Chapter 517 Finally Can Celebrate Christmas
"Some players, you clearly know that he will shoot and know what he will do next, but you just have no way to block him, and Meng is such a player. Unfortunately, we lost today's game. But I'm still very proud of my players, they couldn't be blamed for what they did today."

"Why didn't you use foul tactics against the Pacers? God, 27 seconds, 1 point difference, as long as a head coach with a normal mind will not take the risk of fouling."

After the game between the Pacers and the Timberwolves, as the head coach of the losing side, Philip Sanders became the focus of the post-match press conference. Although Meng Xu's three-pointer was the key to the Pacers' victory over the Timberwolves, However, Philip Sanders' on-the-spot command in the final stage was still criticized by many media reporters on the scene. After all, they had waited too long for the day when the Pacers lost. They drove the horsepower at full speed and cheered for the Timberwolves, but the result of the game disappointed them. In this case, they can only spread their grievances on Philip Sanders.

Knowing that Meng Xu will make the last shot, why didn't you arrange to defend him in advance, one person can't do it, just two people!Since he couldn't prevent him, why didn't he foul him, let him spend more than 20 seconds there, and hit the quasi-lore three-pointer?foul!You can't even foul?The reporters who were the first to ask questions almost all asked questions around this question, which made Philip Sanders very embarrassed.

Although these reporters have been entangled in this issue, Philip Sanders does not think there is any problem with his tactical arrangement. With 27 seconds left in the game, even if the Pacers delay the shot by 20 seconds, the Timberwolves have enough. Time to complete the last shot, as long as the Pacers' attack can be prevented, the Timberwolves have hope of winning.Taking a step back, even if the Timberwolves fail to defend against the Pacers' attack, as long as the Pacers don't make a three-pointer, the Timberwolves still have enough time to complete the final shot and tie the score. For a coach who is conservative at critical moments, it is definitely an unwise choice to send Pacers players to the free throw line in advance when there is sufficient time.What made Philip Sanders a little dumbfounded was that in the previous games, Meng Xu, who was basically rushing to the basket, turned out to be a three-pointer in the last shot!And it made a hit, which made Philip Saunders a little embarrassed, but even so, Philip Saunders still didn't think there was anything wrong with his arrangement at the last moment. Gundam.

"Meng, can you tell me why you reprimanded Jermaine O'Neal during the game?" After Philip Sanders couldn't find the news he wanted, the reporters on the scene pointed at Meng Xu, I hope he can carry forward his style so that he can write a different report on tomorrow's basketball section, and Meng Xu's reprimand of Jermaine O'Neal in the first quarter is undoubtedly a good breakthrough. After the reporters asked questions, the rest of the reporters on the scene, like bloodthirsty sharks, fixed their eyes on Meng Xu.

"I reprimanded Jermaine? Are you kidding me? Don't always think about making big news. You will be held accountable for indiscriminate slander." After vetoing his own reprimand to Jermaine O'Neal, Meng Xu directly addressed the matter. The subject is kept silent.

And the reporters off the court felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping past in their hearts at the moment. So many eyes saw it, okay? Jermaine O'Neill stood there with his head drooping like a primary school student. , You scolded him like something, yet you opened your eyes and told nonsense, saying that you never reprimanded him!What's the moral!Where is the integrity!
