Chapter 101: Pat Riley's Phone
Anyway, dad always has a way to target the strongest point of the other party.
After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Nets won the game by nine points.
O'Neal scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-to-5 shooting in this game.
Looking at this statistic, O'Neal's performance tonight was perfect, and he couldn't fault it.
But this is for other center forwards, and this statistic cannot be faulted.
For O'Neal, a 50 percent shooting percentage is already considered an anomaly.
What's more, O'Neal's free throws tonight were quite bad, with a total of 22 free throws in the whole game, and only 10 were hit.
O'Neal's true shooting percentage tonight was pretty bad.
"In the first two games, you did this to him?" Davidson turned his head and asked Murraysan, who was beside him.
Muresan smiled and nodded, "He scored 24 points in the first game, and we gave two interior shots. ”
"That guy scored 32 points in the second game, and thankfully Jalen Rose broke out, otherwise we might have lost the second game."
Davidson nodded, now that their Nets have a 3-0 score, it is only a matter of time before they eliminate the Magic.
can play such an overwhelming advantage, Davidson feels that Dad's tactical arrangement is definitely the most important link.
With those low-level head coaches, it's not entirely impossible for the Nets to be beaten 3-0 by the Magic now.
Two days later, the East Finals G4 started, and this time the shark slashing tactic failed to work, and O'Neal hit 70% of the free throws in this game......
In this game, O'Neal scored 42 points and saved the Magic on the edge of the cliff.
But O'Neal's free throws can reach seventy, which is an unprecedented situation after all, and in the fifth game, O'Neal failed to continue such a high free throw, and finally the Nets won another game and successfully advanced to the finals.
This series was unexpected, and experts and media from all walks of life, including most fans, thought that the two sides would at least be a comet hitting the Earth, and many people even thought that the Magic would be the winner of this series.
In the end, after the Nets eliminated the Magic with a score of 4:1, many people were dumbfounded.
It turns out that O'Neill is not without shortcomings......
Muresan was immediately the center of everyone's attention.
If the Nets don't have Muresan, it will definitely be difficult to limit O'Neal even if they use shark slashing tactics.
For a while, more and more people envied the good fortune of the Nets, knowing that they only used a No. 16 pick to get a player like Muresan!
In addition to Muressan, Jalen Rose has also become the Nets' No. 2 main point of attack in this series, averaging 18.2 points per game second only to Coleman.
There is no doubt that the Nets also made a lot of money by selecting Jalen Rose.
And whether it is Murraysan or Jalen Rose, they all have something to do with one person, and that is Nets assistant coach Davidson.
Both of these were brought in by Davidson for the Nets, and many teams already have some ideas in their hearts......
Especially those teams with poor records, they don't really have too high requirements for the manager's coaching ability.
After all, there are a bunch of stinky tomatoes and rotten eggs in the lineup, how can the head coach be able to coach? It's impossible to take these stinky tomato rotten egg players to win the championship......
These fish belly teams care more about the vision of the head coach, and only the vision beyond ordinary people can help them put together a decent lineup, so that they can have the hope of winning the championship.
……
The Finals are about to begin, and the Nets are facing the Rockets.
The Rockets did a big job this season, and in the middle of the season, they traded one of the twin towers, Otis Thorpe, for the aerial glider Drexler from the Trail Blazers.
Thorpe's starting power forward position was pushed up by Robert Horry, the original starting three.
Although such a lineup adjustment has led to a decrease in the strength of the twin towers, after all, Horry is not a standard power forward player at all, he is more like a small forward.
However, while the strength of the twin towers has decreased, because of the addition of Drexler, the strength of the Rocket's backcourt has been greatly improved.
Kenny Smith, Maxwell and Drexler, this backcourt lineup is really tough.
Before the game against Magic, Dad had a chance to win, but now he is about to play against the Rockets, but Dad is worried, obviously he has no certainty of winning against the Rockets.
Magic head coach Brian Hill is just a newcomer, only taking the head coach position for the first time in '93, and his qualifications are not much better than Davidson......
This kind of new melon egg must be a little less interesting in terms of on-the-spot command.
Rocket head coach Tang Shuai is not, this is a head coach whose coaching ability has been recognized by his father.
"Wilson, do you have any ideas for the next series?" At breakfast, Daddy asked, wanting to hear what Davidson had in mind.
"It can only be seen if Coleman can beat Horry, if we can beat it, we have a chance to win the championship, if we can't beat it, then we may be hanging." Davidson said with a frown.
Daddy nodded, Horry must take good care of this.
After breakfast, Daddy took Davidson to the office.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Davidson received a phone call.
Davidson never expected that the call would be from Pat Riley.
What made Davidson even more speechless was that Pat Riley invited Davidson to be his chief assistant coach.
The Miami Heat's head assistant coach!
After Davidson told his dad about this, he sneered.
"This guy was fired in New York, I didn't expect to find a home so soon."
The New York Knicks had a good regular season, but the playoffs have been quite miserable in the past few years, and it is clear that the Knicks management has lost faith in Pat Riley.
People like Pat Riley naturally don't worry about their next home, and it is estimated that the Knicks will fire him today, and he will be able to find his next home tomorrow.
Apparently the Miami Heat became Pat Riley's next home.
"What did he say?" Daddy asked.
"He said that he wanted to meet and talk to me, the sooner the better, and said that the salary would be quite generous." Davidson paraphrased Pat Riley's meaning.
Daddy's brows furrowed, "With what I know about this guy, I'm afraid the Heat will definitely make a big adjustment to the lineup next." ”
"He asked you to go to the Heat, and he must have wanted you to select a strong rookie in the draft."
"Heat big man Glen Les should be sold and replaced with a strong interior lineman, that guy will definitely do this, and I can't say exactly which interior lineman he will change." Daddy analyzed slowly.
Davidson nodded, in the draft two years ago, Dad tore Pat Riley to the ground, but he didn't expect Pat Riley to find himself to be the chief assistant coach at this point in time.
From this point of view, Pat Riley is really ruthless.
His practice belongs to Chiguoguo's digging daddy's corner.
