Chapter 389 If You Want to Run Away, You Won’t Give Me Any Grass.

This post-game interview was different from the past. The reporter's questions were very pointed. Mavericks general manager Toby Knight could only laugh and push away all these questions. But the fact is...the Mavericks really have no choice on tomorrow's deadline. No matter what action you take, continue to do it. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

So the question returned to this game, to the tactical battle between the Mavericks and the Bulls in the final quarter.

…

"Coach Motta, we saw in the last quarter of the game that the Mavericks came up with a very risky four-back lineup. This was too rare in previous games, but the effect was remarkable. Is this tactic for Li Liang?" Tailor-made and use this to give full play to his all-round advantages?"

"You asked very well!" Motta wiped his hair and began a long speech meaningfully, "I have been thinking about how to maximize Li's role, and this time it is just an attempt. The effect is Met my expectations.”

Did the effect meet your expectations?

When the reporter heard this, he immediately thought Motta was awesome, but Li Shengli, Kidd, and Curry looked at each other and were surprised how could this person be so shameless?

Didn't you give up when you were 18 points behind in the final quarter? Didn't Li Fei want to take a gamble and force the Bulls to shamelessly resort to killing tactics? How come in the end, it turned out to be your arrangement and it met your expectations? You don’t brag like this, so at least you have to tell everyone.

…

"The responsibilities of each position on the field have always been clear, but I want to say that some things are not static. We need more attempts. My point is precisely the blurring of positions... It is not a tactic. I just ask my players to be Do more and be more comprehensive instead of sticking to the rules, just like the lineup at the end of this game." Motta said again, and everyone's reaction was still the same.

God damn location blurred!

Isn’t this talking about a super giant player?

And this blur also has limitations. You can't let the center control the ball and shoot from the outside, right?

Another one, how much do you want to pay me? Let us move from position one to position five. I really think everyone is a magician, but you don't want to see if they care about you? If you want the horse to run away and don't give you any grass, you are just thinking about it!

…

Motta lingered for half an hour, and the post-match interview finally ended.

Even though there are cultural differences between the East and the West, some things are still the same, because the content of the interview is all nonsense about being proud despite defeat, plus a piece of "singing praises", while Li Shengli, Kidd, Curry, and Crotty looked bad. Walk out of the arena together.

"Damn, I'm so angry. What are you trying to develop new tactics? Is that his arrangement? He just knows how to take credit for himself. This kind of person even thinks he is useless when he coaches in the NCAA. I really want to rush up and give him two Slap!" Kidd was a young man with a more intense attitude.

"Oh my god, you're a little angry today!" Curry joked.

"Brother, don't talk about me, aren't you angry yourself?" Kidd rolled his eyes, "Crottey, tell me, are you angry or not? Do you want to hit him?"

"You decide!" It's okay that Crotty didn't speak. Kidd was stunned when he spoke. But if you think about it carefully, Crotty might actually be able to do it.

"I say you two should save it. What's the use of talking loudly."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Ask Li, no one's opinion matters now!"

…

ask me?

Still need to ask?

Li Shengli was in a much more depressed mood than Kidd and the others.

From the current point of view, Motta, the head coach, is really a bit careless, and can even be said to be a cancer for the Mavericks. Maybe it is a bit serious to say this, but if you think about it carefully, the head coach's responsibilities are not just about formation and formation on the field. Commanding on the spot is more about motivating the team members' mentality and convincing them.

From this point of view, Motta did not realize his value. On the contrary, he did a terrible job for the Mavericks. Regardless of his character, the role of the head coach has been compromised, so it is not only for the players. , the same goes for the team.

This is not a drama about the players squeezing out the head coach, but the fact that the stretched Mavericks want to make progress and can let go of reinforcements first. A coaching change must be a top priority!

"I'll talk to Nate about this."

"This is best. We will go with you when the time comes. We can't let you take the blame for ousting the head coach alone!" Kidd and others responded, still relatively fair.

"It's not wrong. Knight's ability to become the general manager proves that he is not stupid. There are only a few people in the team. It's impossible for him to not know if there is any movement. He will do something without even asking us to tell him." Li Shengli added with a calm face. He said, "Ignore these things for now, our record is very dangerous. If we can't even make the playoffs, then what qualifications do we have to negotiate conditions? We have to work harder in the following games."

"But the problem is that on this deadline, our management did not make any transactions, and our current lineup still has problems. The record is limited by the lineup, and it is simply unrealistic to improve in the short term." Curry frowned. said.

"It doesn't matter, just use the current lineup!"

"The performance won't fluctuate too much."

"Why do you care so much? It doesn't matter who you play with. Just stay steady. As long as you don't miss the playoffs, you can fight for good or bad!"

…

A few of them exchanged a few words and then went back to their respective homes.

Starting from Li Shengli's side, it's not that he is arrogant. The current Mavericks largely rely on his inside performance, and almost most of the pressure is on himself. He plays every game. It's tough.

This is completely different from when the Jazz formed the Big Three of Limas.

A person's life cannot be smooth sailing. Who can guarantee not to frown when they are stuck in the quagmire? Li Shengli is in this situation now. He has had a sense of anxiety since the All-Stars. Regardless of other teams, just looking at the Magic... I estimate that this season will be O'Neal's amazing performance time.

There is the increasingly stable Hardaway outside, the All-Star level No. 4 Grant inside, and the other role players are all old players who work well together. In addition, the depth of the bench is good enough to allow O'Neal to take off.

But since entering the league, except for being beaten by O'Neal in the 1992 draft, he has always been in the leading position. But now O'Neal has "turned into a serf and started singing", but he himself is in a bad situation.

No matter how good the relationship with O'Neal is, a good relationship does not mean there is no competition!

Compared with O'Neal, Li Shengli does not intend to lose. Fortunately, this game is still in the beginning stage. It is not over until the day he retires, until he can't play anymore, or until the day when no team wants him. And next season After the fight, both of them have to prepare for new contracts, and the choice will be back in their hands at that time, starting the second round of competition.
