Chapter 585

Rise to dignity

Now the United States time has slowly entered May, in this country that is considered to be a paradise by many people, it has been quite melancholy recently, the war that makes this country extremely depressed is still continuing, and the current United States, many times are full of a kind of impetuousness, or anxiety, because of the war, no one will be in a good mood to face anything, in such an environment, in fact, it is also deeply affected, especially in the cruel playoff environment, and the time is now n

The first round of the playoffs is over

Half of all the teams that have made the playoffs have gone home, and almost every manager of these teams that have been eliminated early is under pressure from fans and team management. ,!

Inevitably, at the first time of elimination, under the personal intervention of Pistons general manager Dumas, the team's head coach, Carlisle was dismissed, in addition to the Pistons, the fastest dismissed head coach, Pacers general manager and head coach Larry Bird was also eliminated by the Grizzlies at the same time with a score of 1-4, the n

After Larry Bird's statement, almost everyone knew that the head coach and general manager of the Pacers was ready to be a full-time general manager, except for these two head coaches who resigned under pressure so soon. Other head coaches such as the Timberwolves' head coach George Karl or the Nets' head coach Byron Scott are on the verge of leaving class under the influence of the media and fans, especially the Minnesota Timberwolves head coach George Karl, the legendary coach who only became the Timberwolves last year, has completely smashed his brand after this season, not to mention continuing Zhuang Fei's glory this season, even his predecessor Van Gundy is not as good, in this case, How can those Timberwolves fans who have left their anger spare him, it can be said that after the Timberwolves were successfully robbed by the Lakers 3-4 at home, the Timberwolves fans surrounded the target center, just like these people besieged Van Gundy last season, but what is different this year is that George Carr's approach is completely different from Van Gundy.

Van Gundy, who was besieged by fans last season, did not even return home after the game, and flew away from Minnesota directly, which can be said to have completely chosen a very cowardly path, and even now, there are many Timberwolves fans and even other fans or the media who express incomprehension and indignation and even ridicule for Van Gundy's escape after the game last season. It's just that even in the face of all this ridicule, Van Gundy just didn't come out and say a word, and it's clear that those crazy Timberwolves fans last year scared him, otherwise the professional coach would not have done such an unprofessional thing.

Only this time, the current head coach of the Timberwolves, George Karl, has not done what Van Gundy did last season, and the current head coach of the Timberwolves made a move that shocked the league to almost all the fans gathered outside the target center after the game and after attending all the media conferences

A and the head coach of the Dream Five team, who is highly respected in the American basketball world, actually walked out of the door of the arena alone, and kept bowing in the face of all the Timberwolves fans who were glaring at him, Obviously, this is the head coach of the Timberwolves is expressing his apologies to all Timberwolves fans, although this n

A's famous coach didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he also suppressed the group of menacing Timberwolves fans, George Karl's behavior has never appeared in the history of the Timberwolves, even in N

A is probably also unique in history, for most n

For the head coach of A, becoming the head coach of a team is just a career choice for them, and there are successes or failures in the choice of any career, and in the face of such success or failure, these people do not think that it is their own mistakes or mistakes, so many times, n

Coach A will find all kinds of reasons when facing doubts, in this case, Timberwolves fans just want to get an explanation, and after getting an explanation, they are ready to put pressure on the owner to directly fire the team's head coach.

It's just that what makes these Timberwolves fans speechless is that the head coach of the team didn't explain at all, nor did he make excuses, but directly took responsibility, such a bowing behavior is naturally not to shirk responsibility, it is obvious that he is ready to bear all the blame alone, but for Carl's unexpected shoulder picking behavior, these Timberwolves fans really can't adapt for a while, in this case, it wasn't until George Carl left, these Timberwolves fans woke up from surprise and dazedness, just at this timeThere is no way for these fans to besiege George Karl now.

It's just that after George Carr's bow time happened, the head coach of the Timberwolves almost made the front page headlines of all American media the next day, which is a big deal, and it is somewhat curious for a famous head coach to do such a good thing.

Of course, the media is now in a frenzy of reporting, and for the Minnesota fans involved, after a day, they have to change what they have to do, whether they protest to the club or protest to the club, and they are still asking the club to fire the team's head coach, this is an extremely normal result, for these angry Timberwolves fans, it is impossible for them to say that George Karl forgave him because of his attitude of admitting mistakes and taking responsibility, it is impossible, They want results for the team, and the sooner the better. In such a case, in n

After the first round of the playoffs, Minnesota has almost become another media spotlight, and there is no shortage of news material in this place

n of the season

A is definitely the most unsuccessful season of George Carr's career, for coming to this former championship team, although he did not think that he could lead the team to the finals in the first season, and then win the championship again, but there are still some other lofty goals, although there is no way to win the championship or enter the finals, but at least it can't be worse than what Van Gundy did last season, right? In such anticipation, George Karl signed a coaching contract with Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor with great anticipation, and also officially joined the Timberwolves.

