Chapter 53 Head Coach's First Battle

In the early morning of December 12th, a message was posted on the official website of the Timberwolves team. Head coach McHale resigned as the head coach and re-assumed the position of general manager of the team, and the team officially hired Pacers assistant coach Frank Vogel is the head coach of the team, from now until the end of the season, with a one-year contract trial period.

Countless news personnel in the NBA who watched the Timberwolves' record were shocked by this news. Has the Timberwolves changed coaches?Frank Vogel, do you know who he is?

The media reporters who are extremely well-informed in inquiring about the news immediately found the resume of the new Timberwolves head coach.

Frank Vogel, the 35-year-old head coach?
Are you kidding such a young boy as the head coach of an NBA team?
This kid's major is actually a medical major, and has nothing to do with basketball. Let's look at what this kid did before, video editing?Are you kidding us?Cutting some basketball videos can be mixed into the position of head coach. When did God arrange such an inspirational plot?

Countless media reporters who are closely related to the NBA league feel crazy, especially the local media in Minnesota, who almost fainted out of breath. The future of the Timberwolves has finally improved, and they actually handed over the team to an unreliable Spectrum of young people, are the Timberwolves really going to take the road of rejuvenation?
The media in Dallas laughed extraordinarily happily. They were happy to see the Timberwolves deflated. This young team has been in the limelight recently. Compared with the dismal results of the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas people are especially looking for some fun. , and the Timberwolves are an excellent choice.

After hearing the news, Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, even laughed out loud, with almost no nostrils upturned. Facing the media interview, the boss who likes to sell the company said: "The new head coach of the Timberwolves? No no no , I haven’t heard of this incident, I don’t pay attention to this team at all, what the Mavericks are doing now should be to deal with how to achieve a good result in the regular season, and then think about their future opponents in the playoffs! "

This passage is tantamount to adding fuel to the flames, stabbing the Timberwolves who have just experienced a coaching change. Everyone knows that the young Timberwolves are in a weak period at the moment, and they are about to face a strong team in the West The New Orleans Hornets, the fierce Hornets led by the queen bee Paul.

The New Orleans Hornets made great strides in the 07 season and achieved an amazing record in the league. Their regular season record of 56 wins and 26 losses created a record in their team history. The second place in the Western Conference also made more people think about this young Hornets. The western powerhouse holds an expectation.

Team leader Chris Paul was selected to the best team in the regular season in the first half of last year, and surpassed Steve Nash and Jason Kidd to become the league's assists and steals kings, although they were eventually defeated by the Spurs 4:3 in the playoffs A comeback, regrettably stopped in the semifinals, but everyone understands that there is still a lot of time left for this Hornets, and they still have enough time to grow.

At the beginning of the new season this year, Paul suffered a left knee injury against the Trail Blazers. Now he is about to make a comeback against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Everyone wants to know, this season, the Queen Bee who will attack the league's first point guard position Paul, what kind of lesson will he give to the Chinese rookies who are now in the limelight.

"Move! Move! Move!"

"Run! Run! Run!"

At this moment, a young and energetic voice is echoing in the Timberwolves' target center. This is the voice of the team's new head coach Frank Vogel. This young head coach is holding a thick book at the moment. , while directing the players to run and pick and roll, while lowering their heads from time to time to record something with a pen, with a focused and serious expression.

"Bruce, do you think this new head coach is reliable?" Kevin Love, who had just easily picked off a defensive rebound, whispered in Li Shihao's ear while passing the basketball to Li Shihao.

Li Shihao looked up at him, with a serious expression, and said without a trace of joke: "How do I know? All I know is that his name is Frank Vogel!"

Kevin Love touched his head, and he was puzzled when he heard this. What does it mean that it is enough to know that his name is Frank Vogel? Is this name famous?
hell!He is not Ferguson in the football world. What can this young head coach do?
"Kevin! You're distracted. Run 20 round-trips. Please execute quickly!" Frank Vogel on the sidelines shouted such a sentence without raising his head, which made Kevin Love break out in a cold sweat when he was distracted.

Kevin Love secretly thought bad luck, in view of the authority of the head coach, he had no choice but to accept the punishment honestly.

When Li Shihao saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but no one noticed.

When Frank Vogel took a pen to write and draw in his notebook, he recorded a lot densely. This was his first time as the head coach of a team, and he needed to work harder than ever.

The greater the responsibility, the more he has to work hard to shoulder it, which has always been regarded as one of the principles of life by him.

Today's Timberwolves are still very young, this brand new team is empty, and there are still many places that he needs to fill. As a new head coach, it is undoubtedly a lucky thing to implement such a team, but at the same time it makes He was stressed.

He needs to lead the Timberwolves to create glory again, and even win the championship. This is not only the goal of every player, but also his goal as a head coach.

"The ability of center Marc Gasol can be tapped more, he needs more possessions to develop ability..."

"Well, Darko has a good ability. If he is used well, he can bring great help to the team in the substitute lineup..."

"Kevin's rebounding needs to be improved. In addition, his three-point long-range shooting ability seems to be pretty good. We can cultivate his three-point ability. If necessary, it will have unexpected effects when used as a high-position fort..."

"Brewer's defensive ability is good, his speed is fast, and his wingspan is excellent, but he is a little thin. If he gains a little weight, he may be able to give the team more help on the flank!"

"As for Bruce..."

Frank Vogel pinched his brows that were a little sore, and there was nothing to do, but this place is full of hope for him!
December 12th.The Timberwolves headed to New Orleans for an away game against the Hornets led by Queen Bee Paul.

Before the game, when a local media reporter in New Orleans interviewed Frank Vogel and asked about his views on the game, Frank Vogel replied with a smile: "We will take a victory here tonight!"

The reporter in New Orleans was very dissatisfied with this answer. He moved the microphone to the Timberwolves rookie Bruce Lee, hoping to get a different answer and hype it up.

But I didn't want Li Shihao to bow his head and tie his shoelaces, and said lightly: "I believe he can lead us to victory!"

The reporters in New Orleans went crazy when they heard the words. Are all Minnesotans so unreasonable?

Chris Paul got the answer to this interview that night, and he smiled slightly: "I will tell them this is New Orleans!"

The sharpness of the words was revealed, Paul's eyes were full of fighting spirit, the bee sting was already in sight, and the battle was imminent.

(Will the Spurs' Sanji guys be too lonely, let's create a new CP combination~)
