Last weekend, another U.S. Basketball Hall of Fame was inducted. Yesterday's push, we Xiao Zhu wrote a Pierce. Every year, there are more than ten people, only Yu Hai knows them all, and there are only a few Chinese fans who are most familiar with them. It was only a matter of time before Pierce, Bosh, Big Ben, And Weber, all of whom were inducted into the Hall of Fame after retiring from the military. Among the most familiar characters, what moves my heart is the old man Adelman.
Rick Adelman is now a Hall of Fame coach. On stage, Weber and Divac, offstage Pat Riley, disciples and colleagues seemed to have great respect for him.
Hey, listen to this stubble, is it still controversial that Coach Adelman, who has won 1042 victories in his career, has been inducted into the Hall of Fame?
I don't talk about others, I just talk about myself. I'm not saying that Adelman's inductance into the Hall of Fame is not qualified or controversial, but for many years before that, I really didn't seem to think that the old man would be inducted into the Hall of Fame. For example, you know popovich will definitely be in the future, and when Phil Jackson retires, you know he will definitely be able to get in. But when Adelman retired 7 years ago, you probably didn't think about it. And to be honest, in our subconscious, what a great coach is Adelman really is? It's not easy to say. After all, we know him, who let him do it in the rocket.
Most of the people who have been stationed in the United States for a certain amount of time can tell two paragraphs about the rocket. After all, the big guy on the team is his own. Adelman's passages, I can tell several. There are a few interesting ones that define his style as a coach.
First, Adelman succeeded Van Gundy for the Rockets. After coming, the training only practiced offense, never defended. The athletes who practiced defending every day under Van Gundy were uncomfortable. Later, seeing that the season had begun, the old man still did not practice defense. Seeing that it was time to prepare for the first game, the preparation meeting was held, and the old man did not mention a word of defense. When the meeting was over, Dayao couldn't hold back, stood up and asked: "Coach, how will the defense be arranged tomorrow?" The old man was stunned, and the feeling was: "Lying in the grooves, do you still have to defend when you play?" The old man thought about it and asked Dayao, "How did you defend yourself before?" Dayao was there to tell the old man about Van Gundy's defensive strategy for half a day, and the old man nodded his head after listening: Good! That's it! Meeting!
Second, there was a game before, when Morey, then the general manager of the Rockets, was sitting in his office when there was a sudden knock at the door. When I opened the door, it was Battier. Morey said that it was time to play, what were you doing? Battier said that the coach really didn't understand how to defend, and everyone asked me to come up and ask you. Don't you study all the team stats, you talk about how we defend it?
Third, Adelman saw that Dayao was very tired, so he talked to Dayao and said why are you so tired? Why do you always stick to the basket and go up there to play for your life? Dayao said, that's my style of play, Coach Van Gundy has always let me play like this. The old man said: How tired. You're standing at the free throw line, shooting two baskets, brushing two balls, how easy! Dayao said then I won't!
You see, as soon as a few passages are spoken, the image of Adelman immediately jumps on the paper. Frankly speaking, Adelman's path, and his basketball philosophy, and the habit of following the path of Little Van Gundy, advocating extreme preparation, all-out, and defense first are not the same. After Adelman arrived at the Rockets for a while, I once said to Dayao, "The best chance for your team is the first year or two." Because Lao A does not defend, now you guys, Van Gundy's defensive foundation is still there, plus his attack, may be able to play results. But the longer he comes, the more your defense will decline. "Dayao agreed with me at the time. Adelman came to the Rockets' first season, and they played a 22-game winning streak. But then Yao Ming was injured, and the next year Maddy and the rocket broke up, Yao Ming was seriously injured, and the core was gone.
In any case, in our concept at that time, and probably in the concept of many Chinese fans, Adelman, a coach who is obviously biased, is enough to win the championship in a sport that emphasizes the balance of attack and defense. In the end, Lao A is indeed 23 years of coaching career without a crown, which is not an accident.
These are all passages and history. What I want to say is that when I saw the old man standing on the podium of the Hall of Fame, coughing twice from time to time, still talking, I suddenly had the idea. I don't think we're all being too harsh?
