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

Chapter 107 History No.1 of being kicked out of the coaching staff?Can't take off the hat of the second child of ten thousand years?
After the All-Star break, the Sonics, which had recently won 8 consecutive victories, had an upset, losing 112 to 117 in an away game to the underdog Pacers.

The Sonics' offensive performance is not bad. Three players scored 20+ points, and five players scored in double figures. However, the Pacers players feel better. The outside line is like a locked basket, and they can make three-pointers no matter what they throw.

The Pacers have two players averaging more than 20 points per game this season. The offensive firepower is not bad. The reason why the record can't be improved is because the defense is too bad and the offensive stability is low.

However, Pacers star Danny Granger exploded in this game. As the legacy of this year's Eastern Conference All-Star, Granger made 21 of 13 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 34 points. With 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, the shooting percentage is as high as 61.9%, and the state is hot.

Second in command, Mike Dunleavy Jr. accompanied the boss to convulse. He made 9 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Back-to-back the next day, the Sonics lost to the No. [-] Spurs in the West.

Lu Yong had long been prepared to lose in this match. Before the game, he rested three main players at one time, leaned back tactically, and did not face the Spurs in back-to-back games.

It is difficult for the Sonics in their heyday to beat this experienced Spurs, not to mention that the back-to-back players are all sluggish, so there is no need to waste physical energy in regular matches with a low winning rate.

The NBA regular season is not only a daunting marathon, but the battle of wits and courage among the head coaches of each team is also interesting.

At the end of the season, in order to choose their favorite opponent in the playoffs, everyone will show off their acting skills and voluntarily lower the team's ranking.In the middle of the season, in order to ensure competitiveness, the teams will also lose tactically. The purpose is to make the team go further in the future.

马刺球星邓肯这场打爆了斯泽比亚克，砍下26分14篮板4助攻2抢断2封盖，命中率56.7%。

The old Duncan is probably the most stable inside star in the history of the NBA. He seldom plays explosive data, but he rarely plays his hips in the game.

No matter who you are playing against, you can always play like a copier.

Ginobili also scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. This year, he is the Spurs' scoring leader. His offensive firepower is stronger than Duncan's and Parker's. He averaged 19.5 points per game, setting a new career season high.

Regrettably, Ginobili has changed from a young boy who just entered the league to an Argentine vulture with thin hair. Since he was selected as an All-Star in 05, the number of votes has dropped sharply, and he has never been able to return to the All-Star.

After defeating the league's No. [-] Celtics, Lu Yong found that the hearts of the Supersonic players have obviously changed.

The players became confident, relaxed and less cautious than they were at the beginning of the season.

In the long run, this may be a good thing, but if the player's state is too relaxed, the defensive strength will decrease, and the shooting selection on the offensive end will become worse, and there will often be wave shots and unnecessary low-level mistakes in positional battles.

The poor mental attributes of rookie players are the only way to grow. Lu Yong has no choice but to give them time to grow and let the players realize the problem and correct it.

Back in Seattle, Lu Yong accidentally learned the news that the Clippers announced that they had fired their chief assistant Carlesimo. Less than a year after he was kicked out of the Supersonics coaching staff by Lu Yong, he lost his job again.

So far, the Clippers' record is only 16 wins and 38 losses, which is only better than the Timberwolves' second-to-last record in the West.

Coach Dunleavy really couldn't bear Carlesimo's dog-like tactical concept. The two had quarrels because of offense from time to time on the bench, and they were in a tense state.

Coupled with the strong rise of the Sonics, Carlesimo looked like a clown, and even bringing the Clippers became a joke among fans. In the end, Carlesimo was unilaterally fired by the team before he even finished the season.

This unemployment is definitely a painful blow to Carlesimo's coaching career. It is more common for a head coach to be fired when he leads a team with poor performance, but a coach with 6 years of coaching experience is also fired as an assistant. never happened.

Carlesimo also set a precedent and became No. 1 in history in terms of being kicked out of the coaching staff.

Hearing this, Lu Yong just smiled lightly, not caring about Carlesimo at all.

If he really wanted revenge back then, it would have been impossible for this guy to lose his job and go home to fish long ago.

This kind of person is a clown who never finds reasons for himself. It is basically useless to coach the NBA in the future. Even the NCAA Division I may not find him as a coach. At most, he can coach a weak team with a mediocre team history. mixed up.

On February 2, the Sonics defeated the Utah Jazz 24 to 116 at home, ending their two-game losing streak and gaining their first victory after the All-Star Game.

上一场对阵马刺被安排轮休的三位主力集体爆发，邦奇-威尔斯对位布鲁尔攻的很凶，全场出战34分钟15投9中，三分球3中1，罚球8中6，砍下25分7篮板1助攻2抢断，命中率高达60%。

休息一场的德隆蒂-韦斯特也状态回暖，三分球8投5中，得到19分4篮板2助攻。

Veteran Michael Finley also performed well. He likes to play against a slow-paced team like the Jazz. He played 26 minutes off the bench and made 11 of 6 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He contributed 16 points and 3 Rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal prove that he is still alive.

The Jazz's weakness is very obvious. The pick-and-roll offense can stabilize the team's lower limit, but it is difficult to break through the upper limit. When encountering the top four teams in the division, they often suffer, and their winning percentage is less than 30%.

This is probably the case with the pick-and-roll and the failure of the pick-and-roll. The pick-and-roll tactics made the old man Jerry Sloan, but it is also the shackles that restrain him from being crownless for life.

On the other hand, the supersonic's powerful offensive firepower has a high upper limit. Although it can't be as stable as the jazz, it often shoots itself to death like the loss to the Pacers, but once the players find the touch, the scene will be dominated Lu Yong, the coach, was afraid, it was too crazy.

On the 26th, the Sonics played an away game against the Hornets. After an offensive (iron strike) battle, they won a thrilling 103-102 victory.

Durant made a game-killing mid-range shot 1.6 seconds before the end of the game, scoring the first quasi-lore goal in his career.

Although the Sonics won the game with Durant's lore, the problems exposed by the rookies still could not be solved. The shooting percentage of the whole game was only 40.6%, and the three-point shooting percentage was 29.7%.

The Hornets have a hit rate of more than 40%, and the Sonics have no chance to stage a lore.

After this game, the Sonics have a record of 42 wins and 15 losses, 1 game ahead of the third-ranked Grizzlies and 1.5 games ahead of the fourth-ranked Suns, and are still firmly in second place in the West.

Lu Yong was deeply depressed about this. He wanted to hit No. [-] in the Western Conference after the All-Star Weekend, but the players had a good time during the holiday and were not in a good state.

The Supersonic has two wins and two losses in the past four games, but in the end, it still failed to take off the hat of Wannian's second child.
