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

Chapter 337 The most overrated head coach in history?

At the press conference, Green Army coach Stevens sighed: "The Nets are stronger than last season. They played a better offense than the Green Army, made fewer mistakes, and shot accurately, so they won the opening game." Wen is the most stable offensive star I have ever seen. His joining gives the Nets the ability to compete for championships. I think he is already a top ten star in history."

The reporter asked: "Do you think Durant has a chance to win the MVP again this year?"

Stevens thought for a moment and said: "Yes, he is an MVP-level star in his own right. Now that he has joined the Nets, as long as the team can achieve an excellent record, no one in the league can compete with him."

Durant's personal data meets the criteria for MVP selection every year, but the team's poor record holds him back.

If the Nets rank first in the league in regular season record, there will be almost no suspense for the MVP.

Even if the league wants to support new star players, Durant is a big mountain they can't get around.

The reporter asked again: "How do you evaluate Mitchell Robinson, the first-round pick?"

"He is very talented. Originally, I was curious about why Lu Yong chose him. Now I have the answer. Mitchell Robinson is worthy of the Nets' first-round pick."

In the first game of his career, Robinson played only 18 minutes, made 4 of 3 shots, scored 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, 4 of which were offensive rebounds.

Let's not talk about his technical characteristics. With this hard work, Robinson will not worry about being able to survive in the future.

On the Nets side, Lu Yong praised the players with a smile, especially Ding Yanyuhang, who said a lot of good things about him in front of the media.

Xiao Ding scored 9 points in the final quarter. Although the high efficiency of 5 of 4 shots is a super level performance, when will he not be praised at this time?

Xiao Ding may show his true colors in the next game. If he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he must at least practice for a year to lay a good foundation.

In addition to Xiaoding, Lu Yong also praised several other rookies.

Everyone's performance was excellent. Except for Vincent's slightly stretched crotch, Lu Yong really couldn't fault it.

The reporter asked Lu Yong to evaluate the Celtics. He praised Tatum and Brown and made it clear that he was optimistic about the two being selected as All-Stars in the future.

As for Irving, Lu Yong did not comment too much.

The brain circuit of 'Ou Shenxian' is not normal. If you praise him for a few words, you may be ignored. It's better to avoid it.

On the same night, the Knicks unsurprisingly lost to the Raptors in the opening game, 101 to 116, a clean defeat.

安东尼首战打了34分钟，21投8中，三分球7中2，罚球4中4，砍下22分6篮板1助攻，命中率38.1%。

猛龙球星小卡用实际行动诠释了什么叫年轻力壮，16投9中，三分4中2，罚球8中8，对飙安东尼轰下28分8篮板4助攻2抢断，投篮命中率56.3%。

When Kawhi scored 11 points in the final quarter and took away the game, the New York fans at the scene were silent. They looked at Anthony who was hitting the ball one after another on the court with complicated expressions.

Although Anthony has been unwilling to admit the fact that he is old, the results will not lie. Against the current top small forwards, Melo was suppressed in almost every game.

His era has passed, and 21 shots in the opening game was his final struggle.

It was not until this time that New York fans discovered how great Lu Yong was.

If Anthony had not made a decision that went against his original intentions, would he have won his fifth championship ring by now?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as reality. From the moment Anthony openly opposed Lu Yong, his career went downhill.

The most intense game of the opening game was the Warriors VS Rockets. The two teams fought bloody battles in three overtimes to decide the winner. Harden stepped back against Green and hit a three-pointer to win 128-127.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made two fatal mistakes. First, he had a chance to kill his opponent during the regular season, but instead of calling a timeout to let Thompson hold the ball, he was double-teamed and made a mistake. The Rockets made a fatal steal.

Second, in overtime, substitute swingman Damien Lee was replaced with a hot touch. He chose to trust Thompson, who made only 18 of 5 shots in the game. He missed three jumpers and was defeated by the Rockets.

Fans couldn't understand Steve Kerr's employment. Damien Lee made 5 of 5 shots in regular time, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 14 points with a % shooting rate. As a result, there was not even a second of overtime, and the main focus was 'meritorious basketball'.

It's useless no matter how capable the newcomer is. He has to sit off the court at critical moments, making it difficult for fans to tell whether Cole is a famous coach or a bastard. It is difficult to tell the truth from the false.

After the game, Cole was trolled online, with fans yelling at him on social media, and the call for dismissal resounded throughout Golden State for the first time.

Lu Yong watched the news and found it funny.

