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

Chapter 140 Winning Streak!Nine-finger dunk king?Lu Yong: Let me figure out how to pick up the leak
On the 25th, the Sonics flew to Memphis for the second consecutive game against the Grizzlies.

The difference from the last match is that tonight's game is a Christmas game deliberately arranged by the league, and it is also the first time the Supersonics have shown their faces in the Christmas game in recent years.

The last time dates back to the period of "Glove" Payton and "Rain Man" Kemp, and it has been 10 years.

When the players played in the evening, the Grizzlies home fans gave warm applause to Lu Yong who returned to Memphis. Whenever Lu Yong revisited his hometown, he would be warmly welcomed by Memphis fans, and he was regarded as the number one contributor to the first championship in team history.

The two teams played against each other just the day before yesterday, and they are very familiar with each other's style of play. They didn't waste too much time mobilizing before the game, and everything was normal.

When the players were warming up, Tony Brown sat next to Lu Yong and said with emotion: "Lu, I thought more than once if I hadn't left Memphis with you, what would I be like now? Maybe I'm still an unknown assistant coach? Or Already facing unemployment? I’m so glad I chose to come to Seattle with you, and now looking back, this experience is still like a dream.”

"Looking forward to the future is worse than remembering the past. You have to believe that the future will be better. With your current coaching ability, you will be able to become the head coach sooner or later." Lu Yong laughed.

Tony Brown has been studying with Lu Yong for nearly three years. His current coaching ability is not weak. If the Sonics can successfully win the championship in the next few years, he is likely to receive invitations from other teams and step into the team ahead of schedule. Head coach's seat.

Life will always face many choices and crossroads. As Tony Brown said, he made the right decision between staying in Memphis and going to Seattle. Now he deserves all the treatment and has walked out of his own path. bright road.

After the game started, the two teams dedicated a wonderful game to the fans on Christmas Day.

Fratello returned to the coaching staff this time and personally recruited an assistant. The young coach from the European Turkish League, Valdonovic, is only 33 years old this year, which is not much different from Lu Yong's age when he was an assistant.

Lu Yong didn't have much impression of this man. He only knew that he was the coach of the excavator team in the Turkish League. He had average leadership ability, but he was young and had ideas in his head. From time to time, he made suggestions for Fratello.

After discussing with the assistant coach, Fratello decided to speed up this time, giving up the offensive rebound, and ordered the players to run to guard against the supersonic fast break.

Spurs head coach Popovich used this self-defeating method in the playoffs. He did a good job of restricting the Supersonics' fast-break counterattack, but it is difficult to suppress the Supersonics' offensive firepower.

The Grizzlies players worked very hard tonight, strictly implementing the defensive tactics required by Fratello, and their defensive strength was improved by a notch compared with the previous game.

However, the supersonic's strong offensive firepower is not due to the outstanding ability of the stars, but the terrifying depth of the lineup so that the opponent does not know which role players will break out in this game.A wave of team offense is hard to defend against, and they often play offensive waves to take away the game.

The Sonics sent out a total of 25 assists and cooperated tacitly. They made 42 of 17 shots from beyond the three-point line, and the 40.4% three-point shooting rate was also astonishing. They firmly suppressed the Grizzlies from the beginning.

In the end, 111 to 102, the Sonics, who failed to make a fast break and counterattack, did not score many points, but still won by 9 points.

The biggest problem for the Grizzlies this year is the lack of offensive firepower. Positional battles can only rely on star singles, and use their personal abilities to drive role players to score.

瓦里克首发出场11投4中，罚球5中3，得到11分6篮板1助攻2抢断1盖帽的数据看似不错，可糟糕的进攻效率和空间还是难以掩盖他的毒瘤属性。

This year is the last year of Warrick's rookie contract. If there is no accident, this guy will definitely become a free agent in the summer and leave the Grizzlies. It will be difficult to be reused by the head coach.

On the 27th, the Sonics easily defeated the underdog Wizards 128 to 93 in an away game.

