The news said that Lawrence Frank was temporarily taking over the coaching position, and the Nets actually used him this season, and the players liked this good-natured guy.In the morning, Wang Jun went to the team to report on the training and found that Lawrence was earlier than him, and greeted him with a smile."
Jun Wang, good morning.After resting for so long, practicing more shooting in a while, I'm going to start you in the next game. ”Lawrence's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he said what Wang Jun wanted to hear the most.Wang Jun smiled: "Coach, please take care of me in the future." ”"Definitely, let's work together."
Lawrence patted Wang Jun on the back, as if the two had been friends for many years.Lawrence has no shelf.He was born in August '70, is only 33 years old this year, has a cheerful personality, and is a little childlike.He broke a record without playing a game and became the youngest NBA team manager in history.The previous record was held by the Warriors' coach, who last season straightened assistant coach Eric Marsailman and signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract at the age of 37.Lawrence is much more exaggerated, barely a veteran at 33 years old in the NBA, and Nets bench Robert Pike is a year older than him.The players arrived one after another, Lawrence chatted with everyone, and everyone congratulated him from the bottom of their hearts.Kidd was most excited, jumped up and had a passionate chest bump with Lawrence.Scott didn't understand what was wrong with him until he left, and the reason why everyone looked at him unpleasantly was actually very simple, he always held the coach's shelf, treated the players as subordinates rather than friends, and he put his position too high.The atmosphere in the team was completely different from that of pre-season training camp, with the lifeless players coming back to life en masse, talking and laughing, relaxed and excited.If this is the Indian team, now it's time for everyone to sing and dance together Wang Jun looked at the smiling people, his mind was open, and he fantasized that Kidd was standing in the front row and singing songs that fit the atmosphere, and everyone followed behind neatly twisting their waists and dancing together."
The king called me to patrol the mountains, I turned the world, beat my drums, beat my gong, and life is full of rhythm" Is this kind of atmosphere for the Nets team to change coaches, the players are training more seriously than before, everyone has a clear goal, and the end of the losing streak.Wang Jun used the shooting training card and quickly found his shooting rhythm, and the vacancy shooting rate was stable, and there was no change from before the ban.Kidd and the coaching staff were relieved.That night, Wang Jun flew to Seattle with the team on a special plane, and the opponent was SuperSonic.Just as the new edition of the official power rankings was announced, the Nets had fallen to 22nd place with 3 wins and 9 losses.The media was generally not optimistic about the Nets, and the pre-match predictions that the SuperSonics would win easily.There are also more people in Hekidd, and many people on the Internet believe that without Scott, the Nets can't win.Lawrence, the 33-year-old young coach, is a joke, and now the Nets are equal to no coach.The SuperSonics are currently 8-4 and are the biggest dark horse of the season.Before the start of the game, the players were given information sheets for the supersonic players.NBA scouts are very professional, and before the start of each game, they will send information to help players understand the opponent, and then the coach will formulate a strategy according to the opponent's lineup.Wang Jun has already confirmed the starter, but he doesn't know who to play against.The opponent's No. 2 position is none other than Ray Allen, whom Honacek is very optimistic about.The rise of the SuperSonics began with the addition of Ray Allen, who was a 1996 golden generation, with a well-rounded skill and accurate three-point strategy, and is currently averaging 223 points, 52 rebounds and 46 assists per game.Last season, Ray Allen missed the All-Star Game, and the team's shooting guard Michael Reid grew rapidly, and the Bucks felt that Ray Allen could be replaced by Reed.On the other hand, Payton is tired of the mediocre SuperSonics management, and the SuperSonics are ungrateful to get rid of the old Peyton who contributed all his youth to it, on the grounds that Peyton's temper is too bad.In the end, the two sides hit it off.Anti-Thunder Allen Wang Jun is under a lot of pressure and it is not easy to deal with small forwards, and the supersonic forward is Vladimir Radmanovic, a big man who is good at shooting three-pointers.He is 208 tall, averaging 118 points and 44 rebounds per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 393, good at opening up space in the bottom corner and side, and his style of play is similar to Wang Jun.The supersonic power forward is also different, Rashad Lewis, who set the record for the longest time in the dark room that year, averaging 178 points and 65 rebounds per game and shooting 376 three-pointers.Lewis, who is 208 tall, can shake off opponents with his feet in the low post and has the best speed on the inside.He also has excellent shooting ability and can open up space for his teammates to break through.Supersonic point guards are weaker, Antonio Daniels.This lineup is fast, Daniels has average assist ability, but he can rush forward to break through and score.Several of the SuperSonic's centers are pure blue-collar workers, not necessarily who starts, which is similar to the Nets.On the bench, the supersonic has Brent Barry, who "white people can fly", who is accurate and experienced.Luke Ridno, the 14th pick in the first round, could also play a role.The game was broadcast live on the radio.Barkley was on the scene and analyzed before the game: "The SuperSonics are currently on a five-game winning streak and are gaining momentum, while the Nets are losing two in a row, which makes it feel like they have lost their fighting spirit.I think supersonic has a bigger chance of winning. ”Kenny Smith laughed, "This is Lawrence Frank's first game as a professional coach, and he looks like he's smug and talking to Kidd or something.He's probably the luckiest career changer, and hasn't even heard a full coaching class.Having interviewed Galfunkel before, he couldn't believe it. ”Gafunkel is the director of the Five Star Basketball Camp, which has produced more than 300 college and NBA coaches.Lawrence himself had never played basketball, but was just a hobbyist, and he couldn't enter the training camp at the beginning, so in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a basketball coach, he wrote a letter to Gafunkel, who was moved by his sincerity and arranged for him to go to the commissary of the training camp to do chores and learn basketball knowledge by the way.Frank worked in that commissary for four years, working and studying, and learned a lot.Unexpectedly, this commissary guy became the head coach before everyone in the same period, and he is simply the protagonist of YY's novel.After reading the information, Kenny Smith smiled: "Chinese fans will definitely be happy today, Wang Jun is not only back in the team, but also in the starting list."
This year, the Nets' defensive skills are still there, and they don't concede many points, their problem is offense, and someone has to stand up and score, which is probably the reason why Wang Jun is reused. ”Barkley nodded: "The SuperSonics are the opposite, they win on offense, they are one of the best three-point teams in the league, and they prove that you can play well without Payton." ”Smith said with some regret: "Now Payton is not in a good situation with the Lakers and has been reduced to a role player.Maybe that's not the right team for him. ”Players from both sides stood in the center circle, and the Nets started: Kidd, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Martin, Collins.SuperSonics starters: Daniels, Ray Allen, Rademanovic, Lewis, Evans.Wang Jun is very excited, the opportunity is in front of him, he must seize it:
