Chapter 407: Wacker's Past
The Lakers' adjustments, while not directly causing the Nets to make mistakes, have clearly broken their offensive rhythm. Whether it's Valanda's connection with Morris, or the outgoing and internal coordination with Hulk, it's now affected.
That's where WACKER comes in, he knows exactly what cards he has.
And his dedication to victory means he won't miss a chance to blow his opponents. Adjusting the lineup is a gamble, because whoever plays will not necessarily be able to play to their true strength.
But in order to win, Wacker took a gamble, and that's what he was able to do from the underestimation of his basketball coaching career straight to the top.
If he was once involved in the coaching and management of the Lakers after retiring that year, he was a failure. Even because he coached too much, the players openly rebelled.
Now, for WACKER, it's all about meeting Zhang Yi and UCLA now.
They all made each other better, because UCLA was also a broken jar in the first place to find the superstar who was so famous as a player to coach its own team.
All the school is interested in the fact that WACKER's reputation will bring them an investment, and even the loss of one or two good players is not a loss for a fish belly like them, who has been at the bottom for several years.
There are never good players in a bad team, because no matter what the situation of the team is, the really good players are the ones who can turn the tide.
If you are just content with the status quo, then you must not be considered a player with potential. This is the best way to show Sean's value.
The Hornets have even given up on this year's results, but he hasn't.
A good player will never give up on his team, as long as he has a breath left, he will carry the team on.
What Sean did was no less than Zhang Yi and Valanda's performance. Because whether it is the difficulty of leading the team or the performance on the field, everything he does is even more difficult.
It's just that his problem is luck, and in the basketball world, luck is also a kind of strength in many cases.
The Hornets originally chose Sean to make a big splash, after all, Sean was already a nationally famous superstar in college.
Who would have thought that the series of adjustments made by the team would all seem wrong now, if it weren't for Sean's single-handedly carrying the team into the playoffs.
Then their year's hard work will all go down the drain. You know, this year is a big year for the draft, which means that the quality of next year's draft will not be too good.
That's why teams that have been on a bad streak often don't do much good, even if they're lucky enough to pick a few champions, they can't lead the team to a good result.
The Hornets were a playoff team the year before, so they can't be considered such a team. It's just because they know the strength of Zhang Yi and others that they choose to mess up.
The world made people go, and sent away the so-called inside gate that was exchanged for last year's team's interior core, which directly locked up their salaries.
Whether it's this year, all of them have to rely on Sean, unless the injured players all play normally, otherwise, Sean will really be killed by the Hornets.
Being the boss of a bad team for several years in a row did not do him any good experience growth at all. Even now he's been forced to go against the owner, which isn't a good thing.
Because no matter how strong Sean's strength is, this is also a world where capital is rampant. If the owner of the team says that he wants to hide him, there is no way for anyone else to help him.
After all, the contract is here, and if the team doesn't cut him for a day, he won't be able to play for a day.
There are more than one or two such good players who have been buried in the long history of the NBA. Sean's background also doesn't help him, so it's definitely risky for him to say that.
But now the results are good. The Hornets have steadily maintained their position in the top eight in the West and are getting closer to securing a playoff spot.
Although the competition in the west is always fierce. Sean's ability to lead the team can still be seen, after all, his scoring and field control ability are very strong.
Even with three substitutes, they played at the level of a strong team. Of course, this is also inseparable from the coach's tuning. It was the boss's decision, and he wasn't happy either.
Now that Sean has spoken his mind for him, Coach Hornets is also happy to lead the team to play results, because even the winning percentage of the head coach's career will affect the historical status and job prospects in the future.
Therefore, being able to hit the finals and leading the team to play badly for two consecutive years are definitely two situations. People don't analyze what happened to the team to make it bad, people just focus on the final result.
Of course, WACKER was questioned because of the team's performance problems. But that's not entirely to blame either. After all, the Purple and Gold Legion in that area are all players at the level of the Demon King of the Mixed World.
Looking at the head coach of the whole league, only Wacker's temper temper can lead this team. It's just that no one would have thought that a player strike would break out in the end.
After all, how many players have no quality to complain about the manager because of extra training? Everyone plays with a salary to win, and it is only natural that the team can't play well and practice.
The players in the league didn't have that much to do back then. Until he was kicked out of the uniform by the team, Wacker didn't feel that he was wrong.
It also turned out that the Lakers team could not be adjusted at all.
Only the assistant coach has no majesty to say in order to protect himself, not to mention the plummeting results of the team, and more importantly, the whole team is extremely chaotic.
The players who used to be pressed by Wacker's fame and wrists immediately became unaware of their own pounds and taels without restraints.
The problems that broke out in the news back then were one after another. Even not showing up on time for training has become a trivial matter.
In order to keep his job, the assistant coach who accepted it even hid it from the manager and senior management for the players at the beginning. Knowing that there was a core player who was out in a car accident while he was supposed to be training, he picked out all the truth.
In addition to being a drunk driver, this guy also had an unregistered firearm and a pack of drugs in the car, which is already a fault that cannot be covered up.
When the Lakers conducted a team-wide self-examination, the team leaders found out the reason for their sudden plummeting. Almost no one in the team showed up for training on time.
And the assistant coach has no deterrent effect at all, and has completely become a plaything between the players. Because as long as his words are important, let alone punished, the players will immediately threaten with complaints.
It wasn't until this moment that the dirty faces of this group of Lakers players were revealed, and everyone knew how strong Wacker was when he played well with this kind of player.
But it was too late, because Wacker had already left the NBA......
