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

Chapter 131 Never underestimate the combative heart of the veteran!Scott: Convinced.
Sitting on the sidelines, Scott was stunned. Before the game, he thought about many scenarios that caused the team to fall behind, but he didn't expect that the two veterans who had suffered serious injuries would be the only ones who would explode in the Supersonics.

The fast-break cooperation between Francis and Bunch-Wells reminded him of the street players who played in Rock Park. Not only could they score, but they also played fancy moves one by one.

The Hornets attacked, Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, and used the pick-and-roll to break through from the right, attracting Szczerbiak to double-team and pass the ball to David West, who received the ball on the left side of the free throw line and scored an open jumper. 9 to 6.

Francis still used his body to force Paul in the next round. As a result, he was disturbed by small movements when laying up with his left hand and missed the first goal of the night.

In the positional battle, Paul broke through and was double-teamed again. He gave the ball to Butler and missed a three-pointer. The rebound was protected by Gasol Jr.

After landing, Gasol immediately played the ball forward, and the Supersonics counterattacked.

Francis moved without the ball and bumped into Paul, created space to catch the ball, and made a one-handed dunk under the basket with a one-handed dunk.

"boom!"

11:6.

Byron Scott couldn't sit still, and hurriedly requested a timeout after scoring this counterattack.

Francis went crazy tonight. The Hornets are obviously unable to defend, and their offensive efficiency is not stable enough. If this fight continues, they will definitely lose.

Peterson can defend but the offense is too poor. If he stays on the court, he is an excellent target for being emptied by the Sonics. He suffers from 4v5 on the offensive end.

In Lu Yong's previous life, the most famous thing about this guy was not on the court, but after he retired, he was sued by a female teacher of a private school on the charge that Peterson intentionally infected her with herpes.

The 26-year-old female teacher named Daphne Shalemaine also used to work as a model, for which she hopes to obtain $150 million in financial compensation from Peterson.

During the timeout, Scott replaced Peterson, who was in poor form, and took the backup small forward James Posey ahead of schedule, a veteran who just won the championship with the Celtics last year.

Lu Yong did not make substitutions, but emphasized the offense to the players.

James Posey's fixed-point shooting is good, but his offensive ability with the ball is not strong. The Sonics don't need to change their defensive strategy.

The game continued, Paul frequently broke through the pick-and-roll to attract double-teams, distributed the ball to the outside assists teammates and hit two shots.James Posey, who was replaced on the field, performed well. He hit a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle from the left, and scored two points from the center. The effect was much greater than that of Peterson.

However, the Supersonic's offense is even more fierce. The two breakthrough masters on the back line and the three high-position fortresses on the front line directly fill up the firepower.

On the last attack of the first quarter, Francis beat the time and forced Paul, stopped in the middle distance on the left to open up space, turned over and made a jumper and hit the rebound.

Counting this jumper at the buzzer, Francis made 8 of 5 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 0 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, scoring the highest score in the game.

杜兰特出手不多，4投2中，罚球2中2，拿下6分2篮板1助攻，命中率50%。

Another veteran Bunche Wells played for 9 minutes, staged dunks on two fast-break counterattacks, and an air-cut layup in a positional battle. He scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. He performed well.

37 to 28, the Sonics lead by 9 points.

黄蜂表现最好的是球星保罗，7投3中，拿下7分1篮板4助攻，命中率42.8%。

In the second quarter, Lu Yong sent an outside combination of Dragic, Neal, and Delfino, with Teletovic and Landry on the inside.

There are four three-pointers and an inside fast-break engine on the field, and the space and mobility are ridiculously strong.

Landry's positional battle was pulled out to pick and roll for his teammates, and after the screen, he made an air cut to the basket. The job was simple but he played extremely tough.

No player on the Hornets bench scored in double digits per game. They won the game thanks to defense. Their offensive firepower was weak, and they were overwhelmed by the Supersonics all the way.

Paul only rested for 4 minutes before returning to the court. He had to come back early. The Hornets didn't even have a guard who could control the field. The most assists per game was Daniels' 2.1. His organization was poor.

To make matters worse, Paul returned to the court early and still couldn't lead the team to narrow the point difference. When the main players of the Supersonics returned, the Hornets couldn't stand it soon.

Scott is a coach who emphasizes defense and the team relies on point guards to solve problems on their own. This is very similar to Fratello's coaching style. If you leave the star, you will not coach. The little ink in your stomach is not enough to lead a civilian team. The team gets stronger.

In order to strengthen the defense of the penalty area, the Hornets once had Tyson Chandler and blue-collar power forward Hilton Armstrong present together in the second half, and arranged for David West to play small forward to match Durant.

As you can imagine, the Hornets' defense in the penalty area has indeed become stronger, and the efficiency of the three big men's frame protection has risen sharply, but the price paid is that their mobility and ability to prevent pick-and-rolls are terrible. Offensive counterattack and three-point rain were taken away.

Paul was targeted by the Sonics tonight for his low scoring efficiency, and several of his shots were strong shots against the defender.

On the other hand, Francis, who has unlimited shooting rights for the Sonics, played much more easily. His outside teammates felt good. He didn't have to worry about double-teaming when he broke through with the ball.

With 7 minutes left in the final quarter, the Sonics led 114 to 82, and the game entered garbage time early.

弗朗西斯被替换下场，出战33分钟，19投11中，三分球3中1，罚球9中7，砍下30分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽，让球迷从他身上看到了巅峰弗老大的影子。

保罗下场时精神状态萎靡，17投仅6中，三分球2中0，罚球4中4，得到16分4篮板9助攻2抢断，命中率35.3%。

Paul sent the most 9 assists in the game to connect his teammates, but the team still lost and was suppressed by the Supersonics throughout the game, unable to fight back.

Barkley commented on the game and said: "Boss Fernando dreams of returning to the top tonight. The last time he scored 30 points dates back to the 05-06 season. This is a game that is more commemorative than the data itself. Don't underestimate the combative heart of the veteran."

Kenny Smith said: "The Sonics' offensive firepower is too strong. Whether it is a counterattack or a three-pointer, it is extremely threatening. Even the role players on the bench can make great contributions. This is a ball for all people. Team, everyone can be the protagonist. If the Sonics can continue this state in the playoffs, I believe the championship must belong to them.”

At the end, 127 to 92, the Sonics beat the Hornets at home.

A total of 7 players in the team scored in double figures, and it was another game with many points on the offensive end.

Scott shook hands with Lu Yong after the game, but he didn't speak. His expression looked a bit embarrassed, and he was completely defeated tonight.

　Sorry for the late update, brothers, here is the third update.

　　In the evening, I went to my mother-in-law’s house to give gifts. I was drunk by the old man. I just vomited and sobered up. I remembered that I still owe a chapter to my book friends. I hurriedly got up in the middle of the night to update. I can’t break my promise. The book focuses on sincerity.

　　The update is a bit late, I tried my best, I have to go to bed quickly, I have to get up early tomorrow, and go to the countryside to see the old man.

　　The holidays will not delay the update, but there is a high probability that I will come back to write in the afternoon.

　　Finally, ask for a monthly ticket, please support me.
