"Is the fight over?" Bonnie Laughlin said: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at talking~ You have a way~"
"Please~ Is it really appropriate for you two to just watch me make a fool of myself? You have to treat me to lunch today!" "Magician" "threatened" in a joking tone, Bonnie Laughlin and Pelinka
He also expressed his acceptance.
Los Angeles, Tang Qian's residence.
He hung up the phone and sat on the sofa not knowing what to say, but he had to admit that what "Magic" just said was not wrong. He was actually the one who felt the deepest and biggest shortcomings of D'Antoni's system. Moreover,
The former said something that touched Tang Qian's mind. Although he was unwilling to think about it before, he still had to face it after being pointed out.
That is D'Antoni's system. In fact, what is needed more is a super No. 1 position or a super combo position, rather than a super center.
Although he has played a huge complementary role in this system, the level of feedback from this system to him is too low, and if the super No. 1 cannot be introduced in the summer, then next season will probably be a replica of this season's Western Conference Finals. He said honestly
Yes, after five games with the Warriors, I deeply felt the gap between the Lakers' team system and their opponents. If it cannot be solved, it is estimated that they will not be able to break through the Western Conference for a long time in the future. This situation must be what Tang Qian wants.
Unacceptable.
He has already tasted the taste of a championship. He knows the taste after eating the marrow. It is impossible not to desire and be greedy.
After all, he is not the kind of role player who comes on the bench without ambition. He just thinks that a ring is enough. What he wants is more, more. So he has no way to really refute what "Magic" said. Why? It's not because
, does he know that the "magician" is telling the truth?
How do you deny a truth?
Furthermore, the new coach candidates proposed by "Magic" were enough to shock Tang Qian. They were Larry Brown, coach Qian Sheng, and Popovich's mentor. He had led the most different teams to the playoffs in NBA history.
The legendary coach. His tactical level and tactical attainments are extremely high. The NCAA is the real tactical place, where personal abilities are secondary to the overall tactical system. The same is true for Jordan. That’s why he can become the head coach of President Hill in it.
, are extremely rich in tactics. In addition, Larry Brown has been coaching professional teams since the 1970s. He has endured all the rule changes over the years, which shows that he is also very adaptable to the rules. Let’s just say that the Bobcats were
He took that kind of bad team into the playoffs, what else can you say?
Then Larry Brown is estimated to be one of the strongest defensive coaches in NBA history. The defense of the Pistons in the early 21st century was truly suffocating. Like the Celtics in 2008, they were selected as the strongest defensive legends in the 21st century.
Team. And I’m afraid many people don’t know that the Pistons have entered the Eastern Conference Finals six times, and their endurance is a few points better than that of the “Hulk”. The real “Alchemy Stone” of the Eastern Conference back then claimed that he couldn’t get past him and was not qualified to step into the NBA Finals.
Final floor.
And the legacy of his system was that until he left the Pistons, the Pistons still entered the Eastern Conference Finals. This is really not something that can be achieved by ordinary people.
But without him, the finals are basically out of the question. In addition, the league has completely banned hand-g, and the Pistons, organized by civilians, have also lost their strongest breath. But as a team without a superstar, the upper limit is all
The star's team was transformed into the Eastern Devils team by him. This ability is really terrifying. If that team had a defensive core that truly integrated offense and defense, the Spurs would not have had the last laugh. Because of the civilians, they also suffered.
Due to the loss of superstar ball, they lost to the "super gods" Ginobili and Duncan that year. There was nothing they could do. The bloody battle in the seventh game was strong enough.
Compared with D'Antoni's style of play, Larry Brown's system is more suitable for him, with a slower pace and stronger defense. His defensive core ability will be further improved, and it is not impossible to even increase it to the maximum. What about the offensive end? Because
The defense is strong, so the advantage of attacking tough situations will come out. If Tang Qian puts his back up this summer, it will be a real hit-and-run.
"Magician" talked to him for dozens of minutes, detailing the pros and cons, and it was impossible for Tang Qian not to understand the former's painstaking efforts. This Lakers star was not harming himself, but was really doing it for his own sake.
