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

Chapter 213 The agreed goal is to reach the playoffs?This is obviously heading for the championship!
On the 6th, the 76ers defeated the underdog Bobcats 106 to 97 away.

Since sending away "Elvis" Wallace last season, this team has completely entered the rebuilding process. The paper lineup looks very poor. The team's scoring leader is the little-known Gerald Henderson. Both scored only 15.1 points.

Even so, it was not easy for the 76ers to win this game. When the point difference was the largest in the first three quarters, they only led the Bobcats by 8 points. If Brand hadn't stepped up to take over the game in the final quarter, he beat rookie Biyombo one-on-one under the basket. Score 11 points, and the game may not be decided until the last minute.

76人最大的问题还是主力阵容投射不佳，艾弗森三分球5投1中、伊戈达拉4投1中，霍乐迪5中2，加内特1中0，远不如上赛季那支超音速。

SuperSonics players are all good at shooting. Lu Yong developed it into a three-point team in the first year he took over. However, the 76ers' stars used to mainly play two-pointers. Even after hard training in the summer, Nor can it be changed overnight.

Fortunately, the shooting level of the 76ers' bench is good. Vujacic teamed up with Peja Stojakovic to throw 6 three-pointers, which made the 76ers always take the initiative.Coupled with the outstanding personal abilities of Iverson, Garnett, and Brand, the three veterans, the 76ers can gain the upper hand in the positional battle and become the dark horse of the season.

In order to ensure the smoothness of the offense, Lu Yong can only arrange for players to attack the basket through a large number of movements and counter-runs, increase the number of mid-range shots, and make some changes in the original tactical system.

布兰德全场14投10中，罚球6中5，砍下25分11篮板3助攻2盖帽。

艾弗森15投7中，三分球5中1，罚球4中4，得到19分3篮板3助攻2抢断。

加内特11投6中，罚球3中2，贡献14分7篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽，三位老家伙都发挥不错，就是投篮差了点。

After this game, Lu Yong actually had a headache.

The Bobcats became the worst team in the league after being acquired by Boss Joe, but the 76ers struggled against opponents of this level. Even if they won, Lu Yong couldn't be happy.

The only good news is that the 76ers' style of play is tough enough, both offensive and defensive, and it is easier to play a steady performance in the fierce playoffs.

Strong physical confrontation in the playoffs is the advantage of the 76ers, because their current style of play is already standard in the playoffs, and with three experienced veterans in the starting lineup, even if the offensive explosiveness is not as good as the Supersonics, they can still use their own The way to accept the game is to focus on the integration of offense and defense.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and thought for a long time, and decided that the next step is to disrupt the lineup and rearrange, and strive to create a few more sets of play in case of emergencies.

Only when the diversification of offense makes it difficult for opponents to figure it out, can he be worthy of the title of "offensive master" on his head.

On the 9th, the 76ers returned to their home court and defeated the Eastern Conference opponent Magic, easily winning 104 to 79.

"Warcraft" Howard was absent due to a back injury. His absence made the Magic a completely different team. It was difficult to win against the underdogs, and there was basically no chance of winning against the teams in the playoffs last season.

Since Howard left the game with a back strain in the second game of the season, the Magic have suffered a three-game losing streak recently, and the only win was defeating the poor team Cavaliers.

In addition to Howard, only one player in the Magic averaged more than 15 points per game this season, and that was last season's starting power forward Ryan Anderson.

Anderson is a typical space-based insider, with good long-range shooting ability, but poor defense. In this game, Garnett focused on marking and performed abnormally. He only made 7 of 1 shots from outside the three-point line. After playing for 76 minutes, it was frozen by the head coach Stan Van Gundy, and he dared not continue to use it.

When the Magic's top two scorers weren't on the court, the team was uncompetitive and was easily and happily slaughtered by 76 points by the 25ers.

