Chapter 527: The Commander of the Current Alliance

The story of the NBA head coach can be worth telling at every point in time, after all, this part of the team's tactical core strength, the importance of the team is self-evident, and it is one of the most critical people to play the role of the players, and at the same time, their experience is quite rich.

Lakers head coach Wharton, after the success of serving as an assistant coach with the Warriors, has been the head coach of the Lakers for two seasons, and he will coach James in the new season.

00, this year is not only James's draft year, but also Wharton's draft player that year, but the former is the first pick in the draft, and the latter is the second round pick, but when I think of the relationship between the same player and the player after 15 years, I am afraid I will look forward to how they will get along.

Wharton came to the Lakers coaching style, continuing the team style he had accumulated in the Warriors, although the Lakers' record in the past two seasons is very different from the playoff goal, he has always adhered to the team basketball style of play, and the Lakers, who have injected a lot of new blood players in the new season, will play under Wharton's coaching?

With the signings of Stephenson, McGee and Rondo, and the addition of James, head coach Wharton will presumably stick to a team-based style of coaching.

Popovich, the head coach of the Spurs for 22 years, in the past year in the NBA, he has experienced the most unpleasant period in the second half of his life, whether it is the Spurs affairs or life blows, it makes the seventy-year-old man look more vicissitudes in front of the public.

From the 017 playoffs in the Western Conference finals, Popovich's Spurs were swept out by the opponent, to the offseason waiting for Ginobili's contract extension, but at the beginning of the regular season, the core player Leonard did not return normally, and in the playoffs last season, he suffered the grief of the death of his beloved wife, and then Parker and Anderson have joined his team.

The Spurs of that year, now only one member of Ginobili in the GDP remains, and it has not yet been determined whether to return, but the relationship between the team and the core Leonard is afraid that it will never go back to the past.

Thinking of the honor and system that Popovich brought to the Spurs, I only hope that the old coach can enjoy the rest of his coaching career.

West, the former head coach of the Raptors and the current head coach of the Pistons, is considered the most embarrassing head coach in NBA history, and when the 018 head coach of the year was announced, the winner Casey was the former head coach of the Raptors, only because the team was swept out of the last round of the Eastern Conference playoffs in the past.

This famous defensive contribution during the 011 Mavericks championship made Casey immediately become the head coach of the Raptors, and from the point of view of his record of leading the team, it is worthy of recognition, especially in the past season under his coaching, the team played the first record in the Eastern regular season, but there is no way to face the Cavaliers with James.

Casey, the head coach known for his defense, is actually not an example of NBA head coaches, think Brown, who has served as the head coach of the Cavaliers and Lakers, and is now an assistant coach of the Warriors, is, but they are often considered not suitable for today's small-ball era, but in fact, basketball in any era is inseparable from defense.

Casey, who will coach the Pistons in the new season, wonders if she can start afresh and take the new team to a new level.

D'Antoni, the leader of the "Run-and-Bomb Master", has confirmed that the team will continue to work with him not long ago, after all, the performance of the Rockets he coached in the regular season and playoffs last season is obvious to all, and it is more because of the helplessness of Paul's injury and absence.

D'Antoni who came to the Rockets did bring a different team style to this team, especially the team's overall offense became faster under his coaching, and at the same time, there was a significant improvement in defense, at least from the overall performance of the core player Harden, which was improving year by year, until he won the 018 regular season MVP.

In the past season, the Rockets signed Paul with Harden, and D'Antoni can also coordinate the ball of the two very well, which is actually very rare, both stars need more ball possession to play, the first record in the regular season, and the playoffs to the Western Conference Finals, D'Antoni's coaching ability is undoubted.

The NBA players in the offseason are still going on, and whether the Rockets coached by D'Antoni can stop the defending champion Warriors in the new season is very much looking forward to the Western Conference showdown.

Lue, the head coach of the Cavaliers who was appointed from the assistant coach at the time, including the aforementioned Lakers head coach Wharton, was the first to ask for advice, because Lu's ability in the process of dealing with the relationship with the players is very strong, which is also an important reason why the Cavaliers chose him to fight the fire in the midcourt at that time.

Head coach Lue's experience is somewhat similar to that of Wharton, and he is also a relatively young head coach with player experience, although he was a role player in his playing days, he also won an NBA championship, and when he coached the Cavaliers, he led the team to win the championship in the 016 NBA Finals, which is a miracle.

"Walking on the Stars"

In the new season, compared to the Lakers coached by Wharton, Lu's Cavaliers will no longer have the absolute core James, and the former Big Three will only have one member, but as the Cavaliers owner said, the team will definitely not give up because of this, and whether head coach Lue can lead the Cavaliers to open a new chapter again, let time reveal the answer!

Maybe the Cavaliers' strategy is very simple, relying more on James, but head coach Lue needs to do more than that.

Kerr, the head coach of the Warriors, has a three-time championship in four years, and is also the most perfect coaching record in NBA history, taking over the Warriors in the summer of 014, and Kerr who studied under the Spurs Popovich has built the Warriors into a leader in the small-ball era.

Kerr also won very good honors when he was a player, serving as a management position for the Suns that year, and he was also the essence of basketball with a run-and-gun style of play, leading the team to the top from his first season in charge of the Warriors, and in the following seasons, he built the Warriors into a "dynasty team" in an almost crazy way.

Maybe it's a little early to say that the Warriors are a "dynasty team", but from the perspective of the team's playing style and cultural development, this Warriors team has an excellent player configuration, and it also has the geographical advantage of a science and technology city, coupled with the coaching style of the new coach Kerr, thinking about the NBA in the next few seasons, I am afraid it will still belong to this Warriors.

It's okay to say that the core of the Warriors is too talented, and it was Kerr who transformed this Warriors team into a "championship division". (To be continued)
