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

Chapter 46 First round sweep!Old Spurs?The average age is close to that of O'Neill's grandma?
The next few games also had no suspense. The Grizzlies swept the Hornets 4-0 and advanced to the semifinals.

Tyson Chandler can grab rebounds and play hard enough on the court, but he lacks scoring ability and can only be regarded as a championship puzzle at best.

The second-best player David West is completely different from the regular season. He played poorly in the first round of the playoffs, averaging only 12.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. It is hard to imagine that this guy was almost selected into the Western Conference All-Star this year.

The Hornets played the most stable in this round of the series is Paul, averaging 16.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2 steals per game, shooting 43.7% from the field, not brilliant, but already the best performer of the Hornets.

Unfortunately, in the third game of the Paul series, he suffered a muscle strain on his inner thigh when he saved a throw-in. G4 did not appear on the field, and he sat on the sidelines and watched the team lose 47 points.

Lu Yong sometimes thinks that fate is very magical, and the operation of life and death battles and injuries is very Paul.

It's no wonder that "58 Cannon" didn't get a championship until 15 years later, and I can only blame myself for being too disappointing.

The Grizzlies scored more than 113 points in all four games in the first round, and scored [-] points in the least game.

Byron Scott's old face was swollen, and he could only falter and quibble in an interview, bluntly saying that the offense can't win the championship, and only an invincible defense can go further in the playoffs.

However, this guy can't even tell nonsense with his eyes open, completely forgetting that the Grizzlies' defensive efficiency in the regular season ranks among the top five in the league.

It's just that the offensive firepower is too strong, it is easy to forget that this Grizzlies is actually a team with both offense and defense.

Lu Yong is in a good mood. Every time the Grizzlies win another round in the playoffs, there will be more teams for him to choose this summer.

Now I don't know how many managements of the big teams are staring at him, just wait for his season to end and invite Lu Yong to become the team's head coach.

The other rounds of matchups in the West were also decided one after another. The Mavericks swept the Jazz 4-0.

The Jazz's highest scorer is power forward Carlos Boozer, who averaged 20.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which is a legacy of this year's All-Star Game.

But entering the playoffs, he was blown away by his opponent Nowitzki.

四场数据只有17分9篮板2助攻，投篮命中率不足45%，比常规赛下降了12个百分点。

The current Boozer is still very strong, but it is a pity that his mental quality is not good in the playoffs for the first time in his career, and it is not surprising that he messed up.

In addition to the big center Mehmet Okur who has championship experience, the Jazz has an eye-catching performance of 16.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3 assists. Even Deron Williams played abnormally.

Compared with the regular season, the three data have all declined, and the shooting percentage is 42.1%. It is also the first year to play in the playoffs.

The Suns eliminated the Rockets 4-1.

McGrady led the team to victory with 1 points, 32 rebounds and 5 assists in G6. Unfortunately, he was injured in the second game, leaving Dayao alone to lead the team to support.

姚明系列赛5场发挥都很稳健，G1赢球砍下24分14篮板3助攻4封盖，禁区内一手遮天，激战太阳双塔不落下风。

However, after McGrady was injured, Dayao was no match for four hands.

Even if they can average 22.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.6 blocks in the first round, they still cannot escape the fate of the first round of the playoffs.

The Spurs defeated the Nuggets 4-1 and will face the Grizzlies in the second round.

Tim Duncan is in his second spring, averaging 24 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks per game, shooting 55.6% from the field, blowing up the data brush Marcus Camby, and making him the league's block king. .

Manu Ginobili and Parker also performed very stably, averaging more than 16 points per game, and they are also one of the few players in this old Spurs who can score in double figures.

The butterfly effect instigated by Lu Yong caused a series of changes. The Mavericks avoided being staged by the Warriors in the first round, and the Rockets did not encounter their lifelong enemy, the Jazz. The fate of the cruise.

In the parallel world, the Mavericks met the eighth-ranked Warriors in the Western Conference in the first round, and were eliminated by the Warriors 4-2 by the Warriors, and staged the third "Black Eight Miracle" in NBA history.

The atmosphere of the two teams in the game was very unfriendly, because Don Nelson, who was the head coach of the Warriors at the time, was the coach of the Mavericks last season.

Now, the old Nelson has lost the chance to lead the team to the black eight, and there is one less miracle in the league.

When the old Nelson is no longer the most talked about magical coach this summer, Lu Yong has undoubtedly become the darling of the coaching world. He is followed by all teams and is the first goal of the summer rebuilding team.

After the first round of the playoffs, experts predicted the second round, and most people are still optimistic about the Grizzlies.

The Spurs fell in the second round of the playoffs last season and were eliminated by the Mavericks 4-3 in the tiebreaker.

In the new season, the Spurs have played against the Grizzlies 3 times in the regular season, with 1 win and 2 losses at a disadvantage. They only won the Grizzlies by 4 points in total. It seems that the chances of winning are not great.

The Spurs' paper lineup this year has barely changed from last season, and it's even technically weakened.

The starting center Mohammed was poached by the Pistons, and the new big center Francisco Elson is too weak, averaging 5 points and 5 rebounds per game.

The Spurs' ability to maintain competitiveness in the regular season is mainly due to defense, with an average of 92.1 points per game, ranking fourth in the league.

Their offense is not very good, with an average of less than 98.5 points per game, only 14 points, ranking [-]th in the league.

Even with star guards Tony Parker, Ginobili, and historical power forward Tim Duncan, it is difficult for this old Spurs to beat their opponents with offense.

The reason is that the head coach Popovich hates players shooting too many three-pointers. The team averaged only 13.4 three-pointers per game, 4.7 hits, and a 35.3% hit rate.

The Grizzlies can only score 3 three-pointers per game with Mike Miller alone.

Of course, the reason why experts are not optimistic about the Spurs has nothing to do with the three-pointer, but mainly because the depth of the Spurs' lineup is too poor.

Only the troika scored in double figures this year, and the other role players scored in single digits.

Brent Barry is a good bench scorer, but at the age of 36, he is older than the Grizzlies assistant coach Lu Yong. He must be at a disadvantage against the Grizzlies' young and energetic guys. He can finish this round of the series alive Even if it is successful, let alone an explosive hero.

Gasol also has an obvious advantage against Spurs center Elson. This Dutch big man with a height of 2 meters and a weight of 13 kg is too rough.

Lu Yong was afraid that after the first round of the series, he would be tricked by Gasol's fake moves until there was no pants left, and he left the field with an average of six fouls per game.

Unless Popovich lets Duncan guard Gasol, no one inside the Spurs can stop the newly promoted MVP.

But having said that, once Duncan faces Jiasao on the defensive end, the pressure on his offensive and defensive ends will increase, and his physical energy consumption will also increase significantly.

For this old Spurs whose average age is close to that of O'Neill's grandma, physical fitness is a hurdle that they can't overcome anyway.

Lu Yong thinks that the Grizzlies have an obvious advantage in this round of the series, because the team likes to play against slow teams. As long as they speed up and run, the veterans of the Spurs will have to shed their skins even if they don't die. It is much more uncomfortable than playing against the Nuggets in the first round. up.

The bigger gap is the outside scoring of the two teams, and the Grizzlies rank first in the league in three-point conversion rate.

He averaged 31 three-pointers per game, and made 12 of them, with a shooting percentage of 38.7%. Even he was afraid of shooting crazy, which didn't make sense at all.
