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

Chapter 215 A bold move!A trading offer that insults your intelligence?Lu Yong: Get out! (Ten thousand words chapter)
12月2日，76人主场102：86击败了菲尼克斯太阳。

Since "Son of the Wind" Stoudemire left the team, the overall strength of the Suns has dropped significantly. This season can be said to be led by "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash with a single core.

Only veteran Grant Hill in the starting lineup can be regarded as a former star, and the remaining three starters Gortat, Dudley and Channing Frye are all role players in the league.

Among them, "Polish Hammer" Gortat is still a relatively well-known player in the league, but he has just grown up last season and is currently considered a top blue-collar player. It is difficult to share too much pressure with Nash.

According to reports from the Phoenix media, Nash has gradually lost his patience and is fed up with the team losing. After the contract expires this summer, he is likely to choose to leave for the first championship of his career.

The Lakers, Clippers and New York Knicks are all very interested in him, and they are all teams that have the strength to compete for the championship in a short period of time after reinforcements.

Lu Yong knew that Nash's next stop would be to join the Lakers and form a famous Big Four combination with Kobe, Howard, Pau Gasol and others, but the final result was not very good. After winning the championship, they fell apart after only one season together, becoming the laughing stock of the league.

After this game, the 76ers ushered in a devil's schedule, and the opponents in the next few games were not easy to mess with.

On the 4th, the 76ers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 93:102 at home.

Kobe Bryant broke out in this game. Facing Iguodala's defensive firepower, he scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His shooting rate was close to 50%, and his efficiency was very good.

Steve Blake on the bench also ushered in an explosion, shooting 7 of 5 three-pointers with amazing efficiency.

The main reason for the 76ers' loss was not only the failure to defend against the Lakers' offense, but also problems with their own offense.

Iguodala only hit 14 goals in 3 shots, 5 for 0 from beyond the three-point line, and his efficiency was broken.

Lu Yong no longer has the confidence to transform Iguodala, and the effect of letting him shoot more three-pointers will not be much better. This is indeed not something that can be changed in a short time.

Iverson scored the most points for the 76ers. Meeting Kobe Bryant again in the retirement season inspired Iverson's fighting spirit. He scored 27 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. The last fig leaf of the night.

On the 5th, the 76ers lost to the underdog Nets in back-to-back away games, and suffered a losing streak for the first time this season.

Although the Nets introduced All-Star player Deron Williams last season, the team's starting big center Brook Lopez was reimbursed for the season due to an ankle injury after only playing 5 games. Excellent, only 5 wins and 16 losses, ranking fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

In the first half, the 76ers once led the Nets by as much as 14 points, but they suffered a reversal in the second half.

Under the leadership of Deron Williams, there was a 13:0 climax, which made Lu Yong's nose angry.

Seeing the players hitting the ball like crazy no matter how they shot, Lu Yong stood on the sidelines with a look of helplessness.

Several substitutions and adjustments have been made, but the effect is not very good.

Hitting irons seems to be contagious. If one player keeps hitting irons on the field, the efficiency of the rest of the players will be greatly reduced. This is really a question of metaphysics.

艾弗森22投6中，三分球3中1，罚球5中5，得到18分4篮板4助攻2抢断；伊戈达拉16投6中，三分球5中0，罚球2中2，得到14分7篮板3助攻。

Big center Brand made 10 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and only scored 8 points and 6 rebounds. The only player who performed well was Vujacic on the bench. With 8 points, 5 rebounds and 15 assist, his performance was as stable as ever.

The Nets won the game thanks to the outburst of role players in the team. All-Star guard Deron Williams played a good game, but the 76ers' own offensive dissatisfaction was the key to losing, because no matter whether the Nets No matter how good the team's offense is, their defense is terrible. Lu Yong doesn't want to make any excuses for losing, and can only look for the reasons within himself.

After a day off, the 76ers returned to home and defeated the underdog Wizards, avoiding a three-game losing streak.

