Chapter 345: Personality Boss
In this game, WACKER's idea is to hone more rotations, so that with such a good opponent, it can also make up for more difficult games in the future.
Because before the start of the game, Wacker also mentioned his idea to Zhang Yi, BA cannot be led by one star in this long season, and other members need to work together to get really good results.
The Pacers are an extreme example of this, who don't need stars, don't even think about star effects, and rely on players who are active in the lower and middle tiers.
There has been speculation that Duncan's idea was to use these players to make it more difficult for him to win. In fact, it can also be said that when a person becomes famous, what he wants most in his heart may be stimulation.
Duncan turned down many star requests to join, and even ruthlessly sent away players who were beaten from him. There is no such thing as an absolute good person in this world, for whatever reason, but at least it shows that this man is very paranoid and confident.
No matter how bad the Pacers' lineup is, he has absolute confidence that he can play well. When Duncan has been at the peak of mythology for so many years, even if he often falls in the Eastern Conference finals or the finals.
It's not that the Pacers don't have a championship life, it's that the league doesn't want them to win a championship. Duncan, who doesn't like to speak in public, has also publicly stated that he wants to make NBA history.
Superstar huddle to win the championship? The NBA has appeared. The inner and outer cores have also won championships, and there are rare single-core championships. But Duncan is going to win the championship with a coreless, completely civilian player, and if it comes true, it will indeed be a game.
But the alliance is a business after all, and no core means not enough commercial value. That's one of the reasons why they fall in the final every time......
The referees are not black, but the more fundamental rules are no longer suitable for the Pacers' tactics. When the star plays alone, the penalty for the defender is more strict. Already when the hero ball appears, the referee will selectively ignore fouls such as walking and hitters that should not be ignored.
All this is called encouraging offense, but in fact, it is a cover for the stars. When people see who hits the lore ball, they naturally think he's greater. But he will ignore who helped him complete the lore.
This person is often the reason why the league is behind it, and the teams with more stars, more exposure, and more commercial value are the best winners.
Duncan's insistence on these things is contrary to the laws of business alliances, but this is what he enjoys. Back then, when the Pacers lost to the Golden State Warriors, who were about to start a three-game winning streak, they said they didn't win with basketball.
After all, who would have imagined that in the first game of the Finals, the Pacers side of the Pacers would be ejected, and they just muttered a few words about a controversial decision that they didn't understand.
This unfairness choked the Pacers from the start, although they fell behind 3-0 for two games in a row. But all this seems to be to no avail, and it can even be said that the league wants to play a few more finals.
The whole series was not very popular, but the Pacers had a total of 9 T's, a total of 3 players were ejected, and 4 people graduated with 6 fouls. Contrarily? The Warriors also ate 7 T's, which seemed fair, but none of them were ejected, and none of them graduated with 6 fouls......
You must know that this season's Pacers have an excellent record of 70 wins, but the Golden State Warriors have Curry Jr., a serious MVP in the league, and an All-Star MVP.
For the sake of the league's new signature, it can be said that the referees really gave it their all, so much so that that year's Finals was also voted one of the darkest series in history.
After being hacked a championship, Duncan didn't say anything, it should be said that he had nothing to say. No matter how strong a person's power is, it is impossible to turn the system upside down.
But when everyone thought Duncan would learn something to attract one or two stars to join, he once again sent away the stars who had struggled to make a difference, and completely turned into a civilian team.
At first, everyone thought that his ambition had been dispersed, and now he planned to compete for a champion show or something. Duncan quickly slapped everyone in the face, quickly integrated the newcomers into his system, and after a 3-15 opening, he completed an epic 38-game winning streak!
And in the end, he finished with a 60-22 record and won the Eastern Conference championship again. Even Curry Jr., the core of the Golden State Warriors, has said more than once that he admires Duncan.
Compared with last year, this Pacers team is more civilian, and no one on the team averages 20+ points per game, and even players who can score 15+10 per game are already their best-looking players.
This shows how indifferent the Americans are to this team that lacks heroes, and in addition to Indiana supporters, even the Nets, who are eighth in the East, may have more fans than their fans.
But Duncan eventually led them to the Eastern Conference Finals. If last year the league hacked him because they wanted to praise Curry Jr., this year it was the turn of 'grabbing' Thomas......
It wasn't a matter of fate that he fell to the league's new favorite for two years in a row, and Duncan was so stubborn that he didn't fit in with everyone else. Even if the other head coaches worshipped him like a god, that didn't stop Duncan from leading the team to a championship.
Another year, another batch of newcomers. Many people say that he is too pretending, why can't he lead the team in a down-to-earth manner? Isn't it a sin to use a star? But Duncan once again came up with the second-best record in the East in the regular season, and even if he didn't say anything, the team's results couldn't be deceived.
And in the face of the interview, Duncan also said that he will continue like this, and he believes that the era of civilian basketball will come. Of course, he doesn't play civilian basketball, nor is it so-called team basketball.
The Pacers have too deep a personal trait of Duncan that is difficult for other teams to emulate. In other words, even if they win the championship one day, this experience is difficult to replicate.
Of course, the league will not let the consistent model succeed, because then professional basketball will not be regulated. So their existence is inherently on the positive and negative levels with commercial basketball.
Wacker was intrigued, but he also knew he couldn't learn something about this personality. Because he needs a championship, Zhang Yi needs a championship, and the Lakers need a championship even more!
It's not so much about interests, but about the goal of struggle, at this stage, their team's goal is the championship trophy, so before you get it, everyone's personality must give in!
Just like Zhang Yi didn't make much of the limelight this time, it was all for the Lakers to come up with a better rotation lineup in the next game.
