Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 318 The Significance of the System

Under Wade's active performance, the Lakers blossomed more, and even Artest's six-veined sword-like three-pointer also opened up.This gave Jim more confidence. He quickly deployed a lineup of one big and four small ones. The good-handed Artest took the fourth position, which could pull a Piston insider to the outside and weaken the defensive strength of the insider. And Kobe topped the small forward, allowing Wade to face up more against the Pistons' weakest defense, Michael Reed.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers had a 46-34 lead.

With the tragic offensive ability of the Pistons and the defensive strength of the Lakers, it is about 10 points behind, and it is not easy to recover.

Wade's popularity in the team is good, but Larry Brown's reputation among players is quite bad. The Dream Six suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo, and he even had a bad relationship with many first-tier stars in the league. Die Larry Brown.

With such a positive opportunity for revenge, the Lakers players are also happy to help Wade vent their anger, frequently creating opportunities for him, making cakes, blocking people, and stretching space.

As a result, the purple No. 3 turned the inside line of the Pistons known as the no-fly zone upside down. Ben Wallace was exhausted and made up for the leaks everywhere; Larry Brown went from complacent to restless to furious, and finally sat on the bench with a livid face Not a word.

97 to 76, the Lakers beat the Pistons. Wade performed well, contributing 26 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. Among them, after chasing the big cap Eddie Jones, he grabbed the rebounds one-stop The fast break, assisting Kobe to complete the alley-oop dunk is the most exciting shot.

"I need this victory very much. My players are fighting for me to be the head coach of the All-Star Game. Thank them. They are always ready. For example, Dwyane, when the team needs him to play, he is there. Can show the energy that it deserves, tear the opponent's defense, and bring the team victory. Of course, the other players are the same, I never care if they are rookies or veterans, how famous they are before, are they playing the right way Playing, no matter who it is, as long as they play energy on the court and can lead the team to the lead, then I will put him on the court and arrange tactics for him. It's very important to attack from the corner and let the opponent have no way to restrict it. The fun of basketball is the ever-changing, I don't want players to be like machines, follow the arrows and instructions drawn on the floor."

Compared with the proud Jim, Larry Brown's mood is not so beautiful.

In his view, a person like Jim who has never been in contact with professional basketball is not worthy of being a coach at all. This kind of "playing" coaching is an insult to this position.Losing to the team led by Jim was even more unbearable.

At the press conference, Larry Brown was black-faced all the time, and only a few words were repeated over and over again, "We should play the ball correctly." "We didn't play the ball correctly."

"I guess next week, the Pistons players don't even think about leaving the training facility before twelve o'clock."

"And they had to wear earplugs, because Larry Brown would record them on a tape recorder and play them on loop in the gym."

"Poor Ben... didn't even have time to say a few words to him today."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not pitiful at all. The Pistons are simply perfect for him. You don't need to attack, just concentrate on defending and grabbing rebounds. He is almost becoming a hero in Detroit."

On the plane to Cleveland, the players played cards and talked about a moment of silence for the Pistons.

On the other side, Jim was wearing a blindfold and headphones, playing a lullaby on a single loop, hoping to let himself rest quietly for a while. Compared with those players whose hormones were bursting and their energy was exploding, his body was obviously not enough.

"I think I finally know why Phil never answers any calls after ten o'clock in the evening. This year's off-season, I will also take a vacation for myself, find a deserted island, turn off all communication devices and stay for two Months.” After several failed attempts to fall asleep, Jim gave up the treatment, feeling extremely tired but not being able to sleep was an uncomfortable experience.

The only good news is that before the away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team has two days to adjust.

After experiencing the popularity at the beginning of the season, the record of the Cavaliers has fallen back recently. The true level of Drew Gooden and Eric Snow has been exposed. Robert Traylor has nothing but weight. The only person who can help LeBron James is Zaidrunas Ilgauskas.

湖人兵不血刃地以103比88客场击败骑士，詹姆斯空砍29分10篮板9助攻的准三双，但湖人7人得分上双，主力阵容三节打卡。

"Everyone on the Lakers is scoring. When there are players open on the court, the ball can be transferred to them. When the ball is actively flowing on the court, the player's participation will also increase, and the shooting rate will increase. The other way around For the Cavaliers, the ball is concentrated in the hands of LeBron James. Other players basically have no ability to handle the ball. The offensive role is basically only catch and shoot. The participation in other aspects is very low. Anyone who has played knows that when you I couldn’t touch the ball for several rounds, and when I received the ball in the next round, but was asked to make a shot, my emotions were very complicated. No one wants to defend the whole game without even a chance to dribble. Knowing that Paul Silas was a blue-collar when he played, but he can't make all the players on the team blue-collar. When I was playing, I would think about when to play a few to whom to make him happy .” Charles Barkley criticized the Cavaliers’ game strategy on TNT’s show.

"Give me a LeBron James, and I'll coach like that. Any star has the ball in his hands to get the most out of him... So, that's why I can't be a head coach, I can only Reason for bickering with you here. We played with Hakeem, stars like him or Michael Jordan don't need a system, just give them the ball and they can make you kneel and watch god every game But basketball is for five people, like Scott Brooks, Mario Alley, including me, all need appropriate tactics to play comfortably...Scott can always understand the intention of Coach Rudy at the first time, I think he can be a good head coach in the future... far away, what I want to say is, I agree with you, the Cavaliers need to change. The Lakers have done this very well. Phil Jackson put What he did in the Bulls has been well transplanted, and we can often see Kobe running tactics in the first half and then bursting out to close the game in the second half.” Kenny Smith rarely agreed with Barkley.

However, Jim's dream of being an All-Star head coach may come to an end. The Suns continue to make great strides over there. The head star Steve Nash also surpassed Kobe and Duncan in the MVP rankings and came to the first place.