He is looking for someone for the entire Lakers. Besides, choosing to completely rebuild the team at this time, "Magic" is also under a lot of external pressure. Tang Qian took a casual look and found that the majority of Lakers fans do not understand.
.
Therefore, to this extent, he has no qualifications to accuse the "magician".
People are also worried about the future of the Lakers team and doing their best.
It's just that he followed D'Antoni for three years, and a lot of things happened during that time. The latter promoted, supported, and corrected him, and he did a lot to resist the pressure. This is a real friendship, and together with it, he also won
After winning the championship, it is unrealistic to say that there is no emotion. Therefore, even if he knew that what the "Magician" said was correct, he still didn't know how to face D'Antoni.
But he has to make this call. He is also the boss of the team after all. At this time, the boss should act like a boss. Other players don't need to call, but he can't. After thinking about it for a while
, Tang Qian picked up his cell phone again, found Deshuai's cell phone number, and dialed it.
After a few rings, the call was answered.
"Hello, sir, it's me, Tang Qian."
"Oh, it's hot. I was wondering when you would call me, but it will be faster than I thought."
…
In fact, D'Antoni also received this news. How could he be kept in the dark as the person involved? When he saw that the Lakers were not prepared to execute the team option on his contract, he knew what would happen next. But, he stayed here.
After 3 years, I have achieved brilliant results. It is impossible for you to say that you have no feelings. Even he did not expect that he would leave so soon.
"We all know the matter. There is no need to be too sad. It is normal for this league to be divided and combined. I just feel a little regretful that I will not be able to coach you in the future. You are one of the brightest rising stars I have ever seen.
I am becoming more and more convinced of this. To be honest, I was redesigning the system and playstyle the first night I was eliminated, but unfortunately, I can’t use it now.”
"Mr. D'Antoni...then what do you plan to do in the future? Do you have any plans to go to another team?"
"Well, I really haven't thought about it now, but maybe, maybe we will become rivals in the future, oh hot."
"If you are an opponent, I will not show mercy. I respect you very much, but I never understand my opponent."
"Very good, that's it. This league is not the NCAA, it is a player-oriented league, so if you can stay, stay. Los Angeles and the Lakers are actually a very good place, and it is very suitable for lifelong struggle.
"
"I understand, sir. I will work hard. If there is a chance in the future, we can meet again."
"Okay, hot, I hope we have the opportunity to get together again in the future."
While the finals were still going on, Lakers fans were completely attracted by a piece of news, which was sent by the Lakers' official website. After many considerations, the team will not exercise the remaining contract options with Mike D'Antoni. We
Thank you to the coach for everything he has given us in the past three years. He is an excellent head coach and we will always remember his efforts and contributions.
Before Lakers fans could fully digest the news, new big news appeared again:
We announced that we will sign Mr. Larry Brown on a 3+1 basis and hope that we can move towards a bright future together.
For 15 million in four years, a famous coach joined the Lakers, and a new era for the Lakers has arrived.
Many Lakers fans are discussing this matter. They are basically analyzing who is better when Larry Brown comes to the Lakers or D'Antoni when he joins the Lakers. They all have different opinions on who is better, but one thing is for sure, the Lakers
The high-tempo, high-round, high-point-per-game style of last season is probably gone forever.
Whether this is good or bad, no one can tell clearly now.
The battle in the finals was fierce, and the two sides actually entered a tie-break. This is obviously what the president wants to see.
This alone has improved the economic benefits of the alliance by an unknown amount.
Suddenly Adam Silver felt that Tang Qian had done a good thing. Without him, he felt that it would be difficult for the Cavaliers to defeat this year's Warriors, at least they would not be able to make it to Game 7. He was "partial to the side."
It's all in vain. But now, everything is settled and it's a matter of course. Because of this, our president is considering whether to give the Lakers a slightly "reduced sentence" when the penalty is due on the 29th.
Because he has signed a contract with Larry Brown, basic phone greetings are required. The funniest thing is that Larry Brown actually has to coach high school students on Long Island for a few months before coming back. But anyway, the head coach is not here
Just come over before the training camp starts before the game, and no one objects to this. However, a phone call is necessary. As soon as the news was confirmed, Tang Qian got the new coach's personal phone number and dialed it.
