Chapter 185: The Coach's Conjecture

The game has reached the final moment, the Heat score is still 3 points behind, and there are only more than two minutes left before the game, and the mainland fans of the entire American Airlines Center are holding their breath, their eyes closely watching every move on the court, for fear of missing any small wonderful pictures.

Spo on the sidelines looked at Li Shihao's figure, with surprise and solemnity in his eyes, and the two emotions were mixed in the eyes of this Filipino, entangled and unclear.

As Pat. Riley's successor, Spo, was named head coach of the Miami Heat in '08, becoming the first Filipino mixed-race head coach in NBA history, and many are questioning his coaching ability.

Will Filipinos coach basketball?

It's not funny at all, and it doesn't look like a Japanese center can get into the NBA!

The North American media was ridiculing the Filipino for taking over the Miami Heat, and even the local Miami media failed to put aside that question, taking a conservative attitude towards the team's president, Pat Riley.

Even the behind-the-scenes owner of the Heat couldn't help but temporarily send an inquiry to his team's "general manager" Pat Riley after hearing the news at the cocktail party.

The answer given by the "God Operator" Pat Riley is a very positive trust, and in the experience of Pat Riley's many years of coaching in the Heat, Heat owner Allison temporarily retracted his thoughts and gave a rare trust to the Filipino.

It turns out that the Filipino can be valued by Pat Riley because he has a few brushes, and he has a lot of coaching skills, but he lacks some coaching opportunities.

Last season was a rookie season under Heat head coach Spo, leading the team to a 43-39 record, a winning rate of more than 50%. And going into the playoffs in fifth place in the East, which is a good reflection of Spo's coaching level.

"God Operator" Pat Riley has observed Spo's coaching process behind the scenes, to be honest, Pat Riley is very satisfied with his disciple, Spo's tactical talent is indeed outstanding, and he is a natural head coach seedling.

This season, Spo has once again shown his excellent coaching skills. Now the Miami Heat is ranked fifth in the East, with an excellent record in recent times, and there is hope to hit the third place in the East, and the gap between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics is not big.

However, Spo had a headache tonight, and the Chinese kid on the other side was too good to deal with.

What's more. Although the head coach of the Timberwolves is less qualified than him, his coaching skills are not shallow at all, and he is not below him.

Thinking about it, Heat head coach Spo glanced at Frank Vogel in a straight suit on the sideline opposite, this young coach from the Celtics is very skillful, and he is very good at using tactics, and he has many strange tricks, constantly cracking the tactics he laid out tonight.

Moreover. The young head coach of the Timberwolves has a knack for tweaking the team's defense, and the Timberwolves were able to play with them so much tonight. It was inseparable from their excellent defense.

Time has entered the final moment, what other killer moves will the Timberwolves have?

Heat head coach Spo looked around at the Timberwolves players on the court, swept over one by one, and their names and corresponding styles of play kept popping up in his eyes, Marc Gasol, Kevin Love......

The two strongest points of the Timberwolves in front of him should be Mark Gasol on the inside and the Chinese kid on the outside, one inside and one outside. Holds up the entire tactical framework of the Timberwolves tonight.

The head coach in Minnesota was lucky to be able to coach such two young and spiritual players, and to be honest, Spo was also a little envious, and he was the only one under Wade. Michael Beasley's training attitude is too lazy, which has made the Heat's management a little unhappy with him.

Marc Gasol is the offensive and defensive pillar of the Timberwolves' interior line, and the Timberwolves have almost two-thirds of their tactics involving the young Spanish interior of the second-round pick, but he has already committed five fouls.

No matter how talented Marc Gasol is, no matter how good his awareness on the defensive end is, it is still difficult to resist Dwyanwade who is full of firepower.

Spo knows very well where the strong point of the Heat is, and nothing else, it is Flash Wade.

Wade in the past few seasons is at his peak, strong breakthroughs, coupled with a decent mid-range shooting ability, the lethality on the inside and outside is too great, especially the strong ability to make fouls, which is a nightmare for any team in the league with a strong interior line.

The Flash Wade broke out in the third quarter and beat Marc Gasol to five fouls and Kevin Love to four fouls, which allowed Timberwolves head coach Frank to replace Marc Gasol for a period of protection.

Gasol Jr. is the backbone of the Timberwolves' interior offense and defense, and in terms of strategic significance at the tactical level, Gasol Jr. is much more important than Kevin Love, the former's defensive ability is better and more versatile, which also allows Wade to focus more attention on him.

In the third quarter of tonight, Gasol Jr. received the most impact on the inside.

Time is running out, who exactly will the Timberwolves give their final tactics to?

Heat head coach Spo couldn't stop speculating in his heart, guessing the opponent's layout.

Marc Gasol seems to be more stable and has a greater grasp on the inside, but Marc Gasol attracts too much attention, how to pass the ball to Marc Gasol and create a certain space for Marc Gasol to shoot is the biggest problem that the Timberwolves hesitate to solve.

And to the Chinese kid Bruce Lee on the outside?

His mid-range jumper is very accurate, but the three-point shot is good and bad, and it is not very stable, although his three-point shot has always been "excellent" at critical moments, and he has not made many mistakes, but the number of three-point shots at such critical moments is not much, and it does not prove the three-point shooting ability of Chinese boys, and there do not seem to be many examples that can be corroborated.

So, who exactly will that young head coach of the Timberwolves give the ball to? Is it Marc Gasol or the Chinese kid, or the rest of the players like Kevin Love?

Heat head coach Spo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't think of the tactical intentions of Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel, which depends on Frank's trust in the various players on the Timberwolves team.

It's a pity that there is still too little information about the Timberwolves in the league, especially the head coach opposite, the head coach from the Celtics, who was actually a video director before? (To be continued.) )
