Chapter 104 Coach of the Year

"I think the league should introduce rules to restrict shark-killing tactics, immediately!"

"This is definitely an unsportsmanlike behavior and it also makes the game extremely ugly."

"Anyway, I think we are actually more suitable to be the winner in this game." O'Neal said to the reporters at the post-game press conference with great indignation.

After being hacked to the point of collapse by Jiang Dongbing's shark-cutting tactics, O'Neal couldn't help but speak up for himself.

Although O'Neal looks big and rough, he is actually very shrewd. He knows very well that tonight's game will have a great impact on him.

It's not just about losing a Western Conference semifinal series, but more importantly, there will definitely be countless teams imitating Jiang Dongbing and using shark-cutting tactics against themselves.

Because the effect of this tactic is so good, the key is that I can't resist it.

When the time comes, as long as he plays, all the teams in the league will use shark-cutting tactics against him, then how can he play and be the greatest center in history?

The center with the most free throws in history is pretty much...

The center player with the most free throws in NBA history is Chamberlain. He has taken nearly 12,000 free throws in his career. O'Neal feels that if he keeps using the shark-cutting tactic on himself, he may be able to tie Chamberlain in a few years.

Good guy, you made forty free throws in one game, that's not three thousand times in a season...

O'Neal shrewdly asked the league to come forward to restrict the use of shark-killing tactics.

The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded. Although the shark-cutting tactic seemed a bit shameless, it was still within the permission of the league rules and was not much different from other tactics.

Based on reporters' understanding of the NBA, it is obvious that the league is unlikely to introduce rules restricting shark-cutting tactics, at least not during O'Neal's peak period.

If there were no restrictions on the shark-cutting tactics, O'Neal would be too incomprehensible. A center whose shooting percentage at the basket is close to 80%, his destructive power has reached an indescribable level.

In fact, these reporters were right. The NBA did later introduce rules restricting shark-cutting tactics, but at that time, O'Neal was about to retire.



Jiang Dongbing also noticed O'Neal's speech at the post-game press conference, and he certainly didn't take it seriously. After Jordan retired, the league under Stern will enter a stage of balancing the forces of all parties. It is impossible to let

O'Neal has no constraints at all.

Just as the Grizzlies and Lakers were in the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs and Jazz had also finished their two games, and the Spurs won two consecutive games.

Facing the luxurious inside line composed of Duncan and Robinson, Karl Malone performed very poorly in the game. His offensive efficiency at the basket was not high and he relied more on mid-range shots to score.

Under this circumstance, it is obviously difficult for the Jazz to defeat the Spurs.

This result did not go beyond Jiang Dongbing's expectation. Even if the Jazz were eventually swept out by the Spurs, it would not be a surprise.



As for the two semi-final matches in the east, Jiang Dongbing had no interest in knowing about them. Anyway, no matter which one of them made it out in the end, it would only be a wedding dress for others.

It's either a wedding dress for the Spurs or a wedding dress for my own Grizzlies. Anyway, there is no way this year's championship will be taken away by an Eastern Conference team.



In the next third game of the series, O'Neal was almost so angry with Jiang Dongbing that he vomited blood.

In this game, the Grizzlies players had an extremely hot touch at the beginning, and their three-point shooting percentage was frighteningly high, and they were always leading by a large margin.

But even in this leading situation, Jiang Dongbing still didn't forget to chop O'Neal, and occasionally sent O'Neal to the free throw line to shine.

O'Neal once wondered whether Jiang Dongbing was playing tricks on him or taking pleasure in himself.

At the post-game press conference, O'Neal still complained to the media. The current situation made him more and more worried. If he lost this series because of his free throws, O'Neal felt that it would even affect his career.

Alliance status.

The Grizzlies won the third game of the series again, rewriting the score to 2:1 and regaining the initiative. The shark-cutting tactic also aroused more and more discussions from all parties.

It is still in a state of mixed reviews. Lakers fans definitely feel that this is a heinous tactic and the league should immediately issue rules to stop it. However, many people still think that this tactic reflects the team's head coach's on-the-spot adaptability.

According to Nelson, it is knowing that O'Neal has a shortcoming in free throws and not taking advantage of it. This is definitely not the behavior of a wise head coach.

This is like knowing that the opponent has a defensive weakness and not attacking this player. Both behaviors are equally stupid.

Old Nelson's words made Jiang Dongbing feel like he had found a confidant. This was exactly what he thought. If he knew that the other party had shortcomings in this area and did not take advantage of them, how could he reflect his own value as a head coach?



After three games in the second round of the playoffs, various awards for the regular season were announced.

The awarding of regular season awards is the most desired time of the year for many practitioners, and many award-winning players or practitioners can use this opportunity to increase their worth.

For example, for two players with the same statistics, the player who made it to the first team is definitely worth more than the one who didn't make it to the best team.

If some players whose statistics are usually inconspicuous can make the All-Defensive Team or even win the honor of Best Defensive Player, their value will double.



The first thing to be released is the most unsuspicious award this season, which is the best coach of the year.

This honor was naturally won by Jiang Dongbing, without any suspense.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this year's Jiang Dongbing is the most dazzling rookie coach in NBA history. Last season, the Grizzlies ranked last in the league. This season, they directly ranked first in the league. With such a huge improvement span, if the best coach is not Jiang Dongbing, then this award

It doesn't make any sense anymore.

When selecting the best head coach of the year, what ultimately counts is not the team's total number of wins, but the number of wins the team has improved.

For example, a team won 60 games last season and improved to 65 wins this season. Even if the record ranks first in the league, the number of wins has increased by only five games. It will be difficult for the head coach to win the Coach of the Year award.

.

The Grizzlies are definitely the team that has improved its record the most in a single season since the founding of the NBA. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Jiang Dongbing fully deserves this award and there cannot be any competitors.

After learning that he had won the honor of Coach of the Year, if Jiang Dongbing said he was unhappy, it would be a lie.
