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

Chapter 82 Three consecutive victories briefly topped the Western Conference!The darkest dark horse of the season?

In the third quarter, Lu Yong adjusted the lineup.

PJ-Tucker was taken as the starting power forward, replacing Szczerbiak, who felt poor tonight.

The other four remained unchanged, or Noah, Durant, Bunche Wells, and Delonte West.

Tucker has a good outside touch today. He hit two three-pointers in the first half and hasn't missed a shot yet.

On the defensive end, he is also full of passion. He is not afraid to face Kenyon Martin, who is taller than himself, and his close defense is oppressive. As long as Martin can't rush, the offensive end is basically useless.

Delonte West's touch is very hot today, and he made all the first three shots.

上半场7投6中，砍下16分2篮板1助攻。

He is also very successful in defending Carter, and from time to time he can help defend Iverson and share the pressure for Bunche Wells.

Iverson is an unreasonable player who dares to play strong without a good opportunity. West's defensive efficiency is good, and staying on the court is very useful.

After playing for 4 minutes, Lu Yong replaced the veteran Wells who was fouled twice in a row, and brought the fierce defensive Earl Watson to the court. The wheel battle continued to entangle Iverson.

Watson is only 1 meters tall, but weighs 85 kilograms. With his fierce defensive style, he gained a foothold in the league. Facing Iverson, he didn't even suffer from his height, and became a surprise player on the Sonics bench.

Lu Yong never looks at fame when employing people, but makes adjustments according to the opponent's style and the player's on-the-spot performance.

To deal with a star like Iverson, you have to let Watson play. Ridnour and Sessions are not suitable for single defense. Staying on the court is a proper defensive black hole.

Iverson broke through in this quarter and made a lot of fouls. However, the shooting has not been opened, and the offensive efficiency has not been improved for a long time. As a result, the Nuggets have never been able to find a chance to comeback.

After three quarters, 78 to 71, the Sonics still maintain the lead.

In the final quarter, Lu Yong sent Noah and the energetic Tucker to partner inside, and Durant, Delonte West, and Watson on the outside.

The Nuggets sent JR-Smith and Kleiza two sixth-man-level substitutes, "Melon" Anthony small forward, point guard and center Vaughan Weaver and Brazilian center Nene Hilario.

Seeing Weaver playing point guard and Nene playing center, Lu Yong knew that this period of time was stable, and he instantly relaxed.

Weaver played a game for the Los Angeles Clippers last season. He is good at breakthroughs and has a flexible style of play, but his strength is too weak. Now he is playing purely for soy sauce.

Domestic fans know Weaver because he played in the CBA league for four seasons, nicknamed "Wei Bat King", and averaged 32.5 points per game when he played for Shanxi. He is considered an orthodox CBA star.

Of course, the most classic scene of "Weaver Bat King" is in a fast break during the Celtics period. Weaver performed a one-handed dunk, but the ball bounced off the back edge of the basket. Weaver thought the ball went into the station. Celebrate at the bottom line.

As a result, when he returned to the court, he bumped into a teammate who was fighting for rebounds, and then the referee called the Green Army's move. This wave of operations was extremely beautiful.

As for Nene Hilario, his strength is indeed good, but his lateral movement speed is slow, and it is difficult to keep up with the running and bombing of young supersonic players when defending counterattacks, and he is easy to be targeted.

This is indeed the case, and the Supersonics quickly took the initiative when they came back from the last quarter.

PJ-Tucker seized every opportunity to prove himself. The offensive end ambushed in the bottom corner and made a three-pointer. The defensive end extinguished Kleiza's offense very well. He is the most dynamic player on the Sonics field. .

After Weaver came on the court, Watson's running shots also became more threatening, because Weaver's explosive speed was so bad that he couldn't get around the pick-and-roll, and was often caught by Tucker with his fat body.

Weaver's athletic talent is a bit reluctant to play in the NBA. He doesn't have much brains, and his skills can't be crushed. His career is destined to be a wanderer.

In order to make up for Weaver's defense, the Nuggets often missed people when they rotated, and Delonte West made another three-pointer at the top of the arc.

In the offensive system arranged by Lu Yong, Delonte West can play his specialty and play well without the ball, which is a bit like a bankrupt version of Thompson.

Weaver only played 3 minutes before being replaced, plus 2 minutes in the second quarter, a total of 5 minutes, without scoring a point, but lost a lot of points.

He was a defensive colander when he was on the court, and the Sonics were misplaced to stare at him to play. Even Earl Watson played confidently, breaking through with the ball and scoring layups.

In less than half a quarter, the Sonics took the opportunity to play a wave of 15 to 4, quickly widening the point difference.

It was too late when George Karl replaced Iverson and Kenyon Martin entered the game to close the game.

The hole in front was too big, and the double guns swung sparks out of the muzzles of the singles one by one, but failed to fill them in. The advantage was maintained by the supersonic until the end.

102 to 96, the Sonics scored the lowest score of the season, but the result made the fans excited.

Started the game with three consecutive victories, and made a strong (short-lived) top of the Western Conference.

After the game, the Sonics fans at the scene were still reluctant to leave.

Standing in the stands gave the players warm applause. For the first time, I couldn't wait to watch the team play at home.

General Manager Sam Presti sat in the front row in disbelief that the team had defeated the Nuggets, who were ranked fifth in the Western Conference last season.

Although it was not easy to win this game, the result was good. It took only three games to complete an epic counterattack.

The win in this game was quite thrilling. The Sonics relied on the shooting of role players to stabilize the situation.

If there were no ordinary players like West, Tucker, and Watson who stood up and sent a fatal blow, it would be difficult for the Sonics to keep their victory by relying on the first few players alone.

Delonte West is the biggest contributor to the win tonight. He made 13 of 8 shots and 11 of 7 three-pointers. He scored 23 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. He made 63.6% of his three-pointers. hot.

诺阿4投2中，罚球2中1，得到5分12篮板7助攻1抢断2盖帽，又是填满数据栏的奇葩表现，真实作用很难用得分衡量。

PJ-Tucker came off the bench and made 4 of 4 shots. He never missed a three-pointer and contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. He was an unexpected surprise tonight.

锋线核心杜兰特出手不多，12投7中，三分球2中1，罚球5中5，得到20分4篮板2助攻1盖帽，发挥稳定。

Earl Watson made 8 of 5 shots, 1 of 0 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 12 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. The data is average, but he did a good job defending against Allen Iverson. It was also an unplanned surprise.

For the Nuggets, Anthony scored the most points with 27 points and Iverson scored 23 points. In addition, only the sixth man JR-Smith scored in double figures, which is a typical style of winning by stars.

The narrow victory over the Nuggets made Seattle fans more convinced that the team is expected to return to the playoffs this year.

There are many scoring points in the team. At critical moments, there are always big-hearted players who stand up to take over the game. The team style of play ensures the team's offensive firepower.

As long as the regular season runs smoothly, this Supersonic team will definitely become the darkest dark horse of this season!
