NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 144 Question Su Chen, Understand Su Chen, Become Su Chen
Then Afflalo played, and he did not perform well, scoring only 15 points.

The people who appeared after that cheered up Su Chen, and Middleton entered the field.

Things like open shots actually depend on the state, better than Curry's score is also low this time.

But Middleton didn't feel very good, and he scored a shameful 13 points.

Su Chen's reaction was also very real. He cheered for Middleton before the shot. Middleton directly stated that he didn't know this guy after he shot 13 points.

Then there is nothing to see.

Bill won the three-point contest.

In the next slam dunk contest, Wall performed a slam dunk over the Wizards mascot and won the slam dunk contest championship.

2014 2 Month 17 Day.

The highlight of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game has finally begun.

From the moment he appeared on the stage, he had already started to ignite the emotions of the scene.

The players who can be selected to the All-Stars are basically the top leaders of the weak teams, and the strong teams can even be selected as the second leaders.

After the introduction of the entrance ceremony, it is time to enter the court to warm up.

As the head coach of the Western Conference, Su Chen appeared in the coaching position of the Western Conference.

Not only did he say hello to the familiar Curry, some other veteran stars also took the initiative to say hello to Su Chen.

Even Paul, who had fought fiercely with the Timberwolves before, had a friendly exchange with Su Chen.

Nowitzki, Duncan, Durant and others all greeted Su Chen one after another. Although they were only temporary coaches, Su Chen was also their coach now.

Besides, the NBA is a personal affair.

Players fight very fiercely on the court, and rarely bring conflicts off the court, except for the good brothers Paul and Rondo.

Maybe the two were at odds before, and Bao Buqi was traded by the team to be teammates that day, so embarrassing.

Like between Westbrook and Beverly, after arriving at the Lakers, there was no continuation of the conflict.

This is the case among players, let alone players and coaches.

Especially Su Chen, who has great power and controls a team's management and coaching position, offending Su Chen will have no good fruit.

Although the All-Star is a show, Su Chen still pretended to arrange a tactic.

There are very few coaches who show their cards directly, they are here to play, and they don't even arrange tactics.

Come here, more or less a sense of participation.

Of course, when Su Chen called the players over to set up tactics, he didn't really set up tactics.

Let them shoot more three-pointers and more shots, isn't this equivalent to no arrangement?
The All-Stars in the western part were speechless for a while, Su Chen was too perfunctory.

But that's okay, they didn't want to fight seriously at first, they came here for fun.

The Pacers are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference this year. The Heat are not aiming for the regular season this season, and they didn't deliberately fight for the regular season record.

Su Chen and Frank Vogel walked in the middle and shook hands.

In fact, Frank Vogel and Su Chen didn't have much overlap. The two teams simply played a regular season, and it was the second time after the All-Star Game that they played against each other.

The last time they played against each other, the Timberwolves were still playing with Gobert and McCollum.

The new lineup of the Timberwolves is the first time for the two teams.

"It's a coincidence that we will meet in the next game."

Su Chen said with a smile.

"This should be an early fight."

Frank Vogel also responded with a smile.

After all, everyone in the All-Stars is happy, even if they don't lose against Su Chen, they still pretend to be able to chat.

When he was free, some star players from the east came to say hello to Su Chen.

The one who played against Su Chen in the east was James, but James didn't hold a grudge against Su Chen because Su Chen eliminated him.

On the contrary, he felt that maybe the two of them would have opportunities to cooperate in the future, so it would be good to keep in touch.

After all, for the Heat this season, if they can't win the championship, he plans to change teams.

James has a good relationship throughout the league, and his popularity is very good.

Facing James' overture, Su Chen naturally responded with a smile.

As a coach, even if he doesn't deliberately build a good relationship with the players, at least he doesn't have to strain the relationship.

At this time, both sides played.

Eastern All-Star starting lineup: Paul George (Pacers), Anthony (Knicks), James (Heat), Wade (Heat), Irving (Cavaliers)

Western All-Star starting lineup: Durant (Thunder), Griffin (Clippers), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Curry (Warriors), Harden (Rockets)

The All-Star game generally does not have a formal position breakdown, at most it is divided into the frontcourt and the backcourt.

In order to avoid some relatively strong positions, some players chose a less crowded position when they reported to the All-Star, but this position is basically not played by him.

