You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 872

Everyone thought that even if the Raptors couldn't beat the 76ers, they would cause some trouble, at least, they would die standing up.

Coach Casey, who has always been tolerant, was "dominant" for a while in this matter, insisting on using the results to convince people "I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

As good as Casey is to players, he is as good to opponents.

From a player's point of view, if there is a coach who is willing to give you a chance, encourages you as much as possible when you play badly, cares about you, loves you, trains reasonably, and never beats or scolds you, don't you like him?

Casey is popular.

But he should never put the coaching part on the playoffs.

Against his team, Jay Wright doesn't have to think about it. As long as he changes his style of play, Casey will draw another lineup to chase the 76ers.

He has no other idea but to run after you.

This style of play is a bit like chopping the ball in table tennis.

Stand by and wait for your opponent to make a mistake.

But table tennis is a non-physical confrontation event.

Physical confrontation and non-physical confrontation are very important for competitive sports.

Casey has no personal flexibility at all, just let the players follow.

It can be said to be irresponsible, so as long as the 76ers play their own things well and press the Raptors' head with the pressure of core players, they can establish a victory.

In the first game, the Raptors just lost.

Like the Pacers, Lowry had some encouraging words: "Everyone thinks we're doomed, but Wish knows me. We're from the same city. We're both competitive. He knows I don't want to lose no matter what."

He really didn't want to lose, but the feeling didn't come just as he said it.

It is impossible for the Raptors to suddenly gain strength. They are not as strong as the 76ers, so they should work harder on tactics.

It's a pity that Coach Casey is the coach who doesn't like to work hard on tactics in the league.

His way of coaching always has a peculiar smell.

Chinese golf critics vividly compare him to Song Xianggong. He treats people with benevolence and righteousness, and expects everyone to be as honest as him, to play openly, and not to punish those who are empty-headed. Is this realistic?

If NBA coaches are just about being good, then there are many people who are qualified to coach.

Casey is indeed a master of affinity, but his coaching style is hurting the Raptors.

Because the teams that can reach the playoffs have strengths, if the coaching staff does not know how to adapt, no matter how strong the players are, they will be targeted, and there are only a few superstars in the league who cannot be countermeasures.

Game2, Game3, Game4.

In the four semifinals between the 76ers and the Raptors, the Raptors have little hope of a comeback.

They lose in the same way every game, and instead of summing up after the game, Casey repeats over and over again: "The 76ers are a very strong opponent."

He kept repeating that sentence until the Raptors were swept.

Van Gundy said something conscientious: "If the opportunity comes out and the player fails to make a shot, we can say that it is God's will; if the opponent changes the strategy casually and beats you at a loss, and this is the case for four consecutive games, you lose the series because of no countermeasure, then can we say that the coaching staff did not complete the work they should have done?"

Casey received endless criticism.

Lowry and DeRozan were so terrible in the semifinals that Casey's ineffective coaching method was ignored by many people.

Wei Xia's evaluation of Casey surprised many people: "Coach Casey's coaching method reminds me of Phil Jackson. They can deal with all the changes on the field with a calm mood. I don't know why there are so many voices criticizing Coach Casey. Did he do it wrong? Phil has built three dynasties in this way. Maybe, Coach Casey is just still looking for his MJ and Kobe."

At the beginning, everyone only said that Wei Xia came out to defend his opponent to make his victory look more glamorous.

Slowly, everyone reflected.

Is he disgusting Casey, or is he black Jackson?
Can Casey's inaction, which has been complained the most by people, be related to the Zen master?
This is really wronging Master Zen. Also sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Jackson will not see his opponent changing his lineup like an idiot and chasing after him.

Jackson, like Casey, likes to let the players make their own decisions.

But there is still a difference.

If the player can't handle it, Casey will just accept his fate, and Zen Master will call a timeout to continue to adjust.

Jackson's resilience is one of the best.

Wei Xia said that is naturally a black Zen master from the heart, but many people have not tasted it.

Everyone thought he was disgusting Casey, but that was not his purpose.

Coach Casey's nausea is at most the additional damage of his black Zen master.

For this, he must solemnly apologize in his heart.

