The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 133: Strange starter

?? As soon as he woke up in the morning on the 15th, Leon received a text message from Khomeinis. Yavin 8·=·=Because of completing her dissertation, Khomeinis flew to Australia yesterday to conduct fieldwork in a Maori tribe. The text message came from Khomeinis in the early morning, and he should have arrived in Australia.

In addition to reporting safety to Leon, the text message ends with asking Leon to watch a sports interview on espn channel on TV after getting up in the morning. This program will be broadcast every night after the golden sports live time ends. Replay in the morning. The subjects of interviews are often popular basketball players or some famous veterans who are about to retire or have already retired. Although these interviews are often brief, they can always attract some controversy. They are also important window-type columns of espn.

After reading the text messages, Leon turned on the TV and switched to the espn channel. Sure enough, at 7 o'clock in the morning, during the cold time of the sports program, a program from last night, the nBa classic game, was replayed. The replay game selected by espn TV this time is the first round of the 1985 Western Conference playoffs where the Dallas Mavericks played against the Portland Trail Blazers, and the fourth game where the Trail Blazers eliminated the Mavericks. The little-known Adair Norris Hit the lore at the last minute to kill the Mavericks.

When the video was played until the intermission, espn interrupted the interview column last night, and the target of the interview was the current Mavericks boss, Mark Cuban.

Leon knew that when he saw Mark Cuban, he had to express some strange remarks, and it was probably related to the Celtics. Because the headquarters of espn television station is in Bristol, located in Rhode Island to the west of Massachusetts, it was originally part of Massachusetts and then divided to Rhode Island. It should be said that it is very close to Boston, and the team that will play in Boston these two days is the Dallas Mavericks. As a famous fan owner in the league, Mark Cuban will definitely come to Boston with the team, so that the espn is close It is only natural for Cuban to conduct an interview.

Cuban, Leon, is also well-known for a long time. He often sees that the owner of this team is not like an owner, and is mixed with players every day. ﹍Yavin...``==--·`It often bombards the league before and after the game, quarrels with Stern, and then waits to be fined by the league. When the Celtics got Dennis Rodman through a trade in oo, Cuban made a mockery of the Celtics.

He thinks that the Celtics are "making a mistake he made before," but he didn't expect Rodman to have a good time in Boston and he retired successfully.

This time, Cuban brought his cowboys to Boston again. Naturally, he uttered a lot of talk in the media for no other reason. Because the current Mavericks and Celtics are the two most popular teams in the league, they maintain their undefeated golden status in the east and west, and rank high in the east and west. This time the two tigers will definitely lose. There is a team whose unbeaten record is about to be broken.

Leon put down the remote control and watched the interview with interest to see what amazing words Cuban would have.

Sure enough, when the host asked the question "What kind of coach do you think the new Celtics coach Fox Leon is, do you recognize his coaching level?" Cuban smiled slightly and revealed his classic Expression of disdain.

"He is a coach with a very unique style. He doesn't like calling timeouts and yelling at players. Many people say that he is like Phil Jackson. I think there is one thing he is very similar to Jackson. He relies purely on the players under his hands to play.” Cuban not only belittled Leon in his answer, but also hacked Phil Jackson by the way. The two have basically never stopped since the start of the Mavericks hacking the shark tactics. Over.

Then Leon turned off the TV. It was not that he could not read Cuban's remarks, but that it was time for him to go to the training hall to organize the team training. Tonight's game is indeed a big challenge for the Celtics. The Dallas Mavericks have gone through years of organizational construction. The troika of Nowitzki, Nash and Finley reached the first peak of their state this year. After the start of the season, they chopped melons and vegetables and beat their opponents by 10 per game. More points. Compared with the Celtics, they both play offensively. But the attack points are more balanced, the internal and external distribution is reasonable, the talents of the players are not inferior to the Celtics, and the experience is better, and their coach is the former Celtic star and the famous Qiansheng coach Don Nelson. >Yawen Bar>_﹏﹎`····>

In the interview with Cuban. In fact, there is a section that Leon missed and didn't see, that is, Cuban pointed out that some of Leon's current routines are just picking up people's teeth, and the object he copied is Don Nelson. As early as the Warriors in the 1990s, Nelson designed an outside troika, Hardaway, Mullingari, and Richmond’s attack combination. This also helped Cuban criticize Leon for the Celtics’ Arenas, Reed Gapierce’s outside trio provided the historical basis for plagiarizing Nelson.

Leon certainly doesn’t care about these accusations made by Cuban. Although he has heard of Don Nelson’s tactics, the Celtics are playing according to the current league’s tactical rules and the team’s staffing. The understanding of basketball is set, and many people may not know it. In Leon's mind, this style of play is far from taking shape. With the changes and growth of team personnel, this system will continue to evolve and grow.