It's just that some things that happened after joining the Timberwolves caught George Karl, who was looking forward to this season or this year's career, a little unprepared, and led the Dream Five team to a crushing defeat to Indianapolis in the offseason, and then immediately after that

A regular season suffered Waterloo, so that the team's first win rate in the regular season in the last four years did not reach more than 50, if calculated by the winning rate, you can add another year, in the 1998-1999 season Zhuang Fei led the Timberwolves has a win rate of more than 80, although because of the fact that there were only 50 games in the regular season that year, it can be said that the Timberwolves' record that year is still 49-33 this year, in this case, George Karl almost felt that he couldn't hold his head up in the face of Timberwolves fans, of course, there are many, many reasons for the team's problems, such as the previous head coach Van Gundy left too many messes, and the thoughts left are too profound, it will take a long time to change the tactical culture of this team, and in this case, he has encountered the crazy rampage of the five teams this season, under the pressure of the five teams with more than 60 wins, This season, almost all teams have suffered a lot of defeats in the face of these five teams, which also makes the winning rate of other teams drop sharply except for these five teams, if it is an average team, it doesn't matter if the winning rate plummets, as long as the ranking does not fall, but in a team like the Timberwolves, no one will listen to you at all when you have no way to win, which can be said to be the reason why he has not been able to fully control the team and establish a new team system.

It's just that it's impossible for him to say these reasons to other people, because these are excuses, for him, he doesn't need these excuses, too many excuses can only be his own incompetence, as n

A now has a number of famous coaches, George Karl still has this bit of self-esteem, which is also the difference between him and Van Gundy, he would rather bow and apologize to all Timberwolves fans than say a word of explanation.

"Looks like I'm here

George Karl looked out from the window of his office, although yesterday's game was over, but the fans who came to the team's administrative building to demonstrate were almost invisible, according to George Carl's conservative estimates, there should be more than 10,000 people, seeing these crowds of excited Timberwolves fans who almost everyone was holding a poster of that Chinese, at this time this n

A Marshal's mood was extremely complicated, originally he had the intention of challenging Zhuang Fei before coming here, but now he found that wanting to challenge that Chinese in Minnesota is almost a dream-like thing, unless God comes, otherwise, the miracle created by that Chinese here cannot be replicated at all.

George Carl wants to resign, although he himself is not very willing to this team that he has devoted himself to for a year, but for his own dignity, he can't be cheeky and wait for the team to fire him, in this case, the team fires him is almost irreversible, at this time he didn't have much time to think about it, looked at the fans outside the window, and after thinking about his current situation, the head coach of the Timberwolves resolutely left his office, and then walked towards the general manager office of the team. It's just that what the Timberwolves head coach didn't expect was that what was waiting for him in the team's general manager's office was not what he imagined

"Kevin? What did you say? You won't allow me to resign? How is this possible, you want to humiliate me? ”

When George Karl submitted his resignation application in the office of the team's general manager McHale, he encountered something that made him extremely uncomfortable and shocked, because the team's general manager did not let him resign at all, and directly tore his resignation letter to shreds, George Karl really did not want to be fired by the Timberwolves, which was unacceptable for this extremely good-looking coach, so he could even give up tens of millions of dollars in termination money and wanted to resign himself. Just looking at the resignation letter torn to shreds by McHale, the head coach of the Timberwolves was really angry this time, and it was obvious that in the heart of the famous coach, the Timberwolves were probably ready to humiliate him. When I thought of this, the face of this famous handsome man almost turned into a pig's liver sè, which was extremely ugly. If he was really humiliated by the Timberwolves' use of the dismissal, he would not have a face in n

A went on to mix it up.

"George, I think you should think too much" McHale glanced at the head coach of the team in front of him and was a little speechless, although he was not a gentleman, but he was not a villain, some n

He still knows the unspoken rule of A, like George Karl, who would rather not terminate the contract for the sake of face, although in N

A doesn't appear much, but it's not nothing, and this is also the case when the famous coach left the Bucks, which is also considered N

One of the unspoken rules of a. Seeing the head coach's expression, McHale naturally knew what the head coach was thinking, in fact, he was really ready to accept the head coach's resignation not long ago, especially after the team lost to the Lakers at home, but after receiving a call from Zhuang Fei, the general manager also gave up the idea, and finally persuaded Glenn Taylor to give the head coach another chance, for Glenn Taylor, he really didn't want to hire a head coach who was also a big name and could also suppress the Timberwolves. Because there are so few such coaches, even if there are, I am afraid they are not willing to come here.

"What do you mean? The team didn't think about firing me? George Carr was naturally not a fool, and quickly saw something on McHale's face, so he asked tentatively.

"That's right, although your performance this season has been very disappointing, but we have no intention of firing you, we also hope that you can really implant your thoughts into this team" finally McHale looked at George Karl seriously and said, and after McHale finished speaking, George Karl almost fell into ecstasy, he really didn't want to leave this team, because this team is the most perfect team he has coached in his career anyway, and it is only for many other reasons that this team will be reincarnated this seasonWith a little more time, he has a strong sense of confidence that he can revive this team.

"Just the fans?" After the ecstasy, George Karl thought about those crazy Timberwolves fans, and the head coach's heart sank again.

"You don't have to worry about the fans, we already have a solution" McHale glanced at George Karl and said, if the fans' affairs are not resolved, team owner Glenn Taylor will not agree to McHale's request to keep George Karl.

"A solution has been found?" Looking at the general manager of the Timberwolves in front of him, George Carr was stunned, there are not many people who can calm down these crazy Timberwolves fans, and it is obvious that at least no one in Minnesota can do it now.

"How rare is it?" Thinking of that Chinese, George Carr's heart became complicated again. (To be continued.)
