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

Entering the final quarter, both sides sent substitutes to compete.

Lu Yong was very bold in employing personnel. He made many formation changes based on Stevens' adjustments, firmly suppressing the young coach.

Stevens rested Tatum and Hayward, deployed Theis and Monroe on the inside, and Irving, Brown, and Morris on the outside.

The Celtics lineup has both shooting and height. The big man can hit the mid-range shot after picking and rolling. Irving is responsible for holding the ball and attacking, combining sudden points. It is a good rotation lineup.

It's a pity that Stevens' employer was controlled by Lu Yong.

Seeing that the young coach had set up the twin towers inside, Lu Yong directly set up a small lineup with Russell and Dinwiddie as double guards, Joe Harris and LeVert at the front, and Lopez at the center.

With four small ones and one big one, positional combat does not affect the protection of the frame, but it can also speed up counterattacks.

The Nets' lineup not only maintains the height of the penalty area, but also has four efficient top shooters, which has a great advantage against Theis + Monroe's inside line.

On the defensive end, Lu Yong arranged for man-to-man marking, with Lopez guarding the basket. Even if the 1-meter LeVert guest-starred as a power forward, it did not become a defensive vulnerability.

Because Monroe has entered the twilight of his career, he is not good at attacking inside and relies on jump shots after pick-and-rolls, with average efficiency.

The Nets' offense is completely open in this quarter. Dinwiddie can hold the ball and shoot one-on-one, and Russell and Lopez can also play pick-and-rolls in the middle.

Theis couldn't guard against Luo's low singles, and after switching defenses, he couldn't stop Russell's breakthrough, and was beaten to a pulp.

Dinwiddie also got good shooting opportunities from the outside. Although he has not yet reached his peak, he is still very confident in catching and shooting.

Stevens replaced the main force, and the Nets had extended their lead to 20 points.

Irving, Hayward, and Horford played together, trying to use the last time to narrow the point difference.

Lu Yong replaced Harris and Dinwiddie, and Mitchell and Millsap returned, not giving the Celtics a chance to take advantage.

With Millsap and Luo inside, the Nets' defense in the penalty area was directly full, forcing the Celtics to float outside and shoot jumpers.

In the second half of the quarter, Russell took a rest, and Dinwiddie came up to continue playing. He dribbled the ball to Mitchell after half-court to start the attack, and pressed the time to achieve success.

Mitchell scored 9 points in the final quarter. The most exciting goal was to dunk into Brown after stealing the ball. His jumping ability, speed and explosiveness were all top-notch.

In the last four minutes, the Nets took the lead in replacing all the main players.

Stevens had a bit of unwillingness on his face, but after a minute, he replaced the main players and the game entered garbage time.

At the end, 109 to 93, the Nets defeated the Celtics and got a good start to the season.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the home fans stood up and shouted, giving the players their warmest applause.

The Nets have been in decline for too many years. This year, Lu Yong finally succeeded in counterattacking after being coached. This made the fans extremely excited and cohesive.

A total of 7 Nets players scored in double figures in this game, and the two best performers were Russell and Mitchell.

拉塞尔22分5篮板7助攻1抢断，三分球8投4中，米切尔21分3篮板4助攻2抢断，交出了近乎完美的生涯首秀。

护框大闸洛佩兹也有12分8篮板3盖帽进账，仅出场26分钟，7投5中，三分4中2，两分球命中率百分之百。

Other Nets role players also scored and contributed a lot.

For example, LeVert has 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. As long as he is on the court, he is responsible for marking the opponent's offensive knife. The actual effect is more obvious than the data.

凯尔特人只有4人得分上双，欧文被疯狂包夹效率不高，18投7中，三分5中1，罚球4中4，得到19分4篮板6助攻。

霍福德14投7中，三分3中1，罚球2中2，得到17分8篮板3助攻1盖帽，是绿军效率最高的。

Hayward and Jaylen Brown also scored in double figures, scoring 14 and 11 points respectively.

Tatum went undercover in the first game and played 32 minutes. He made 14 of 3 shots, 4 of 0 three-pointers, and 3 of 2 free throws. He only scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, and had a team-high 5 turnovers.

At the press conference, Lu Yong commented on the game with a smile: "I am very happy that the Nets did not disappoint me. Everyone played at a very good competitive level. They are young and energetic, and even the veterans in the team are rejuvenated. Defeating the Kailash The Celtics are just the beginning, this season the Nets will use practical actions to prove that youth is capital."

The reporters were not surprised at all when this kind of answer came from Lu Yong's mouth.

He has always been like this for so many years, using the most arrogant tone to say the most embarrassing things.

But Lu Yong is really capable. Those who once questioned him were beaten in the face in the end.

