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

Chapter 97 Big win by 41 points!Comparable to the pinnacle of the Spurs!Lu Yong: This question is very good, don’t ask it next time

Frank wasn't a great coach, but he wasn't stupid.

Seeing that White was terribly blasted by Bunch Wells, he immediately replaced the substitute swingman Trenton Hassell and replaced Antoine White to strengthen the speed of the second position.

Lu Yong did not make a substitution, but stood on the sidelines and yelled loudly. "Let go of Trenton, shrink the lineup, defend the mid-range and the basket."

The players nodded, and the defensive formation immediately shrank to the penalty area.

Only Durant stood close to Carter at the top of the arc to prevent him from getting an open jumper.

Trenton Hassell is a 30-year-old veteran who played for the Timberwolves in his prime and is a fierce defensive player.

However, his role can only be reflected in defense, and his offensive efficiency is extremely poor. He made 20% of his three-pointers this season, averaged 12 minutes per game, and only scored 1.8 points.

Frank sent him on the field to limit Bunch Wells, and the negative effect was equally obvious. The offense was four-on-five, and it was difficult to wait for surprises from Hassell.

In the positional battle, Carter faced Durant in a singles with the ball. After a feint, he took a step inside and shot a two-point jumper.

The Nets lacking Richard Jefferson are probably the team with the worst offensive firepower in the league. Jefferson scored 22.6 points this season, leading the team in scoring, and his efficiency is more stable than Carter.

The defensive style of the Supersonic shrinking formation made it impossible for the Nets to get in. Carter could only float outside for a jumper when he caught the ball. He was the only star that the Nets could count on in positional battles.

Durant stretched out his long arm to interfere slightly, the ball bounced out of the basket, and the backcourt rebound was grabbed by Noah.

The Supersonics failed to play a fast break this round, and the Nets retreated faster and could only fall into position.

Durant took the initiative to reach out for the ball after halftime, and singled out Carter one-on-one to pose a three-threat.

Continuous dribbling under the crotch at the top of the arc, changing direction in front of the body, walking to the left, breaking through and throwing away close to the body, making a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop, whoa. 9 to 2.

In addition to being young and fast, Durant's biggest advantage against Carter is his height and long arms.

Carter's height of 1 meters is already very reluctant to play as a small forward, and Durant basically can't cover the ball in frontal defense.

In his peak period, he might be able to make up for the gap through bullet speed and jumping ability, but his knees have been scarred for many years, and his bullet speed is far less than half of his peak period.

In Lu Yong's previous life, Durant's two-pointer true shooting percentage was among the top three in history, and he was the only one among all the stars who averaged more than 20 points per game.

In his rookie season, Durant couldn't reach this height, but he has a good grasp of mid-range jump shots. Carter, who is half a head shorter than himself, is a random kill when he pulls up.

The Nets' winning this season depends entirely on defense. In the next period of time, this offensively constipated team performed an iron show for the home fans.

When Trenton Hassel was completely emptied outside the three-point line, the Nets, who had no room to score, became more crowded.

Both Kidd and Carter frequently missed the basket with jumpers, and only power forward Josh Boone hit two mid-range shots. The key was not to quench his thirst.

On the Supersonic side, when Bunch Wells was strictly guarded, Durant and Delonte West stood up again.

Receive the ball through the screen, pull up and shoot three-pointers. The shooting rate is not high, but the Nets played even worse, always occupying the lead in the score.

Delfino, who came off the bench, had a great time tonight. When the Nets' perimeter defense was attracted by Durant and his brothers, he got open shots many times after he came on the court.

With his steady three-point shooting, Delfino hit three three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 4 points, 9 rebound and 1 steal in just 1 and a half minutes.

In terms of defense, he also limited White's scoring very well. He successfully interfered with White's jumper after several defensive throws.

The Sonics' offense is multi-point blooming. A large number of ball transfers and pick-and-rolls are comparable to the peak Spurs. No matter who defends, they dare to shoot when they receive a pass. Even role players are full of confidence.

After the first quarter, the Sonics led 32 to 19.

In the second quarter, Wilcox and PJ-Tucker formed the inside line, with Bunch Wells, Delfino and Ramon Sessions on the outside.

The mobility of this lineup is outrageous, and all five players can play fast break counterattacks.

A backcourt organizer brought two 3D+ two beasts, and the visual impact was directly full.

As soon as the Sonics got a rebound in the backcourt, the team immediately went on a fast break.

When Wilcox and Wells rushed to the basket from left to right, all the Nets could do was foul and destroy the Sonics' fast break by pulling people.

As long as the hands are slower, there is a risk of being hit by the Sonics with five best shots.

In the positional battle, Wilcox pulled out the pick-and-roll, and Sessions broke through and scored the ball to find space and cut down the beast, and he could also break out to find a shooter to shoot a three-pointer.

And the starting lineup with Noah holding the ball in the middle and playing high post to support the offensive system are completely two kinds of threats.