Iverson's performance in this game was still not good, shooting less than 40% from the field, playing 28 minutes, scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The 76ers won the game thanks to Kevin Garnett's performance. At the critical moment of the final quarter, he stole the "Brazilian Beast" Nene twice in a row, ensuring that the team maintained its lead until the end.

Although the team won, Lu Yong couldn't be happier. As a well-known offensive coach in the league, one day he can only rely on defense to win. To him, this is not a compliment, but more like an irony .

On the 9th, the 76ers will fly to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles.

The overall perimeter offense of the 76ers is still poor. Even though Lu Yong called all 6 timeouts of the game, he still failed to change the final result.

98 to 104, lost to the Eagles.

The loss in this game is unacceptable to Lu Yong. "Eagle King" Joe Johnson is no longer the presence he was against Kobe Bryant at his peak. This season, his personal data has dropped to 18.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.8 assists per game. Stealing, shooting less than 45%, not even an All-Star.

In addition, the Eagles' main insider Al Horford did not play due to a knee injury, and the 76ers still lost against this level of opponents. Not only did the fans express some dissatisfaction on the Internet, even Lu Yong was also angry.

Iverson is the 76ers scoring most, 23 of 10 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. He tried his best, but still failed to help the team win.

The 76ers lost three of the last four games, and their record fell to 16 wins and 7 losses. They were overtaken by the Miami Heat behind them and slipped to the third place in the Eastern Conference.

To make matters worse, the Indiana Pacers, ranked fourth in the East, also narrowed the win gap to 0.5 games, and may overtake the 76ers at any time.

Seeing the team's offense getting worse and worse, Lu Yong knew that he couldn't continue playing like this. He had to make changes, otherwise even if he made it to the playoffs, he would have a high chance of being eliminated when he met the top teams in the Eastern Conference.

The next morning, Lu Yong called several assistant coaches to have dinner with Iverson.

After serving the food, Iverson was in a low mood, glanced at Lu Yong, and said: "I know that the recent loss is my problem, Lu, I have a lot of unreasonable shots, but I just want to lead the team to win the game , that's all."

Iverson's scoring average during the recent period has not declined, but the offensive efficiency is really appalling.

The shooting percentage has been limited to less than 35% by opponents many times, and a shooting percentage of 40% is considered efficient.

Iverson knows that he has passed the age of leading the team to win by relying on individual singles, but every time he sees the team falling behind and having difficulty chasing points, he is very anxious.

Anxiety will increase unreasonable shots, such a vicious circle, the 76ers' offensive state fell off a cliff, and even Iverson was criticized by the media.

Lu Yong shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Allen, I didn't mean to accuse you today, I just got together to discuss a winning plan. I know you want to use scoring to help the team win, but when it comes to you At this age, some changes should be made, even if you don’t score much, I can make you the key to the team’s victory.”

"You want me to switch to a support role?" Iverson asked.

This season, when Iverson was on the court with the 76ers' second team, the tactic Lu Yong arranged for him was to focus on breakthrough points. The breakthrough points were fake. He would break in to attract defensive points and shoot three-pointers from the outside. is true.

Iverson probably guessed Lu Yong's intentions. Although he didn't resist, the shooting level of the 76ers' current starting lineup is really bad. Even if he is willing to play a supporting role, it may be difficult to win.

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Allen, listen to my plan first. I plan to let Iguodala and Brand come on the bench, and put Vujacic and Hawes in the starting lineup. Both of them are Having accurate long-range three-point shots can open up the offensive space on the court."

"Hawes' height of 2 meters can also form a good frame protection. In this lineup, you can break through and pass the ball to the outside. If the opponent does not double-team, you can choose singles."

Hawes doesn't have much playing time this season, but Lu Yong's desire to put him in the starting lineup is not just a whim.

Compared with rookie Vucevic, Hawes's rebounding ability is much weaker, but he is a veteran who has been in the league for 4 years after all. His three-point shooting rate is more stable than Vucevic's, and the matchup is average. There is still no problem with the center guard.

With Garnett on the side to help defend, Hawes will not be an obvious weakness.

