Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 100 Hope to step on three guarantees second!The media is silent, this supersonic has nothing to do with hacking!

At the press conference, a reporter mentioned the downturn of the Grizzlies this season and asked Lu Yong to talk about the reasons.

"Actually, the Grizzlies played well this season. Player distraction is a problem that every championship team will experience. They just can't get rid of the mundane." Lu Yong laughed.

The reporter asked: "After double-killing the Grizzlies, the outside world now thinks that you are a better coach than Fratello. What do you think?"

"The same question has different answers in everyone's mind. I don't want to compare with others. Let this question be left to the fans."

Lu Yong's answer has already given Fratello a lot of face. Now not only the fans think that Lu Yong's coaching level beats Fratello, but even the media mostly think so.

There are some questions that Lu Yong does not need to answer in person, and the sharp-eyed masses will naturally give answers.

The Grizzlies won the championship last season because of the integration of offense and defense, and both efficiency ranked among the top five in the league.

The Grizzlies' offense has deteriorated this year, and Fratello is only good at arranging defense, so the team's competitiveness has naturally declined.

The reporter asked again: "If they meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, how many games do you think the Sonics can end the series?"

"This question is outrageous. The Grizzlies just won the championship last season. No one dares to say that they will win the playoffs." Lu Yong didn't say harsh words, and habitually Keep a low profile.

If the two teams meet in the playoffs, Lu Yong is confident to give the Grizzlies a painful blow.

It's not the confidence given to him by the players, but his understanding of the Grizzlies team.

But talking about this kind of topic on the bright side would offend people, and even Memphis fans would hate him. There is no need for Lu Yong to be used as a gun by the media.

On the Grizzlies side, Fratello still looked downcast at the press conference.

When asked how he felt when the team lost by a big score, he showed his famous stunt.

Rolling his eyes upwards, he made it clear that he was going to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and changed the subject hastily and perfunctorily.

The team lost to the Sonics in two consecutive games, and the record has slipped to fourth in the Western Conference. Fratello is so anxious that he is about to have a cerebral thrombosis. How can he be in the mood for an interview?

He could imagine what the state of the Memphis fans would be like. They could only live in the office after get off work for a while, and the seemingly short but dangerous way home was destined to be impossible.

After a day off, the Sonics flew to Miami again for an away game against the Heat.

Lu Yong rested the main center Noah and veteran Michael Finley this time.

The Heat, which originally owned the "big shark" O'Neal and Wade, were very strong. They just won the championship in 06. However, with both O'Neal and Wade suffering injuries, the Heat directly became one of the worst teams in the league. .

The team's current record is only 8 wins and 33 losses, almost ranking first from the bottom with a crushing advantage.

When blue-collar power forward Haslem becomes a team's No. [-] scorer, there is no doubt that this team is probably going to be scrapped.

Coach Pat Riley is a man with a tough wrist. He just led his team to win the championship two years ago, and he has the courage to rebuild directly this year.

He successively traded Marion and O'Neal to leave the team without any hesitation.

Lu Yong has no doubt that if Wade was not still young, Riley might have packaged and traded the FMVP winner together. In his eyes, the interests are more important than anything else, and it is difficult for fans to see human touch from him.

As the head coach, Pat Riley had a very successful coaching career, leading his team to the finals 9 times and winning the championship 5 times.The coaching record in the regular season was 1213 wins and 694 losses, with a winning rate of 63.6%. In the playoffs, 171 wins and 111 losses, the winning rate also exceeded 60%.

In addition, Riley's three best coaches rank first in NBA history, and his 24-year coaching career can be called brilliant, which is the goal of rookie coaches like Lu Yong to catch up.

It's a pity that no matter how high the level of the head coach is, he must have stars to perform.

Regardless of how many personal honors Riley has won in his coaching career, it will not delay his being beaten by Lu Yong's team tonight.

Except for Ricky Davis, the Heat's players in other positions have no advantage. They were completely suppressed from the start to the bench, and they fell behind by 26 points at halftime.

After Ricky Davis took a break, the Heat's offensive efficiency instantly dropped to the level of the Development League. In the positional battle, Haslem could only watch the pick-and-roll, catch the ball and make a mid-range shot, and was easily overwhelmed by the Sonics' offensive.

In the second half, Lu Yong focused on inspecting PJ-Tucker, Delfino, and Ramon Sessions, in order to cultivate confidence for the new substitutes and avoid excessive fatigue of the main players in the game where there is no suspense in the outcome.

These three offensive and defensive players did not disappoint Lu Yong. They teamed up to score 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, beating the Heat's second team.

The substitute insider Stephen Lasmy was the worst. He originally wanted to collect some statistics when he appeared on the garbage time, but he met such a silly bear like Tucker.

With a positive attitude and fierce defense, it is not easy for Lasmy to connect the ball with wave after wave of close contact, let alone collect data.

In the final quarter, Stephen Lasmy played 12 minutes, 4 of 0 shots, and failed to score a point. Instead, he made 3 turnovers and was counterattacked by the Sonics.

Lasmy almost didn't cry after the game, knowing that his Heat career was over, and he would definitely not be able to stay after the short contract expired.

PJ-Tucker's performance can be called immediate combat power. The corner three-pointer and defense are very stable. Entering the fierce playoffs, he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks by Lu Yong.

At the end, 117 to 79, the Sonics won by 38 points in an away game, defeating the league's No. [-] effortlessly.

The next day, the Sonics challenged the 76ers back to back.

Without Allen Iverson, the 76ers are a weakling. Although they reached the top eight in the division this year thanks to the overall weak strength of the Eastern Conference, their winning percentage is less than 50%, and their strength is not enough for the Western Conference.

The 76ers' key training target this season is Andre Iguodala, a pseudo-first-class star who said he was good but could win the FMVP from Curry, said he was strong and never led the team alone to prove himself.

Looking at his entire career, Iguodala is definitely a winner in life. He has made a lot of money on the court, and his off-court investment is also rich, but it is too controversial.

The rest plan formulated by Lu Yong has played a role, and the core players have not shown signs of fatigue until now.

The back-to-back games were equally lively, and the battle was resolved in only three quarters, suppressing the 76ers throughout the process.

112 to 88, the Sonics easily won the away game and smashed through the Philadelphia 76ers' defense.

Substitute forward Taylor Tovic made 13 of 10 shots and 11 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 28 points, 4 rebounds and no assists. The number of points and three-pointers hit a career high in a single game.

Delfino's 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals are also not bad. After joining the Sonics, he is in a stable state and is more efficient than when he was in the Raptors.

杜兰特单挑防守大闸伊戈达拉不落下风，16中8，三分球4中1，罚球4中4，得到21分5篮板4助攻1封盖，身高臂长的优势完全发挥了出来。

In the main data of rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and three-pointers, the Sonics all beat the 76ers.

The powerful offensive firepower is unstoppable, and the defensive enthusiasm of the players has also increased significantly.

Relying on the rotation strategy of personnel turnover, the Sonics stabilized their ranking in the middle of the season, sitting in the second position in the Western Conference and looking forward to stepping on the third, and have not fallen into a physical crisis for a long time.

Those media who predicted that the Supersonic state would fluctuate, and that the team's record would definitely plummet in the mid-term were all silent. An old face was slapped, and there was no need to quibble.