He believed that his remarks would reach Zen master's ears, and he knew that the other party would be a little unhappy, but now that he was no longer playing under Jackson, the other party should have no time to talk to him.

Since Jackson took over the Knicks for a season, all kinds of ups and downs, the Knicks are already preparing for the next season, they did not make the playoffs, his hand-picked head coach Derek Fisher, in addition to making news with the wives and ex-wives of the players under his command, the biggest achievement is to call a timeout and scribble on the tactical board with a colored pen.

Because his tactics were drawn too abstractly, it was difficult for the players to execute, so it was basically for Anthony to play singles in the last few seconds.

Anthony complained incessantly, let this group of ineffective bastards throw the blame away, let him take the blame, let it go, and don't know how to allow a few more seconds.

Does he have to give time to the forward swing of his tentative jumper?If you don't give him a trump card, can you shoot the ball without hitting the iron again and again?

Wei Xia is not surprised that the Knicks have what they are today.

Phil Jackson, like Michael Jordan, is a pretentious, arrogant guy who thinks he's the ultimate coach/player and can equally be successful in front office work.

As the leader of the Hornets, everyone has seen the achievements Jordan has made over the years.He has only one merit, and he is especially generous when giving garbage contracts.

Everyone who played for Jordan should be happy about it.

He gave such a generous contract to rubbish, if one day he became a superstar, what would he not give?As long as it is within the scope of the rules, he has nothing to afford.

But the Bobcats will have a superstar, which is even lower than the probability that Jordan will sell the team and come back on the spot to blow Weixia.

Jackson has always had a godfather dream, he is eager to completely master a team like Auerbach, Pat Riley, and Popovich.

Now he's getting his chance, but doing so-so.

His supporters can argue that a year isn't enough time to bring the Knicks back to life, but Wechat would bet anyone that Jackson wouldn't make it.

The simplest point is that he has no knowledge of people.

During Weixia's rookie season, Jackson had just returned to the Lakers and had the right to sign in. Then what did he do?
Just for his signings at the time, Wei Xia can conclude that he will never be able to catch up with Jerry Krause in this regard.

Of course, the specific results need to be told by the facts. No matter how much he speculates, it is only his personal opinion on Jackson, which cannot be counted.

However, the 76ers eliminated the Raptors and defeated their opponents by sweeping two consecutive series. It can be said that it is very easy to advance to the conference finals.

Likewise, the Cavaliers beat the Eagles without much effort.

It was also a sweep.

The strength of the 76ers and Cavaliers made other teams in the East desperate.

In this way, the 76ers and Cavaliers successfully joined the Eastern Conference finals.

In the West, the Warriors swept the Rockets and Trail Blazers consecutively without Curry playing, and easily reached the Western Conference Finals.

The Thunder and the Spurs were tied in four games, and as expected fell into a bitter battle.

Wei Xia was indifferent to their duel.

At the same time, he doesn't pay much attention to the Cavaliers.

Because he knows that if the 76ers really aim for three consecutive championships, then the real opponent is only the Warriors.

Neither the Thunder nor the Spurs can pass the Warriors' level, and under normal circumstances, the Cavaliers can't pass the 76ers' level.

Wei Xia had enough reasons to remain confident, but at the same time, the development of the old days made him fearful.

The Celtics, who lost 68 games in the regular season, confidently reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Everyone believes that they will beat the Knicks and restore the glory of the Bill Russell era.

But Wei Xia knew what was waiting for Havlicek.

What worries him even more is that what happened to Havlicek bounces back on him in reality.

What is certain is that if he suffers a dislocated shoulder like Havlicek, even if the 76ers can get through and beat the Cavaliers, they will definitely not be the Warriors' opponents.

To beat the Warriors, he has to be healthy.

His worries are accompanied by his experience in the old days.

"Hong Duo, don't be so sad, the sky won't fall!"

When Wei Xia heard it, Havlicek's pizza face collapsed: "Who said that? We couldn't even make the playoffs a few years ago. At that time, I really felt that the sky was going to collapse."

Wei Xia couldn't share this secret with others. At this moment, he could only make fun of it and joke about it.