Even experts dare not evaluate this Nets easily. They can only take one step at a time. Before the Nets showed decline, there were almost no negative comments on the Internet.

After all, all the teams coached by Lu Yong have won the championship. Once is luck, twice is luck, but three times can't be luck, right?

Irving suddenly regrets it now. He feels that joining the Celtics to pursue the boss position is a stupid thing. Why didn't he take the initiative to contact Lu Yong in the summer to see if there was a chance to join the Nets?
  The Nets have no top stars, and their salary space was very healthy before signing Millsap. If he is willing to put down his face, he might be a member of Brooklyn by now.

The Celtics' lineup looks tough on paper, but with an unconvinced Tatum behind them all day long, Irving, the team leader, feels a little suffocated.

Ou Shenxian has a premonition that he will not play for the Celtics for too long. With the growth of Tatum and Brown, he will have to leave Boston sooner or later.

When the Nets players were interviewed, they still said the same thing, thanking the coach, the fans, and the teammates around them, with genuine smiles on their faces.

The victory over the Celtics in the opening game not only made the atmosphere in the Nets' locker room more united, but also made the young players more confident.

Even the Celtics of the Big Three have lost. How many teams in the East can pose a threat to the Nets?

Although a regular season game means nothing, winning in the opening game is a good thing. A good start can always bring a good mood to people.

The next day, the news that the Nets defeated the Celtics in their first game made headlines.

Online fans all praised the Nets, but also questioned and ridiculed Irving.

Irving resolutely submitted a trade application to the Cavaliers management in the summer. He did not want to stay with James and be the second player. He was eager to prove himself as a star player.

One person's light always covers another person who wants to shine. If this person wants to shine, he must kill another person who is brighter than him.

But no matter how hard I try, Irving can't beat James, and he keeps teaching me how to play. Irving, who has a strong heart, can only leave.

Irving made the right choice, but the mistake was that he seriously overestimated his ability to lead the team. After joining the Celtics in the summer, he deeply understood that being the boss is not that easy, especially when Kai Zi and Tatum, a little red guy, were crazy about him. Irving was not happy at all from the beginning of the preseason.

Now that the Celtics lost the first game, he, the nominal boss, naturally bore the brunt and was almost sprayed into shit by Boston fans.

Although Irving took all the responsibility for the loss on himself at the press conference, the rumors surrounding him continued.

The most tiring thing is that Irving not only has to face doubts and ridicule from fans, but the team also has to withstand the targets and challenges of young players.

Lu Yong glances at the Celtics because the Green Army's lineup is too complete and there are strong players in every position. But he has never regarded the Celtics as a stumbling block, because Irving is really not good as the boss.

The most suitable position for him is that of second-in-command. The Celtics, who cannot resolve the conflicts within the team, are destined to have no championship this year.

Also targeted by fans was the Knicks, who lost to their old rivals the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-112 in their first game.

Anthony's performance was relatively stable in the first three quarters, but he missed key shots in the last quarter and missed too many opportunities.

骑士赢球靠的是凯文-乐福爆发，全场打了39分钟，21投13中，三分球9中5，罚球3中3，狂砍34分12篮板2助攻1盖帽，命中率高达61.9%。

When Lu Yong was coaching, the Knicks had never lost in an opening game. However, in the first year after leaving office, the Knicks lost, and they still lost to the Cavaliers, an old rival who knew everything about them.

The dissatisfaction of New York fans can be seen from the messages on the forum. Head coach Hornacek is panicking and always feels that the world is full of malice towards him.

What's even more interesting is that after losing the first game, there was some dissatisfaction with Anthony in the Knicks locker room.

According to a report by New York reporter Frick Smith, Butler was very dissatisfied with Anthony's behavior of taking the ball in the final quarter. He believed that Anthony took too many unreasonable jump shots, which led to the Cavaliers playing a wave of 4 in the last 10 minutes. The score was over 2.

The dual pressure of record and reputation made Anthony breathless, and he did not even attend the press conference after the game.

There is no doubt that without Lu Yong directing from the sidelines, the Knicks messed up again this time.

On a day off, the Nets host the Detroit Pistons.

From the first quarter, the Nets dominated the Pistons.

大洛佩兹镇守篮下防的德拉蒙德原地懵逼，全场出手12次，只命中3球，得到8分14篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Drummond's rebounding is still as good as ever, but he can't hit Los Angeles at all under the basket, so he is not the leader of the team.

Not only did the Pistons suffer on the inside, but they were also directly beaten by the Nets on the outside.

The Pistons, headed by Reggie Jackson, were unable to find their way out of the blue. Bradley was quite capable, but was obviously inferior to Mitchell. He couldn't keep up with the first step and couldn't even commit a foul in time.

