Chapter 190: Spo's helplessness
Su Chen sat on the sidelines.
Instead of standing on the sidelines and watching nervously like Eric Spoelstra, he sat in a chair.
Su Chen, who was sitting on the bench, flipped through the information in his hand, and at the same time took a sip of the drink handed over by the staff.
However, Su Chen didn't drink the sponsor's sports drink, it was unpleasant.
He's not a player, and he doesn't care so much.
Milosevic walked over, glanced at the information in Su Chen's hand, and found that it was the basic information of some Heat players.
Isn't this a long time overdue?
Su Chen can't be that he hasn't seen it yet, right?
But think about Su Chen, as the head coach of the championship, his business ability should be top-notch, not like this.
Thinking about it, Su Chen should be a little nervous.
Like when the coach is nervous, he likes to make some chewing gum, drink water or find something to turn over like Su Chen.
There is nothing to say, although Su Chen has already won the championship honor, he is also in power in the Timberwolves.
But after all, Su Chen is still a relatively young young marshal.
However, the current Su Chen is really not rummaging through the information because he is nervous.
He has done his homework early in the past few days for these players of the Heat, and now his status is not so amateurish.
And even if he doesn't do his homework, as a traverser, Su Chen actually has a general understanding of these players in the Heat.
It's just that he is looking through the information, combined with the atmosphere of the scene, to recall who of the Heat players is more pulled.
The comparison between Eric Spoelstra and Su Chen was also captured by the camera.
Eric Spoelstra stood on the sidelines and watched the players on the field, while Su Chen sat drinking water and flipping through the data.
It's an interesting comparison.
This contrast also appears on the big screen.
"Su Chen is still flipping through the information now, it can't be that he is playing 2K simulation games these days."
Barkley laughed when he saw it.
"I think Su Chen is more relaxed than last season, and Coach Spo hasn't changed much from last season."
Johnson said.
Johnson's remarks also reminded people of some images of last season's finals.
At that time, it was also Su Chen and Eric Spoelstra who were the coaches of the two sides.
It's just that this season, both of them are quite different from last season.
The Heat under Eric Spoelstra has been a season of contradictions this season, and the Heat's role players have slipped one by one.
Not only a role player, Wade has played frequently with injuries in previous seasons, and Wade is still playing with injuries this season, but his decline in form is also obvious.
If Wade was still a superstar before, with Wade's current state, his strength is probably between an All-Star and an ordinary superstar.
Even, in the Eastern Conference Finals, Wade's expressiveness was compared to Paul George.
As for Bosh, throughout his career with the Heat's Big Three, he has been hacked into a board.
If he wants to play a role, he naturally has to use his low post back to the Raptors, but with James holding the ball, he often pulls away from the outside.
After not using these techniques for so many years, Bosh is still a little rusty to use them now.
If James wants to run this season, then Bosh can pick up his back through the offseason.
The current Heat is no longer the Heat of last season except for James or the same James.
The Heat, led by Eric Spoelstra, have dropped a lot from last season.
Don't look at the 4-2 elimination of the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, it looks like it is better than last season and the Pacers tied seven, but in fact, the Pacers have slipped more.
Last season's Hibbert turned the river on the inside, this season's Hibbert became a 50 center, and the Heat played six games for the George-led Pacers, which really declined.
Of course, Eric Spoelstra's opponent, Su Chen, the team he led was directly changed.
From last season's gorgeous offense and defensive matching, the Warriors have become a Timberwolves with strong defense and weak offense.
Eric Spoelstra, who stood on the sidelines, knew exactly what kind of team the Timberwolves were this season.
Eric Spoelstra couldn't help but glance at Su Chen in the Timberwolves camp.
"You're good at offense and defense, let me see you're different."
Eric Spoelstra also had a fierce fighting intent in his eyes.
Last season, the Warriors who led the Heat Big Three were won by Su Chen, which made Eric Spoelstra care about this throughout the offseason.
Originally, Eric Spoelstra wanted to study the Warriors led by Su Chen in the offseason.
But the warrior studied it, but Su Chen ran away.
After Su Chen ran to the Timberwolves, Eric Spoelstra didn't feel the need to study Su Chen.
He asked his teacher Riley's opinion at the time, and Riley also told him that Su Chen didn't need to think about him much when he arrived at the Timberwolves.
Eric Spoelstra felt a little disappointed that he couldn't get back what he lost from Su Chen with his own hands, but he didn't think much about it, and focused more on studying other opponents this season.
The Heat are paddling in the regular season, and it's not just the Big Three that need to take extra rounds to prepare for the playoffs.
At the same time, for the Heat's coaching staff, it also needs to work harder to do data research on those mainstream competitors.
After all, for the Heat, if they can't win the championship this season, the Heat team will be broken up.
James directly refused to talk about the contract extension, and if he can't win the championship, it is not certain whether James can still be in the Heat.
The Heat team is built according to James, and if James runs, then the Heat's lineup will become a bunch of auxiliaries.
But without studying Su Chen, Su Chen reached the finals again, which made Eric Spoelstra feel very helpless.
Nowadays, most of the Heat's research on the Timberwolves is still stuck on data.
From the data, it can be shown that the current Timberwolves are a team that is more defensive than offensive, and the key to whether they can win depends very much on his defense.
The two cores that the Timberwolves have established since the regular season, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler, are not very efficient offensively, and the other Timberwolves players do not have superstar-level players.
In other words, including the two young players of the Timberwolves, the entire Timberwolves do not really have a player who is considered a superstar.
But Eric Spoelstra also analyzed the reason why the Timberwolves can advance to the Finals.
