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

In the third quarter, the Raptors continued to rely on star singles to hold on to the score. With Kawhi's tenacious turnaround jump shot, they fell behind by 13 points entering the final quarter.

Mitchell defeated Danny Green and scored 23 points himself. The latter made 6 of 1 three-pointers and was as iron as a dog.

Danny Green during the Raptors period was the tail end of his peak period. His defense was not bad, but his offensive stability was a problem.

In the last round of the series, he spent most of the time against Middleton. The shooting percentage of Middleton he defended was very low, but his own offense was also not very good. It was a double-edged sword that killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.

Lu Yong is not worried about the Raptors winning on defense. The Nets have a deep lineup and many players who can score.

As long as the Raptors can't open up the offense, it's useless no matter how tough the defense is. Unless the starters play the entire game, the rotation time is destined to be exhausted.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Kawhi came off the court to rest, and the Raptors' offense immediately lost power.

Being beaten by Russell, Hardaway, and LeVert from the outside, they cried for their parents.

Tyronn Lue was helpless, sitting in the audience with a look of despair.

This is under the premise that he lets Lowry lead the bench. If all the main players come off the court, the Raptors can shoot directly.

After a short pause, Russell jumped up to the mid-range jumper easily, and his shots after several pick-and-rolls all hit the net.

Russell scored consecutive breakthrough jumpers and led the team to a 9-0 run, which boosted morale.

Tyronn Lue called a timeout and replaced Leonard and Siakam, hoping to use the offensive lineup to chase points.

Unfortunately, the Raptors dug too big a hole in the first half and couldn't catch up on the score.

In the second half, in order to chase points, the Raptors began to take a large number of three-pointers. Lowry, Danny Green, Kawhi Kawhi, and Gasol all started shooting mode.

However, the Raptors' three-point shooting percentage was too low in this game. Instead of narrowing the point difference, the Nets only widened the point difference.

Danny Green turned undercover and sacrificed himself to help the entire Nets team. When Tyronn Lue replaced him with a shameful look, he made 9 of 1 three-pointers and a poor shooting rate of 11.1%.

During garbage time, the Nets still had the advantage. Lu Yong sent Ding Yanyuhang out to experience the atmosphere of the Eastern Conference finals. He played for more than 5 minutes and made 3 of 2 shots and 1 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 5 points and 1 rebound, which is also counted in the division. The final stage left his own footprints.

In the end, 119 to 96, the Nets won a big victory at home and got a good start in the series.

After defeating the Raptors by 23 points in the first game, commentators from all major TV stations boasted about the Nets.

It means that the Raptors have no chance of making a comeback. Winning one game in the series is considered a blessing.

At the press conference, Lu Yong commented on the game and pointed out the Raptors' shortcomings.

"The Raptors' offense lacks continuity. Many times they can only score points by star players in isolation. It is undeniable that their defense is very good, but how can a team without offensive advantage beat the Nets?"

"The Nets have the regular season MVP of the season, the best team player, and DPOY level rim protection elite. If we go all out and play every game as a tiebreaker, this series will soon be Finish."

Lu Yong commented that the Raptors did not have any psychological pressure. The two main players, Lowry and Gasol, were the first batch of "Luxury stars."

They are very aware of Lu Yong's coaching level and he talks wildly, but every word is true.

Needless to say, Raptors head coach Tyronn Lue is an old face among Lu Yong’s defeated players. He has the courage to show his sword to Lu Yong, which is already remarkable. For ordinary people, he would have collapsed long ago.

Not surprisingly, Lu Yong’s comments after the game immediately made headlines.

Fans know that he doesn't take the Raptors seriously at all. The Nets this season have the power to crush everything.

Online fans also feel that the Raptors have no hope of winning. Kawhi's overall performance this year is indeed strong, but he cannot hold up against the stronger Nets.

When Durant, the regular season MVP, matched up with him, the rest of the Raptors were dumbfounded, and their advantage turned into a disadvantage. This was a tough battle that was impossible to win.

There is a reason for Lu Yong's arrogant attitude. Doing this can make the young players in the team excited. It is a behavior led by the coach to pour chicken soup.

In addition, the Raptors players felt bad after hearing Lu Yong's comments.

Especially the team boss Leonard, who originally thought that the Raptors had the strength to beat the Nets 50-50, and it was not certain who would win the Eastern Conference Finals.

But the Nets' outstanding performance in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals directly broke his spine, and even the light in his eyes dimmed a lot.