Not to mention Vujacic, since he has played outstanding performances in many consecutive games, Lu Yong has the idea of ​​mentioning him in the starting lineup.

It's just that Iguodala's performance was also good during that time, so Lu Yong didn't make up his mind.

However, Iguodala's performance in the last few games has been really bad. Not only has the long-range three-pointer not been developed, but even the mid-range jumper has been smashing.

Rather than letting the team continue to struggle, it is better to take the initiative to make changes.

"You want Iguodala as a substitute?" Iverson asked.

"That's right, his three-point shooting is not good enough, so he can only shoot in an open state, let him forcefully do things he is not good at, it is better to let him lead the second team on the bench." Lu Yong explained: "My plan is to start with you as the core to build a lineup that is good at shooting and give full play to your characteristics of breaking the ball. This will not only balance the shooting level of the two lineups, but also improve the counterattack speed of the second team."

Veteran Brand's shooting percentage in the penalty area is actually good this season, but when he and Garnett start together, the 76ers' ability to withdraw from the inside is too poor. Outside the line.

If Spencer Hawes is put on the starting lineup, the 76ers' offensive range will be greatly improved.

Vujacic's replacement of Iguodala, who is not good at shooting, can improve the 76ers' perimeter offense to the greatest extent.

In addition, Iguodala can play the role of a ball-handling core as a substitute, and he can cooperate with "General" Arenas, Peja Stojakovic, Yi Jianlian and Vucevic to grab points.

This lineup of one-organ strikers with four turrets can perfectly play the characteristics of his "poor version of James", and he no longer needs to be as timid as when he was a starter, making both sides uncomfortable.

Snyder then added: "Iguodala's style of play is not suitable for playing without the ball. He is more like a starting point with the ball. It is more appropriate to say that he is a point forward. When playing next to you, he will let go more or less. Otherwise, if he plays the role of sixth man, he will definitely be able to explode with greater energy."

Lu Yong smiled and asked, "Allen, what do you think of this proposal?"

Of course, Iverson couldn't find a reason to refuse. He could play more comfortably by placing more shooters around him.

When breaking through to the inside, if he attracts double-teams, he will pass the ball. If he cannot attract double-teams, he will force himself. This is his favorite playing rhythm.

However, Iguodala is the key training target named by the 76ers management. If Lu Yong wants to put him on the bench, I am afraid there will be opposition.

"I think this proposal is very good. As long as it can help the team, I will stand by your side unconditionally. Do it with confidence, Lu. If you encounter resistance, I will come forward to solve it for you." Iverson patted his chest and said .

If it is just a respected old veteran, Iverson may not have this right yet, but after this season, he will enter the management team and become a minority shareholder of the 76ers, so he still has some right to speak.

It is indeed a sacrifice for Iguodala to play the sixth man, but if it can create more benefits for the team, this kind of matter can be solved easily or troublesomely, the most important thing is to let Iguodala Pull yourself to accept the position of the sixth man willingly, and don't feel dissatisfied.

Otherwise, once there is chaos in the team's locker room, it will not be easy to unite people.

This is indeed the case. When Lu Yong approached Iguodala and expressed to him that he hoped that he would come off the bench to lead the second team, Iguodala's face turned dark instantly.

He has been working hard to hit the All-Star, so that he can sign another big contract after the contract expires. If he plays as a substitute, he must sacrifice his personal data, which is not good for his career development.

"Coach, is it because I haven't played well enough recently? I know there may be some problems with my recent state, but I will adjust as soon as possible. Can you not let me play as a substitute?" Iguodala asked with a depressed expression.

"Don't be nervous, Andre, you have been playing well, but in order to win I have to make some adjustments now. Letting you serve as the sixth man to lead the second team is not a suppression, but to help the team get out of trouble. The key." Lu Yong drew the pie seriously.

"I have considered for a long time before making this decision. It is of great benefit to the team that you play as a substitute, because you can play your own characteristics in the second team. Don't you want to play the role of the core of the ball and lead the team? "Lu Yong explained patiently. "You are doomed to be diluted by other people when you start the game. It is difficult to display your personal value, and I have discussed with Allen that as long as you want to stay in the 76ers, he will try his best to fight for you after he enters the management team. contract."

