Chapter 591 The Light in the Ruins

To show off, you need to have an attitude of showing off. How to make people feel at ease, how to calm people, and how to make fans laugh and think that "we all have a bright future" is an art.

Eddie Jordan doesn't understand this art.

In early January, the sound of Jordan being dismissed was blown.

At the beginning of the season, the 76ers were predicted to win 40 wins.

But the current situation is that it is difficult for them to win 30 wins.

Who knows that Jordan himself is more "radical" than the outside world.

In the first game of the New Year, Wei Xia made 37 goals, hit 17 goals, scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. At the critical moment, Jordan did not even place the tactics of the decisive goal to him, but to rookie Ju Holiday.

Holiday's long-distance bomb basket came out, and the 76ers lost the game in the most unexpected way.

"This is life." Jordan acted openly and a little stupid when facing the reporter's questioning. "Everyone has to pay a price for his growth, and Zhu is worth our expectations."

What the reporter wanted to know was: "Why didn't you hand over the decisive goal to wish?"

Jordan added: "We can't become a team that only plays stars."

When the reporter asked Wei Xia, he himself said: "I have no objection."

Then, the most amazing thing happened.

Yesterday he said he wanted "Zhu is worth our expectations". The next day, Jordan announced that he would adjust the team's starting lineup, and he adjusted Holiday from the starting number one position.

The reporter didn't understand again.

Isn’t Holiday worth looking forward to? Didn’t it mean to experience the troubles of growth? What’s wrong?

Jordan said calmly: "I think we were too radical before. Young people need to grow, but is he really ready?"

Insert Holiday's voice here: I'm ready! I'm ready! (SpongeBob's tone)

"No, young people can make breakthroughs anywhere, but psychology only needs long-term construction." Jordan said the most notorious sentence, "We have no other ideas when doing this, but we just don't want to hurt Zhu's mental health."

Then, he started a long tweet: “Before the season, I predicted we could play a 48-win season, and you can imagine how surprised and frustrated I was every time I lost. I even considered the “Princeton offense” learning curve and expected a slow start.”

"I think the Sixers will be the top five teams in the defensive position, and Princeton's offense will put them at average offense."

Judging from the current situation, Jordan messed up the matter.

He still believes the team has a "top five" talent in defense, but according to data, they are now ranked 27th in the league in defense.

This data is very consistent with their current ranking.

This is a drop from 14th place last year and 8th place the year before.

The 76ers roster has not changed much in the past two seasons to contribute to such a decline. The biggest difference is Eddie Jordan.

It is no coincidence that the team coached by Eddie Jordan never surpassed 19th place in defense.

Just searching Google for “fire Eddie Jordan” to better prepare for this season of train wrecking.

Once you want to oppose you, as long as you are a public figure, it is easy to find black materials unless the celebrity is Liu Tianwang.

The reporters dug out a petition called "Freak Eddie Jordan", from Washington, where Jordan coached.

"Under his stupid rule, the Wizards are one of the worst defense teams in the league, and the basketball IQ is definitely the lowest."

“I don’t even want to watch this team play again.”

"It's frustrating to give opponents too much space at the beginning of the game, too much space for defensive rebounds," he said.

"This team needs a bigger defensive input - Eddie has a chance to do that, the truth is that our defense is only getting worse and worse, Jordan is fucking shit!"

"Jordan has his own paranoia, he is a closed-minded coach."

"When it comes to basketball, he's a total fool."

"Ej is a fool! He should be dismissed. He hinders the development of the team."

"The individual talent is outstanding, the team is mediocre - this can only be the coach's fault."

Then, the reporter who quoted the petition began to wield his pen sword to kill: "Now, if you read this article, or the other 76ers, would you say to yourself, "Tell me something I don't know!"? That's the problem, I can't do it. You know Eddie Jordan. You know how bad he is. You know why he is so bad. You can tell an example of Eddie Jordan "bad". For the past four months, we've been talking about Eddie Jordan. Because of Eddie Jordan, we can't enjoy the victory. After losing the game, we'll only talk about Eddie Jordan.

Eddie Jordan, Eddie Jordan, Eddie Jordan.

Eddie Jordan is a bad coach, and as long as he is still our head coach, the loss like last night will continue to happen.

That's how it is.

