Chapter 317 Sanders's Intention
The Pistons broke at home for a while. I'm afraid the person with the greatest pressure is Sanders, who took over the Pistons after Larry Brown led the team to win the championship, which is a very dangerous challenge in itself.
If you take out Sanders' results alone, although this guy is not excellent, he still does a good job.
In the two All-Star Games 04 and 06, this guy can be called the leading coach of the West and East respectively, which in itself shows that he has a certain coaching ability, at least in terms of record, he can meet the requirements of many people.
And in 2006, he won the honor of the best coach of the month in the Eastern Conference twice. Anyway, he is a powerful person. Although he is not as spicy as Larry Brown, the results he can achieve are reasonable.
The team that got this guy to Detroit to take over Larry Brown did not cause much trouble, and he also led the team to a good regular season record in last season.
Only in the Eastern Conference finals, they were defeated by Wade and O'Neal, who were fighting at that time, and failed to reach the finals, but the process of the game was not very bad, and the Heat would feel lucky after winning.
Generally speaking, after taking over the Pistons, Sanders was more than enough to defend the city and not enterprising, but the Detroit media has never criticized him. Even when Ben Wallace left the team, the Detroit press did not push down the team and the coach, but many people can see that the Pistons are gradually slipping. Slope.
Age, player status, salary structure, many problems piled up together, and there will be such problems. When that kind of problems break out, the departure of "Big Ben" is just a beginning, and it will decline.
No matter what kind of team, there is no guarantee to be the hegemon forever. After the glory, the Celtics have been silent for a long time. Therefore, everyone knows that the Pistons will always fall from the peak, and they can't admit it.
It's just that Detroit fans also hope that Sanders can improve the team's performance a little while the Pistons have not completely disintegrated and those champion teams still exist, and it's better to reach the finals again.
But compared with Larry Brown's tough old man who dares to offend Iverson to the end, Sanders has been slandered by many people since he coached the Timberwolves, and his coaching style is soft.
Especially when shaping the team's style, he pays more attention to scoring, and this guy may rarely take the initiative to do what kind of temperament to instill in the team, and it is more up to the players to decide.
Minnesota has the wolf king Garnett, so the soft style is not obvious. At least there is a screaming leader. There are not many problems about the coach's personality, and they will even be ignored.
After the Pistons, the team's defense is very tough. The part that Sanders needs to transform the team can only be offensive. Larry Brown's defensive system can't be easily dismantled.
This guy was also a success for a while. His 64-win regular season results and the playoff results of the Eastern Conference Finals were a good answer in his first year of coaching.
However, this season's obvious record has declined, especially in the regular season, with only 53 wins and 29 losses. In the competition in the central division, it has lost to the Bulls, Cavaliers, Pacers, and the division results are only 9 wins and 18 losses.
This is already enough to make Detroit fans feel dissatisfied. They have lost 11 more games than last season, and the most obvious is the winning rate at home. They lose at home.
The away performance did not fluctuate, but it was cut off by the opponent one after another at home. In this competitive state, Detroit's fans must not be able to stand it. If it hadn't been for the first round to sweep the Magic, it is estimated that this dissatisfaction would have erupted long ago, but the volcano will always be sprayed once, and losing to the Celtics is a fire. Point.
If language can evolve into a substantial attack, then Sanders must have pierced his heart at this moment. For the first time, this guy felt that his life in Detroit was so difficult.
There is a successful predecessor who makes a benchmark there. No matter what you do, you will compare it with others. This is not something you can refuse if you want or don't want to, but it actually exists in people's ideas.
"What we want is not a four-like piston! We are not Phoenix, not Dallas! We are not a bombarding team! Give us back that championship team!"
In the two days after the Pistons lost the game, the waves were higher than the waves, and even the fans were shouting to let Sanders get out of here and let his soft style disappear in Detroit.
If Sanders is like Pat Riley, he may have a way to deal with crisis public relations. The eloquent "divine operator", even if he is at a disadvantage, he can turn from danger.
This season, the Heat was eliminated as the defending champion. Riley also has to face a lot of pressure, but this guy can always find an excuse for himself when facing the media.
This is the advantage of the old world. Even if the situation is unfavorable, he can find an opportunity to take it out for himself.
Although there are a lot of fans who scolded in Miami, few of them shouted to let Riley go.
And the old guy also has a way to retreat for progress. At worst, he won't be the head coach, but the team manager is still him. Isn't it easy to find a successor? Any one who helps can block bullets for him.
