Chapter 271 [Coach Killer? Time will prove everything! 】

The next day, Frank Johnson was fired by the sun, so fast that there was no sign of any sign, and so simple that there were only a few words.

Brian Colangelo did this very neatly because he saw that Guo Xu was really angry. Guo Xu, who is usually known for his humor and wit, rarely smiles when facing the media behind the sun.

As a player, if you question the head coach at the beginning, it will leave a bad impression on the management, so Guo Xu endured it for a while and wanted to change Frank in communication.

As a result, this person is not only a useless, but also very paranoid. He didn't persuade the team's core and first assistant coach. Frank insisted on using the useless center and a half-waste veteran as the starter, which was too much.

The management has no pressure to fire Frank. After Scott Skeles was fired last season, Frank took over in the second half and coached the Suns for 31 games, with a record of 11 wins and 20 losses, only 35.5%.

He was a transitional coach. If the Suns hadn't invited famous coaches to coach in the summer, the team would have no longer needed him.

Not only Brian, but also the boss Jerry Colangelo thinks Frank is a brainless person. He often praises Guo Xu at press conferences, but he is stubborn in tactics and does not listen to Guo Xu's advice at all, causing trouble for him. With his crazy approach, he still wants to have a good relationship with the core of the team?

In short, coaches are easily fired because since the 1990s, the status of players has been increasing. Superstars are much more valuable than head coaches. Even if their record is not good, the stars can still help the team sell tickets.

On the other hand, when the team's performance is not good, the general manager responsible for the operation always asks someone to "take the blame". After all, the money is spent by the manager, and after spending it, the boss must only ask. At this time, the general manager naturally needs to find the person who can take the blame the most to start the operation.

As a business alliance, NBA is eager for quick success and instant benefits, but only the theory of achievement. The combination of economies is the supremacy of interests, and the relationship between each other is secondary. Without a record, Marbury will be traded, so there is no need to mention the most fragile coach in the entire chain.

Guo Xu doesn't remember what happened to Frank bringing the Suns in his previous life. He only vaguely remembers that the Suns made it to the playoffs in the 2002-2003 season, and Marbury did a good job this season.

He is now wondering, with such an undercover coach and two starters who are dragging their legs, how could the Suns make it to the playoffs? Could it be that Marbury is the hidden master, the real number one point guard in the world?

The answer is that the Suns are lucky. Gugliota was seriously injured after only starting 11 games. When he returned in March, the game had already entered the second half. Stardameier secured the start and scored the best rookie level.

Gugliotta's return in the last 16 games has been very short and he has not dragged his feet anymore. This season, averaging 4.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

Chakalidis was seriously injured and reimbursed after playing 33 games, but never came back. The Suns did not renew their contract with him next season, and they had enough. He averaged 4.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

At that time, the media thought that the Suns were finished and they had no center available. Stadameier was a power forward and cameo center, while Booterro and Sgerte were both against poor power forwards.

As a result, the Suns only played 58 games when Hardaway was injured. With average data, they made it into the playoffs and were eliminated in the first round of the Spurs. In the sixth game, the Suns lost only two points. The performance of Serie, Marion and Marbury's trident made the Spurs sweat in a cold sweat, almost making the Spurs lose eight times.

The reason why he played so well was that when the Suns did not have a center in the Shield, Frank could only follow D'Antoni's advice and speed up the pace to run and bomb, and the effect was unexpected.

Now, some butterfly effects caused by Guo Xu have caused some changes in the Sun's schedule and previous life. Gugliotta was not seriously injured. Although Chakalidis could not jump around, he was also squirming on the floor. If he didn't change his handsome guy, the Sun would definitely have to kneel if he continued like this.

There is no strong man in the world who is not airtight. The Suns' dismissal of the head coach has been reported to sports news, and Frank became the first head coach to be dismissed this season.

Frank spoke to reporters about being fired: "Any time, when a person is fired, it's always hurtful and I don't think I've made any mistakes, it's really disappointing."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the reason that you were fired?"

"Jason Guo has always disliked my tactics. He wants to play fast breaks and says he wins offense. I pay more attention to defense. We have a big difference in this regard. And he can talk to assistant coach Mike D'Anthony. I think this is the reason."

Frank was very angry about the Suns firing him. He finally became the head coach and couldn't even finish a full season.

The reporter asked: "What do you think of Jason Guo? Did he force you away?"

NBA has always had some big-name stars who were incompatible with coaches and forced the palace to drive away the coaches. These people are called "coach killers". The reporter wants to guide the topic in this regard, and then it can be extended to Guo Xu's lack of character.

Frank smiled bitterly: "He is always kind and won't get angry, but our philosophy is different. I don't believe that young people like the Suns can become stronger by playing fast breaks. He is still young and too naive. He is surrounded by a group of ordinary teammates now, and the offense cannot be as good as the Lakers."

The reporter asked: "The Lakers currently average only 100.4 points per game, which is a significant decrease from last season. Do you think Jason Guo really has a way to lead the team to attack and win?"

Frank shook his head and said disdainfully: "Time will tell."

That night, Guo Xu invited all the players of the team to have a dinner at a famous local Mexican restaurant to celebrate Frank's resignation.

Not only Guo Xu and D'Antoni, many people on the team can't stand Frank's coaching.

Newcomers dare not speak out. For example, Stadameer was forced by Frank to practice back-fitting. Currently, Xiao Si, who is 208cm tall and weighs only 107 kilograms, has no butt and is not wide on his back. What kind of back is he used to hit his opponent. But Frank felt that back-fitting at low posts was more dominant and could attract double-teams.

Joe Johnson can play singles with the ball and shoot three-pointers. He can share Guo Xu's pressure on the offensive end and is not inefficient. He was arranged by Frank as a pure fixed-point pitcher. He played very well in the first few games when he had the ball. He continued to 15+ consecutively. After becoming a pitcher, he watched the fun while watching the fun. He couldn't use all his skills.

This is to move the floor flow "Contemporary Jordan" towards Fisher. Such a coach may not be fired, but should be shot directly.

Those who disliked him even included Tom Gugliota, who was reused by him.

Tom's physical fitness is already difficult to maintain the ball and attack. He knows it very well in his heart that he cannot play efficiently. But Frank often encourages him to be tough and attack boldly. I'm tough, you girl, I'm less than 5 points per game...

After eating for a while, D'Antoni stood up and spoke, talking about his tactical ideas.

"In the next game, I will give the new players a lot of playing time. I need you all to run and strive to complete an attack in 5-10 seconds. Jason is responsible for promoting the distribution of the ball, and whoever has the chance will take action. You lack experience, and your advantage is your body. If you use this advantage, we will definitely enter the playoffs this year!"

"Okay!" The young players were all excited. (https:)