This sentence is really not made up by Lu Yong. It is a promise given to him by Allen Iverson, or in other words, it is compensation for asking Iguodala to volunteer as a substitute.

As long as he is willing to stay with the 76ers, the team will definitely offer him a contract that is not lower than the market price.

Iguodala is definitely out of luck with the top salary, after all, his strength lies there, but it is still no problem to get a contract with an annual salary of about 1300 million.

Iguodala was quietly relieved when he heard the words. At least Lu Yong made this decision not because he played too badly recently and was about to be abandoned, but because the team needed to make changes.

Although the results are the same, it sounds like I feel much better.

Seeing that Iguodala was still hesitant, Lu Yong took advantage of the heat and said: "I hope you can compete with the general for the best sixth man this season, and besides you, Elton will also play as a substitute. I have already told him He discussed it, and he readily accepted my offer."

"What? Elton will also play as a substitute?" Iguodala froze for a moment.

"Of course, he is a veteran who takes the overall situation into consideration. He knows what he needs more now. Only when you play the second team can you play your characteristics better. Believe me, this is indeed a good thing." Lu Yong said.

Brand is already a veteran on the verge of retirement, and his personal status has declined severely in recent seasons. When Lu Yong told him that he wanted him to come off the bench, Brand just thought about it and readily accepted.

He knew his current status and status, and he didn't have the ability to bargain with Lu Yong at all. Instead of making everyone unhappy, he might as well follow the arrangement.

Iguodala heard that even "Captain" Brand was willing to play as a substitute, and he quickly agreed.

Anyway, his contract is about to expire this summer, and he can leave the team at any time if he is not happy. If the 76ers can go further or win the championship trophy, then he will really make it. It will be impossible to sign a big contract. not a problem.

The most important thing is that Iguodala has a high basketball IQ, and he recognized Lu Yong's previous explanation.

In the first team, Iverson and Garnett are two top stars. He can't play his own characteristics at all. He can only play the role of an off-ball player. He either uses the pick-and-roll to cut to the basket or catches the ball from the outside. .A large part of the data in the game was obtained by leading the second team in the second quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter.

As the sixth man, he can completely let go of himself and play in an offensive big-core way. Even if his playing time is reduced, it is not a bad thing.

After thinking about this, Iguodala felt much better, and even had the desire to challenge for the best sixth man.

After solving the Iguodala matter, Lu Yong immediately called the players to participate in training, began to practice new tactics, and adjusted the new lineup.

As a result, the tacit understanding of this combination exceeded his expectations. Iverson played like a fish in water in this lineup. Whether it was breaking through the ball or the strong side singles after the players pulled away, they were almost perfect. People can see from him The agility at its peak.

Hawes and Vujacic, who are already good at catching and shooting, quickly integrated into the offensive system.

They rely on this ability to play in the NBA. The tasks of positional warfare are relatively simple, including catching and shooting, transferring the ball, and running. If you can't do these things well, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in the NBA.

After the substitute small forward became Iguodala, the offensive rhythm of the 76ers' second team became much faster.

Protecting the backcourt rebounds can immediately launch a counterattack. Iguodala can be both an end point and a shooter. Using LeBron James to drive a group of shooters around him is also very efficient.

Seeing the outstanding performance of the two lineups in the training match, Lu Yong had a smile on his face.

The real effect will only be known in actual matches, but he feels that his adjustment will definitely have an effect.

There's no reason for the 76ers' offensive firepower to get worse by replacing famous players with players who are more suitable for the system.

On the 12th, the 76ers played at home against the Sonics.

Both Vujacic and Hawes, who were mentioned as starters, performed well, scoring from beyond the three-point line.

Iverson focused on breaking through and scored 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the team lead the Supersonics by 7 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides competed with the substitutes. Iguodala led a group of substitutes and quickly expanded the lead to double digits, directly beating the Supersonics with a wave of offense.

