Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

In the past few days, the Hornets won 1 game and lost 1 game.

The only starting players who can be called veterans now are David West and Korver.

Fortunately, both of them have the experience of winning championships. This valuable experience allows them to independently carry the team forward at this critical moment.

David West is the team leader who can replace Lien Feng. Although he cannot directly stand up and score when the team goes against the wind like Lien Feng, he can give these rookies confidence in the locker room and guide them.

How to move forward in this situation.

And Adelman immediately made adjustments to the lineup.

David West was placed at the third position, Korver's second position remained unchanged, and Jeff Green was placed at the ball-handling spot.

Jeff Green's height is indeed awkward for ball-handling, but his ball-handling ability is indeed good. It is not impossible to play as a ball-handling core.

Adel doesn't trust fringe players.

But the shortcomings of this lineup are also beginning to show up. Because of their height, everyone cannot be faster than smaller players. Although they are the best in physical fitness among players of the same height, they still lack speed.

And speed is the core of Adelman's coaching.

This lineup once made Adelman very uncomfortable. The things he is good at cannot be played properly in this lineup.

As a result, the team subsequently experienced a wave of three consecutive defeats.

A disharmonious atmosphere began to permeate the team.

Although... there is still David West to stabilize the morale of the army. But Adelman knows that if the team does not make adjustments at this time, whether it can enter the playoffs this season will be an open question.

Because Lian Fong has been playing for more than a month, the team is ranked third in the Western Conference at this time, but no one can guarantee that it can still maintain this ranking during Lian Fong's absence.

…

Lian Feng has heard some rumors.

Some wealthy teams have already begun to contact the Hornets' management.

Among them are big cities such as New York, Boston, Washington, and Philadelphia. Their meaning is simple, they want to win consecutive battles, and they are willing to pay a high price for it.

Those big city teams have had enough of losing and they desperately need a player who can lead them to victory.

As for Lian Feng’s injury?

You know, Lian Feng was only 25 years old at this time!

Judging from his age, he has not even reached his prime yet!

Although the knee ligament injury is likely to reduce his speed and explosive power, Lien Feng's big heart, shooting ability, and dazzling offensive methods will not. As long as he returns from injury and can regain 80% of his strength, it is worth a gamble.

bet.

As for the attitude of the Hornets, Lian Feng doesn't know.

But according to the agent, the teams that came to contact them all hit a wall.

Regarding this, Lian Feng is a little surprised. If the Hornets choose to trade themselves out at this time, they can exchange for good bargaining chips, and the healthy salary space will allow the team to continue to maintain championship competitiveness for several years.

possible.

But if they keep themselves, they will inevitably bear the risk of not being able to return to their peak. For example, Rose was ruthlessly traded after experiencing two serious injuries. Most of the time, only interests are concerned here, not friendship.

But the Hornets are obviously ready to keep themselves.

Then the team can also choose to fail directly. This may be the best option from the perspective of the management.

If they lose themselves, the team will definitely lose the hope of winning the championship. Then it is better to sacrifice one year and try to get a good pick in next year's draft. Plus the two draft picks from the trade, there will definitely be a lot of success next year.

Gained.

It’s just that the team just won the championship!

Will it be destroyed immediately in the second year?

However, if the team doesn't do this, there seems to be no way this lineup will advance to the playoffs.

Of course, there is another way, which is to work hard during this period and find a player who can temporarily replace you and help you get out of the predicament.

It's just that although the transaction will take several months to close, how can it be possible to find a replacement for him immediately in such a short period of time?

The team's current salary space is only over 8 million US dollars, and the hope of finding a star who can lead the team forward with this salary is almost slim.

The current problem for the team is the lack of ball-holding points.

Because of the wave of operations before the season, all the players on the team who could hold the ball were left. At that time, Adelman was worried about this matter, but he did not expect that his words came true.

Among the remaining players, all have assistive abilities greater than their ability to handle the ball, and defensive abilities greater than offensive abilities.

Lian Feng thought, maybe it would be good to have a player like Nick Young at this time.

We are not afraid of you holding the ball, not afraid of you being alone, or even afraid of you hitting the iron and stretching your hips on defense, but I am afraid that you do not have the ability to hold the ball.

Adelman is also adjusting and adapting, and is thinking about how to make this lineup work. Although he is a coach who plays "fast", it does not mean that he cannot play "slow".

However, the shortcomings of the lack of ball-holding points are too difficult to make up for. Although he thought about using some temporary players, after a few games, Adelman knew that he wanted those substitute players to replace the forwards in the short term. The role of Paul and even Bobby Jackson was completely

Impossible.

There are always a few buried gold.

What makes Adelman even more helpless is that he doesn't know what the team management means.

At this time, whether we should continue to work hard or start to fail, the management has no hint at all. If it is a failure, there is nothing wrong with it, but if you want to work hard, how about a wave of reinforcements?

Adelman has negotiated with George Sheen several times.

Every time the old fox just responded: "Wait a minute!"

Damn it, what on earth is that old guy waiting for!

The Hornets have experienced a 7-game losing streak. Since Lian Feng was injured, the team's record is 3 wins and 11 losses, directly at the bottom.

Adelman's mood became more and more irritable, and he began to get angry frequently during team training. He also began to try to recruit some players, such as Bai Qiao and Bibby, but without any surprise, they were rejected by the team management.

What on earth are they going to do!

Adelman couldn't stand it anymore and went directly to George Sheen, but this time George Sheen received him very patiently.

But this time after coming out of George Sheehan's office, Adelman had calmed down.

That old fox...

He actually performed such a cunning act.

It seems that the old fox really likes Lian Feng, so he is willing to continue to make such a bet for Lian Feng.

As long as the forward can return later in the regular season, George Sheehan will be successful.

But it still makes people very angry. Such a thing was not disclosed to a head coach like him. To be honest, it is quite unpleasant!

But Adelman also knows that in order for this operation to be successful, the fewer people who know about it, the better. If it is not kept secret enough, the success rate may be greatly reduced.

Overall, the results are pretty good.

The next day, the alliance was shocked by a piece of news.

Allen Iverson bought out his contract with the Nuggets, giving up about $5 million, and then announced his next stop, the Hornets, with a high profile.

33-year-old Allen Iverson is at the end of his career, but he can still play.

Here he comes.
