I Don’t Want to be the Boss

A 27-point victory over the Lakers and the Grizzlies' performance in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals made the Bulls, who are also leading 2-0 in the Eastern Conference, feel an unspeakable relationship with the Timberwolves.

They played against the 76ers and almost were overturned by Evans in the last three minutes of the second game. The Grizzlies played against the Lakers, the defending champion team, and was a targeted reinforcement of the defending champion last summer. The team actually won 27 points in the second game!

And after the second game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, the fans at the game "spontaneously" roared "FO-FO-FO". This is what the fans roared out after the team played well. Compared to Rose’s “sweep and advance to the finals” declaration, it looks much stronger!

Rose said by himself that although he also showed strong self-confidence, he always felt that something was missing.

Mainly because the Grizzlies were also undefeated in the playoffs this season. When the Grizzlies fans "spontaneously" yelled the same words, it gave people a very different feeling. Bian seems to be saying-we don't like nonsense, we only use actual actions to express it.

However, on the morning of May 25th, on the charter plane that the Grizzlies took to Los Angeles, coach Hollins had been looking at his team boss with a bitter look.

Robert Pera can't help it! After winning the Lakers by 27 points, he couldn't help it. After the game, he couldn't help driving the fans to roar and sweep the Lakers.

He was sitting in the fan zone with a pure fan mentality, and he was not sitting in the front row. This year's Western Conference finals team sold a side ticket of 22,000 US dollars, and one more ticket was sold...

Moreover, what I want in my heart is so cool to roar!

But feeling the resentful look in the Hollins coach’s eyes, Robert Pera was also a little bit ashamed, but no one noticed that he was the one who took the lead. Otherwise, his boss's roar was going to be swept away, and he would definitely give his own team members. The pressure came, because he, the boss, yelled out, and the players did not finish, which was too shameful.

However, even if no one finds out that he took the lead in roaring, his fans are looking forward to it and roaring to sweep away, it still brings extra pressure to the Grizzlies players.

This has created some trouble for the Hollins coach, regardless of whether it will bring pressure, sweeping this kind of speech will definitely affect their team.

However, in this situation, coach Hollins also has a trick!

It's also very simple. They already have a strength advantage. Coach Hollins just doesn't want excessive praise, flattery, belittling, questioning... and other good and bad public opinions to affect his players.

Although listening to good and bad speech appropriately is helpful to increase enthusiasm or confidence, they are already very positive and confident before they even start. Coach Hollins does not need these extra help at all, and directly put an end to it. The negative effects that may be caused by these things.

But if you can't stop it, then accept it.

...

"I am in the same mood as you guys. I hope we can return to Memphis with a place in the Finals, but I don't force it. We just need to go all out. We are the best team and we should have won.

Now that we are on the away game, we must go all out to win every game. I have not considered the possibility of losing away games. I can accept it, but we are aiming to win..."

Arriving at the hotel in Los Angeles at noon, coach Hollins held a team meeting, using words, and interspersed with "we can win but don't care about losing a game or two" while it seems to emphasize the need to go all out. Keywords, adjust the mentality of the players.

Coach Hollins is not rejecting the idea that the players are trying to sweep the Lakers, but he is worried that he is too eager to sweep the other side, and then afraid of losing.

Victory or defeat is commonplace for soldiers, and it is normal to lose, but if you are afraid of losing, it may lead to abnormal performance.

Overconfidence and overcautiousness are not very good mentalities. Coach Hollins shields public opinion during each round of the playoffs to reduce the probability of such a situation.

But when such a mentality is really possible, Coach Hollins still has a way, mainly he is usually responsible for thinking about these things.

He understands the tactics, but the specific tactics, small-scale coordination adjustments, rich reserve tactics library, etc., are more handed over to Dave Georgel, David Fizdale, Stockton, and Brian. Xiao and others are responsible. He is mainly responsible for choosing tactics and drawing up the tactical framework.

The most important thing is the big strategic plan, which specifically includes psychological warfare, rhythm control, playing time adjustment, tactical targeted selection... and so on.

On the other hand, on-court adjustments are made by players on the basis of the lineup that has already been arranged.

This is basically the team framework that has been continued since Sun Ce's second grade. After 5 years, coach Hollins has become very proficient in what he needs to accomplish. Perhaps in this regard, the only coach since the new century is The Zen master is stronger than him, and he is not necessarily stronger, because he really only needs to be responsible for the things that need him to be responsible, and he knows that he is not good at other things, and he will not intervene.

