729 Helping the Head Coach

With Chamberlain and Nelson Jr., others could not be too terrible, so Iverson and Billups were sad and began to fire at Riley.

It's interesting now. The game hasn't started yet. Both sides started talking, and the bombing was so fierce. This is much more interesting than playing the game.

Riley was still fighting alone at first. After the Warriors' team even had physical fitness experts, he couldn't stand it anymore because the players had fans, and fans followed him to Twitter and almost made a big splash.

"Do you think you only have an apprentice? No, I have more apprentice." Riley threw away his phone and stopped tweeting, but instead pulled out the phone and started calling one by one.

It was interesting now. The two coaches who were supposed to be talking to each other calmed down and the people below began to fight fiercely.

This made outsiders sigh, Damn, there are indeed generals and generals, you can kill and hurt your opponent without having to go into battle in person.

Don't think that Riley is not popular. In fact, this handsome man not only has a well-known reputation in the sports circle, but also has many fans in the entertainment industry, because his appearance, dress and hairstyle are very similar to the generation of movie hero Al-Sino.

There have always been many people who support Riley, especially those who appreciate Riley's perfectionism and military rigor.

Riley always demands disciples with the most perfect standards. He plays in the playoffs in the regular season, so the Lakers in the 8th could dominate the Western Conference nine times in the regular season. Riley is an All-Star coach almost every year, so the NHA had to introduce the "Riley Law": the same coach is not allowed to coach the All-Star Game for two consecutive years.

As the number one general under Riley, Wade has to charge forward, and Riley is very good at using language to inspire this technique. He called Wade and said only one sentence: "Jordan never stayed silent when Zen Master Jackson was attacked."

As we all know, Riley has valued Wade very much from the beginning. After Wade's rookie defeated the Hornets in the playoffs, Riley, who has always had a "Jordan sentiment" in his heart, said bluntly that Wade has a killer instinct, very much like Jordan.

For Riley, the more he values, the more he likes to train and give him a small training session.

In order to hone Wade, Riley even appointed Spoelstra, who had just changed from a video editor to an assistant coach at the time, to be responsible for special training for Wade |

It was also after Riley made several minor training that Wade could only make a leap in the first three years of his career: he led the team to the semi-finals in the first year, promoted to the Eastern Conference All-Star starting guard in the second year, entered the top five in the scoring list, and led the team to win the championship in the third year.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2UU finals, the Heat returned to Miami with a score of 02, and the morale of the whole team was a little disintegrated.

At this time, Riley pointed to the Jordan jersey hanging above the American Airlines Center and said, "I know, if I had Michael Jordan now, I would definitely win back." After that, he stared at Wade.

That night, Wade did not return home until two in the morning when he was training.

As you know, not only does Riley have a Jordan complex, but Wade, as a Chicago native, dreamed of becoming Jordan since he was a child.

In the end, Wade really possessed Jordan in the last four games. He averaged 3-pointers, B-rebounds, B6 assists, 2B steals, and 0 blocks in the last four games. After winning the championship, Riley exclaimed: "Wade is Jordan tonight, but he is 6 cm shorter than Jordan."

So, after receiving the call from Riley, Wade was once again energetic.

In terms of rigorous military governance, Old Nelson is undoubtedly a contrast to Riley. He likes to give stars a lot of freedom to play at will in the regular season, and he doesn't care even if he loses. He even arranges stars to take a break regularly. Iverson and Billups didn't play in the game.

Wade is also a smart person, so he launched an attack from this point and said on Twitter: "Some people can win the championship, but that's not his credit. He is just a superstar nanny rather than a tactical master. He is too indulging in the head coach of the stars under his command, not a good head coach. Mr. Riley won completely in this regard."

Seeing Wade's reply, Old Nelson sneered, and he said to his subordinates: "Don't pay attention to this ungrateful boy. Follow Riley. Sooner or later, he will cry. I bet that the boy's body is over and his peak is over."

Chamberlain agrees with this. Riley has high expectations for Wade and the training intensity assigned to Wade is higher. From 2UU07 to 2070B season, Wade frequently suffered injuries in these two seasons. This is certainly because he used "Wade's fall" in the game before, but it is also because Riley blindly increased the amount in the devil's training.

Soon, Twitter became lively. Old Nelson has been in the world for many years and has his own hometown in the Celtics, Bucks, Mavericks, etc. Riley is not inferior to him in this regard. He also founded the peak years of the Lakers and Knicks.

So, the former stars of these teams began to quarrel for the old coach. Now it was a bit difficult for the Knicks to do because Old Nelson also coached the Knicks.

For a moment, Twitter was full of turmoil, and Magic Johnson, Worthy, Jabbar, Ewing, Oakley and other famous players ran out. On the side of Old Nelson, there were also Richmond's, Chris Mullin, Nowitzki and Nash to help.

In addition, the appearance of a character helped the Twitter gun battle to climax: The topic king O'Neal participated in the battle

The tactic of shark-cutting tactic that greatly reduced O'Neal's career status was invented by Old Nelson. After this theory was proposed, teams in the league used this tactic to deal with O'Neal.

For this reason, O'Neal pointed out that Old Nelson's tricks were despicable, and it was completely a clown's behavior. So, O'Neal and Old Nelson should have a bad relationship, and he won the Heat in 2UU in 2018. So, he should have a good relationship with Riley.

But this is a misunderstanding. O'Neal has a good relationship with Old Nelson, and his relationship with Riley is still very stiff.

