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

Chapter 352: Sweep and win the championship! The legend continues in Brooklyn!

At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked Durant about topics related to FMVP.

Durant shrugged his shoulders and said: "I haven't thought about this problem. I just play the game at a normal pace. My teammates have better opportunities. I will pass the ball. When the team needs me to stand up and score, I will I won’t be lenient either.”

Adu won two championships in his career, both as FMVP.

His performance is truly as stable as an old dog. As long as he performs normally, no one in the Nets can compete with him.

Lu Yong commented on the game and said: "I am very happy that we are one step closer to the championship trophy. Before the start of the season, few people believed that the Nets could win the championship. Now, almost everyone is optimistic about the Nets. This feeling is really great."

The reporter asked again: "Are you confident of winning the next game?"

"Of course, I have always been very confident. If the main players hadn't clocked out in the third quarter, the Warriors would have lost more."

The reporters in the audience laughed out loud, thinking that Lu Yong was going to be modest, but in the end, it was still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.

In my heart, I didn't take Warriors head coach Steve Kerr seriously. Their coaching levels were too different.

This game clearly showed the gap between Cole and Lu Yong. Whether it was personnel or tactical arrangements, Cole was not decisive enough.

There is a clear gap between the two teams. The only advantage the Warriors have is Curry, who knows when it will break out.

Russell's scoring explosion is not as good as Curry's, but he played impeccably in the tailwind game and played very comfortably in this year's playoffs.

The next day, the media began to praise the Nets in unison, belittling the Golden State Warriors led by Kerr.

Even the Golden State media didn't say anything good about Cole, believing that his stubborn coaching style was a shackle that prevented the Warriors from further breaking through the ceiling.

After the end of this season, Cole will no longer be able to secure the position of head coach as before. His weak-side cutting tactics are leftovers from Lu Yong and are not new.

In addition to Cole, who was sprayed by fans online and made him cry, Cousins, who voluntarily took a salary cut to join the Warriors in the summer, was also almost crying.

After the season was reimbursed, no team in the league was willing to offer him a big contract. Cousins ​​angrily chose to join the Warriors and only received a salary of 530 million.

The result was not as expected. After joining the Warriors, his data dropped severely, and in the playoffs, his playing time shrank significantly.

Originally, Cousins ​​just wanted to use the Warriors as a springboard to use his exposure to prove that he could return to the top. However, he failed in the test. Not only did his value plummet, but he also scared away several teams that were interested in him. My career has waned by half.

In Lu Yong's previous life, Cousins ​​did not wait for a big contract this summer, and finally signed with the Lakers at a low price of US$350 million a year.

What's even more unfortunate is that after joining the Lakers, Cousins ​​was reimbursed without playing a game. He had a knee collision with another player during training in Las Vegas and tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, which forced him to undergo surgery. .

Since then, Cousins ​​has begun his wandering journey.

让人很难相信上个赛季他还是场均25.2分12.9篮板5.4助攻1.6抢断和1.6次盖帽的超级中锋。

Lu Yong is somewhat interested in picking up Cousins ​​​​at a low price. After all, it is the former center who is responsible. There is no problem in signing him as a substitute in the summer.

In the second game, Lu Yong still emphasized defense at the beginning and pinched the "Splash Brothers" to shoot three-pointers.

The Warriors' offense in the first quarter was awkward. Curry and Thompson made several strong shots against the defense, but they all went awry. Aldridge was tangled up with Millsap and had no chance. In the end, he had to put the pressure on Test, who has an annual salary of 530 million. On Sins.

Cousins ​​was confused when he caught the ball in the low post. He said he was here to hug his thigh, but why did it end up being his thigh when he hit him?

Durant continued his hot touch from the previous game, shooting fiercely from inside and outside, and scored 10 points in a single quarter.

The Nets had a higher overall shooting percentage, leading 32 to 24 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, when both teams came on as substitutes, the Warriors immediately couldn't hold on.

The Nets' five players, Dinwiddie, Hardaway, LeVert, Ilyasova, and Mitchell Robinson, four of them can shoot three-pointers, and they are full of firepower from the outside.

Dinwiddie plays a pick-and-roll in the middle, and the players move on both sides. Only Ilyasova has a fixed position, standing in the bottom corner and acting as a high-post turret.

Hardaway Jr. was in great form in this quarter, hitting three three-pointers from 45 degrees from the left and scoring 9 points and 2 rebounds.

