Center first

Chapter 174
Sitting in the office, Spoelstra kept tapping the desk in front of him with the pen in his hand. His eyes were fixed on every scene on the TV screen. It was the game video of the Kings at its peak. According to the data, those guys on the field beat any opponent's defense with the most gorgeous offense.

Thinking, Spoelstra is thinking about what Pat Riley mentioned to him. He is thinking about whether it is necessary to change the Heat's tactical play. You must know that a mature team must have a Stable tactical arrangements and fixed formations have entered the middle of the season, and he is very clear about the consequences of rashly changing tactics.

Looking forward to finding a guy who can replace Wade on the court immediately is almost an impossible task. Instead of looking for an unknown player in the free market and those teams that urgently need to change their appearance, it is better to really A change is coming.

However, Spoelstra also knows that if he really makes up his mind, the responsibilities he will have to bear may be beyond his imagination. Originally, after research by the board of directors of the Heat, maybe Spoelstra will start next year. Own a brand new contract.

But now if he chooses to change the team's style of play, no one can estimate whether the possible consequences will be good or bad, not even Pat Riley. So both of them need to be prepared for what might happen.

The good result is that they have shaped the entire Miami into another gorgeous and unusual team. Everyone can score and organize offenses. Everyone is an offensive point, which can make opponents defenseless and completely form an overall offense. Even if there is no super scorer, they can rely on the existing staffing to reach the playoffs.

The bad result is that they transformed the Miami team that has been trained and formed beyond recognition, and then looked at the good situation in the first half of the season and ruined it.In that case, don't talk about the new contract, I'm afraid he and Pat Riley must have someone take responsibility and leave the get out of class.

With the wisdom of a "magic fortune teller", Spoelstra has reason to believe that if things end badly, he must be the one who dies the worst. He can't easily believe that an old fox will fall so easily. On the contrary, if you choose a scapegoat, he must be the one to take it.

Success and failure depend on Spoelstra's current thoughts. He has been sitting like this for an hour. Constantly tapping on the desktop, there is no other interference in the office except the sound from the TV, Spoelstra needs to make a bet for his future.

The key to whether to change or not to change lies in the most important role delineated by Spoelstra and Riley, the most core person in the team, Lin Yi.

Lin Yi became famous because of a game against the Lakers. Now it can be said that in the interior position, he may be the most promising future star. No one doubts that this kid will become the leader of the new generation, but he is now Only in the first grade, he still doesn't have enough experience, he is still too immature in the eyes of those old bones.

The state of Lin Yi when he broke out in the game against the Lakers let everyone know that he will succeed, his height, his skills, maybe this is the next ruler at the center position, but who can guarantee that Lin Yi will have every game? So crazy to play.You must know that the ups and downs of young players are so great that it is unbelievable. Maybe he can play like a god than Jordan today, and tomorrow he will become a rookie that even high school students can't guard against. This uncertainty makes Spoer Stella has been the deciding factor in his hesitation.

Gambling, the road ahead of the Heat is full of uncertainties, or they can continue playing like this. If they are lucky enough, rely on these old guys to play until Wade returns, with the foundation laid in the first half of the season, At least making it to the playoffs is out of the question.

But if you can rank in the regular season, then don't expect extravagantly, everything depends on God's blessing.This is the best result imaginable, and we have to pray that those old bones will not suffer from injuries due to too much playing time. In this case, the element of luck is too much, and they may face Wade's return. In the case of a full camp of wounded soldiers, in that case, no one can save the Heat.

Or completely abandon the Heat's long-standing defender-led style of play, disperse all attack points, and create a set of tactical models tailored around Lin Yi, with him as the core of everything, whether it is defense or offense, All the tactical focus is on Lin Yi, making the center the backbone of the Heat.

It is very risky to do this. It can be said that few people have such courage, but now Spoelstra is very inclined to the latter in his heart. He wants to give it a try. Like Pat Riley, he has a A gambler's keen sense.

Not all of them have the courage to let a first-year kid play the role of the team, and few people can really carry the burden of the team.

