Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Darkness enveloped the arena, and under the bright lights were the disappointed faces of the fans.

The second game of the Eastern Conference Finals has ended. The Bucks lost to the Nets 104:129, trailing 0:2. This result is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Bucks fans. They witnessed their team's defeat in the stands, and the disappointment and anger in their hearts were intertwined, forming an indescribable emotion.

Fans pointed the finger at head coach Budenholzer. In their view, the defeat in this game was entirely a reflection of the coach's lack of on-the-spot command. They felt that it was Budenholzer's inability to make effective tactical adjustments at critical moments that led to the team's disastrous defeat.

"Why not adjust tactics in time when the Nets restrict Antetokounmpo?"

"Why can't we effectively limit the Nets' scoring?"

These questions are swirling in the minds of fans, who have great doubts about Budenholzer's tactical arrangements and adaptability.

In their eyes, as the head coach, Budenholzer should bear full responsibility for the team's defeat.

After the game, the Bucks players quietly left the court and took a plane back to Milwaukee. However, they did not expect that a bigger storm would be waiting for them at the airport.

When the team bus slowly drove into the airport and the players got off the bus, they found that the airport entrance was already surrounded by angry fans. They held signs and chanted slogans calling for Budenholzer to be fired.

"Budenholzer is dismissed!"

"You killed the Bucks!"

Angry shouts came one after another, and every word revealed the fans' disappointment and dissatisfaction with the head coach. They feel that it was Budenholzer's incompetence that led to the team's consecutive losses, and he must be held responsible for all of this.

In the face of the fans' anger, Budenholzer walked through the crowd expressionlessly, without stopping or responding to the fans' accusations. Perhaps in his heart, he was also full of helplessness and self-blame. He knows that as the head coach, he needs to bear the responsibility for the team's failure. But in this turmoil, he chose to remain silent.

However, is this really the case? Is it really fair to put all the blame on Budenholzer?

In fact, Budenholzer is already a very good head coach. He led the team to a good record in the regular season and also saved the team at critical moments. However, in competitive sports, winning or losing is often affected by many factors, including but not limited to player status, opponent strength, tactical arrangements, etc.

It is obviously unfair to blame the team's defeat entirely on the head coach.

The strength gap between the Bucks and Nets exists objectively. The Nets have a stronger lineup and better player performance. In this game, their performance was indeed better. And when Antetokounmpo was limited, the Bucks' offense stalled. This is not a problem for Budenholzer alone, but a challenge that the entire team needs to face together.

Of course, as the head coach, Budenholzer also has the responsibility to make more flexible adjustments in tactics to help the team bite the score at critical moments.

However, it is obviously unfair to put all the responsibility for the loss on him.

It's unclear whether Budenholzer will step down after the incident.

However, what is certain is that no matter what the result is, he will not be completely unemployed in the NBA.

Winning and losing are normal in competitive sports, but how to face winning and losing, how to adjust mentality and tactics, and how to lead the team out of the trough are issues that every head coach needs to think deeply about.

This turmoil has also made more people see the cruelty and uncertainty of competitive sports. The NBA has never been easy to mess with, whether it is a coach or a player.

As a storm of controversy about head coach Budenholzer suddenly set off in the basketball world. Bucks fans' anger spread online and even attacked the head coach at the airport.

However, amid this controversy, famous ESPN commentator Tom Walter stood up to defend Budenholzer the next day.

"I am very sorry for the Bucks' loss last night, but I am even more sorry for the unreasonable accusations made by some Bucks fans against coach Budenholzer." Tom Walter got straight to the point in a specially released video. say. His voice was firm and powerful, revealing his unwavering support for the head coach.

Walter continued: "Coach Budenholzer's coaching ability is unquestionable. I reviewed a large number of data and tables. His tactical arrangements and player scheduling are all based on a deep understanding of basketball and accurate judgment on the court. He leads The team has performed well in the past few seasons, which is enough to prove that he is an extremely good coach.”

He paused, seemingly giving the audience some time to think, and then continued: "The basketball game is not just a battlefield for the coach alone, it requires the collaboration and efforts of the entire team. The responsibility for the loss is entirely placed on the head coach. It's unfair. We must see that there is indeed a huge gap in strength between the Bucks and Nets in this series. This is not to say that coach Budenholzer has not made efforts, but in competitive sports. , winning or losing is often affected by many factors.”

Walter's voice gradually became louder: "I am disappointed with those Bucks fans who attacked Coach Budenholzer. As true basketball fans, we should face winning and losing with a more mature and rational attitude. An excellent The head coach shouldn't be treated so unfairly for losing a game."

Finally, Walter appealed: "Let us give Coach Budenholzer more support and understanding. He is an experienced and wise coach, and he deserves our respect and trust. I believe that under his leadership, The Bucks will get out of the trough and get back to the top.”

With the release of Walter's video, outside experts and media have also come forward to speak out.

Some people support Walter's view and believe that the actions of Bucks fans are indeed excessive; others question Budenholzer's coaching ability and believe that as the head coach, he should be responsible for the team's defeat.

The debate quickly spread across major sports forums and social media. People who support Budenholzer believe that he has proven his coaching ability in the past few seasons, and he has also made many efforts and adjustments in this series.

They believe that it is unfair to blame the loss entirely on the head coach, and that the strength gap between the entire team and the opponent should be seen.

People who question Budenholzer believe that as the head coach, he should be responsible for the team's defeat. They pointed out that at the critical moment, Budenholzer's tactical arrangements and dispatch did not play their due role, causing the team to fall into passivity in the game.

Although there is a strength gap in the team, the head coach should make up for this gap through better tactical arrangements.

