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

Chapter 55 Finals prefix, against the Cavaliers?Lu Yong: I am more relaxed, I am not worried at all..
Swift is the surprise player of the Grizzlies this round of the series, and he has done a good job of defending Nowitzki on the defensive end.

The average of 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks per game is very comprehensive, and he has made great contributions to the team's victory in the division championship.

这场至关重要的G5他出战36分钟，9投6中，三分球1中0，罚球2中1，得到13分7篮板1助攻2抢断2封盖，攻防两端都交出了完美表现。

Another hero is Mike Miller, who hit a key three-pointer at the end and killed the game. He played 37 minutes and made 16 of 9 shots, 11 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 29 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. , shooting 56.3 from the field, playing steadily.

当家球星保罗-加索尔表现一般，14投6中，罚球7中5，得到17分9篮板4助攻1封盖，这轮系列赛带给球迷的惊喜不如二当家米勒。

A total of 6 Grizzlies scored in double figures. "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire was the hero who stood out tonight, with 24 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. The number of turnovers was controlled to 3 times. The efficiency was much higher than the previous games. few.

替补席上，盖伊10分4篮板、埃迪琼斯12分4篮板2助攻1抢断、洛瑞7分3篮板3助攻，都交出了不俗表现。

On the Mavericks side, only three players scored in double figures.

诺维斯基23投9中，三分球5中1，罚球4中4，得到23分8篮板2助攻1盖帽，命中率39.1%。

Throughout the series, Nowitzki's shooting percentage was only 38.6%. The scoring data is not low, but the efficiency is extremely poor.

约什霍华德18投9中，三分球6中3，罚球3中3，拿下24分7篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽，不仅是小牛得分最多的人，同样也是效率最高的球员。

Josh Howard missed the Western Conference All-Star this year, but with his performance in the playoffs, he will definitely be able to re-sign a big contract with the team in the summer.

Even if you choose to test the free market, Howard is still in demand, and there will be no less than one team in the league interested in him.

All the Grizzlies fans at home were in a state of turmoil. After the game, they were still reluctant to leave, standing in their seats and cheering loudly for the home team.

Memphis fans have been waiting for this day for a long time. They all know that the team is going to win the championship this year, and [-]% of them will be a season that will be recorded in history.

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines and looked at Nowitzki, not knowing whether to be happy for him or sad for him.

Avoiding the notorious Black Eight Miracle made his career less stained, but the only regular season MVP was cut off by Gasol, which also caused Nowitzki's historical status to plummet.

Nuo Tianwang without the MVP of the regular season, even if he leads his team to win the championship in the future, it will be difficult to reach the altar like his previous life.

Lu Yong is very curious whether Nowitzki in this life will stick to one man, one city, and whether Mavericks owner Cuban will still value his comeback.

At the press conference after the game, "Little General" Johnson said with a look of frustration: "The Grizzlies are a very good team. They have the most terrifying lineup depth in the league, and the coaching staff is also top-notch. I am optimistic about it." The Grizzlies have won the title this season, and they deserve it."

When Nowitzki was asked by reporters about his 1-4 exit in the series, he quickly adjusted his mentality. "This is the playoffs. Just as we swept the Grizzlies last season to advance, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Now I just want to invest in the holidays and strive for a better performance next year."

For the Grizzlies, head coach Fratello looked confident in an interview. "I am very happy that we won the Western Conference Finals series. For Memphis fans, this is a historic moment and a memorable day. We are confident to win the championship, and the players are ready."

Competitive sports are winners and losers. From the moment the Grizzlies qualify for the division, the Mavericks have become a thing of the past.

The media will only discuss the Grizzlies and Cavaliers next, and analyze who has the better chance of winning the championship.

The Grizzlies got four days of rest after qualifying. On June 6, the first game of the finals will be played at the Memphis Arena, with a 1-2-3 schedule.

On the first day of the holiday, Lu Yong decisively turned off his cell phone.

Lying in the apartment and sleeping comfortably, he didn't pay attention to the countless incoming call notifications on his mobile phone.

After defeating the Mavericks, he relaxed a lot, and the big rock in his heart also fell to the ground.

The Grizzlies that entered the finals are well-deserved overlords, and they can have the upper hand without any suspense against any team in the East.

If it is the defending champion Heat who made it to the finals this year, perhaps the Grizzlies will still encounter some troubles, and the game may even be dragged into a tiebreaker.

