Chapter 339: Head Coach Authority
Xiao Shi did everything he could, he didn't want to ruin Iguodala completely, he just wanted to prove his innocence.
Although the way he suddenly gained strength is a bit strange, and there is even an element of cheating compared to ordinary athletes, this is after all his own strength, and it will not disappear because of the passage of time, which is naturally different from doping.
However, it is very difficult to prove innocence, because people will always take a preconceived position.
Most white and black people can't accept the result of being taught a painful lesson by a yellow person, so they consciously ignore the test result, and instead believe in their bones that Xiao Shi must have taken some kind of high-tech stimulant that cannot be detected.
For such thoughts, Xiao Sao is not ready to correct anything, anyway, this is too much unfair treatment in the world, and there is not much of him.
However, after this game, a lot has changed.
At the very least, the provocateur Iguodala suffered the heaviest blow. Although there are still people who believe that Xiao Xiao has taken stimulants, for Iguodala, whites and blacks are no longer so fond of, and even a little disgusted, they think that Iguodala has smeared them. There were even quite a few media outlets that publicly criticized Iguodala for not being so arrogant before the game, let alone representing the entire black community, because he couldn't represent.
The so-called wall is pushed down by everyone, this is the truth.
Iguodala has been completely crushed into the dust of history by the wheels that have rolled in his way, and the impact on him will be extremely far-reaching, at least leaving a stain on his career. Although time can dilute a qiΔ, the imprint left behind is still a pit after all. Maybe Iguodala will still be able to play great games in the future. even achieved a career, but as a dashing subordinate, this stain will stay with him for life.
For Xiao Shao, beating Iguodala down didn't affect him much. For him, it was nothing more than a key victory to narrow the record with the 76ers. But for Barbara, it was exciting news.
Although the impact in Europe and the United States is very small. After all, in a sense, Europe and the United States are accompanying the losers in this game. But in Asia, it is different, the Asian with black hair and yellow skin who represents the highest temple of basketball in the United States in the territory of the black in the NBA league is the black and strong Iguodala to the ground, and he still defeated it in a physical way, directly defeating the name of the yellow race as weak, and who dares to say that the yellow race is weak in the future can directly use this example to throw it over. Sue them that the yellow race can still beat the black people all over the ground to find their teeth.
For Asia, the victory was so strategic that it was a resounding remark. So, how can they not regard Xiao Xiao as a racial hero?
Naturally, Xiaoshi's popularity in Asia soared again. The commercial value is rising, and many commercial contracts are flying like snowflakes to Barbara's mailbox. Barbara, who had been busy with the entertainment industry, had to come over and get these 'cash incomes' done.
Barbara is busy.
Xiao Xiao is still concentrating on the game, he is not disturbed by anything off the field, and he does not want to be disturbed by anything.
Now is the time to sprint for the playoff standings.
After the victory over the 76ers, the Knicks continued to win streaks and quickly surpassed the seventh-ranked 76ers, and then they quickly attacked for sixth.
At this time, the Big Apple has long been in a revelry. With one good news after another, it came. Knicks fans have long been nervously numb with excitement, and since the arrival of Xiao, the whole team has been reborn from top to bottom. And directly shake off the nightmare of the past. If the Knicks in the past were a team that was not blessed by God, then the current Knicks are simply God's own sons, enjoying all the glory and luck, all difficulties are automatically solved, and they are always creating surprises and miracles.
The people of New York City were in a frenzy, but the two teams in second and third place didn't think so. The Celtics and Magic are looking a little struggling right now, and they don't know if the Knicks will fall in sixth or seventh place. The Knicks are just terrible right now. While both teams are confident of tackling the Knicks in seven games, but... This is destined to be a vicious battle. That guy is simply a mad dog, and now the Knicks are completely a bunch of mad dogs who are not afraid of death under his leadership, and no one wants to be entangled by mad dogs, so they plan to escape this entanglement. As a result, the Celtics began to sprint forward continuously, and they intended to rush into the first place. The Magic, on the other hand, went even further, and they started to mess up, which was a bit shameless, but it was better than beating the Knicks in the playoffs. The so-called dead friends don't die in the poor way, let's let the Atlantans go up to the thunder!
And Atlantans are not stupid, as soon as the Orlanders were bad, they followed closely and began to lose constantly. Anyway, the current situation is that no one wants to run into the Knicks.
All of a sudden, there was chaos in the east, and all kinds of burlesque were staged.
In fact, in the past, only the teams in the second half would think about how to avoid the teams in the first half, after all, everyone wanted to steal the promotion.
But now... Things are completely reversed, and the second and third strong teams in the East are frightened by the teams that were still called fish belly in the first half of the season, and all kinds of tricks and dodges are really a bit of black humor.
The second and third fears are a testament to the strength of the Knicks and the fact that Madison Garden has become a tough nut. It's no longer a place for the away team to get what they want.
It was none other than Xiao Xiao who brought such a earth-shaking change to the Knicks.
But at this time, Xiao Shi ran into a little trouble.
