Of course, the Lakers also personally called Stern about O’Neal, just to ask Stern to warn the Han, but Stern obviously didn’t hear it, and ignored the Lakers. The appeal of the Lakers, too, the Lakers general manager Jerry West put Stern on the top 50 star award ceremony in the All-Star Game. Stern was already on fire, plus the Kobe incident. The investigation by Stern was exactly what Little Buss did, which is why Stern acquiesced to Bruce's revenge on the Lakers.

(As for how to retaliate later, I'll talk about it later)

The Portland Trail Blazers, fourth in the West, have a 49 wins and 33 losses. The reason why the Trail Blazers can rank in this position is undoubtedly the team's guards are too strong. The guard combination of "penny" + "flying squirrel" is also enough for the West. Zhuqiang has a headache, but the Blazers are worse than inside. If the inside is strengthened, then this young Blazer can still have a promising future.

The fifth-ranked Seattle SuperSonics in the West are 40 wins and 42 losses. Yes, it is the Sonics. After the early rebuilding of the season, this team was led by Iverson from the end of the All-Star Game. It opened the chase mode all the way, not all chasing to the fifth position in the West, which can make Seattle fans happy.

Although Gentry’s first coaching was not perfect, he still has some coaching ability to lead the Sonics team close to the playoffs. However, there is news that the Sonics owner Paul Allen is about to change. Coach, as to whether Gentry will still be the head coach of the Sonics next season, it depends on how far the Sonics can go in the playoffs.

The first five teams in the Western Conference are all traditional strong teams. The Dallas Mavericks ranked sixth behind them in the Western Conference. The Mavericks' final record is 36 wins and 46 losses. After all, Nelson is still better. In the season The Mavericks have gradually improved after strengthening a number of powerful players. The reason why the Mavericks have fallen into the sixth position is that crazy scientists have been practicing tactics during the regular season. Different players are suitable for different tactics. The old Nielsen is full of fun.

I believe that the Mavericks, who are already proficient in various tactics, will surprise everyone in the playoffs, maybe? !

Behind the Mavericks in seventh place in the West is the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a record of 34 wins and 48 losses. This is their best result in the past few seasons. Since being designed by Bruce to earn Garnett, the team's general manager McHale had a hard time with the Timberwolves. If it wasn't for McHale who is a native of Minnesota, believe it. As the owner of the team, Glen Taylor had already let him go. An 18-year-old high school student is a cornerstone player. You were fooled away by Bruce's kid. What use is it for you!

Although McHale's life is not very good, but the team's performance has indeed improved. This must also be thanks to the head coach Philip Sanders, who integrated this team without any stars. It can be said that Philip. Sanders made great contributions.

It can be said that if you compare him with Gentry of the SuperSonics, then Philip Sanders can win the opponent. The Timberwolves coached by Philip Sanders is the kind that the whole team is very convinced. Looking back at the supersonics coached by Gentry, players represented by Iverson are basically dissatisfied with Gentry's coaching philosophy. This is the gap.

Who is the last seat in the West? The answer is the Phoenix Suns. The record of the Suns is 30 wins and 52 losses. This record ranks eighth in the West, and in the East, they even the eighth Charlotte Hornets in the East are much better than the Suns.

This record can also be ranked fourth from the bottom in the East, which is not bad. As another team in the West, you can pray for how good he can be.

Basically, from the sixth-placed Mavericks to the eighth-placed Suns in the West, they all rely on the head coach to support them. Without these famous head coaches to coach these teams, their results will be even better. difference.

Just look at the names of these head coaches. Old Nelson of the Mavericks, Philip Sanders of the Timberwolves, Danny Angie of the Suns, I didn’t expect that Danny Angie’s cold-blooded general manager is actually the Suns. The team’s head coach, isn’t this a bit ironic, in fact, it’s really not. Danny Angie’s coaching ability is only so small. If he were in the small ball era, he would have already dismissed class. The reason why he was able to catch the playoffs The last train is completely because there are only five powerful teams in the west, and the other seats are basically taken in turns every year.

In the subsequent teams, it's much more normal. Anyway, the next few places in the playoffs are taking turns. If you don't sit this year, wait until next year. There will always be a chance to squeeze in.

As for not making the playoffs this year, there is no doubt that there is only one way to fight for the No. 1 pick. The team with no bottom line like the Celtics in the East is a team with no bottom line in the West. There really is no such thing as the reason. Most of the reasons why these teams do not have the bottom line to fight for the No. 1 pick like the Celtics are still in the head coach, because they are all famous coaches and can't afford to lose that face.

Let's take a look at the head coaches of the Western Conference teams who missed the playoffs.

Los Angeles Clippers coach Bill Fitch, the ninth in the Western Conference, and Bill Fitch, the NBA's first "thousand-loss coach", is a famous coach in the league no matter what, although he has coached 1,000 games. , But this does not mean that he is not a good head coach. He has led five teams in 24 seasons of his coaching career. Each team was a bad team before he took over, but he just insisted. Brought five bad teams to the playoffs and led the Celtics to the finals in 1981. How awesome.

The Sacramento Kings ranked tenth in the West. The current head coach is Eddie Jordan. This head coach is just three people. After class, he only coached the last 15 games of the regular season. This coaching result is really good. I can't flatter him, besides, he is just a rookie coach who just coached this year, but he is not a good head coach. He can be ranked in the top ten thanks to the bad team behind the West.

The eleventh Golden State Warriors in the West have been doing well this year. They hired the famous coach Rick Adelman as the head coach. Rick Adelman’s coaching philosophy is well understood by everyone, just like the Jazz’s Sloan. , For a tactic, it really hasn’t changed for a lifetime, that is, the "Princeton tactic". Does your Warriors have an organized center? If not, do you want to trade Garnett to the Bruce Hans? Not to mention that Rick Adelman really had this idea. Rick Adelman believed that Nagarnet was born entirely from the "Princeton Tactics", so as soon as he took office, he approached the Han to propose a deal. As a result, the Hans General manager Mitch Kupchak only replied with the word "hehe".

Ranked twelfth in the West is the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets invited George Carr over this year, just to make George Carr lead the team to compare with the Sonics. It can be said that the Nuggets team That's really bad, how bad is it? Basically, no one can take the shot. What should I do when George Carr comes, and what else can I do? In the first year, I can only compete for a good lot. Let's go!
