Chapter 1012 The Heat Want to Rebuild
The Thunder has no insiders to support the situation. There is no suspense for the Suns to win this game.
Next, the Suns have two away games in the West, first to challenge the Trail Blazers on the 25th, and then to play the Timberwolves on the 26th.
Computer sorting is such a hassle. Take a two-day break and wait for you one by one back to back.
On November 11, the Suns returned to Phoenix, and they will face the Eastern Conference's favorite team, the Heat, on the second day.
In the previous 16 regular season games, the Suns had 14 wins and 2 losses. They lost to the Grizzlies and Lakers, two super teams, but they also won all the games that should be won, and their performance was very stable.
Through this month's game, Li Ba discovered the difference between coach Scott and Frank. He doesn't believe in substitute players, similar to coaches like Larry Brown.
Among the main players, apart from him, the other four played 35 minutes, which is very dangerous.
If the main players play too much, they are prone to fatigue and injury, which is not good for the playoffs.
Substitute players do not have playing time, and it is easy to cause conflicts within the team.
At the same time, Scott's tactical level is not enough, even worse than Frank.
Frank also has the help of Ron Adams. Scott does not have this kind of capable defensive coach to help. He only has a defensive coach who is also a rookie, Gary Payton.
Well, there is one more thing this season that makes Payton, a rookie coach, mature.
Others can be taken slowly, but Li Ba decided to talk to Scott about the problem of too much playing time of the main players.
After returning to Phoenix on the 27th, he did not go home directly, but asked Scott and general manager David Griffin to return to the headquarters together, and the three drank coffee and chatted.
It was Li Bay's appointment, and the other two were waiting for him to speak first.
Putting down the coffee cup, Li Ba said: "Scott, I want to know what you think of our substitute lineup? You don't trust them very much, do we need to reinforce them?"
Scott was a little surprised: "Hammer, why do you say that? I gave them playing time!"
Li Ba smiled and said: "But the playing time of our main lineup is 0607 minutes more per capita than in the 8 season. This is a very large number. This number will cause many bad consequences."
Scott shook his head and smiled: "No, no, hammer, this is my business, you should not interfere. I know what to do..."
"You don't know what to do, you're doing it wrong."
Li Ba was a little annoyed, he was not capable enough, so he had to accept help from others humbly like Frank, clinging to his own power, he could only harm others and himself.
"You? Hammer, you are too much! I am your head coach, even if you are No.1 in active service, you should know how to respect me."
Scott said a little angrily.
"Don't make noise, let's talk slowly." Griffin hurriedly greeted both sides.
"The playing time of the main force should be controlled at around 27 minutes. We need to prepare for the playoffs. We are not an ordinary playoff team, we are a playoff team with the goal of a championship , It would be absolutely wrong to consume the physical energy of our main players just in the regular season.”
When Li Ba said this, he stared at Scott and said: "If you want me to respect you, you must have enough ability to make me respect you, otherwise why do you want me to respect you? Just because of your status as the head coach ?Sorry, I can decide if you are the head coach of this team."
"You?" Scott stood up angrily.
Griffin is also a little annoyed, even the active No.1 can't say that in front of him, right?It is his power to decide the head coach.
But he was smarter and understood Li Ba's status and influence better, so he didn't say anything.
To put it simply, if you choose one of the two, the boss will definitely fire him and Scott instead of trading Li Ba, there is no one in ten thousand possibility.
There is only one hammer in the whole world, but there must be billions of people who want to take his position and take his high salary of millions a year. He is not stupid.
"Scott, sit down, let's have a good talk. I think the hammer can also be considered. We have done that over the years, and we have done a lot of rotation, so we are more competitive in the playoffs."
Griffin said to Steco.
Scott is not a layman either, he is also a player. Compared with the current No.1, his status as a rookie coach is really incomparable.
Not to mention him, if you change to a head coach of Phil Jackson's level, the result will be the same.
Simply put, the alliance is the world of superstars, let alone Li Ba?
So after Griffin persuaded him, he put away the anger in his heart and sat down.
This meeting ended shortly after.
Scott promised to give the substitute players more playing time. Although the goal was achieved, Li Ba knew that there was a problem with the team's management.
But he doesn't care. A rookie coach has no ability and just relies on hard work to play the game. There are many such people.
After Li Ba and Scott left, Griffin sat alone for a while, and after thinking about it, he called Savo and reported the incident.
"Of course we have to listen to the hammer. We used to play like that. Otherwise, in the playoffs, the main players are injured and tired. How can we win the championship? In the 0304 season, we injured Marbury and Marion, and then won the championship. Seven lost to the Lakers, have you forgotten?"
Savor's attitude was very clear and he supported Li Ba.
"So Robert, I don't know the bottom line of the hammer yet, are we ready for a coaching change?" Griffin asked.
"If Scott insists on going his own way, then let him go. David, you have to pick a good one, don't mess with such a rookie." Savor said.
"OK, I understand."
Griffin wiped the sweat from his brow. He is also a rookie general manager. It seems that his position is also unstable. If Hammer gets angry, he may have to leave.
Next, he began surreptitiously featuring and contacting head coaches.
This afternoon, the Heat arrived in Phoenix.
Since last season, the Heat's strength has declined, and there has been no further reinforcement.
Posey left the Heat last season, then White Chocolate went to the Clippers after the contract ended, and then announced his retirement like Li Ba.
The Big Three lineup of Garnett + Ray Allen + Wade failed consecutively to hit the championship. Garnett's state has declined since last season.
Both Garnett and Ray Allen still have great trading value. He hopes that through trading, the Heat can become a championship team again in the shortest possible time.
This is also the idea of the team owner. The team owner has tasted the benefits of the expansion of the ball market and does not allow the team to become a garbage team.
But there are only so many superstars and superstars in the league, so he started to dig around the corners of other teams with a small hoe on his back.
In Phoenix, he called Griffin to meet.