The debate lasted for several days and attracted the attention of a large number of fans and experts. In the end, although there was no consensus, the debate undoubtedly triggered deep thinking about the responsibility of the head coach and the strength of the team.

Budenholzer has not publicly responded to the controversy since the incident. He chose to respond to the storm with silence. Perhaps in his heart, he knew his responsibilities and mission, and also understood the normality of winning and losing in competitive sports.

It's unfair to deny the hard work and dedication of the head coach just because of a loss in one round.

On the other hand, after the victory in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Nets players had high morale and arrived in Milwaukee, the home of the Bucks, in advance to prepare for the next challenge.

Under nightfall, they checked into a local hotel and prepared to rest and adjust. However, in the hotel, a piece of news about Bucks coach Budenholzer reached their ears.

After Nets assistant coach Atkinson heard the news, he couldn't help but have many doubts in his heart. He decided to discuss the matter with head coach Lu Yong and try to understand the reasons behind it.

Atkinson knocked on Lu Yong's door. When the door opened, he said bluntly: "Lou, have you heard? Coach Budenholzer of the Bucks is not having a good time now. Their fans put their losses at risk." The blame for the ball fell entirely on his head.”

Lu Yong nodded, motioned for Atkinson to come in and sit down, and then responded with a smile: "This situation is not uncommon in the NBA. When fans and management dare not attack the stars, the head coach often becomes the backbone." The object of the pot.”

Atkinson couldn't help but frowned after hearing this: "This is so unfair. Losing is obviously the problem of the entire team. How can you blame the head coach entirely?"

Lu Yong sighed and explained: "This is the reality of the NBA. The career of a head coach is inherently full of challenges and risks. Although I don't think this is Budenholzer's fault, there are some things we really can't Change. Fans always need an outlet to vent their emotions, and the head coach is often the easiest target.”

After hearing this, Atkinson nodded thoughtfully: "But, does putting all the responsibility on the head coach really solve the problem? Doesn't this hide the real problem?"

Lu Yong smiled and said: "You are right, but this is the cruelty of professional sports. Sometimes, in order to calm the pressure of public opinion, the management and fans will choose to sacrifice the head coach to divert attention. However, I believe it is fake It’s fake after all and will be exposed one day.”

Atkinson was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed: "Being a head coach in the NBA is really a high-risk profession!"

Lu Yong patted Atkinson on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as we do our best and try our best to win the game, we don't have to worry about these troubles."

The two chatted for a while, and then Atkinson stood up and left.

When he walked out of Lu Yong's room, he couldn't help but feel a little more awe and understanding of the profession of head coach.

For Lu Yong and Atkinson, this late-night conversation strengthened their beliefs and goals. The road to professional sports is full of challenges and uncertainties, but as long as they maintain their original aspirations and move forward courageously, they will be able to go further.
That afternoon, when doubts and accusations from the outside world rushed towards Bushai like a raging wave, an unexpected voice stood out in the din.

"I admire Coach Budenholzer very much." Nets head coach Lu Yong said in front of the camera. "He is an extremely outstanding head coach with a deep understanding and unique insights into basketball tactics."

Lu Yong's words are like a clear spring, particularly clear in the turbid public opinion field.

Lu Yong continued to elaborate on his point of view: "Coach Budenholzer's talent in building team tactics is obvious. He can flexibly adjust tactics according to the characteristics of the players and the opponent's situation, so that the team can always maintain the same level of success during the game. Competitiveness. Not every coach has this ability, it requires deep basketball skills and keen insight.”

"I know that the fans of the Bucks may be a little disappointed with his performance." Lu Yong changed the subject and talked about the current controversy, "But I want to say that losing is not the responsibility of the coach alone. Basketball games It’s a team sport and it’s unfair to put all the blame on the head coach.”

Lu Yong’s words revealed his deep respect and support for Budenholzer. He not only affirmed Budenholzer's coaching ability, but also called on Bucks fans to watch the game rationally and not to use vicious language to attack such a meritorious coach who has devoted a lot of energy and effort to the team.

"Bush has rich coaching experience and excellent tactical qualities, which cannot be measured by the outcome of a game. I hope Bucks fans can give him more support and understanding."

Lu Yong's words were like a warm current, warming Budenholzer who was at the forefront of the storm.

At this sensitive and critical moment, Lu Yong chose to stand up and speak for Budenholzer, which is undoubtedly his greatest support and encouragement.

Lu Yong's appreciation for Budenholzer is not just verbal. He also said privately that if Budenholzer intends to find a new coaching opportunity after leaving the Bucks, he hopes that Budenholzer will Able to join his coaching staff in the summer.

"Coach Budenholzer's talent and ability are beyond doubt." Lu Yong said frankly, "If given the opportunity, I very much hope that he can join our team and jointly contribute to the future of the Nets."

Lu Yong's statement is undoubtedly a great recognition and win over Budenholzer. As the same head coach, Lu Yong knows the importance of an excellent coach to the team. He hopes to further enhance the Nets' competitiveness by introducing high-level coaches like Budenholzer.

Of course, this also reflects Budenholzer's strength in the basketball coaching world. Although he has encountered some setbacks and doubts recently, his talent and ability are still highly praised by Lu Yong.

With Lu Yong's statement and continued attention from the outside world, the controversy over Budenholzer has gradually become more rational. More and more fans and experts are beginning to realize that the outcome of a game does not fully represent a coach's coaching level. Begin to re-examine Budenholzer's past coaching achievements and contributions to the team.

Budenholzer himself has always remained silent and low-key about this controversy. As for whether he will join the Nets coaching staff and work with Lu Yong in the future? This is still an unknown.

But what is certain is that no matter what choice Budenholzer makes, he will probably choose to leave this summer when he is frustrated, and the chance of continuing to coach the Bucks is very small.