During the offseason, Howard officially submitted a trade application to the Magic management. It is reported that his next stop will most likely go to the Lakers.

When Howard applied to leave the team, Orlando fans didn't care at first, and even openly bombarded Warcraft on the Internet, saying that his playing attitude on the court was too lazy, and the Magic would definitely become stronger by trading him for other players.

But with Howard's absence due to injury, the Magic suffered heavy losses one after another in the new season, and those fans who were still mocking Howard shut up.

Any idiot can see that it is precisely because of Howard that the Magic can play the classic "one-star four-shot" system. Without Warcraft, this is a team that everyone beats, even in the playoffs. don't go in.

Lu Yong doesn't like the Magic team at all. Not only the management is a bunch of idiots, but even the fans are bad enough.

In fact, the history of the Magic team has cultivated many top stars. In the center alone, there are two superstars O'Neal and Howard, and there are Hardaway and Tracy McGrady on the outside.But in the end, they all broke up badly. Even when Howard returned to Orlando after putting on the Lakers jersey, he was booed by the fans at the scene. It was really a group of white-eyed wolves.

The brain circuit of the management is even more incomprehensible to ordinary people. They are stingy, stingy, and short-sighted. The ace combination of "Penny" Hardaway + "Shark" O'Neal was played until it was disbanded. Join this doomed team with no future as a human being.

The white guard JJ-Redick wanted to stand up and take over the offensive banner, but was brutally targeted by the 76ers. He played for 32 minutes and made only 16 of 4 shots, 6 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. Scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting as low as 25%.

It doesn't matter if the offense is not strong, Redick's defense is also ridiculously poor. In the second half, Iverson easily overwhelmed him. He scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the game, setting a new season scoring high.

Iguodala also performed very well. He was crushed against the "Turkish Magician" Turkoglu, who had declined in athletic ability. He played 29 minutes and made 12 of 7 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. Contributed 19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He is more like a magician than the Turks.

Vucevic, who came off the bench, performed equally well. He played 26 minutes and made 10 of 8 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He efficiently scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 80%. , played the best game of the season.

加内特9投5中，罚球3中3，得到13分8篮板4助攻1抢断3盖帽，这赛季得分普遍不高，战术作用却不容忽视，是76人首发五人里最重要的轴心。

Brand only played 16 minutes, made 5 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block. Without Howard's magic, he doesn't need to go all out. The key is to maintain the state. .

On the 10th, the 76ers lost back to back 98 to 105 to the Bulls.

As the No. [-] favorite to win the Eastern Conference after the Heat's Big Three, the Bulls are very strong this season. Four of the starting five have been selected to the All-Star team, and Rose and Noah are at their peak, playing very iron-blooded.

Rose broke through Jrue Holiday in this outburst, played 38 minutes, made 21 of 12 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, 11 of 9 free throws, scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. Breakthroughs and fast breaks are largely different from traditional point guards in the league.

The 76ers dug too much for themselves in the first three quarters. At most, they were 17 points behind the Bulls. Although Iverson and Vujacic chased to single digits in the first half of the last quarter, they still suffered back-to-back physical declines in the end. Affected, the last 2 minutes shot one after another, swallowing the second defeat of the season.

After a day off, the 76ers defeated the visiting Rockets from the West to stop their losing streak, 124 to 96. All members felt online and scored the highest score of the season.

In this campaign, the sixth man "General" Arenas dreamed of returning to the top. He played 32 minutes, made 19 of 12 shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal , allowing fans to see the shadow of his former peak from him.

The explosion of Arenas eclipsed the performance of Iverson, Iguodala, Brand and others. This is destined to belong to his night. It is also the first time since the 09-10 season that Arenas blasted 35+ points in a single game. score.

After the game, Lu Yong celebrated with the players in the locker room. Arenas was more excited than others to return to his peak performance, which had a great impact on the 76ers' offensive firepower.

