32. The Warriors' power struggle
Liu Ren grabbed the defensive rebound, pushed forward the counterattack himself, and missed the three-point shot, but he grabbed the offensive rebound himself and put the ball in the basket on the head of Iguodala, who was chasing back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Turning around, Curry tilted his body and threw the ball in under Bazemore's defense.
Tired!
Curry single-handedly took on the Lakers, making seven three-pointers in the half, the team still fell behind, others couldn't help at all, and the coach was the same as ever, when the offense was constipated, there was no rut at all.
Curry made a three-point shot to help the Warriors renew their mouths, and when he turned around, Liu Ren tried to shoot a three-pointer again and entered!
After practicing for a summer, Liu Ren has an extra three-point skill pack in his offensive arsenal, which is very good and powerful.
Coach you lie! This is the sad and indignant voice of a certain elementary school student.
Before playing against the Lakers, Mark Jackson said to Curry: "The Lakers don't have Kobe, Nash is injured, Gasol is old, everyone else is average, let's play casually, don't make the difference too big." ”
Now Curry wants to say: Well, it's true that don't let the point difference be too big, it didn't look good at all in the last game that it was so big, now you have to try to control the point difference, but ...... It's us who lag behind or not!
How good was my bench defense last year? Why trade away! That Green always passes the ball to the empty Famar, if it is me, I don't know how many threes I can shoot, and that China's No. 1, what is it called Liu, Renliu? His last few games last year were lucky, and his defense was poor? He was so pressed that Thompson didn't dare to dribble! Frontal steal, frontal steal! Doesn't it mean that he only scores inside when he is poor offensively? Where did this three-point shot come from? And isn't our newly signed small forward James, who is known as one size younger? Why can't you stop the opponent if you don't shoot?
Curry fought alone on the court, and Mark Jackson gave him the most freedom, but it also made the team's offense disorganized, and if the players played well, the team played well, and there was no tactic to speak of.
There is no offensive system, no offensive tactics, singles or singles, this is the strongest weapon of the Warriors, and it is also the biggest weakness of the whole team, there are only two people with organizational ability, Curry and Iguodala, who are okay with abuse, and opponents with a certain strength will play eggs unless Curry plays the kind of shooting rate that went against the sky in last year's playoffs.
In the case of Bazemore, Green, and Whiteside trying to show themselves, Curry can still fight against the Lakers when he is on the court, and the Warriors are knocked down after Curry goes off the court, and their second team is not comparable to the Lakers' second team, Liu Ren knows that the Lakers are known as bench bandits in the future, and even the Warriors who won 73 were overturned by this group of benches.
125 to 115, in the case of Curry's 50-point surge in the preseason, the Warriors finally completed the task assigned by the coach, don't let the point difference be too big, but ...... The winning side is the Lakers.
……
"Joe, Bob, I want you guys to think about it, Steve is going to be a great coach." Warriors special advisor Jerry West said:
Warriors general manager Bob Myers discussed it with owner Joe Lacob and said: "Jerry, Mark has done well in the past two years, his record has improved a lot, and he made the playoffs last year, so we have no reason to fire him. We haven't made the playoffs since '06-07, and last year Mark led the team to the playoffs, so it didn't make a mistake to fire him. ”
"Oh, Bob, you're not kidding, are you? With Curry and Thompson, Lee, Bogut, you find a coach who is not stupid to lead the team into the playoffs, we can enter the playoffs all because Curry is not injured, do you think under the leadership of a coach like Mark who relies on the main force to fight hard, how long can Curry's ankle last? I helped him lobby Iguodala to join us, but he used Iguodala as a defensive coolie. Jerry West's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Jerry, don't worry, I'll consider your proposal very carefully." Lacob hurriedly reassured Jerry West, the Warriors' rise in recent years has been due to the guidance of the former famous general manager, and it was Jerry West's arrangement to send away Ellis, who was thought to be stronger at the time, to correct Curry, which proved his vision.
The successful negotiation with Iguodala this past summer to lobby the other party to join is a testament to Jerry West's strong ability.
Jerry West says Mark Jackson can't do it, and Lacob believes that Mark Jackson really can't.
And Mark Jackson is a stubborn person, he can't listen to other people's opinions when coaching, he believes in either listening to his arrangement, or trading and leaving, and the management has not been in conflict for a day or two, obviously, this time he also offended Jerry West.
However, as the hero who helped the team reach the playoffs for the first time in many years, the team had no reason to fire him for a while.
"So, Jerry, if Mark doesn't do better than last year this season, we're going to fire him." Lacob decided.
A year? It's okay, Jerry West is generally happy with the outcome of this conversation, and he didn't expect to take down Mark Jackson directly.
Originally, in the summer, Jerry West wanted to discuss the shortcomings of the other party's coaching with Mark Jackson, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by the other party as a consultant to be his consultant, and don't interfere in the head coach's arrangement, otherwise he will be fired like when he was with the Lakers.
Woe comes from the mouth, that is, Mark Jackson. Although he is also surnamed Jackson, he has no ability as a Zen master, offended Jerry West, and in the end he can only swallow the bitter fruit himself.
……
No matter how well they played, it was only in the preseason, and the outstanding performance of the Lakers' young players did not attract much attention, and the news that Kobe Bryant announced that he might have to delay his comeback time attracted far more attention than the preseason double killing the Warriors.
Originally, Kobe Bryant gave an estimated comeback time around Christmas, but this time he postponed his comeback time and was ready to return when he was fully ready to come.
Seeing this news, Liu Ren was completely relieved about this matter, Kobe Bryant has an advantage, that is, he takes good care of his body, otherwise he would not have played the highest offensive efficiency of his career at the age of 35 last season. Liu Ren just believed that Kobe Bryant was responsible for his body, so he took the initiative to talk to him about it, and it seemed that he listened to his own advice.
Kobe Bryant's postponement of his comeback has many benefits for Liu Ren, the first is that Liu Ren doesn't want Kobe to play so badly in the next few years, and the second is that Kobe Bryant's delayed comeback, the more time he can show his ability. And if you can play with a healthy Kobe, it's definitely a lot better than Kobe Bryant, who is not in good shape.
