1014. Heat changes coach
On the afternoon of November 7th, after training for the Eagles, they were preparing to go to Miami to spend the night and play the Heat away from home tomorrow.
Since Miami is so close, the boss also wants to go to the away game this time. Just like after the Hawks and Heat have become stronger in the past few years, every time the Heat go to Atlanta to play away games, Pat Riley and Mitch Arison
They will all come together.
Before departure, the team is responsible for summarizing news information. That is, the team staff who spend all day reading news online, reading newspapers, watching TV news, etc. send the latest news to Coach Kruger.
Coach Kruger was not too surprised when he saw this new news: "I had expected this."
Liu Mang, who was chatting with Coach Kruger, came up to take a look.
The latest news, just yesterday, the Heat quietly fired Stan Van Gundy, and today reported the change of head coach to the league. The league announced that the Heat's trusted head coach is Heat general manager Pat Riley.
"Poor Big Fan Gandy." Liu Mang muttered.
"Ace, the NBA is very realistic. You have to understand this." Coach Kruger reminded that Liu Mang is better now. Liu Mang before Rahim left was too naive. He is afraid that Liu Mang will now
When you are in a comfortable state, you may accidentally make another mistake.
"Yeah." Liu Mang didn't say much.
When Liu Mang saw this news, he remembered that in 2014, Van Gundy didn't want Josh Smith, but he just wouldn't give it to Pat Riley.
In the summer of 2013, Van Gundy had just poached Josh Smith, with a four-year contract of more than 50 million, but it was not suitable after one year. Josh Smith's all-around style was not compatible with the Pistons who needed to attack tough points.
But for the Heat, he can be used as a poor man's version of James.
At this time, Pat Riley wanted to trade Josh Smith back to make up for the impact of James' departure. Wade began to show his old self, and Josh Smith, Bosh, who still retained the form of the Hawks, barely
Considered a poor version of the Big Three, Josh Smith was only 29 years old at the time, and if Pat Riley was allowed to play, he could still perform well.
But Van Gundy would rather buy out Josh Smith than send Josh Smith to the Heat. The Heat exceeded the luxury tax threshold. The buyout clause at that time had a bidding clause, and the Heat were not eligible to bid.
, was snatched away by the Rockets who could directly sign Howard without permission at that time.
Liu Mang remembered that Van Gundy was very loyal to Pat Riley. His younger brother has been the head coach for many years and has been following Pat Riley.
Pat Riley taking away the head coaching position has no impact on the Hawks. Before they played against the Heat, Pat Riley directly took away the tactical board.
The Eagles didn't care that much, but Pat Riley's actions caused an uproar in the league.
After finally getting hold of Wade, after two years of training, O'Neal is still at the end of his peak, and with so many strong reinforcements, the Heat this season are more likely to be champions than last season, and the Hawks have won two consecutive championships.
Maybe there is a possibility of slacking off, and the Heat have a chance to break through the Eastern Conference. At this time, Pat Riley takes away the head coaching position, or takes away the head coaching position from Stan Van Gundy, whom he trained with his own hands!
This kind of behavior, the head coaches of each team understand Pat Riley's self-interested mentality and think it is too normal. It is difficult for Pat Riley to find a head coach who is willing to go. Everyone knows that as long as the Heat
As the team becomes stronger, Pat Riley will take his position back immediately.
Other coaches won't publicize this kind of thing. He is the general manager of a team.
But fans don’t know that Pat Riley’s behavior has made NBA fans start to light up the lights for Stan Van Gundy...
It's too awful!
Stan Van Gundy is one of the worst coaches in NBA history!
…
…
After only playing 6 games in this new season, Pat Riley couldn't help but take away the fruits of spending the past few years cultivating new players, building the tacit understanding between Wade and O'Neal, and recruiting a large number of signings in the summer.
.
In fact, from the beginning of this preseason game against the Hawks, Pat Riley has been extremely dissatisfied with Stan Van Gundy's ability to cope. In the game against the Hawks, if Stan Van Gundy had been more cautious in arranging his formation, it would not have been because of
The lead was too big in the first half. In the first half of the third quarter, O'Neal was allowed to play casually to drain his energy. In the second half of the third quarter, O'Neal was almost like a big pillar on the court. The Eagles quickly narrowed the point difference. The Heat could not
As for the last two minutes, Liu Mang had the opportunity to perform amazingly.
In fact, this is secondary, the main reason is that there is nothing we can do!
Pat Riley was surprised by Wade's progress, and the performance of the reinforced players far exceeded his expectations. Starting from the game where they defeated the Lakers at the beginning of this season, the Heat have won six games in the past ten days.
Complete victory!
Wade had a slight disadvantage against Kobe, but against other teams, except for a few super perimeter players, he always played under pressure, leading the Heat to six consecutive victories.
If Pat Riley doesn't seize the power at this time, he will have no chance.
…
On the Heat side, when Wade knew the news, he was overjoyed. It was true that he liked Stan Van Gundy very much, but he hated Stan Van Gundy's on-the-spot commanding ability. There was no way to beat the Bulls. When he beat the Hawks,
, Stan Van Gundy has not been able to keep up with the changes in the Eagles.
Now replaced by Pat Riley, who has created an era twice, Wade is very excited, very happy, and he has some expectations. Is it time for him to create a new era?
O'Neal, another core member of the Heat, was very bitter when he heard the news. He really doesn't like Pat Riley. He has lost two pounds this year and is only 142 kilograms. Think about all the fat that has been with him for so many years.
, O'Neal felt distressed.
Pat Riley is a vampire-like head coach. O'Neal has heard some of his deeds when he was with the Lakers. Now O'Neal is in pain.
However, O'Neal did not express his position or reveal his thoughts.
Because he wants to win the fourth championship, he wants to win one more championship than Kobe. Now that Kobe has Yao Ming, he has great hope of winning. O'Neal is more motivated than Kobe to win one more championship.
…
…
Although the Hawks are not surprised that the Heat changed their head coach, Pat Riley has personally coached the Heat. The Heat are different from the previous Heat. This is a team comparable to Cardinal Orr.
Chapter completed!
