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

Chapter 226 3 to 0!Lu Yong: Coach Thibodeau has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter;
In the second quarter, Lu Yong continued to play a small lineup, Arenas, Meeks, Iguodala, Peja Stojakovic, and Yi Jianlian.

Iguodala is currently in his prime age as a player and has plenty of physical energy. He came on the field again after more than two minutes of rest in the first quarter. He has played the most minutes among all 76ers players in this year's playoffs.

The Bulls' bench is still the same, Watson, Korver, Ronnie Brewer, Luol Deng, and Noah.Luol Deng and Noah did not rest and stayed on the court to lead the substitutes.

Tom Thibodeau's trump card is to increase the playing time of the main players. When it comes to beating the main players to death, he said that he is second. No coach in the league dares to say that he is first.In Lu Yong's previous life, a large part of the reason for Rose's decline during his peak period was Thibodeau's overuse of him. He was not willing to replace the main players even in garbage time. The coaching record of this kind of coach is indeed not bad, but for the players The physical requirements are also unique.

Jimmy Butler was able to establish his worth in the Bulls later on, thanks to his iron-clad body. Most people really can't stand Thibodeau's iron-blooded tactics.

Noah's presence can ensure that the Bulls' defense will not collapse, but it cannot change the problem of offensive hips.Watson and Noah didn't pose much of a threat in the pick-and-roll, so the 76ers took a step back to defend and let their shots go.

Watson's attitude is more positive, but his skills are rough and his athletic talent is so-so. The Bulls can only rely on luck to score when he launches the offense, and it has been unable to organize a wave of offensive.

On the other hand, the bench led by "General" Arenas has much stronger offensive firepower. Whether it is breaking through with the ball or shooting from the outside, it helps the 76ers continue to expand their lead.

He couldn't compete with the 76ers in the starting lineup, and he was still beaten when he came off the bench. This made Tom Thibodeau very embarrassed. He stood off the court and didn't know how to adjust.

Thibodeau has been confused many times in this game. Once he was confused by the small 76ers starting lineup, and once when Thomas, who is only 1 meters tall, led Rose.Looking at the gap between the two teams' second lineups, Thibodeau immediately felt disheartened and could only get the main players back in advance after 75 minutes.

It's a pity that neither Luol Deng nor Noah took a rest. The physical exertion made the two men's condition begin to decline. One could not attack and the other could not defend. The 76ers soon took the opportunity to open the score.

During the regular season, the 76ers lost to the Bulls twice, but at that time the 76ers were still in the running-in period.

Entering the playoffs, the 76ers players' hard work and tacit understanding are getting better and better. The Bulls still did not make any adjustments after losing the first game. If they continue to fight with this style of play, the Bulls will undoubtedly lose.

In the first half, Luol Deng and Noah played full game.Rose and Boozer only rested for more than 3 minutes. Although they worked together to lead the team to recover some points, the 76ers still held a double-digit lead.

At halftime, 59 to 43, the 76ers led by 16 points.

In the second half, Lu Yong let Iverson and Garnett, who had rested for more than half a quarter, lead the team. He still focused on high-post support. The peripheral players actively moved around and looked for opportunities to shoot or attack the basket.

As long as Noah is moved out of the penalty area by Garnett, the Bulls' frame protection efficiency plummets. Thibodeau dare not send Asik to play in the twin tower lineup. Asik is still too young now, averaging only 3 points and 5 rebounds per game. 1 block, which is far less effective than Boozer who can attack with the ball.

Five minutes later, Thibodeau replaced Brewer, and the team was already 5 points behind.

When Brewer was on the court, the defense of the Bulls' starting five was really strong. He also did a good job guarding Iverson. But the key is that Brewer couldn't score. He was left open when he was pulled to the outside. No one from the 76ers paid attention to him. .

This kind of disregard was simply a slap in the face to the Bulls. Brewer couldn't bear it and took open three-pointers several times. As a result, a series of bang-bang strikes made him feel heavy, and he quickly accepted the fact that he was useless.

Vujacic and Jrue Holiday performed well in this quarter, making 8 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line. The Bulls were completely unable to withstand it.

In the final quarter, with 4 minutes left in the game, the 76ers led 108 to 81 and the game entered garbage time.

Tom Thibodeau saw that the team had no hope of making a comeback, so he reluctantly replaced Rose, who was injured and had only rested for 5 minutes.

The 76ers came off the bench and still defeated the Bulls, maintaining their advantage until the end.

At the end, 116-85, the 76ers won another away game, and the total score was rewritten to 2-0.