Not only can they use counterattacks to score, but they can also break through and score in positional battles. The overall offensive firepower has not decreased but increased, and their performance is very strong.

In the second half, the 76ers expanded their lineup rotation.

When the team leads by a big score, Lu Yong is accustomed to sending role players on the team to reduce the playing time of veteran players and put the health of the players first.

The Supersonics scored in battles due to the singles of Durant and David Lee. "Martial Saint" Jackson played well this time, but the management has gradually lost patience with him, and the current position in the Supersonics is not good. It is stable and has the risk of being traded at any time.

In the end, 112:100, the 76ers defeated the SuperSonics at home, and Lu Yong also completed a season double defeat against his old club.

The Supersonics have changed significantly this season. Brooks is not a coach who is good at arranging the team to shoot a lot of three-pointers. He is used to letting Durant lead the role players.

Although this approach ensured Durant's personal data, the tactical status of role players has dropped significantly, which has caused dissatisfaction among some people in the team.

At the press conference, Stephen Jackson implicitly expressed his disappointment in an interview, thinking that the Sonics and Lu Yong had changed too much when they were coaching, and this was not his favorite rhythm of play.

Although Jackson did not explicitly say that Brooks' coaching ability is not as good as Lu Yong's, anyone can tell that this guy has an idea in his heart, and blamed his declining state to the coaching change.

If the Sonics can't make changes in the next few seasons, then things will get quite interesting.

Brooks is really struggling right now, but his coaching ability is actually not bad. In Lu Yong's previous life, he once led the three Thunder players to the finals.

However, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

When fans have become accustomed to the Sonics' super-powerful offense that can always destroy everything, the team's performance this season will naturally be unsatisfactory.

According to media analysis, after the end of this season, the Supersonics will definitely undergo a wave of major blood changes, placing more important helpers around Durant to avoid causing Durant's dissatisfaction.

On the 15th, the 76ers defeated the Grizzlies 111:96 away and won two consecutive victories.

The offensive efficiency of the 76ers' starting lineup is indeed much better than before. Vujacic can play a stronger three-point threat in this lineup, because he has Iverson, a star who is good at breakthroughs, and is even more powerful after attracting double-teams. Easy to get vacancies.

The same is true for veteran Brand, who was transferred to the second team. The opponent's substitutes are weak inside, so he can perform well when he comes on.

Playing the opponent's backup center is completely a dimensionality reduction blow, and he may have the opportunity to participate in the best sixth man competition after going all out.

Although Brand's coming off the bench will reduce the playing time of "White Monster" Vucevic to a certain extent, Lu Yong did not relax his cultivation of Vucevic.

He is the most suitable center for the team's interior to support the offense. If he is honed in the regular season, he may even start in the playoffs.

Lu Yong is quite concerned about his progress, and often asks Garnett to guide him in private training, hoping that Vucevic can transform in a short time.

After the lineup adjustment, the 76ers won two consecutive victories, and Lu Yong could feel that the confidence of the players in the team had returned.

On the 17th, the 76ers played against the Eastern Raptors at home.

The Raptors management has identified a new training core and plans to build the team around DeMar DeRozan, the No. 09 pick in the first round of 9.

上个赛季他交出了场均17.2分3.8篮板1.8助攻1抢断的数据，投篮命中率46.7%，让不少球迷从他身上看到了科比的影子。

The Raptors who are in the rebuilding period don’t have much choice. When Bargnani, the No. 06 pick in [-], failed to perform beyond expectations, he has been gradually given up by the Raptors management, and it is impossible to become the second Dirk Nowitzki. .

The Raptors' overall strength is too poor, and head coach Casey cannot lead the team to win.

Lu Yong rested veterans Garnett and Arenas this time. Even so, the 76ers still beat their opponents by nearly 20 points.

Allen Iverson broke out this time. He played 31 minutes, made 22 of 14 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. The efficiency is not bad.

If it weren't for the opponent's poor level, Iverson hardly played in the fourth quarter, and he would definitely score 40+ easily tonight.

On the 20th, the 76ers flew to Minnesota and defeated the Western Conference Timberwolves away from home.