The Pistons substitutes were even worse against the Brooklyn gangsters. They were at an absolute disadvantage both inside and outside. At the end of the game, Hardaway caught the ball and threw it after halftime. He made 6 three-pointers in the game and beat Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy. No temper at all.

Dinwiddie also has an advantage against Ishmael Smith. Smith is a bit of a role player, but his height of 1 meters is too short and his weight of 83 kilograms makes him fall down in one collision. Against Dinwiddie, Dee couldn't even interfere with a shot.

丁威迪替补出场打了27分钟，11投7中，三分球3中2，罚球3中3，高效砍下19分4篮板3助攻，朴实无华的单打专门挑软柿子捏。

At the end of the game, 129 to 86, the Nets' main force came off work in the third quarter and beat the Pistons by 43 points!
  Russell scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists in this campaign, tying his career record for assists in a single game and easily scoring a double-double.

Russell is no longer a pure scoring point guard in the Nets. He partners with Mitchell, who is good at attacking but not good at passing, in the backcourt. Lu Yong arranges more pick-and-roll passing tactics for him, and he is assigned to outside teammates. It's catch-and-shoot, and it's much easier to get assists than it was with the Lakers.

He has just played two games in the new season, and many people believe that Russell has the qualifications to become an All-Star. He is ushering in a new life in Brooklyn and is being used by Lu Yong.

After the game, Russell said with excitement in an interview: "Lou is the greatest coach I have ever seen. He seems to understand the characteristics of everyone on the team and will arrange for everyone to do what they are good at. I am glad that I became a As a member of the Nets, this kind of game rhythm is something I have never experienced before. Coach Lu brings not only confidence to everyone, but also mutual trust."

Lopez, who played 25 minutes and easily scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks, was also very happy. He is a strong contender for the best defensive player of the season.

His frame protection can help the Nets reduce defensive pressure on the outside. Even if the first line of defense is passed, there will be someone behind to help wipe the butt.

The scene of chasing and blocking is not unfamiliar to Nets fans at all. It is the defensive system Lu Yong built specifically around Lopez.

The existence of Lopez undoubtedly gives young players an extra layer of protection. Playing in this mode, even if they mark Durant one-on-one, outside players will not feel nervous.

In early November, the Nets challenged the Wizards away from home, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

The Wizards mainly rely on the double-gun combination of Wall + Beal to launch their offense. When Lu Yong faces a team with strong outside offense, he usually reuses LeVert and lets him be the starting pointer to lead the opponent's offensive attack.

The most stable point in the Wizards' offensive efficiency is Bill. LeVert's persistent and personal entanglement caused him a lot of trouble.

As for Wall, his three-point shooting percentage is only over 30%. Lu Yong simply arranged for Russell to let him two steps away to prevent breakthroughs but not shots.

If Wall made an open three-pointer, he would admit it. If he failed to make the shot, the opportunity would come to the Nets.

After the first half, the two teams combined to score 134 points, and the Nets entered the second half with an 11-point lead.

Lu Yong did not let down his guard in the second half. The starting five went all out and defeated the Wizards in the third quarter. It was another day to clock out early.

Millsap did not disappoint Lu Yong in this game. He hit two three-pointers and scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He gradually formed a tacit understanding with his teammates around him.

拉塞尔同样杀疯了，三分11中7，在28分钟出场时间里砍下31分4篮板5助攻，宛如库里附体。

Both Mitchell and Harris are good at catching and shooting. The Wizards did not dare to double-team Russell easily. This allowed Shuila to play a classic battle and fly efficiently.

Many fans began to brag about Lu Yong. As soon as he joined the Nets, the team produced the league's best offensive firepower.

On the other hand, the Knicks started with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, and averaged only 106 points per game. Their offensive firepower has plummeted compared to last season.

When Lu Yong left with his front foot, the Knicks would not be able to play with their back foot. Young stars, including Jokic, were successfully led into the ditch by Anthony and struggled very much.

The worst thing is swingman Jimmy Butler, who averages 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Playing next to Anthony, he has returned to the role of a blue-collar outsider. He can't even touch the ball in positional battles and looks like an ordinary player.

No wonder Butler has expressed his dissatisfaction with Anthony in front of the camera many times. Today's status and environment are indeed too bad.

Compared with when Lu Yong was coaching, the Knicks are like a completely different team this year, and their good cards were beaten to pieces by Hornacek.

In less than a week, the Nets completely overwhelmed the defending champion Knicks in terms of reputation.

Even New York fans began to drive to Brooklyn's home games to watch the game, as if they were ready to treat the Nets as the home team. James Dolan was so angry that he smashed the table in the office, but there was nothing he could do about the Nets next door. (End of chapter)
