One of the biggest characteristics of Rivers as a coach is that he implements the plan according to his own design, and he has a lot of authority over the players, and in Rivers' hands, the players' self-regulation definitely accounts for most of it, but Rivers is not a very adventurous coach, and it can also be said that the ability to adjust on the spot is very lacking in change.

If a basketball coach is like a professional chef, Rivers is the kind of super chef who if you give him some decent ingredients, he will make you a delicious dish, and if you give him some top ingredients, he will make you a top delicious super chef, but you can't ask him to turn decay into magic.

On Rivers' team, if you're a talented player, with a self-motivated mindset and talent for the team, and most importantly if you fit into the system that he's designing, then you're a star under him, a superstar for the team.

For example, Rondo is a star created by Rivers himself, but after leaving that system, although Rondo's statistics are also bright from time to time, there is too much difference between his performance with the Celtics...... Maybe this kind of performance has a lot to do with his teammates, but more I am afraid that Rondo's shortcomings are just covered by the system, and his strengths are conducive to the team's progress.

In this game, Rivers miscalculated many people and things, his system was targeted but there was no better way, and Maddie and Houston collectively performed poorly, and this game was lost without surprise.

The Wizards, on the other hand, blossomed more, with five players scoring double-doubles, 15 more rebounds than the Magic, and they determined their absolute superiority in the fourth quarter.

At the post-game press conference, Rivers took Maddie and Ewing to attend, and first took the initiative to take the loss of this game, and the reasons were very sufficient, the seven big battles in the last round led to his lack of preparation for this game, but he did not say anything about the failure of his side due to physical strength and other reasons.

Collins and Jordan, Gong Feng attended, and when asked whether the offense at the opening was arranged by the coach, Collins stopped Gong Feng who wanted to answer, and just said to reporters: "This is the team's secret, it is related to the outcome of the future game, and I will not advise!" ”

This made someone who had pricked up his ears to listen to be greatly depressed.

Gong Feng also behaved very perfunctory, just very calmly showed what a winner should look like, there was no pride, and he didn't say anything too humble, just said that he had studied the magic team for a long time.

After the game, when Kwamei asked why Gong Feng behaved like this, Gong Feng replied very depressedly: "I was too prepared for this game, just like the performance at the beginning, I prepared a lot of ideas, but after I came on the court in the third quarter, I found that my preparation was redundant, and I didn't even exert my strength, what kind of expression do you think I can have?" ”

Kwamei just clutched her chest and kept retreating, feeling like she was being hurt by tons, and this injury was continuous, "You said you had a lot of ideas that you didn't rush to do?" Watching your opponent not perform as well as you expected and feeling very disappointed? ”

Looking at Gong Feng's nod with a depressed expression, Kwamei covered her head helplessly, patted Gong Feng's shoulder very speechlessly, didn't say anything more, and turned away...... They are all players, they are still the same age, and they are all geniuses in the NBA, but why is the gap between people so big?

Gong Feng couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly after thinking about Kwamei's performance, his own thoughts should be considered by the coach, he just needs to do it according to the coach's arrangement, why think about anything else?

The words he just said to Kwamei would not necessarily cause much turmoil if it spread all over the world, and a reputation of arrogance would definitely be indispensable.

But what Gong Feng didn't expect was that Collins was listening to the conversation between the two people behind the door, but he didn't show up in the end, looking at Gong Feng's wrong state, Collins, as a coach, of course cared very much, and wanted to ask Gong Feng something, but who knew that he heard such a conversation behind the door.

"I said that your kid just won the standard 10+10 data in this game, and there was no excitement at all, it turns out that the root is here! I can't understand the thinking of the top student, hate the opponent is not strong enough? What is it? Are you looking for a beating? Anyway, now I want to **** when I look at Gong Feng! ”

"Forget it, this kid has had his own ideas since he came here, although his own ball quotient and emotional intelligence are very high, and there has been no mess yet, and he always surprises me, for such a player, let's let it go, as for what comforting words needless to say, I believe that I will understand it in my heart!"

……

It is a habit of playoff teams that the winning team will never be the first to change their style of play, unless there is a big problem with that style of play.

Of course, Collins will not change the atmosphere in the team now, as long as the players can maintain their current state through training and practice, not to mention that it is not Collins who is anxious now, but the Magic team, and more importantly, Collins believes in the strength of his team.

There may be accidents in a basketball game, but after four games, everyone who should know will understand that the comparison of strength and the mutual restraint of tactics will eventually lead to the final victory, which is why the series of Black Eight is called a miracle.

The playoffs have gone from best-of-five to best-of-seven, and miracles have become more and more attention-grabbing, and such playoffs are one of the reasons why the NBA is so successful and one of the reasons why the NBA is not as popular as the World Cup and the Champions League.

Because in the World Cup and the Champions League, although it is still difficult for the weak team to defeat the strong team, the chance of a miracle is definitely more than in the NBA playoffs.

Maybe the Wizards who stayed the same could still get an easy victory, maybe Rivers found a way to overcome it, and who knows what will happen in the next game?

And what was Rivers thinking about at this time?

In the final finals of the NBA, the game is one game a day, and after the Wizards beat the Magic, it is the second game between the Lakers and the Kings, which is a game that the Kings cannot lose, otherwise they will face the bitter fruit of being 2-0 by the Lakers on their home court.

Facing the Lakers with such results, especially the upcoming two games at the Lakers' home court, the Kings can not think about victory, but to avoid the fate of being swept by themselves.

Fortunately, the Kings themselves are very competitive, although they still let Kobe Bryant and O'Neal team up to score 57 points, but the Kings limited the Lakers' bench very safely, which is also a big change for the Kings.

Collins and his tactical research team watched the video of the game, but did not watch the live broadcast, first, there was no time, and second, the collection of multiple videos could better reflect the specific situation of the Kings and Lakers.

The current scouts of the Wizards have all been spilled, and they are trying their best to collect information about the Lakers, Kings, and especially the Magic, and these people will be collected and sorted out and immediately summarized to Collins according to the priority.

When Corinth gets the material, he will make corresponding tactics based on his own judgment and that of the coaching staff, such as the habits of the opposing team's top stars.

This method was summarized by Collins from Gong Feng, who was the player who dealt with scouts the most after entering the team, especially the use of scouts made Collins feel novel, as if Gong Feng could always find a way to break all the opponent's systems.

Of course, now is not the time to consider the Lakers and Kings, just a general understanding of the two opponents who may be opponents in the Finals, and winning in the Eastern Conference Finals first is a realistic issue for the Wizards to consider now.

The second game between the Wizards and the Magic officially started on the third day, and I believe that Rivers will bring a very different 'surprise' to the Wizards in this game.
