Basketball League of Legends

Chapter 127 Fiasco
"That's right, our victory in this game is entirely due to Coach Pat. His defensive strategy against Johnny is really good. We use Voshan, a very athletic player, to defend Johnny, and another player is ready to cover him at any time. Clip, this defensive strategy allowed Johnny to take only 5 shots in the entire game and scored 11 points. I think Coach Pat has created a way to deal with Jonny Lee, and this method will be widely used.”

Watching Tim Hardaway talking on TV, Jonny's face was a little gloomy. He is not a person who likes to blame others. Since entering the NBA, even if there are some problems, Jonny will always be there. I looked for the reason myself, but now Jonny really feels the gap, not the gap between him and others, but the gap between Magic coach Rich Adubatu and Pat Riley.

In the first game between the Magic and the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Magic lost 22 points. Jonny's complete misfire was considered by everyone to be the main reason for the Magic's loss.

But only the Magic players knew what was going on. From the very beginning of the game, Rich Adubatu was led by the nose by Pat Riley.Johnny was frozen, and Rich Adubatu couldn't think of a way at all. He arranged Johnny's singles tactics, but it was completely useless. The Heat still double-teamed, locking up Johnny's shooting space.

But Johnny also knows that Rich Adubato's ability is only these. After the last game, Rich Adubato also apologized to the team, but for Johnny, the most important thing now is not Richie Adubatu's apology, but the next few games, what should the Magic do.

What can the Magic do when Patley locks up the Magic with iron-blooded defense?At least outside media reporters and experts believe that the Magic has no way.

ESPN thinks: "The Magic were killed by the Heat. Can they find out any way to help Jonny Lee get out of the quagmire of double-teaming? I don't think so. In this round of the series, it is conservatively estimated that the Heat will be 4: 2 beat the magic to advance!"

And Yahoo Sports believes: "No one thought that Pat Riley would do such a move. Now it's okay. The regular season scoring champion is misfired. The Magic lost their most critical scoring point. There is nothing to say in this round of the series. Now, the Heat will join forces with the Bulls, and finally, Pat Riley deserves to be the best coach."

However, a sentence from the host of NBC Sports TV reminded Jonny: "Now, the situation of the Eastern and Western playoffs is clear. The Magic is likely to be eliminated by the Heat. Their leading scorer is locked by Pat Riley. , unless Jonny Lee can improve his own strength in the short term."

"Improve your own strength in a short period of time?" Jonny frowned, got into the system, looked at the 14 energy points, and felt that it was time to use 14 energy points.

What if you used up energy points to improve your off-ball movement?Johnny felt that there might be something to play, and he used a faster speed to get rid of his opponent and get a momentary opening.

The turmoil of the outside world has already affected the Magic. At least John Gabriel, who seldom appears in the training hall, has appeared here several times. Sometimes when chatting with Johnny, he would ask him in a cryptic way about his coaching change. .

Johnny is a little tangled. On the one hand, Rich Adubatu has indeed shown a lower level than many head coaches since the playoffs. Even the head coach of the Hornets in the first round, Dave Cowens, It is conceivable that he can occasionally overwhelm Rich Adubatu tactically.But on the other hand, Jonny is not very willing to leave the Magic with Rich Adubato, not to mention the reason that Rich Adubato is his Bole, as long as Jonny thinks of Brian Hill, he will be inexplicably against the coaching change There is a resistance.

And Jonny feels that even if Richie Adubatu is not capable enough, he can help the team go all the way.There is no need for the team to change coaches at all, so Jonny also implicitly expressed that he does not want to change coaches.

Johnny felt that things were over like this. Although the whole world was talking about the end of the Magic, the Heat might sweep the Magic, etc., Johnny was also helpless. All he could do was wait for the next game.The next game was only one day away, but Jonny did not expect that public opinion would cause so many things to happen to the Magic, and what happened next made Jonny even more angry.

Anfernee Hardaway found Johnny, and his tone was not so kind.

"Jonnie, come here!" On May 5, after training, in the locker room of the training hall, Anfernee Hardaway called Jonny in a very angry tone.

Johnny was a little strange at the time. In his impression, Anfernee Hardaway had never performed like this.The two walked to a corner of the training hall, and Johnny quickly understood why Anfernee Hardaway was looking for him. Anfernee Hardaway asked why Johnny was unwilling to change coaches, and the two had an incident The quarrel was seen by several magic players who were still training.

"No, no, no, I just don't understand why you don't want to change coaches? This is something that is good for all of us. You have seen Rich's ability. This is the situation now, you have to understand" An Fen Nihadavi was spitting and talking.

Jonny was a little unwilling to listen, he interrupted Anfernee Hardaway: "But, we haven't lost this round of the series, haven't we? We should give Rich some time, shouldn't we?" Jonny's The words were also a bit fierce. In short, the two seemed to have a fierce conflict.

"It's natural not to change the coach for the time being, but what about in the future? There will definitely be a change in the future!"

"But if Rich leads the team successfully, why do we need to change?" Johnny said again, Anfernee Hardaway stopped talking, and the two remained silent.Then time passed by, no one spoke, and then they went home separately.Jonny thought that the coaching change was over, but he didn't know that the management of the Magic had already started to act.

"John, Penny just came here again. He said that no matter what, Rich will be replaced, but it can be postponed until next season." A middle-aged man said to John Gabriel at the desk.

John Gabriel nodded: "Okay, I see, help me contact these people." Then the middle-aged man left the office with a list, and on that list were a few people who were unemployed at home nba coach.

And on May 5th, the second game between the Magic and the Heat, the morning before the start of the game, the argument that the Magic could not beat the Heat became more and more popular, especially on this day when Jonny and Anferni Hada were exposed. The news of Wei's quarrel in the training hall, the outside world's confidence in the Magic has been almost wiped out, and even the local media in Orlando are somewhat sad that the Magic will stop in the second round.

The second game between the Magic and the Heat started in this atmosphere.
