God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 476 The atmosphere is subtle
Between the third and fourth games, the entire Pistons team was almost deaf to the outside world. They spent almost all day in the training hall, tirelessly doing the movements they had done countless times in the previous training sessions.In Brown's view, this is a punishment, because they played really badly in the third game. If they don't give them a little punishment, they might make such mistakes.

Chang Wei didn't think it was a big deal, but it's not a bad thing to let these guys practice more, they are still a little slow to enter the game.This was the case in the last game. The speed of the Pistons players entering the state was more than one beat slower than that of the Lakers. This made them passive in the first quarter, and they could not recover this big loss in the end.

However, the players have no complaints about such a training arrangement. They only scored 78 points and lost 18 points in the game. It undoubtedly sounded the alarm for them, and made them feel ashamed of their previous desire to sweep their opponents 4-0.Now they don't think about anything else, they only hope to defeat their opponents and get the match point in the next game, which is the primary task.

Out of prudent considerations, Brown still sent a regular starting lineup in the fourth game, but before the game he repeatedly urged in the locker room: "I think you should all remember the experience of the last game. For an experienced team like the Lakers, if you fail to enter the state quickly, you are looking for death. I ask you to tense your nerves and muscles from the first second of the game, and show all the content of the usual training sessions. I will watch again If anyone gets soy sauce, come down and rest!"

Brown's voice wasn't too loud, and his tone wasn't too heavy, but the Pistons players shivered with excitement. If they were to be left on the bench in such an important game, it would be better to just let them die.Even if the team can successfully get the match point at that time, it has nothing to do with me. Who can let go of this face?
On the day of the game, the Pistons first came to the Staples Center to warm up. At this time, the stands were empty. Obviously, the staff had not yet started to let the fans enter.There is nothing to say about the warm-up, and Chang Wei doesn't need to stare at him deliberately. Now his status in the team is quite high. It is enough for other assistant coaches to follow this trivial matter. He can stand aside and make soy sauce.

After the Pistons warmed up, they met the Lakers who had just entered the field head-on.Chang Wei felt a little strange about this. Before the start of the last game, the two sides basically warmed up together. Occasionally, the Lakers would come a little earlier. Why was it suddenly so late today?And when passing by them, Chang Wei vaguely noticed that the atmosphere in the Lakers team was a bit subtle.

When they were behind 0 to 2 before, the Lakers players could still laugh and play before warming up, Zen master didn't care about them, but now the big score has become 1 to 2, why is the atmosphere of the whole Lakers team even more intense? dignified?Moreover, Zen master's complexion is not very good at first glance. Those who don't know think that this old man who has always been in front of the mountain collapses without changing his face is sick!
Soon Chang Wei found the guy who was suspected of being a source of negative energy, Ma Long, who was alone at the end of the team with a gloomy face.In Chang Wei's opinion, this guy should still be worried about being put on the bench in the last game, even if the team won in the end.Judging by his face, it should be Zen Master telling him that he will continue to be a substitute in this game. With Malone's character, it is normal to blow up, but this is not good news for the Lakers, and it may weaken the team. force.

Originally, Chang Wei thought it would be a conflict between the OK combination. This season, more than one media has revealed that Kobe and O'Neal are not used to each other. However, in the last game, O'Neal was very active inside and should be able to temporarily suppress Kobe. Dissatisfaction with him.But Malone's state is also beneficial to the Pistons. The weakening of the enemy is the strengthening of oneself!
The 18 points and 12 rebounds in the third game allowed Chang Wei to see Ma Long's professionalism, but it is worth noting that his points were basically scored when he led the bench. It's hard to get a shot when you're on the court with a few other stars, and maybe that's why he's uncomfortable with his status.

After returning to the locker room, Chang Wei told Brown his observation and analysis. The old man gave him a half-smile look, nodded and said nothing.He has always felt that he did not fully see this assistant. Every time he thought he had recognized all of Chang Wei's abilities, he would always be surprised again inadvertently. It seemed that bringing Chang Wei to Detroit was indeed the right thing to do. things.What Brown didn't understand the most was that Popovich recommended Chang Wei to him. The Spurs are also a team with both strength and potential. Why didn't Chang Wei choose to go to San Antonio?But this is Chang Wei's privacy, and he doesn't ask Brown if he doesn't talk about it.

This time, Chang Wei observed the weird atmosphere in the Lakers team again. Brown had to admit that he had a feeling, but he couldn't analyze it as carefully as Chang Wei. More importantly, his analysis seemed to be correct.This undoubtedly provided Brown with an idea for the fourth game. When the Lakers put on the main force, it is enough to catch Malone and fight hard.

Zen Master didn't know that someone in the Pistons team saw that his team was abnormal. In fact, he also felt very annoyed.After the last game, Malone made it clear that he didn't want to play as a substitute anymore, but Zen Master has obviously tasted the sweetness. In this game, he still plans to let Malone come on the stage with a substitute lineup, and wait until the second half of the fourth quarter to compete with other main players. Come on stage together.

For Zen Master's arrangement, Malone was very resistant, and in his view, there was no problem with staying in the starting lineup.But Zen Master is used to being one-sided in the team. Not to mention that Malone is a veteran who joined the team only last year, even Kobe and O'Neal dare not stab him face to face.However, for the sake of the stability of the locker room, the Zen master still tried his best to persuade Ma Long, but the latter was still unhappy about it, and he put all his emotions on his face.

Any head coach will be scratching his head when faced with such a thing. After all, Malone is not a rookie who has just entered the league. Although he is almost 40 years old and has never won a championship, he is still the top player in NBA history. One of the power forwards, no one dares to underestimate him because of his status in the world.However, in Zen Master's opinion, it is this kind of talent that is the most difficult to deal with...
