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

In the second quarter, Lu Yong used a small lineup and launched a quick counterattack.

Dinwiddie, Hardaway, and LeVert are good at shooting from the outside, leading Michael Beasley and Mitchell Robinson inside to speed up the offensive rhythm.

The 76ers' two inside substitutes, Boban Marjanovic and Monroe, are very slow and cannot keep up with the Nets' speed.

Brett Brown still used the regular rotation, and the substitute score relied entirely on James Ennis, who scored 6.7 points in the regular season. The offensive firepower was far behind the Nets.

Korkmaz's playing time has shrunk significantly since entering the playoffs, averaging only 4.8 points per game, which is dismal data.

This guy can indeed score on the offensive end, and his three-pointers from outside are accurate, but he is also a colander defensively, and Brown dare not reuse him in the playoffs.

Soon, the 76ers' second lineup was defeated.

The substitute players made many mistakes. They dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and were intercepted twice by the Nets to counterattack.

Mistakes are not the worst thing. Brett Brown found that even if the players brought the ball to the frontcourt, the 76ers still couldn't score easily in positional battles.

Both Boban and Monroe were left open on the inside and outside. Monroe was really good offensively when he was young, but now, he is a liability due to his slow speed and low efficiency.

Monroe was acquired from the Celtics in a trade in the middle of the season, and Brett Brown regarded him as a treasure. Lu Yong only thought that he was a cash machine, and he might as well reuse first-year rookie Jonah Bolden.

Dinwiddie relied on his outstanding personal ability to drive to the basket with the ball many times, leading the team to a climax in just over three minutes.

Brown panicked when he saw this, and immediately called a timeout to get the main force back.

Butler returned to the court, and the 76ers' offense improved.

After taking the ball after the screen, you can misplace the ball and hit the inside. If you don't have the opportunity to play one-on-one, you can also solve the urgent need.

However, not long after the 76ers became arrogant, Lu Yong sent the main lineup on the field, still suppressing the 76ers on both offense and defense.

Relying on the gap in the rotation, the Nets entered the second half with a 65-point lead, 44-21.

In the third quarter, the two sides continued to grind out positions, and the point difference became wider and wider.

Embiid still looked bad in this quarter, shooting less than 30% from the field and scoring only 7 points.

The Nets still did not double-team him, and Luo Luo could limit his scoring at the basket by himself, forcing Embiid to take difficult jump shots from the outside.

The offensive efficiency of Embiid, the boss, is not high, and the morale of the entire 76ers is low. Only Butler is fighting alone, and his braces are almost broken.

It wasn't until this moment that Butler realized the despair that other stars felt when facing the Knicks.

The feeling of powerlessness quietly emerged in my heart, and I became increasingly dissatisfied with the weakness of 'The Great' Embiid.

It was agreed that joining the 76ers would be a strong alliance, but in the end he became the thickest thigh. What kind of inappropriate sports fraud is this?

In Lu Yong's previous life, the 76ers were able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals and the Raptors to the tiebreaker, relying on Butler to turn the tide time and time again.

Without Butler's iron-blooded performance, Embiid's team would have been eliminated long ago. Even if they were swept out 0-4, it would not be impossible.

In the final quarter, Lu Yong sent Dinwiddie, Mitchell, LeVert, Ilyasova, and Mitchell Robinson.

Starting with four substitutes, he strives for stability while overwhelming his strength.

Relying on the rotation advantage, the Nets bench played very aggressively, and the 76ers did not narrow the point difference even after chasing for a long time.

The offense mainly relied on Embiid's random attacks, and his shooting percentage was not high due to the entanglement of Mitchell Robinson.

Simmons also made a mistake when he broke through and was intercepted by Dinwiddie, assisting Mitchell in a counterattack.

Everyone knows that Simmons' offense is not a threat. His breakthrough points are purely redundant and will be completely useless in the playoffs.

The 76ers have a luxurious lineup but cannot show their strength. The gap between Lu Yong and Brown's coaching level is real.

The point difference quickly widened to 30 points, and Brett Brown did not surrender. He also fantasized about using the main lineup to recover some points.

Lu Yong relied on the bench to compete with the 76ers' starting lineup, and the score never narrowed.

The 76ers' defense is actually pretty good this season, but their offensive efficiency is hard to describe.

Even if Butler and Harris are throwing sparks, they can't stand up to the fact that Embiid is a real talent. The wave of shots he makes is not enough for his teammates to wipe his ass.

As the mentality of the 'Great Emperor' collapsed, the Nets directly used an 8-0 wave to widen the point difference to nearly 40 points.

Brett Brown replaced the main player with a look of despair, and the game entered garbage time.

At the end, 126 to 85, the Nets beat the 76ers by 41 points and got the series off to a good start.

Lu Yong walked onto the court and shook hands with Brett Brown. Brown's face was a little red and he couldn't even raise his head.