Anyway, he has won the championship, and Riley's success is what he wants. Moreover, when trading veterans and taking responsibility, someone still has to come to top the tank. The old deep-fried dough sticks will not become the target of public criticism.
It is estimated that the old man has such life-saving skills and run away at the critical moment. Ordinary people really can't catch him.
However, not everyone knows this skill, and it is not that simple to find a successor who can attract hatred. Once it is not well controlled, it may be a fire, so those old guys are all human beings.
Pat Riley is like this, and so is Phil Jackson. I only heard that there is a stalemate between the management of the Lakers and Kobe, but I have never heard of the "Zen Master" being awkward. This is the wisdom that smart people know.
But Sanders was a little bored. After the Timberwolves, he was forced to leave Minnesota because of communication problems with the media and the team's performance began to decline.
It's the same this time. After the game, Sanders didn't say anything, and the media thought that this guy was acquiesced!
Although the management of the Pistons still supports the head coach's results in the past two seasons, the fans' reversal is definitely a sharp sword, which can hurt a lot of things, such as Sanders' confidence.
If you just talk about the results of the regular season, Sanders has done a good job. He can bring the Pistons to the position of the top of the East in the regular season for two consecutive seasons. This report card is eye-catching.
But it is a rule for the team to slip from the peak. This does not mean that you can change this state just by on-the-spot command or encouragement. After all, if you play one more season, the player's age and injury will continue to accumulate.
If the Pistons don't change their blood, they will rely on this lineup. Sooner or later, it will be a disintegration situation. The fans don't consider these issues, but Sanders can only support it by himself now.
But it is undeniable that in the second round of the East, the home advantage lost a game first, which must be a very passive situation. What Sanders can now consider is how to keep the second game and then win back in Boston.
In the first year, he reached the Eastern Conference Finals. If he can't even pass the second round this season, Sanders knows how bad his situation will be. The dismissal of the coach is never news in the NBA world.
Sanders can take over Larry Brown's position. Similarly, he also has to deal with the precarious situation. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, no one can guarantee a bad guy.
Anyway, there is a precedent between "Little General" Johnson and Little Van Gundy. Sanders can also smell that the little storm of management looking for a scapegoat is brewing. If he really doesn't fight well, he must be the first to be taken down.
"Dogg's guy is really lucky." Communication with the media became a problem, but when Sanders discussed the tactical arrangements for the game with his coaching team, he talked about Rivers with envy.
There is no score requirement. You can let go and take the Celtics to hit any opponent. If you can change it, Sanders really doesn't mind going to Boston to try the water instead of suffering here.
"He can only be free this season. During the summer transfer, they will definitely have a big move. Next season, he will also be under a lot of pressure. After being dormant, Boston will always look forward to a big outbreak."
Although Sanders' assistant coach also envies Rivers, who is stress-free at this moment, he knows better that this season's free training is that Bostonians are accumulating energy to welcome a wild return.
Give Rivers Rivers a season. If there is any decline in his performance next season, the pressure will be crushed by the fat guy.
This is the case with NBA coaches. The danger of being fired will always be around you. You can be as indifferent as a "Zen master", but few of them. First of all, you have to have a perfect report card.
What Sanders lacks now is enough playoff results, especially this season. If he wants to meet the wishes of the management and fans to kill the Celtics and get close to the Eastern Conference finals, it is just the first step.
"Forget it, don't think about the fate of the other party next season. The problem we have to deal with is how to keep the next home advantage. If the Celtics leave with a score of 2:0, I can guarantee that everyone here will become a thorn in the side of the Pistons fans, and those guys will dismantle our cars. . "
Although Sanders is talking about these things in a joking tone, the coaching staff are very clear that this is definitely not a joke. If they lose another game, they really don't have to hang out in Detroit.
Most of the Pistons' fans are big men. If you make those blue-collar workers furious, you can imagine that Sanders' coaching results are bound to become the main reason for these guys to vent their anger.
The last time Auburn Palace made a headline in the newspaper was a group fight. This time, no one wants to see this scene reappear. If it is a fan coach, it will be even more lively.
"Well, guys, we haven't been eliminated yet, so there is still a chance, but we have to solve some problems, such as the Celtic No. 99. If we can't deal with him, we will all be in trouble."
Sanders interrupted the fantasies of his coaching staff members that made them shudder, and turned the attention of these guys back to the analysis of the game, and Chen Feng's score was the top priority.
A rookie, the best rookie of the season, and a beast that can break the Pistons' inner defense. Because of the existence of such a guy, many of Sanders' tactical adjustments have been invisible.