In the second half, Russell began to show his strength again under the cover of his teammates, hitting four three-pointers in a single quarter. Durant was not lenient in his limited playing time and scored many times in singles with the ball. Regardless of Thompson or Iguodala, they suffered physically from defending Adu alone.

The Nets' strategy against Aldridge is still to defend alone, and there are not many double teams.

Millsap completed his task very well. Just being blocked can consume a lot of Ade's physical energy, making his offensive efficiency low.

In the final quarter, the Warriors increased their three-point shooting from the outside, and their shooting percentage plummeted.

Adu took the opportunity to stand up and hit consecutive singles, and the Nets opened the score in a wave.

122 to 94, the Nets won by 28 points.

杜兰特18投10中,三分球8中5,罚球6中6,砍下31分5篮板4助攻2抢断,打爆了伊戈达拉。

米切尔14投8中,三分球6中3,罚球4中4,得到23分4篮板3助攻,对位汤普森也不甘示弱。

Six members of the Nets team scored in double figures, and even in the substitute competition, they still dominated the Warriors.

库里21投7中,三分11中2,罚球4中3,状态低迷,只得到19分4篮板5助攻,命中率33.3%。

The Nets were very successful in putting pressure on the outside and delayed every pick-and-roll. They would rather let the Warriors score inside than give the outside a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

The Warriors were so defensive that they couldn't play their favorite offensive rhythm. If they wanted to score, the 'Splash Brothers' could only make strong shots against the defense, and their hit rate was not high.

Thompson made 17 of 6 shots, 12 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 17 points and 3 rebounds, with no assists. His shooting percentage was about the same as Curry, only 35.3%.

After two games, everyone felt that the Warriors were doomed.

Not to mention winning the championship, judging from the current situation, it seems that even refusing to sweep has become a luxury hope.

The third game moved to Golden State, and the Warriors had no retreat.

Klay Thompson showed surprising touch in the first quarter, making 5 of 0 three-pointers and scoring no points.

If Damien Lee hadn't been strong enough in this game, hitting two three-pointers and a counterattack dunk, the Warriors would have been finished in one quarter.

The Nets' top scorer was Durant, who made four mid-range shots and a three-pointer, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, as well as Iguodala's outstanding performance behind him.

Curry did not rest in the second quarter, and Lu Yong also reduced the rest time of core players.

The positional battle was fought steadily, always with the Warriors on their side. Russell, who was lost in the first quarter, also found his offensive sense. He scored 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter on sudden inside and outside shots. The Nets entered the second half 61-44.

In the third quarter, Curry suddenly showed his strength, throwing 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, leading the team to a climax.

However, Thompson's shooting in this quarter was still very poor. He made 7 of 2 shots and 4 of 1 three-pointers. His efficiency was appallingly low.

It was useless for the Warriors to have Curry alone. The Nets had more players who could score, and the score was widened again.

In the final quarter, Thompson, who did not believe in evil, took more shots. The Nets did not double-team and sent people to defend Buddha one-on-one.

Facts have proved that people who are more serious about themselves are really miserable. Thompson made 19 of 5 shots, 14 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He only had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and his shooting percentage was 26.3%.

阿尔德里奇17投9中,罚球6中5,得到23分9篮板2助攻1盖帽。

Curry also had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. However, only these three of the Warriors scored in double figures, and the overall shooting rate was as low as 35.8%.

How could he win against the Nets with this kind of data?

篮网一边,杜兰特25分8篮板3助攻1盖帽,拉塞尔18分3篮板5助攻,米切尔、米尔萨普分别拿到16分和13分,全队7人得分上双,128比102再胜一场。

After this game, the fans who supported the Warriors were desperate.

Trailing 0-3 in the finals, there has never been a comeback in NBA history.

Many people were surprised by the process of this year's finals. They did not expect that the Nets would defeat their opponents in a row. The Warriors were unable to pose a threat to the Nets at all.

Only Lu Yong was not surprised by the result, because Durant, who was supposed to play for the Warriors, came to the Nets early. Now this Warriors can only be regarded as the favorite to win the championship at best, but it can no longer be linked to the evaluation of "Cosmic Brave".

In Lu Yong's previous life, the "Splash Brothers" offense was excellent, but without Durant, the Warriors would not have been able to easily win two consecutive championships.

Without a super giant, this Warriors has completely become a three-point team, and it is no match for the fully equipped Nets.

After the game, the players celebrated early in the tunnel.

Everyone knows that the finals have come to an end, and the next game is when the Nets win the cup.

At the press conference, Lu Yong once again became the focus.

The reporter asked: "Do you think the Nets will sweep the Warriors 4-0?"