This is not the first time that Cole has been questioned in terms of employment. This guy picked Mark Jackson's peach to become a championship coach. He does have the ability, but his coaching level is seriously overestimated.

In Lu Yong's previous life, the American FW media bombarded Warriors head coach Cole, calling him "the most overrated head coach in history."

The media pointed out that Cole's brilliant achievements were largely due to Curry's dividends. However, as Curry ages and Clay and others' strength declines severely, Cole's true coaching level has been exposed.

The core of Cole's coaching is passing and cutting. This system has coordination, movement, both without and with the ball, and can fully unleash the potential of every player on the field.

However, fans only see the huge bonus that the pass-and-cut system brings to the Warriors, but they ignore that the foundation of the pass-and-cut system is that stars can attract double teams and divert the opponent's defensive attention. Only then can the pass-and-cut system exert a huge threat.

To put it another way, because there are two top shooters in Curry and Thompson, even if Cole is not coaching the Warriors, other head coaches can still succeed by copying the pass and cut. As long as Curry moves normally and Green passes the ball normally, even a CBA head coach can get through the passing and cutting system.

In addition, Cole's biggest problem is his excessive obsession with small lineups, especially when coaching the United States against Canada in the World Cup. This guy actually caused the ultimate death of Bridges, Brunson, Reeves, Edwards, and Hart. Five small.

The average height of this lineup is less than 2 meters. Hart and Bridges played inside, but they were suddenly blown away by Canada.

The U.S. men's basketball team lost an average of 120 points in its losses to Germany and Canada, and its defensive problems were clearly visible. The team has no shortage of centers. Kessler, who is 2 meters tall, is a strong defensive player, but Cole just doesn't need it.

Lu Yong does not want the Warriors to change coaches. If Cole really leaves, the Nets may have several strong competitors.

Now the Warriors' lineup is capable of competing for the championship, but he knows Cole's coaching methods well. If he really encounters them in the finals, it will be much easier than fighting the desperate run-and-gun Rockets.

After a day off, the Nets will face the Raptors in their first game in November.

The first two games before the start of the game were tough. Lu Yong wondered if he had offended someone. If the Nets were not so strong, he might have to kneel twice in a row at the start of the game.

The biggest reinforcement for the Raptors this summer is the exchange of teams between Kawhi Kawhi and DeRozan.

In the first game, Leonard led the team to defeat the Knicks and scored 28 points. He is one of the few strikers in the league who can face off against Durant.

Overall, the Nets have a better lineup than the Raptors, but Lu Yong knows that the Raptors are strong and must be energetic if they want to win.

This is another national live broadcast. The Nets have high popularity and ratings, and TNT TV station almost never misses a game. Raptors fans are looking forward to this match. If they can't beat the Nets, they won't be able to compete for the championship in the Eastern Conference.

The Nets' starting lineup remains unchanged, Russell, Mitchell, Durant, Millsap, and Lopez.

The Raptors' starting lineup is the same, Lowry, Danny Green, Leonard, Siakam, and Ibaka.

Daluo won the jump ball and the game began.

Russell dribbled the ball to the three-point line, waited for Lopez to come up to cover, and then broke through to the basket from the left.

After Lopez opened the ball, he immediately bounced to the outside. Russell took two steps and passed out to find Luo.

Luo caught the ball and shot without any fancy moves. He used his height advantage to hit Ibaka's three-point jumper. Whoops, 3-0.

The number of three-pointers shot by Los Angeles this season is not much different from last year, but the efficiency is much higher. He shot 39.6% in the preseason and made 5 of 3 three-pointers in the first game. His good performance continued tonight. Shooting feel.

The Raptors attack and the Nets guard man-to-man.

Lowry holds the ball and picks Ibaka in the middle, lowers his center of gravity and rushes inside. He uses his tonnage advantage to hit Russell, creating space to attract Millsap to help defend.

Millsap teamed up with Russell to block Lowry's breakthrough route. The latter jumped up to pass the ball. Siakam raised his hand at 60 degrees on the left and feinted. He took a long step and hit a two-point jumper, 3-2. .

Barkley said: "The Raptors fired head coach Casey this summer and signed a contract with former Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue. I don't know if Coach Lu can lead this Raptors to achieve great results and under Lu Yong's rule Break out of the siege in the east."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Tylen Lue is called by the fans the closest coach to Lu Yong in active service, because both of them have the word 'Lu' in their names. They are the real Lue coaches."

Barkley said: "If we follow this logic, I am afraid that McAway has already become the number one player in the league, Michael Carter-Williams. This name is domineering to the naked eye."

