270:Listen, the champion’s heart is beating(3/5)
He can play any tricks.
There is no unhappy player who plays under Tang Shuai.
When Francis and Yao Ming played under him, it was so exciting.
Yao Ming once said bluntly: "If my coach had been Van Gundy from the beginning, I might have chosen to retire after one year."
There is no problem in formulating tactics, and Tomjanovich is not bad at commanding on the spot.
During Mosaic's two consecutive championships, he rarely stretched his hips at critical moments, which is enough to show his on-the-spot dispatching ability.
In addition, Tomjanovich is also a veritable master of chicken soup.
He knows how to encourage his players and how to ignite the desire to win in young people.
If you don’t know how to make chicken soup, can you call me Master Tang?
As for the shortcomings, it may be that Tang Shuai's character is too gentle and his attitude towards the players is not tough enough.
He won't even force his players to train.
It belongs to free range breeding.
O'Neal is so greedy that he is willing to pay the price of Malone's life to get a coach like Mr. Tang who does not force players to train.
Malone:???
You just became a teammate and you want my life!?
Therefore, Tang Shuai’s team cannot have people who are against him or have thorns in his side.
Otherwise, he might really be unable to suppress himself if he has such a gentle personality.
But the Suns have no thorns. Li Ang feels that everyone on the Suns team, including himself, is a good kid with both good character and academics!
Wu Sheng: That’s right, I can’t even use a gun. I can only rush into the audience to help the fans who accidentally slipped.
To sum up, Tang Shuai is the most suitable person for the Suns at this stage.
With his level, he can definitely bring everyone together and bring out everyone's characteristics.
Therefore, after learning that Colangelo's lobbying failed, Li Ang decided to pay a visit in person and must not let this opportunity pass easily.
The first impression Master Tang gave Li Ang was that he was very elegant.
His speech and behavior were all very elegant and decent.
His speech was not particularly loud, but sonorous and powerful.
"Rudy, I heard that the roses you planted are all named after players." After sitting down, Li Ang did not talk about work directly, but talked about the master's current interests.
Sure enough, when he heard Li Ang commenting on the roses he planted, the master smiled and said, "How come you know everything?"
"Hehe, after all, I am the secret agent of the Suns... I have heard about it too."
Li Ang waved his hand. The master liked to name the roses he planted after players. Li Ang saw this from the Internet in his previous life.
It is said that the two bouquets of roses that the master raised the most at that time were named one Yao and the other Ming.
"Planting flowers and naming players, it seems you still can't forget the glorious years."
"A few years later, can you forget your experience of winning the Pistons?"
"Won't."
"That's right, which man can forget this."
"Yes, after all, basketball and championships have given me a rich life. Oh, I don't mean money, I mean things more valuable than money. For example, unforgettable experiences and friends who fight side by side. Before playing basketball, I
No brothers. But now, I have many."
As Li Ang said this, he smiled and thought of the Bad Boys Legion, Cart Maddie, and Francis again.
"If I like to plant flowers in the future, I will probably name them after my teammates."
Li Ang had already thought about it, and the tallest one was called Big Ben.
It fits his temperament.
"Lee, is your goal this year a championship?" After chatting, Tomjanovich took the initiative to bring the topic to basketball.
"certainly."
"But your opponents are very powerful, and the West is full of difficulties."
"I know it too, but I have a desire in my heart, and I believe in myself from beginning to end. What's the point of being a champion who doesn't experience suffering? We need your help, Rudy." Li Ang got off the donkey and walked down the slope.
An invitation was also extended to Tomjanovich.
"Hahaha, I am so disappointed with my current life..."
"But you still care about basketball. Every day you look at this field of roses and these flowers named after the players, and you always think of the all-powerful scenes of the past. Olajuwon, Kenny Smith, Robert Howe
Here, Drexler... you still want to go back to that time.
You still want to create new glory!
You are just worried, but you don’t have to be worried, because the Suns have the best medical team. Not only is sports surgery advanced, our medical team is top-notch in all fields. I believe you also know that the old Colangelo is in Phoenix
The city has recovered quite well.
In Phoenix, you can work while enjoying the Arizona climate and receiving the best rehabilitation treatment. It's not like New York or Los Angeles, which will put you under too much mental pressure.
My teammates and I will not let you down. We will definitely be able to break through the siege, and I will definitely lead by example.
Indeed, on paper, we are not the strongest team. The Lakers have four superstars, and the Mavericks are all All-Stars. But you told me, never underestimate the heart of a champion!
I came to Phoenix City just to win the championship!
Rudy, if possible, I also hope that there will be a flower named after me in this field of roses.
Why can't we create some unforgettable memories?"
Tomjanovich stared at Leon, marveling at the young man's conversation.
To be honest, before today, he always thought that Li Ang was just a reckless man.
At this time, Tang Shuai's wife Sophie knocked on the balcony: "Gentlemen, it's time for dinner."
Li Ang did not leave early, but had dinner with Tang Shuai and his wife and talked about some things other than basketball. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the meal, Li Ang drove away in the night without disturbing the two of them.
After Li Ang left, Tomjanovich turned on the TV and watched the latest NBA news.
Since recuperating at home, Tomjanovich has actually paid little attention to the NBA.
I only watch a game occasionally.
I don't know if it was because of Leon, but the desire in Tomjanovich's heart became stronger and stronger.
That's right, he never planned to give up basketball just like that. He also wanted to create some more brilliance.
However, the current Mosaic team cannot meet Tang Shuai's needs.
This Mosaic, let alone competing for the championship, is struggling to even compete in the playoffs. Moreover, there is no hope of rising.
Among other teams, only the Lakers have extended an invitation to Tang Shuai. But the Lakers' invitation is to ask Tang Shuai to come out next year if Phil Jackson doesn't stay.
To put it bluntly, it is just a spare tire.
Tang Shuai longs for the championship, and the Phoenix Suns...
Previously, when Tomjanovich's old acquaintance "Silver Fox" Del Harris led the Chinese team to win the World Championships, he talked about this experience with Tang Shuai:
"The fighting spirit of the Chinese team is very surprising. They are not the most talented, they are not the most favored, and they are not even the strongest on paper. There are still many problems in that team.
However, they never give up. No matter how difficult the game is, they can persist until the last second.
I think the Chinese team as a whole has been influenced by Li Ang. He is always the one who fights the hardest and grabs the most fiercely on the court. He leads by example and inspires his teammates to kill opponents who are stronger than him.
came out.
You can feel his desire to win.
Maybe, Li Ang has what you call the heart of a champion."
For some reason, Tomjanovich remembered what Harris once said.
He watched the news on TV and saw people predicting who would win the championship next season.
When he went to bed at night, Tomjanovich tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Do you still miss the young man who came today?" Sophie asked from the side without falling asleep.
"Um."
"I know you still can't let go of basketball, Rudy. You want to force yourself to let it go and return to your family, but I don't want you to leave any regrets. Besides, you can't just shut yourself up at home all the time. If you want,
Just go and try it.
I'll accompany you, and we'll all go to Phoenix, taking your two dogs with us. I heard that Arizona is like summer all year round, and the sun is brighter than Texas. People's mood will get better there.
"
