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

Chapter 26 The league's first thousand-defeated coach stood up to beat Lu Yong?The Grizzlies started with a six-game winning streak!League number one!

After the start of the game, they beat their opponents in two consecutive games, and the morale of the Grizzlies was high.

A reporter conducted random interviews with the Grizzlies players after the game. Mike Miller, who performed well tonight, laughed and said: "I am playing very comfortably in the new season. Coach Lu is a real genius. He will let the players play according to their habits. The way he plays, I've never seen a coach like him."

The starting rookie Ariza also praised Lu Yong in an interview: "I am very grateful to the coach for his trust in me. Without his encouragement, I would not be able to get the chance to start. The Grizzlies are a very good team and I like it very much. "

Fratello has also been in a good mood in the past few days. Facing the camera, he said with a smile on his face: "The good start of the team is the result of the joint efforts of all the coaching staff. Lu and Tony, who joined the team in the off-season Both are very capable, and they gave a lot of advice on offensive and defensive tactics."

Fratello didn't want to put all the credit on Lu Yong alone in front of the media. It would only make him look naive as the head coach, so he even boasted with Tony Brown.

The next day, Lu Yong's name was again named and reported by the Memphis media.

Everyone knows the offensive level of the Grizzlies last season. Lu Yong, as the chief assistant who just joined the Grizzlies coaching staff in the summer, was praised by the famous coach George Karl in the preseason, which is enough to prove that he is good at arranging offensive tactics. talent.

If Fratello dared to say in front of the media that the Grizzlies' offensive improvement in the new season is due to him, without Lu Yong's advice behind it, the fans would definitely spit shit out of him.

Fratello, who is an old fox, is aware of this, so he praised his teaching assistant team without hesitation in the interview, and did not dare to take all the credit for himself.

As long as he doesn't mention his contribution to the teaching assistant team, the outside public opinion will not be as calm as it is now.

"The talented assistant coach came to Memphis, and the offensive firepower of the Grizzlies in the new season is all thanks to him!"

"The Chinese assistant coach showed his offensive talent and helped the Grizzlies become the most powerful offensive team in the league!"

"What is the magic of the young Asian coach of the Grizzlies? He has amazing talent and is the top talent in the NCAA?"

Watching the news reports on the Internet that were crazily speculating about him, Lu Yong smiled while sitting in his office.

He once led the Grizzlies to the championship in the summer league, however, the outside world's coverage of him is not as good as the two victories in the regular season.

The attention paid to the NBA regular season is not comparable to that of the summer league. It is necessary to be famous as early as possible. Lu Yong can't wait to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, turn his identity as an assistant coach, and take control of a team that belongs to him as soon as possible. .

To his surprise, former NBA coach Bill Fitch also praised him in an interview.

It is believed that it was Lu Yong who brought the Grizzlies' offense this season.

Originally, Lu Yong was still puzzled by Bill Fitch boasting about himself in public.

After all, Bill Fitch was the famous godfather of basketball in the 7s and 80s. As of 2006, Fitch's 944 wins still ranked fifth in the history of NBA coaches.

It wasn't until Tony Brown reminded him that he suddenly realized.

Because Bill Fitch, like him, was also a coach who came out of the NCAA. Before entering the professional league coaching, he had coached at the University of Minnesota, Bowling Green State University, the University of North Dakota and his alma mater, Coy College. Pass.

During his coaching period, Bill Fitch also led the team to the NCAA championship twice. He is the most successful coach in his career after entering the professional league from the NCAA.

Although Bill Fitch is the first "coach with a thousand defeats" in NBA history, he has been ridiculed by fans in later generations.

But in fact, Fitch, who won the best coach twice in his coaching career, reached the finals three times and won the championship once, is not a bad coach.

It's just that he has led five teams in the 25 seasons of his coaching career, and every team was a bad team before he took over.

But even so, Fitch brought all five of these bad teams into the playoffs within a few years. The most favorable proof is that the winning percentage of the playoffs exceeds 50%.

Both Fitch and Lu Yong are labeled as "academic coaches" who have entered the professional league from college. He has no reason to extend his hand to Lu Yong after he has retired for nearly ten years, but he doesn't mind speaking out in front of the media.

Most importantly, Bill Fitch thinks he's telling the truth.

Without the joining of Lu Yong, the Grizzlies would never be able to play such a smooth offense in the new season. This is a fact that even "Bantam" Fratello has to admit.

The next day, the Grizzlies beat the Portland Trail Blazers 112-95 at home.

Pau Gasol felt hot, played 31 minutes, made 16 of 11 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, scored 27 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, blowing up the Blazers starting center Pulzbilla.

The Grizzlies scored in double figures with six players and played a wonderful teamwork.

Mike Miller's performance is still brave, the data of 18 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists is not amazing, but the audience made 6 three-pointers to shine the arena, and the outside shooting rate is as high as 60%.

首轮8号秀鲁迪-盖伊今晚获得了14分钟的出场机会，6投3中，三分球2中1，得到7分2篮板。

Fratello obviously doesn't pay enough attention to this group of rookies, but fortunately, he will get some playing time during garbage time, which is better than playing under the devil of Larry Brown.

On November 11, the Grizzlies beat the Eagles 4-110 away.

"Eagle King" Joe Johnson suffered a wrist contusion in the last game against the Nets. Tonight, he was entangled in Ariza's candy-style defense and misfired the offense.

全场打了36分钟，18投仅5中，只得到12分4篮板3助攻，投篮命中率不足30%。

The Eagles were able to drag the suspense of the game to the final quarter because of the explosion of the second master, Josh Smith, who beat Swift one-on-one. Beat Swift to six fouls.

Regrettably, the overall offensive efficiency of the Eagles today is too bad. The Grizzlies, who are both offensive and defensive, withstood the counterattack.

This victory over the Eagles was the Grizzlies' worst win of the season, only beating their opponent by 10 points.

In the next two games, the Grizzlies defeated the Bucks and the Celtics, the underdogs in the East, with a score difference of more than 10 points. They played very easily.

With 6 wins and 0 losses in the start, the Grizzlies tied the team's winning streak in the new season.

As long as they win another game, they can break the record of team history.

There are too few historical records of the Grizzlies that joined the league in 1995. Many records are unbearable to the fans. Even if the team history is named, there is nothing to be excited about.

The Grizzlies management couldn't believe it, the team's combat effectiveness this season is simply too fierce!

He ranked first in the league with all six victories, and also rose from 16th to second in the latest combat power rankings released by ESPN.

Second only to the Mavericks, who played one less game with 5 wins and 0 losses, pinched their waists with both hands and raised their eyebrows fiercely.