The game started.

Griffin's short hand actually jumped the ball and won.

The All-Star Game in this era is already more playful.

Many years ago, there would be an NBA All-Star Game, and occasionally we would play for real.

Even play a dozen tactics.

Curry made a three-pointer at the beginning and made a three-pointer for the West.

Then in the East, James immediately responded with another unguarded dunk.

"The All-Star game is kind of boring right now."

Even in the VIP viewing area, Su Chen felt a little bored.

But Su Chen has her own little Jiujiu in her heart.

He has the right to substitute!
After half a quarter in the opening game, Su Chen replaced the substitute.

Including Giannis, and Butler, went up to play two balls and was replaced.

This makes the commentator a little confused.

"Butler and Giannis should get a lot of playing time. After all, the coach belongs to them. Can they compete for the next All-Star Game MVP?"

Today there is O'Neal in the commentary, and O'Neal is a little confused.

The commentary team is here today.

"Su Chen seems to be in a hurry to take the rotation, let everyone go up and fight for a while."

Kenny Smith found a puzzling point.

This made Frank Vogel on the opposite side a little puzzled, what is this Su Chen playing?

However, Frank Vogel was not influenced by Su Chen and still maintained his own rhythm.

Although Su Chen is making frequent substitutions, there is no real fight in the west, so he can sit still as the coach of the east.

Soon, the West went through a substitute rotation.

Su Chen finally showed her true colors.

The Western Conference lineup at this time is: Curry (Warriors), Parker (Spurs), Duncan (Spurs), Durant (Thunder), Paul (Clippers).

After the first quarter, Su Chen didn't make any substitutions.

After the second quarter, Su Chen let these people rest for less than a minute, and then replaced them.

"I seem to understand Su Chen's meaning."

Barkley said with a sudden smile.

"I see it too."

Kenny Smith also laughed out loud.

"what?"

O'Neal didn't react so much.

"Shaq, look at the teams that play the most players in the Western Conference."

Johnson explained to O'Neill with a smile.

O'Neill took a data statistic device and looked at it carefully.

The Clippers, Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, these are the top teams in the West.

"This Su Chen is so bad. I was still wondering why Giannis and Butler didn't get much playing time under the care of their own coaches."

"My own players just play for one or two minutes and then leave the court, and the competitors' players just act as donkeys on the court."

After O'Neill understood, he was shocked.

This also let O'Neill have a long experience, can the All-Stars still play like this?
At this time, Popovich, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was so angry that he cursed.

Originally, going to the All-Stars was for rest, but it was good for Su Chen, because Duncan and Parker could not come up directly.

GDP is already old, and he has been sparing this season, and has frequent regular season rotations.

As a result, Su Chen used Parker and Duncan as donkeys at the All-Star Game.

And Su Chen didn't let go of Curry, the player he once coached.

The competitors' players were all treated as donkeys by Su Chen.

"Recently, the All-Stars have played too much entertainment. I think you should show more oppression, and you should also start to defend on the defensive end."

During the halftime break, Su Chen was still setting up tactics in a serious manner.

Curry gritted his teeth and looked at Su Chen speechlessly.

He had been coached by Su Chen before, and Curry knew Su Chen's tricks very well, and Su Chen was very good at these off-the-market tricks.

"I see, I will teach them some more lessons."

But Curry still laughed at this time.

In fact, Curry also likes to play more in the All-Stars. For Su Chen's little trick, it is a manifestation of Curry's friendship with Su Chen.

No matter what, Su Chen led the team to win the championship last season, and even helped him sign his younger brother during the offseason.

Even Curry didn't care about Su Chen's behavior, and the others had nothing to say.

Especially Duncan and Parker, they are also veterans, why don't they understand Su Chen's tricks.

But Su Chen is the coach, and it's not easy for them to dictate.

The second half.

For the Western Stars, somehow they started to get a little serious.

When James went in for a dunk, Curry reached out to James when he was outside.

This made James unprepared, and Curry really took it down. Curry directly took the ball and made a steal for a three-pointer.

The All-Star Game is like this, if one party plays, the other party will not be serious.

But if one party starts to be serious, the other party will respond accordingly.

In the previous NBA All-Star Game, some players would suddenly become serious, and everyone would suddenly fight after playing.

