Chapter 114
If the head coaches in the league can be divided into three levels in terms of talent, then Yun Chen believes that Stevens must be one of the first level.

This is not only because of his strong control over the team's tactics and players, but also because of his vision and a championship heart.

He is a very visionary leader, this is Yun Chen's evaluation of him.

"To be honest, Lee, there is no team in the league that can compete with the Warriors. They are too strong. Whether it is tactics or players, they are at a historical level. What we can do is to use resources in the future. It’s not realistic to think about defeating them with all your might.” Stevens continued, and he told Yunchen what he was thinking without reservation, just like Owen yesterday, just the two of them The angles of analysis are different, one is for oneself, while the other is for the future championship.

"So, that's why you gave up on Irving? It's not because he doesn't adapt to your system, but because he might not be able to become the core of your team in the future?" Yunchen's mind turned quickly, thinking of Steve Meaning in Vince's words.

He actually didn't give up on Irving because of his style of play, but because of his injuries, which cast a shadow over Irving's future career. Stevens obviously didn't want to take the risk of putting everything on Irving.

"His style of play is indeed not suitable for my system, but this is not an unsolvable problem for me. The system is dead, but people are alive. Naturally, I can create tactics that suit him, but I cannot. Take a big bet on him, look at Wade, you know, his knees are starting to fade at 32 years old," Stevens said.

When Stevens finished speaking, Yunchen sat in her seat and watched him remain silent for a long time.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

Because he suddenly felt that this alliance was really a cold-blooded and ruthless business alliance.Although Irving did not grow up in the Celtics, he has made some contributions and handed over his future to Stevens, but Stevens only because of the sequelae of injuries he may have in the future Just want to give up on him.

This has to be said to be a difficult thing to accept.For players, they are really a vulnerable group. The right to stay or leave is almost in the hands of others. Unless you are strong enough, you can only follow the arrangements of others.

Many players have ruined their careers because of a certain decision of the team. He doesn't know if Irving will be like this in the future, but, for now, he feels sorry for Irving.

Yunchen and Stevens chatted for a long time, and he didn't come out of the small restaurant until after one o'clock in the afternoon, when it was almost time for the team to assemble.

Of course he will not leave the Cavaliers. Although going to the Celtics may be a better choice for him, he is not a person who likes to hug his thighs. He wants to help the Cavaliers return to the top through his own efforts.

Moreover, the current Cavaliers have made some improvements.

When he returned to the team, he was still a little later than the stipulated time.The training in the afternoon is just for warm-up, so the intensity is not high, basically just some touch and shoot training.

In the middle of the time, Yunchen took the time to call Tai Lunlu aside, and told him what Owen said.

Tyronn Lue was very surprised when he heard it, because he was there when Irving said he was leaving last year and witnessed his resolution and decisiveness with his own eyes. Now when he suddenly heard that he was coming back, he was really frightened.

"What you said is true?" The expression on Tai Lunlu's face was extremely exciting. Yunchen felt that he should record it and put it on China's Douyin, and then add a piece of music, which would definitely attract a large audience.

He nodded, and then told him what Owen meant and some of his guesses.

"Don't tell anyone else about this, I'll go to Altman to discuss it." Tyronn Lu nodded after hearing this, and then rushed to the general manager's office without saying a word.

Yun Chen didn't follow behind, so she didn't know anything about it.However, after he returned to the court, he took his tactical board and arranged many tactics for his teammates while Tyronn Lue was away.

This was all he came up with when he couldn't sleep last night. Basically, it was all formulated for the Celtics' common tactics, and it should be able to play a role tonight.

The teammates were obviously used to the days when Yunchen was the head coach, and they all gathered around and listened carefully, and no one was surprised by this.

The game was scheduled to be at 7 o'clock tonight. When the Cavaliers' warm-up and tactical training were over, it was already close to five o'clock. The audience began to enter the field one after another, and they all returned to the locker room to rest.

The Celtics players have also arrived at the arena. Yunchen saw Irving and Stevens in the player tunnel, and they all said hello.

He felt a little weird, because the current Celtics can really be said to be in harmony, the generals have their own thoughts, and it is only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

After six o'clock in the evening, Tyronn Lue, who had disappeared for an afternoon, finally appeared in front of everyone. He stayed in the general manager's office for a long time.

Soon, the time for the start of the game was approaching, and players from both sides came to the court to start the last warm-up training before the game.

The Cavaliers' lineup remains unchanged tonight, while the Celtics' official lineup has undergone some changes from before.

Originally, they started Jaylen Brown at the second position, but today they mentioned Tatum to the starting lineup. This is the first time they have set up like this this season.

Others might not be able to see anything, but Yunchen was very sensitive to Stevens' decision, and immediately thought of some possibilities.

The Celtics' change is obviously not only for Irving. Others are also Stevens' goals. As long as they don't meet his requirements and ideas, they will definitely be replaced slowly.

Thinking about it this way, Horford and Marcus Morris shouldn't be far away from being replaced, after all, they are already very old.

Thinking of Morris, Yunchen couldn't help thinking of some things that happened between the two of them before.

When it comes to the All-Star voting, Morris has always had a problem with him getting the first place in the Eastern Conference. Even if Yunchen's current average data is already impressive, he still can't change his mind.

During the warm-up before the game, Morris had been watching the Cavaliers in their half. At the same time, as long as he could meet Yun Chen, he would make faces and provoke him, just like a stabbing player .

"This old thing, I'll see you later!" Yun Chen rolled his eyes, trying not to look at that idiot.

Soon, the game started on time at seven o'clock, the substitutes of both sides returned to the bench, and the starters came to the center circle.

Both lineups:

The Cavaliers haven't changed.

Celtics: PG Kyrie Irving, SG Jayson Tatum, SF Gordon Haywood, PF Marcus Morris, C Al Horford.
