Needless to say, the biggest member of this dream team is probably their head coach Popovich. Not only did he not get the full rank number in the prediction, but he also had to work hard to lead a group of young people who were still young and young, and fight in the World Cup arena to ensure that the prestige of the Dream Team did not fall. The contrast is indescribable.
As a result, many fans, while sympathizing with the old man, can't help but have the strange idea that the head coach of the Dream Team is a chore.
In fact, Popovich's example is only a rare exception in decades, which does not affect the honorable status of the Dream Team manager. This is not only not a chore that people can't avoid, but it makes many famous coaches scratch their heads.
In his absence, Rao was the founder of the Golden State Dynasty, Cole, and could only play excitedly on the side. Don't you see, Rao is a championship collector such as Phil Jackson, and his coaching career has no fate with the Dream Team?
The former can still be comforted by "coming to Japan for a long time". But the latter fully reflects the unattainable position of the manager of the Dream Team. Of course, there are his own reasons in it.
Zen masters have participated in the competition for Dream One
As early as the selection of the Dream Team, zen masters showed great interest in the manager of the dream team, coupled with jordan is his favorite general, and he strongly asked his mentor to take charge of the dream team, many media and fans once thought that this position Zen master had a strong competitiveness.
In fact, Zen masters do have a distinct advantage over their competitors.
For example, Chuck Daly, although he led the "Bad Boy Army" to create endless trouble for Zen Master and Jordan, but Zen Master laughed to the end and won the championship that season. In terms of success or defeat, it is natural that the Zen master should be superior.
For example, Pat Riley, although the record and demeanor are impeccable, but at the time of selection, in the embarrassing state of opposition, compared to the new branch championship coach Zen Master, naturally some lack of confidence.
For example, Larry Brown and Nelson's generation also have their own shortcomings compared to Zen masters.
However, the zen master's advantages may be in the thousands, but from the beginning, the selection committee of the Dream Team had no interest in him at all. The reason why he was included in the inspection list was not so much to give the Zen master a chance to compete for the job, but to give Jordan a face.
After all, it was never a secret that Jordan had little interest in the Dream Team in the early days of the selection. The Dream Team Selection Committee wants to make the league's signature superstar change its mind, and naturally will not touch Jordan's moldy head on this face project.
The question of the image of the Zen master is worrying
However, even if it was only for the sake of face engineering, the Dream Team Selection Committee definitely did not dare to let the Zen master take office. The reason is that there is no other reason, I am afraid that he will lose people and throw them abroad.
As early as the zen master's player days, this jun was known for his hippie style. Not only all kinds of eye-catching weird dresses, but also endless controversial remarks. Even the marijuana that public figures avoid, Zen masters dare to talk about it openly, and frankly admit that smoking marijuana can bring him inspiration, which is evident.
The player era can still be explained by "young and crazy". However, after the Zen master took charge of the teaching whip, he did not restrain in the slightest, but became more and more free to do as he pleased.
As early as 1986, the discerning Klaus had already taken a fancy to the Zen master's talent in coaching, giving him a rare opportunity to interview for a bull assistant. If it is someone else, when facing such a formal occasion, all of them will not change into formal clothes to show solemnity.
On the day of the interview, however, the Zen master actually came to the scene wearing slippers and riding a motorcycle, which triggered the anger of the then Bulls manager Logrie, and the meeting was coldly announced within three sentences of conversation, and there was no interest in further communication.
Fortunately, Klaus was persistent in his perseverance to the Zen master, and in the future, he painstakingly arranged the opportunity for the Zen master to come to the bull for trial training. Before the interview, the thirsty Klaus repeatedly stressed the importance of the image to the Zen master, telling him to remember to wear formal clothes and shave, which reluctantly helped the Zen master to the position.
The Zen master's heavy history will naturally make the selection committee members of the Dream Team tremble with fear. They had a lot of choices, and Klaus, who was not indispensable to the Zen master, naturally did not want to move to such a being.
Coaching skills are also not trusted
In addition to the image problem, the selection committee of the Dream Team also had doubts about the technical and tactical level of the Zen master. And this is precisely the mainstream attitude of those years.
In the case of NBA officials, although Zen Master has won as many as 11 championships, he has only once promulgated the best coach to him, or in the special season when he led the team to complete the 72-win regular season, he can't give it to him.
However, for the Zen master, he probably preferred not to be awarded this award, so as not to be humiliated later. After learning the news of the Zen master's award, Auerbach, who has always been known for promoting newcomers from the younger generation, actually refused to go to the scene to give the Zen master an award. The founder of the Celtic dynasty didn't even want to find a decent excuse and simply turned on the mockery mode:
"He's always just picked up ready-made ones, he'll only coach superstars, he'll win titles with superstars, and his triangle attacks are more side-by-the-way, opportunistic, and worthless."
As the Big Dipper Taishan in the alliance, the cardinal's attitude towards zen masters can naturally affect a large number of people. Even his beloved apprentice Bird was extremely unimpressed by the Zen master's set, and when the Zen master's beloved apprentice Brian Shaw went to the Pacers under Bird to interview the coach, he once mentioned the Zen master's signature tactical triangle attack, but was stopped by Bird on the spot: "If you still want to compete, don't mention that thing." ”
Even some non-mainstream players have little interest in Zen's triangular attack. For example, Rodman, who has always been reluctant to cater to mainstream views, has shown a dismissive attitude towards the triangle attack: "Isn't this just handing the ball over to Jordan to single?" ”
Think about how embarrassing the Zen masters were in those years. The League officially did not recognize his level of coaching, and even cardinals and celebrities like Larry Bird, who were representative of mainstream ideas, scorned his tactical level, and non-mainstream beings like Rodman were equally dismissive of the Triangular Attacks that Zen masters vigorously flaunted—in other words, no other group of people recognized his level of coaching.
And all of this happened after the Zen master became famous. It is conceivable that when the head coach of the Dream Team competed, the Zen master at that time only made some initial achievements, far from the future outstanding achievements, and the Dream Team Selection Committee would have what kind of senses he had for his coaching level.
The image is not good, and the level of coaching is also debatable. It is not surprising that such a being was ostracized by the Dream Team.
After experiencing the lessons of that year, the wise Zen master naturally understood the dream team's true attitude towards him. So, in 2009, Crangos jokingly invited zen masters to take charge of the whip of the dream team, but only met with a cold response from the zen master: "This is not funny at all." ”
