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

Chapter 27 The only undefeated team in the league!Supersonic general manager Presti with ideas!
The Grizzlies' starting strength is not much different from last season, mainly in the depth of the rotation.

When there are more players available on the bench, facing different teams, the Grizzlies can use targeted lineups at different points in time.

Although Reggie Evans on the bench is a little short, he has an excellent ability to protect rebounds.

It can also withstand the opponent's back-up singles with the strength of its lower body, perfectly sharing the pressure of the head star Pau Gasol's frame protection.

On the offensive end, Eddie Jones, Warrick, and Terrence Kinsey can also contribute.

In the second quarter, it is easy to play a wave of offensive to establish the victory, and the lineup is deep and strong.

Lu Yong didn't expect that he just integrated the superficial style of play of the small ball era into the offensive system, and this young and talented Grizzlies could be strong enough for this.

Unfortunately, young players such as Rudy Gay, Lowry, and Barea get too little playing time, averaging less than 10 minutes per game.

Only when the main players clock out of get off work in three quarters can they get a chance to play in the garbage time of the final quarter.

The stubbornness engraved in Fratello's bones cannot be changed with a few words.

Seeing this group of talented young people sitting off the field and managing the drinking fountains, Lu Yong could only complain silently about Fratello's "venomous vision", and his on-the-spot adaptability was simply too weak.

On the 10th, when the media turned their attention to the league's first throne, the Mavericks, who started with 5 wins and 0 losses, took the lead in losing.

They narrowly lost to the Lakers 106 to 111 away.

科比25投12中，三分球7中3，罚球10中8，高效狂砍35分6篮板5助攻3抢断，率领球队终结了小牛队的连胜。

Indirectness helped the Grizzlies become the only undefeated team in the league.

Since being swept out by the Mavericks 4-0 in the first round of last year's playoffs, Fratello, who is currently flustered, has long wanted to fight the Mavericks head-on, and suddenly feels that he can do it again.

When he learned from the video department that the Mavericks had lost, the guy sighed shamelessly, feeling that the Mavericks' first loss of the season did not fall to the Grizzlies.

Standing behind him, Lu Yong looked at his slack face, wishing he could go up and give him a kick, it was so pretentious
If he hadn't insisted on taking Eddie Jones in the final quarter of the "nearly victory" against the Eagles and replaced Mike Miller, who was not feeling well, the Grizzlies' winning streak in the new season might have ended long ago.

小牛本赛季一共有五名球员得分上双，当家球星诺维斯基场均轰下26分9篮板4助攻1抢断，投篮命中率超过50%。进攻效率惊人。

Even if Lu Yong led the team and met this Mavericks, they would not dare to say that they would win. I really don't know who gave Fratello the courage. He completely forgot the embarrassment of being swept out in the first round of last year's playoffs.

What Lu Yong didn't expect was that the Lakers, who started with 3 wins and 3 losses, defeated the Mavericks, the second-ranked Mavericks in the Western Conference, at home.

The offensive level of Kobe Bryant really cannot be deduced by common sense. In the last game against the Western Timberwolves, he made 23 of 7 shots and led his team to a disastrous defeat. In the next game, he overturned the Mavericks, a strong Western team. The ups and downs of life are true. Fucking thrill.

The next morning, the Grizzlies flew to Seattle to challenge the Sonics.

Lu Yong shared the "imaginary tactics" he had pondered during the offseason on the plane.

I hope that Fratello can increase the cross-screening on the weak side in the next game, and Pau Gasol's high-post support to ensure that the Grizzlies can play a smoother offense.

This set of offensive tactics Lu Yong borrowed from the style of play of the later Warriors. "Dream Chaser" Green stood at the top of the arc to deal cards, and the weak side Rooney pulled out to cross screens to create better shooting space for the Splash Brothers.

Although the starting lineup of the Grizzlies is not suitable for this style of play, Lu Yong did not copy it completely, but integrated his own philosophy to make this offensive system more suitable for the team.

Paul Gasol's advantage is that in addition to being able to stand at the top of the arc to deal cards like Green, he also has a stronger offensive ability with the ball than Green.

He can not only shoot jump shots from the free throw line, but also play one-on-one singles at high positions, giving full play to his advantages as an inside star.

At first, Fratello, who had tasted the sweetness of the winning streak, heard 1 disagreements about the "refined offense".

He thinks that the team is playing very well now, and it is too risky to change rashly, which does not fit his character of seeking stability.

However, when Lu Yong unceremoniously pointed out that all teams in the league are now starting to study the Grizzlies, Fratello panicked.

In the end, he was moved by Lu Yong's sound analysis, and decided to hand over the optimization of the offense to Lu Yong, and he, the pig-headed coach, was in charge of commanding.

It was really not easy to convince Fratello. Lu Yong drank two glasses of water from the beginning to the end to convince this guy that the simple tactical coordination of the Grizzlies' positional warfare will be cracked by the opponent in a short time. Higher defensive strategy.

The regular season is a long marathon. During the half-year competition system, if you don't make progress, you will be beaten.

Lu Yong doesn't want to sit in the position of assistant coach for too long. Only when the Grizzlies make impressive changes this season can he get closer to the position of head coach and become a man with options in the offseason.

After the plane landed, everyone checked into the hotel booked in advance.

The Sonics have been completely shattered this season. The team currently has a record of 1 win and 4 losses, ranking first in the West.

Fratello obviously didn't pay attention to the Sonics' big team. He arrived a day early and didn't even bother to analyze the tactics, so he simply took a vacation for the whole team.

The Supersonics, which has two stars, Ray Allen and Lewis, were still a strong team with the third record in the Western Conference two seasons ago.

The playoffs went all the way to the Western Conference semifinals to challenge the Spurs. The two sides fought six games before losing unfortunately.

As a result, the Sonics have been going downhill since last year, from missing the playoffs to being reduced to a rebuilding team. The speed of decline is embarrassing.

The city of Seattle later became one of the most famous tourist cities in the world. It is located on the Pacific coast in the northwest of Washington State, between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Olympic Mountains in the west and Lake Washington in the east. pleasant.

Unfortunately, the city has lost its only NBA team since 2008. The Sonics moved to Oklahoma and the team changed its name to the Thunder.

Only the video of the game against the Bulls in the finals that year can remind fans that this is a city with historical heritage.

超音速的领军球星是有着“君子雷”之称的雷阿伦，他身高1米96、体重93公斤，上赛季场均25.1分4.3篮板3.7助攻1.3次抢断。

He is a "false shooter" player who is good at shooting suddenly. He is not a black hole on the defensive end and has excellent conditions in all aspects, but he cannot lead the team to win.

At this time, in the office of the general manager of the Supersonics, the newly appointed Sam Presti was staring at the computer excitedly.

Naturally, he would not watch the film under the camera during working hours. He was excited because the team's home tickets were sold out in advance.

This is the first time since he became the general manager of the team last year, he has sold out all the home tickets. Today is definitely a day worth remembering.

In addition to the computer screen showing ticket sales records in the background, there is also a paper information report on the desk. The personal information on it is Lu Yong, the Grizzlies assistant coach who has been in the limelight recently.

After flipping through it several times from beginning to end, Presti suddenly leaned on the seat wearily, and shouted out the door. "Salin, accompany me to watch a match tomorrow night, remember to bring a gift, the kind that the Disciplinary Inspection Department can't find out."
