NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 89 Where will Su Chen go next season, the night of the big battle! (triple)

Post-match press conference.

Su Chen also participated, and faced various questions from the reporters, Su Chen dealt with them relatively calmly.

"Congratulations to the Warriors who are one game away from winning the championship. May I ask if this is the new era you are talking about?"

reporter asked.

"Faster and more rounds is a trend in modern basketball, but we can't relax yet and will prepare for the next game."

Su Chen replied with a smile.

"Many professionals have various doubts about your three-point play style. What do you think?"

asked another reporter.

"I'm not very good at debating. I think it would be more practical to speak with victory."

Su Chen asked and answered calmly.

"Historically, there has never been a reversal from 1 to 3 in the finals. If the Warriors win the championship, what is your plan?"

At this time, a reporter asked.

This question has attracted the attention of many people, and the other reporters who did not ask any questions also cheered up to see how Su Chen would answer.

As Su Chen led the Warriors to the finals, everyone knew about Su Chen's personal contract.

Su Chen's contract is only a one-year assistant contract, which means that Su Chen will be a free agent next season.

From reversing the Spurs, sweeping the Grizzlies, and now facing the Super Big Three in the finals, the Heat have taken a three-to-one lead.

The Warriors don't have any superstars either. The only All-Star is a backup All-Star David Lee, and David Lee has not been able to play so far.

It can be said that Su Chen led a group of rookies and veterans like Jefferson who fell out of the rotation, all the way to the present.

Su Chen's coaching ability, in fact, doesn't need to be questioned too much at all. A coach who can lead a civilian team to the finals or even win the championship will never be short of work.

Just like Larry Brown, who led the five civilian Pistons to win the championship, he also caused many teams to compete after leaving the Pistons.

Today's Warriors are really inferior to the Pistons' Five Tigers. Curry and Thompson are rookies without honor, and Draymond Green, the core of the team's operation, is even a rookie who has fallen out of the rotation.

With such a halo blessing, once Su Chen leads the Warriors to win the championship, the gold content of Su Chen, the champion coach, will be at the forefront of history.

There are also differences among champion coaches.

Not to mention far away, let's say that the Warriors opponent Heat coach Eric Spoelstra, as a champion coach Eric Spoelstra actually did not get the respect of a true champion coach.

People will only think that with James Wade Bosh's team, his grandma can win the championship.

But for a team like the Warriors, many famous coaches in the league come, and they basically can't pass the Spurs.

Because of this, where Su Chen will coach next season will attract a lot of attention.

Whenever Su Chen expresses the idea of ​​not wanting to keep the Warriors at all, a large number of teams will immediately send people to contact Su Chen.

"As a professional coach, I don't have other distracting thoughts now except for the next game against the Heat."

How could Su Chen touch the hole dug by these reporters? She answered very officially.

Hearing this, all the reporters were disappointed, answering was tantamount to not answering.

But this is also reasonable. This is the question that the reporter asked without professional ethics for the sake of traffic.

If Su Chen really said what he had in mind, the team's morale, which had been cultivated with great difficulty, would be thrown into chaos.

The next questions are more official.

For example, regarding the opponent's opinion, Su Chen naturally answered the opponent is also very strong.

After dealing with these reporters, Su Chen also slipped away from the arena.

Back at his residence in Jinzhou, Su Chen's thoughts also recalled the question that reporter asked him just now.

I shouldn't have thought about this issue at this juncture.

But when it is mentioned, it is inevitable that you will think about it for a while.

Where are you going next season?
Or stay with the Warriors?

呲!
Opening a bottle of sparkling drink, Su Chen sat by the window and couldn't help but think of this question.

Today's Warriors are on the right track, he wants to stay, and Lacob is expected to renew his contract.

but?
Su Chen glanced at his character panel.

【Host】: Su Chen
[Item]: Simulated glasses (S-grade), medium-bottle reusable energy drink (A-grade)
[Skills]: Eagle Eye (B-level), Hot Zone Ignition (A-level)
[? ? ? 】: Obtain any ability to unlock
[? ? ? 】: Obtain any ability to unlock
[Simulation glasses (S-level): The tactics you set up are simulated a thousand times instantly, players can complete them more smoothly, and the organizational attributes of all members +20%. 】

[Middle-bottle reusable energy drink (A-level): After using it on a player, it can restore a certain amount of physical strength. It can be used once in a normal game. After the next game starts, it will automatically complete the charge. 】

[Eagle Eye (Class B): After turning on Eagle Eye, continue to consume mental power, mark a place, and be able to clearly see the marked place. 】

[Hot Zone Ignition (A-Level): Ignite the player's shooting hot zone, and the hits under open space and interference can be improved to a certain extent. Duration: 1 minute, limited to one use in the audience. 】

Are you strong now?
In fact, it is not that strong.

