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

Chapter 139 Lu Yong: I also want to release water, but my strength does not allow it!Durant is expected to become the vote king?

Grizzlies five: Gay, Mike Miller, Ariza, Warrick, Gasol.

Fratello also changed his lineup this time. Small forward Gay played the point guard as a guest, leaving "Little Flying Mouse" Stoudemire as a substitute to prevent his height of 1 meters from being targeted by the Supersonics.

Obviously, Fratello has done a lot of homework to win this comeback coaching, even doing things like Gay's cameo as a point guard.

Noah won the jump ball and the game started.

Dragic holds the ball in the middle and finds Noah for a pick-and-roll, breaks through from the right to kill the inside line, and quickly passes Gay to enter the three-second zone.

Gasol wanted to make up the defense but was a step too slow, watching Dragic kill him from behind.

No one was defending at the basket, and Dragic attacked with confidence as soon as he came up, and scored with his left hand on the board. 2 to 0.

The Grizzlies attacked, Lu Yong stood on the sidelines and yelled at the players to switch defenses, let Dragic go to mark Ariza, who was not a big offensive threat, and left the difficult guy to Delfino, and Durant faced Mike miller.

Dragic's body is too weak, single-defense Guy will definitely be beaten to shit today, let him mark Ariza who catches and shoots the best effect, and give the offensive strength to Delfino, the defensive sharp knife.

Fratello originally wanted Gay to take advantage of the Sonics' No. [-] position, but seeing the Sonics decisively choose to switch defenses, he felt a little depressed.

Ariza has not practiced offense with the ball since he joined the Grizzlies. In his tactical system, he has been standing in the corner and waiting to shoot. In addition to being able to open up space, the offensive threat is pitiful.

Even if he has an obvious height advantage against Dragic, it is difficult to beat this group of matchups with his personal ability. This is not Ariza's script at all.

Gay holds the ball in the middle and plays a pick-and-roll with Gasol, suddenly attracting help defenses and distributing the ball to the middle.

Gasol caught the ball high and swayed, facing the defensive jumper and missed the basket, and the backcourt rebound was protected by Landry.

Landry is a little short in height, but he wins because of his explosive physical fitness, good ability to protect rebounds, and no pressure against Warrick, who is not as athletic as himself.

The only bad thing is that Landry doesn't have the ability to instigate a counterattack after grabbing a rebound. The Supersonics can only fall into a positional battle this round.

Dragic dribbled the ball halfway and didn't play singles again. He passed the ball to Durant very interestingly, and then ran to the bottom corner to open up space.

This guy can get ahead in the NBA with mediocre athletic ability, relying on technology and brains. Dragic knows who is the core of the Sonics' offense. He doesn't want to make a fuss when he first starts Lord, arouse the disgust of the boss Durant.

Facing Ariza's ball-holding singles in the middle, Durant made a big change in front of his body and went left. With his explosive advantage, he attracted Gay to help him defend and then decisively passed the ball to the bottom corner.

Dragic caught the ball and got open, stood in the bottom corner and took a look. The three-pointer shot through the net steadily, whoosh! 5 to 0.

Barkley shouted: "Scored an open three-pointer! Dragic scored 5 points in a row as soon as he came up. His performance tonight was better than the fans expected. His mature style of play makes it hard to believe that he is just A rookie."

Kenny Smith was also very surprised, saying: "Lu must have trusted Dragic very much. He was arranged to play the main attack this time, and he can really score. It's unbelievable."

Looking back, Gasol caught the ball in the low post and singled Noah, leaned back and turned around in the middle, facing the defense and forcibly turned over and missed a jumper.

Noah's mobility advantage was brought into play. After landing, he took off for the second time to protect the rebound. Seeing Landry rushing out like a cheetah, he immediately threw the ball up the court.

Landry received the pass one step away from the three-point line, pulled the bar with a three-step backhand to avoid Warrick's block, and scored with a difficult layup. 7 to 0.

The Supersonic's fast-break counterattack is always so sharp. If there is a chance, try boldly, and don't want to miss any moment that may be converted into a score.

After the goal, Landry raised his left hand high, and raised his hand to Noah, who sent a wonderful pass from the backcourt.

This counterattack came from the cooperation of two supersonic inside players, which is rare in the entire league, and it can be called a clear stream.

The Grizzlies attacked, Gay used the screen to break through on the right, misplaced Dragic and used his body to force him, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop in the left three-second zone. 7 to 2.

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines and applauded vigorously. Instead of blaming Dragic for his poor defense, he shouted loudly: "Defend well, don't let your opponent destroy your confidence, keep playing like this, and keep the rhythm of the game!"

Dragic's defense is notorious for pulling his hips. His misplaced defense against Guy would be his life. Lu Yong sent him to start without thinking about defensive meritorious deeds. His offensive performance is his sky.

In the positional battle, this time Gay was very fast around the pick-and-roll and kept up with Dragic.

