The Heat's journey to the playoffs can be described as magnificent, looking back on the previous journey, they defeated the Bucks, who were the first in the East, completed the magical Black Eight, and continued to win to the Eastern Conference finals when everyone was not optimistic, and then won seven games to win the second place Green Army in the East again to reach the Finals.
The players work the one hand, the coach's command and dispatch is also very good, he no longer has any hole cards under his hands, Audi, Hiro is injured, Vincent is injured, and the rest of the players, two core doubles, Adebayo is the 14th pick, Butler is the 30th pick, Strus, Vincent, Martin who played well are all undrafted, and even Hiro and Audi, who are unable to play on the bench off the court, are the top two players in the team.
Half of the players on this team were drafted, and two high-ranking players were also absent due to injury, and Spoh made it all the way to the Finals with such a lineup! He knows people well, makes full use of Strus, Martin, Vincent, sets tactics for each team, defeats one strong opponent after another, and in this playoffs, more and more fans believe that he is the best coach in the current team.
However, such a coach has also been required to leave class in the past, James used to be the star of the Heat Big Three, and now more and more people know that the superstar has a certain management of the team, and the management sometimes has to listen to the star, but in the Heat, the situation is different.
After the Heat's defeat, James went to Riley's office to complain about Spoh and asked him to be replaced.
At the time Riley said: "Tell everyone downstairs that I'll be there in 15 minutes and have them stand in line against the wall. ”
Riley then said to all the players present: "Never come to my office and tell me to fire the coach!" Your job is only to play basketball, that's the culture here! ”
The Heat, a team with a short history but a great basketball culture, are united, tenacious, and respect each other between players and coaches. James may have some control over any team, but not here, or not with the coach, which may be why he left Miami even though he reached the Heat in the Finals.
What do the basketball gods think of Spoh's position in the coaching world today, and he is certainly unquestionable in the history of the Heat, so is he already the best active player? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss~
