Chapter 69: Daddy's Resignation
Davidson remembered that his father had told him.
Of all the active players in this league, the only player who can be called a standard center template is Orangutan Ewing.
The four centers are all strong, but there is always a difference between strength and weakness, in the eyes of many fans, Ewing is the weakest of them, Ewing's strength is really to say, it may not be stronger than Mourning.
But why is he said to be a standard center-forward template?
The explanation given by Dad is that Olajuwon's technical flow, his skills are not learned by other centers, even if he learns a little fur, he can't learn the essence, and naturally it can't be called a standard template.
O'Neal is a stream of physical talent, and other centers don't have his domineering physical talent, so he can't be called a standard template.
As for Admiral David Robinson, Daddy's exact words were......
"He's not a center at all, a big forward in the mantle of a center."
Looking at it this way, Ewing is really the most standard center among the four centers.
As Mo Ning's senior brother, Ewing helped Mo Ning a lot in the early days of Mo Ning's career, which made Mo Ning's strength grow by leaps and bounds.
……
To Davidson's surprise, in the G5 game, the Nets actually won again, and Coleman broke out in this game, slashing 32 points and 17 rebounds......
The Nets directly led the Knicks, who were second in the East, with a score of 3:2.
This season, the Nets are unlucky, and the No. 2 position has not been strengthened, otherwise, depending on the current situation, the Nets may be able to eliminate the Knicks in five games.
In the next G6, Ewing finally broke out, and Ewing had a very high shooting percentage in this game, leading the team to save the team from the edge of the cliff.
However, in the crucial tie-break battle, Ewing failed to continue the performance of G6, and the Nets directly took away the Knicks in a wave.
This series has proven that Pat Riley's coaching ability is really not as good as Dad's.
Although Pat Riley insisted on stealing the seventh, this is still the case of the Nets' lack of major generals, if the Nets have a full lineup, even if the Knicks are not swept, it is estimated that they can only hold on to five games.
The Nets reached the Eastern Conference Finals, which is undoubtedly great news for Nets fans.
Since winning the championship in '76, the Nets have never played like this in the playoffs.
Daddy directly became a hero in New Jersey, and under his leadership, in just two years, the Nets went from a fish-belly team to the Eastern Conference finals, and it is not too much to say that it is a miracle.
But if you want to talk about miracles, maybe this year's walkers will be even more magical.
With a fifth-place record in the East, they defeated the Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals and entered the Eastern Conference Finals.
Reggie Miller's regular season statistics are actually not particularly good, averaging less than 20 points per game, but when it comes to the playoffs, he immediately breaks out......
After reaching the Eastern Conference finals, Reggie Miller still played well, and eliminated the Nets with a score of 4:2 and advanced to the Finals.
Although the Nets were eliminated, they played the best record in nearly two decades, and the fans were extremely satisfied.
……
Inside Willis Reed's office.
"What? Chuck, don't be kidding me. ”
"I'm looking forward to you leading the Nets to a championship next season!" Willis Reed looked at Daddy Chuck with a look of horror.
"Willis, you know I'm not a joker, that's really what I'm thinking right now." Daddy said with a light smile.
"No, Chuck, I'm not going to agree to your resignation, we're finally getting a little better now, and we're missing a reliable No. 2 player in the lineup."
"Trust me, I'm going to get you a decent quarterback this offseason, and I'm going to win the championship this season!"
Hearing that Daddy Chuck had submitted his resignation, Willis Reed was almost paralyzed.
What are you kidding, it's hard to get into the East Final, and at this critical moment, my dad is going to resign?!
If Daddy leaves, where can I find a head coach with coaching ability at the level of Daddy?!
Once Daddy leaves, hopefully next season the Nets will be beaten as a prototype and become the belly of the East.
At that time, Willis Reed himself will certainly not have a good time.
"Chuck, we're old friends, don't scare me about this."
"It's good, why did you have the idea of resigning?" Willis-Reed asked, puzzled.
Dad waved his hand, "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, and I was deeply touched by the death of Pietrovic before, and I am not young now, so I should spend more time with my family." ”
Willis Reed nodded, but even so, he couldn't accept Daddy's departure, which was an absolutely devastating blow to the Nets.
"Chuck, one more year, at least one more year, we have a really good chance of winning next year."
"If it weren't for the weakness of the No. 2 position this year, it wouldn't have allowed Reggie to play at that level."
"Besides, you're going to leave like this now, where can I find a suitable replacement......" Willis-Reed pleaded incessantly.
Daddy laughed, "How's Wilson?" I feel like he can replace me perfectly. ”
Willis Reed was stunned, "Chuck, it's all like this, don't be kidding." ”
"A 23-year-old kid as the head coach of our Nets? I'm afraid we'll be laughed to death by the people in the circle. ”
"You know, some players are old enough to be that kid's uncle......"
Dad shook his head and smiled bitterly, he came to Willis Reed at this point in time to talk about his resignation, in fact, the main thing was to find out.
The previous incident in Pietrovic really made my father have the idea of retiring and want to spend more time with his family.
But now because of Davidson's entry into the industry, it is naturally impossible for Dad to leave without Davidson's thorough foothold.
Although he also knows very well that even if he resigns, the position of head coach of the Nets is unlikely to be handed over to Davidson.
But he still came to test Willis Reed's tone to see if it was possible for Davidson to take his place.
After the trial, it was found that there was no such possibility at all, and looking at what Willis Reid meant, I am afraid that it is more likely to put Tolbert on the position, or to go to another team to poach an assistant coach at random, than to let Davidson take the position.
"Okay, then I'll coach for another year." Daddy Chuck sighed.
"However, Willis, I'll do the matter of strengthening the No. 2 position."
"To be precise, it's up to Wilson's kid to do it, you should know very well about Muressan's affairs, this kid's vision is much more reliable than ours old guys."
Daddy retracted his resignation, but also made his own request to Willis Reed.
Reed breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Daddy didn't leave, then everything was easy to say.
As for the matter of strengthening the No. 2 position, Reed actually doesn't care very much, as long as Davidson doesn't sell the team's three main players, everything is easy to say.
The Nets' current three main players are naturally Coleman, Muresan and Kenny Anderson.
As long as these three people don't move, the rest of the team can be tossed around.