The second lineup that Lu Yong formed after adjusting his thinking has achieved excellent results, that is, the personal abilities of these five players are limited, otherwise this set of play will be enough for weak teams against the starting lineup.

Nets backup center Desarguena-Diop is 2 meters tall and weighs 13 kilograms. His slow moving speed is like delivering food to the Supersonics. The Sonics seized the opportunity to target wildly, and directly blasted a wave of 136 to 11.

The brightest moment of Diop's career was being able to withstand O'Neal, but as the era dominated by the "big shark" became a thing of the past, his cumbersome blue-collar insider is coming to the end of his career.

When the league issues the "Hibert Vertical Jump Rule", it will be the time for the blue-collar insider to retire.

In the second half, the Sonics continued to shrink their formation.

Strictly guard against the Nets' mid-range shots and breakthroughs, and let the role players float outside to make jump shots.

The lack of offensive firepower made it difficult for the Nets to chase points when they fell behind. As Delfino continued to explode in the third quarter, he made 4 of 3 three-pointers and scored 11 points in a single quarter. The game also completely lost suspense.

At the end, 125 to 84, the Sonics won by 41 points away.

德尔菲诺全场打了27分钟，11投7中，三分球8投6中，砍下20分4篮板1助攻2抢断，三分球命中数创了生涯单场新高。

The core guard Bunch Wells also exploded, making 12 of 8 shots, 1 of 0 three-pointers, 7 of 5 free throws, contributing 21 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His shooting percentage was as high as 66.6%. .

杜兰特17投8中，三分球6中2，罚球1中1，得到19分4篮板2助攻1盖帽。

篮网得分最多的是文斯-卡特，19投7中，三分球4中0，罚球4中3，交出17分6篮板4助攻，投命中率36.8%。

基德12投4中，三分球5中1，罚球3中2，得到11分7篮板8助攻2抢断，准三双的数据看似不错，其实没有什么卵用。

The supersonics also won the battle of the role players in garbage time in the final quarter.

PJ-塔克三分球5投3中，得到9分4篮板2助攻、威尔考克斯15分7篮板1封盖、塞申斯13分2篮板6助攻，都有不俗表现。

For the Sonics, even Collison, who has almost no playing time on weekdays, scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, and all players who played scored.

Seattle commentator Knight commented: "After this game, those media who questioned the Supersonics overturning and falling behind at the end of the season can all shut up. A team composed of newcomers will inevitably have ups and downs in status, but as Lu Shuai previously interviewed As he said at the time, he believes that the players will adjust well and the team will definitely make it to the playoffs this year."

Baston said with a smile: "The reason for the Supersonic's 5 games and 3 losses is that the devil's schedule is too strong. Taking the Nets allowed them to regain their four-game winning streak. The team is developing in a better direction. Most importantly, this In the first game, Lu Shuai let the fans see the depth of the Sonics' terrifying lineup. Substitute players can always make contributions. New aid Delfino scored 20 points and set a career high for the Sonics. He seems to have fully integrated into the team system and started to play. own value."

At the press conference after the game, before answering questions, Lu Yong praised the performance of the players tonight.

"In this game, I want to focus on my players. They perfectly executed the tactics assigned by the coaching staff on the field. They were very dynamic on both ends of the offense and defense. They seized every opportunity to convert into points. I think this is a very great thing. " Lu Yong said with his hands crossed on the table. "As for the new aid Carlos Delfino also proved himself, scoring 6 goals in a single game, I am happy for him, because those who questioned him can finally shut up."

The reporter asked: "Some people questioned that the Sonic's offense looks gorgeous, but in fact it can only play a dozen regular season games. It will definitely not go far in the playoffs. What do you think of this statement?"

Lu Yong said with a smile: "In fact, I can see similar messages every day when I browse social media. I have never been too lazy to reply to this kind of statement. Because they also questioned me last season, thinking that the Grizzlies could not win the championship. , but in the end we broke all doubts. Now they doubt that the Sonics' offense can't make the playoffs, I can only say that the facts will prove everything."

The reporter asked again: "What kind of results do you think the Sonics can achieve this year? Can they enter the playoffs with the top three in the division?"

"That's a good question, don't ask it next time."

Ghost knows what kind of results the Sonics can achieve this year. Lu Yong is driving the perspective of God, but he is not God.

The fact that the Sonics were able to stabilize the top three in the Western Conference after half of the regular season does not mean that the final ranking will still be the same. He doesn't want to predict such boring things, and he doesn't want to be slapped in the face by talking big.

What Lu Yong can do is to do his best to instill a winning culture in this young team and build confidence for rookie players.

As for how far the playoffs can go, after all, it depends on the performance of the players.

After a wave of consecutive victories, Lu Yong's mood also relaxed.

The Supersonic's opponents in the next few games are full of fish, so Lu Yong doesn't have to worry about losing streak.

Just lead the team to go all out and strive to accumulate more regular season wins on the underdogs.
