Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

The weird game process, weird game ending, and weird game results all made the fans who came to support the Pacers feel helpless, hesitant and even disgusted.

In the 82 regular season games, even when running a marathon, there are still times when the mind wanders. Fans don’t pay much attention to the team’s victory or defeat, especially the games before the All-Star Game. They just focus on running the team and adjusting the lineup.

But he was suppressed and beaten by his opponent from the beginning to the end. You say it was a tragedy, but it wasn't that bad. In the end, he was able to recover;

But if you think there was a chance for a reversal, in the end, the fans were given a five-run iron, which directly ruined all hopes.

This feeling is as disgusting as eating a fly alive.

As the general manager of the team, Larry Bird certainly knows the process of the team's game, but he does not seek perfection. Who hasn't played like shit in a few games in his career? Just correct it in the next game.

But in their next away game against the Bucks, the Pacers once again gave their general manager a surprise.

"85-99! The Pacers suffered two consecutive defeats!"

After George scored only 12 points on 3-of-14 shooting in the previous game, on the second day of the back-to-back, George made 5-of-17 shooting and also scored 12 points.

For two consecutive games, the shooting percentage was less than 30%, and the number of hits was not even a fraction of the number of shots. This is absolutely unqualified performance for a leader.

So the fans ignored West, who made 3 of 12 shots, 3 of 9 shots, and Hill, who made 1 of 10 shots, and targeted George with all their strength.

"Ha, looking at his crazy look, I thought that No. 24 was really modeled after Danny Boss, but this is what happened?"

Although Granger is also a super ghost sometimes, he has no choice but to admit it when he loses and gets beaten.

"Yes, you are still following Danny the boss. Can you learn his shooting skills? You should first understand the concept of defense!"

"That's right, I'm surprised. How can this head coach see that George has something worthy of training? If you ask me, it's better to train Qi and directly train a shooter. When Danny boss comes back, let's

He just took off!”

"I feel the same way. I am more optimistic about Qi Tian."

The fans' harsh criticism did not immediately reach the team's ears.

The coaching team did not summarize past games as usual because they had to face inquiries from the team's general manager.

Brian Shaw followed Vogel and came to the general manager's office with Dan Bock, Jim Bone and others, feeling very uneasy.

Of course he has met Bird. After all, all signings require the general manager to come forward. It was in this office when he signed the contract with the Pacers.

But now, coming here with the coaching staff, and coming here after the team suffered two consecutive losses, Brian Shaw, who has not yet figured out the temper of the general manager, is naturally worried about what kind of criticism he will receive.

"Boss, we are here."

Vogel knocked on the door and walked in.

When Bird saw a few people coming in, he motioned for them to sit on the sofa next to him, and then went straight to read the newspaper in his hand.

broken!

The general manager must be very angry!

Brian Xiao was startled, and he quickly looked at the floor and sat on the sofa.

According to his experience, the general manager wouldn't come over until half an hour later. He learned this experience in Los Angeles.

At this time, only by straightening your back and showing your own attitude can the general manager feel your sincerity.

However, Bird did not do what Brian Shaw expected. He briefly read the battle report in his hand and walked over.

"Boss, I..."

Vogel was about to apologize first, but Bird interrupted him.

"Frank, you don't need to say anything. The management only wants to see results and doesn't care about the occasional losses in the regular season."

Vogel relaxed a little, but heard Bird continue,

"But just because they don't care, it doesn't mean that I don't care. Don't forget, I have also been a coach for several years."

His tone became stern.

"Others don't understand the team's performance in these two games. You don't think I don't understand it either, do you?"

Under the pressure of the strong aura, several assistant teachers swallowed in unison, with cold sweat breaking out on their faces.

"What the players show is their own problems."

Bird's sharp eyes like an eagle swept over the assistant coaches one by one and said word by word,

"But whether the team can help the players improve their problems is a matter for the coaching team."

"In the next games, I don't want the problems of the past few games to reappear. A good team should be the one that makes fewer mistakes!"

"Of course, of course, we have found the crux of the problem and will conduct targeted training soon to ensure that it will not happen again."

Vogel quickly defended his colleague.

Assistant coaches are theoretically part of the head coach's team. They were scolded, and Vogel's face was disgraced.

"That's best."

Bird turned to look at Vogel, then turned to several assistant coaches and said,

"Okay, you go back first, Frank stays."

"Okay, okay!"

The teaching assistants scrambled to their feet and escaped from this hellish office.

After closing the door and rushing to the elevator, a few people exhaled. Although they had been here for only a few dozen minutes, when they finally came out, they felt like they were in another world.

"Frank is miserable!"

After coming back to their senses, they began to express sympathy for Vogel, who was detained in jail.

But in the office, it's not what they imagined.

After a moment of silence, Bird spoke:

"Sorry, Frank, I said before that I would not interfere with the coaching team, but now I have broken my promise."

Of course Vogel did not dare to follow his words, but shook his head and said:

"It's our problem. The players' condition is maintained. It's because we have slacked off. That's why..."

"Don't talk about this anymore."

Bird turned back to his desk and waited for a while before looking at Vogel.

"Frank, I always believe in you on the team's defense, but on offense, I hope you can listen to the opinions of the assistant coaches."

"Boss is right, I will be right later..."

Vogel suddenly stopped talking.

He originally thought that the experienced Bird would use his experience to make requirements for the team, but unexpectedly, Bird made a surprising proposal.

"Wha, what?"

Vogel thought he heard it correctly, but Bird repeated it to make sure he heard it correctly.

"In terms of offensive tactics, I hope you listen to the assistant coach's opinions."

You want me to listen to the assistant coach? Then who is the head coach?

This is a big taboo of the head coach. Vogel instinctively wanted to refute, but thinking about the recent performance of the team and his own situation, he still sighed and said after a long time:

"You are right, offensively, I am indeed not as good as them."

"The coaching team is a whole, and everyone is giving their own strength for the progress of the team. If the team has made contributions, doesn't the big head still belong to you?"

Bird persuaded Vogel,

"I was able to become the best head coach because I believed in my team."

"I understand, boss."

Vogel sighed again and walked out of the room.