Lu Yong's arrogant attitude not only did not anger him, but made Xiaoka feel more uneasy and fell into deep self-doubt.

In the final analysis, Leonard is just a top-notch star. There is no problem with him attacking the city, but his character and mentality are not suitable for being a team leader.

If Kawhi was replaced by Michael Jordan at this time, the old gangster would definitely curse in front of the media and encourage his teammates with words.

Regardless of the outcome, morale cannot be lost.

As the boss of a team, Leonard is unqualified.

Perhaps Durant is not a leader, but Lu Yong's presence has made up for his weak spirit. When the master and apprentice join forces, there is really no weakness.

Even Anthony is not as good as Adu in this regard, because Adu is invincible when playing with the wind. As long as the team is not in dire straits, he rarely has other thoughts.

But Anthony is different. This guy is very hardworking in headwind situations and likes the excitement of proving himself.

But once the surrounding environment becomes comfortable, Melon's appetite is easily exposed, and it is difficult for that insatiable heart to coexist peacefully with Lu Yong, who is extremely controlling.

Lu Yong has brought out more than one regular season MVP, but the one he admires most is Adu.

Although he is already one of the top fifteen players in history, he still has a strong aura about him, and he can get along with everyone in life, which is really rare.

After losing the first game, Tyronn Lue discussed countermeasures with his assistant coach. After thinking about it all night, he couldn't figure out how to prevent the Nets' offense.

It won't work if Siakam is not allowed to start. Kawhi and Lowry alone can't keep up with the Nets' scoring speed. The flaws of the defensive lineup are clearly visible.

With Siakam on the team, defense in the penalty area is very difficult.

His lateral movement speed is not slow, but his tonnage is too light, which is a visible disadvantage against Millsap. If the ball is hoisted in, it is easy to be missed by the basket.

Kawhi can help defend, but the player who can't stand him is the 'Reaper' Durant.

When Adu moves to the outside, no one in the league dares to let him go to help defend others. That is simply a disease of the brain.

No matter how you employ people, you can't be foolproof. Tyronn Lue feels that his little hair can be said for this.

He will definitely not stay in the Eastern Conference when his contract expires in the summer. Making some money is not enough to worry about. If there are more series like this, he will sooner or later become depressed.

Even James was sent to the West by Lu Yong, and Tyronn Lue felt that there was no shame in running west. At worst, he and Lao Zhan will also have a low-end version of the master-disciple reunion, and use the traffic to challenge the Nets from the air.

In the second game, the Raptors adjusted by strengthening physical confrontation and clearing the way with iron elbows when going around screens.

They would rather risk being called for a foul than let the Nets get an easy shot.

This move is mainly aimed at the three shots from the outside, forcing Russell, Mitchell and Adu to hit the basket as much as possible to guard against three-pointers.

Unfortunately, Tyronn Lue had a good idea, but he seriously underestimated the referee's eyes and the shooting of Lopez inside.

The Raptors were caught on the spot for several violent moves around the pick-and-roll. Less than five minutes into the first quarter, the number of free throws came.

As a result, every subsequent foul will result in a free throw for the Nets.

At first glance at the 13-4 free throws in a single quarter, those who didn't know better thought that the Nets referee team relied on black whistles to win the game.

But only the fans who watched the whole game knew that the Raptors gave the Nets 13 free throws in a single quarter entirely at their own fault. They wanted to play the same thing as in the 90s but didn't understand, and were casually hung up and beaten by the Nets.

Luo played very well in this game. With the Raptors' defense focusing on three shots, he made 14 of 9 shots tonight, 9 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He efficiently scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 assists. Blocked shots, shooting 64.3%.

Millsap's singles under the basket also gave Tyronn Lue a headache, and it was impossible to prevent Siakam from being arranged to start.

The offense got better, but when I looked back, my defense collapsed!

On the other hand, the Nets are in very good shape on both offense and defense.

The three shots from the outside reduce the number of three-pointers, but they cause huge damage in the mid-range.

Especially Adu, the long two-point jump shot is his specialty. In G2, he showed off his power, making 23 of 14 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 36 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. It is totally unreasonable. .

In addition to Adu, Mitchell also performed well, making 15 of 8 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

In this game, all members of the Nets were online. The Raptors could not find North from the beginning, and only three people scored in double figures.

116 to 91, the Nets won another game, leading the total score 2-0.

