Chapter 53 Mark is Angry

After the second quarter, back to the visiting team's locker room, the locker room was eerily quiet.

Mark's eyes were red, and he walked into the locker room angrily.

"Look, what are you beating today? It's like shit." Mark questioned everyone loudly.

"Are you all sleepwalking? As I said at the beginning, let you lock Yao Ming, Milicic, you are blocked by Yao Ming every time, and he has grabbed several offensive rebounds. You have to get him stuck behind you, understand It's over." Mark turned to look at Milicic.

Milicic listened to Mark's snarl, without any response, lying on his own, with a towel covering his face.

Seeing that Milicic didn't say a word, Mark turned to Gasol again.

"Paul, where is your help defense? Hayes is stuck behind you every time. You are so much taller than him. With your strength, you have to be tougher to keep him behind you."

The entire locker room was filled with Mark's voice.

"Coach, please call me Gasol." Gasol said every word, still extremely angry.

In a word, Mark yelled, "Do you not want to play anymore? If you don't want to play, I will meet your request."

Gasol also ignored Mark, and imitated Milicic, covered his face with a towel, and lay down to rest.

Mark was blown up. Fortunately, at this time, the assistant coach stopped Mark, otherwise he didn't know what would happen.

He pointed the finger at Li Tian who was watching the video of McGrady's game.

"Li, what's wrong with you today? The three-point shooting rate is so low. McGrady has connected the entire Mosaic team. How do you defend? This is the important task I entrusted to you. Is this the answer you gave me? "Mark also blamed Li Tian for Gay's problem of defending McGrady on the court.

It can be said that Li Tian did the best in the entire first half. During the period of defending McGrady, he limited McGrady's shooting rate to less than 25%, opened up space on the field, helped his teammates pick and roll, and created many offensive opportunities. .

"Coach, is there a problem with my defense? Go and see for yourself the shooting percentage of McGrady when I defend him, and then see how many pick-and-rolls I have done for the team's offense. You go and find a three-point shooting percentage that is higher than mine in every game. This high player comes out."

Li Tian is not used to Mark, and has long been dissatisfied with Mark. Most of the time, he attributes Guy's fault to Li Tian.

At first, he was unwilling to cause trouble, but he didn't just accept it.

"Li, is this your attitude towards the head coach?" Mark threw the tactical board to the ground vigorously.

Li Tian ignored Mark, and followed Gasol's example, lying down and resting.

There was not much playing time in the first half, but McGrady had to prevent him from attacking and cut off the connection between him and his teammates.On the offensive end, you have to run without the ball and pick and roll for your teammates.

It's not long, but Li Tian is also very tired because he has done a lot of work.

In the entire locker room, Guy and Conley didn't cover their faces with towels.

Conley still had a playful smile, while Gay looked indifferent.

"You simply don't pay attention to me as the head coach. Li Tian, ​​you will stay off the court for the next game and reflect on it." Mark, who was angry, still retained a trace of reason.

Reason told him that he could use Li Tian as a bench, but he couldn't use both Milicic and Gasol as benches.

If so, it is estimated that in less than two games, Mark will be driven out of Memphis by angry fans.

Still wanting to say something, Gasol touched Li Tian.

In the player channel, Li Tian quickly followed Gasol.

"Paul, why are you stopping me? I'm really fed up with Mark." Li Tian was also suppressing himself. He also wanted to pass this quarrel, and then hoped that the team could trade him out and stay with the Grizzlies Li Tian watched Without any hope, maybe if you trade yourself out, you will be better.

He believes that Bill still has the ability to trade himself to other teams through operation, at least he can have a stable playing time, and he is still a high-quality asset. Today's trade value has been lowered, and it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to send themselves.

"Lee, I know you want to quarrel with Mark, and then pass this matter, hoping that the team will trade you away, but this is difficult to achieve."

Li Tian didn't understand why he couldn't do it, since he had seen many transactions like this in his previous life.

"You are just a role player. In order to maintain the majesty of the head coach, the team will probably keep you in cold storage. The team can afford to lose your annual salary; unless the team fires Mark for you, at present, Obviously unrealistic."

Li Tian loves basketball, but he doesn't understand the team's internal operations, transactions, etc.

"Okay, thank you Paul." Li Tian figured it out, and his brows slowly relaxed.

"Sorry, Li, it's because I didn't manage to connect the team well. I was intercepted by McGrady several times, which caused you to suffer." Lowry apologized to Li Tian.

"It's okay, Lowry. Even without your pass error, I think the final outcome must be the same. Look at the three people Mark mentioned. He is bullying and afraid of toughness, that's all he can do."

"That's true, then it's not my problem. I planned to give you a gift to make amends, but it seems that there are leftovers." Lowry patted the place where the wallet was placed.

"Lowry, you can't save gifts, or I'll ask you to get up early to train with me, and you can figure it out." Li Tian doesn't plan to let Lowry go, and gifts are indispensable.

"Uh, well, it seems that the wallet is still going to be empty this time." Lowry's eyes were blank, as if he had lost everything.

