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

(Daily plot, if you don’t like the boss, you can skip the subscription.)
The next morning, the sun shined through the cracks in the curtains on Lu Yong's face.

He opened his eyes drowsily and saw the text message on his phone: "Meet you at the coffee shop at 10 o'clock today."

The information comes from his rumored girlfriend Hannah Murray. In the last game against the Heat, Hannah was captured on the big screen coming to watch the game.

When this guy has time to come to Brooklyn, besides watching the game, he probably wants to see him.

Otherwise, she was recently filming in Los Angeles. Wouldn't it be closer to go to a Lakers game?
Thinking of this, Lu Yong woke himself up, jumped out of bed, and began to dress himself up carefully.

I chose a dark blue suit and paired it with a pair of shiny leather shoes, which made me look energetic and handsome.

At this time, Hannah was also busy in the hotel.

She chose a simple yet fashionable dress, paired with a pair of high heels, which looked elegant and generous. He even put on exquisite makeup for himself, hoping to make Lu Yong's eyes shine.

The two arrived at the coffee shop almost at the same time.

Lu Yong opened the door and saw Hannah already sitting at the window seat. The sunlight was shining on her body, as if she was covered with a golden halo.

He walked over, gently pulled out the chair, and sat opposite Hannah.

"Congratulations on leading the team to a victory over the Heat." Hannah spoke first, her voice sweet and gentle.

"No big deal, this is also a team effort." Lu Yong responded with a smile.

The two began to chat about the game. Hannah knew a lot about basketball. She also listened with interest when Lu Yong spoke, making sounds of admiration and surprise from time to time.

Lu Yong was amused by her sometimes exaggerated reactions, although he knew that Hannah was trying to please him and was a little cautious.

But who can refuse a good and considerate sister?

"You know? When I was watching the game last night, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating," Hannah said. "Especially when the Heat were chasing points, I was afraid that they would gain momentum."

Lu Yong looked at her excited look and couldn't help but joked: "It seems that you are still not confident enough in the strength of the Nets."

"Of course not." Hannah said with a smile, "It's just that the Heat team is so fighting. I actually admire it."

The two were chatting happily, and the waiter brought them the coffee and desserts they ordered.

Lu Yong picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Hannah: "Try this, their cakes are particularly delicious."

Hannah took the cake, took a bite, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "It's really delicious! You should try it too!"

The two shared the delicious food and enjoyed this rare leisure time.

They chatted about each other's work and life, and there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.

Hannah was constantly amused by Lu Yong's humor and fun, and Lu Yong was also impressed by Hannah's "smartness" and "cuteness".

Time passed by unconsciously, and it was already noon in a blink of an eye.

Lu Yong looked at his watch and suggested, "Would you like to go shopping nearby? There are many interesting shops and works of art here."

"Okay!" Hannah agreed happily.

The two walked out of the cafe hand in hand and strolled along the street.

I visited one small shop after another, admiring all kinds of unique artworks and decorations.

Hannah took a fancy to an exquisite little ornament, and Lu Yong bought it and gave it to her.

Women are so troublesome. Hannah is obviously a star and worth a lot of money, but she still likes such ridiculously cheap little things.

And it must be Lu Yong who buys it as a gift for her, as if this is the only way it makes more sense.

"It's really beautiful! Thank you!" Hannah said happily taking the ornament.

"As long as you like it." Lu Yong said with a smile.

The two continued to stroll around when they suddenly heard a commotion.

They followed the sound and found that there were people crowding in front of them.

It turned out to be street performers performing acrobatics.

"Let's go take a look." Hannah excitedly took Lu Yong's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

The two stood in the crowd watching the performance, exclaiming and applauding from time to time.

After the artist finished his performance, they also clapped and cheered with everyone.

"Today is another happy day!" Hannah said with emotion, "Thank you for spending such a wonderful day with me."

After Lu Yong and Hannah finished their pleasant shopping trip, Hannah's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from her friend.

"Hey, honey, where are you now?" The model friend's voice was full of energy, "I have a small party here, will you come with me? Gillian is also here."

Hannah glanced at Lu Yong and asked, "Can we go together? My friend invited us to have dinner together."

Lu Yong smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course, I'm looking forward to meeting your friends."