In the Knicks' away win over the Timberwolves, a courtside camera captured a scene from the visiting bench and broadcast it. After D'Antoni finished arranging a strategy, he shook his hand with a cold expression, and then took the tactics board from D'Antoni and redrew a strategy. and changed D'Antoni's substitution policy.
This was not a big deal in the first place, and it has long been accustomed to the Knicks, and Xiao Xiao has long been regarded as the maker of tactics. Although he does not have the title of head coach on him, everyone has already regarded him as a head coach, including D'Antoni.
But. After this scene was played.
It immediately caused a lot of backlash, and the dashing sunspot who had been dormant for a long time was worried that he couldn't find anything to hack and dash. Now that this video has suddenly exploded, isn't this the most powerful point of attack?
As a result, all kinds of rhetoric are still clamoring for the dust.
"Xiao Dash simply thinks of himself as a dictatorial king, he goes too far, and he has no respect for D'Antoni at all. More disrespect for the will of the entire coaching staff. If he continues to swell like this, even the Knicks boss, he won't take it seriously! β
"Xiao gave a very bad example, and I don't think he has more basketball experience than D'Antoni. Maybe he's a good player, but how can he be above the manager's authority? Even a great player like Michael Jordan. You have to follow the manager's arrangement! After all, the manager is focused on the big picture, and as a player, his job is only to execute the coach's tactics. The Knicks really need to teach Xiao Shi a lesson, if he is allowed to continue like this, sooner or later he will become a huge cancer. β
"A player who interferes with the authority of the manager is definitely not a good player, this is the bad guy that any team should get rid of!!"
"The Knicks should have noticed that the Knicks have begun to dominate his entire team, that he is very selfish in taking most of the players, and that he is already squeezing the head coach's authority. If the Knicks want to go one step further. The chic must be cleaned out!! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
All kinds of criticism are clamoring and invective for these criticisms.
Xiao chose to fall on deaf ears, and the Knicks did not respond. As if it had never happened.
But that's when McBrawn stepped up and criticized Xiao as head coach: "Players should know what their task is. Interfering in the tactical level will only make the team worse, and I hope Xiao can understand this truth as much as possible, as a guy who didn't even go to college and only trained professionally in basketball for less than a year, what you should do now is to be humble and study. Instead of holding a tactical board and drawing messy, I don't know what to call tactics. β
The remarks of those so-called experts before can be ignored. But now there's a current NBA head coach who has stepped up to the challenge.
Xiao Xiao could not be silent, and he quickly responded very calmly to reporters: "I know what the player's task is. At the same time, he also knows how to lead the team to a better place. I had learned from Mr. John Wooden how to be a good manager before I became a good player. β
As soon as Xiao Sa's words came out, they once again detonated the remarks of those sunspots.
"That's arrogant! Who does Xiao think he is? Didn't he realize his mistake at all? A good manager? Hum! Doesn't he know how much experience it takes to become a good manager? How long has he been in basketball? β
Michael Jordan didn't dare to say such things about him, he was so arrogant! He had been carried away by the glory in front of him. β
"If the Knicks continue to let him be so arrogant, sooner or later he will be the one who buried the Knicks!!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
These sunspots have been alarmist, have been scaring the Knicks, and have been emphasizing that Xiao Slack will be the one to destroy the Knicks.
However, these words are too naΓ―ve, even ridiculous, for the people of New York City. How could they possibly believe such ridiculous remarks? They know better than anyone why the Knicks are where they are today. Trade off the scorch? Is the whole of New York City crazy? How could they give up the happiness that they had so hard to get?
Shortly after Xiao responded, Donnie Walsh, the general manager of the Knicks, stood in front of reporters and replied with a smile on his face: "This is the atmosphere of our Knicks team, we are very harmonious within the team, there is no clear division of labor, everyone can make the right decision." Of course, he can exercise the power of a manager and I don't think he did anything wrong. D'Antoni doesn't feel offended either, everyone is here to win. As for other issues, they can be selectively ignored. β
Donnie Walsh's words were a little muddy, and he chose to settle down.
However, the mud that he came out with was not enough to calm down the gaffe, but made things more serious.
"Everybody can make the right decisions, doesn't that mean the Knicks' sweeping aunt can also rush up and snatch the head coach's strategy board and then draw on the strategy board that she thinks is good for the team?" Poisonous tongue Bill Simmons very sharply grasped Donnie Walsh's speech disease loophole and attacked: "Oh! I almost forgot that in addition to sweeping the floor, the Nyx's sweeping aunt seems to have a tradition of being molested by the general manager. Is that the case? Mr. Isaiah Thomas who has left the Knicks?? β
In addition to satirizing the current general manager Donny Walsh, Bill Simmons did not forget to take out his predecessor Isaiah Thomas to whip the corpse, when Isaiah Thomas threatened to sweep the aunt but paid tens of millions of dollars in compensation to settle it, and this money was still unpaid by the boss James Dolan.
With Bill Simmons' shot, the league's head coaches stepped up and began to express their opinions.
In an instant, this small thing that could have been scaled down expanded again. Moreover, things seem to have gone off track.
Because, after all, it is about the power struggle between the manager and the big-name players.