The "Great General" is a guard with explosive scoring power. When he finds the touch, even Kobe can't take advantage of it.

阿里纳斯生涯最巅峰的一战就是在科比头上砍下的，全场轰下60分8篮板8助攻2抢断对飙科比的45分8篮板10助攻，率领球队加时赛战胜湖人，堪称现实版的一战封神。

Now that Arenas is in a state of rapid decline due to injuries, Lu Yong does not require him to return to his peak state. As long as Arenas can regain his peak self-confidence, he is a qualified bench bandit.

After this game, the 76ers started with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses, ranking third in the East after the Chicago Bulls and Heat.

They were No.11 in the Eastern Conference last season. They lost 10 of the first 7 games. It is difficult to win. The 76ers became a strong team when Lu Yong came. This made the fans very excited. They called Lu Yong God who walks in the NBA.

Garnett started the game averaging 14.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.9 blocks per game. He ranked first on the list of best defensive players. Many media said that he had already locked up this year's best defensive player in advance. , is expected to win the second DPOY of his career under Lu Yong.

During the offseason, those experts who questioned that Lu Yong would overturn the 76ers were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the young champion coach would still be so strong in leading the team in a different environment, which really slapped many experts in the face.

When coaching the Supersonics, the three-pointer was the main scoring method to defeat the opponent, but the 76ers' starting lineup is not good at shooting, so some experts think that Lu Yong will be defeated by the 76ers, and it is difficult to lead the team to achieve excellent results.

But the actual situation is that the 76ers averaged not many three-pointers per game, and more than half of them came from the bench. However, the entire 76ers played quite tough. "Team basketball, those who didn't know thought it was the Philadelphia Spurs.

Online fans are more and more optimistic about the 76ers creating miracles, thinking that making the playoffs is definitely not Lu Yong's limit, and he even has the ability to wrestle with the Bulls and Heat.

Some fans also questioned that Lu Yong was overdrawing the future of the 76ers. He signed many veterans in order to achieve results this season, and they were generally on short contracts. After Iverson retired this year and he left Philadelphia, the mess was left behind. Management, very unethical behavior.

However, this kind of questioning can only be spread in a small area on the Internet, and it is difficult to cause trouble for Lu Yong. Even the management of the 76ers wants to make a lot of money with the gimmick of Iverson's retirement tour. The criticism and doubts of the fans Naturally, it will not affect Lu Yong's coaching.

And he doesn't like Philadelphia himself. If Iverson hadn't thought about returning to his roots in Philadelphia to hold a retirement tour, he would never have thought of coaching the 76ers. The next home in his heart has always been the big cities of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Fortunately, the 76ers' energy in the new season is stronger than he expected. The players are unprecedentedly united from top to bottom. Both veterans and rookies have gritted their teeth and swallowed the hardships of training. For Lu Yong, a newcomer Shuai also showed enough respect and obedience.

With the assistance of two veteran players, Iverson and Garnett, Lu Yong managed the team a lot more easily, and no one dared to stand up to provoke, because it was a stupid thing to ruin his future.

Everyone's goal at this stage is very clear. We will strive to achieve excellent results this season, and the farther we go in the playoffs, the better.

Even if you want to compete for status, you have to wait until Iverson finishes his retirement tour, otherwise not only Iverson will express his dissatisfaction and touch the cake of the team owner, but even the management will not sit idly by.

Lu Yong now has the confidence to lead the team to achieve good results. Even if they can't win the first place in the Eastern Conference, there is still no problem in securing the top four in the Eastern Conference.

On the 14th, the 76ers defeated the Blazers, whose strength had declined sharply, 107 to 92 at home.

The fall of the Blazers is definitely a big loss for the fans. Last season, the Blazers were able to reach the Western Conference semifinals and the defending champion Sonics before losing four games. After the start of the new season, the Blazers have a record of 3 wins and 7 losses. Gradually reduced to fish belly.

