278. Mike Brown, who was defeated and regretted very much!(1/2)
After defeating the Raptors, this has brought the Wizards' winning streak to 14 games.
At present, the Wizards have won 14 consecutive games at the beginning, and there are only the last two games left before breaking the 15 consecutive games set by the Rockets.
The Wizards faced not very strong opponents in the next two games, including the East and West teams outside the playoffs.
Therefore, with the Wizards defeating the Bucks away, the Wizards, who had won 16 consecutive games in the game, officially broke the record set by the Rockets that year and became the new holder of the NBA's winning streak.
And considering that the Wizards' competitive state has been very hot recently, in this case, the Wizards are likely to continue to improve their winning streak. As for how many games they can improve this record, it depends on the Wizards' next performance.
However, the Wizards are no longer under pressure at the moment, because the Wizards have set a record in NBA history. Even if the Wizards win one more game, they can increase the upper limit of this record by one game.
No matter how many games you can win, the Wizards are destined to be recorded in history.
…………………………………
The Wizards also won the last two games in November, which also made the Wizards' winning streak reach 18 games. Since the start of the game, they have not only remained unbeaten, but have also been breaking new NBA history records.
So far, Paul George has been leading the MVP list. Since the beginning of the season, Paul George has surpassed James and others to top the list.
If nothing unexpected happens, Paul George has basically set up his MVP this season. This has nothing to do with whether Paul George's personal ability can crush other stars in the league, because the Wizards' record is too outstanding.
The Wizards' current attention is also far beyond people's imagination.
In addition, due to the dominance shown by the Wizards in the new season, more and more fans have begun to discuss whether Yang Fan is still likely to win the honor of Best Coach in the new season.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Fan led the Wizards to a record of 69 wins and 13 losses last season, so even if Yang Fan led the team to a record of 72 wins and 10 losses this season, it is difficult to win awards.
However, judging from the competitive state shown by the Wizards, the Wizards' goal in the new season is probably to start working hard with the best record of 75 wins and 7 losses set by the Thunder that year.
So once Yang Fan really leads the Wizards to break the best record he set in history that year, can Yang Fan still win the Best Coach award in this situation? Regarding this issue, many fans on the Internet are currently discussing.
After all, the name Yang Fan is really too topical in today's alliance.
If Yang Fan was only regarded as a talent showman with excellent vision and a perfect reconstruction coach, then the name Yang Fan has now been classified as a discussion list of the best coaches in history.
There is no way, there are so many miracles that Yang Fan has created in the past two years.
Whether it is the NBA historical record, the NBA winning streak, or the fact that the Zen master has been beaten to retirement, Yang Fan's coaching career has been painted with a layer of color.
Perhaps in a few years, various versions of the story about Yang Fan will emerge, and people will compare Yang Fan to God on the basketball court.
No! To be precise, it is the God of the coaching profession.
Not to mention anything else, just relying on re-election as the best coach is enough to get Yang Fan to the altar!
……………………
Time flies in a blink of an eye, and December is approaching in a blink of an eye.
And in the first game after December, the Wizards ushered in a tough battle.
In this game, the Wizards will be a visit to Miami and will play against the Heat for the first time this season.
When it comes to the Heat, the first thing people think of is disappointment.
After all, when the Heat Big Three announced that they would join forces to pursue the championship in Miami, people thought that the NBA had ushered in the finale.
As a result, the Heat's Big Three have joined forces for three full seasons, but have not won any championship trophy in these three seasons.
Some people say that the formation of the three Heat giants is to highlight Yang Fan's strength and to make the championship trophy won by the Wizards more valuable.
This statement seems too heartbreaking to the fans of Heat, but from a practical point of view, what the Heat has done in the past two years seems to be true.
The Heat made a high-profile reinforcement the summer before yesterday, and introduced Billups, Marcus Cambi and others in the offseason respectively.
But in the end, the Heat failed in the playoffs and were sent home to fish again by the Wizards.
At that time, many fans began to discuss whether the Heat's Big Three will part in the summer. After all, this pair of teams is meaningless at all.
No one thinks that the Heat can defeat the Wizards this season and win the championship trophy in the 13-14 season as a dark horse.
But for some reason, the Heat did not disband this summer, but instead strengthened the corners.
It seems that he is stubborn and wants to attack the Wizards' position as defending champion in the new season, fantasizing about defeating the Wizards, thus washing away the shame of the previous two seasons.
This season, the Heat did not have much action during the offseason. They just strengthened Lewis and Michael Beasley in addition to retaining the core lineup of last season.
Not to mention that Beasley and Lewis are no longer at the peak now, just saying that the defensive attitudes of these two are really problematic.
Therefore, these two reinforcements are more like a kind of self-comfort by the Heat management, a kind of self-hypnosis that psychologically expects to defeat the Wizards.
In addition, after cutting head coach D'Anthony, the Heat management instead hired Mike Brown in the offseason to serve as the team's head coach for the new season.
Yang Fan seemed speechless about the Heat management's operations at that time.
Although there are indeed few excellent head coaches who are idle at home now, the truly outstanding head coaches are basically in charge of the NBA.
