Chapter 621: Kidd's Character (4/4!) )
The team is doing daily training, but the morale of both the players and the coaching staff is not very high.
This wave of operations in the alliance is indeed a bit demoralizing.
Tang Tian said some words of encouragement to the players, after all, after the end of this wave of devils, the opponents who will fight next, the 76ers, the Hornets, and the Magic are not particularly strong opponents.
"We're going to have a rebound."
Tang Tian's words played a somewhat role.
After talking to the players, Tang Tian pulled Kidd back to the head coach's office to chat.
"Jason, I watched it in the last game, you seem to have given up the team's system, both offensively and defensively?" Tang Tian asked directly.
Kidd's brows furrowed slightly, Tang Tian was like a mountain in front of him, and now this mountain was pressing on him step by step, pressing him out of breath.
"No, we were too far behind, I was just looking for something to change." Kidd thought for a moment and said.
Tang Tian heard Kidd say that, and then nodded: "We have discussed, it is a very suitable system, so stick to it." ”
Kidd didn't say anything more.
The communication with Kidd was faster than expected, and Tang Tian also saved a lot of trouble.
Two days later, the Nets hosted the 76ers, and Tang Tian also went to watch the game.
The 76ers' trade for Holiday and the reimbursement of the newly drafted Embiid for the season with a knee injury are completely in rebuilding mode.
The Nets didn't have much trouble facing the belly, and they beat their opponents 107-87 to end a four-game losing streak.
In the second half, Kidd continued to experiment with the ball, but the difference was that he made changes to the lineup.
It seems that he didn't tell Tang Tian the truth, he still wanted to express his things in the arena.
However, Tang Tian didn't say anything if he could win, and as a boss, he asked too much of the coach, which seemed inappropriate.
Although it is for the revival of the team, it is all the head coach who came here, and if he were the head coach, he would not be the owner who has been giving advice like this.
In the following time, Tang Tian put more energy into his relationship with Brooke Rattle.
As a local, Rattle has a true love for Brooklyn, having seen the squalor and gloom of Brooklyn (Brooklyn was once the most crime-prone area in New York) and the prosperity of Brooklyn today.
Tang Tian knew that there were many Chinese in Brooklyn, and he was also bent on rebuilding the Nets.
The two of them talked a lot, and it was really easy to get to heart.
Slowly, Lat's favor for Tang Tian increased, and he was not very resistant to the sale of shares.
After all, for him, the original investment was also due to the idea of bringing in an NBA team for Brooklyn, and now there are people who are more attentive and genuinely want to lead the team to rise, and he has no reason to resist.
It is foreseeable that after a while, Tang Tian's purchase of the remaining shares will be a matter of course.
Just as he was about to go further, Jones's phone call interrupted him.
"We're in trouble."
By this time, the time has come to December, and the Nets currently have a 10-15 record, ranking 10th in the East, and recently suffered a wave of five consecutive losses.
And worst of all, Jokic slowly faded out of the rotation!
Tang Tian reflected on himself after the last chat, so he didn't pay too much attention to the team's affairs, and the previous attention was two weeks ago, when the team's 9-8 record was okay.
It's important to buy shares, but it's also important to revive the team, and if we let that go unchecked, it's going to be a bit of a mess.
On this day, the Nets are at home against the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors' new head coach, Casey, has built a great defensive system for the team, and the team is now a step forward in the regular season than before.
The Nets' starting lineup has changed from the beginning of the season, with Simmons as the team's starting small forward.
Before the start of the game, Tang Tian noticed that the attendance rate was even lower than at the beginning of the season, only about seventy percent, which was in New York.
After the two teams started fighting, Tang Tian's brows furrowed even higher.
Lopes is almost no longer in the high post, Joe Johnson and DeLong have almost half of the team's offensive plays, and the defense has once again used Kidd's favorite ball-handler to press.
Although Simmons' defensive awareness and ability are better than Bojan Bogdanovic before him, Lopes and Joe Johnson's slow speed still can't be changed, let alone the problem of no space on the offensive end of the court.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 16-32.
Constipation on offense, slow tempo, leaky defense, and a one-quarter flower.
The fans at the scene also shook their heads when they saw it.
With such a style of play, there will be a ghost if you can have an attendance rate.
And what makes him even more angry is that as Jones said, because of the problem of playing style and tactics, Jokic's rotation position has been completely replaced by Lavoy Allen.
Looking at the eager and unwilling eyes of the Serbian guy sitting on the bench, Tang Tian knew that he had to communicate with Kidd really after the game.
106-76, the Raptors scored a 30-point victory, giving the Nets a six-game losing streak.
The players walked to the dressing room with a dejected expression, and Kidd didn't look very good, and after some polite words of "we will be better in the next game" in an interview with the home reporter, he left in a hurry.
Tang Tian didn't go to the locker room, and went directly to the head coach's office to find Kidd.
"Jason, why do you want to abandon the original tactical system?" Tang Tian was in a bad mood, and at this time, he directly used a questioning tone.
'The previous tactical system didn't fit the team, we didn't have a good record, so we had to change. Kidd wasn't in a good mood either, and his tone wasn't too polite.
"And yet? Isn't the current record worse than before? Look at the attendance rate at home right now, it's not going to work at all. ”
'I'm the manager and my role is to lead the team to win and not to think about home attendance, that's what the stadium should think about. Kidd said-for-tat.
"And then 6 in a row?" Tang Tian was a little angry.
"This is the process, didn't we go through this process at the Thunder? I'm sure it will turn out well, just like it was with the Thunder. ”
Tang Tian was stunned by Kidd.
He suddenly felt that he might not be able to convince Kidd anymore.
People have personalities, and Kidd and his former mentor are incompatible because of tactical problems, which shows that Kidd, like him, is a person who likes to take care of everything and has the absolute right to speak in the team.
It's just that the difference is that the gap between Kidd's level as a coach and him as a traverser is a bit big.
A capable head coach with a big package, like Popovich and Riley, will bring success, but if he doesn't, it's Stamford Van Gundy, which will only keep the team in a mess.