The phone call of just a few minutes gave Tang Qian his first impression of the new coach.
This is a head coach who looks very serious to the outside world, but in fact he should be considered an almost strict person. The things that were revealed by Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks in the past should be true. He is very concerned about the things that have not yet been recognized by him.
People don't give too much face, well, just say that they don't give face. His words are very simple. He said that it doesn't matter how famous Tang Qian is, what his strength is, or what his current influence is. He only cares.
See if you can coach and integrate into your own system.
To be honest, his attitude is really tough and he is completely different from D'Antoni.
Also, if he thinks you are a burden to the team or a little waste to the team, then he will really call you a "little burden" or a "little waste". I'm not going to lie to you at all. In New York back then, he just looked down on "little waste".
Potato "Nate" Robinson directly called the latter "The.little.shi.t" in the team. What does it mean? To be polite, it means "little trash". To be more down-to-earth, it is an American curse, looking down on you.
He thinks you are a "dog.shit" or an "SB". Haha, don't believe it. He is such a personality, extremely strong, and has the same bad temper as the Nuggets coach George Karl.
So the management and players basically don't like him very much.
Unless you can resist his mental attack, for example, the Pistons have evolved into a "super civilian team" and the Lakers' lineup, which was known as the "Four Kings" back then, will be wiped out by you. And it's not the same as in the 1980s.
The "Bad Boys" style is to defend in a clean and serious manner until the opponent is suffocated. Well, actually there is one thing I have to say. The "Bad Boys" play very fiercely and wildly, but I guess there are not many
I personally know that their defense is actually not that good. At least it cannot be compared with the Pistons team that entered the finals in the 21st century. In the 1980s, they reached the finals for three consecutive years and basically lost more than 100 points in the regular season.
The points lost in the post-game were almost 95 points. What about the Pistons in the 21st century who entered the finals for the second consecutive time?
I say it for fear of scaring you.
The points lost in the regular season were all below 90 points, and the year they won the championship they were only 84+ points. The playoffs were even scarier, with almost all points lost below 85+ points. The year they won the championship... they only lost 80.7 points per game in the playoffs! That is.
Say, if you play against the Pistons that year, basically don’t expect to score more than 80 points in a game. The overall defensive shooting rate is less than 40% of the opponent! So when it comes to building a defensive system, Larry Brown leads
That Pistons team is really not targeting anyone in history.
But the premise is that you must be able to withstand the coach's verbal attack.
Otherwise, if you can't bear it, you will either become angry or become a depressed useless person.
Secondly, this "old guy" really doesn't like the current atmosphere of the league. He directly told Tang Qian that "teaming up to win the championship" is useless, taking shortcuts, and spoiling children. He said that the gold content of such a championship is too low.
There was no point in taking it. He told Tang Qian that if the latter wanted to "take a shortcut", it would be better to leave his pointer as soon as possible to avoid being disgraced later.
This is really not what he said in this time and space. If Tang Qian in the original time and space could live longer, he would definitely see what this "old guy" said in a video interview in 2017 (this is true)
Yes, Xiao Zi will also post it to the group later, everyone can join the group and watch it for yourself). He believes that anyone with high self-esteem will not do this. This is true, and it is really for some people
A merciless critical blow to the entire alliance.
It's a pity that this is how the "old guy" talks, straight forward, and he even restrained himself because of the media video. In private, I don't know how to scold him. With such a bad temper, it's strange that he would say something nice.
When Tang Qian heard this, he was relatively respectful at first, but later he started to get angry. After suppressing the anger and hanging up the phone, he said to himself:
"This little old man has quite a bad temper! But do you think I will give in? I will let you know how powerful I am!"
"A left hook and a right hook, and the person who offends me is in danger."
"Look down on me? Be strong? Show off your power? Have a bad temper???"
"Okay, your little grandpa happens to have these things too."
"Who is afraid of whom? It's just Gang."
PS: The details of the new season need to be sorted out, and there will be more frequent actions during the offseason. Don’t worry, everything will come to light~~~