After the game, a reporter asked Lu Yong to evaluate Durant.

He smiled and said: "I don't think I need to evaluate Adu's scoring ability anymore. Three MVPs and two FMVPs are his best profile. There is no better scorer in the league than him. There is no doubt about it.”

The reporter asked again: "Then how do you evaluate Mitchell? Many people say that Mitchell only became a star in the Nets' tactical system. The reason why he is strong is entirely because you arranged specific tactics for him. If he leaves the Nets, he will become a star." Net, he will soon become an ordinary player, what do you think?"

Lu Yong shook his head and smiled: "This is a very boring question. Mitchell is just more powerful when playing in the Nets' tactical system. His athletic talent and physical fitness are destined to be able to do a lot of things. Even if he leaves one day in the future, He is also a solid All-Star player.”

Another reporter asked: "What heights do you think Mitchell can reach in the future?"

"He is already an All-Star and has been selected to the best team. To take the next step requires luck. It is no longer a competition of pure personal ability, so this question is difficult to answer."

The Raptors returned to their home court and went all out in Game 3, but still lacked offensive continuity.

The shooting touch of role players has collectively declined, with only Leonard shooting over 45%.

The Raptors made 37 of 6 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of only 16.3%, which is appallingly low.

Lowry made two three-pointers from the outside. He is already the Raptors' best outside shooter. Tyronn Lue kept yelling at the players in an anxious manner.

With such a shooting performance, the Raptors certainly couldn't defeat the Nets, losing 89-107 and trailing 0-3 in total.

On the Nets side, Durant took fewer shots and mainly passed the ball after attracting double teams. He made 14 of 7 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal. Double data.

米切尔命中率也不低，18投10中，三分7中3，罚球4中4，得到27分4篮板3助攻。

Brunson unexpectedly stood up on the bench. He played 18 minutes and made 8 of 6 shots, 5 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He efficiently contributed 18 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 75%.

In this game, Brunson dared to express himself after coming on the court. Whether he was driving for a layup or a pull-up three-pointer, he was super confident.

As a substitute with inconsistent playing time, this is not the first time Brunson has delivered explosive performance in this year's playoffs, making it difficult for the outside world not to notice him.

This is what happens when a rookie is in good shape. His shooting percentage is astonishingly high, and scoring points is like chopping vegetables.

Russell's child labor contract expires in the summer, and Lu Yong does have the intention to correct Brunson.

Brunson's offensive stability is better than that of Shuila, and he is reliable in tough battles.

If there is really no big fish to sign in the free market, Brunson is fully capable of starting.

Before the start of the G4 game, some media broke a piece of news, saying that Leonard was dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates, believed that he had no helpers around him, and bluntly stated that he would leave the Raptors in the summer.

Lu Yong was very happy after reading the news. The Raptors' lineup also said that he had no helpers. Leonard was just telling lies with his eyes open.

It is a fact that they cannot beat the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals, and it is also a fact that the Raptors themselves are not weak.

Leonard's heart of glass was completely shattered after being led by Lu Yong to win three games in a row. He could only be incompetent and furious and spread his grievances on his teammates.

This is indeed the case. After Xiaoka Glass was heartbroken, he failed to convert his anger into strength. Instead, he showed off blatantly in the last scene.

他全场仅出手8次，命中4球，三分2中1，罚球2中2，得到11分6篮板2助攻1抢断。

Everyone can see that Leonard is using this method to vent his anger with the management. The team leader only took 8 shots in the playoffs, which is simply unheard of.

With Leonard's start, the series quickly lost its suspense. The Nets defeated the Raptors 118-92 and swept 4-0 to advance to the finals.

Russell, Mitchell, and Durant all scored 20+ points, and a total of 7 Nets players scored in double figures.

After the game, Raptors head coach Tyronn Lue looked frustrated.

He did not take all the blame for the defeat on himself, but made an insinuation that the Nets were too strong and there was nothing he could do about leading the team to lose.

He will definitely not renew his contract with the Raptors in the summer. He will be eliminated from the series and naturally does not need to shoulder the responsibility.

Only by praising Lu Yong and the Nets to the sky can Tyronn Lue find a job in the summer and not look so stupid.

After all, all three teams in the Eastern Conference were swept by the Nets. It was not his turn to take the blame for this kind of thing.

Lu Yong praised the players and said that the Nets will win the first championship in team history, and no matter who their opponent is in the finals, they can't stop them. (End of chapter)
