Chapter 88

Extremely jealous

Author: Different Sparks

Extremely jealous

Rick Adelman, born in the beautiful country of California in 1946, is a former NBA player. However, Adelman's appearance as a player was more outstanding than his performance. Adelman, who was deeply influenced by the hippie style, always wore a cat on his head during his player period.

Wang's hairstyle is completely different from his current appearance.

As a player, his season average did not exceed 12.6 points.

However, after starting his coaching career, Adelman, like Chen Dazhuang, became famous in one battle. He served as an assistant coach with the Trail Blazers for 7 years, and then successfully took over in the middle of the 1988-89 season.

In his first full season as coach, from 1989 to 1990, he successfully led the Blazers to the Finals.

Although he lost to the Pistons in the end, this was definitely his last game to become famous for Adelman. The Blazers were led by Drexler.

Then in the 1991-92 season, Adelman led the Trail Blazers to the Finals again. This was also the last trip to the Finals in Adelman's coaching career, but unfortunately this time he met the God of Basketball, Jordan.

Then Adelman's coaching peak should be the Kings again, and the famous basketball school Princeton was carried forward under his hands. Of course, he was not the founder. At that time, the founder of Princeton, Peter Carell, was already an assistant coach with the Kings.

After staying in the position for too long, the seed had been sown, and Adelman came and pushed it out.

The most glorious season was the 2001-02 season. At that time, the Kings defeated the Lakers with 61 wins and became the first in the Western Conference. However, they lost to the Lakers in the final tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals. Since then, the Kings have been known for their gorgeous offense.

It started to go downhill.

From the Kings to the Rockets and then the Timberwolves.

After Milt took office, the relationship between Adelman and him deteriorated sharply. In addition, Adelman's record in the Timberwolves was indeed not ideal, and he did not receive any support, including owner Taylor and team president Sander.

Si, eventually resigned sadly.

In this way, Chen Dazhuang was also put on the list of enemies by Adelman.

Now these enemies will finally meet in the regular season.

On December 30, the Timberwolves will face their last opponent in 2013 - the Dallas Mavericks - at the Target Center. The grudges between the two teams this season have also made this game the focus of everyone's attention.

This is the third meeting between the two sides this season. The first two times ended with the Timberwolves winning.

The personal feud between Adelman and Chen Dazhuang, the dispute between Adelman and the Timberwolves, the feud between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves, and Carter and Martin facing their former teams at the same time.

Since Adelman became the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, he has also been under a lot of pressure. The former Rick Carlisle was also a meritorious coach of Dallas, bringing the team the only championship trophy in team history.

Now that Adelman has taken office, naturally the media and fans will be used to comparing the two.

The most direct comparison is performance.

Before this game, the Dallas Mavericks had completed exactly 30 games in the regular season this season, with a total record of 17 wins and 13 losses, and were currently ranked tenth in the Western Conference.

Coincidentally, Adelman has completed exactly 10 games after taking over the Dallas Mavericks. In these ten games, Adelman's team record is 5 wins and 5 losses, so in terms of record comparison alone, Adelman is weaker than

Carlisle's.

Of course, this is not the biggest source of pressure. After all, this can be explained by the fact that everything is still getting used to the team that I just joined.

The biggest pressure was the deal between Carter and Martin that Adelman advocated. Martin's performance quickly fell into obscurity after joining Dallas. This was the main reason why Adelman was questioned.

So if you want to get rid of this doubt, this game is undoubtedly the best proof.

In Adelman's view, there are too many reasons to win this game.

So an ordinary regular season, with the media's hype and the promotion of the league, everything became extraordinary.

Before the game even started, the two sides started a war of words.

"I don't think the Timberwolves can go very far this season. This is all the result of media hype. Chen has no patience with young people at all. Giannis is obviously a very talented player. I think such a talented player

The young man will ruin him in the Timberwolves, I'm very optimistic about him

, In terms of training young players, I think Chen still has a lot to learn. Whether a team can go further depends not on the current results, but on whether the team's foundation is stable. Obviously the opponent does not

If we do this well, there is still a big difference between the NCAA and the NBA."

In order to boost the team's morale, Adelman also personally took the first shot.

"I think the most important thing for Mr. Adelman now is not to care about our stability. I think he should focus more on himself. Mr. Carlisle brought a championship to Dallas. I don't know that Adel

What will Mr. Mann bring to Dallas."

Just talk, who is afraid of this thing? He has no intention of coddling the other person.

"After winning against Dallas last time, the other team's head coach resigned. I wonder if he will be like Mr. Carlisle if we win again this time? The Dallas people may have to start looking for a successor."

Seeing the person he respects the most being dissed by the opponent, player Anthony Bennett was the first to stand up and stab him, not to mention that the stab was very accurate.

"Rookie, if you want to gain a foothold in the league, you must first learn to respect others." This is Marion's words.

"Respect is mutual. If you want me to respect others, the other person must first learn to respect me."

"I am very familiar with the Timberwolves and very familiar with Chen. I think there will be no doubt that the victory in this game will belong to Dallas, and I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Martin stood up and vowed.

A declaration of victory.

In fact, who among the players on both sides is the most unwilling, it has to be Martin. He himself does not understand why. He originally thought that after coming to Dallas, he would soon be able to rely on his performance to gain his status in the team.

surpassed Nowitzki, after all, he is a player appointed by Adelman, and he has indeed produced good data with the Timberwolves this season.

But he didn't expect that after arriving in Dallas, he seemed to be acclimatized, so this game against the Timberwolves was also the most important game for him to prove himself.

For a time, both sides sang and I appeared on the stage. This excitement also made the media reporters happy.

It also made them sure of one thing again, that is, as long as there is a Timberwolves game, there is absolutely no need to worry about breaking news.
