NBA bench saves national team

Orlando, USA.

In a basketball arena.

All members of the Thunder team are training to prepare for the game against the Magic tonight.

The first time the Thunder management announced the dismissal of Carlesimo, the Thunder players also got the news.

Carlesimo, who was supervising the training of the players in the training hall, turned and left angrily without saying a word after hearing the news.

Even though there was infinite resentment in his heart, he still kept the last sliver of face in front of the players.

I never expected that I would become the first head coach to dismiss get out of class in the new season.

Carlesimo knew that he had become a scapegoat for the management!

At the beginning of the season, the management made a clear request to him that the record is not important, what is important is the performance of the players, as well as the adjustment and running-in of the lineup.

But clearly the needs of management are changing.

When Qin Feng hits sky-defying statistics in a row, the management has a desire for victory.

It's just that they didn't communicate with Carlesimo, but directly chose to fire Carlesimo, which can be regarded as an explanation for the recent five-game losing streak to the fans and the media.

Watching the back of Carlesimo leaving.

The players looked at each other.

Some excited, some worried.

Because for them, this is not necessarily a good thing, nor is it necessarily a bad thing.

The management can't control who they want to coach them. The only thing they can do is to play basketball well and try to win every game.

"Can Brooks really be our coach? He has never been a head coach!"

A player asked worriedly.

The rest of the players shook their heads. After all, their understanding of Brooks was limited to the time they spent together this season.

Regardless of coaching ability, Brooks is indeed a mild-mannered and easy-to-get along coach.

In the entire Thunder team, only Qin Feng showed a happy smile.

Please remove the word "?"

Qin Feng complained silently in his heart.

Others don't know, but as a person who came from time travel, he knows Brooks very well.

After Brooks became the head coach of the Thunder, it only took three seasons to bring the Thunder to the Finals.

And now with Qin Feng joining, the Thunder team will rise faster.

"Believe in the new coach, our team will have a new look."

Qin Feng said, picking up the basketball on the ground and continuing to practice.

Everyone stopped thinking about it and threw themselves into training one after another. After all, no matter who the coach is, the game is always going to be played.

After less than half an hour, Brooks came to the training hall from the hotel.

clap clap clap!

"Guys, stop training first, I have something to say."

Brooks clapped his hands and said loudly, his eyes shining brightly, full of ambition.

After nearly 10 years as an assistant coach, now finally head coach of a team, he can't wait to show his skills!

Everyone gathered around, all staring at Brooks.

"I am very happy to be the head coach of the team. In the future, we will spend a lot of time together and get to know each other, but the most important task right now is the team's record."

"At present, we have lost 5 games in a row, and we are the last team in the Western Conference!"

"Losing is frustrating! I believe this is a result that everyone does not want to see."

"Next, I will make a lot of adjustments, hoping to make some changes in the team, and then strive to win some games and get out of the predicament!"

said Brooks, looking serious.

Record is the looming question.

Carlesimo was fired because of his poor record, and he didn't want to follow in Carlesimo's footsteps.

If the Thunder's record is still so bad in the future, Brooks must be the next head coach to dismiss him.

All the players are awe-inspiring and their faces are heavy.

The new official took office three fires.

If you want to make the team look brand new, you must change, break and build!

And these changes concern every player, and may even affect the career of some players.

"Tonight against the Magic, we need to change the starting lineup."

"Durant, you are still the starting small forward, and you have always been a small forward, and you will no longer swing between the 2 and 3 positions!"

"Jeff Green, you will be the power forward, and you will not swing to the small forward position again!"

"Watson, you go back to the bench, and the starting point guard is replaced by Westbrook."

"The positions of Qin Feng and Perot remain unchanged, and they are still the starting shooting guard and starting center!"

Brooks spoke very fast, the more he talked, the more satisfied he was with his adjustment.

As the assistant coach of the Thunder before, he has already studied the characteristics of each player of the Thunder, and he has studied the lineup for a long time.

Obviously, it is very inappropriate for Perot and Qin Feng to be paired in the starting lineup.

Perot's organizational ability is average, scoring ability is average, and defensive ability is average.

One average is understandable, but three averages add up to a deadly black hole on the court.

As a direct result, Qin Feng has a heavy load. Being both a father and a mother, he not only has to attack by himself, but also organizes the team's offense, and is also responsible for defending the opponent's outside scorers.

This requires a great deal of energy and stamina.

Obviously, Qin Feng's current level can't take care of both.

Although Westbrook is a rookie and has many shortcomings, his victory lies in his strong organizational skills and certain defensive skills.

It can share Qin Feng's pressure to the greatest extent.

In addition, Durant and Jeff Green competed for the small forward position before, and Durant had to swing to the 2nd position as a shooting guard.

This directly caused the two to get lost.

After playing for more than two weeks in the season, Durant's performance is not even as good as his rookie season, and his shooting percentage is even worse, only 41%.

Fixing Durant at the small forward position is to hope that he can play the offensive state of last season and increase the team's offensive ability.

Besides, Jeff Green has no problem playing power forward with his physical fitness. He will no longer compete with Durant for small forward and see how he will perform at the power forward position.

After listening to the coach's adjustments, the players had joys and sorrows.

The most exciting thing is Westbrook who has been sullen on the bench!

He was too eager to play and too eager to win.

However, Carlesimo did not give him a chance to perform at all. Not only did he put him on the bench, but he only played 16 minutes in each game.

Now that the team has changed coaches, Westbrook has completely got the important task of coaching!

Finally, I can release my love for basketball! !

Westbrook's eyes lit up, excited.

Seeing Wei Shao's expression, Qin Feng couldn't help feeling.

Westbrook has benefited the most from Brooks' operation.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finally appeared in the nba! !

This tortoise from the sewer finally has a chance to show himself to the world.

Playing the starting position is Westbrook's first step towards superstardom!