The main reason for the Trail Blazers' rapid decline was injuries. Star Roy and the talented "The Great" Oden were reimbursed for the season. Portland's veterinary team did not disappoint their opponents.

Whether it is a strong team or a weak team, NBA teams have their own professional medical teams. Player injuries depend on them. Unless it is really intractable, these teams can solve 90% of the problems.But the Trail Blazers are completely different. They are a recognized "veterinary team", because under their treatment, many players' injuries became more and more serious, and they either fell or retired in the end. It can be called a big black spot in Portland's sports history.

The Blazers have shown too many injury stories to fans in recent years. Greg Oden was the first to let Durant be the second child, and Przybilla, who was injured again after slipping in the bathroom after surgery, was eventually reimbursed. And "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Roy.

Leaving aside Pulzbillah who, like Wall, did not do a good job in the bathroom anti-slip project, Oden traveled thousands of miles to China to play basketball, and was finally discovered by an old Chinese doctor, saying that he had one leg long and the other short, while Bo Tran's team doctor had never found out before.

As for the aggravation of Roy's knee injury, it is purely the end of the medical team's overconfidence. Whenever Huang Mamba is injured, the Trail Blazers team doctor will choose to perform an operation on him, remove part of the meniscus, and then come back from the line of fire. For example, in 2010 After the surgery, he took 8 days off before playing in the playoffs.

Roy's will is invincible, but his knee is not like this. The result of Roy's doing this is that he will still be injured, and then part of the meniscus will be removed, until finally, after 6 knee operations, Roy's meniscus will be completely removed. , There is only "bones and bones head-to-head", and it is no longer possible to play.

In the four years before this season, both Oden and Roy had 4 knee surgeries, and Przybilla had 6 knee surgeries. According to experts, the Trail Blazers had 2 knee surgeries in total in the past four years. There were 12 times without any obvious collisions, and the injuries became more and more serious after being operated by the team doctor, which is really puzzling.

From a metaphysical point of view, it may also be because of the city's nickname "Tear City".

At the beginning of the 1970-71 Trail Blazers team, the home announcer Bill Seanley yelled casually that "Tear City" came into being. A championship, and the subsequent fate of players being torn apart infinitely.

At present, the Blazers can only rely on Aldridge and Gerald Wallace to support them. Their strength is not as good as before. The 76ers have established a double-digit lead early on.

Iverson showed off his power in this game. He played 31 minutes and made 18 of 10 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and 5 of 4 free throws. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals. The assist data set a new season high.

伊戈达拉13投8中，三分球2中1，罚球4中4，得到21分5篮板5助攻1抢断2盖帽，身体状态优于少了半个肺的杰拉德-华莱士，对位中占了上风。

Yi Jianlian came off the bench and performed well. He made 6 of 4 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. He also staged a fast-break counterattack in the third quarter. It was a good show, which aroused the cheers of the home fans.

On the 15th, the 76ers easily defeated the underdog King back-to-back and won three consecutive victories.

It's not a day or two for the Kings to be bad, especially when Thomas Jr. was intercepted by Lu Yong to the 76ers. The King's lineup, which was not strong this season, became even worse this season, and it was all supported by two rookies.

As the best rookie of the past, Evans is indeed very talented, but since Cousins ​​joined the Kings, his tactical status has plummeted. They are not as good as their rookie season, and even their shooting percentages have become lower.

Cousins ​​has improved significantly in the second year of his career, averaging 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. The team's ability to win and all aspects of technology are still a little green.

Cousins' biggest advantage is his strong physique, but tonight he was defeated by Brand, who has a "gas tank" figure. Brand scored 20 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in three quarters, and he was beaten without any temper.

The 76ers won two of the next three games, starting with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, tying the Miami Heat and rising to second place in the Eastern Conference.

The North American fans were stunned. The agreed goal is to reach the playoffs?Judging from this posture, it is obvious that he is heading for the championship!
