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

Chapter 74 Is this still the bottom-ranked team in the league last season?Coach Lu is full of magic!
The Clippers attacked, and point guard Cassell passed the ball to Brand for a one-on-one basket.

Szczerbiak is 2 meters tall and weighs 01 kilograms. He is enough to be an ordinary power forward at the fourth position, but he is still at a disadvantage against a top insider like Brand.

Brand stepped on the three-second zone to catch the ball, hit Szczerbiak with his back in the low position, and used his strength to make room for half a step.

In the next second, Brand turned sharply to the middle and made a strong move, relying on Szczerbiak to wipe the board with his left hand and score a layup. 2 to 2.

In this round, it can be seen that Szczerbiak's lack of playing power forward can indeed provide space and firepower on the offensive end, but it is still a little difficult to defend "Captain" Brand alone.

Fortunately, he also has his own advantages on the offensive end. He doesn't need to go to the basket to fight with Brand. He is a tactical guest power forward.

In the positional battle, the players spread around according to the tactics, Joakim Noah took the ball in the middle to support, and the Clippers center Chris Kaman was the main defense.

Power forward Szczerbiak made a screen for Delonte West on the weak side. West accelerated to get rid of Cassel without the ball, and received a Noah ball at 45 degrees from the left.

West's ability to catch and shoot is very strong. When he pulls up from outside the three-point line, it is a three-pointer. Facing the "alien" Cassel's defense, he shoots through the net bag with precision. Whoa! 5 to 2.

"Roar!"

After the goal, West clenched his fists and roared, and raised his left hand high at Lu Yong who was on the bench, as if to thank the head coach for his encouragement.

The game was broadcast live on local TV, and commentator Andre Diaz yelled, "Beautiful! Delonte came out of his teammate's off-ball screen and hit a three-pointer. The Sonics played a great start. I can't believe this." It turned out to be a team that ranked last in the league last season."

Partner Rich Simmons said: "The Supersonics have acquired a lot of rookies with outstanding abilities this summer. Joakim Noah has a good vision of supporting the pass in the middle. Delonte just ran out of the opportunity with his front foot, and he took the opportunity. The ball was passed, and it wasn't like the first year in the pros."

Diaz said with a smile: "Coach Lu's arrival really gave the Sonics a new offensive system. He always looks confident when he stands on the sidelines. I don't know if the Grizzlies management will regret losing a talented assistant coach."

The Clippers attacked, and Maggette ran out of the three-point line and reached for the ball. Facing Durant's single defense and rushing to the basket, the muscles on his thighs were fully tense, and he made an emergency stop jumper in the three-second zone on the right, 5 than 4.

Corey Maggette is 1 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is nicknamed "The Devil's Muscular Man".

Last season, he averaged 16.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1 steal per game. He is the Clippers' most powerful outside offensive player.

Maggette's unicorn arms are sharp and angular, with extremely high muscle separation, and the muscle content on his body is also quite terrifying, which is unforgettable.In head-to-head confrontation, there is hardly any small forward who can stand up to Maggette. Even James has inferior arm muscles in front of him.

It's not surprising that Durant couldn't defend Lu Yong one-on-one. He was too thin when he first entered the league, and even Artest couldn't stand up to a fierce man. It's normal for Adu to be unable to defend.

Supersonic attack, Delonti - West according to the arrangement, passed the ball to Noah after halftime.

Noah held the ball at the free throw line to support him. Although his shooting action was a bit ugly, he had a mid-range shot.

Kaman took a step forward and stretched out his hand to interfere, not daring to completely let go of Noah's point.

When Delonte West came out to catch the ball again with the help of a screen, Cassell and Brand immediately shrank from the left and right sides, blocking his receiving route in advance.

Szczerbiak had an open space at the top of the arc, and Noah held up the pick-and-roll against Brand, and quickly transferred the ball to the outside.

Szczerbiak took the ball and dribbled a step to adjust his position, and easily scored an open three-pointer, whoa! 8 to 4.