The Wizards' two stars, Jamison and Caron Butler, both misfired, and they only scored 28 points together, playing poorly.

其中贾米森被顶替斯泽比亚克首发登场的PJ-塔克锁死，17投5中，三分球6中1，罚球2中2，仅得到13分6篮板1助攻，命中率不足30%。

Durant has a clear advantage in height against Butler. He played 32 minutes, made 21 of 13 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, scoring the highest score in the game.

Francis also ushered in an explosion, blasting the Wizards starting point guard Mike James one-on-one. Yes, he was the "black brine egg" who had been teammates with Yao Ming, but played alone and refused to pass the ball.

Boss Fu is crushing in singles with the ball, scoring 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. This season, his state has recovered significantly.

After a day of rest, the Sonics beat the Mavericks 116 to 107, avenging their revenge not long ago.

"Nerve Knife" Terry is no longer miraculous. He only made 18 of 6 shots and scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

The biggest highlight of the Mavericks is the "nine-finger dunk king" Gerald Green dedicated two wonderful dunks, a 360-degree windmill dunk in the counterattack, and an alley-oop with a flat basket after receiving a pass from his teammate, which amazed the audience. Amazing athleticism.

The reason why Green has only nine fingers is because when he was 11 years old, Green and his friends competed to see who could touch the top edge of his living room door.

Green was wearing his mother's graduation ring, but when he jumped up and hit the top edge of the door, his ring got stuck on a nail on the edge.

The accident caused the skin and tendons above the second knuckle of Green's right ring finger to be torn. In the end, Green underwent surgery to amputate all the part above the second knuckle of the ring finger, which gave him the title of "Nine Finger Dunk King". .

Green, who entered the league in 05, has been wandering around. He has changed four teams in four years and has no fixed place. This season, he averaged only 5.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. He played under Rick Carlisle, who focuses on both offense and defense. not much time.

Sitting on the sidelines and watching Gerald Green play, Lu Yong was a little bit excited, calculating whether he could be fooled by the Mavericks to improve the mobility of the Supersonic swingman position.

Gerald Green, who won the All-Star Slam Dunk King, is not the kind of idiot who can only show dunks. In his peak season, he averaged 15.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 steal per game. He averaged 6.2 three-pointers per game. Divide the ball, hit 2.5, and the hit rate is as high as 40%.

This guy not only exploded in physical fitness, but he was also very threatening in shooting. It wasn't a difficult three-point shot, but he had to float his body to throw the ball to improve his shooting percentage.

At first glance, Gerald Green can only score 5.2 points this season, but Green's average playing time this year is less than 10 minutes per game. This kind of scoring efficiency is definitely not low. Impeccable in terms of athletic talent, shooting and mental fighting spirit.

The Supersonics need a player like Green who can run, dunk and shoot.
The opportunity to pick up the missed dunk king is in front of him, and it is difficult for Lu Yong to convince himself not to be tempted.

The only trouble is that the Supersonics' 15-man roster is full, and they must give up a player if they want to sign in. This makes Lu Yong have to carefully consider whether this deal is worth the Supersonics' energy.

On the 30th, the Sonics beat the Rockets back to back 108 to 82, winning six consecutive victories.

Rockets star Tracy McGrady was reimbursed for the season due to a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee. Currently, the Rockets are led by Yao Shannuo. Even though Yao Ming's offensive attack scored 21 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, the Rockets still lost by 26 points.

It is not easy for Yao Ming to lead the team to stabilize the top eight positions in the Western Conference. They are destined to be powerless against the fast-paced Supersonics.

After playing the Rockets, the Sonics got three days to rest, and the players had enough time to recharge their batteries.

On January 1, the Sonics will host the Pistons.

This is the first time four-time scoring champion Allen Iverson led his team to fight against the Sonics after being traded to the Pistons. It was the highlight of a national live broadcast.

　Today's first update, today I plan to explode a new wave, let's see how many words I can burst out.
