This season, the Heat have used 31 different starting lineups, and Malone praised Spo
On March 1, 2024, Beijing time, the NBA ushered in the most important game: the Miami Heat vs. the Nuggets. Although the Heat lost 103-97 in the end, they still showed a strong resistance to blows, and it was not easy for the Nuggets to win. You must know that in 58 games, the Heat have a total of 31 sets of starters. Despite the Heat's problems, the Heat still finished 5th in the East with a 33-25 record.
Before this game, Nuggets coach Mike Malone had agreed to meet with **. Regarding the 31 different starters the Heat used this season, Malone said: "It's crazy, the Heat are obviously not easy to play, Spo has made the most of them, they are a tough bunch of guys, and their contracts are worth it.
You know, the Miami Heat and Spo have a new 8-year contract this season, with a total amount of more than 1$200 million, which is also the highest manager transfer in Miami's history. Of course, Malone is also a member of the Hall of Fame, and he is right that Spo deserves the salary he deserves. There are two reasons why Spo often changes starters: one is because he is often injured; The second is that Spo has a good ability to adapt, he knows how to make targeted changes against different enemies, different people, different people, and make targeted strategies. It makes the Heat look like a normal player, but they always surprise them.
Spo has been the coach of the Hot Team for 16 years since 2008, and during those 16 years, he has led the team to the most league accolades and twice won the 15 best managers in Miami history, which is strong evidence of his outstanding management skills. Spoo signed a new eight-year, $120 million contract with the Miami Heat, and he will stay in Miami for eight years, which is also the longest time he has been in Miami since Popovich spent 24 years in Miami. Extending his contract for eight years is a recognition of Spo's ability and a support for the team's future development.
After Spo's 31 different starting positions played a magical effect, the most discussed on the Internet was not Spo, but the Lakers' captain Ham, as before, Ham also changed batch after batch of players, but his performance is getting worse and worse, the current Lakers team only got 32-28, they have entered the playoffs, they have entered the playoffs. This is Ham's second season in charge of the Lakers, and he is by far the most frequent head coach in the NBA, but compared to Spo's victory, Ham is a bit unbearable. His change doesn't seem to have made a difference, but has made the atmosphere very tense within the team, and it has been reported that many players have raised questions about Hamm's coaching and strategy. Compared to Spo's agility and strategic adaptation, Hamm is much younger and can only follow others, compared to Spo, Hamm is like a novice!