There are many factors behind his ability to reverse the Spurs, sweep the Grizzlies, and make the Heat what they are now.

Now the league is not familiar with small ball tactics, and even Popovich was caught off guard.

The simulation glasses look like an S-rank item, but in fact, after adding a thousand simulations, it has no effect.

Many other teams have been coached by the same coach for several seasons, and the number is more than a thousand times. Many tactics of a team like the Spurs may have been practiced tens of thousands of times.

The biggest function of the simulation glasses is to allow him to quickly adapt to a new team, which obviously does not enhance his stay in the Warriors much.

Reusable stamina potions are useful, but only for one player, strong but limited.

Ignition in the hot zone is to increase explosive power. Hawkeye is very effective, but it can be used two or three times in a game when the mental power is exhausted.

Everything else is gone.

That's the advantage he has over other coaches.

Su Chen didn't drift away just because he won some games, he knew very well that he was actually just a blogger doing tactical analysis in the future.

After the Warriors win the championship, many people will definitely start to learn the Warriors' tactics. There are no patents on tactics. It is not easy for other professional coaches to learn your tactics.

At the same time, when Xiao Hua takes office next season, some rules will definitely be changed, and these rules will benefit the small ball lineup.

In this way, there will be more and more teams learning the Warriors' tactics.

He can play to the point where he is now. In fact, the most important thing is his tactical concept ahead of the times. Once he stands on the same starting line as other professional coaches.

Then his advantage is very small.

Rookies will hit the rookie wall, and as a rookie coach, he will also hit the rookie wall.

Perhaps relying on the growth of the Warriors lineup, he can still enjoy two or three seasons of bonuses without showing timidity.

But when everyone studies him thoroughly, and the Warriors are targeted at him and can't think of new methods, then his true level will be exposed.

At the same time, Su Chen looked at the system's lottery rules.

[In addition to the high-level guarantee draw for the first show and the mid-level guarantee draw for the first win, teams eliminated in the playoffs and evaluated as A-level or above will get one chance for the ordinary lottery draw, and one high-level guarantee draw for winning the championship. Get one chance for ordinary lucky draw. 】

Remarks: If you coach the same team for two consecutive seasons, the general lottery in the playoffs can be upgraded to the elimination of the S-level team.

This lottery rule is the reason why Su Chen doesn't want to stay in the Warriors.

Coaching the same team for two consecutive seasons, the lottery requirements are too harsh, and there are not many S-level team leagues.

And the regular season has to reach 30 consecutive victories, not to mention whether it can be achieved, but this is too overdrawn for the team.

Warriors are not invincible.

The 73-win Warriors missed the championship is still vivid.

On the contrary, if you go to other teams to practice, you will have a lot more chances to get a lottery.

"Forget it, it's too early to think about it now, let's talk about it after winning this series."

Su Chen shook her head and didn't think about it any more.

The next day.

The news that the Warriors led the Heat by [-] to [-] immediately swamped the screen.

Some people who were optimistic about the Heat before have not said anything now, and many Heat fans are already scolding.

Some scolded the Warriors for fouling the pick-and-roll, and some scolded the league for not blowing the Warriors pick-and-roll.

But more still scold the Heat.

Except for some extreme Heat fans, more rational fans still know what is going on in this round of the series.

The Heat's whistle is not to mention this round of the series, it is the regular season of the playoffs, and they are all given by the league.

When James and Wade rushed inside, the opponent would either take a fierce foul or simply press the ball down, and even if they were out of position, they would be blown.

In the first three games, it can be said that the Heat still had a lot of whistles.

Rational fans certainly saw that the last whistle was more biased towards the Warriors, but in the past they were more biased towards the Heat, and the Warriors only got this whistle.

Most people scold the Heat for not living up to expectations.

None of the Heat's Big Three could escape, and all of them were scolded, and so was the coach.

However, due to the large number of fans of James Wade, coach Bosh and Spoelstra are usually blamed.

People who hate the Warriors' three-point play style still hate it, but they are convinced. After all, if they haven't played before, it's like a sophistry.

Even old-school fans who hate the Warriors' style of play have to admit that the Warriors' system is indeed powerful.

If we talk about reversing the old strong team, the Spurs led by Popovich, there are still some remarks that rely on three-pointers to explode.

Sweep the Grizzlies and say that the Grizzlies themselves are dishes.

Then make the Heat like this, the above two remarks are rarely mentioned again.

In the series between the Warriors and the Heat, Curry and Thompson did not feel good in every game, but they relied on the system and the strength of the team to win so many games.

