NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal - v2 Chapter 745
The new season has just started for more than a month, and some coaches are about to leave the get out of class. The one who is most vocal is Kevin McHale.
According to ESPN Sports NBA columnist Voy Narrowsky, yesterday he discussed the Houston Mosaics’ poor defense this season with another prominent NBA pundit, Stephen Smith, who was even more outspoken. Criticized head coach Kevin McHale’s incompetence:
“Kevin is undoubtedly a great player, and his playing career is extremely brilliant, but this does not mean that his coaching career is the same!”
“In fact, from 2004 to 2005, when he coached the Minnesota Timberwolves, and then coached the Houston Mosaic team in 2011, he always ignored the importance of defense and relied solely on the stars on offense. Now, he is also overly indulging in the stars. It can lead to bitter fruit!”
So far this season, Mosaic has only achieved a record of 9 wins and 9 losses, and recently suffered a four-game losing streak. If this continues, the playoffs will not be guaranteed.
Therefore, in the opinion of many expert media, the team’s poor record will be an important factor for the Mosaic management to fire Mike Haier.
Although the Mosaic team stopped in the second round again last season, they still set a record of 56 wins and 26 losses during the regular season since the 1996-97 season, which made the management of the ball determined to adjust the lineup.
This summer, they introduced a powerful point guard like Tyler Sen. Compared with last season, Mosaic’s lineup has been significantly improved. However, the team’s performance so far is obviously not satisfactory to team managers and fans.
As Smith said, Mosaic’s biggest problem so far this season is the defensive end. The team has allowed an average of 108.5 points per game, ranking 29th in the league.
Although Mike Hale has mentioned more than once that defense is not his forte, especially after the departure of former head assistant Sampson, the Mosaic defense problem has always existed.
In addition, another major reason for the poor performance of Mosaic is that the team leader James Harden is not in good shape.
Since Harden entered the main aerospace city, Michael Hale has relied on Harden very much, and it can almost be said that he has given the latter unlimited firing rights.
In the first three seasons, Harden did not disappoint Mike Haier. The team moved forward one step at a time, but Harden’s offensive efficiency this season was very low, with a shooting percentage of 37.2% and a three-point shooting rate of 26.2%, respectively. , both data are inferior to the previous three seasons.
After the bearded golfer switched to the Little Prince mode, his personal offensive state was no longer strong, which directly affected Mosaic’s overall offensive feeling. After all, he was an arrow figure in the entire team’s offensive system.
When the team’s offense encountered problems, coupled with the relatively weak defensive system, Mosaic was unbalanced on both ends of the offense and defense.
The poor record naturally caused dissatisfaction and anger among the fans. At this time, the team must introduce a person to take the blame.
Undoubtedly, Michael Hale has become the person who is the one to take the blame.
At 10:00 a.m. on December 5th, there was heavy news from the league. After the Mosaic management held an emergency conference call last night, they officially fired Kevin McHale, a Hall of Fame player who had coached the Mosaic team for four full years.
On the same day, Mosaic’s former chief assistant coach *** Bickerstaff became the acting head coach of the Houston Mosaic team. He was also one of the youngest head coaches in the NBA in the 2015-16 season.
Mike Haier’s embarrassing dismissal caused a chain reaction in the league, and the NBA suddenly experienced a wave of head coach dismissals.
At 10 a.m. on the 6th, the Brooklyn Nets also reported that they were going to change their coaches.
The Nets, which started the season with a 7-game losing streak, currently have a record of only 4 wins and 16 losses, and they are still second to last in the Eastern Conference. The bottom team is the Philadelphia 75ers with 2 wins and 18 losses.
Such a terrible record is naturally sorry for the Nets’ high luxury tax, which is one of the best in the league. The team’s current coach, Lionel Hollins, has been sacked for a month.
In the end, former assistant coach Tony Brown took over as the new head coach of the Nets.
Time flies to the 7th. The Blazers will go to Oracle Arena to meet the Warriors on this day. So far this season, the only two teams that are hard to beat finally meet.
But this morning, another piece of breaking news came out of the league.
The Los Angeles Lakers, one of the two giants in the NBA, also received news of a coaching change.
It is reported that the Lakers management, which has just formed the new Big Three, is very dissatisfied with the team’s current record of 10 wins and 9 losses, and they are serious about the coaching ability of the team’s coach Byron Scott.
After all, looking at this guy’s coaching career, it has been more than a dozen years since 2000, but his coaching win rate is only 42.5%, which can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of the current head coaches.
This is obviously not in line with the temperament and ambition of the Lakers giants. They need a real helm to coach the Lakers.
There are currently three popular candidates, namely former Lakers Luke Walton, Alvin Gentry and Phil Jackson, the “Zen Master” who is serving as the president of the Knicks.
Both Walton and Gentry are now part of the Warriors’ coaching staff. The former is not only a former Laker player, but also deeply influenced by Phil Jackson’s coaching philosophy. The latter is a seasoned, four-time NBA head coach.
Of course, compared with these two, the most powerful is “Zen Master” Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson can be called the head coaching version of the Lord of the Rings. He has created many dynasties, and he is a famous coaching superstar. His coaching style fits perfectly with the current Lakers.
Therefore, the Lakers’ pursuit of Phil Jackson is also the most violent among the three. This news has also ushered in great attention~www.mtlnovel.com~ Flying to the hotel in the Bay Area, Wang Zelin is bored, and the team does not Arranged training, but also strictly prohibited him from additional training, worried about his injury.
So, in addition to brushing up on hot topics in the morning and discussing the new Lakers coach candidates with sand sculpture netizens, the rest is to play video games with Jokic to kill time.
After a sufficient rest in the afternoon, to fill the stomach, at 17:00 sharp, the Blazers bus pulled into the Oracle Center arena.
Now the Warriors have won 21 consecutive victories, and the Blazers have won 19 consecutive victories. The two teams that have undefeated since the opening of the season will compete at the Oracle Center tonight.
The strong performances of the two teams this season and the grievances from last season have made this game the same level of attention as the NBA Finals.
It is reported that the tickets for tonight’s game have also been fired several times by scalpers, and the ticket price of the front-row audience has been fired to five-digit sky-high prices.
ESPN is in charge of the live broadcast tonight, but considering the huge amount of attention, some media such as TNT and FOX also announced that they will conduct TV broadcasts at the same time after negotiating with ESPN.
During the warm-up period before the game, both the Blazers and the Warriors attracted a large number of reporters to watch.