篮网全队7人得分上双，首发杜兰特表现最好，砍下31分6篮板3助攻；替补最抢眼的是勒维尔，拿下15分3篮板1助攻2抢断。

76人3人得分上双，发挥最好的是巴特勒，拿下24分7篮板2助攻，哈里斯也有18分6篮板进账。

The star Embiid was defended as a weakling. In the final quarter, substitute insider Mitchell Robinson did not dare to hit the basket. He made 16 of 5 shots, 3 of 0 three-pointers, and 4 of 2 free throws. He only scored 12 points and 8 rebounds. 2 assists and 4 turnovers, shooting 31.3%.

If he hadn't come on to score points in the final quarter, Embiid would have struggled to score in double figures today.

The performance of the 76ers' bench was even more unspeakable. None of the blue-collar players, including James Ennis, were very effective and were beaten throughout the game.

At the press conference, Durant smiled calmly and said: "I'm very happy that we won a shocking start. Everyone played according to the coach's tactics. We did whatever Lu asked us to do. We won easily. He is the most capable coach I have ever had."

Lopez, who scored 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, also echoed: "Lou has great ideas and is a great person. Last season we failed to make it to the end. This year everyone is very confident. The 76ers can't create anything for the team." threaten."

Lu Yong was much more low-key in the interview. He first praised the players' performance and then said: "This is just one of the playoff games. We should not be proud. The Nets are first in the regular season. It is reasonable to win against the 76ers." among things."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the biggest shortcoming of the 76ers currently?"

"Everyone can see it. I don't want to comment on this, but their current lineup is indeed difficult to compete for the championship." Lu Yong said with a smile.

On the 76ers side, Brett Brown blamed the players for the loss.

He said that the poor condition of the players was the reason for the 76ers' away defeat. Embiid was not mentioned in every sentence, but Embiid's shadow was present in every sentence.

"I planned a lot of plays and the team didn't make it tonight, and I know it's frustrating, but that's the way it is."

Brett Brown wildly hinted that the management Simmons was not good, and the tactics he arranged could not be used as Simmons was left empty.

If he loses again, not only Brown's coaching level will be questioned, but even Simmons and Embiid will also suffer.

This guy clearly wants to be a back-up, push the responsibility away, and keep his position as head coach.

It's a pity that the fans are not blind. Brett Brown's eagerness to shirk the blame was not only not understood, but was scolded by the fans. If he took all the blame for the defeat on himself after the game, the fans might still respect him as a man.

But Brown's current behavior, losing one game after another, has brought shame to his grandma's house.

In contrast, Pistons head coach Dwayne Casey, who was swept out in the first round, was simply too pleasing to the eye.

Sure enough, the coaching profession relies entirely on peer support, and Brett Brown is only one fuse away from dismissal.

The next day, the Internet was full of news praising the Nets and belittling 76ers coach Brett Brown.

Some fans spontaneously voted, and 98% supported the Nets' promotion, while the remaining 2% were probably die-hard Philadelphia fans. It was a completely one-sided situation.

After the disastrous defeat in the first game, the 76ers, who were determined to win the championship, continued to receive negative news.

According to Philadelphia reporter Kendall Hollins, Embiid has lost the hearts of the people in the locker room, and many players, including Butler, are dissatisfied with him.

However, Embiid is Philadelphia's own chosen rookie after all. There is no winner in this fierce battle. As the team's general manager stood up to support the 'Great Emperor', Butler, who took the lead in expressing dissatisfaction, became the culprit of the 76ers' loss. The culprit.

After the 76ers traded for Butler, they only had the rights to use him for one season.

Everyone knows that Butler will not stay in Philadelphia in the summer, so it is not difficult to choose who to support in this confrontation.

Butler doesn't care what the 76ers management thinks of him. He just wants to try his best to win the game, but now it seems that the Philadelphia management is rotten and not worth his time at all.

Head coach Brett Brown, who has been criticized by everyone, is even worse. Now not only the fans, the media, Embiid, and the management are scolding him, but even Nerlens Noel, who played under him before , all joined the ranks of the crusade.

Noel is a player with character. He won the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year awards as early as his freshman season. He is known as the next "Warcraft" Howard.

As a result, Noel has never fulfilled his potential after entering the league. He has also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Brett Brown's coaching style many times, believing that he has delayed his growth and has always held a grudge.

Now that Brown has become a hated punching bag, Noel immediately steps up and begins his crusade.

It is believed that Brett Brown has no ability to serve as a head coach. In the first three seasons of his coaching career, he only won 47 games in total.

The team's good record in the past two years is due to the players. No matter who is coached by the 76ers, they can make the playoffs.

It was not pleasant to be beaten so hard by his former disciples that Brett Brown was so angry that he fainted after hearing the news.

He knows that he is finished. Even if he is not dismissed during the offseason, it will be difficult to gain the trust of championship teams in the future.