In a positional battle, Russell picked and rolled to attract the defense and once again distributed the ball.

Durant caught the ball and hit Leonard alone. He didn't move away in the first step when changing direction. If it were someone else who could only pass the ball at this time.

However, Durant's physical talent was unreasonable. He was blocked and stopped the ball on the spot, using his wingspan to shoot a pull-up jumper.

His shooting action was not pretty, but his release point was very high. Leonard took off with all his strength and didn't miss it. He made a steady mid-range shot and voila, 5-2.

After scoring the goal, Adu had no expression on his face, staring at Leonard in front of him as if he were looking at a local dog.

Even though both of them are the league's top small forwards, Durant's offense is obviously stronger.

If other teams have to choose between the two, Lu Yong believes that more than 80% of the teams will choose Adu, and only the remaining 20% ​​will choose Xiaoka.

Tyronn Lue sat on the sidelines with a confused look on his face. No matter whether the team was leading or lagging behind, he always had this expression, which was a breath of fresh air among the head coaches.

When the Raptors attacked, Lowry played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, but his breakthrough was unable to attract double-teams. His emergency-stop jump shot missed the basket due to slight interference from Russell.

Millsap protected the backcourt rebound, and Durant changed direction significantly in the position battle, facing Kawhi's two-pointer and then hit! Uh-huh! 7 to 2.

Durant went crazy tonight. Even facing a defender of Kawhi's level, his pull-up jump shot was still as solid as an old dog.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines with a relaxed look on his face. The Raptors have not yet acquired Gasol from the Grizzlies at this time, and the championship system has not yet been formed. The Nets have the advantage on both offense and defense. In a short period of time, it will be difficult for the Raptors to shake the Nets' dominance in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors attacked, Leonard gestured to his teammates to pull away, and challenged Durant one-on-one in the middle, intending to return the favor.

Unfortunately, Kabuto missed a jump shot with his left hand and was interfered by Adu's long arm, causing his brows to wrinkle together subconsciously.

Millsap got the rebound and passed Russell directly to launch a counterattack.

Russell accelerated to attract double-teams, and passed through the gap to Durant, who was following up from behind. Adu took a step forward, pulled the ball up, relied on Leonard to get to the basket, and scored a layup with his left hand. , 9 to 2.

Durant made 3 of 3 shots in the opening game and scored 6 points in a row. Tyronn Lue was not calm anymore. He stood up and shouted something at the players, his hands were covered in cold sweat.

When coaching the Cavaliers, he was taught by the Knicks led by Lu Yong for many years.

Now that both of them have changed teams, Tyronn Lue is still beaten by the Nets led by Lu Yong. This reminds him of some bad memories and makes him feel scared in his heart.

The Raptors attacked, Lowry broke through after a pick-and-roll, and finally helped the team break the scoring drought. After squeezing Russell away, he turned over and scored a jumper from mid-range, 9-4.

Looking back, Russell immediately returned the favor, broke into the basket and picked the basket with a low hand. The ball went hollow into the net, and oh, 11 to 4.

Barkley smiled: "Russell has improved again this season. He has teammates of Durant's level around him. He rarely gets double-teamed when he walks to the basket. The offensive environment is very comfortable."

Tyronn Lue did not call a timeout, Lowry suddenly passed the ball to Kawhi who was connected on the outside, and Leonard forced a mid-range shot, 11-6.

Next, the two teams started a confrontation on the offensive end, and both scored in the positional battle.

However, the Nets' shooting feels better today and they have always taken the initiative in the score. The Raptors cannot open up the situation and can only rely on Kawhi's singles, which is not very efficient.

It wasn't until 7 minutes later that Norman Powell came on the scene to replace Danny Green, and the Raptors' offensive end improved.

In order to limit Powell's convulsions, Lu Yong replaced Mitchell and sent LeVert to add a 3D outside.

After the first quarter, the Nets led 32 to 24.

Leonard scored 8 points, 9 of 3 shots, 2 of 0 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and his shooting percentage was slightly lower.

Tyronn Lue sighed inwardly. He envied the Nets' starting lineup. Coaching a full-level team was his dream.

Durant scored 11 points in a single quarter, the highest in the game, and made 8 of 5 shots with a shooting percentage of over 50%.

The lineups of both sides are not bad, but in terms of offensive firepower, the Nets are still one version ahead of the Eastern Conference.

Not to mention that the Raptors have not yet acquired Marc Gasol, even if Gasol comes, Lu Yong is still confident that he will lead his team to slay the dragon and support the 'Reaper' to dominate the northern dragon clan.
