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

Chapter 63 Blasphemy!Lu Yong: Goal for the new season, bring the Supersonics to the playoffs?trade ray allen
Another reporter in the audience asked: "This is the first time in your coaching career as a head coach. What is your goal for the new season?"

"Transforming this talented Sonics into an offensive team will make any opponent feel a headache when they meet us. In addition, I also want to lead the Sonics back to the playoffs and let Seattle fans witness the glory." Lu Yong smiled.

The reporters in the stands were all shocked by Lu Yong's answer.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yong has such great ambitions. He will lead the Sonics back to the playoffs in the first season of coaching. This is an impossible task in everyone's opinion.

Even the general manager Sam Presti was surprised. Although Lu Yong expressed his confidence to lead the team back to the playoffs when he signed the contract, he never thought that it would be this year, let alone take this The kind of promise that sounds like a fantasy is going public.

Because once the goal is made public, the meaning becomes different.

To achieve Lu Yong is a miracle itself, and it is the greatest affirmation of his coaching ability.

But if he can't do it, what he said today will inevitably attract criticism, and he will easily be slapped in the face by himself.

The reporters immediately became excited when they heard the news, like a hungry wild cat seeing a mouse, this is really big news!
A reporter couldn't help asking: "Coach Lu, are you kidding me? The Sonics were the last team in the league last season. It is not ordinary difficult to return to the playoffs in the first year of coaching. Is this an unreasonable demand from management when they hired you?"

"No, it's not, it's just that I am very optimistic about the prospects of the Sonics. There are potential rookies, young players, and experienced veterans in this team. The new season only needs to adjust tactics. The race will definitely pay off.”

Another reporter asked: "Coach Lu, do you know how difficult it is to bring the Sonics to the playoffs?"

"Of course I know, but I don't think the Sonics are a bad team. I believe the team will create miracles in the new season, because everyone can play with less pressure and put more energy into the game." Lu Yong smiled.

The biggest advantage of the Sonics is that the players don't have to bear the pressure to play. Last season, the team's record was the first in the league, and there is no room for regression. Are you afraid of a hammer?

Once a group of wolves who have been hungry for a long time smell the aroma of meat, the energy that this group can burst out must be amazing.

The most important thing is that Lu Yong's joining not only changed the tactical play of the Supersonics in the new season, but also changed the core lineup.

Turning waste into treasure and picking up leaks in transactions are his biggest golden fingers, which can change history if used properly.

Owner Bennett was also stunned. If Lu Yong hadn't just helped the Grizzlies win the championship, and his offensive talent was appreciated by many old coaches in the league, he would have suspected that the team had hired a liar back.

Even he, the boss, doesn't believe that the team will make it to the playoffs next season, let alone the reporters in the audience.

When these words are uttered from the mouth of the youngest head coach in active service, Lu Yong will definitely make headlines tomorrow, and his arrogant tone and attitude will be discussed by the outside world.

This is indeed the case. The press conference had just ended, and the Seattle media reported it like crazy.

The Seattle fans watched the news with excitement, and those who didn't know thought it was Auerbach who came out to take over the coach.

However, no, it was the youngest active young coach in the league who made these promises, and he was also the hero who helped the Grizzlies win the first championship in team history last season.

Although the outside world expressed doubts about Lu Yong's outrageous words, one thing is certain, that is, the Supersonics are popular this summer.

The heat that afternoon was even hotter than the championship team Grizzlies, attracting a large number of fans to watch and eat melons.

General manager Sam Presti was bewildered, and when he returned to the office, the corners of his mouth almost grinned to the back of his ears.

Because this wave of traffic is enough to ensure that the attention of the Supersonics in the new season will be greatly increased. No matter what the team's record is, the Supersonics can realize profits through traffic, and life must be better than last season.

On the first day Lu Yong signed the contract, the Sonics swept away the sluggishness of last season, and they have the vitality to rebuild a sunny road and regain their glory next year.

Although the Supersonics failed to get the No. [-] pick in the lottery, the second pick is also very precious, and it is the most important treasure for a rebuilding team.

As the media reported news about the supersonic, Lu Yong's speech at the press conference was also known to more people.

"Genius assistant coach Lu Yong joined the Supersonics, and the goal of the new season is the playoffs!"

"The youngest head coach in active service is born. Can the Chinese coach lead the team to create miracles?"

"The league's youngest offensive master leaves the Grizzlies coaching staff, Seattle is about to usher in a second spring!"

"Rage! The Grizzlies coaching staff who won the championship showed their arrogance and challenged to bring the team with the worst record in the league into the playoffs!"

Fans who don't know what to say are confused when they see the reports about Lu Yong and the Supersonics. They don't know what's going on with this big team.

With the popularity of the Grizzlies winning the championship, Lu Yong, the youngest head coach in active service, has successfully entered people's field of vision.

Other teams in the league are also paying close attention, analyzing the possibility of the Sonics reaching the playoffs in the new season.

Lu Yong didn't expect that the traffic blowout caused by his rhetoric would be better than he imagined.

In order to gain more popularity and exposure, he can only make a high profile in front of the media, give the players a sample as the head coach, and reshape the Supersonic team culture.

Lu Yong wanted to tell these boys with practical actions that as long as they are willing to risk their lives, there is no miracle that cannot be created.

The league has been advocating offensive basketball for the past two years. Lu Yong is very clear that he is standing in the limelight at this time. Whether he can seize the opportunity to win the league's praise depends on his operation this summer.

The next morning, after the unanimous discussion of the team's management and the nod of Lu Yong, the new head coach, the SuperSonics officially reached a deal with the Celtics.

In this deal, the Sonics still got guard Delonti West, forward Szczerbiak and this year's No. 5 pick in the first round.

Originally, Lu Yong wanted to cheat Tony Allen from the management of the Green Army, but Angie's old fox was too smart, it was not easy to take advantage of him, and he still failed after a long time of wrangling.

Tony Allen's data last season has increased to 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals. He is a player selected by the Celtics themselves, and he is definitely unwilling to let go.

But if this deal had been made a year earlier, Lu Yong would have been able to fool the old man An Ji into limping, and cheating him out of his underpants.

It's a pity that he didn't get Tony Allen for nothing, but Lu Yong is not greedy. After all, Tony Allen's shooting in this period is too bad. His three-point shooting percentage is only 24.2%, and he can't grasp the open opportunities.

If he really wants to replace Delonte West as the bargaining chip with Tony Allen, Lu Yong will not be surprised, but will jump angrily.

Isn't this a fucking Andre Roberson on defense?
Durant has already been slammed once in the parallel world, and Lu Yong doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, let alone train a 4v5 offensive team, sitting on the sidelines and pissing himself off.

His goal is to lead the team to achieve results next season. West's immediate combat power is the best sixth man level, and his shooting level above the league average can also play a huge role in the offensive system. Under Lu Yong Much easier to play than Tony Allen.

Lu Yong would definitely accept the free whoring, but if there is a price to pay, Tony Allen before he grew up is obviously not worth it.

Unlike the parallel world, the Sonics did not send the No. 35 pick to Boston in the end.

This year's draft has a good success rate. In the second round alone, there are many players who can play their worth. Naturally, Lu Yong will not give up the No. 35 pick.

The 35th pick in the total round and the 5th pick in the second round are not low, and staying in Lu Yong's hands can play a huge role. This year's draft is destined to belong to the Supersonics. Second shot!
