1524. Coach Hollins' decision (6th full 100W recommendation vote plus update)

The Thunder team is obviously 5-5, and Westbrook is actually blown into the sky.

Sun Ce doesn't think Westbrook is not strong, obviously, if he can get an average triple-double per game, Westbrook's ability must be very strong.

However, after personally feeling the sensation brought by Westbrook's average triple-double per game, as a player, Sun Ce felt damned even if he knew.

Sun Ce knows very well that this situation will not last long, as time progresses, it may be a year or two, and in the future, the harder the fans blow now, the harder they will spray in the future.

The ones that are blowing now, and the ones that will be black in the future, will probably be the same group of people.

So Sun Ce won't take the initiative to do something similar, and finding a way to win the game is more important than getting more triple-doubles.

But Sun Ce still felt that the sensation brought by Westbrook's 10 games was too much.

After a good look at the forum, Sun Ce found a possibility.

In the past three seasons, he has 52 triple-doubles, and in the first four years of his career, he has 59 triple-doubles.

During this period, his team became stronger and stronger, so the triple-double became a very important performance in the eyes of fans.

Moreover, when Westbrook got a triple-double, he won 4-1, and the winning rate reached 80%.

When Westbrook didn't get a triple-double, he won 1-4 and had a winning rate of only 20 percent.

When he saw this analysis, Sun Ce made sense at first glance.

But, think about it...... If you don't get a triple-double, you lose, does it mean that when you lose defensive rebounds and the offensive organization is not good, Westbrook can't lead the team to win?

It's not a good thing to tie a win to a triple-double, and if you go for a triple-double at the beginning, you can get a triple-double, and you must have played well in most cases; If you don't get a triple-double, it means that you don't play well, and in most cases, you can't win.

……

Regarding the almost pathological praise of Westbrook by fans and the media, Sun Ce did not refute anything.

As a professional basketball player, you can't go against the fans, and offending the fans is the stupidest thing to do.

The main thing is that it didn't work, and even the fans of his grandson were shocked by Westbrook's triple-double.

Westbrook continues to play like this, not to mention 30 triple-doubles in a season?

This is something that Sun Ce has never done.

After breakfast, Sun Ce came to the Staples Center again to meet his teammates, and tomorrow, on the 20th, there will be another game here to play against the Clippers.

With only 11 players currently available to play due to the team's health crisis, Sun Ce has learned that owner Robert Pera is joining other teams with injuries this season to apply to the league to expand the 15-man squad.

Sun Ce doesn't think that the squad can be expanded, many teams will oppose it, and there is a high probability that it will fail.

After all, the Warriors were injured that year, and there were only 7 people left to play, and none of them passed such an application.

Even if it succeeds, it will not be an official expansion of the 15-man squad, and it is estimated that there will be an operation similar to a two-way contract in the future.

The boss went to find a way to throw money around...... Isn't expanding the squad just throwing money, and the base salary of a veteran is also more than one million, so there is a high probability that many teams will not agree.

Coach Hollins, on his side, also needs to make adjustments.

Fatigue, there's no way to fix it.

It is said that professional sports leagues are the people who need to exercise the most to watch the people who need rest the most, and Coach Hollins knows this very well.

Like the two of them, for two consecutive years, from the preseason to the end of the finals, they have to play more than eight months every year, and the last rest time of each year is less than four months.

In fact, this is not enough to meet the rest needs of the players, and it may be much better if it is a month longer.

But there is no way, they have won two championships in a row, and if they want to win the championship, they have to bear these things.

And, for sure, no one is stupid enough to be afraid of getting tired next season and not fighting for the championship this season.

So, the Grizzlies brought in a lot of young players in the summer to add depth to the roster.

It's just that from Beverley and Prince, role players are also at risk of injury, and perhaps a higher risk of injury than stars.

Beverley's style of play is destined to be unguaranteed for health, too hard, and fighting is his most beloved trait among his teammates, teams, and fans of his own team.

Similar to Beverley is Tony Allen, who has not played a season healthy since he entered the NBA, missing one or two dozen games every year.

Prince is old.

Other young players are also at risk of injury, Livingston is not suitable to play too long, has a terrible injury history, and has been a role player for so many years, playing ten minutes at most in the early twenties.

Hardaway Jr. has just entered the NBA, and his combat power is good, but when he first steps into the adult basketball world, there are still risks.

Gobert was too vegetable, went to the Development League to find confidence, and played the Lakers to get 2 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, which was okay, but it still didn't work.

Coach Hollins feels too hard!

It is necessary to take into account the running-in, to take into account the development of the players, to take into account the future, to take into account the health, to take into account the title defense, to take into account the results......

These things, separated, are not very difficult, even if two or three are concentrated in one season, there is a way to solve it.

But now, they've come to the point where all the troubles are piling up!

After two consecutive championships, all kinds of troubles followed, even more difficult than Coach Hollins imagined.

Coach Hollins couldn't stop sighing in his heart, from the 70s to the present, more than 40 years have passed, only the Zen master has completed three consecutive championships, and the number of two consecutive championships has actually been several times, but whether it is Pat Riley, Chuck Daly, or Tomjanovich, they have not been able to complete the title defense.

Those teams have tried, they have tried, and after two consecutive championships, they must have tried everything to build a dynasty, but they all failed.

This time he also felt the difficulties of the dynasty.

On the morning of the 19th, I led the team members to a simple technical training...... Without tactical training, the Clippers are currently at the bottom of the West, with 1 win and 10 losses at the beginning, and there is nothing to prepare for, just technical training to see how it feels.

In the afternoon, Coach Hollins had a meeting with his coaching staff and management.

There are many coping strategies discussed, but because of the objective conditions, just a simple discussion and argument do not work.

In the end, Coach Hollins made a decision: "Let's let Noah, Klay, and Paul play more, let them practice their abilities in the game, and the three of them play well, we will have no problem dealing with most opponents, and all three of them are in the growth period, which can be regarded as a good opportunity for them to get more opportunities to take responsibility...... By the way, Mark's playing time and performance opportunities need to be guaranteed......"
