Chapter 160 Thank you for your text message(2/4)
The suggestions of this group of experts have been recognized by many Suns fans, and they all think this should be done.
It's not that they don't want to continue to believe in Stephen Curry. They are still very satisfied with Stephen Curry, but through Stephen Curry's performance in these two games, they can see that Stephen Curry is not Lin Ri, and he still needs some training.
Dragic has had time to grow. After all, Dragic has played one more season and turned the Spurs over. He has much more experience than Stephen Curry, so he should be allowed to start.
"I think Stephen should really go on the bench and let Golan try to start!"
"I don't agree. Stephen is obviously more suitable to partner with the sun than Golan. Just look at the chemistry between the two of them on the court. Stephen can cooperate with the sun, but Golan can't. He can't shoot like Stephen. He needs to let him play more.
The sun will cooperate with him in the pick-and-roll..."
The same view also exists among the Suns' assistant coaching staff, but there is also another voice among the assistant coaching staff: they believe that Stephen Curry is more suitable to partner with Lin Ri.
Because Stephen Curry's playing style can better match Lin Ri, rather than asking Lin Ri to cooperate with him.
Gentry himself prefers this sound.
In his opinion, Lin Ri has proven that he can play as the absolute core on the court. The team cannot let him play with others just because he loses, right?
Even if Lin Ri agreed to do this, he would not agree to do it.
Otherwise, wouldn't his character as a head coach with high emotional intelligence collapse?
In short, Gentry has no plans to change the starting lineup.
For the next period of time for the Suns, until Steve Nash returns, Stephen Curry will be the starting point guard.
But now he must solve a thorny problem: how to improve Stephen Curry's organizational weaknesses.
The lack of overall perspective is a problem that can be seen in Stephen Curry. He is a good number one position, but he is definitely not a good ball handler.
This is a problem that can be seen in the past two losing games.
Therefore, if you want Stephen Curry to continue to be the main point player, then one problem that must be solved immediately is his weak organizational ability.
I have a headache!!
But where is this problem that can be solved immediately?
The general solution to a player's lack of overall perspective is to play more and watch the ball more. Once he plays more balls and gains enough experience, his overall perspective will improve to a certain extent.
This is why it is said that "point guards become more and more sophisticated as they get older".
Apart from this method, there is no other solution at all, let alone a way to undermine the situation.
Gentry felt like his hair was scratching bald because of this.
Fortunately, their next game will be at home against the Wizards, who are not strong enough. Even if they can't solve this problem, they should have no problem stopping their losing streak.
As long as he wins, public opinion's condemnation of Stephen Curry will lessen.
And after the game against the Wizards, 9 days have passed since Steve Nash was injured. Judging from Steve Nash's latest recovery progress, he will be back in two or three games.
, then Stephen Curry can return to the bench.
Then slowly improve it!
Well, yes, after a night of scratching his head, Gentry resigned himself to his fate.
There is no way, he is really not proficient in the offensive end of the business.
However, when Gentry made up his mind to go to team training the next day, he saw a familiar but somewhat out-of-place guy - Steve Kerr appearing on the sidelines again.
"What are you doing here?" Gentry was very alert.
"I just came to take a look." Steve Kerr looked at Gentry and replied with a smile.
"..." You didn't come to see it earlier, you didn't come to see it later, but you came to see the team lose two games in a row. How could it be such a coincidence? Gentry didn't believe it.
But Steve Kerr didn't tell him, and he couldn't ask more questions. He could only watch the Suns players training with fear, and occasionally glance at Steve Kerr out of the corner of his eye to see the latter.
Reaction.
For some reason, he thought of that chubby face again.
I shouldn't follow in that guy's footsteps, right?
Gentry was panicked.
Steve Kerr just watched like this. When the intra-team competition ended in the morning, he turned around and left. He didn't show up again until the end of training.
Um?
what's the situation?
Gentry was confused.
However, when he took out his phone, he found a text message from Steve Kerr.
???
!!!
Isn't it?
Stop it!
Gentry's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot, and he thought to himself: It's not dismissal, it's not dismissal, it's not dismissal.
Then his hand trembled slightly and he clicked on the message Steve Kerr sent him: Man, I think the sun looks like Chris Webber, what do you think?
Um?
What the hell is this?
Gentry looked at the message Steve Kerr sent him and was confused again.
What does this mean?
Does The Sun, like Chris Webber, send me a special message?
What kind of plane is this guy doing?
Gentry stared at the text message for a long time, still not understanding what Steve Kerr was talking about.
But out of politeness, well, definitely not because Officer Steve Kerr can crush people to death, Gentry responded: I think so, man.
When Steve Kerr saw the message, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and he thought: OK! This guy really understands what I mean!
Then you will definitely win tomorrow’s game!
No, if we play the Wizards tomorrow, we can win without using my methods.
If we play the day after tomorrow, the Bobcats will definitely win!
Steve Kerr is satisfied.
I also gave a thumbs up to my emotional intelligence.
He felt that by reminding Gentry in this way, he could let the other party know his thoughts on changing the formation, and at the same time, he would be concerned about his identity as the head coach, which would give him enough face.
He is really awesome at how he behaves!
but……
"It's better for me to be the head coach myself."
Steve Kerr still couldn't help but say something.
For him, the current lineup of the Suns is like a five-star chef facing a dazzling array of ingredients. There are too many dishes he can cook.
…
Game day against the Wizards is coming soon.
The Suns fans who came to watch the game tonight were much more serious than before.
I don't blame them for their expressions.
The Suns are currently losing two games in a row, and their record in the Western Conference standings is already the same as that of the Lakers. If they lose again tonight, they will fall to third place in the Western Conference.
Therefore, even though Suns fans know that their opponent tonight is the Wizards, currently ranked last in the Eastern Conference, they really cannot laugh with confidence until they actually win.
Needless to say, what Suns fans feared has really come true.
Although the Wizards are the weakest among the weak, they even suffered a 9-game losing streak before coming to the Suns.
But tonight they played very vigorously. They were tied 50-50 with the Suns from the beginning, and in the second quarter they actually started to dominate the Suns.
They seem to be saying that the weak team also needs face, we can lose 9 consecutive games, but we cannot lose 10 consecutive games!
They led by 8 points, 59-51, before the end of the first half.
The main problem for the Suns is still Stephen Curry, and it's still the same problem. He controls the ball when he shouldn't have the ball, and he always takes shots in a hurry when he shouldn't.
Generally speaking, if you change a team, such as the Lakers or Cavaliers, the poor state of the No. 1 position will have a minimal impact on the entire team. In other words, many tactics of the Suns are initiated from the No. 1 position.
For a team, if the point guard is not playing well, especially on the offensive end, it will affect the entire team!
Seeing that their fears were about to come true, the Suns fans at the scene could no longer hold back their temper. The target of their anger was Gentry:
"Go to hell, bastard, can't you even beat the Wizards?"
"Gentry, what the hell are you doing? Can even the Wizards lose?"
To be continued...
