Chapter 994 How to Be a Head Coach
Since this group of people is no longer good, then replace them with new blood. Stan Van Gundy only has this hand. Courtney Lee, JJ Redick, Arnaldo Foyle, etc. have all tried it out, and it’s okay. Turney Lee and jj Redick didn't disappoint him too much, barely maintained the situation of the game, and didn't allow the Supersonics to continue to expand the point difference.
The point difference has been hovering around five points. It was not until the end of the first half that Stephen made a sudden effort. Two three-pointers and two free throws scored eight points in a row, widening the point difference to ten points in one fell swoop and also breaking his own. His personal score improved to 23 points.
A double-digit point difference is not unacceptable for the Orlando Magic, but the problem is that in the previous two games, the Sonics opened up the point difference in the first half just like this. There was no way to fight back in the second half. Will this game be the same.
After the passion poured out for the whole half, the Orlando fans were already a little tired, and they also took advantage of the intermission to rest their throats and hands, and watch the dance and circus performances by the way, but the audience in front of the TV could not see These, so they can only see the two commentators blaring there.
ESPN's ace commentator team is still in charge of the commentary for this game, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy. This is not the first time that Jeff Van Gundy has commented on his brother's game. In the past, he usually stood by his brother's side, but today In this game, Mark Jackson teased him from the beginning, asking him which side he was going to stand on. [
On one side is my brother, but this Orlando Magic team is not very in line with Jeff Van Gundy's meaning in terms of tactics and lineup. He used to stand on his side, but when others attacked Stan Van Gundy's coaching style, he explained for his brother. On the other hand, the Seattle Supersonics, besides Yao Ming, who loves Ukrainians, also has the Supersonics team, which he also likes very much. The team, but did not give up defense, and the lineup structure is reasonable, mainly young players, maintaining a benign salary structure, these are what Jeff Van Gundy appreciates.
So as to who these two teams support, although Jeff Van Gundy did not tell Mark Jackson, he is inclined to the Seattle SuperSonics in his heart, but at this time Mark Jackson brought up this topic again, but he will not respond positively : "I have done research on these two teams. From the bottom of my heart, I hope the Magic can win and fulfill Stan's dream of a championship. However, from a fair standpoint, the Super League The performance of the Sonics is better, their defense is better, and their offense is both internal and external. From this picture, it can be seen that their offensive points are almost all over the entire half, without any offensive dead ends. This is a team Very mature team in offense, so I can only think both teams have an equal chance of winning this game."
"So what about the finals, which team do you prefer?" Mark Jackson continued to ask.
"Given that the Seattle Supersonics have a [-]-[-] lead over the Orlando Magic, I think their hope is greater than that of the Orlando Magic, but a [-]-[-] lead doesn't mean they've won half of the championship. Yes, because there have been two such things in history, but a [-]-[-] comeback has never happened before, so what the Orlando Magic have to do is to win this game as much as possible, and then say In addition, what the Sonics have to do is to win this game as much as possible and put more pressure on the opponent."
Mark Jackson turned his head and looked at Jeff Van Gundy strangely: "Which side are you on?"
"As I said, I am absolutely neutral in this game." Jeff Van Gundy shrugged and said with a smile.
"There is no such thing as absolute neutrality in this world. I think you should favor the Orlando Magic." Mark Jackson shook his head in disbelief.
"Hehe, I don't think so."
"I believe in an absolute bias, but I don't know which team you're biased toward."
"Hehe, Mark, if you were to coach this Orlando Magic team, what would you do?" Jeff Van Gundy smiled, and then said to Mark Jackson. Regarding Mark Jackson's desire to be the head coach, almost everyone We all know, but there are not many teams willing to give him a chance. On the one hand, he is not a well-known figure. Apart from his outstanding total assist record, his abilities are very average. The teams wandered around, and each team did not leave enough traces.
This is very important. The league is also a place that pays attention to personal connections. If you stay in a team long enough, or leave a lot of memorable things for the team, then after you retire, if you want to be in the team It is very easy for the team to find a job, almost as an ordinary staff member, better like Drexler, the best is to be the head coach or general manager, each team There is no shortage of such examples, especially for those who have just entered the industry, the team that is willing to give you the first chance is generally the team where you have played in your career.
But for Mark Jackson, he has played for seven teams successively, and he has not stayed in each team for too long. The longest playing time is the New York Knicks, but with James Dolan's character, Wouldn't hire a rookie who has just entered the industry. As the league's most wealthy team, James Dolan will only choose those well-known people, but Mark Jackson is also very grateful to Jeff Van Gundy for bringing this topic up.
Because this is the finals, many people are paying attention to this game. If I can show my talent in coaching, in case the general manager or owner of that team is looking for a head coach, and then I am interested in myself, It's also much better than going to the door on his own initiative, so Mark Jackson didn't rush to answer, but thought about it before he opened his mouth: "For the Orlando Magic, I don't think they can do much right now. They definitely can’t compete with the Seattle SuperSonics, but they can’t give up defense completely, so they have to find their own way to attack while sticking to defense. At present, the only thing they can count on is their three-pointers.”
"What's new about this? That's what Stan did." Jeff Van Gundy widened his eyes and asked in disbelief. If it's just these, Mark Jackson might as well not answer. That's what basketball people say.
"I haven't finished yet, don't worry, in addition to still sticking to the three-pointer, I think they can also use Marcin Gortat to play a pick-and-roll with Hedo Turkoglu or Ralph Alston, Marcin Gortat has a certain ability to shoot from the outside, and he can also shoot at the basket. I don’t think the Supersonics’ defensive effect on the pick-and-roll is very good. Whether it is Yao Ming or Coupard, they are a bit hard to defend. In the case of a breakthrough, pick-and-rolls can be used to make up for the shortcomings of the three-point tactics." Mark Jackson couldn't think of how to say it from the perspective of the head coach at the beginning, so he said some generalities, and then took advantage of Jeff Van Gundy to speak It took time for me to organize my thoughts and words before speaking.
After hearing this, Jeff Van Gundy nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. Pick-and-roll defense is indeed the weak point of the Sonics' defense. It's a pity that Dwight Howard can only go to the basket if he does a pick-and-roll." , but this way they can’t hit the Sonics’ weaknesses.” Because whether it’s Yao Ming or Coupard, their problems are a little hard to prevent, but if they can’t be defended, they are still at the basket. Dwight Howard went to the basket Going down is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap, and the effect is naturally not very good.
"I hope the Orlando Magic can make effective adjustments in the second half. Otherwise, they may not be able to win by relying on three-pointers alone. Well, the halftime break is over, and the players from both sides have returned to the court. Let us wait and see. Let's see what kind of performance they can perform for us in the second half." Mark Jackson concluded the intermission discussion with these words.