The new wolf king Kevin Love has very eye-catching statistics this season, averaging 26 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that all of Love's personal data has been brushed up. The entire Timberwolves have no dreams at all now. They don't have enough chips for reconstruction, and they don't have enough strength to produce results. They can only rely on this kind of thing. To gain attention and increase home ticket revenue.

The 76ers beat the Timberwolves in terms of overall strength. They played against their opponents from the first quarter, and once led by 31 points when the point difference was the largest.

The most exciting thing during the game was that "Wolf King" Garnett returned to Minnesota and won warm applause from the home fans.

Whenever Garnett scored, the Timberwolves fans would burst into cheers. Those who didn't know thought Garnett was a Timberwolves player.

Seeing the enthusiastic pursuit of Garnett by the fans at the scene, Lu Yong was also very moved sitting on the sidelines.

Minnesota's ball market is indeed a bit small, and the climate is extremely cold, even harsh, but Minnesota fans are very enthusiastic.

Garnett has been away for so many years, and he still gets applause every time he returns here. This alone has surpassed most teams in the league.

Under the enthusiastic cheers of the away fans, Garnett's performance did not disappoint. He played 28 minutes, 12 of 7 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, 18 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. Perfect data to give back to fans.

On the 22th, the 76ers visited Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

The two sides fought hard in two overtime games, and finally the 76ers defeated their opponents 118:115, winning 5 consecutive victories.

In the last 11.2 seconds of regular time, Nowitzki hit a jumper from the left free throw line to help the Mavericks lead by two points, but Iverson's final attack brought his personal heroism to the extreme.

After the pick-and-roll, Haywood broke through the singles and scored a layup, successfully dragging the game into overtime.

Entering the first overtime, the two sides played very anxiously, and only scored 8 points in total.

With Terry missing a three-pointer at the outside buzzer, the two teams entered the second overtime.

Iverson broke out in overtime and scored 7 points in a row to help the 76ers win.
全场比赛，艾弗森出战41分钟，砍下36分4篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽，颇有梦回巅峰的意思。

After defeating the Mavericks, the 76ers' record came to 21 wins and 7 losses, and once again surpassed the Miami Heat to return to the second position in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Bulls with 23 wins and 5 losses.

The Bulls have only lost 5 games so far, ranking first in the league and are the number one favorite to win the championship at this stage.

The most powerful part of the Bulls is the airtight defense. Although Joakim Noah is the only player in the team who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team, the head coach Tom Thibodeau does have two brushes. Forged an iron-blooded army.

The 76ers played against the Bulls once in the regular season, but they regretted losing.

The two teams fought with real knives and guns, and Lu Yong did not have the confidence to win for sure.

However, the Bulls' road to the championship is not easy. Power forward Carlos Boozer was injured in the game against the Spurs not long ago and is expected to miss at least 2-3 weeks.

Derrick Rose also sprained his ankle in the early part of the season. Although there has been no bad news since he played with the injury, Rose's ankle and knee are always a hidden danger.

If Derrick Rose is injured, the Bulls' competitiveness will plummet. Even if they keep the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference, they are likely to encounter a black eight in the first round like their previous lives.

After observing for a while, Lu Yong felt that the 76ers still have a high chance of competing for the championship this year. As long as the status quo is maintained, there is a chance of winning against any team in the Eastern Conference in the playoffs, and he is full of expectations.

After three days of rest, the 76ers ushered in the annual Christmas game. Their opponent was the New York Knicks led by Carmelo Anthony.

The Knicks currently rank seventh in the East with a record of 16 wins and 12 losses. It seems that they are not outstanding, but the team is not weak.

The two teams were entangled at the beginning of the first quarter. The scoring mainly depends on the singles of the stars and the catch-and-shoot jump shots of the role players. The shooting percentage is not high.

This anxious situation did not change until the second quarter, and the contest between the two benches became the performance time of the 76ers.

Iguodala's fast-break counterattack frequently staged dunks, and "General" Arenas also scored two three-pointers.