"Of course, that's obvious."

The reporter asked again: "Lou, the contracts of many Nets players expired in the summer, including Russell, Lopez and other main players. Do you think the team can retain the core lineup in the summer?"

Lu Yong chuckled and said: "I will try my best to operate, but this kind of thing is not something I can decide alone. No matter who goes or stays, the fans will remember their contributions."

In the fourth game, Klay Thompson, who had been working hard for a whole round, finally broke out. He played 41 minutes and made 21 of 13 shots, 14 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 37 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist.

库里也拼到了最后一刻,三分球12中5,得到24分6篮板6助攻1抢断,水花兄弟都交出了不错的个人数据。

Unfortunately, the Warriors still lost this game, losing to the Nets 112-118.

The Nets won because of their stronger offensive firepower. Durant had 33 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, playing high-energy performance in four consecutive games.

米切尔16投9中,三分球11中5,罚球3中3,得到26分3篮板3助攻。

拉塞尔12投7中,三分球7中3,罚球2中2,19分2篮板5助攻,表现也很不错。

Daluo, a high-poster, made four three-pointers and played 35 minutes. He made 9 of 5 shots, 8 of 4 three-pointers, and no free throws. He scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks. While ensuring the efficiency of protecting the frame on the defensive end, the offense has not fallen behind. When his contract expires this summer, he will definitely be poached by other teams with big contracts.

Millsap's statistics were average, and he focused all his energy on how to defend Aldridge. He made 8 of 4 shots, 2 of 0 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He only had 10 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. ways to help the team win.

As the final whistle sounded, everyone in the Nets rushed into the court to cheer and celebrate.

Lu Yong's mood was extremely happy, and all the hard work and sacrifices were worth it at this moment.

The last time they won the championship in New York, he was just the team coach. But this time is different. While he serves as the head coach, he is also a shareholder of the Brooklyn Nets and the protagonist of the team. This feeling is indeed very refreshing!

The only fly in the ointment is that when winning away games, the atmosphere is definitely not as lively as at home, which can be considered a drawback after sweeping the opponent in the finals.

Durant walked to the sideline and gave Lu Yong a hug. "Lu, the most fortunate thing in my life is that I met you. We actually won the championship together again. It's like a dream!"

"Of course this is a dream, but it is the beginning of a dream coming true. Believe me, we will win more championships in the future." Lu Yong said with a smile.

Boss Cai, who was watching the game, also walked into the field with an excited face and hugged Lu Yong.

Boss Cai said excitedly: "Thank you, Lu, you have brought unprecedented attention to the Nets. From now on, Brooklyn will also have its own championship trophy!"

"Yes, I will try my best to defend the title next season." Lu Yong said with a chuckle.

Several assistant coaches are also very happy. The Nets won the championship and they are one step closer to finding good jobs.

The happiest player among the players is naturally Durant. He knows that he will soon win the third FMVP trophy in his career. In the finals, he averaged 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game, and his shooting percentage reached 55.7%. No one can compete with him for this kind of performance.

Chinese player Ding Yanyuhang was also excited. He played in the NBA for the first time in his career and got a ring with the team. Although he didn't have much sense of participation, it was still a happy event to make his appearance in the history of the league.

Barkley congratulated with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the Nets for sweeping the Warriors 4-0 to win the championship. Their overall state this year is outstanding and they are the best team in the active league. Lu once again proved his coaching ability, and Just like when he coached the SuperSonics, he brought the team to the championship position in just two years, which is a miracle that other coaches cannot replicate."

Kenny Smith said: "This is only the first championship in the history of the Nets, but no one knows how many championships Lu will lead this team to. He is constantly setting new historical records that belong to him."

Fifteen minutes later, Durant was unanimously elected as the Finals MVP, averaging 30+7+4 per game, without any suspense.

Facing the camera, Adu thanked his relatives, friends and teammates who supported him.

When talking about coach Lu Yong, Durant even said a lot with tears in his eyes, taking the sensational drama of master-student reunion to the extreme.

Lu Yong took the microphone and said a few words briefly. Everyone is destined to fall apart this summer. There is no telling how many people will remain on the team by then. He must prepare in advance.

That night, the sports news was full of news about the Nets winning the championship, and the media praised Lu Yong one after another.

"The Nets' first championship in team history! Coach Lu Yong wins his ninth championship ring in his coaching career!"

"The No. 1 coach in history, the legend continues in Brooklyn!"

"Having ruled the basketball world for more than ten years, there is no dispute about Lu's greatness!" (End of this chapter)