But when the Eastern Conference team that broke into the Finals was the same young Cleveland Cavaliers, Lu Yong really wasn't worried at all.

A 4-0 sweep is his psychological expectation. This round of the series will only play a maximum of five games. The Grizzlies, who have won 64 games in the regular season, have no reason to lose at all.

Even though LeBron James played a successful season this year, averaging 27.3 points, 6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game, the data is very comprehensive, but this young Cavaliers team is full of flaws, and Lu Yong wants to strangle the core players. Attacking is simply not too difficult.

In the parallel world, the Cavaliers who reached the finals were shaved 4-0 by the experienced Spurs.

James, who ranked third in the MVP list in the regular season, was crazily targeted. His scoring average dropped to 22 points per game, and his shooting percentage was only a poor 35.6%, which was far below the season average.

What's even more tragic is that among the Cavaliers' rotation players in the entire series, only power forward Drew Gooden and backup center Varejao shot more than 50%, and the others all shot less than 5%.

The shooting percentage of the main core is all lower than 4%, including the 2-meter-tall "Big Z" Ilgauskas, who has a shooting percentage of 21% after four games, averaging 35.1 points per game on 9.3 shots, and his performance is poor.

This sounds unbelievable, but the overall strength of this Cavaliers team is indeed very poor. It can only be said that the Eastern Conference has dropped out collectively if it can reach the finals all the way.

If this Cavaliers team is placed in the West, the semifinals are his sky, and it is not easy to advance to the first round.

Lu Yong was awakened by a rush of phone calls.

It wasn't the cell phone that he had turned to silent mode, but the phone not far from the bed.

After connecting, the voice of head coach Fratello came from the other end of the phone.

"Lu, are you still up?"

"No, I was just about to get up." Lu Yong sat up and stretched, only to realize that he had slept until ten o'clock in the morning.

"It's just right, let's go out and have a meal together, I want to talk to you about the finals."

Fratello is now focused on the game. He stayed up all night last night. In addition to the excitement after defeating the Mavericks, he was also uneasy about coaching the finals for the first time in his career.

He called Lu Yong at six o'clock in the morning, but Lu Yong simply shut down the phone.

Can wait until now to find a way to contact Lu Yong, this guy has made great progress, and finally knows how hard it is to be considerate of overtime dogs.

"OK, it's still the same place."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yong simply washed his face.

After getting dressed and going downstairs, it took only 5 minutes to walk to the restaurant where the two met last time.

As soon as he came in, Lu Yong saw Fratello frowning.

From a distance, it looks like he is sitting in a wheelchair, but when he gets closer, he is not. This guy is simply short-legged. No wonder he was nicknamed "Dwarf Tiger" by fans.

Fratello sat on the seat looking haggard, Lu Yong walked from behind and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mike, the team has already reached the finals, why do you still have this expression?"

Fratello smiled wryly: "Of course I'm worried about the finals. Although we won two games against the Cavaliers in the regular season, we were facing LeBron James' team. I was a little worried."

"Don't worry, Mike, the Cavaliers' style of play is too monotonous. Their biggest advantage is LeBron at the small forward position, but it is LeBron who limits their winning. Do you think it's scary at the hands of a player?"

Fratello likes Lu Yong's arrogance because it makes him feel at ease.

Lu Yong's evaluation of the Cavaliers hit the nail on the head. The Grizzlies played typical team basketball. On the other hand, the Cavaliers had to rely on James alone to let go of the swing, and other players were automatically relegated to the second tier.

The Grizzlies double-teamed Nowitzki in the Western Conference Finals series, showing the tactical quality of this team.

What the Grizzlies are most afraid of this season is star singles. The defensive end is very good at targeting stars, and the style of the ball can defeat the Cavaliers.

Fratello said: "The Cavaliers have good offensive firepower in the regular season, but the only person who can control the ball is LeBron. Focus on contact, execute single defense against him, focus on double-teaming big center Ilgauskas, what do you think?"

"As I thought, the Cavaliers rely on LeBron James' breakthrough points to launch the offense. Instead of double-teaming him in the Cavaliers' arms, it is better to cut off the connection between him and his teammates and force him to shoot in the middle and long distances. Ilgauskas The height advantage is obvious, so it is necessary to double-team him, as for the offensive firepower of the others, it is difficult to change the situation of the battle even if they make good shots.”

Lu Yong ate his hamburger with a smile, and quickly reached an agreement with Fratello to set the idea of ​​​​the finals against the Cavaliers.