"Captain" Brand played one-on-one under the basket. The Knicks' backup center Harrelson even had the advantage. In just one and a half minutes, he scored 6 points in a row and directly stunned his opponent.

The only worrying thing is that in the second half of the third quarter, Vucevic fell to the ground with the "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler in the process of grabbing a rebound. Vucevic's expression after falling to the ground Holding his ankle in pain, he was finally helped off the field by the team doctor.

Without Vucevic, the competitiveness of the 76ers' second team has not weakened, but Lu Yong retains a trace of worry between his brows. Injuries are the last thing he wants to see.

Fortunately, Vucevic's ankle injury is not serious after being checked by the team doctor, and he is expected to return to the team after a week of absence.

In the final quarter, the 76ers held a double-digit lead and continued to suppress the Knicks.

At the end, they won the game 106:95 and won the Christmas War again after many years.

神射手武贾西奇这场发挥出色，三分线外10投7中，高效砍下21分2篮板1助攻。

In the third quarter, he hit consecutive shots from the same position at 45 degrees on the left side. He single-handedly stopped the Knicks and proved to the entire league that he is a well-deserved top shooter.

After a day off, the 76ers returned to Philadelphia and lost to the visiting Golden State Warriors in the West.

Warriors main point guard Stephen Curry broke out, scoring 33 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists. He cooperated with sixth man Klay Thompson's 5 three-pointers to help the team win, ending the 76ers' winning streak.

On the morning of the 28th, the Orlando Magic provided a trade request to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Use role player Weaver + second-year rookie Earl Clark to offer backup center Vucevic.

The Magic are ready to lose Howard, and are currently actively looking for a potential rookie center as a training object.

Although Vucevic has always been on the bench in the 76ers, and his personal data is not too brilliant, his talent and potential are visible to the naked eye. The Magic management is thinking about him and hopes to get Vucevic through a trade. .

But the Magic management is a group of idiots whose minds are full of nuclear wastewater. Faced with this offer that almost insulted his IQ, Lu Yong was so angry that he laughed out loud and almost pointed his finger at the nose of the Magic general manager to tell him how far he could go. How far to go.

Let alone these two players as trading chips, even if they are free to sign, Lu Yong thinks that they occupy the position.

I don't know how the Magic management has the nerve to provide this offer, which is clearly an insult to Lu Yong's IQ.

How bad are these two?
Needless to say, Weaver is a well-known CBA star, and his personal ability has indeed been confirmed in the CBA, but in the NBA he is a dispensable marginal man.

The second-year rookie Er Clark seems to have some potential. The high-ranking rookie selected with the 14th overall pick in the first round still has room for improvement, but Lu Yongbi knows that Clark is a parallel importer.

He played in the NBA for a total of 6 years and changed 6 teams. In his peak season, he could only surrender 7 points and 5 rebounds.

Clark eventually joined the CBA Shandong Express Men's Basketball Team like Weaver and played for one season, averaging 26 points and 10 rebounds per game, all thanks to his youth and physical strength.

It is not only the Magic that made a trade offer to the 76ers, but also the Sacramento Kings in the West.

The Kings fell in love with the 76ers' backup point guard Thomas Jr., and his sincerity is much better than that of the Magic management. They directly quoted Fredette, the No. 10 pick in the first round of this year, obviously very optimistic about Thomas Jr.'s future.

The general manager of the 76ers notified Lu Yong immediately after hearing the news and asked him if he needed to start negotiations on the deal. Lu Yong waved him down without even thinking about it.

Although Fredette is the No. 10 pick in the first round of this year, he has never proved himself in the NBA, and his strength is far inferior to the strongest 1 meters on the surface.

At first glance, the 76ers took advantage of this deal, but only Lu Yong knew that it was a big pit.

Domestic fans are no strangers to the player Fredette, not because of his outstanding performance in the NBA, but because this guy later set off a bloody storm in the Chinese CBA League.

Not only did he win the CBA regular season MVP, he also won the CBA scoring title with an average of 36.9 points per game in a single season. He also set a historical record of 10 three-pointers in a single game in the All-Star Game and was nicknamed the "Lonely God" by fans.

