Lost again, 4 consecutive defeats, Richard was very depressed, although he didn't think about winning before the game, but when the game was in the most anxious state, Richard was still looking forward to winning.

In the end, he still lost, but Richard was not discouraged by this, the team's performance in this game was already very good, and Lee realized that the team's improvement alone would not be far away.

After the game, Richard sorted out his mood, walked to the center of the court, patted Michael Reid on the shoulder, and comforted: "Michael, well done, we almost beat the defending champion today!" It's all thanks to you! ”

Michael Reed smiled when he heard Richard's words, and he looked up at the scoreboard on the court, and behind Michael Reed's name, the number 42 was written, and above 42, was the word score.

I scored 42 points? Michael Reid couldn't believe it, oh! There were also 11 three-pointers, almost breaking the record! Alas! Unfortunately, only the last three points are missing!

After the game, Richard made a surprise appearance at the press conference, where he showed up with Michael Reed.

However, the reporters did not embarrass Richard and the Warriors, the Warriors have played surprisingly well in this game, Michael Reed's 42 points, almost beat the Lakers...... And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, although the Warriors lost this game, they behaved like a team in the Finals.

The reporters didn't embarrass Richard, but that didn't mean Richard wouldn't embarrass them, he remembered the questions the reporters asked before the game began, so when he found that no one was asking, Richard named them one by one.

"Mr. Baxter Holmes from ESPN, although the NBA doesn't stipulate that the head coach must attend the post-game press conference, is it a surprise that I still came?" Baxter Holmston was embarrassed, but Richard ignored him and continued.

"Mr. Adrian Wonarowski from Yahoo Sports, my team still hasn't won, but I really didn't hide from you; Mr. Duff McManaman of USA Today and Mr. Taylor Frank of Sports Illustrated, after this game, do you have any other thoughts on the young players on my team, Michael Reid scored 42 points, and Ralph Alston got 11 points and 12 assists, and Devin George, who hit four three-pointers from the bottom corner today, what do you think? ”

Richard sneered at the reporters, Taylors Frank looked ugly, and Richard was not ready to fight with the reporters, because the Warriors had to rush to the road to prepare for the away game a day later.

The Warriors' next opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers in 11th place in the East, so Lee senses that the Warriors can win this game, but things are often not as simple as Richard thinks.

The game against the Cavaliers was a back-to-back game for the Warriors, in this game, Michael Reed, who was overdrawn in the last game, completely lost his touch, hitting only 3 of 14 shots, and finally the Warriors also lost the game that Richard originally hoped to win because of the loss of Michael Reed, the tactical core, and they finally lost by 10 points with a score of 89:99.

"Michael Reed played 42 minutes in the last game and scored 42 points, he has exhausted his physical strength, and he lost his touch in this game without accident, maybe Richard Cohan should not have let Michael Reed play in this game."

"The Warriors lost again, five in a row, and then they only have one day off, and after a day, they have to rush to Milvolke, where they will take on the Bucks, who are second in the East, and what awaits them may be six straight defeats!"

……

Richard felt a little bored, he flew to Midwonki overnight with his team, arranged for the players to stay in the hotel, ran to the hotel café alone, ordered a cup of unsweetened coffee, and began to think.

DiClough is a basketball reporter for the San Jose Mercury Newspaper, a local media in San Francisco, and the Warriors began a six-game consecutive Eastern road trip from the Warriors to the Cavaliers, and DiClow, as the Warriors' team reporter, naturally flew with the team from Oakland to Cleveland, and then from Cleveland to Mivolki.

When all the players went into their rooms to rest, DiClough arrived at the hotel café with his laptop to write a press release for the evening's game.

Pushing the door open and walking into the café, Dicruff saw Richard Cohan almost at a glance!

At this time, Richard Cohan was holding a coffee and holding a piece of paper to write and draw, and DiClough suddenly became interested, and he had always been very interested in this young man who was both the owner of the Warriors and the head coach of the Warriors.

When Richard announced that he would become the head coach of the team, Dicruff, like most Warriors fans, was not angry and dissatisfied! In that game against the Grizzlies, DiClough and all the Warriors fans booed Richard.

