The home star is undoubtedly the cornerstone of a team, and the substitute players are also supposed to help the home star rest well during the rotation time, so it is undoubtedly a recognition of his ability to let the star start and stay on the field at the end of the game. However, sometimes the star of the house behaves too badly, and the angry head coach will put him on the bench, today we will take a look at the moment when the star sits on the cold bench at the key moment!
In the Pacers' away game against the Lakers, Lakers coach Vogel called a timeout in the last three minutes and replaced Westbrook with a substitute who had played well before, Rivers, to play the final game. Let Wei Shao sit on the cold bench at the last moment, this matter was also asked by the media after the game, and Vogel only said "I just left the people who think they can win on the court", in other words, Wei Shao can not help the Lakers win the game. But it is also true that according to Westbrook's recent performances, and the 5-of-17 shooting in this game, it is indeed not as effective as leaving rivers who are more energetic on the court.
Even the two-time MVP winner, the current Home Star of the Bucks, has also encountered his own situation of being DNP in the MVP season. In an 18-19 season against the Blazers, Alphabet Brother did not play well in this game, scoring only 23 points in the whole game, especially in the last minute by the head coach, which made many fans laugh. It turned out that at that time, the Bucks were greatly behind in the score, and the team urgently needed three points to quickly increase the score, but because the alphabet brother's three-point ability was not strong, he was pressed on the bench at the critical moment to watch his teammates finish the game.
If being abandoned by the team in the final moments of the regular season is just a tactic, then it is too uncomfortable to be abandoned by the head coach in the bayonet playoffs because he did not play well. This incident once happened to DeRozan's head, known as the king of the North, he led the Raptors to the Eastern Conference semifinals again in 2018, this time their opponent is still the Cavaliers led by James, but DeRozan, who has suffered from "James phobia", only got 8 points and 2 assists in the first three quarters, which also made Coach Casey not trust him, so the entire fourth quarter Ofozam could only sit on the cold bench, especially after the teammates scored, looking at the celebrating bench teammates, DeRozan's expression was also very complicated.
Of course, if you want to talk about one of the most impressive DNP events in the NBA, it is undoubtedly the series of 14-15 years, the Clippers and Rockets. At one point, the Clippers led the Rockets 3-1, just a stone's throw away from the West Conference. However, he was won by the Rockets for three consecutive sets and was eventually eliminated 3-4. Especially in the sixth game between the two sides, the Clippers once took a big lead at the end of the third quarter, while the Rockets' player Harden was sluggish, shooting 5-of-20. This also made Rockets coach Mike Haier determined to abandon Harden, harden was pressed on the bench in the fourth quarter, watching the "headband gang" help him fill the pit, and finally the Rockets also relied on Harden's downfall to win a crucial game. （ikuet）
