Chapter 811 I'm coaching Michael Jordan
Stevens defeated Cole (19%) and Popovich (10%) with a 42% vote rate and was successfully elected as the Best Head Coach in the 2015-2016 season.
This result is expected.
The two most amazing teams this season are the Pelicans and the Warriors, both of which break the regular season winning record.
But the Warriors had already won 67 last season, and the winning rate was not large.
Of course, in general, 73 wins are enough to win Cole as the best head coach.
Unfortunately, there are still 74 wins in the Pelicans this season.
With this comparison, Cole had no chance of winning, and got 19% of the votes, which was considered to be a partiality among the media.
However, this makes Cole a little unlucky. He won 67 last season, and was robbed by Budenholzer. He won 73 this season and cannot compete for Stevens.
This is a capital letter miserable.
"Stevens is a very good head coach, he deserves this honor, and to me, that's not that important, what I want to do is lead this team to defend the championship."
Cole seemed to be indifferent.
On the day of the game day, the players finished their morning training.
They already knew about Stevens' best coach before the start of the training, and a group of people stood behind the door with champagne.
Tang Tian casually made an excuse and led Stevens to the door of the locker room.
This scene seems familiar.
Stevens pushed the door and Tang Tian flashed to the side.
“Champagne!”
Champagne was spraying towards Stevens.
Stevens instantly got wet from head to toe.
"Ahem!"
He was also sprayed in his mouth, choked and wiped his face, and then he saw the team members cheering and screaming.
"Best head coach! Best head coach!"
Stevens laughed, too.
These guys, his suit was specially chosen for today's competition, and being criticized like this was considered useless.
But the smile on his face is true.
The team members celebrated him in this way, which means there is no gap between us.
As he said at the beginning, everyone on this team can change his words from Stevens to call him Brad.
Tang Tian laughed at the door.
When he was at the Spurs, he blew Popovich with Duncan and others, and now he blew Stevens with the Pelicans.
This has continued his ncaa tradition.
The New Orleans Arena was still full that night.
The Jedi counterattack in the second half of the opening game made fans feel confident in the Pelicans again. They look forward to the team taking advantage of the victory and rewrite the big score to 2-0.
Before the opening ceremony, the award ceremony for the best coach of the season was held on site.
Stevens took the trophy from Xiaohua's hand, and deafening cheers rang out on the scene.
Brad Stevens, 40, won the Best Head Coach in his third season, coaching the team, and the Pelicans.
This resume belongs to Stevens' personal honor and also to the entire New Orleans.
Just like the brilliant 74 wins, the Pelicans didn’t get last season, and they will get it back in the same way this season!
After the award ceremony, Stevens delivered his personal acceptance speech.
"Thank you, my wife, Mr. Benson, thank you, Demps, thank you, the team management, my coaching staff, my players and all the fans. This honor is by no means something I can get by myself. It is the result of everyone's efforts. It belongs to the city of New Orleans."
The reason why I chose to receive the award before the game was obvious, is to boost the morale of the team.
Stevens' acceptance speech was aimed at this goal.
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, there were already overwhelming cheers at the scene.
In the following time, Stevens talked about the difficulties the team encountered during the season and the efforts of the players.
“…They are fighting for this city.”
Stevens' eloquence is unspeakable, and he can get close to Tang Tian's level. The fans' emotions are completely driven by him.
At this point, his comments have basically been finished.
"In the end, I have to thank one of my team members, Don."
When Tang Tian’s name was mentioned separately, the decibels at the scene reached a peak.
Tang Tian is now unparalleled in New Orleans.
"It was him who gave me a chance to coach Michael Jordan."
Stevens' words were very concise, but after he said it, everyone was shocked.
He is referring to Tang Tian as the God of Basketball Michael Jordan!
Arrogant, exaggerated, shocked, excited...
Various emotions were revealed on the faces of the fans on the scene.
But in the end, it all turned into higher decibel cheers.
Tang Tian, why can't it be Michael Jordan?!
Jordan is great, but he didn't start to win his first career championship until his seventh season!
Tang Tian had already won two championships in the first two years of his career, and FMVP was there!
Even as the core of the team, he led the team to break Jordan's 72 wins in the fifth year of his career!
Jordan's average score and two three consecutive championships are his main honors, but now, Tang Tian also has such an opportunity!
Not to mention surpassing, but Tang Tian can really chase now, comparable to Jordan!
As for personal strength, Tang Tian’s defense level in the eyes of other teams is also very close to Jordan at the time!
So I was shocked when I first heard this, but if I think about it, there was nothing wrong with what Stevens said!
Tang Tian was surprised that Stevens would say this, but he nodded with a smile after hearing this.
In the past, he targeted Durant, and he chased and overtook.
Afterwards, he targeted Kobe, and he caught up and overtook it.
Now, it is also time for him to chase the only basketball god and try to overtake it!
Carter, Kobe, James, and past league spokespersons failed to pursue them, and in the end they could only be defeated.
But all he has to do is surpass!
Stevens' speech was very exaggerated. Not only did he exaggerate the emotions of the fans on the scene, but even the players were full of excitement.
As a result, as soon as the game started, they beat the Mavericks opposite.
Carlisle is indeed a master coach. After a game, he has clearly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Mavericks in the series.
In this game, he did not make too complicated arrangements in his defense, but he simply targeted people, but he studied a lot of tactics on the offensive end.
The purpose is to rely on the team's advantages of numerous scoring points and win the game with offense.
But unfortunately, this move has been predicted by Tang Tian in advance.
The Pelicans were prepared in advance, just like they took the lead when playing chess.
As a result, the Mavericks' offense was still difficult, but the defense was worse than the previous game.
The Pelicans adjusted their offense and focused on Tang Tian at the beginning.
Come and go.
When the first quarter was about 10 minutes into the rotation, the score on the field was 30-15, and the Pelicans were already leading by as much as 15 points.
When the intercourse was paused, fans on the scene were shouting Stevens' name.
With the momentum of the best head coach, Stevens made the league-renowned Carlisle a hit!
