the rest, only noise

Chapter 1095 The Enlightened Coach Zhao
With Lakers fans generally disappointed with Zhao Yuanzheng, Louis has no intention of coming back at all.

Throughout November, Louie reviewed game tape from the '11 Celtics, '86 Knicks and '90 Trail Blazers.

If you want to assign nouns to the offense of these three teams, the Celtics should be "coordinated", the Knicks should be "system", and the Blazers should be "unstoppable".

The Big Three of the Celtics are the most friendly combination of superstars Louie has ever seen.

Under Louie's own control, the Knicks played the N.UCLA system in an orderly manner. The Blazers reached the most perfect state of that lineup in the 1993 playoffs.

With Thomas and Sabonis dominating the ball, Jordan and Barkley providing fire support on the wing and perimeter, respectively, Clifford Robinson can do whatever he wants.

If it weren't for the Knicks to raise the intensity of the game to an unprecedented level in the finals, Riley would definitely be able to use offense to prove his virtue.

But it's still not perfect.

It can be said that the offense of the 93 Trail Blazers is the culmination of basketball history so far, but it is not perfect.

Because no matter how defense-friendly the rules are, the sport is about offense.

When perfect offense and perfect defense collide, who will win?
If the '93 Blazers were the perfect offense, then the Knicks, the perfect defense, won.

But Louis does not admit that the 93 Blazers' offense is perfect.

A perfect offense should have a comprehensive system like the 90 Knicks, and a coordinated personnel mix like the 86 Celtics, and then the effect presented should be "unstoppable" beyond the 93 Trail Blazers.

In mid-December, the Lakers ranked fourth in the West.

The teams ahead of the Lakers are the Clippers, Warriors and Trail Blazers.

Especially for the Clippers, who lost their Dream and Glider, their record has not declined compared to the previous two seasons.

Jeff Van Gundy is approaching his first career Coach of the Year trophy.

And Zhao Yuanzheng bears all the sins.

As long as the Lakers have a problem, it's his problem.

It was his problem that David Robinson got blown up by Sampson, because he didn't tell Robinson what to do to keep from getting blown up.

Pippen's dissatisfaction with Wilson is still his problem, because he has not established Benj as the absolute core.

Dale Ellis often rides on the heads of various core players. The influence in the team is not good, of course it is still his problem.

Cedric Ceballos averaged 17 points per game in limited playing time. Why doesn't such a good player give more opportunities?Coach Zhao?Give me some help, Coach Zhao!

Since December, Zhao Yuanzheng can hear the deafening "We want Leader Lu" from the auditorium every night of the forum's home game.

For this reason, Zhao Yuanzheng wanted to resign several times, but Louis persuaded him to do so.

It can be said that this experience made Zhao Yuanzheng lose his confidence in coaching.

Maybe as Louie said, he's better suited to work behind the scenes.

The time when Zhao Yuanzheng suffered the most severe public opinion persecution was in mid-December, when the Lakers played against the Cavaliers at home.

Since the 1978-79 season, the Cavaliers have not made the playoffs.

We have seen traditional strong teams that have entered the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons, but how many weak teams have been unable to change luck for 15 consecutive seasons?
This is only one season away from the Clippers' shameful record of not making the playoffs in 1977-1992 for 16 consecutive seasons.

Against a team like this, winning is what it should be.

What if you lose?

Unfortunately, the Lakers gave it a chance.

Halftime didn't end, and Wilson retired due to a sprain.

Although the Cavaliers don't have superstars, they have a bunch of chaotic masters who can't be defended against.

The representative figures are Nick Van Exel and Jim Jackson, and they are also nerve knife backups such as Charles Smith and Isaiah Ryder.

But the real star in this game is Kang Chengbiao, the second-round pick from China.

Kang Chengbiao is an international student in the third phase of the Road School. In June this year, he chose to participate in the draft in advance and was selected by the Cavaliers.

He was known for his versatility in college. According to the record, he once started at positions 1-4, but such a four-dimensional image is often eliminated in the professional arena because he can't stay in any position.

