Chapter 592: Unified Cognition
"We did a really good job at one point. www.biquge.info However, the Hawks are playing more tenacious, and I always believe that the next meeting between the two teams will be in Atlanta, and we still have a chance!" Nate McMillan was still unwilling to concede defeat at the press conference.
It's no wonder that the young Trail Blazers couldn't get a home win despite their best efforts. If the head coach still takes the initiative to concede defeat after the game, it will be too big a blow to the youth army.
Even if you're not an expert, anyone who has watched the ball for a few years will understand that it's not about toughness or luck.
The result of the game is a true reflection of the strength of the two teams, and the Eagles used their strength to suppress the Trailblazers.
Nguyen Erniu, who scored 35 points, 30 rebounds and 12 assists tonight, attended the post-game press conference, although this is another historical statistic that is unique in its own class, but Kraft Nguyen has scored such a statistic is too normal for people to be more surprised and surprised.
Erniu said with a smile: "I shouldn't be here, the biggest hero tonight is Mike (Woodson), his rotation in the final quarter is the key to us winning the game, he is the MVP of the game!"
Before the reporter could speak, Erniu took the lead in praising his head coach.
Immediately, a reporter cooperated: "Then do you think this season's Woodson can become the first head coach in NBA history to win the best coach in a row?"
"Of course, Mike has this qualification, why not?" Ruan Erniu gave the most direct affirmation.
The reporters were not too surprised, because Ruan Erniu should have said good things for his coach.
Compared to Erniu's own more secure regular season MVP, Woodson's ability to win the best coach for a second consecutive year is one of the hot topics in the league at the moment.
As the regular season continues to move forward, many award predictions have entered the plans of various media outlets.
Realistically speaking, Mike Woodson doesn't have the temperament of Popovich, Larry Brown, Phil Jackson and other famous coaches, can such a black fat man really be a candidate for the best coach for a second consecutive year?
Prejudice is always there.
Let's not talk about the deep-rooted racial discrimination in the United States, just look at the coaching ability of the likes of Popovich, Larry Brown and Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson, naturally, needless to say, there is no championship without superstars.
So his best coach has always been questioned, but are Popovich and Larry Brown really all about civilian players?
If you think about it, a player of Duncan's level is a complete superstar, are Parker and Ginobili parallel goods?
Besides, the 76ers and Pistons under Brown, is Iverson a superstar?
And are the Pistons Five Tigers really as civilian as people think?
The five of them are all above-caliber players in the league, Hamilton averaged 20+ per game in the Wizards, Rasheed Wallace can score 19+8 at his peak, and Billups is also a player who can cut 18+8 at his peak.
Players and coaches have always fulfilled each other, and Woodson met a group of players such as Erniu and Embarrassed Son, just like the mud bodhisattva gave Xiongba's evaluation in the first half of his life: "The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and the dragon changes when the wind and clouds change." β
The luck of the egg head has arrived, and it is really an existence that cannot be stopped!
The reporters then asked some questions about their views on the Trail Blazers, Greg Oden, Kevin Pritchard, etc., which were clichΓ©s, but Ruan Erniu, who was in a good mood, answered them one by one.
Finally, a reporter once again raised the issue of the best record in the regular season.
"I know that the eyes of the whole league are on us, which is both pressure and spur for us, but defending the championship is the most important thing.
We don't impose a goal on ourselves that we don't plan for, we try to play every game well and that's it. β
That being said, the reporters will certainly not be satisfied, and they would rather hear from Erniu that it is the rhetoric of the championship and the breaking 72 wins.
It's as if he said at the beginning of the season that he wants to compete for MVP or something, and only this kind of announcement will make people's blood boil.
The calm Ruan Er Niu can certainly respond to reporters with humorous diplomatic rhetoric, but the media still prefer to watch crazy people or teasers, because they can always create enough topics.
A smart person like Rodman makes good use of the media's mentality of liking hype, making himself look like a fancy show, and he has to provoke some right and wrong when he has nothing to do, so as to increase his exposure.
In the Celestial Empire, Er Niu was more like a tease most of the time, but after coming to the United States, his tease spirit became a representative of humor.
Sometimes, Erniu himself wonders whether he has become mature, or if the people of the United States are born with too low a laugh.
After the game against the Trail Blazers, the Hawks will have three days off.
After that, they will face the Jazz on the Utah Heights on their penultimate road trip in a five-game road draw.
Instead of catching a flight to Salt Lake City, the Hawks will rest in place in Portland, where they will fly to their destination on the morning of the 23rd, and then play the Jazz at the Energy Solutions Center arena in the evening.
In Portland, the Hawks opened an intra-team meeting after normal practice.
This is to clarify the short-term and long-term goals of the team, and by the way, unify the thinking of the whole team.
Woodson sat the players on the court in a circle, and he sat in the middle and said, "We're going to challenge two highland teams, first the Jazz and then the Nuggets, and you all talk about what you think!"
Lunar Eclipse smiled: "Of course, defeat them one by one, and then return to Atlanta with a winning streak." β
Ruan Erniu agreed: "J-Smoove is right, it's actually that simple. This is also the short-term goal of the team, as for the long-term ......"
Salmons chimed in: "Break 72 wins?"
"No, there is only one long-term goal, to win the O'Brien Cup again." β
Next, everyone expressed their views and opinions one by one.
Leaving a name in basketball history is a temptation for every player and coach, and Nguyen Erniu has temporarily done the work of Woodson and Embarrassment, but that doesn't mean the rest of the Hawks don't have this idea.
"Whatever you think, it's all about the team to keep winning at a high rate," Woodson said.
But this goal requires the efforts and determination of each and every one of you to accomplish it.
Against the Trail Blazers, I deliberately cut back on the playing time of Kraft and Joe.
As it turned out, they were more than capable of playing more efficiently with less playing time.
And what about you?
When the two of them were not on the field, they also completed their respective tasks well.
I think that's the biggest takeaway from our last game, and it's worth a lot more than a normal regular season win. β
Woodson summed it up well, and it's the key to the Eagles' desperate need for a unified understanding.
No team can rely on one or two star players to beat the world, not even those as strong as Kraft Nguyen and Wo Sen .
Without the help of role players, the Hawks would not be where they are today, and if they want to continue to excel, they need to focus more on tapping the potential of role players.
In Woodson's view, the Hawks' next opponent, the Utah Jazz, is the best litmus test.