This is because Old Nelson was diagnosed with prostate cancer and returned to the arena after surgery. Just in the game against the Lakers, Old Nelson brought the red nose that the clown used because O'Neal said he was a clown. O'Neal laughed when he saw it, took the red nose down and put it on his nose, and told Old Nelson that you just did what the head coach should do, but I am the clown.

Speaking of the love, hate and love between O'Neal and Riley, it's a long-term future. There are too many twists and turns, and you can write a book.

In fact, Riley and Sharks disliked each other as early as the shark rookie season. In the 19-season, the Knicks' record was far better than the Magic, but the rookie Sharks beat Ewing to be the All-Star starter.

Riley was very dissatisfied and believed that it would be a blasphemy to basketball if a rookie who is not serious about the game and can only be sensational when riding a superstar who is diligent in training and playing basketball.

As the Eastern Conference All-Star coach, Riley only gave the starting Sharks 2 minutes that year's full name match, which made the Sharks very dissatisfied. The two later staged a war of words. Riley mocked the Sharks for being too lazy: "NH does not lack talent, but some people regard their fat as part of their talent. Without the correct attitude, talent alone can never win the championship."

Sharks have been verbal battles with Riley in the early years. Riley has always been unable to stand O'Neal's attitude of showing off his talent instead of training hard.

O'Neal mocked Riley for training every day but didn't see them winning the championship. In 1995, the Knicks planned to exchange Ewing for O'Neal. Riley refused to obey and therefore turned against the top leaders, and eventually left Miami.

Here is an explanation: Riley and Old Nelson were both in the Knicks, and the one who advocated the use of Ewing to O'Neal was Old Nelson. Now many people should be able to understand why the two old men started fighting as soon as the reporters sowed.

In short, because Riley was criticized a lot in his early years, after the Lakers won the championship, O'Neal complained about Riley in his autobiography: I will never play for Pat Riley in my life and I was very unhappy when I was selected as an All-Star for the first time. He only gave me 2 minutes, and he would force a veteran like me who is almost 3 years old to train for an hour a day. For me, two hours of training is enough

In addition, in 205, O'Neal traveled east to Miami. At first, the team was coached by Van Gundy. At that time, the Sharks almost got MP. Van Gundy's request for him was to let him put all his energy and physical strength on the field and pretend to be on the training ground.

But after Riley became the head coach, the Sharks were forced to train harder, but his various statistics instantly dropped to a career low. More importantly, the Sharks' threat in the field dropped sharply: although he tried hard to complete the training volume specified by Riley on the training ground, he felt unprecedentedly unable to do so when he walked on the field - the old Shark was tired.

In addition to the problems with physical reserves, the fat standard also gave Shaq a headache. After several disputes, Riley gave the "green light" as long as its content is 13. Shaq, whose fat content is reduced, began to suffer from injuries: "My masseur Andy Qusia said that the Heat made me too thin and I couldn't withstand the impact of my opponents on the court as before."

After winning the championship, the Heat players' bodies reached a limit, so the Heat suffered injuries in the following season and were destroyed in the 207 playoffs.

At the beginning of the 2070B season, Wade was injured again, and the Sharks were injured in the end of February. No matter what the Heat's medical method could not detect the root cause of the shark's thigh pain, so Riley decided that the Shark was lazy and cheated on the injury.

The conflict eventually broke out. In a training class in February 26, when Riley and "White Chocolate" quarreled over training, the shark tried to persuade him to fight, and Riley's spearhead suddenly turned to the shark: If you don't like this, you can get out immediately. Riley and the shark swear at each other and push each other's chest. After that conflict, the shark was immediately sent away.

From this we can see that there are so many things between O'Neal and Riley. I didn't have the chance before, and they didn't know each other well. This time, with the chance, O'Neal ran out like a shark smelling blood.

O'Neal is worthy of being the end of the topic. He asked the stars who expressed their opinions and asked: "If you go back to time and you will regain your rookie status, then are you willing to play under Coach Nelson's command or be tortured with Riley?"

Now the stars are in a bad mood. O'Neal, you bastard, are you so serious? Wade is the most frustrating because the Warriors players are calling him on Twitter and asking him to tell the truth.

Needless to say, although following Riley may have a better future, all players, including Wade, would rather follow Old Nelson.

Old Nelson has countless times more flaws than Riley. This old man likes to avenge his personal revenge, has a moody temper, is an old tyrant, eats, slaps his mouth, sleeps, grinds his teeth, sits with people, and likes to fart, etc.

However, old Nelson is loyal and affectionate. He likes to clean up the team when he first entered a team. Once the lineup is well adjusted, he usually does not replace people.

Riley's reputation is far from that.

In the NHA Godfather's business, some people are good at tasting jade - Old Nelson is very good, and some are keen on the cultural heritage of team history - this is the favorite of Popovich and Sloan Iron Coach, and for Pat Riley, he is best at shuffling cards. Every time the championship is interrupted, he will poach everywhere without hesitation and shuffle out a stronger card.

Riley has a worse reputation when it comes to superstars.

Popovich's method is to wear off his edges and then take care of him to extend his career as much as possible; Zen Master Jackson acted in a kingly spirit, and he came to save the Emperor Star in trouble, and taught him according to his aptitude to achieve great achievements; Old Nelson has been working hard to build a superstar with his own hands.

Compared with them, Riley is undoubtedly more domineering: he will go to the other company to poach the stars. After three or five years, the star's condition will slid, and immediately started to shuffle the cards and start again.

As soon as O'Neal came out, the stars became mute, and Riley was furious: It was obvious that he lost in this verbal battle.

So Riley sneered and threw out another topic: "Old Nelson, if you think you don't rely on Chamberlain, then don't let him play tonight's game."