Maybe, Lin Yi can give them a miracle, or this kid can make the truly complete Princeton exert its greatest power.Spoelstra wants to fight now. He has no qualifications, so instead of waiting to see the performance decline and bear the pressure, it is better to take the initiative to change and create an opportunity.

"Damn it, I'll fight. I hope this kid won't make me lose my job." After thinking for a long time, Spoelstra slammed his fist on the desk in front of him. If you make a bet, the success or failure depends on that kid.

If he loses, at most he will go back and find a job as an assistant coach. If he wins, it will be bright in front of his eyes. The victory or defeat will depend on whether the kid lives up to his expectations. I hope God blesses me. Don't want to find another job in the economic crisis.

"Boss, I think I should ask you about the details of Princeton." Spoelstra called Pat Riley, and the first sentence he said made Pat Riley on the other end of the phone T. Riley smiled.

Pat Riley is very happy that his subordinates have finally figured it out. His original idea was to let Lin Yi exist on the field as the main attack point. His own account.

In the summer of 2010, Wade will start preparations for contract renewal. He will try his best to keep this guy who can bring Miami a box office guarantee, but now he must be prepared to lose Wade. If the Heat can't show the strength to compete for the championship, then even if he offers a top salary, the chance of keeping Wade is zero.

The current adventure, on the one hand, is to make Lin Yi mature as soon as possible. Pat Riley is very clear about the conditions under which a player can enter his peak state.

It's not that Lin Yi doesn't have the ability to dominate the team, but this kid doesn't have the consciousness to become a leader when he is on the court. If he builds a tactical system with him as the core, it will force this kid to carry the leadership of the Miami Heat. banner.

Pat Riley is very familiar with the role of a mature insider on a team. If the Miami people want to regain the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor, then let the Heat's inside core quickly become A cornerstone the team can rely on.

This is not only to keep Wade, but also to allow Pat Riley to get more benefits from the board of directors. You must know that now the "magic operator" wants to appear in front of people as a permanent director, not just A part-time job.

Another purpose of exercising Lin Yi's leadership ability and building tactics around him is that if the Miami people unfortunately lose Wade's ownership in the summer of 2010, Pat Riley can still use a strong ruler , Maintain the stability of the Miami Heat and keep people's attention on the Miami Heat.

This is Pat Riley's plan. If an idol has to leave, then let me prepare someone who can replace him in advance. In the NBA world, no one is irreplaceable. If you want to choose A potential stock, of course, the younger the better, at least the current Lin Yi seems to have the potential to become a new idol.

And Pat Riley has already laid out all the escape routes, he doesn't have to bear too many responsibilities, if something goes wrong, the Filipino will naturally take all the responsibilities for him.

Miami once again has a lineup comparable to the combination of O'Neal and Wade. Pat Riley and all Miami people have reason to believe that this team can perform well. If the results are not satisfactory, it must be the head coach's fault. problem, and the Filipino is a novice, no one will blame Pat Riley.

If that guy is unlucky, it has nothing to do with him. If he is lucky enough, then Pat Riley has a reason to share a large part of the credit. Like a team to conquer an opponent, he will never forget how to calculate the gains and losses.

When he hung up the phone, there was a smug smile on the corner of Pat Riley's mouth. Miami still belongs to his sky, where he can control many things, including the fate of people. The fate of that yellow-skinned boy may change from today At the beginning, we must embark on the most glorious path, bless him.

The core of the center sounds very crazy. I hope that kid has the ability to go on under this pressure.

Basketball, sometimes, requires a gambler-like choice. As for what it will look like, we will see at that time, maybe this is the birth of a legend.

Pat Riley picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip slowly. Looking at the family portrait in front of him when he won the championship in 06, the corner of his mouth inadvertently drew an arc.

If possible, I hope this is another dynasty, Pat Riley said softly.

Boy, it's up to you.

(One update...it will resume after the 16th, don't blame me these days, it's really troublesome at work...)