As for the problem that the opponent is too good, it doesn't exist anymore.

The opponent is a super team of three peak super giants, and the status of the defending champion. If such a team is good, then there will be no strong team.

The discussion about the outcome of the championship even faded away.

It's not the Warriors fan loan championship. It's really because there is no team in history that can come back from a one-to-three deficit in the finals.

The Heat can still win the championship, and there is only a theoretical possibility left.

On the contrary, the discussion is more about where Su Chen will go next season.

"Su Chen must stay in Golden State and continue to coach the Warriors. If Lacob dares not to renew his contract, I won't buy the season package!"

"I also don't think there's much discussion on this issue. Su Chen has already used this lineup well. I'm sure the original team will work together to win the championship."

"Lacob is not a stingy boss, and he can strengthen next season, and the Warriors next season will be a top team."

"But in the last press conference, Su Chen directly avoided this question, and I feel that the Warriors may not be kept."

"Aren't you stupid, so what's the problem?"

"Although Su Chen's answer is very official, in fact, this question can be answered more bluntly. Wouldn't it boost the morale of the team if you like this Warriors team and want to coach it next season?"

"Yes, maybe Su Chen really has other ideas, and it's not necessarily true that it would be better for the morale of the team to directly announce to stay in the team."

"Don't over-interpret it, who would normally think so much."

The question of whether Su Chen will stay in the Warriors has become a hot topic.

Although at the press conference, Su Chen didn't say that he would leave the Warriors, but he didn't say he wanted to keep the Warriors either!

From the perspective of outside fans, if Su Chen firmly answers to stay in the team, it can avoid these suspicions and at the same time give the team a reassurance.

Of course, it may also be because Su Chen was too tired from playing the game at the time, and she simply didn't think about so many random words.

After all, Su Chen's answer is a panacea, so you can think of it as ambiguous.

Inside the office.

This news topic also caught the attention of Warriors owner Lacob.

Lacob remembered that he seemed to have forgotten the issue of Su Chen's contract, so he also brought Su Chen here.

This championship is very important to the Warriors, first give a contract to stabilize Su Chen.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

"Please come in."

After Su Chen entered the door, Lacob stood up from the chair.

"Haha, you did a really good job."

Lacob smiled and shook hands with Su Chen.

"It's within my profession."

Su Chen stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"I hope I didn't disturb you. There are some rumors from the outside world. I believe you don't take it seriously."

"In order for you not to think too much, you can sign this contract now to directly replace the old contract."

Lacob brought a contract to Su Chen.

Su Chen took a look.

This is a contract of about $3500 million for five years. This contract is relatively generous compared to Cole's first contract. I remember that Cole's first contract was about $5 million for five years.

Coach salaries are less exaggerated than players.

But if you look at Su Chen's championship standard, this contract can only be said to be quite satisfactory, neither cheap nor fertile.

"Sir, I think I should focus on the game now, let's discuss these after the end of the season."

Su Chen put down the contract and said to Lacob with a smile.

Regarding Su Chen's answer, Lacob frowned.

It stands to reason that Su Chen is a rookie coach, even if he is now infinitely close to leading the team to the championship.

But such a contract can be considered generous.

After receiving such an answer, Lacob felt a little unhappy, but he still counted on Su Chen to help him win the championship, so he didn't show it.

"You're right, but I'll keep it for you whenever you want to sign."

Lacob said to Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded and walked out of the office.

When walking out of the office, Su Chen shook his head.

It was just an ordinary head coach contract.

In fact, Su Chen's need for money is not as great as his need for power.

After all, he is a time traveler. In the draft and trade, he knows the development of these players.

It would be a waste of such ability not to pick up leaks.

Even if he wants to stay in the Warriors, he still needs management rights.

But judging from this contract, it is estimated that it is unlikely to be mentioned with Lacobouti. The market value of the Warriors will rise linearly after winning the championship.

Golden State is not a small ball market, and wants Lacob to believe that he is involved in the management, and even the decision maker.

That's basically impossible.

Just from this contract, you can see Ni Duan.

If Lacob really trusts him, at least in terms of money, it will be easy to get an annual salary of tens of millions.

However, Su Chen has no other ideas at the moment, and now he still needs to prepare for the next battle.

Oracle Arena.

Before the night darkened, a large number of Warriors fans had already rushed to the Oracle Arena.

Fans with tickets naturally entered the arena early, waiting for the start of the game. Every Warriors fan is looking forward to witnessing the birth of the championship at home.

Even fans without tickets can buy official merchandise in the Warriors official store around Oracle Arena.

Curry's jerseys and shoes, even though enough supplies have been prepared, were still snatched up by a large number of fans.

Even the jerseys and shoes of Thompson and Draymond Green have been hotly grabbed by many fans.