The fatigue of shopping was easily brushed away by the invitation for a delicious meal. Hannah and Lu Yong joined hands and walked into the restaurant that was talked about by friends.

The soft lighting in the restaurant creates a warm and romantic atmosphere, which is in sharp contrast to the bustling city outside the window.

"Hannah! You're finally here!" A warm greeting broke the tranquility of the restaurant, and a tall, fashionably dressed woman walked towards them. It was Hannah's model friend Lisa.

Next to her was a lady with exquisite makeup and a gentle temperament, the makeup artist Jillian.

"Let me introduce, this is Lu Yong, the head coach of the NBA Nets." Hannah proudly introduced Lu Yong, as if he was some kind of honor for her.

"I have long admired you, Coach Lu!" Lisa and Jillian said in unison, with admiration shining in their eyes.

Although they work in different industries, they all have a strong interest in the sport of basketball, and they are even more enthusiastic about basketball celebrities like Lu Yong.

After the four people sat down, the waiter in the restaurant handed over the menu. Lisa ordered a few signature dishes with ease, and did not forget to ask Lu Yong and Hannah about their tastes. Lu Yong smiled and said that he had no taboos, while Hannah winked mischievously and said, "I'm a foodie! Have a portion of any delicious food!"

While waiting for the food to be served, the four of them chatted.

Lisa shared some interesting anecdotes about her time in the fashion industry, while makeup artist Jillian talked about her various experiences doing makeup for celebrities.

Their words were full of love for life and reverence for their profession, which made Lu Yong look at them with admiration.

"Actually, I have always been curious, what is your daily work as a model and makeup artist?" Lu Yong asked curiously.

"Oh, Coach Lu, you asked about our pain point!" Lisa said exaggeratedly, covering her chest, "Our usual job is to keep changing clothes, putting on makeup, and taking photos. Sometimes there are several people at one stop. When I was young, I was so tired that my back ached."

"That's right!" Jillian also echoed, "And we have to always pay attention to changes in fashion trends and continue to learn and innovate. Sometimes for a perfect makeup, we have to try and modify it over and over again until we meet the customer's requirements. until."

After hearing this, Lu Yong couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that your work is so hard. I thought you just posed and put on makeup in front of the camera every day and that was it."

"Haha, Coach Lu, you are totally wrong!" Lisa said with a smile, "We have to rely on our strength to make a living! Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold in the highly competitive fashion industry?"

While the four of them were chatting happily, the dishes were served one after another. The delicious food with all its colors and flavors made the four of them excited, and they all picked up their knives and forks to taste it. Hannah ate with gusto, and didn't forget to pick up some food for Lu Yong: "This is delicious, try it!"

Accompanied by delicious food, the atmosphere between the four of them became less cramped. Everyone teased and joked with each other as if they had been friends for many years. Lu Yong also put aside his usual seriousness and reserve and laughed with them.

After the meal, Lu Yong drove Hannah to the airport.

He did not go to the arena, but directly handed over the training to Atkinson, and acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and went home to rest.

The second matchup between the Nets and the Heat will begin tomorrow. Although he doesn't have to play in person, sitting on the sidelines is very tiring.

Be lazy when you should be lazy. Atkinson is already a mature assistant coach. Lu Yong plans to train him to be the next head coach of the Nets after retirement.

Appropriate delegation of power is beneficial to Atkinson's control of the team. Lu Yong still recognizes his coaching level and ability.

The next morning, outside the Nets locker room, media reporters had already set up their spears and cannons, waiting for the protagonists to appear.

The door slowly opened, and Nets head coach Lu Yong walked out first, followed by the team's two core players Durant and Porzingis.

Lu Yong stood in front of the camera with firm and confident eyes. "I know the Heat's strength cannot be underestimated," he said, "but we are ready. The victory in the last game is just the beginning, and our goal is to keep moving forward."

When asked how to deal with the Heat's possible counterattack, Lu Yong smiled and said: "I respect every player of the Heat, but we also have our own game plan. We will stick to our own rhythm and make decisions based on the situation on the court. Adjustment. I believe that as long as the Nets perform normally, no team in the league can say that they can definitely beat us."