Of course, Fredette's most legendary game was against the Sichuan team when he was playing in Shanghai. He made 36 of 18 shots, 22 of 11 three-pointers, and 23 of 23 free throws. He scored 70 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. 4 steals and 2 blocks, a strong group.

It's a pity that no matter how good Fredette played in the CBA, it was useless. In the NBA, his shortcomings of insufficient confrontation and unstable shooting were infinitely magnified.

It is barely enough to play a rotation in a rebuilding team, but in a championship team like the 76ers, the "Lonely God" is a burden.

Unless Lu Yong is crazy, he will trade Thomas Jr. for the Lonely God alone. He will not give up Thomas Jr., an outstanding rookie with immediate combat power, even with a little brain.

Having rejected the offers from the Magic and the Kings successively, the 76ers seem to have planned to use the current lineup to hit the championship.

If there are no large-scale injuries and accidents, Lu Yong has no plans to trade core players in the short term.

On the 29th, the 76ers defeated the underdog Cavaliers again at home.

Another player in the team was injured. Veteran Peja Stojakovic stepped on the instep of Antoine Jamison when the shot landed and sprained his ankle. He is expected to be absent for 2-3 weeks.

After the game, Lu Yong watched the round repeatedly through the video and found that Jamison did not deliberately tiptoe, which was indeed just an accident.

All teams are afraid of player injuries, but injuries are unavoidable in the NBA. Lu Yong can only be forced to adjust the lineup.

And they have become more cautious in using veteran players, reducing the playing time of Garnett, Iverson, Brand and others, and reusing young players, striving to stay healthy during the regular season and avoid another tragedy.

Player injuries are a disaster for most teams, but for the current 76ers, it is not all bad.

After Peja Stojakovic was injured, Meeks and Nocioni on the bench got more opportunities to play. They can also be honed in the regular season and integrated into the team's tactical system. An accident happened in the postgame, and the 76ers will not be disrupted in the offensive system, and someone can top it at any time.

On the 30th, the 76ers played back-to-back games against the Magic at home.

Even if "Warcraft" Howard came back, the 76ers still took away the victory through iron-blooded defense and Allen Iverson's outstanding performance.

Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy is a very stubborn person, he is not easy to change his style of play.

Lu Yong is very familiar with the Magic's one-star and four-shooter system. He immediately defended a 3-2 zone defense at the beginning, put veteran Brand back into the starting lineup, and asked him to defend Howard one-on-one under the basket. The weak-side players were determined No double teaming is performed.

When Howard couldn't attract double-teams with the ball inside, it was naturally difficult for the Magic's outside shooters to create shooting opportunities, and their offensive firepower dropped sharply.

Howard has a height advantage in singles against Brand, but the strength of the two is equal. The one-on-one offensive efficiency is not high, and the 76ers quickly opened the score.

Iverson broke out in the second half, singled out Richardson and gradually found his form, scoring 12 points, 2 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, shattering the Magic's hope of a comeback.

At the end, 107:94, the 76ers won the last victory in December without any risk.

艾弗森出战32分钟，19投11中，三分球4中2，罚球3中3，得到27分2篮板5助攻1抢断。

Brand, who was assigned the task at the critical moment, also performed very well. He did not fall behind in one-on-one defense against Howard. He made 10 of 6 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He contributed 14 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, limiting Howard's shooting percentage to 50%. Below, the task is well completed.
加内特的发挥还是一如既往的出色，13分8篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽的数据不算耀眼，但他在球场上的作用却不是数据能衡量的。

If the 76ers win the championship this year, the deal about Garnett during the offseason will definitely be written into history.

Throughout December, the 12ers achieved a record of 76 wins and 9 losses.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be outstanding, but when Lu Yong adjusted the starting lineup, the 76ers handed over a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, an amazing winning rate.

The media can see that the 76ers are completely on the right track, and their style of play is becoming more and more like a championship team. Even the ambitious Big Three of the Heat feel the pressure.
