The Lakers are always so good at stealing the limelight. Before the finals begin, when the Bulls come to Memphis, they will break up the coaching staff.

Subsequent reports pointed out that Bickstaff, the old man, did not resign from the Lakers, but only resigned as head coach.

The Lakers want to convince Bickstaff, the old coach who has won the top NBA coaching award, Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, to continue as head coach.

But Bickstaff, the old team, chose to be the head of the scout department of the Lakers before 2011.

Bickstaff, who has served as general manager of NBA teams for many years, started to serve as the head of the scout department when he joined the Lakers in the summer of 2010. In the summer of 2011, Zen Master left, and Lakers management only

Let him serve as Mike Brown's assistant coach.

But later, due to Paul and Kobe's strong demands, Bickstaff had to serve as head coach again and took Mike Brown as an assistant coach for himself.

In recent years, coaching has been the happiest time in his coaching career, and he has won the championship.

According to internal sources, when communicating with the Lakers management, Old Bickstaff said that his set of things would no longer work with the Lakers, mainly because his coaching staff is no longer suitable for the current Lakers.

Re-forming a coaching team...it is better to directly introduce a head coach with a complete coaching team.

Bickstaff, the old team suggested that the team needs to make fundamental changes, further weaken Kobe's role on the field, straighten Leonard, take James as the tactical core, adapt to the new rhythm of the league, and fundamentally play against the team.

Make changes, otherwise, if you can win the sky, you will be able to achieve your current strength.

The Grizzlies won't say that Old Bickstaff doesn't believe that the Grizzlies' lineup has a way to completely retain it. When a team gives Klay Thompson and Larry Sanders the maximum salary offer,

Can't stay at all.

But the Grizzlies cannot be weak, as well as the Warriors and Bulls, these two strong teams, the Spurs and Mavericks, God knows when they will fall, and the Thunder should not be underestimated...

Their traditional positional fighting style of the Lakers is indeed becoming less and less pleasing now, that is, James, Leonard, and Kobe, the outside trio, are very capable and have a strong lineup.

But from the fact that many of them signed with the reinforcement of the lineup last summer were veterans, we can see a problem. The basic skills of young players are getting worse and worse. Traditional positional warfare is becoming less and less suitable for current players. The current positional warfare is more and more difficult.

It is increasingly inclined to the brisk pick-and-roll pass-and-cut style of the Spurs, Mavericks, Warriors, and Hawks, rather than breaking points and back-to-backs.

If you want to defeat the Grizzlies, and Sun Ce may continue to become stronger, you have to make changes, because the Grizzlies are the team with the strongest traditional style of play.

The Grizzlies' core lineup is generally young. Old Bickstaff thinks he can hold on to the traditional style of play for a few more years, but the Lakers can't do it.

...

...

The finals have not yet begun, the ban on interviews and news has not yet been opened, and Sun Ce has also noticed what has happened on the Lakers.

After seeing the news about Old Bickstaff, Sun Ce felt that the Lakers were really special. Most of the other historical giants were constantly dirty. Like the Celtics group, there were so many conflicts.

But the Lakers seem to have always been united. Perhaps this is related to the team culture. After all, the Celtics planned to sell Larry Bird in the 1980s, and they really sold Pierce a few years ago.

But the Lakers' meritorious coach Pat Riley proposed to trade Jordan with the Magic, and was fired directly.

This is just a fun thing for Sun Ce, but the content of communication between Old Bickstaff and Lakers management revealed in the news made Sun Ce very interested.

Sun Ce also felt that the team playing style of pick-and-roll passes and cuts has gradually become the mainstream style of playing for strong teams, but it seems that the Grizzlies are not like this.

For Sun Ce, he is not bound to a certain style of play. If his current style of play is not suitable, he will discuss with the team to try more popular team styles.

It mainly depends on whether it can still work, rather than changing for the sake of change.

The most suitable style of playing is the one that can exert the strongest strength of their lineup.

Sun Ce and his teammates entered a state of intense preparation. The Bulls immediately continued their preparations when they arrived in Memphis. After the third game, the Bulls had already confirmed that the opponent in the finals was the Grizzlies and started early.

Get ready.

On May 31, an interesting news appeared.

The ticket prices in the first four games of the finals skyrocketed, with the average ticket price of the first game reaching US$963, which exceeded the average ticket price of the first game of the 2008 Yellow and Green Wars Finals and the 2010 Finals

The average ticket price for one game is almost the same.

This is not the highest. The highest is in the fourth game. The Bulls' second home game average price reached 1,462 US dollars, which set a new record for the average ticket price in the NBA historical finals!

