NBA: Come off the bench to save the national team

Orlando, United States.

In a basketball hall.

The entire Thunder team is training for the night's game against the Magic.

As soon as the Thunder management announced the firing of Calesimo, the Thunder players also got the news.

Calesimo, who was supervising the players' training in the training gym, didn't say a word after learning the news, and directly turned around and left angrily.

Even though there was infinite resentment in his heart, he still kept the last trace of face in front of the players.

I never expected that I would become the first head coach to leave class in the new season.

Calesimo knew that he had become a substitute for management!

At the beginning of the season, the management made it clear to him that the record is not important, what is important is the performance of the players, as well as the adjustment and run-in of the squad.

But it's clear that management's needs are changing.

When Qin Feng continuously played against the sky, the management had a desire to win.

It's just that they didn't communicate with Calesimo, but directly chose to fire Calécimo, which can be regarded as an explanation for the recent five-game losing streak to fans and the media.

Looking at Calesimo's departing back.

The players looked at each other.

Some excited, some worried.

Because for them, it's not necessarily a good thing, and it's not necessarily a bad thing.

It doesn't matter who the management lets them coach, the only thing they can do is try to play basketball well and try to win every game.

"Can Brooks really be our coach? He's never been a manager!

One player asked worriedly.

The rest of the players shook their heads, after all, their knowledge of Brooks was limited to this time together.

Coaching ability aside, Brooks is indeed a gentle and easy coach to get along with.

In the entire Thunder Team, only Qin Feng showed a happy smile.

Please remove the word "?"!

Qin Feng silently complained in his heart.

Others don't know, but as a person who traveled through, he knew Brooks very well.

Becoming the head coach of the Thunder at Brooks took the Thunder to the Finals in just three seasons.

And now with Qin Feng joining, the Thunder Team will rise faster.

"I believe that with the new coach, our team will be completely new."

Qin Feng said, picking up the basketball on the ground and continuing to put it into training.

Everyone stopped thinking about it and threw themselves into training, after all, no matter who the coach is, the game always has to be played.

Less than half an hour later, Brooks arrived from the hotel to the training facility.

Snap!

"Guys, stop training first, I have something to say."

Brooks clapped his hands and said loudly, his eyes shining with essence and full of ambition.

After almost 10 years as an assistant coach, he is finally the head coach of a team, and he can't wait to show his talents!

Everyone gathered around, all looking at Brooks.

'It's great to be the head coach of the team, we'll have a lot of time to get to know each other in the future, but the most important task at the moment is the team's record.

"At present, we have lost five in a row, and we are the bottom team in the West!"

"It's frustrating to lose! I believe that this is an undesirable result. "

I'm going to make a lot of adjustments next and hopefully make some changes to the team and then try to win some games and get out of the way!"

Brooks said, his face turning serious.

Records are a looming question.

Calesimo was fired because of his poor record, and he didn't want to follow in Calesimo's footsteps.

If the Thunder's record is still so bad for some time to come, then the next head coach to leave the class must be him Brooks.

All the players were awe-inspiring and heavy-faced.

A new broom sweeps clean.

If you want to make the team look new, you have to change and break it!

These changes affect every player and may even affect the careers of some players.

"We need to change our starting lineup for tonight's game against the Magic."

"Durant, you are still a starting small forward, and you have always been a small forward, and you will no longer swing in the No. 2 and 3 positions!"

"Jeff Green, you play power forward, and you won't swing to small forward again!"

"Watson, you go back to the bench and the starting point guard is replaced by Westbrook."

"Qin Feng and Pelot remain the same, they are still starting shooting guards and starting centers!"

Brooks said quickly, the more satisfied he was with his adjustments.

Previously, as an assistant coach of the Thunder, he had already thoroughly studied the characteristics of each player on the Thunder, and he had studied the matching of the lineup for a long time.

Obviously, Pelot and Qin Feng are very unsuitable for the starting lineup.

Pelot's organizational skills are average, her scoring ability is average, and her defensive ability is average.

One is generally understandable, but three generally add up to a deadly black hole on the court.

The direct result was that Qin Feng had a heavy load, and he was both a father and a mother, not only to attack himself, but also to organize the team's attack, and also to be responsible for defending the opponent's outside scorer.

This requires great energy and physical exertion.

Obviously, Qin Feng's current level is not yet able to take into account.

Although Wei Shao is a rookie, he also has many shortcomings, but he has strong organizational skills and certain defensive ability.

It can share the pressure of Qin Feng to the greatest extent.

In addition, Durant and Jeff Green previously competed for the small forward position, and Durant had to swing to the No. 2 position as a shooting guard.

This directly led to the loss of the two.

After playing more than two weeks of the season, Durant's form is not even as good as his rookie season, and his shooting percentage is even worse, just over 41%.

Fixing Durant in the position of small forward is to hope that he can play the offensive form of last season and increase the team's offensive ability.

Besides, Jeff Green, it's perfectly fine to play power forward with his physical qualities, no longer compete with Durant for small forward, and see what performance will be done in the power forward position.

Listening to the coach's adjustment, the players had mixed feelings.

The most excited thing is Westbrook, who has been sulking on the bench!

He was too eager to play and too eager to win.

However, Calesimo did not give him a chance to perform, not only putting him on the bench, but also playing only 16 minutes per game.

Now after the team has changed coaches, Wei Shao has completely received the responsibility of coach!

You can finally unleash your love for basketball!!

Wei Shao's eyes lit up and he was excited.

When Qin Feng saw Wei Shao's expression, he couldn't help but sigh.

Brooks' biggest benefit from this operation is Wei Shao.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are finally in the NBA!!

This turtle from the sewers finally has the opportunity to show himself to the world.

Playing the starting position is the first step towards a superstar!
