The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 212 We Love Watching Tuman Fight Five
Determine the general manager and select players in the live broadcast.

The next job is to enrich the coaching staff.

According to the usual practice, the head coaches of the first and second-year teams in the Rookie Challenge will be the chief assistant coaches of the All-Star Game, the head coaches of the East and West teams respectively.

But this year it's reformed, and it's a little different.

First the same parts——

The selection principles of the head coach remain unchanged, namely:

Suns head coach Alvin Gentry's John Sumait

Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau's Ron Adams

The different part is that Barkley and O'Neal's TNT colleagues Mike Fratello and Steve Kerr will also join the coaching staff of the two teams, respectively.

The specific allocation method is:

John Sumait and Steve Kerr join Barkley.

Ron Adams and Mike Frattero join the O'Neals.

Kerr is the former general manager of the Suns, and he is familiar with John Sumet. He once said on the show:

What I regret most in my life is not working in the sun for an extra year!
Otherwise, which round gets that kid Lance Blanks?

He can sign a contract with the rookie Tu Man himself!
And while the labor agreement has not yet expired, sign him a six-year maximum salary...

He's so awesome, he can brag for a lifetime!

Therefore, being able to coach Tuman this time can be regarded as fulfilling Cole's wish.

Last year's Rookie Challenge turned Tuman and Griffin into the qualifiers for the dunk contest, and the ratings rose exponentially all the way, making fat old David very happy!

What about this year?
The fans didn't expect it.

After all, watching Tu Man abuse a group of quails is boring. He has done this for 34 games, and the group of quails in the Rookie Challenge is not as good as his opponents in the regular season. What's so interesting about it!
Later, when I saw the draft results of the two teams, I became interested instantly.

The meaning of the NBA is to let Tu Man take such a group of quails to fight a group of eagles?
Interesting!

Later, Spurs center Tiago Splitter sprained his knee and will need to rest for at least two weeks, and small forward Kawhi Leonard has a muscle strain and needs to rest for two weeks. Both of them avoided the All-Star weekend perfectly. .

David Stern chose Derrick Favors to fill Thiago Splitter's spot, and Kawhi Leonard was too late to fill because of an injury...

As a result, the Barkley team was weakened again.

Not only nine to ten, but also lost the only three insiders.

If Splitter doesn't play, Barkley's insiders only have Tuman and Tristan Thompson!

They need to play all the time!
Seeing how difficult it was for Tu Man, the fans' viewing index rose again.

Some fans even left a message on the NBA official website, asking them to give Tristan Thompson to the O'Neal team, strongly expressing——

We just love watching Tuman fight five...

Who are these people!

In the locker room, John Sumait was as used to the sun.

After all, Tu Man sat firmly across from him, for no reason, but to give him an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

"Let me just say a few words..."

The kids' heads are getting bigger!

Jeremy Lin secretly asked Tu Man:

"Ah Man, your coach is nagging, what are you talking about?"

Tuman said:
"I don't know either, Xiao Linzi!"

Jeremy Lin bumped him, lowered his voice and said:
"Don't call me Xiao Linzi!"

Tu Man laughed and said:

"It was you who called me Ah Man first, Xiao Linzi!"

Jeremy Lin said in embarrassment:
"Then what do you want me to call, Tu, or Xiaomanman?"

All the little Manman came out, and Tu Man seriously suspected that Jeremy Lin asked Sister Tao?

Don't dare to bully him anymore, put on a serious face:

"How about this, you call me Manzi, I call you Ahao, how about it?"

Jeremy Lin snapped his fingers, that's it!
Su Mait stopped and asked:
"Lin, what do you want to say?"

Jeremy Lin stood up without any panic, and said solemnly:
"Coach, I think what you said is too reasonable!"

Su Maite nodded in satisfaction:
"That's right, that's good, he's very enlightened!"

After thinking about it, I asked again:

"I think everyone is quite confused except you, why don't you share your experience?"

Jeremy Lin glanced at Tu Man, gritted his teeth, and fought!

Walking to the whiteboard, he coughed lightly.

With the most affirmative tone in the world and the most confident demeanor, I danced and started to perform:
"According to the coach's arrangement, we mainly play two tactics!"

Su Maite raised his eyebrows, and saw two tactics?
Sure enough, there is a future!
Jeremy Lin glanced at Su Maite and saw that he had no objection, so he said more confidently:
"The first one, the team is behind, what we have to do is very simple..."

After a pause, he spit out a sentence:

"Give the ball to Tuman!"

Su Maite kept nodding his head. Sure enough, he was a child taught by D'Antoni. His understanding is good!

Jeremy Lin added:
"The second tactic, the team takes the lead. At this time, everyone has to stand up and shoot as soon as they can, and if they can't shoot, they have the courage to shoot. If you can't shoot, don't worry, because..."

Habitually kept a secret, and then said:

"Because we have Tuman! If you miss the shot, he will grab the offensive rebound, then pass the ball back, yell XXX, and another one!"

"Clap clap clap..."

Su Mait took the lead in applauding, and there was warm applause in the locker room.

Steve Kerr looked like he had seen a ghost, staring, making a statue aside.

After a lot of difficulty, the applause subsided, and the players dispersed to find their own fun. He grabbed Su Mait and asked:

"John, what plane are you working on?"

Su Maite blinked and asked:

"As far as our lineup is concerned, besides fighting Tuman, is there a second way to go?"

Cole was taken aback for a moment, and then understood, clutching his waist and laughing loudly:

"John, you are such a smart horse riding!"

Sumait said modestly:
"To each other, to each other!"

After warming up, the game officially started.

Barkley's starting lineup is:

Point guard: Jeremy Lin
Shooting Guard: Landry Fields

Small Forward: Deshaun Williams

Power Forward: Tristan Thompson

Center: Tu Brutal

Su Maite did not stagger the use of Tu Man and Thompson. Obviously, he was going to break the can and let the man who broke the most defenses in the NBA accompany Tu Man to play the whole game...

The O'Neal team seemed very laid back, and the starting lineup was:

Point guard: Kyrie Irving

Shooting Guard: John Wall

Small Forward: Paul George
Power Forward: Blake Griffin
Center: DeMarcus Cousins

Is this going to play double point guard?
It can be seen that the O'Neal team was inspired by the first round of the playoffs last season, when the calf blood abused the sun.

At that time, Tu Man was also very ugly, even the only hope for the sun, but so what?

It's not like being thrown to death!
The O'Neal team is following the example of the Mavericks, using a powerful outside line to shoot their opponents to death!

Although Tu Man is good, can he defend three-pointers?
