Chapter 144 Lu Wei is leaving?
The 76ers did a good job in the first half of the month, and the outside world's evaluation of them finally changed.
Now, they are already optimistic that they can return to the playoffs this year. The only problem is how far they can go without superstars in the team.
Of course, for these young people, it is actually a good thing that there are no superstars in the team, so that they can explore their own abilities to the greatest extent.
Coach Stevens was also praised by the media as a good coach. Although everyone thought that this rookie coach might become a joke in coaching history at the beginning of the season, I really didn't expect that in more than a month, they could lead the team to the upper eastern circle, especially to beat the Heat.
This immediately slapped a group of experts and media in the face, but fortunately, the meaning of their existence is to be slapped in the face, and the more miserable the slapped in the face, the happier they seem to be... No expert or media has ever withdrawn from this industry because they were slapped in the face too miserable.
After all, if the media is a gimmick, experts need to attract attention, and everyone depends on popularity. Sometimes speaking something unconventional is very helpful to increase popularity.
As for the media that are slapped in the face, haha, the media that are not slapped in the face are not good media! An expert who is not slapped in the face is not good experts!
Stevens is currently working diligently to continue to consider the team's future games. It is rare that he has not played these days and he dare not rest.
After all, it is the rookie season, and the current results are not enough to make him gain a foothold in the league. Like several rookie players on the team, Stevens will have a sense of anxiety during the rookie period.
Of course, because he is the head coach, the direct pressure may not be that great. The rookie wall does not exist directly for him, but an indirect influence.
The problem that Stevens is now that the team's lineup is not deep enough. The 76ers are very young, but there are still too few people they can really play.
Iguodala is now gradually taking over the team's bench, which is not consistent with Stevens' expectations before the start of the game. In his expectations, Iguodala was the team's starting shooting guard and the strongest defensive.
However, the number one player has proved to be a waste of resources in the past month. His style is very similar to Stevens's disciple Hayward, and his offensive range also overlaps. In addition, if Iguodala starts, their lineup will lack someone who can open the opponent's defense.
Simply put, there is no pitcher.
If their strongest pitcher Korver is placed on the bench, he will basically have no room to play. After all, Louis Williams, a master of chaos, has only the basket in his eyes and will not pass the ball at all.
So in the more than a month of experiments, the solution found by Stevens was to let Iguodala play the sixth man and let him lead the entire substitute.
Iguodala is a player who chooses to make sacrifices for victory, and his status as a substitute is very high. Stevens almost gave him Ginobili's status and privileges in the Spurs, which made Iguodala very satisfied.
After all, the best sixth person also has a trophy. If there is no hope of winning other trophys, Iguodala feels that it is not a loss if she can win the best sixth person.
Putting Iguodala on the bench is indeed a good thing for the team's starting lineup. Korver's threat has become very great with the help of Han Miao. After Han Miao's own three-pointer was also developed, Korver's threat has become even greater!
There are two very accurate muskets on the outside, and it is impossible to put either one. In the later game last month, the 76ers opened up their opponent's defense line, and then allowed Hayward and others to break through or play singles in the inside.
So is there any problem with this style of play? There are still some. Although Iguodala added a lot of weight to the bench after going to the bench, the 76ers' substitutes are still the last few in the league.
Why, because after Iguodala came to the bench, one of them became very unhappy, and he even became silent in several games.
This person is Lou Wei. He was originally a 76ers' bench and a master of random battles, but his playing style is extremely slap. Lou Wei, who has no ball in hand, is a scumbag...
And Iguodala is definitely not allowed to play without the ball, and the ball rights must be guaranteed. In this way, Lu Wei can only become the victim of the more tragic.
Actually, Iguodala is so good. When he was leading the substitute, Iguodala passed the ball to Lu Wei very much.
However, at this time, Lou Wei is not someone who can shoot by receiving the ball. He needs to control the ball by himself to find the ball before he can shoot. Therefore, every time Iguodala passes, Lou Wei has to drive a few more times by himself. Sometimes, the chance is very good, but he has no chance after being transported. And even if he scores after dribbling, Iguodala's assists have flew away.
Lou Wei's efficiency has dropped to freezing point in just over a month. Now he averages only more than 7 points per game, which is really not as good as a score-grabbing expert.
And in this way, the substitute, which was originally stronger because of Iguodala, was weakened again, and there was still no one available for the substitute!
Therefore, Lu Wei actually planned to leave 76 people in mid-November.
After all, it would not work like this. Lu Wei still hopes to have a good contract in the future. His figure is a disadvantage in the league. If he cannot show his scoring ability, he will be really disappointed. It is better to leave as soon as possible. It is better to get together and break up and attack each other in the future.
So, in December, Lou Wei took the initiative to find the head coach and manager and made a request to leave the team.
This is a bit of a scam, because he took the initiative to leave the team. For a moment, the 76ers couldn't even find the trading partner! The 76ers manager was not even ready to face such a sudden transaction situation!
Nonsense, the team is in a great situation at the moment, who would want to trade?
What's trouble now about Stevens and the manager is that Lou Wei has a good attitude and takes the initiative to ask for transactions. It's not the kind of intentionally not fighting well and then forcing you to trade, which makes them not even angry.
What a fuck... Lu Wei is so fucked, he won't say it sooner or later, but he just said it at this time!
"Brad, who do we want to change?"
The manager of 76ers asked Stevens.
"I don't know either!"
Stevens is also a headache. There are not many cheap and easy-to-use people in the league, and each one is the team's treasure. How can I change it by changing it?
"Oh, it seems that such troublesome things will be handed over to God again."
Chapter completed!