There is no need to repeat it over and over again, we all know the problem!

I know Eddie Jordan is controlling the entire team, but that doesn't mean he should hurt fans or others in the process I can't speak for anyone, but my personal goal for the rest of the season is to discuss those topics with blasting Eddie Jordan.

Whether it’s a discussion about drafts, about the development (or not) of young players, or my fantasy of what this team can or should be, I’m avoiding being overwhelmed by the clouds called “Eddie Jordan.”

It's not easy, but I'll do my best.

I won't let him stifle my passion for the 76ers anymore and turn me into a frustrated fan.

For the sake of the statement, I will not watch another 76ers game until Jordan is fired!

I'm sorry, but I don't think it's any benefit to see the Sixers win under Eddie Jordan!"

How angry and how disappointed it is to attract such criticism?

It's very simple, because Eddie Jordan's way of playing tricks makes fans unable to see a slight dawn.

Some people can show a scene where "as long as we think we can compete for the championship, it's just that genius is too tempting."

Jordan doesn't. He is not a clever trader. He doesn't know what fans want to see, and he doesn't know how to lose with decent loss. Even the mental health of the players he threatens to pay attention to seems to have negative effects.

Ju Holiday was placed on the bench, and Jordan chose Yodi Meeks as the team's starting position.

He originally wanted to choose Louis Williams, but he felt that he should not slap himself in the face frequently. He would lose anyway. There is a difference between letting Luvie play the starting lineup and letting Meeks play the starting lineup.

The better the loss and the worse the loss.

Lu Wein's offense, Meeks is not a qualified No. 1 position in the NBA.

Because he often plays a tragedy where he can't pass the half-time dribble, and even his own three-point line is broken, Wei Xia often plays a guest-game point guard and takes the ball over the half-time, and then returns the ball to Meeks, allowing him to perform the basic function of a point guard - even if he pretends to behave.

Wei Xia said he would average 26 shots per game, but from January until the game against the Lakers in mid-January, he did not have a game that scored less than 28 shots.

Moreover, he maintained a 42% shooting percentage with high output.

Data shows that his high-level singles efficiency can be on par with the league's top singles.

What he lacks is experience and skills. From the beginning of the season to mid-January, these things began to develop in a positive direction after continuous ironwork, training, and self-correction.

Moreover, since the team wants to lose, Wei Xia will not contribute to the defensive end.

Anyway, you have to lose, so it’s better to keep your energy and play more data on the offensive end.

He once puts the team first, but now he has become a "selfish" score-winning maniac.

He once regarded defense as more important than anything else, but now he is taking the lead in not defending.

He once regarded winning more than anything else. In the 76ers two months, the number of losses was as high as the number of losses he lost in a season with the Lakers.

From high school to college to NBA, he strives to be the best.

In the first year of the 76ers, he realized the reality.

The reality is that he is now, he cannot transform a team.

In order to seek a future, the 76ers have to use this dark period of bad luck to make up for the window he left behind when he was a tool man in the Lakers for three years.

He has to learn how to play like a core player.

Before the start of the game with the Lakers, the broken 76ers finally ushered in a memorable moment.

Allen Iverson, who was sent to Denver several years ago, decided to sign an unsecured one-year contract with the 76ers.

Ai's return excited many people, which made some fans who were disgusted by Jordan and did not want to watch the game on site.

On January 17, at home, the 76ers played against the Lakers.

Nine years ago, the two teams were able to fight in the finals.

Unexpectedly, nine years later, the Lakers could still compete for the championship, while the 76ers could only compete for the No. 1 pick.

"It's a comfortable day to fire indefinitely?"

Goodbye Wei Xia, Kobe asked with a smile.

"Then it feels more comfortable to win." Wei Xia said honestly.

Iverson did not come over to greet his old opponent as soon as possible, but after they finished their greetings, he lay down and kissed the logo of 76 people.

The call of the Praise Center is thunderous.

In this unbeatable season, besides Wei Xia's performance is worth looking forward to, what else can make them happy as if the team won the championship?

It can only be Iverson!

This man brought Barkley's team history to an uncrowned prosperous period. He was an idol of a generation, a special symbol, a name that you cannot ignore.

That night, Iverson scored 22 points and said after the competition: "The kids nowadays don't know how strong Ai is!"
