Chapter 336 Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight 2
Author: Different Sparks
It's just that regardless of the tens of thousands of Rockets fans at home, Harden was very disappointed at the end of the game.
The Rockets lost, losing to the Thunder 97-99 at home. What was even more uncomfortable was that the Rockets had been leading for most of the game, leading the Thunder by 16 points at most, but in the fourth quarter they collapsed again inexplicably.
No matter how Carlisle adjusted, the Rockets collectively forgot how to play basketball. The Thunder not only tied the score with a burst of energy, but were even killed by Durant's three-pointer at the last moment.
Losing in this way can be said to be unacceptable to all Rockets fans.
"Why do you think the Rockets are like this? No matter which head coach comes, this situation will always happen, and it seems like it can't be corrected. This is so fucking evil." Da Zhuang and Vog who came to the team
The two of us talked about this while watching Carlisle's helpless expression on TV.
"The Rockets lack a spirit and foundation. The way the Rockets have been building the team over the years has caused this situation. This is not a problem that any head coach can easily solve." Vogel said.
Da Zhuang was stunned by Vogel's words. He didn't expect Vogel to say it to the point. Thinking about it, Vogel's words were indeed right.
To put it simply, the Rockets' problem is that their team building method is too utilitarian.
"What's wrong? You don't think Rick doesn't know, right? He knows it very well. You have to know that he has been in Dallas for many years before. They are in Texas with Houston. How could he not be aware of it? And it's not difficult to guess.
The Rockets' problems are no secret in the league."
"Since you said it's not a secret, why don't you make changes?"
"How to change? Who will change? Chen, do you think everyone can be like you? Change requires paying a price. It is very likely that you will not see any results for three to five years. Can the fans accept this? You
Think about the former Timberwolves. This responsibility is not something that a head coach can fulfill. Chen, you are very lucky. You are lucky that you have made the best choices every step of the way. Coupled with the relationship between the club and you,
These are things other head coaches don't have. Do you think the head coach has a high status in the team? Look at Cleveland, David is an excellent head coach, but so what."
Da Zhuang agrees with what Vogel said. It is indeed what Vogel said.
To be honest, if he hadn't been involved, he would have been kicked out earlier than he knows. Moreover, Da Zhuang later heard Milt say that if Kelly hadn't joined the Timberwolves, even if he had good grades, he might not have been able to keep it.
Location.
In the final analysis, the head coach has too little power in the team.
"Chen, do you know why you have had so few troubles lately?"
"Why? I've been very low-key lately."
"No, this has nothing to do with whether you are low-key or not. It is because your presence enhances the status of the head coach in the team, so everyone is grateful to you. You are indeed the biggest beneficiary of the league pushing you.
But it also indirectly made many people notice that the role of a head coach in the team is not only to coach the game, but also to do more. Although no one can reach your current situation, it is undeniable that you are changing our hearts among the fans.
Your status is the reason why no one troubles you."
Damn it, Da Zhuang was stunned when he heard Vogel say this.
A while ago, he had no one to trouble him recently. Even when playing against Dallas or the Warriors, no one who had a grudge against him stood up to provoke him. At first, Da Zhuang thought it was because of the alliance.
"Chen, come on, work hard. All of us don't mind if you become the best head coach on the planet. Of course, we will try our best to defeat you." Vogel patted Da Zhuang's shoulder and said.
When I went there, I was just feeding people chicken soup, and today I was fed a mouthful of chicken soup.