Curry's serious steal made the Eastern All-Stars also start to get serious.

Duncan and Parker looked at each other. Even when Su Chen emphasized just now, they were not going to fight seriously.

But who knows, Su Chen has plotted against them, and Curry really gave Su Chen face.

The eastern part is also getting serious. If they are not serious, they have to be a little more serious.

Otherwise, the scene will not look good.

Originally, the audience was used to the fact that the All-Stars didn't really play.

Expectations are expectations, but the current All-Star players seem to be following certain rules.

Usually, no one would break this situation, but now that the fight really broke out, it was exciting all of a sudden.

Of course, this so-called real fight is not like the regular season.

It's the kind that pushes a little bit.

Frank Vogel is a little confused, why did he start to increase his intensity?
But Frank Vogel is not a fool. Seeing Su Chen's employment on the field, he quickly understood Su Chen's intentions.

"This Su Chen is a bit despicable."

Frank Vogel said silently in his heart.

At the same time, the eastern stars were adjusted.

Eastern Conference lineup: James (Heat), Wade (Heat), Bosh (Heat), DeRozan (Raptors), Wall (Wizards).

Regarding Su Chen's despicable behavior, Frank Vogel said, hurry up and learn!
Question Su Chen, understand Su Chen, become Su Chen!

Both George and Hibbert of the Pacers were benched by their own coaches.

At this moment, the strong players of the eastern and western teams are all spending a lot of money on the field.

Su Chen and Frank Vogel were on the sidelines, and they even stood up and directed the battle.

Both of them are very happy at the moment.

In other words, it's cool to use players from the enemy team as donkeys!
Popovich and Spoelstra looked at the situation on the court, and both of them were cursing non-stop.

There is still a tense regular season trip ahead. Su Chen and Frank Vogel feel distressed when they treat their players like donkeys.

Duncan and Parker of the Spurs are already little old men, and they are still being used like this. Popovich already wants to let them take another round of rest.

For the Heat, although James has no effect in his prime.

But Wade has been on and off this season.

Compared with the Spurs, the Heat have three All-Star selections, and one more Bosh is being consumed.

"Hahaha, the addition of Su Chen made this All-Star session more interesting."

O'Neill was on the commentary stand, laughing loudly.

"Frank Vogel is also very real, joining Su Chen's behavior."

Barkley also said with a smile on the sidelines.

"Popovich, Spoelstra, Cole, Casey, Rivers, Brooks, Whitman, McHale want to curse."

Kenny Smith was also unabashed, bringing up the names of the coaches of these teams.

Cole, in particular, was speechless.

Su Chen obviously didn't have to listen to such an arrangement, but Curry insisted on giving Su Chen this face and took the initiative to provoke this battle.

During the All-Star Weekend, players from strong teams were given a wave of intensity by Su Chen and Frank Vogel.

This Curry feels good, and in the battle provoked by him, he also made more three-pointers.

The Western Conference also won this game, and Curry became the AFMVP (All-Star Best Player).

With Curry hoisting the trophy, this All-Star weekend is also over.

It's just that for the players of strong teams, this All-Star weekend, which should have been rested, was forced to clock in and go to work again.

The handshake between Su Chen and Frank Vogel after the game, and the look in their eyes were also tacit.

Both of them showed smiles that both of them understood, as if they were saying that they had a happy cooperation.

Of course this cannot be said directly.

"Curry's performance deserves the honor of afmvp. As the head coach of the West, I am proud of him."

In the interview after the game, Su Chen also praised Curry.

Curry sold him this favor, so he has to respond.

This year's All-Star, Su Chen is content.

Of course, Popovich and others were still very angry.

The team flew straight to Indiana after the All-Star break.

The next game is an away game against the Pacers.

There's still a bit of a break, but there's no need to fly from New Orleans to Minnesota and then to Indiana.

The relaxed All-Star weekend corresponds to the intense playoff sprint.

Today's Timberwolves still maintain the No. [-] position in the West.

Unless the Timberwolves have a ten-game losing streak or even more inexplicably, the Timberwolves can basically confirm their place in the playoffs this season.

Su Chen had to make some changes to the current state of the team.

The previous Timberwolves were in every game.

The next Timberwolves, after winning some key games, can basically start to take turns to adjust their playoff status.
