Chapter 1011 (1/2)
Jim Butler's departure was both unexpected and reasonable.
It's true that three consecutive titles are what many players dream of. Many people, not to mention three consecutive titles, want to win a championship, it has to pay the whole career to work hard.
Even so, they are not necessarily available.
But it is not certain that the team that has won three consecutive titles can maintain the status quo. After all, everyone has his own pursuit and goal. Not everyone wants to repeat one thing in a team.
Especially after winning the championship three times in a row, people's psychology will change.
Not to mention three consecutive titles, even after winning the championship once, the champion lineup is not a few cases.
Dallas Mavericks in 2011, the Lakers after the last three consecutive championships, and so on, are living examples.
No team can always dominate one side, the huge mobility of players is also one of the greatest charm of NBA.
In this regard, the famous NBA coach, the current heat general manager Pat Riley has studied and summarized this situation, he called this psychological image ”greedy.”.
Pat Riley is more than just a well-known manager, which is not enough to sum up his greatness. Riley's understanding of basketball and NBA is very thorough.
He is one of the few people to win the championship in the league as a player, coach and general manager, not because Riley is lucky.
He can lead the team to win the title in the coaching position, also can clinch this kind of earthquake magnitude transfer as the general manager of the heat three.
He has his own ideas on basketball. He has predicted that the boundaries between different positions of basketball will become more and more blurred in the future. There will be five players about 2.05 meters in the game on the basketball court.
Now, this trend is becoming a reality.
The greed of champion teams is also a very real theory put forward by Pat Riley.
A game, a series or even a season may not reflect the influence of participation on players' enthusiasm and motivation.
But what about two seasons? How about founding a dynasty? In the third and fourth season, when you are still quietly staying at the bottom corner and hitting the open three points, combined with the inertia of the champion team ”I used to climb the mountain top”, can you still maintain the concentration when you first attack the champion, and still feel that it is interesting, passionate and honorable to see the same faces every day to play 82 matches?
After a team wins in one year, the next year, all players want more time, more money, higher status or more shots.
They will think, ”I'm already a champion, I should always have some of my own privileges, instead of doing things like pick and roll, three open points every day, and give the spotlight to another person.”.
He wants to be on his own and create his own Championship era.
He'll think he's won enough titles and maybe he should continue his career in a different way.
Everyone has their own ideas and desires. This is the greed of the champion team, an inevitable phenomenon that occurs in every winning team.
Pat Riley saw this phenomenon thoroughly many years ago and put forward a theory. He knew that the players in the League were not a series of data, but real people.
You can't get everyone to think alike, just like igordala doesn't like being a star, but some people are crazy about it.
Many years ago, guard Gary Neal, who was discovered and trained by Popovich, said when he left the Spurs, ”the Spurs are really a great team, but no matter how many championships and victories you win there, you will never be the leading role. The protagonist is Parker, Ginobili, Duncan. No one will remember you
So Gary Neal chose to leave.
Therefore, it is not a team that always wins and always wins the championship, and everyone will stay forever.
Don't talk about these role players, such as James, Garnett, Paul and other superstars, have not achieved the end of the team.
And those who end up in the first team are not necessarily as glamorous as they seem.
Although Duncan has become a symbol of the Spurs, at the beginning of the millennium, he was infinitely close to Orlando Magic.
Although Kobe is now the totem of the Lakers, he used to want to play in Chicago. If it wasn't for Pau Gasol, God knows if Kobe is still in purple and gold.
At the beginning, link was also a little difficult to accept that Butler was going to leave.
But when he went back to think about it the next day, link was relieved.
He not only accepted the fact that Butler wanted to leave, but also was ready for more people to leave.
This summer, is a beautiful summer. But inevitably, it will be a summer of parting.
”What's the matter? You've been distracted since you came back from dinner with Jimmy yesterday Rachel, who is watching TV in link's arms, touches his face, and link regains his consciousness.”It's nothing. I'm thinking about our tour route, hehe.” Link smiles. He doesn't want to bring his work troubles to Rachel.