The coach who was inducted into the Hall of Fame was clearly a great coach. Isn't great enough to get 1,000 wins? Are regular season wins worthless? Coach Chikatsu means that he has been in the league for more than 20 years, and he must have won the trust and recognition of many athletes. People don't support you, can you win? All of this is not in vain. You just listen to his 10-minute Hall of Fame speeches and you can see his charisma. He said Portland has the best fans in the world, and then Sacramento has the best fans in the world. Best everywhere. Offstage are all happy, but you still think that what the old man said is sincere. He can be kind to people everywhere. Although he looked like Hitler, he was very easy-going with everyone. He tried not to criticize anyone, no one to offend, this is his way of life, and he can really do it. With this kind of Dao practice, not everyone can cultivate it. Everyone's Way is everyone's specialty. We Chinese talk about things, it has always been Wu Wu's second, and the inner volume is powerful. Get used to having to compare everything with the best, as if you can't compare to the best, you're nothing. We lack a context of finding beauty and praising others all the time, always being so strict with everyone, whether we are tolerant of ourselves or not.
You see, looking back, Adelman took the Kings to play basketball so mercury. When we got to the Rockets, we studied, heck, this guy didn't defend.
Adelman's predecessor, Van Gundy, did have a defense, and The Little Bald Man was most compatible with Dayao, but he did not attack.
Van Gundy's predecessor, TomJanovic, a coach who has won two championships, can't hold Francis.
Our perspective on the world is a very poisonous, sharp point of view, always want to beat him to the original form, seem so worldly insightful, see through everything. Up and down five thousand years, I can poke at the point with one word.
What about Popovich? Aren't you blind without Duncan?
These famous celebrities who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame this year can say this when we use our habitual perspective to evaluate.
pierce? Just 35 seconds to 13 knives? He was also destined to be big, but what he had been doing recently was similar to that of Wu Zheng.
Bosh? Is he just giving James and Wade a shot? Watch every time he let Garnett beat him.
Ben Wallace? Then I'm going to talk to you about the profession. The reason why Big Ben can win the best defensive player in four years is because he has good data and net blocks. Why is he net a cap? That's because there was a "roaring god" Rashid who gave him a top. Big Ben's 1-on-1 defensive ability is average. Let's not talk about others, let's just say that in the 2002 World Championships, the American team met the Chinese team, could he defend Against Battle? He couldn't help it!
weber? Flower fist embroidery legs, the technique is good, too soft, otherwise they can't do O'Neill!
hey! Let's touch our conscience, is there your line here? I really said that. When the World Championships came back to do the show that year, I said that Daben couldn't prevent the bus, and the bus easily scored 15 points.
Time can pass, and the vicissitudes of the sea are crossed. When the generations of people we are familiar with withdraw from that grand stage, we find that we are also old. You are standing in the middle of the year, or like me, you are on the road to 50. We become more rounded and gentler. We seem to be more and more receptive to not many people who are perfect beings. Even if you have only a little bit of expertise, you have left a mark on the vast history, you must have your reasons, you deserve to be praised. We learn to praise others, simply, from the heart. Not being as harsh as others is as tolerant as being yourself. We began to learn to say that it was not easy anymore. When we learn this, it is easier for us to reconcile with people and more easily with the world.
We finally learned to speak from another angle.
Van Gundy, his defense is fantastic!
Adelman, his offense is dazzling. It is his gentleness and openness that creates the space for his athletes to play freely and will show that imagination.
Pierce was a pioneer of large and small forwards. In that era, the technical all-rounder was a scoring guard, which was the era when the four SGs dominated the world. At that time, a well-rounded small forward like Pierce, who could go inside and out, could pass the ball, and was so mature, he was unique! Bosh was a pioneer in the space-type No. 5, and he made great sacrifices by playing around James and Wade. Big Ben, he's so unique. He hadn't been drafted, and no one believed him at the time. Usually an interior athlete of about 2 meters 05 meters cannot sweep the basket as the main assistant defender, but Daben has done this. Weber, how gorgeous he is. He was the jewel in the crown of that Kings team. At that time, they were the darlings of the United States, and they almost beat the Lakers!
Why have we only learned such simple, straightforward compliments until now?
And you may not have learned.