But no matter what, tonight will be the first real tough battle the Celtics have encountered since the start of the season, and it will be a major test for Leon and the young Green Army players.

"Good evening everyone, I’m Brad Neisler, and welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of the regular season brought by espn TV. Join me to enjoy the game tonight is our old friends Tom Talbot and Bill- Wharton, hello, Tom, Bill." This Celtics-Mavericks game was eligible for national broadcast. This is undoubtedly the most watched game in the American basketball world today. After the signing of the new broadcast contract, the live broadcast rights, the original NBA live broadcast overlord nBc, began to gradually withdraw from the stage of history, but the new broadcast contract has not yet brought high profits to the league. On the contrary, the salary cap this year has fallen.

However, in the days to come, the benefits of the live broadcast contract will undoubtedly be greater and greater, because the healthy competition of the three new TVs and the continuous innovation and progress in program production will bring more viewers and more to the alliance. Higher commercial value. Among other things, in terms of commentators, various TV stations have begun to use the strategy of retiring stars, which has achieved very good results. Because the audience is not only happy to see these superstars who used to dominate the stadium. Come to the commentary to tell the inside story on the court, and these players who have really fought on the court are undoubtedly more professional and professional than the simple basketball commentators.

* Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Bill Walton, who just joined espn TV, are good examples. Wharton, who just started this year, will start his fourth game commentary of this season. In just three games, the once legendary center has begun to be welcomed by the audience. His words are funny and humorous, although sometimes they are too exaggerated. He can give unique insights when he needs professionalism. It undoubtedly injected a breath of fresh air into the aBc TV station's commentary, which was originally slightly silent.

What is more interesting to the audience is that from the first game, he and his old partner, Tom Talbert, who hopped to espn together, launched a full range of no dead ends, from the result of the game to the beauty of the cheerleading team. , They all pinch and mock each other, which has become the feature of the two people's commentary. And tonight, the two will undoubtedly start to pinch again.

The game has not yet started, Bill Walton first clearly expressed his support for the Boston Celtics, the reason is also very clear, because he used to play for the Celtics. And there was a wonderful experience of winning, it was a perfect season for Walton.

And Talbot naturally supports the Dallas Mavericks without exception, and his reasons are also very good, because in Talbot’s career, the Golden State Warriors played the longest time, and at that time the Warriors’ head coach It was Don Nelson.

"The reason you support the Mavericks is really far-fetched. You said you are a player coached by Don Nelson, but Nelson is still a Celtics! Will he lose this game against the Celtics? Wharton pointed out Talbot's "logical" error and said that as a game tonight in North Shore Garden, he should support the Celtics.

Talbert certainly ignored Wharton's fallacy. He did not hesitate to praise Don Nelson for his exquisite words. He said: "Nelson is the most creative coach I have ever encountered. For a coach who is good at tapping the players' personal potential, he will not give you a fixed role to complete. A fixed task. He will let you swing as much as you want, see what suits you, do what you do. For example, although I am only 6-7, the main position is forward, but Nelson will often let me play center, I am in the Warriors Three years often have to face those league-level centers. Like Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, this is incredible for other coaches. But Nelson will."

"That's why you always fail to make the playoffs. The 6-foot-7 center, with 3 rebounds per game, tell me how to win in the 90s?" Wharton deliberately frowned in confusion~ lightnovelpub.net~ Tolbert's career and Wharton's career are quite mediocre. In the Warriors' best three seasons, he only averaged 8 points and 3 rebounds per game as a substitute.

"That was ten years ago, and now the nBa is different! Look at the Dallas Mavericks, look at their lineup, who is the center? Nowitzki? No, Najera! Although they have on the bench The top man Bradley, but Nelson just wants to use Najera as a center!" Talbot generally retorted Wharton, while introducing the lineup of both sides.

Nielsen can be described as bohemian in terms of employment. In the first five games after the start of the season, the Mavericks have adopted five different lineups. In addition to Nash, Finley, and Nowitzki, the troika is incapable of hitting the shooting guard and center. , Bradley, Najera, Griffin, LaFrenz, Eschmeier and others take turns in the battle, no one can figure out what the legendary coach with the title of mad scientist is thinking. In this game, he sent a lineup without a center, bringing the 6-foot-7 Mexican Najera to the center position. It seems that he wants to use a small lineup against the Celtics' fast offensive system.

"But it seems that the new Celtics coach is not a fuel-efficient light. Let's look at the Celtics...point guard Arenas, shooting guard Michael Reid, small forward Paul Pierce , The power forward is Antoine Walker... and their center is the Mavericks’ abandoned general, Wang Zhizhi from China!” When Bill Walton saw the Celtics, he also said that he couldn’t understand. .
