Chapter 264 Sweep
Before the start of the fourth game of the series between the Indiana Pacers and the Orlando Magic, some media reporters revealed news of internal strife among the generals of the Orlando Magic.Some reporters exposed the news that after the game, Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy had an argument with the team's main power forward "Big Baby" Glenn Davis in the players' locker room. The other players blocked it in time, and Glenn Davis even rushed forward to punch and kick Coach Stan Van Gundy.
In fact, everyone already knows that coach Stan Van Gundy and Glenn Davis once had a quarrel in the first quarter of the third game because of coach Stan Van Gundy's lazy defensive attitude towards Glenn Davis. Very dissatisfied.Although Glenn Davis took the initiative to admit his mistake to coach Stan Van Gundy in order to get playing time after that, the conflict between the two has not been eliminated. Coach Van Gundy was dissatisfied, so there was a quarrel in the players' locker room later.
However, after such news was exposed, neither coach Stan Van Gundy nor Glenn Davis, who were involved, came forward to clarify the facts, making such news more credible.However, this is not the first time Glenn Davis has had conflicts with coach Stan Van Gundy, and even those sports reporters who make it their own task to dig up gossip don't bother to make a fuss about this matter.
However, in addition to those journalists, there are people who have a very strong interest in this matter, and that is the head coach of the Indiana Pacers, Coach Larry Brown.If coach Stan Van Gundy and Glenn Davis are at odds, then coach Stan Van Gundy will have some changes in the deployment of troops in the next game. Will Glenn Davis continue? Appearing on the main roster of the Orlando Magic, or whether he will continue to play, this is a big mystery.Coach Larry Brown didn't hear about it until at least Game [-].
Before Game [-], when Coach Larry Brown finally learned of the Orlando Magic's starting roster for the game, he discovered that Glenn Davis' name was still on the Orlando Magic's starting roster.
Was there no spat at all between coach Stan Van Gundy and Glenn Davis, and this news was just a smoke bomb thrown by the Orlando Magic before the game?After all, Coach Larry Brown is an old coach who has coached in the NBA for many years, and he knows these tricks to confuse opponents.
Or maybe, those news are all fake news made by media reporters. In fact, nothing happened inside the Orlando Magic team?For those pervasive media reporters, Coach Larry Brown really knows too well, they are simply worried that the world will not be chaotic.Still, if that's the case, why didn't coach Stan Van Gundy and Glenn Davis step up and clarify the facts?After all, such rumors are a big blow to the morale of the team, and it is very likely that the team will become unstable.
Another possibility is that coach Stan Van Gundy did have some conflicts with Glenn Davis, but in order to maintain the competitiveness of the team, or to deceive others, coach Stan Van Gundy still put Glenn Davis Weiss is on the team's starting roster.However, now that the Orlando Magic have trailed the Indiana Pacers by a big score of 0:3, it is meaningless to put Glen Davis on the team's starting list in order to maintain the team's competitiveness.
Perhaps, all these questions can only be left in the game to find the answer.
As coach Larry Brown wrote in the starting list he got before the game, Glenn Davis really appeared in the starting lineup of the Orlando Magic.However, Glenn Davis on the court looked listless, definitely not a vigorous look.Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy stood courtside, not even looking at Glenn Davis.
"It seems that something happened between the two of them." Coach Larry Brown thought in his heart.
After the start of the game, the Orlando Magic did not concentrate the ball in the hands of Glenn Davis as they did in the previous three games. The ball was mainly controlled by Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson. , The main inside attacker was also replaced by Ryan Anderson. "The reason why the Orlando Magic did this is definitely not the choice made by the players on the court, but the special arrangement of Coach Stan Van Gundy!" Coach Larry Brown thought, "Looking at this situation, Stan The news of the conflict between Coach Van Gundy and Glenn Davis is completely true."
Although Glenn Davis was the Orlando Magic's starting power forward, he was replaced by coach Stan Van Gundy with backup forward Earl Clark shortly after the game started.Glenn Davis sat on the Orlando Magic's bench, covering his head with a large towel, looking even more dejected.
"It is estimated that Coach Stan Van Gundy will not continue to use Glenn Davis in this game. He put Glenn Davis in the starting list is completely just for show." Coach Larry Brown I thought so in my heart.
Coach Larry Brown was right, and Glenn Davis didn't get even a second of playing time until the end of the first quarter.And because there is no stable scoring point, the Orlando Magic's offense in the first quarter was completely piecemeal, without any system at all.Coach Larry Brown didn't make a promise in the first quarter, and the Indiana Pacers entered the second quarter with a 27:17 lead over the Orlando Magic by double digits.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Xu Nuo got the chance to play, and Danny Granger, a main player, led four substitute players to play the game.After about 2 minutes of the second quarter, Danny Granger was also replaced by coach Larry Brown with Paul George, and the Indiana Pacers' lineup became an all-substitute player.However, despite this, the Indiana Pacers still maintained the team's lead at more than [-] points.
The Orlando Magic's bench was so thin against the Indiana Pacers that Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy even used backup shooting guard Vaughn Van Gundy, who hadn't played a minute in the previous three games. Weaver.For Vaughn Weaver, Xu Nuo is quite familiar. When Vaughn Weaver was in the Houston Rockets fighting side by side with Yao Ming’s predecessors, Xu Nuo was still watching NBA games on TV in China. , promising to know quite a bit about Vaughan Weaver.After leaving the Houston Rockets, Vaughan Weaver began a wandering life. He had been to Europe and played for the Boston Celtics, but Xu Nuo never thought that he would be in the game against the Orlando Magic. Fight Vaughn Weaver.
Now Vaughan Weaver is no longer as magical as he was with Yao Ming, playing the role of a super substitute.Now Vaughan Weaver is just a fringe player for the Orlando Magic. It is a good proof that he did not get any chance to play in the first three games.Was coach Stan Van Gundy planning to give up the game early when he brought in Vaughn Weaver in the second quarter?Or do you want Vaughan Weaver to be the team's surprise soldier and save the game?
Subsequent games proved that it was impossible for Vaughan Weaver to save the Orlando Magic as a surprise soldier in the Orlando Magic. Coach Stan Van Gundy replaced Vaughn Weaver. It is very likely that he gave up the game ahead of time. , Give up this season's efforts.Vaughn Weaver had just one putback in nearly five minutes of playing time in the second quarter, but nothing else.Vaughan Weaver's unsalty performance made coach Stan Van Gundy have to replace him, and his place was replaced by three-point shooter JJ-Redick.
Maybe the game went too smoothly, or maybe it was because Coach Larry Brown wanted the players to save their energy for the second round of the playoffs. In this game, Coach Larry Brown didn't let those players The main players have been on the field for too long.For the majority of the time, the Indiana Pacers lineup on the court was made up of bench players.However, promise as a substitute player did not get much playing time. Most of the time, promise sat with Danny Granger, David West and Roy Hibbert. On the team's bench, watching his teammates fight on the court.Although Xu Nuo wanted to play, Coach Larry Brown never called his name.
"It seems that you are not a substitute player in Coach Larry Brown's mind, but a main player." Danny Granger said to Xu Xu.
Throughout the game, Xu Nuo played only 7 minutes and scored nine points and six assists.The Indiana Pacers defeated the Orlando Magic 100:81 on the road to complete the sweep of the Orlando Magic.Now, the entire Indiana Pacers team can finally focus on the second round of the playoffs.For those teams still in the playoffs, the real game is just beginning.
