NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 156 Depressed Warriors Head Coach
Montgomery accepted Mullin's invitation on May 5 this year and officially became the coach of the Warriors.

Prior to this he did not have any experience coaching NBA teams.

But in the NCAA, Montgomery is famous.

In the past 18 seasons, he has led Stanford University to the NCAA National Championship 16 times, and in the last 10 years, he must enter every year.

今年57岁的蒙格马利四次当选太平洋10分区最佳教练，其中包括在2003-04赛季他带领斯坦福大学取得30胜2负的骄人战绩，其中包括26连胜。

This is also the 10th consecutive year that Stanford has won more than 20 games.

In the 18 years of coaching Stanford University, Montgomery's coaching record was 547 wins and 244 losses, with a winning percentage of 69.2%. He deserves to be the "Godfather" of Stanford University's basketball.

Despite his impressive college coaching record, Montgomery's NBA coaching path is still worrying.

And Liu Rui, who came back from a later life, is indeed very clear about this point.

Marley did not succeed at all in the NBA, but his coaching philosophy is ahead of this era.

It's a pity that he has slightly advanced thinking, but he doesn't have the same advanced vision as Liu Rui.

But Liu Rui was really interested in Marley.

After all, it is really rare to be able to have a different basketball concept at this time.

It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time, but it is actually wrong to say that. After all, although Marley suffered setbacks everywhere in the Nba, in the Ncaa, he is indeed the real godfather of basketball.

Because there are few successful coaches who jumped from the NCAA to the NBA, the former Pitino, Floyd and others are vivid examples.

I am afraid that it is precisely for this reason that Duke University "Godfather" Kokizewski is unwilling to be the coach of the Lakers this summer.

But Liu Rui can only be said to be famous because of some eye-catching incidents, but on the basketball court, so far, he has not had any honors that he can show.

If the winning rate of coaching in the regular season of his career is 100%, and three wins and zero losses count as honor, then Liu Rui still has honor...

So even though he loves talents, Liu Rui doesn't have the strength to win over this old man at all.

After all, unlike Stevens, Stevens is only an assistant coach during college so far.

That's why I feel excited and honored by the invitation of NBA head coach Liu Rui.

And Stevens was a very hard-working coach in his previous life, so Liu Rui dared to include him in his camp ahead of time.

Because after arriving in the NBA, he will face greater pressure. With Stevens' temperament, he will only work harder to improve himself.

On a bigger stage, he will grow even faster.

But Marley is already the godfather of basketball in the NCAA, a prominent figure.

In terms of personal honor, it is almost a few blocks away from Liu Rui.

So Liu Rui was waiting, also waiting for the day when Marley left the NBA in despair after get out of class.

And when he could only be forced to leave the NBA, Liu Rui was able to gain a firm foothold in the NBA and even get better.

At that time, it will be clear at a glance whether superiors or inferiors will be judged.

So for this game, Liu Rui not only wants to win, but also tries his best to win a big victory. The bigger the point difference, the better! !

"Remember what I told you yesterday, we must let go of this game and play without any reservations."

"Different from the Suns game, when facing the Suns, I didn't let you go up and let go to play because the Suns are very strong."

"It's impossible for us to beat the Suns when we play normally."

"But in this game, the Warriors' lineup is very weak. We have no reason to lose, so we must go all out to win this game."

"The Warriors are one of the weakest opponents in this period of the schedule. If we can't win this game, we will only play harder in the future, so let's go and play everyone."

Before the game started, Liu Rui explained to the players again.

If even a team like the Warriors can't win on the road trip, then the subsequent games will only be more difficult to play.

After all, it is impossible to expect the Bobcats to have a touch far above average in every game.

Before the start of the game, Liu Rui and Marley hugged on the sidelines of the game. After all, both of them are considered to be their first seasons in the NBA, and the team's current record is not considered friendly.

After the start of the game, because Fisher's offensive ability in the backcourt of the Warriors was very average, Liu Rui arranged for Kapono to play against him.

Instead, let Duhon defend the Warriors' strongest player, Richardson.

Although the two teams are mainly three-point shooting teams, but on the defensive end, the Warriors and the Bobcats are simply very different.

Bobcats have Wallace, Trevor Ariza, Duhon three very good defensive players.

On the defensive end, the Warriors are either defending black holes or defending averagely. They really can't come up with a player who is good at defense.

Facing the sharp offense of the Bobcats, the Bobcats ended the half with:
57:42
Leading the Warriors by as much as 15 points.

Entered the halftime break, due to the victory over the Suns in the last game, coupled with the full offensive firepower of the Bobcats in the previous three games.

So the fans were not shocked by the performance of the Bobcats at halftime. After all, some things get used to it just by looking at them.

Back in the second half, Marley still didn't make any adjustments. After all, these are the only people the Warriors can use, and there is really no possibility of adjustments.

Murphy is facing Wallace, no matter how you adjust him, he will be 100% the master of being exploded.

And if Murphy is not used, the Warriors' offense on the offensive end will become more constipated.

Instead of being beaten passively, there is still a glimmer of hope for Biao's attack.

At the end of the three quarters, the Bobcats still ended with:
82:67
Leading the Warriors by as much as [-] points.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, after playing for a few minutes, Marley saw that there was no hope of winning, so he also directly replaced the main lineup.

Announce that the game has officially entered garbage time.

After all, it has been proven in the first three quarters that the Warriors are no match for the Bobcats at both ends of the offense and defense.

This made Montgomery feel depressed all the time.

Obviously the Bobcats' record is very poor, but it was discovered after the fight that the Bobcats' offensive firepower is so fierce.

Compared with himself standing on the sidelines with a sad face, and then looking at the Bobcats coaching bench, Liu Rui was sitting off the court talking and laughing with Bickerstaff and the others.

I also ate two bunches of grapes from time to time, it was heaven on one side and hell on the other.

Obviously, everyone is also a rookie head coach, and they also lead teams that are at a bad level.

And Marley is at least the godfather of basketball in the NCAA.

This Liu Rui is said to have no coaching experience before coaching the NBA.

But the final difference between the two is indeed so big.

Thinking of this, Marley felt even more depressed...