Many people in the outside world who are not optimistic about the Timberwolves say that the Timberwolves have been in the Finals all the way.
The Trail Blazers are too weak, the Warriors are too familiar, and the Spurs are too old.
Preconception is a mountain, and this statement is true.
Those who were prejudiced against the Timberwolves or Su Chen from the beginning, even if Su Chen and his Timberwolves won the game, they would find one reason or another.
But Eric Spoelstra doesn't think like these guys.
Now Eric Spoelstra has a very high respect for Su Chen and a strong fighting spirit.
Even Eric Spoelstra is a person who has confidence in himself, and the Warriors' lineup may not fail to make it to the Finals if he studies it carefully.
But this Timberwolves, Eric Spoelstra really doesn't have much confidence.
Maybe the young man named Butler will be a little more mature, and the young man named Giannis Antetokounmpo will be able to grow again, and he is still confident that these two will really grow.
But Butler is only in the third grade.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a rookie, and he didn't make the lottery picks of major managers before the draft, but was forcibly selected by Su Chen in the front position.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's talent isn't that high either.
But after an offseason, Giannis Antetokounmpo has seen a noticeable increase in his strength and skills.
And the strength shown by Giannis Antetokounmpo at the beginning is still relatively immature.
However, after Su Chen signed in with the ability value fixed, Giannis Antetokounmpo's strength has really improved significantly.
However, in the eyes of Eric Spoelstra, Giannis Antetokounmpo's growth rate is simply amazing.
And this time.
The race is about to begin.
Su Chen got up from the bench and walked towards Eric Spoelstra.
Eric Spoelstra was still thinking about things, reacted a little slowly, and hurriedly walked over after being reminded by the assistant coach.
"Coach Spo thought about it a lot."
Su Chen looked at Eric Spoelstra and couldn't help but smile.
"You should be the same."
Eric Spoelstra knew that Su Chen had seen his movements just now.
But for Su Chen's actions just now, Eric Spoelstra also saw it in his eyes and replied to Su Chen.
The two are still rivals, and Eric Spoelstra has not answered much, and he will now have to focus on the game.
The starters of both sides also walked into the middle of the field at this time.
Timberwolves starting lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Lore Deng (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)
Heat starting lineup: Chris Bosh (C), Rashard Lewis (PF), LeBron James (SF), Dwyane Wade (SG), Mario Champmos (PG)
As for the Timberwolves, they continued the most commonly used starting lineup before.
Two young Timberwolves main attackers, as well as three All-Star-caliber players.
Although Ibaka has not been an All-Star, Ibaka has also averaged 15.1 points + 8.8 rebounds per game.
At the same time, he continued to enter the defense for a while and won the block king, such a player did not enter the All-Star but also stepped into the All-Star threshold.
Roy Hibbert was also named an All-Star this season, and his All-Star stats for this season are 10.8 points and 6.6 rebounds.
It's not just that the stats aren't an All-Star, after all, some players don't show how much they help the team with their stats.
But in fact, Roy Hibbert is not in that ranks, and even his data does not reflect his damage to the team.
He dropped the rim and rebounds on the inside, while also taking up space on the team.
Defensive All-Star center, but unguardable.
There is also Tyson Chandler, who was selected as an All-Star in previous seasons, and he was at the level of 10+10 that season.
He is a little bit of a data that doesn't reflect his role, but in fact, it's not much stronger than data, and it's relatively limited.
As an all-star, the data is somewhat unattainable.
Ibaka is obviously more qualified than these two.
But the Thunder already have two MVP-caliber players, Westbrook and Durant are All-Star regulars, so the Thunder are not a super team that can't afford to give them three All-Star selections.
Later, when Ibaka left the Thunder, he had already played closed, and Ibaka naturally failed to be selected as an All-Star.
But at the peak of Ibaka, the all-star level is still not exaggerated.
The Timberwolves' starting lineup is actually a bit like a five-star lineup.
But there are no high-level star players, no superstar players, a bunch of low-profile All-Stars.
Lore Deng is a low-level All-Star, and Iguodala has the strength, but it is not a high-level All-Star level.
Although Ibaka has All-Star strength, he is still a low-profile All-Star.
Butler, a third-year grader, probably has the strength of an average All-Star.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is still a bit immature right now, despite training in the offseason and a lot of ball development in the regular season.
Even with the addition of the ability value fixed at the level of 80% of the peak, Giannis Antetokounmpo's own strength is still a little short of the peak, and 80% of the attributes have not really played 80% of the role.
At the same time, as a rookie, even if he has experienced a lot of ball training, he still lacks experience compared to those old fritters.
However, coupled with the [Striker Bond], it is said that it is the strength of the five All-Star starters, but there is no exaggeration.
For this lineup, Su Chen is still very confident.
The source of this confidence is not only his system ability and player strength, but also the current lineup problem of the Heat.
Last season, Haslem was able to play as the team's starting center, making the Heat look like a team with an interior line.
In any case, the inside combination of Haslem and Bosh is still somewhat deterrent.
However, as Haslem's age has increased further, Haslem is no longer capable of starting the team.
Eric Spoelstra used a small lineup, but this small lineup was forced, not what he wanted to use.
In addition to Haslem, the power forward position could have been on Battier, but Battier has slipped too much now.
This left Eric Spoelstra with Lewis as the starting power forward.
Lewis has spent his entire career leaning toward projection rather than a strong power forward role, which will be a challenge for the Heat's interior defense.
The inside rim combination of Lewis and Bosh looks like noodles and has little deterrent effect.