But in that game against the Raptors, DiClough began to notice a change in the team, the Warriors became tactical, tenacious, and like a team......

Only then did DiClough realize that it seemed that Richard Cohan was doing a good job? At least much better than Dave Cowens!

Then when it came to the game against the Lakers, DiClough began to cheer for the team, and he began to feel that the Warriors led by Richard were a Warrior who was making rapid progress! Compared with the previous warriors, such warriors have hope and a future!

DiClough walked over to Richard's coffee table, and the sound of footsteps drew Richard's attention to DiCrow, who knew that the middle-aged white man with a big beard was a reporter for the San Jose Mercury News and a reporter for the Warriors.

"Hello, Mr. Richard Cohan." DiClough smiled and said hello, "Can I sit here?" ”

"Absolutely, Mr. Reporter." Richard smiled helplessly, put away the piece of paper on which he was writing and drawing, and said, "What? Are you going to interview me at such a late hour? ”

Dicroiff smiled silently, "Of course not, I just wanted to see why you didn't go to sleep." ”

"Oh? Didn't you go to sleep too? Richard asked rhetorically.

Declan shook his head: "I have to write a press release, and you don't need to, Mr. Cohan. ”

Richard smiled, he stopped talking, he picked up his coffee cup, took a few sips, and prepared to leave.

DiClough hurriedly said: "You must be worried that the team has not been able to win, right?" ”

Richard was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm so worried, what, as a reporter, what do you think about the Warriors not being able to win?" Richard became interested, and he sat back down and looked at Dicklof.

Dikraugh thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Cohan, I actually have two identities, one is a fan of the Warriors and the other is a reporter. As a fan, I don't think the Warriors can win because we're not very lucky, and maybe when we face a certain opponent at a certain time, the win will come naturally. ”

"Then why do you think we lost to the Lakers? The team played the best game in that game. Richard thought for a moment and asked.

"Losing to the Lakers, it's very simple, the difference in strength is too big, although in that game, whether it was Michael Reed's play, or your on-the-spot command did your best, but our defense was too poor, and we played an offensive game that was on par with the Lakers, but on the defensive end, we couldn't defend against the Lakers at all, we couldn't prevent it at all!"

"Defensive?"

"Yes, defense, I have to say, Mr. Richard, your tactics are great, but in this era, your tactics are not the best, maybe your emphasis on speed can make the team play the most beautiful and efficient offense, but you forgot one sentence, that is, only defense can win championships! In the final analysis, this era is still an era of defense, and a team without defense will never go far. ”

DiClough talked a lot, but Richard was a little moved by Dicroeuf's words, he felt that DiClough was right, maybe it was indeed because he emphasized speed too much, too much emphasis on offense.

In the final analysis, before the league has introduced a "no-hand-check" defensive policy, the NBA is still a defensive league, whether it is the previous Bulls dynasty or the upcoming Lakers dynasty, they rely on superstar offense, rely on overall defense, lead offense with defense, and win games with offense, perhaps because of this last point, it will give Richard the illusion that offense is the most important thing, right?

"So you think the Warriors need to defend?" Richard looked at DiClough again, and it seemed that the bearded reporter knew a lot.

"Of course, I've been watching football since the Chamberlain era, although I was very young at that time, but I always knew that there was never a shortage of offensive teams in the league, but the only offensive team that won the championship was the Lakers, the Lakers during the showtime period!" DiClough slapped the table and shouted with great certainty.

Richard nodded, but then he turned his head around to look, because Dicklouff had just made too much noise, and it was in the café!

But looking around, it seems that there are only the two of them in the entire café, after all, it is already late at night.

Yes, it was late at night, it was time to go to bed, and Richard was greatly inspired by Dicklaw's words, and he stood up: "Thank you, Mr. Reporter, for reminding me. ”

DiClough laughed: "Haha, Mr. Cohan, there's nothing to thank, I'm a fan of the Warriors, I just want to see the Warriors recreate the glory of the Chamberlain era, I hope I can!" ”

He added: "Don't worry, victory will come!" ”

Victory will come, and Richard is convinced that this is not only the first victory of his coaching career, but more importantly, his complete victory in the NBA!