But after the Heat management cut D'Antoni, they chose to hire Mike Brown to serve as the team's head coach in the new season, which in Yang Fan's opinion was simply an insult to himself.
After all, Mike Brown was Yang Fan's defeated player. During the years when Mike Brown coached the Cavaliers, Yang Fan almost beat Mike Brown to autism.
So Yang Fan doesn't know why the Heat management thinks Mike Brown has the ability to lead the Heat to fight against the Wizards.
And where did Mike Brown have the confidence to fight Yang Fan head-on?
Yang Fan felt that he needed to help Mike Brown recalled the sour feelings he felt when coaching the Cavaliers, so that Mike Brown would experience the feeling of despair and collapse after a few years.
Before the game started, the overall atmosphere on the Wizards seemed very relaxed. Yang Fan and assistant coach Spo sat on the side of the court while eating oranges while discussing things.
But judging from the facial expressions of the two, the discussion probably has nothing to do with this game.
On the other hand, compared to the Wizards, the atmosphere before the start of the Heat is really urgent.
Whether it is head coach Mike Brown or the players under his command, everyone is frowning, and you can see that you are worried from your face.
Although the Heat have long been accustomed to losing to the Wizards in the past two years, after each loss, a large number of fans will slander the Big Three online.
Although these remarks will not affect their salary and status, when these remarks truly accumulate to a certain amount, they still put a lot of pressure on the Big Three.
It is no exaggeration to say that the greater the ambitions of the three Heat when they were just formed together, the deeper the trauma in their hearts now.
The person who caused all this was Yang Fan, who was sitting on the sidelines and eating oranges at this time. I believe that the three Heat giants had already hated him to the core.
Just like the Utah Double Devils faced the Bulls led by Jordan, except for hatred and fear, they were really helpless.
As the game is about to begin, both sides announced their starting lineups respectively.
Heat:
Billups, Wade, James, Bosh, and Marcus Camby.
Wizards:
Wall, Thompson, George, Aldridge, and Gasol Jr.
Both teams sent their own regular lineups in this game and did not make much adjustments in the starting lineup.
After the game started, the ball was first obtained by the Wizards.
As soon as the game started, the Heat defended the 32-team defense on the court because Marcus Cambi's cross-travel speed was very slow.
Mike Brown was afraid that the Wizards would attack Marcus Camby on the offensive end by pick-and-roll.
But if Mike Brown doesn't use Marcus Camby, then the team really doesn't have a good candidate in the inside.
Whether it is Joel Anthony or Haslem, the two are not as protective of the basket as Marcus Camby.
As for the small lineup Mike Brown has tried, but if you really want to face a top team like the Wizards with double towers, there is no center forward with excellent frame protection ability in the interior, and the Heat are likely to be targeted by the Wizards.
The Wizards were not surprised to see the Heat defending the joint defense on the defensive end.
It’s not that Yang Fan guessed Mike Brown before the game that he would defend the 32-team defense. It’s just that the Wizards have been too strong in the past two years. Each team will try various defense methods when facing the Wizards.
This has led to the Wizards having seen all kinds of defense methods, and the Wizards have faced the most common joint defense positions such as the three-and-second joint defense, too many times.
So in this situation, Yang Fan doesn't need to get up to remind him. Wall, who is in charge of the main control, immediately made a gesture on the field, signaling others to try to pull away, and then shift the offensive focus to the inside.
The main defense of the three-and-two joint defense is medium and long-distance shooting, which is more average in the protection of the basket.
I guess Mike Brown chose to defend the three-and-two joint defense in this game because he was afraid of the Wizards' projecting firepower on the outside.
The penalty area guarded by Marcus Camby also made Mike Brown feel at ease.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan, who was sitting off the court, couldn't help laughing because Yang Fan thought Mike Brown was really cute.
Although the Wizards' best killing method is indeed shot from outside the three-point line, Mike Brown actually thinks that Marcus Camby can really guard the penalty area. Yang Fan doesn't know who gave him the courage.
Yang Fan is also quite familiar with Marcus Cambi. When he was coaching the Thunder, O'Neal, who was coaching the Thunder, had beaten Cambi in the playoffs.
In the playoffs last year, Yao Ming, under Yang Fan, beat Cambi again. Anyway, in Yang Fan's memory, as long as the opponent has the player Cambi, the final outcome will be beaten.
So Yang Fan really doesn't know why Mike Brown believes in Marcus Camby's data brush.
In the whole first quarter, the Heat's offensive rhythm had obvious changes from last season. Last season, under the command of running and bomber master D'Antoni, the Heat's main focus was on bombardment.
All focus is on the offensive end, but this season, as the Heat head coach becomes Mike Brown, the Heat's rhythm on the offensive end is appropriately slowed down and put more energy into the defensive end.
At least in D'Antoni's tactical system, he rarely uses Marcus Cambi to play the starter, and in most cases he plays a small lineup and insists on playing Magic Ball.
But Mike Brown is a typical traditional coach, pursuing a balance between offense and defense.
It's just a pity that the Wizards and the Heat have been fighting each other for two consecutive seasons and have long been very familiar with each other.
So when Mike Brown takes the initiative to lower the rhythm and fight a position with the Wizards, this is simply a suicide-style fight in Yang Fan's opinion.
To be continued...