Philadelphia gave him the first and last head coaching contract of his coaching career.

The second game was the same, with the Nets winning another victory 118 to 94.

The 76ers lineup was restrained by the Nets. Simmons only contributed 6 points in the two games combined. He had zero offensive presence and only had some effect on the defensive end.

Not to mention Embiid, who shot less than 35% in two consecutive games and was bullied into the "big brother".

Lopez is the kind of center that Embiid hates the most. He has a large defensive area. He can't move or move away. He is passive throughout the whole process.

Mitchell Robinson was also very efficient when defending Embiid, constantly interfering in front of him and reducing his breakthrough frequency, making Embiid a purer shooter than JJ Redick.

When Embiid's one-on-one shooting percentage was only over 30%, the 76ers naturally couldn't beat the Nets.

Butler improved the 76ers' perimeter defense, but couldn't guard Durant. On the offensive end, he was even more distracted and was heavily guarded by the Nets, making it difficult to score.

Durant came to dominate the game, scoring 30+ points in two consecutive games, using practical actions to explain what a superstar is.

The next day, the league announced the winners of major awards for the regular season.

Durant was elected as the regular season MVP without any suspense. He averaged 28.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1 steal, and 1.1 blocks per game. He shot 53.4% ​​from the field, 40.9% from the three-point range, and 90.5% from the free throw line. He was selected to the '180 Club for the second time in his career. '.

The Nets' offensive improvement this season is obvious to all. After Adu joined, no team can take advantage in tough battles. They led the team to 72 wins in the regular season, which is well deserved.

After winning the award, Durant held up his third MVP trophy and said: "I am very grateful to my family who have supported me along the way, especially my mentor Lu Yong. Without him, I would not be where I am today. Since I entered the league, he has been witnessing my peak, which is definitely an amazing thing."

Later, Adu also modestly praised Harden, "I thought the league would award the award to James Harden. He is also a capable player. I wish him all the best in the future."

James Harden received a lot of first-place votes, ranking second behind Durant.

Harden's statistics have exploded this year and his personal form is impeccable. Unfortunately, the Rockets' record has dragged him down. In the face of the Nets' 72 wins, he has no advantage over Adu.

Although it is a pity that he missed out on the MVP, Harden did not gain nothing. With his ultimate performance of 36 points per game, he was selected to the All-NBA Team for the fifth time in his career.

In addition to Durant and Harden, the other three players in the first team are Curry, Antetokounmpo and Jokic.

Second team: Lillard, Mitchell, George, Leonard, Embiid.

Third team: Irving, Westbrook, James, Millsap, Gobert.

The Nets have three people selected to the All-NBA Team this year, but Russell and Luo unfortunately missed out.

Even if the team has a good record, it cannot make up for the gap in personal data.

The Rookie of the Year was won by Luke Doncic of the Mavericks. He averaged 32.3 minutes per game, 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.1 steals. His statistics were even more explosive than those of LeBron James back then, and he was regarded as the future card of the league. One of the faces.

Doncic has a strong ability to see the overall situation and can always find teammates with better opportunities during the breakthrough process.

His sense of the ball is also amazing. Even Lu Yong has to admit that Doncic is a perfect core for building a team. It is hard to say whether he can lead the team to the championship, but he will work hard to bring the team into the playoffs. The game is still no problem.

The most improved player is Siakam of the Raptors. He only averaged 7.3 points per game last season. This year he has contributed 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals. He is the Raptors' second leading scorer.

Dinwiddie failed to win the Sixth Man of the Year award again. His statistics are not bad, but this year there is a monster on the bench.

Clippers boss Lou Williams did not play in the starting lineup, but came off the bench as the sixth man. He averaged 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1 steal per game. He led the team to 48 wins in the regular season and entered the playoffs, and almost defeated the Warriors. Staged a black eight miracle.

This performance can be called a historic performance, and Dinwiddie did not lose unfairly this year.

The best defensive player award went to Rudy Gobert. The Jazz built a defensive system around him and ranked first in the league in protecting the rim in the penalty area. Last year Luo Luo relied on Lu Yong to steal the DPOY that belonged to him. This year it is Gobert's turn.

Best defensive team: Smart, George, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gobert, Luo Luo.

Defensive second team: Jrue Holiday, Thompson, Leonard, Draymond Green, Embiid.

The Best Coach Award was won by Bucks coach Budenholzer. He led the team to an improvement of 16 wins in his first year of coaching. Budenholzer is indeed qualified to win the award.

When delivering his acceptance speech, Budenholzer was relatively low-key. When talking about Lu Yong, the best coach in active service, he said that he still needs to learn more and always regards Lu Yong as a role model.

No matter who wins this award in the league, Lu Yong will be a big mountain that cannot be avoided.

Compared with career honors, even 'Cardinal' Auerbach has a hard time competing. Lu Yong is the only god in this field. (End of chapter)
