Chapter 790: Taryn Lu Out of the Mountain (Second Update!) )
The Cavaliers announced that they have resigned from the role of head coach of David Blatter, and the team's first assistant coach Tyronn Lue has been appointed as interim head coach.
The news sparked shock among fans and the media.
Although there were many radical fans shouting for Blatter to leave class even before the All-Star break, it was mostly angry about the team's poor performance.
And that's just a tiny minority.
Blatter has a record in the European League for more than 20 years, winning 11 titles in six years in Israel, winning the European Championship as a coach of Russia, and also winning an Olympic bronze medal at the London Olympics.
In the more than a year since he arrived with the Cavaliers, he has also shown a level of coaching that matches it.
In the first year, he led the new group of Big Three to the finals, and the results so far this season are much better than the same period last year.
is such a coach, the Cavaliers are fired when they say they are fired, and it can only be said that the team management is really willful.
However, the Cavaliers' performance before and after the All-Star Games has fluctuated a lot, and there is a lot of pressure from the outside world, and the team needs someone to take the blame.
The manager has always been the best person in that role.
It seems that the Pelicans' double-kill win became the last straw that crushed Blatter.
But Woj's subsequent inside news kept the matter going.
According to Woj, as early as before the All-Star break, some members of the Cavaliers team questioned Blatter's coaching style.
It is speculated that this player is likely to be Anderson Vallejo, who was traded away.
In response to the team's defensive problems, he proposed the idea of star players taking the lead in defense.
The suggestion was picked up by head coach Blatter, who asked James, Irving and Love to take the lead in the training session.
At the time, James was unhappy with Blatter's claim, although he did not question it on the spot.
But in his private interactions with friends, he was unhappy about it, because he was the best guy on the Cavaliers team to do defensively.
Either way, this incident has caused a rift between James and Blatter.
This is also the reason why James did not stand up for Blatter when he was questioned by the outside world.
After the Cavaliers lost to the Pelicans, Blatter criticized the team's defensive performance in front of James after the game, which further exacerbated the conflict.
Taryn Lucha was aware of the conflict between his boss and James, and he had tried to get the two to sit down and talk.
But this approach was rejected by Blatter, who felt that there was nothing wrong with him as a manager, and that there was no need for that.
After that, the Cavaliers' record continued to fluctuate, and the conflict between the two further intensified.
This contradiction also attracted the attention of the team's management, and the All-Star Game gave Blatter a respite.
But unfortunately, the team's record still did not improve after the All-Star break.
Cavaliers management can't afford to turn a blind eye to this sustained performance.
After communicating with general manager David Griffin and James' team, they finally made the decision to step down Blatter.
And Tyronn Lue, who gets along well with James, is good at interpersonal relationships, and is also quite tactical and creative, becomes the successor.
James' team is said to be happy with Lue, which also keeps management from continuing to look for a new head coach this season.
These insider stories of Woj's revelations are progressive, and they seem to be quite authentic.
And with the accuracy of his past revelations, this also convinced many fans and even the management of other teams.
This also attracted fans to complain about James on social media.
"I'm really convinced, I didn't let the Heat management choose Tang Tian at the beginning, and now I fired Blatter to the Cavaliers management, LeBron is the owner of the team!"
"It is said that the more Tang interferes with the Pelicans, the stronger the Pelicans, and the more LeBron interferes with the team, the more chaotic it becomes...... Isn't it good to be a player if you don't have talent? ”
"I'm most afraid of this, you see how bad Jordan is now a boss, but at the beginning, people were interested, and he was only a player if he didn't have talent!"
"I'm putting my words here, the Cavaliers can't win the championship with this kind of approach, and this season the Pelicans won the championship, and the first person in the league officially changed hands."
……
The relationship between Woj and James' team was already bad, and this revelation caused James to be questioned like never before.
Even as fans said on social media, they are now expecting the Pelicans to beat the Cavaliers to win the championship.
In that case, Tang Tian, who has outstanding strength and a good image, can completely confirm the identity of the first person in the alliance.
"He always likes to attract attention in that way, and he says it as if he was in the fictional meeting place where Gilbert and my team are talking, as if he was showing up in the so-called scene where I was talking to my friends?
If he doesn't, how does he know this? And the details that he said were as if he had experienced it himself, that he really thought of himself as God? ”
Woj's revelations damaged James's reputation, and in front of the media, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly attacked Woj.
James is not unreasonable, and it is not once or twice that reporters make up stories to attract gimmicks.
Woj is a celebrity, mostly based on accurate revelations, but he still can't get rid of his identity as a reporter.
True or false, except for the parties, there is no real clarity that can be said.
Under pressure from James' team, Woj eventually deleted the previous report.
But what can be seen in this series of things is that the Cavaliers are now in turmoil internally.
At this time, the most uncomfortable may be the team owner Gilbert.
During the James 1.0 period, he built the team according to his own ideas, and the team ended up in the finals year after year.
During the James 2.0 period, he spent a lot of money and threw money like crazy, but now the team looks precarious.
It was in such an environment that the Cavaliers held an inaugural press conference for Tyronn Lue the day after they fired Blatter.
The team was in turmoil, but Lou looked good and coped with sharp questions from reporters.
'David is a very good coach and I've been under him for over a year, I'm pretty sure of that, but I also believe the management made the right decision, the team hasn't been doing well recently and we need some changes.'
Lu's speaking level is still very good.
"I'm going to give the players a lot more freedom on the court, we're a team with LeBron, Kyrie and Kevin, they're the best players in every position in this league, especially LeBron, he's got a lot of experience, he's been through a lot of situations, he's very good at dealing with situations on the court."
When asked by reporters what changes the Cavaliers would make, Lue replied unabashedly.
