1014. The Heat change the coach

On the afternoon of November 7, after the Hawks' practice, they were ready to go to Miami for the night and play the Heat away tomorrow.

Due to the proximity of Miami, the owner will also go to the away game this time, just like after the Hawks and Heat have become strong in recent years, every time the Heat go to Atlanta to play on the road, Pat Riley and Mitch Allison will come with them.

Before departure, the team is responsible for the news and information summary, that is, the team staff who spend all day on the Internet to read the news, read the newspaper, watch the TV news, etc., and send the latest news to Coach Kruger.

Coach Kruger was not too surprised to see the new news: "I expected it to be like this. ”

Liu Mang, who was chatting with Coach Kruger, leaned in and took a look.

The latest news, just yesterday, the Heat quietly fired Stan Van Gundy and today reported the head coach change to the league, and the league announced that the Heat's trust head coach is the Heat's general manager Pat Riley.

"Poor Big Van Gundy." Liu Mang muttered.

"Ace, the NBA is realistic, you have to be clear about that." Coach Kruger reminded that Liu Mang is better now, Liu Mang before Rahim left was too naïve, he was afraid that Liu Mang was now in a comfortable state, and he accidentally made another mistake.

"Hmm." Liu Mang didn't say much.

When Liu Mang saw the news, he remembered that in 2014, Big Van Gundy didn't want Josh Smith anymore, but he just didn't give it to Pat Riley.

In the summer of 2013, Big Van Gundy just poached Josh Smith, with a contract of more than 50 million for 4 years, but it was not suitable for a year, Josh Smith's all-round style is incompatible with the Pistons who need to attack the point, but for the Heat, it can be used as a poor version of James.

At this time, Pat Riley wanted to trade Josh Smith back to make up for the impact of James' departure, and began to show that Josh Smith and Bosh, who were old Wade and still retained the state of the Hawks, were barely considered poor versions of the Big Three, and Josh Smith was only 29 years old at the time.

But Big Van Gundy would rather buy out Josh Smith than send Josh Smith to the Heat, and the Heat exceeded the luxury tax threshold, and at that time there was a bidding clause in the buyout clause, and the Heat were not eligible to bid, and were snatched away by the Rockets, who could directly sign Howard at the time.

Liu Mang remembers that Van Gundy is very loyal to Pat Riley, and his younger brother has been the head coach for many years and has been following Pat Riley.

Pat Riley snatched the head coach position, which had no impact on the Hawks, and before playing the Heat, Pat Riley directly snatched the tactical board.

The Hawks didn't care that much, but Pat Riley's approach caused an uproar in the league.

Finally got Wade in his hands and cultivated for two years, O'Neal is still at the tail of his peak, and there are so many strong reinforcements to add, this season's Heat team is more championship than last season, plus the Hawks have won two consecutive championships, maybe there is a possibility of slack, the Heat have a chance to break through the East, at this time Pat Riley snatched the head coach position, or snatched the head coach position from Stan Van Gundy, who he cultivated!

This kind of behavior, the head coaches of each team understand Pat Riley's egoistic mentality, and think it is too normal, Pat Riley wants to recruit a head coach It is difficult to find someone who is willing to go, and they all know that as long as the Heat team is strong, Pat Riley will immediately grab the position back.

This kind of thing is not publicized by other coaches, who are the general managers of a team.

But what fans don't know is that Pat Riley's behavior has made the NBA fan community start lighting the lights for Stan Van Gundy......

It's miserable!

Stan Van Gundy is one of the worst coaches in NBA history!

……

……

With only six games played in the new season, Pat Riley couldn't resist taking away the harvest of the past few years of playing and developing new talents, building the chemistry of Wade and O'Neal, and the abundance of reinforcements in the summer.

In fact, since the preseason game against the Hawks this season, Pat Riley has been extremely dissatisfied with Stan Van Gundy's ability to deal with it, playing the Hawks game, if Stan Van Gundy was more cautious in arranging his troops, he didn't let O'Neal play casually in the first half of the third quarter because he was too far ahead in the first half, and in the second half of the third quarter, O'Neal was almost equal to a big pillar on the court, and the Hawks quickly narrowed the difference, and the Heat team would not leave Liu Mang with a chance to play an amazing performance in the last two minutes.

In fact, this is secondary, mainly because there is no way!

Pat Riley was surprised by Wade's progress, and the players who added to him actually performed much more than he expected, starting with the start of the season against the Lakers, the Heat have won all six games in ten days now!

Wade played against Kobe Bryant and had a slight advantage, but playing other teams, except for a few super outsiders, were all pressed and played, leading the Heat to six consecutive wins.

At this time, if Pat Riley doesn't grab power, he won't have a chance.

……

On the side of the Heat, when Wade learned the news, his joy prevailed, he liked Stan Van Gundy very much, but he hated Stan Van Gundy's on-the-spot command ability, there was no way to play the Bulls, and when he played the Hawks, the changes of the Hawks Stan Van Gundy never kept up with the rhythm.

Now that it has been replaced by Pat Riley, who has pioneered the era twice, Wade is excited, happy, he has some expectations, is it time for him to start a new era?

O'Neal, the other core of the Heat team, was very bitter when he heard the news, he really didn't like Pat Riley, he lost two pounds this year, and he was only 142 kilograms, thinking about the meat that had followed him for so many years, O'Neal felt distressed.

Pat Riley's vampire-like head coach, O'Neal heard about some of his deeds when he was with the Lakers, and now O'Neal is in pain.

However, O'Neill did not take a stand, did not reveal his thoughts.

Because he wants to win the fourth championship, he wants one more championship than Kobe, and now Kobe has Yao Ming, who has a good hope of winning the championship, and O'Neal is more motivated than Kobe to win one more championship.

……

……

Although the Hawks are not surprised that the Heat have changed head coaches, Pat Riley has coached in person, and the Heat are not quite the same as the previous Heat teams, which is a president's Hill-level head coach comparable to Cardinal Auerbach and Zen master Phil Jackson, and the Hawks are more focused on the game against the Heat.