Durant took the microphone, and his tone was also full of determination: "The Nets will stay focused and will not relax just because of a victory. The Heat are a resilient team, but we are not afraid of any challenges."

When asked about his personal status, Durant replied: "I feel very good, both physically and mentally. Of course, basketball is a team sport, and individual status is important, but more important is team collaboration. We will continue to strengthen our mutual understanding and trust and work towards common goals."

Porzingis seemed more relaxed. He smiled and said: "Of course, the game will be difficult, but we are confident. Our teamwork is getting better and better, and I believe we can win again."

"Defense wins championships. This is a truth we all know. I will focus more and work harder on the defensive end to prevent the Heat from scoring easily. At the same time, we will also play our own style and characteristics on the offensive end and strive to take the initiative in the game. ."

On the Heat side, the atmosphere during the interview was slightly solemn.

Head coach Spoelstra looked serious in front of the camera: "We cannot let the loss in the last game affect our confidence," he said seriously, "The Nets are an excellent team, but we also have our own advantages. .We need to play our style and stay the course."

When reporters questioned the players' performance, Spoelstra stood firmly in front of the players. "I know there are a lot of doubts and criticisms about us from the outside world, but in my eyes, these players are warriors. They have enough strength and potential to defeat any opponent. I believe they will prove themselves in the next games."

Butler, the leader of the Heat, has fighting spirit burning in his eyes. "I know the outside world may not think highly of us, but I don't care. I like fighting in adversity and this will be our chance to prove ourselves."

As one of the team's leaders, Butler knows he has a heavy responsibility. "Leadership is not only reflected in statistics such as points or assists on the field, but more importantly, being able to lead teammates forward at critical moments. I will do my best to do this and fight for our team and victory. "

Adebayor chose a more direct way to express his determination: "We are fully prepared, both tactically and psychologically. I know this game is very important to us, and the Heat will win Give your best to meet challenges.”

"The team has to bounce back, that's it. Everyone will try to do better on the defensive end, and at the same time find our rhythm on the offensive end. We are not afraid of the Nets and are ready."

As the statements of the coaches and players of the two teams ended, the smoke before the game became more intense.

The competition between the two teams is about to begin.

This game is destined to be full of passion, and the final result depends on the actual performance of both sides on the court.

Half past six in the evening.

The second game of the series between the Nets and the Heat came as scheduled.

The lights gradually turned on, illuminating every corner.

Fans began to pour into the stadium, their cheers and shouts one after another, creating a tense and enthusiastic atmosphere. However, amidst all the noise, one place seemed particularly quiet, and that was the warm-up area in the center of the court.

Durant stood on the sidelines, holding the ball with both hands and looking intently at the basket. He dribbled the ball gently, feeling every contact between the basketball and the ground, as if searching for the best shooting rhythm.

Porzingis was stretching on the other side of the court. His movements were slow and powerful, and every detail revealed the importance he attached to the game.

The other players of the Nets are not idle either. They are either practicing running to the basket or practicing passing. Everyone is adjusting their condition in their own way.

Although they didn't say much, it could be seen from their eyes and actions that they were full of confidence in the upcoming game.

At the same time, the Heat players are also warming up.

Although they lost to the Nets in the last game, there were not many disappointed expressions on their faces at this moment. On the contrary, they looked very serious and focused, as if they wanted to use this warm-up to regain their lost confidence.

Butler was one of the first players on the Heat to warm up, standing outside the three-point line and shooting three-pointers continuously. Every shot seemed very hard, as if he wanted to vent all his emotions on the basketball.

Adebayor performed hook training in the interior. His movements were light and flexible, and he accurately hit the basket every time he took a shot.

Other Heat players are also working hard on warm-up training and silently preparing for their games.

The expressions of the Heat were serious and determined, as if to tell people that they had not given up and that they still had the confidence to challenge powerful opponents.

There was an indescribable atmosphere of tension in the air, which allowed everyone present to feel the intensity and cruelty of the upcoming game.

Lu Yong glanced at Brunson who was practicing a long three-pointer in the center circle.

He seemed a bit different in the whole game, but I have to say that Brunson's shooting percentage during the warm-up was indeed very accurate.

It seems that he feels good tonight and is expected to explode in the G2 game. (End of chapter)