But Kang Chengbiao directly locked the three-fourth swing position in the Cavaliers, because he knows how tricky the team's second and third positions are. If he can play the fourth position, he will have more opportunities.As a result, the confrontation in the professional field quickly cost him a lot, he had to work hard to gain weight, and then, on this night, he ushered in a blowout against the Lakers.

As the fourth position, Kang Chengbiao is only 197 centimeters tall, very short, but stout, and has no pressure on AC Green, the ascetic saint.

When Kang Chengbiao shot from the outside, AC chose to ignore it, and the team kept losing points as a result.

Zhao Yuanzheng asked AC to run out to defend, and Kang Chengbiao used his ball-handling skills to play the No. [-] position in college to break through.

When he successfully broke through, Kang Chengbiao seemed to be holding a dynamite bag and wanted to die with the enemy.

He constantly reminded Louie of Jimmy Butler.

Whether it's that ridiculously hard style of play, or that under-pumped mouth.

He said that AC couldn't guard him not because he couldn't defend well, but because the opponent was a virgin so far, maybe he was impotent at all?
He laughed at Pippen for not knowing how to play the game without Travis and Benj.

Pippen then frantically went to guard him, much to the delight of Jim Jackson.

Kang Chengbiao is the biggest uncertain factor on the field.

He's also a key reason why the Cavaliers have a rhythm.

The Lakers ushered in an unexpected defeat under the boos of the audience.

109 is better than 98
The Cavaliers beat the Lakers by 11 points.

Kang Chengbiao, who shined in the forum, played 29 minutes and scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

In the 1994 draft, three Chinese players were selected. Wu Qi had no chance in the Sonics. Liu Yuqing had conflicts with his teammates before the start of the season, and was thrown into the sidelines by the coach because of his weird personality.

Kang Chengbiao was the only one who played it.

At present, he is already an important member of the Cavaliers, averaging 9 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and is an important coordinator on the wing line.

Moreover, among a group of mentally abnormal people, he is simply a representative of positive energy. His tough style of play and crazy personality make him play the role of the atmosphere leader that Sakuragi Flower Road has in Xiangbei.

Maybe the Cavaliers' record of not making the playoffs for years will end with these players?
Maybe, but what Louis needs to do now is to comfort Zhao Yuanzheng.

When Louis passed by, the fans begged: "Coach Lu, please come back, 'Zhao Yuanzhong' has no ability to coach this team!"

Now may not be a good time to laugh, but Louis couldn't hold back when he heard fans call "Zhao Yuanzheng" "Zhao Yuanzhong".

"Everything will be fine, give Coach Zhao a little patience."

With that said, Louis quickly crossed the aisle.

"I'm done, old road!" Zhao Yuanzheng almost hit the door with his head, "I quit! I can't do it!"

Strictly speaking, this game cannot be blamed on him.

Because the Cavaliers are the kind of team that can't be stopped if they go crazy.

Kang Chengbiao's outburst was too fatal.

"It's not your fault." Louis reassured.

Zhao Yuanzheng said without tears: "Do you know how many threatening letters I have received these days? There are at least 1 people in the forum who want me to dismiss get out of class, and this team. I really...I really can't bear this anymore."

When Zhao Yuanzheng was an assistant coach, he once thought from Louie's point of view, what would happen in that situation if he were a coach.

Perhaps, he will do better than Louis.

But when he really sat in this position, he found that many things were not what he wanted.

He was almost crushed by the pressure.

Instead of continuing to say good things that had no effect, Louis helped him get a bottle of drink.

"If you want to resign, I can't stop it, but I can tell you that the management has foreseen these things." Louis said, "Instead of thinking about solving the problem, it is better to try to let go of the problem. All you have to do is lead them to move on."

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled bitterly: "Even if I do these things well, so what, you still have to come back next year."

Louie said matter-of-factly, "If you prove you can do the job, I'll stay behind the scenes."

"You really want me to be your Tom Heinsohn, don't you? Come on, I won't do it." Zhao Yuanzheng saw through everything, "I'm only responsible for scolding and blame work, and one year is enough."

Louis looked at the Sprite in Zhao Yuanzheng's hand with regret.

With Coach Zhao's awareness, he should treat him to Coke.

⑴ Oh, by the way, the Kings haven't touched the floor of the playoffs since 2007, maybe.