Of course, Su Chen's popularity is also very high, which is rare for a coach.

It's a pity that the coach doesn't have any peripherals to sell. Do you sell tactical boards?

A large number of fans gathered in front of the big screen outside the stadium, and many people were waiting to celebrate.

Although it is not certain that the Warriors can win this game, Warriors fans very much hope that they can win this game and celebrate the championship at home!
And as the night darkened, the key battle of the finals in the brightly lit arena was about to begin.

The player entry ceremony has passed.

Su Chen put his hands on his chest, watching the warm-up of the players on the field, waiting for the start of the game.

Su Chen was also a little nervous about this game, and took a piece of chewing gum from the old assistant coach and chewed it.

This game is too important, to win is the championship, and it is a home championship.

But if it is not won, let the Heat take it back a game, it will not be easy to fight.

With a score of three to two, the next is the Heat's two consecutive home games.

Others don't know, but Su Chen knows that when James goes crazy, he can really come back from a one-to-three deficit in the finals.

It's the safest to take it down.

"Don't let the game be taken to Miami, no matter what method, keep the championship in Golden State!"

Before the start of the game, Su Chen summoned the players to come to the air.

After the Warriors players heard it, they were all bloody, and when they walked to the court, they all showed fierce faces.

Tonight is their championship night!
Especially Draymond Green, a man who has risen from the bottom, knows what this means.

With his current performance in the Warriors, as long as he can win the championship, his worth will skyrocket.

In order to get out of the quagmire of the past, Draymond Green will do nothing, no one can stop him!

In front of the technical stage, James grabbed a handful of talcum powder and rubbed it, not knowing what he was thinking.

He no longer has the habit of throwing titanium powder into the air, especially now that the team is behind, it is even more impossible.

"The Warriors are the closest game to the championship, guys, what do you think?"

Kenny Smith spoke first.

Kenny Smith is supporting the Warriors, and now he is in high spirits.

Buckley shook his head and casually agreed.

He doesn't like the Warriors anymore, but he can also see that it's not the Warriors' game anymore.

"Su Chen is really unbelievable. If anyone told me before the playoffs that the Warriors could lead their opponents [-]-[-] in the Finals, I would definitely kick him away."

Johnson also said.

As a fool, Johnson is also a supporter of the Warriors.

As long as he chooses his camp quickly enough, he won't lose.

"I don't think the Heat will succumb so easily. They are the defending champions after all."

O'Neill said helplessly.

At this time, players from both sides also played.

Warriors starting lineup: Festus Ezeri (C), Draymond Green (PF), Richard Jefferson (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry ( PG).

Heat starting lineup: Chris Anderson (C), Chris Bosh (PF), LeBron James (SF), Ray Allen (SG), Dwyane Wade (PG).

The Heat's lineup has been adjusted again.

Seeing the Heat's lineup, it seems that he probably guessed what Eric Spoelstra was thinking.

really.

After the Warriors continued to use the elevator door tactic, the Heat chose a strategy of single-chasing to protect the rebound for the defense of the elevator door.

Curry hit the iron on the first ball, and Anderson received the rebound.

"Did you look down on Curry by defending against Curry so much?"

But Su Chen didn't panic at all.

The elevator door tactic is difficult to grab rebounds, which is a major disadvantage of the elevator door tactic.

If the three-point shooter fails to make a goal, the two insiders are blocking the shooter, which will cause the opponent's inside to get stuck when grabbing a rebound.

But with this trick, it is almost a bet on the opponent's touch.

But this is Curry, you can defend like this against anyone, but you can't defend against Curry like this.

Sure enough, in the next round.

Erik Spoelstra paid for his defensive strategy.

beep!
Curry's consecutive three-pointers made Eric Spoelstra call a timeout.

Warriors 12:9 Heat.

This is also due to the whistle of James' breakthrough today, which didn't let the Warriors open the score at the beginning.

Erik Spoelstra figured out a way, but not much.

During the timeout, this tactic was immediately negated.

"We have no way out, go squeeze, use any method to squeeze that door!"

Erik Spoelstra didn't even use the tactical board and said directly to the players.

At this time, the Heat don't care so much.

One more loss to their season would be the overall runner-up record.

After returning to the court, the Heat's defensive style was still rough.

When he rushed to the elevator door, the newly replaced Haslem swung his elbow directly at Draymond Green.

Draymond Green was in pain, and his golf quotient was not low, so he took advantage of the trend.

He also used a little force on the ball himself, and it looked like Haslem elbowed Draymond Green two meters away.

beep!
Referees don’t need to blow some small tricks, and they will hit people directly. If they don’t blow it, it will become a fighting game.