The highest fourth game in the technical stand opposite the most expensive ticket price in the first row reached US$31,000, breaking the NBA historical record just set in the second game of the Western Conference Finals, with the average ticket in the entire front row area.

The price reached $16,000, which also set a new record for the NBA in the 2013 Finals!

This is just an official ticket sales. For scalpers, three tickets in the middle of the first row directly opposite the technical stand in the fourth game of the finals appeared on the scalper’s online sales platform, with a sky-high price of US$330,000.

As a result, as soon as he was released, he was bought by a young Saudi aristocratic student studying in Chicago.

Some fans jokingly said that although most people in public opinion think that the Grizzlies can't sweep the Bulls, the Bulls don't seem to think so and directly set the official price of their home tickets at the highest price in history.

Moreover, fans are still very honest when buying tickets, and so many people really pay for it!

Under the extremely special public opinion environment, the new month has arrived. On June 1st, the first game day of the finals has arrived!

Sun Ce felt that this year's playoffs were very interesting. The second round and the beginning of the division finals were basically the latest theoretical start time, but the finals began earlier than in previous years.

Today, the Grizzlies' "interview ban" and "public opinion attention ban" have been opened again.

The players have already felt the benefits of abandoning these things that affect their emotions. They have reached the finals, and this aspect is implemented particularly strictly.

This morning, after the pre-match meeting, Sun Ce and his teammates, led by the coaching staff, reviewed the tactical training sessions yesterday and the day before yesterday, and took a rest for an afternoon to nourish their energy.

At 7:40 pm, players from both teams entered the court.

...

Ross was extremely excited at first. After the third game of the Western Conference Finals, although he saw the outrageous strength of the Grizzlies, this excitement greatly weakened the Grizzlies.

The pressure brought to him.

His teammates were in the same mood.

But on the night of the 29th, after the Grizzlies swept the Lakers, Sun Ce claimed to sweep the Bulls to win the championship. Ross and his teammates were extremely angry at the first time because they watched the fourth game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers.

live streaming.

But after being angry, they looked at the performance of the Grizzlies throughout the playoffs this season under the leadership of Sloan and analyzed the performance of the Grizzlies throughout the playoffs, and the others were fine. As the core, Ross and Griffin felt endless pressure!

The Lakers are so strong and stable, and the lineup is so good that people can scold them, but no matter how hard the Lakers work, they can only compete with the Grizzlies at one stage at most. After the whole game, the Grizzlies will win!

This season, the Lakers, who are famous for their steady performance, ended the season and ranked second in the league, were killed by the Grizzlies.

The Warriors, which exploded fiercely this season and officially topped the ranks of powerful men with infinite impact, were also killed by the Grizzlies.

Whether it is a team seeking stability or change, they are swept by the Grizzlies!

But the two could not express their uneasiness. The Bulls players, who have two MVPs, won 12 consecutive victories to the finals, were very upright and had extra motivation because of the other party's remarks.

These are what the two need to use for them. They must show the confidence they should have. Rose, who looks like a bandit, must have bandit spirit, and Griffin, with his muscles, must also have domineering spirit.

On the other side, Sun Ce was also looking at the opposite side.

"Ross S, offensive S-, defense A+, pass S-, three-pointer A, mid-range shot A, layup S... Average 17.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 10.8 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.5 blocks... shooting percentage is 4%

Fourteen, three-point shooting percentage 36%...

Griffin S, offensive S, defense A-, pass B+, three-pointer B, mid-range shot A+, layup S+... Average 26.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block..."

Before the Bulls formed a two-no.com combination, Sun Ce never thought that Ross and Griffin could match like this and actually had the title of Double Evil.

These two people really have the enhanced athletic ability version and the weakened defensive version of the feeling of the double evil spirits.

And athletic ability plays a very important role in this era!

With the overall strength of A+ and S-level defense, Noah, who is mainly defense and support, averages 9.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, a combination of these three players of the same age, with the top players in their respective positions.

, very strong!

The two men worked together for a year last season. After the Bulls confirmed the prospects for the trio, they made drastic changes to the team last summer.

Without renewing the contract, Roll Deng and Hamilton, he straightened the more stable pitcher Dunleavy and used a younger and middle-class level to play as a small forward through defense in the rookie season.

Signed Aaron Brooks to play the sixth player, from the Rockets trade to the signing rights of Mirotic at the A-level, directly applied to the league to adjust the middle class to the special case of previous rookies, and signed Mi in a three-year new middle class contract.

Rotic.
