let him start from this game and learn how to be a head coach. Pat Riley didn't give advice on Spoelstra's adjustments on the spot, but planned to tell him what to do after the game. It is also to establish Spoelstra's majesty as soon as possible so that he can succeed himself.

Watching the score gap widen step by step, Pat Riley didn't seem to notice it. Now all his thoughts are on the team's long-term planning. Now more than half of the players in this team will be in the team. The contract expires this season or next season. Except for Wade, who is still in the team's long-term planning, there is no need to stay.

Originally, with Wade as the core, some young players were selected through the draft, and then some veterans were recruited from the free player market, so that a competitive lineup could be formed. The championship has launched an impact, but the Boston Celtics have formed a lineup with the Big Three this summer.

Originally, Pat Riley was always vigilant about the Celtics. Having a Pistons team in the East was already a headache. After finally dismantling the Pistons through various means, who knew that another one would be even more troublesome. Celts.

A team with a rich history like the Celtics cannot sink forever, and it takes a long time for a team to revive, and the Celtics have accumulated enough in the past few years. All elements, whether they exchanged half of the team for Kevin Garnett, or used a lot of chips to trade Ray Allen, are the savings of these years.

Angie, the old fox, is an opponent that Pat Riley has always attached great importance to. Although in recent years, a large number of outstanding management talents such as Vivić, Joe Dumars, Larry Bird, and Kupchak have emerged in the league. On the contrary, the Celtics have not changed much, but Pat Riley knows that this is just the slump of a great team. If there is a glorious past, there must be a downturn. From sinking to revival, from revival to glory, and then into the next reincarnation.

After the success of the Celtics' Big Three lineup of Pierce, Ray Allen, and Garnett, Pat Riley aimed his biggest opponent in the East at the Celtics. Very smart players, and the kind of technical style and characteristics that can coexist, and the conflicts in positions are not too strong. After such a lineup is successfully formed, it will inevitably attract many free players who are interested in the championship. At least three to Five years on, this lineup is very competitive.

To deal with the Celtics, the means used by the Pistons are not very effective. It seems that the Heat have to develop in the direction of stardom, and this star can't be like Gary Payton. , must be a star player in his prime.

However, such players are hard to come by, and only if there is a chance, very few teams will trade their star players, unless the contract is about to expire and the player himself does not intend to renew the contract, otherwise Who would trade a legitimate star player.

It's a pity that Stephen was not recruited this summer. Seeing that Stephen is still showing himself unstoppably on the court, although he has some conflicts with Wade's style of play and technical style, these are not unsolvable. Pat Riley is not at ease.

Stephen is not like other people. He already has two championship rings in his hands, and he has also won two consecutive Finals Most Valuable Players. What such a player lacks most now is personal honor, and what he needs most is statistics. Pat Riley is most worried about not sacrificing his own data for the championship.

No, the third quarter is not over yet, and Stephen has already scored [-] plus points again. If it were any other team, there would be so many shots for him to squander. Only the Sonics are almost a blank sheet of paper Only a good team can let him play freely. Seeing his free and easy performance on the court, Pat Riley knows that this is what Stephen wants most.

It is necessary to find a star player who does not lack personal honor and is extremely eager for the championship, but such a player is not easy to find, but at least he has a direction, so what he has to do is to be like Kyle a few days ago Like the Specialists, reduce salary space and accumulate hard currency such as draft picks, so that you will not miss the opportunity.

The Sonics once again won an away game, and the opponent is still a strong team like the Heat. Up to now, the Sonics have won five consecutive victories away from home, but they have not won a game at home. It is very incomprehensible.

Stephen scored 43 points, 32 rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steal and [-] blocks. Since the beginning of the season, he has scored [-] points in nine consecutive games. At the same time, as an outside player, he has blocked shots in [-] consecutive games, which is also a record. .

Coupard scored 23 points and [-] rebounds, and beat O'Neal who only scored [-] points and [-] rebounds statistically. However, O'Neal only played [-] minutes in this game. After seeing the team's commander become After Spoelstra, O'Neal knew that the team had no hope for this game, so he took a rest with knee soreness.

None of the Heat team scored [-] points, and the Sonics not only scored nearly [-] points for Coupard, Durant also scored [-] points, and Delonte West also contributed After scoring eleven points and winning the victory, the Sonics set off overnight to Atlanta, where their next opponent is located.
