Chapter 241 Dialogue After Consecutive Losses (710)

In the next, the Bobcats ushered in the challenges of the Timberwolves and the Wizards respectively, but in these two games, the Bobcats finally lost the game regrettably.

In the game against the Timberwolves, in the face of this battle of revenge, the generals of the Bobcats played very resolutely.

The game was played at the last moment before the winner was decided. Even though he still lost the game in the end, Liu Rui still gave applause for his disciples.

Because this is a battle to lose.

It is also because of the victory over the Bobcats that the Timberwolves successfully squeezed out the Grizzlies in the West and are currently ranked eighth in the West.

And the loss against the Wizards in the second scene made Liu Rui feel unacceptable.

Throughout the game, the Bobcats made as many as 26 turnovers.

And when faced with a lot of open shots, he still missed the ball.

Except for the stable performance of Okafor and Wallace, the whole team feels very bad.

Especially Stoudemire, after joining the Bobcats, Stoudemire played smoothly.

Even if the game with the Timberwolves was finally lost, Stoudemire contributed 21 points and 7 assists in the whole game.

Absolutely impeccable in personal data contribution.

But facing the Wizards in this game, Stoudemire made 14 of 2 shots and 7 of 1 from beyond the three-point line. While only contributing 5 points and 4 assists, he also made as many as 5 turnovers.

Coupled with the outside double guns of the Bobcats starting lineup collectively misfired.

This allowed the Bobcats to take advantage of neither the starting lineup nor the second team.

In the end, the Wizards won the game.

The loss of these two games also made the Bobcats record from 27 wins and 26 losses to 27 wins and 28 losses, and the winning percentage fell below [-]% again.

And in the ninth position in the East, it was overtaken by the Cavaliers again and fell to tenth in the East.

The loss of these two games also has something to do with the Bobcats' intensive schedule at the end of the season.

Although Liu Rui has minimized the playing time of the main lineup, he has to travel long distances in each game and cannot get enough rest.

It also had some impact on the young players of the Bobcats.

After all, as the head coach of the team, although he has great authority on the court, he does not have the right to interfere too much in the private life of the players off the court.

At present, the young people of the Bobcats team are not bad, and no one has been involved in drugs, drag racing and other such bad things.

But the private indulgence of the players, after returning home, it is impossible for the team to monitor 24 hours a day.

Not getting a good rest in private, coupled with the intensive schedule, that's why in the game against the Wizards, there were many sleepwalking mistakes that shouldn't have been made.

Of course, these are also Liu Rui's personal guesses.

After all, in his previous life, Liu Rui saw this kind of thing a lot.

However, after losing these two games, the team also ushered in good news, that is, Eli the Beast's suspension was lifted.

It is already possible to make a comeback in the next game against the 76ers.

However, the current second team of the Bobcats is also a tactical system of its own.

So Liu Rui is also thinking more about Eli's comeback.

The orderliness of personnel means that Liu Rui can come up with more coping methods.

Just like the game the Wizards lost, once the player's touch is cut off, Liu Rui can completely come up with another lineup for a new style of play.

But this is a very brain-burning thing, although Liu Rui has too many tactics available in his mind.

But after all, this is not a game, not something that Liu Rui only needs to give a command, and the players can execute it.

But it takes a long time of training and cooperation to be able to achieve something.

…………

"Rui, the team suffered another two-game losing streak, and has slipped to the tenth place in the Eastern Conference. What are your plans for the next game?"

This is already the third time in the past few days that General Manager Smith has had a conversation with Liu Rui.

No wonder Smith is anxious, seeing that the team is almost able to qualify for the playoffs.

Then he suffered a two-game losing streak. This kind of feeling of thinking about heaven and thinking about hell really makes people feel a little sour.

What's more, for Smith now, the final results of the Bobcats this season will directly affect his personal career.

Although he doesn't know too much about the team's tactics, it doesn't affect his mentality of wanting the team to win, and he is even more eager than Liu Rui.

Because the re-employment of the general manager is more difficult than that of the coach.

Even if the Bobcats' final record this season stops here.

With these few mid-season deals for Smith, it is impossible to lose his job, but who doesn't want to make his career more perfect? !

"Oh, don't worry, the team loses, I am more anxious than anyone else as the head coach, but some things are beyond our control."

"The current team's second team, although it has Stoudemire and Jefferson, is very strong in scoring ability, but it has to be admitted that the defensive ability of the second team is really poor."

"Although the main players ultimately decide the outcome of the game, if a team has a strong lineup, it will definitely not be as difficult as it is now."

"Of course, I'm not shirking responsibility. As the head coach of the team, losing is my responsibility, so in the future, I will try my best to play every game well."

No matter how good the relationship between Liu Rui and general manager Smith is in private, it's time to discuss the team's affairs!It's business.

As Liu Rui said, the scoring ability of the team's second team is beyond doubt, but the defensive ability is really average.

On the back line, there are two small flying mice, Stoudemire and House.

The veteran Smith is at the small forward position, and Al Jefferson and Wang Zhizhi are inside.

On the entire bench, the five players all have their own characteristics on the offensive end, which is very good.

Even on paper strength, it definitely has a strong combat effectiveness.

But none of these five people is good at defense, not even one person who is good at defense.

As for Pachulia, he is still just a rookie, and his role on both ends of the offense and defense is very limited.

The role of the big buffalo white is relatively simple, and only at certain times can it have a greater role.

In addition, Karim and Eli are also offensive players.

The only Hart who is passable on the defensive end, Liu Rui has abandoned him for a long time.

After all, the season has passed for so long, and Hart's three-pointer still failed to meet Liu Rui's standard.

So in Liu Rui's system, Hart has been increasingly marginalized.

As the two talked, only the sound of their panting could be heard in the office, and the atmosphere seemed rather dignified...