76人全队共7人得分上双，加内特出战31分钟，得到13分14篮板7助攻2抢断2盖帽，是今晚球队取胜的重要功臣。

艾弗森发挥也很耀眼，15投8中，三分球4中2，罚球3中3，砍下21分4篮板6助攻3抢断，命中率超过50%。

伊戈达拉14分6篮板3助攻1盖帽、霍乐迪15分4助攻、武贾西奇16分2篮板，三人联手射爆了公牛外线。替补席上，小托马斯、佩贾-斯托亚科维奇、易建联等人也都有出色发挥。

On the Bulls side, Rose scored a game-high 25 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. He made 19 of 7 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, and 13 of 10 free throws. He risked half his life to get to the basket for free throws, but his teammates failed to live up to expectations. , only he and Luol Deng scored in double figures for the Bulls.

Luol Deng played 43 minutes, making 18 of 8 shots, 6 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 5 free throws, and scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists.The data looks pretty good, but his shortcomings in poor offense with the ball have been exposed. If Rose hadn't come back, there might have been a murder tonight.

Rose and Luol Deng were the only Bulls to score in double figures, with the rest of the players scoring in single digits.Among them, Noah was targeted from the beginning. He played 37 minutes and only scored 7 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. At first glance, it doesn't look too bad, but as an All-Star level championship center, this performance is obvious. Somewhat unsatisfactory.

Barkley commented on the game after the game: "The Bulls' offense was too poor tonight. Coach Thibodeau should reflect on the problems exposed by the team and whether his employment in the game is reasonable. Brewer played well tonight He played 26 minutes, but he made 6 of 0 shots on the offensive end, scored no points, and only scored 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Even the fans can see clearly where the problem lies, and he needs to deeply reflect on his shortcomings."

Ronnie Brewer was scolded so badly that even after the game, Bulls fans were yelling in the direction of the tunnel.Brewer's salary this year was 471 million. As a result, he successfully paid himself a minimum salary in this series.

In fact, Brewer's scoring level in his peak season was good, and he averaged 13.7 points per game in a single season with the Jazz.However, since a serious knee injury ended the season in 09, Brewer has only had a positive defensive attitude, and his offense has plummeted, losing the courage he once had.

At the press conference, a reporter interviewed Lu Yong and asked him to talk about the game.

Lu Yong is now fully confident of defeating the Bulls, so he no longer speaks as low-key as before. "I think the 76ers have what it takes to compete in the finals. The Bulls are very strong, but if there is only one winner, I think it will be us. Coach Thibodeau hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, but it doesn't matter, I will Use practical actions to tell him exactly what to do to win."

The reporters were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then their eyes widened. They didn't expect that it would be big news as soon as Lu Yong opened his mouth!

This arrogant attitude and tone are simply too familiar, but it is the first time Lu Yong has shown a high profile in front of the media since leaving the SuperSonics.

Lu Yong has no personal relationship with Thibodeau, and he will not be polite to the Bulls.

Leading the opponent with a big score of 2-0. At this time, the more arrogant Lu Yong is, the higher the morale of the 76ers will be. It doesn't matter if he is slapped in the face. Anyway, he did not say that he will definitely sweep the Bulls 4-0, as long as the final result is the 76ers. Promotion is a successful morale boost.

As for whether it will have a bad impact on Thibodeau, Lu Yong doesn't care.

Thibodeau's coaching style should have changed long ago, otherwise Rose would have to be scrapped like in his previous life.

To be fair, Thibodeau's coaching attitude is actually very good. He is a well-known workaholic and devotes almost all his time to basketball. He has no wife or children. Basketball is the only thing he loves. Apart from basketball, He really wouldn't do anything else.But coaching is actually the same as playing basketball. Talent is the most important thing compared to hard work and diligence.

Although Thibodeau works hard, his coaching level has been controversial. The biggest point is that he uses stars to death.

Among the superstars who were devastated by Thibodeau, Rose was definitely the worst. At that time, Rose returned from injury in the playoffs. The Bulls had ensured the victory at the last moment. However, for the sake of stability, Thibodeau still kept Rose who needed to adjust his condition. On the court, Rose suffered a torn cruciate ligament in garbage time and went downhill from then on.

Thibodeau was responsible for Rose's serious injury, but this was his usual style. He later let Jimmy Butler play the entire game more than once.And when the team was short of major players in the playoffs, he really used his main players to death without resting for a second.

This is the biggest difference between Thibodeau and those real famous coaches. As a comparison, Lu Yong, Popovich, and Nelson will all rest players at the right time, but Thibodeau never thinks so. In the end, it will harm people. And harm yourself.

In short, if someone like Thibodeau is unlucky, most people are happy to watch.

Thinking about his behavior of treating players as tools and doing whatever it takes to win, Lu Yong naturally doesn't feel guilty.

