Chapter 423: Female Coach

"This is impossible, sir, and they can still restrain us? Aren't we the best? They're sixth in the West, and they're almost 10th in the league. ”

It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening local time in Phoenix, and it was early in the morning, and it was supposed to be the time to rest, but for the next day's race, no, it should be this day's race, everyone on the Runners team still gathered in the hotel conference room.

Salehi was a little unimpressed by Wang Lei's statement that the runners were restrained by the Suns, this handsome European guy is actually a very naïve guy in private, or he has some secondary diseases.

"Guys, I never said our tactics were perfect, remember that there is only one thing in this world that is absolute, and that is that there is absolutely no such thing as an absolute absolute."

Although Wang Lei is very tired physically, his spirit at this time is a little excited, this is the first meeting between the team and the Suns in the regular season, but Wang Lei has been studying the Suns for a long time.

As the head coach of a professional team, since he has a salary from others, he naturally has to work for the team, Wang Lei is obviously a very responsible coach, and it can even be said that he has taken the coaching job as his hobby.

"I've described to you my basketball philosophy before, this concept is my ultimate dream of basketball, it's hard to say if it can really be realized, and now the style of play we use seems to have the shadow of this concept of water impermanence, but basically there are still a lot of flaws."

"Phoenix may not really have star players, but their players have very outstanding characteristics, but their characteristics are hidden in their very strong team play."

"The opponent's offense is excellent, and there are many offensive points, and each of the starting five has good attacking ability, so this is a big test for our defense, and the opponent's defense is also multi-point cooperation, and their rotation speed is considered to be the best in the whole league, and this must be remembered, don't let up on the field, because your opponent is a team that never relaxes."

Wang Lei explained the characteristics of the Suns to the players, although they are teams in the same division, the Runners and the Suns have not played each other before, which is actually caused by the league's arrangement before the season starts.

At the beginning of the season, the league didn't think that the Kings would become the current Runners, so the schedule of the Kings, that is, the current Runners, was very "reasonable" in terms of schedule.

This "reasonableness" is based on the fact that the Kings are a bad team.

The league thinks that although the Kings are a fish belly, the team changed the tycoon owner before the start of the season, so the league plans to use the schedule to arrange the Kings to mess up, and then give them the 2021 draft pick, which can be regarded as a good sale for the Leonard family, and all three regular season games between the Suns and the Kings are arranged after the All-Star Game to support the Suns, after all, through the performance of last season, the league's top management feels that the Suns are actually still a team with great potential.

This arrangement can actually be regarded as hard work, but everyone in the league management did not expect that Wang Lei would transform this new runner team so successfully, and the schedule arranged before made the current runner team look very bad.

It's a strange enough to play three games with the Suns in a week and a half, home and away.

And for a week and a half, the Runners have to play a game at home against the Celtics, a defensive powerhouse in the East.

It can be said that the next ten days will be a test for the runners.

"If the Suns are so good, how are they sixth in the West?"

Salish is now incarnated as a hundred thousand whys, he just wants to hear Wang Lei praise him.

"It's actually very simple, our style of play is beyond this era, we can easily restrain many teams, and the offense alone is enough to collapse many teams, but in the same way, our flaws happen to be restrained by the Suns, and at the same time, the Suns can't beat the kind of team with interior stars, their players are too average, which is an advantage against us, but against the kind of team with a super interior team, the Suns can't stand it."

Wang Lei basically explained the characteristics of the Suns team to the players clearly, and at the same time, he also gave reminders and opinions on what the team needs to pay attention to in the game.

That's all he can do now, but his return is really the biggest good news for the runners, in the first two defeats, the players found that the team was always passive at the critical moment, all the changes were basically made passively, and the coaching staff simply couldn't deal with such a situation, which made the players themselves have a sense of fear, and naturally performed much worse in the game.

Now that Wang Lei is back, at least they don't have to worry about the lack of due changes in the team at the critical moment.

The Runners are studying the Suns, and the Suns are naturally studying the Runners' style of play repeatedly, and the Runners, who lost the first two games, have revealed some uncommon loopholes, which makes Suns head coach George Gwen feel that he has found an opportunity.

The Atlanta Hawks' more extreme defensive strategy against the Runners made Suns head coach George Gwen feel like a good opportunity to beat the Runners.

George Gwen doesn't know much about his team, but luckily he has a very cohesive coaching staff that has been able to bring the Suns to where they are now, and the real core of this is actually Penny Alexander, the only female member of the coaching staff.

It's hard to imagine how a female assistant coach could have become the most central member of the Suns' coaching staff, and it's fair to say that this very young woman is actually the one who brought the Suns to where they are now, single-handedly helping George Gwen, who is now 47, secure the position as head coach.

Now facing the strong Runners, George Gwen and Penny have a disagreement for the first time, George Gwen feels that he has found a loophole in the Runners, and Penny always believes that the team should pursue a stable state, not find any opponent's holes, and do their best to get good results.
