chapter 1578. Fascinating team culture
In the end, the Hawks’ wish to win the away cup failed to materialize.
On June 11, 2008, the Hawks came to the West Arena to challenge the Suns.
This time, the Suns insisted on the tactics of switching between running and bombardment and positional play. They did not waver and attacked with the Eagles!
Barkley’s big mouth didn’t know whether it happened by accident, or he still wanted to remind the old club, in short, let Gentry coach firmly believe in playing his own unique game.
The Hawks are naturally fearless, and they can catch any move.
But in general it is away, the whistle is not as friendly as at home, the Suns players have some small action referees that do n’t play as much as they did in Phillips Arena, and the Eagles ’defensive small moves are relatively fouled Some more.
In addition, the Suns played really well in the third game!
Although Liu Mang scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 12-of-29 shooting, the Hawks lost 113 to 121 to the Suns and lost the opportunity to directly lock the championship 3-0.
By June 13th, the fourth game of the finals was still in the American West Arena.
The Suns scored 17 three-pointers in the last game, putting the Hawks here and there.
The Suns made a three-point misfire this time, making 6 of 26 3-pointers!
On the Eagles side, McGrady scored six three-pointers by himself!
With Liu Mang’s excellent performance of 21 points and 14 assists, Tracy McGrady’s 35 points and Kwame Brown’s 17 points and 15 rebounds, the Eagles beat the Suns by 119 to 91 in the offensive battle by 28 points!
This is the first time the two teams have scored less than 100 in the finals.
However, in the fourth defeat, he did not shake the determination of the Suns coach Gentry. This trip to the finals made Gentry make great progress!
In the fifth game, the Suns, who were 1 to 3 behind, insisted on their play at the last home, the pick-and-roll of Nash and Josh Smith, Calderon ’s positional offensive combing and mid-range shooting, O’Neal tried his best to use his Flexibility and maneuverability and power oppression to deal with the Hawks’ insider …
At the last minute of the game, the Hawks were one point behind, and the ball was owned by the Suns. The Hawks adopted foul tactics, relying on Nash’s stable free throws, and Liu Mang’s three-point miss in the overtime. The Suns beat the Hawks with 111-108 three-pointers, turning the big score to 2-3, refusing to be eliminated at home!
“Uncle, if you got a free throw for that three-pointer last night, we might be holding the trophy home now!” Little Loli was still very dissatisfied with Liu Mang’s three-pointer last night.
Last night, Liu Mang’s last shot, Lagabel shot Liu Mang’s arm, but the referee did not blow, the TV replay also proved that Liu Mang was beaten.
“That’s at their home, we don’t have a big advantage in overtime, and we don’t necessarily get free throws, right, we can go back and win, or I didn’t make it. There is no problem with a blower’s foul. “Liu Mang looked very open.
Looking at Xiao Loli still angrily, Liu Mang said with a smile: “Okay, well, won’t we be the same when we go home to win the championship.”
It’s not good to coax, not to talk, and Liu Mang is helpless to this rebellious girl.
After 5 days and 3 battles, the Hawks and Suns were tired enough.
High-intensity confrontation, non-stop defensive counterattack …
To be precise, the first five games were exhausting.
Only one of the three away games was scored. In fact, it is still passable. The remaining two games are at home. The Hawks still have a great advantage here!
June 16th is the sixth game of the Finals, and a possible tie-break is June 18th.
After returning to Atlanta, the Hawks rested for one night that day, and the next day was the 15th. The whole team came to the arena early and gathered at less than 7:30.
Before the coaching staff came, the players spontaneously studied what they did not do well in the past five games and discussed the solutions.
It ’s best to come up with it, but you ca n’t think of it, or at least you can react faster when a similar situation occurs.
The adjustments in the progress of the finals, Liu Mang and his teammates are already familiar.
On the other hand, the Suns are not very good …
Nash practiced on the visiting team’s training ground alone. At more than eight o’clock, Lagarber also came. The two of them were the hardest training for the Suns. After that, the only one who arrived before nine o’clock was Josh Smith.
Everyone else was tired. From the third game of the Finals they returned to home, it was only when the tactical meeting was nearly ten.
After the tactical meeting, when teammates were going to find a place to have lunch, Nash was still practicing shooting.
He arrived at the Hawks’ stadium at 7 in the morning, even earlier than the Hawks.
But seeing the Hawks gather quickly, Nash came to the door of the home team’s training ground, which was not closed, to sneak a peek at the inside and found a completely different atmosphere from the Hawks.
The atmosphere of the Suns is not bad, the whole team has a belief-love will win.
But ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ The Eagles don’t just fight!
Nash saw the Hawks players spontaneously engage in tactical discussions, and it did not seem to be the first time to do so, as if they were used to it. Even Gasol, who played a 10-minute meat shield, could tell Your own ideas, everyone discuss whether it is feasible …
In the past, Nash only heard about the team culture. Although he was a player, he had no personal contact. He still didn’t understand what is called the team culture. He thinks that the strong team has the team culture.
But today he discovered that it was different from what he imagined!
Trust between each other, treat each teammate as equal outside of the game, the team has the same goal … This is Nash ’s goal for the Hawks after peeking at the spontaneous tactical meeting of the Hawks players in the morning Understanding of team culture.
Although this understanding may be spitted by Rondo, Nash understands this way.
“Is this why they have reached the Finals for five consecutive years?” Nash practiced shooting while comparing with his team …
There is no harm without comparison. For the Suns, there is no star who does not value their own team status, and there is no place for role players to talk in the tactical meeting like the Hawks.
And the team atmosphere after the Hawks lose is very different from them!
During the first game and the second game losing streak, the Suns players’ mentality collapsed. From the beginning they gathered together at 8 o’clock and returned to home at 10 o’clock. Only then can they see that the loss is the third. The field won.
On the Eagles side, the opportunity to win the cup was missed the day before yesterday, and today is still full of fighting spirit in the tactical meeting.
Still spontaneously, there is no coaching staff!
Nash thought about it and quickly patted his head, he felt like he was a little fascinated by that team culture …