Dragic saw the opportunity was not good and didn't force it. He took a step to disrupt the Grizzlies' defensive formation, turned around in the air and passed back to Noah on the right at 45 degrees.

Noah didn't stop taking the ball, moved quickly at the top of the arc to find his teammates, made a second response and then distributed the ball to the weak side.

Durant circled the court from the baseline, ran to the left corner to catch the ball, and pulled up a jumper against the defense.

Ariza was blocked by two consecutive screens on the weak side, and it was a bit difficult to chase Durant. He had no time to take off behind him, so he stretched out his hand and made a two-point jumper before making a jump! 9 to 2.

Kenny Smith shouted: "Durant also scored. The Sonics' overall performance tonight is great. Three players have scored since the start. The firepower of this lineup cannot be underestimated. The Grizzlies are in trouble. "

Barkley said: "Ariza is very embarrassing at this point. On the offensive end, he is misplaced and can't beat Dragic. On the defensive end, he can't guard Durant. It's a big social death scene."

Ariza's flaws were exposed in this game. As a 3D player, he can be called the best, but he can easily become a weakness when facing a strong team.When he played for the Rockets in his previous life, as long as he could give some strength on the offensive end, he wouldn't be overturned by the Warriors in the playoffs, and the Rockets didn't even touch the floor of the finals.

The Grizzlies followed the position, and Gasol held the ball in a high position to support him. He repeated the transmission several times but never found a chance.

Seeing that the attack time is getting less and less, Mike Miller runs out of the three-point line to catch the ball, facing Durant and misses a jumper.

This is not an opportunity at all, it is a strong shot against the defense, and Adu interferes with his long arm.

Noah grabbed the rebound, passed the ball and counterattacked.

Durant quickly observed the position of his teammates after receiving the ball, and sent the ball accurately to Dragic for the second time. 11 to 2.

The first-year rookie Dragic fired all his firepower at the beginning, and Fratello stood on the sidelines with a dazed face. Did he agree to save face for him?
As a result, the Grizzlies were suppressed by the Raiders again?
With 3 points behind in 9 minutes, Fratello scratched his hair in frustration and immediately asked for a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Pau Gasol finally started to show off his power, showing his star style in low post singles, and forced Noah to score a goal. 11 to 4.

In the next round, Dragic split the ball after a pick-and-roll. Durant ignored the interference and made a long two-point jumper under Ariza's defense. 13 to 4.

After playing a few more rounds, the Sonics firmly controlled the advantage with their strong offensive firepower, and the point difference was always around 10 points.

Lu Yong also wants to save some face for Fratello, but the premise is that the Sonics win the game, and things like releasing water have to wait until the final quarter at the earliest.

In the second quarter, it was still difficult for the Grizzlies to score offensively.

Except for Miller's two three-pointers from the outside, the team's overall shooting percentage was less than 40%, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger.

Fratello anxiously thought about the adjustment method, and tried all the lineups he could try, but the effect was not good.

Worse still to come, Durant, who scored 11 points in the first half, suddenly exploded in the third quarter.

He first singled out Ariza to score consecutive mid-range shots, and then hit a chasing three-pointer in a fast-break counterattack. He made 7 of 5 shots in a single quarter, scored 12 points and 3 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was 71.4%.

In the last 6 minutes of the final quarter, the Sonics had an 18-point lead.

Lu Yong did not kill them all. After all, tonight is Fratello's comeback debut. He replaced the fringe player in advance and announced that the game has entered garbage time.

As a result, the Supersonics played well even with the third team on the field. Although the point difference was not widened, the Grizzlies had difficulty chasing points. This made Lu Yong sit on the sidelines for a while depressed. The bear is so weak!

At the end, 109 to 95, the Sonics easily won the game.In the second half of the last quarter, the Grizzlies beat the Grizzlies by 14 points.

杜兰特出战31分钟，21投11中，三分球4中1，罚球6中5，砍下28分6篮板3助攻1抢断，发挥稳健。

A total of 7 Sonics scored in double figures. Dragic played 27 minutes and scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. For the first time in his career, he served as a starter and handed in a perfect answer.

The Grizzlies scorer is Rudy Gay, who contributed 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His playing time has skyrocketed this season and he has become the Grizzlies' No. [-] scorer.

After the game, Durant and Lu Yong were highly sought after at the press conference.

Lu Yong briefly commented on the game, saving enough face for Fratello, and did not add insult to injury.

The Supersonic's luxurious record has even brought Durant's popularity soaring. He is now attending the press conference as well as top stars, and reporters rush to interview almost every game.

In the just-opened All-Star voting, Durant's first round of votes is far ahead, and the momentum is stronger than Garnett's last vote. This year, he is expected to be the All-Star voter.

　Thank you Brother Xiao for the 100 points reward, thank you very much.

　　These two friends got married, a little busy, and a little less updates, I regret, I know I was wrong.

　　I'm done with work tomorrow, and I'm going to explode. If I don't explode again, won't I be questioned as short?