"Okay, Lowry, as long as there is a gift, let Memphis go to hell at 3 o'clock in the morning." Li Tian comforted Lowry who was about to lose his wallet.

Lowry patted his chest, looking like he had escaped from death.

Although the exchange between the two was funny, the Grizzlies players didn't change their expressions.

Only Mark was even angrier when he saw Li Tian and Lowry talking and laughing.

"We must let Li Tian stay off the court for a few more games to see if you are still obedient." This is what Mark thinks in his heart. He is a rookie coach, and Li Tian is the most suitable for Li Wei.

If Li Tian knew Mark's inner thoughts, he would immediately cover Lowry's mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

At the start of the game, Li Tian and Conley were sitting on the bench, talking about something.

The game on the court was one-sided. Under Gay's defense, McGrady also regained his touch and continued to perform dunks.

Sitting in the studio, Director Zhang couldn't stand it anymore.

"What's wrong with the head coach of the Grizzlies? Can't you see that Gay has already been blown up by McGrady on the field? At this time, Li Tian should be replaced to defend McGrady, otherwise the Grizzlies will only fail if they take away from Houston. "Zhang Weiping kept complaining about Mark.

"McGrady played Gay again, and almost succeeded in the next move, and Gay ran to the halfway line. This game is really unwatchable." Yu Jia began to complain about the game.

"Maybe something happened in the locker room, hey." Zhang Weiping sighed, expressing endless grievances.

"Look, let me just say, McGrady is the strongest."

"McGrady is strong, but his shooting percentage is also very low under Li Tian's defense. It's just that Guy is powerless to complain about him."

"Why don't you go to Li Tian? Is the head coach of the Grizzlies flooded?"

"Yes, yes, it's all like this, and Li Tian is not allowed to play."

While speaking, the score has come to 55-75, and the Mosaic team leads the Grizzlies by 20 points.

"Look, let's say Li Tian is not good, the head coach won't let him play, Durant is better."

"Upstairs, you are an undercover agent sent by the monkey. Li Tian can't do it. You go and see how Durant has been beaten. Steals, dunks, blocks, which stats are missing."

Discussions are still going on.

Mark glanced at Li Tian and Conley on the sidelines.

"It's so helpless, how can we win?" Mark didn't even control the team, let alone win.

The game is still going on.

In the fourth quarter, Mosaic even put Yao Ming and McGrady off the court to rest, and did not arrange to play again.

Mark watched the rout of the Grizzlies and also replaced the main players.

The Grizzlies lost 89 points in an 110-21 road rout against the Mosaics.

"Coach, what do you think of the big defeat in this game?" A TNT reporter asked Mark.

"Hello, reporter, there will always be ups and downs in the team's record. We just need to win the next game." Mark replied shirking responsibility.

"So, why didn't you arrange for Lee to defend Maddie in the second half? Didn't you see that Guy was already beaten by McGrady?" The reporter's words were sharp.

"Every star needs to be cultivated slowly. No one can do everything right away. Michael Jordan didn't win the championship in the first year." This is Mark.
"Do you think Gay has the potential to be a player like Jordan?" Something big is about to happen.

"No, no, isn't it every player's dream to become a player like Jordan, and Gay has been working hard in that direction." Mark quickly explained.

"Gasol, do you agree with what Mark said?" The reporter handed the microphone to Gasol.

"He is the head coach, and I don't have the ability to predict the future." Gasol didn't answer directly, neither agree nor deny.

"Do you think that in the second half, Li didn't make an appearance for a minute. Is this in line with common sense?" The reporter knew that Li Tian and Gasol had a good relationship, and several times they appeared together in the restaurant and were photographed.

"I think you need to ask the head coach for confirmation. I'm just a player, but I don't have the talent to be a head coach." Gasol returned the question to the head coach.

The post-match interview was hastily ended, and Li Tian hadn't had time to say hello to Yao Ming.

Mark arranged for the players to fly to New Orleans early, and continue to challenge the Hornets led by Paul in an away game.

The last game against the Hornets was regrettably lost in overtime. In this game, Mark wanted to use a victory to stabilize his position as the head coach. At the same time, he was also warning Li Tian that the team would play better without you.

Mark was on the plane and had been studying the Hornets players, formulating detailed tactics.

I saw Mark thinking about tactics non-stop.

Li Tian also began to feel a little sympathetic to Mark. He took orders in the face of danger and played for more than a month, but he didn't even understand the management of the team. He knew that he was arguing about winning every day.

I feel sorry for Comrade Mark, but I also feel that this is what I deserve.

As a head coach, if you don't understand your own players first, you can't arrange the game clearly. What's the point of getting to know other players' players.

As the saying goes, you can win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy. Mark has not yet figured out the strengths and weaknesses of each player, nor has he figured out what tactics his team is suitable for. He only focuses on analyzing the opposing team.

Even if you know the opponent's players, what's the use? You can't do targeted defense at all.

Don't let go of the work.

　On the last day of the National Day, the daily change is 1. I hope everyone can vote for recommendations and ask for monthly tickets. I hope everyone can give more rewards.