This made him reach the level of a Zen master in this respect!

Like last season, it’s impossible to win. Coach Hollins could not think of a way to defeat the strong with the weak like Sloan and Tomjanovich, but under favorable conditions, he does what he is good at, absolutely Will not add chaos.

Emphasizing and taking advantage of the positive aspect is what coach Hollins is best at.

This distribution of responsibilities and obligations within the team reflects the superiority of the core values ​​of Pangdaism...

...

On the afternoon of May 25th, the Grizzlies did not arrange training. They had an afternoon rest and there was one day to prepare for the game tomorrow.

At 5 o'clock in the evening California time, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals began.

In this game, Rose scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal in 34 minutes. Griffin scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in 39 minutes. The key point is not to play a solid double-sha, but a power forward. Starter and substitute in position, Gibson, who came off the bench, played 27 minutes at power forward and center and scored 2 points, 16 rebounds and 2 blocks. Substitute Mirotic played in 31 minutes and scored 17 points, 6 boards and 1 block. , Helped the Bulls beat the 76ers 93-82, and the big score became 3-0!

The Bulls in this game can be described as desperate on the defensive end. When the Grizzlies made the remarks of sweeping into the finals, if their Bulls didn't finish sweeping into the finals, they would lose face!

However, they did a good job. Evans played the worst game of the playoffs this year. He made only 4 of 16 shots and missed a three-pointer. All free throws were only 5 of 8 and only 13 He scored 13 rebounds and 6 assists. Gasol only had 12 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks. The assists were zero. It looks like 4 players on the 76ers scored in double figures, but Evans’ 13 points are the 76ers. The highest in the audience!

Although the 76ers had the advantage of rebounding, Evans had 13 rebounds, Gasol 13 rebounds, and Knoll 15 rebounds, but they did not turn into counterattacks. They can only limit the Bulls’ second offense at most, but they themselves The attack was blocked.

...

When the Bulls led the 76ers 3-0, the media began to hype the Grizzlies' remarks that swept the finals.

But the media couldn't keep pace with the Grizzlies players. They ignored them at all, continued to refuse interviews, and prepared well.

On the Lakers side, the coaching staff did not allow attention to public opinion before. Their players could not help, but people will always improve. Even if individuals are unwilling to accept things that may make them uncomfortable, they have the right leaders. Most People also did a good job this time, focusing on preparing for the battle.

They know that if they lose another game, they will be dead just like the Warriors!

This season, no team can make a comeback with the Grizzlies playing an advantage. From the beginning of the regular season to the present, it has been so!

It's not too late to make up for it. There are similar proverbs in the United States. Moreover, as Kobe said, they still feel that their team has hope from the bottom of their hearts. After all, they are the defending champions and they have lost two away games~www.wuxiaspot. com~ But they know better that they can’t look at a 75-win team with a regular eye. This team is too stable under any circumstances, even if it’s 11 points behind, it’s all right. Like, step by step to tie the score, and then push everything horizontally... Only by seizing every opportunity can they really have hope!

Another day passed. On May 27, the third match day of the Western Conference Finals arrived, and it was also the fourth match day of the Eastern Conference Finals.

First, at 5 pm California time, which is 8 pm on the Eastern side, the fourth game of the Bulls and 76ers series began.

Behind 0 to 3, the 76ers have completely felt desperate, the defensive end almost gave up, and the Bulls played a crushing game.

118 to 105, the Bulls have won 12 consecutive playoffs and won the finals!

Rose scored 18 points and 7 assists in 29 minutes, Griffin scored 23 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in 31 minutes, Dunleavy and Mirotic both scored 16 points, Noah scored 5 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Gibson 10 points... The Bulls scored as many as six in double figures.

For the 76ers, Evans made 17 of 38 shots, 5 of 13 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored a career-high 46 points in the playoffs and Gasol scored 28 points and 10 rebounds. , But no one else on the 76ers scored in double figures.

...

Just as the Bulls in the Eastern Conference swept the 76ers to the Finals with 12 wins and 0 losses in three consecutive rounds, the Western Conference finals were ready for the two teams to warm up.

Although the Grizzlies do not care about public opinion, they have been paying attention to the situation of the game in another division. The old Hardaway also told his players the final result of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Not to mention, it is full of motivation to push them forward!
