Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 305 New Era

The previous NBA has always been an era of big ball, using forwards and guards to continuously attack the opponent's inside line, and in this process, many inside stars have been created. In this era, the offense in the half court is particularly emphasized. The tactics that came out shocked many people, and some people even felt that their perception of basketball had been subverted, such as the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, ultra-long three-pointers, and small lineups on the court.

All this is a kind of subversion to many people's perception of basketball.

Even at the beginning, Kerr was questioned. Many NBA celebrities thought he was desecrating basketball.

But this season's Warriors used their record to silence all doubts.

And if the Warriors basketball is subversive, then the Timberwolves are even more perverted.

With the center as the core of offense and defense, this is everywhere in the big ball era, but I have never seen a center with a center standing outside the three-point line as the core of offense and defense.

Then players in the positions of centers and power forwards will give you a three-pointer at every turn.

It can be said that this game between the Timberwolves and the Pacers has caused almost all the head coaches in the league to really put the Timberwolves in their research plans. All the game videos of the Timberwolves in the last two seasons have been watched over and over again by these people. , Some even looked at it frame by frame. Every time they attacked on the court, every Timberwolves player's running position and every passing route were carefully studied.

"Chen, do you think that three-pointers will be valued by all teams?" After a day of training, Da Zhuang also discussed some interesting things in the current league with several members of the coaching staff, and D'Antoni brought the topic to the present A lot of media is on the hot topic.

"Of course, this is a trend that no one can stop unless you are willing to be eliminated."

"But if everyone shoots three-pointers outside, then the scene of this game will not be very good. Will the league allow it?"

"It doesn't matter whether the league allows it or not. After all, it is within the scope of the rules, but I don't think it will affect the enjoyment of the game. After all, the three-pointer is guaranteed by the hit rate. No one said he can guarantee every The shooting rate in every game will be very high. Once your shooting rate drops, what do you do at this time, and haven’t you noticed? Once you want to realize the three-point tactic, you must speed up your passing speed, and The tactical arrangement of running without the ball, only when all your people are moving, can you find more loopholes in the opponent's defense, and the open three-pointer will always have the highest hit rate."

"Chen, I might have to go."

"Oh, let's go, what? You want to go? Who invited you?" Originally, the conversation was good, but D'Antoni's next sentence suddenly made Da Zhuang jump up.

It's not that he was reluctant, but a little surprised, and he didn't hear of any team whose head coach dismissed get out of class.

"Larry Bird called me, but I'm still thinking about it, so I want to hear your opinion."

Fuck, D'Antoni's words make Da Zhuang Lei's skin tender.

It's over, that guy Vogel's position is really lost, so this fucking guy won't hate me because of it.

The Smiths on the side also stared at the two in dumbfounded.

"I know your relationship with Frank, and it is precisely because of this that I want to think about it. In addition, the configuration of the Pacers' current team lineup, to be honest, I am not optimistic, so if I accept it, I have to do it at the trade deadline. A few days ago, otherwise there would be nothing to do this season."

"I'll go, you fucking don't want to hear my opinion, who do you want to take with you?"

Hearing D'Antoni's words, Da Zhuang instantly understood what the other party meant.

That old fellow Larry Bird really knows how to calculate. He made it clear that he wanted to poach the corner of the Timberwolves.

"Mike, I can't guarantee you this. You all know my chance to build a team. Whether it's my personal relationship with you or Frank, if it affects my plan, I will definitely not I may agree to you, I hope you understand this, and to be honest, if it’s the Pacers, to be honest, they don’t have anything I’m interested in at the moment, which is why I didn’t agree to Frank.”

Da Zhuang directly blocked the road first. If you want to go, it’s okay, I’ll see you off, but if you want to take someone away, that’s impossible.

Hearing Chen Dazhuang's words, D'Antoni couldn't help but smiled wryly.

He understood Da Zhuang's words, but he still wanted to work hard for future coaching.

"Chen, the Timberwolves don't need so many insiders. Oden or Nicola alone is enough. Any of them paired with Yi or Henry can occupy an advantage in the league. Don't you think this is a bit wasteful?"

"So, Mike, what I want to tell you is, neither Greg nor Nicola, I will not choose to trade, and are you sure you want to talk to me now? Do you think you talk to me now? Is it suitable? I think you should first consider whether you want to go to the Pacers, and then let the Pacers management contact us. This is a normal process. In addition, I will give you a piece of advice. I have no objection to you going to other balls Team coaching, not only you, I have no objection to all of you, but to be honest, the Pacers are really not suitable for you, if you want to go, you'd better talk to Larry Bird about your rights in the team Which ones?"

Da Zhuang's words also made D'Antoni realize that it is really inappropriate to talk about it now. After all, his identity has not been confirmed. Fortunately, it belongs to D'Antoni.

But what happened next was so fast that Da Zhuang didn't expect it.

The next day after D'Antoni told Tang Tian, ​​the Pacers held a press conference and directly announced that Frank Vogel would no longer serve as the team's head coach. This news immediately detonated the whole country.

Unexpectedly, nearly one-third of the regular season has gone on, and Vogel became the first head coach to dismiss get out of class this season.

Immediately afterwards, on December 12, the Pacers held a press conference again to announce the personnel of the new head coach. When the reporters at the scene saw D'Antoni's figure, there was an uproar.

To be honest, judging from the series of actions of the Pacers, if it is not premeditated, no ghost will believe it.

Although things came very suddenly, it is obvious that the Pacers have been preparing for all this. Everyone knows that D'Antoni has been an assistant coach in the Timberwolves before.