Especially in the rotation of insiders, Chen Feng has committed a lot of fouls, but his lethality has still brought a lot of trouble to the Pistons. Davis, Wallace, and McDais, who came on the field later. These big guys have all suffered losses. At the critical moment, you always don't know how this boy will deal with it. Attack.
This is definitely the problem that makes Sanders scratch his head the most. If he really strives for comprehensive quality, Rashid Wallace can have the upper hand in both experience and comprehensiveness.
But that little rabbit No. 99 doesn't play with you at all. He just beats himself.
He doesn't think about those things about the opponents around you, and what makes Sanders helpless is that Chen Feng's offensive methods are not formal at all.
Although Chen Feng has been training for almost a season under Takanian and Xibodu, the things he practiced on the street with Hammond have almost become a habitual reaction.
Just like when encountering Wallace's defense, Chen Feng's mid-range shooting may not be so accurate, but his on-the-spot adaptability and small means can always cause you trouble one after another.
"It's not a sharp height and has strong muscles, but I'm afraid the most annoying thing about him is his control of the body and the ability to adjust the shape of his hand before action."
The assistant in charge of game analysis also seems a little helpless next to him, because if you take out Chen Feng's attack carefully, you will find that there are some opportunities and the timing of the shot may not be good, but that guy always makes adjustments before pushing the basketball out, the shaking of the wrist, and the feeling of the fingertips. Good.
This is a natural feeling. If you can't envy it, there's nothing you can do. Even if Rashid Wallace bumps into such an opponent, he can only say that he is very angry, but he can't stop it.
There's nothing you can do. Have you ever seen a guy who is nearly 210 meters away from behind his back in front of you, but plays throwing like a defender? And he didn't do it all at once!
Rashid Wallace was sent off, because the anger was always suffocated in his chest, which made this guy too depressed. He had blocked the angle several times, but the guy was an unconventional all kinds of weird.
After three or four meters left in the basket, he began to pick the basket, ran and threw, and the three-step layup could pull you out a pull rod in the air. Wallace really wanted to ask this boy, your sister, are you here to show your abdominal muscles?
But this can't be stopped, and Chen Feng's feel was completely practiced on the street. Hammond dared to compete with Dr. J's scoring freak, and he didn't compete for offensive ability at all.
Anyway, Chen Feng was taught by him. Although it is not a position, the feel is not bad. If the main scoring ability is not good, no one will take you to play on the street.
And the confrontation and small actions on the street are far more intense than the NBA, especially in those places where gangs gather. If you want to stop you, it is all kinds of twists and falls. Chen Feng's coordination ability is all played in this way.
This boy can even the street basketball court in the southwest of Texas, relying on this attack.
Unrud attack, unscrupulous impact, Chen Feng's existence is to give Sanders an invisible pressure. Without this boy's reckless destruction on the inside line, maybe the Pistons would not have been defeated in the end.
At least Sanders knows very well that without Chen Feng, his tactical change would not be so hesitant. It was the fierce bald boy who disturbed his arrangement and disrupted the rhythm of the Pistons.
His existence is a fatal threat to the Pistons, which is undeniable, although the boy's mouth and behavior are strongly provocative.
But Sanders dares to say that no one will not like that he has such a player under his command. He can create miracles for you, just like the first game. Without him, the Celtics would not be so tough.
If a person can influence a team, Sanders will believe that Chen Feng's appearance is the main driving force for the Celtics, and he can provide too much destructive power.
And you really don't know what earth-shaking things this boy will do in the next second. This kind of attribute that will explode at any time is really terrible.
Wallace and Davis have the strongest power that Sanders can mobilize. If neither of these two guys can block the inside line, then don't expect the smaller McDace to create any miracle.
"A rookie will not be without weaknesses. Find it, and then... enlarge it and want to win. Start with destroying their strongest point and defeat the hidden danger of the inside line, so that we can successfully counterattack."
Sanders patted Chen Feng's name heavily, as if he had found a breakthrough point, giving orders to all the members of the coaching staff.
If Chen Feng was defined by Sanders as a threatening offensive focus before the first game, then at this moment, his threat has surpassed Pierce and Jefferson.
At least in Sanders's mind, the danger of the No. 99 bald boy has reached a peak.
If you don't want to get rid of the tragic reality of being killed again, then find a way to stop the tough bald head from continuing to rage. Otherwise, the hard life of the Pistons is still behind.
After the Celtics lost a home advantage of the Pistons, the Eastern boss is also in action...