Another reporter asked: "In this game, you pushed Iguodala to the starting power forward position to deal with Boozer. What do you think?"

"I think he has the ability to serve as a power forward and can help the team win, that's all." Lu Yong said with a smile.

The reporter asked again: "What do you think is the key to the Bulls losing tonight?"

"It's coach Tom Thibodeau. His rigidity and stubbornness are hurting this team. Just as everyone can't figure out why Brewer stays on the court for a long time, to be honest, I also can't understand it." Lu Yong's death Tsukuru shrugged his shoulders easily and continued to crush the bull from the inside.

Lu Yong is playing a war of public opinion. Once these remarks are released, Thibodeau will really have mud in his crotch, whether it is shit or shit.

If Thibodeau loses the players' trust in him because of this, the 76ers' promotion path will definitely be smoother.

What is more unbreakable than the conspiracy must be the conspiracy. Lu Yong shows his cards. Only one of him and Thibodeau can have the last laugh, so there is no need to hold back.

Iguodala was interviewed. When asked how he felt about playing power forward in the playoffs, he smiled and said: "I don't know why I appeared at the power forward position, but I will carry out Lu's order unconditionally, even if he comes off the court." If the game asks me to play center, I will do my best to protect the backboards."

The next day, the media turned their attention to the 76ers. The number of experts who were optimistic about the Bulls' promotion was rapidly decreasing, and the slaps came faster than expected.

Some media even analyzed the possibility of the 76ers sweeping the Bulls 4-0. Because the Bulls lost two home games in a row, the situation was very unfavorable to them. Most people felt that the 76ers could advance.

In addition, Lu Yong's remarks about Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau are also rapidly fermenting.

According to Chicago media reports, some players within the Bulls have expressed dissatisfaction with Thibodeau, but there is no open conflict due to his iron-blooded military management skills, but everything confirms that the No. [-] Bull in the Eastern Conference is about to be deposed.

76ers fans were very happy after reading the news. With the right time, place and people, this series is [-]% safe.

Even those neutral fans whose home team was eliminated early feel that the 76ers are going to reach the finals in an upset, and Iverson is expected to realize his dream in the last season of his career.

In the third game, the 76ers returned to Philadelphia with a 2-0 advantage, taking the absolute initiative in the series.

The overwhelming public opinion from the outside world still had some impact on the Bulls. The shooting touch in the first quarter was poor, and it was all supported by Rose.

On the other hand, for the 76ers, Jrue Holiday, Vujacic, and Meeks, who came off the bench, all contributed fatal three-pointers to help the team establish their lead early.

Holiday scored 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and made 3 of 2 three-pointers. He felt hot.Although he failed to prevent Rose's breakthrough on the defensive end, he teamed up with Garnett to limit his offensive efficiency, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Bulls.

艾弗森单挑布鲁尔也有不俗表现，首节打了11分钟，得到7分2篮板2助攻1抢断。

33 to 22, the 76ers lead by 11 points.

Rose scored 8 points in a single quarter and performed well, but there was a problem with the team's defense. The players' enthusiasm was declining and they were gradually disintegrating from within.

In the second quarter, Rose took a break, and Luol Deng led the team to deal with the 76ers' second lineup.

Bulls backup point guard Lucas III became a surprise player. After his debut, he made 4 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 9 points in a row to help the Bulls bite the point difference.

Thanks to Yi Jianlian's timely stand-up and two successful singles against Ty Gibson with the ball in front of the frame, the morale of the army was stabilized.

In the second half, in order to strengthen defense, Thibodeau forced Lucas III, who was hot tonight, on the bench and reused Brewer and CJ Watson. The angry Bulls fans couldn't help but curse in front of the TV.

In the final quarter, the Bulls were unable to find a way to balance the offense and defense. Instead, Iverson led a 9-0 run to expand their advantage and seal the victory in advance.

Rose and Boozer were targeted by the 76ers when they played pick-and-rolls, and the Bulls' role players' shooting was fascinating. If Hamilton had not been injured, the series might have had another ending.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for the team coached by Thibodeau to avoid injuries. It seems that the 76ers are lucky, but in fact, the hidden dangers of injuries have been buried as early as the regular season, and they cannot blame others.

In the end, 109 to 86, the 76ers won again at home.

Big score, 3-0 to get the match point.

Yi Jianlian made up for all the missed shots in the first two games. He came off the bench for 27 minutes and made 8 of 7 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He efficiently scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 87.5. %.

76人5人得分上双，艾弗森19分3篮板5助攻、加内特16分9篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽。

霍乐迪17分5篮板2助攻1抢断、伊戈达拉12分7篮板5助攻2盖帽。