Brand was blocked by Joakim Noah with his body, and the distance was far away, so he didn't have time to return to the defense.

The Clippers attacked, Kassel played a pick-and-roll with Kaman in the middle, broke through with the ball, was closely followed by West, and could only distribute the ball to the middle.

Chris Kaman made an air cut and made a strong hit with the ball, but the throw and hit the board while on the move was interfered and missed.

Noah has always been full of passion on the defensive end, and he is honest with Chris Kaman. It is his duty to protect the basket, and it is also what he is best at.

Turning around to protect the backcourt rebound, Noah passed to Durant to launch a counterattack.

Seeing Bunch-Wells riding the dust, Durant, who received the ball in the backcourt, passed the ball immediately without even thinking about it.

Bunche Wells, who has the height of a shooting guard but is actually a forward style, goes straight up, catches the ball in a fast break and slams into the "Old Cat" fiercely, facing Mobley with a violent dunk with both hands!
"boom!"

10:4.

After landing, Bunch Wells beat his chest hard and sprayed trash talk at Mobley. The image of the thorny bandit will always be on the court.

"Old Cat" Mobley is 1 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. He is efficient against an average defensive shooting guard, but the tonnage gap against Bunch-Wells is too big to stand up to.

On the sidelines, Lu Yong got up and slapped his hands vigorously, and slapped Bunche Wells, who was returning to the backcourt. "Nice dunk, man, that's how basketball is supposed to be played!"

Bunch Wells said with a smile: "I now believe that you will be a good coach, a hundred times better than those stupid pigs on the Rockets coaching staff!"

"Jeff Van Gundy's coaching staff? That's really a stupid pig." Lu Yong shrugged and smiled.

In Lu Yong's previous life, Jeff Van Gundy was definitely one of the most hated coaches by Chinese fans. He coached the Rockets for four years and made Yao miserable.

He led the team in the playoffs and never made it to the division finals, and his coaching level has not improved. Like the pig-headed "Rivers", he is a coach who only eats his laurels.

The Clippers attacked, and Maggette received the ball and forced Durant again, sticking his body tightly to the basket, switching his left hand to his right hand, trying to wipe the board and score.

As a result, at the moment Maggette made a layup, Noah, who was defending on the weak side, suddenly came out, and pressed the ball down with a solid pegboard cap.

Chris Kaman failed to grab the rebound. Noah caught the ball with one hand in the air and passed it to West to advance forward after landing.

Noah's defensive mobility was too strong, and Maggette didn't expect that the ball that came to his mouth could be blocked, and his face was full of depression.

The two supersonic players in the frontcourt started a fast break, and Durant attracted Brand's defense and passed it to Bunche Wells who followed up on the weak side.

Wells took the ball and took a step forward, regardless of the "old cat" Mobley beside him, folded the lever in the air to avoid the block, and smashed the ball violently with one hand!

"boom!"

12:4.

Seeing that he was too big, Mobley didn't dare to stretch out his hand, so he could only watch and let Wells score.

The supersonic fans who sat in front of the TV and watched the game all jumped up excitedly. This game was played so beautifully!
The commentator Diaz screamed: "God! Bunch Wells sent another dunk! This round the Sonics played a perfect attack and defense, which was ranked last in the league last season. The team? The counterattack and cooperation are so beautiful!"

Partner Simmons said with a smile: "Coach Lu is full of magic. He can play smoothly in the first game of coaching the Sonics. The offensive firepower is completely different from last season."

Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy sat on the sidelines with a look of surprise. He didn't expect the Sonics, who were not optimistic about the game before the game, to have a terrifying finishing efficiency.

This scene was something he had never expected. It felt like the student who was ranked first in the class suddenly became a top student in the new semester. It was very shocking!

In the next round, Brand fell to the low post and demanded the ball strongly. With his personal ability, he singled out Szczerbiak. He used his strong body to lean on the defender and turned around and scored. 12 to 6.

Brand weighed 125 kilograms, and even Tim Duncan was often deflated from him. Szczerbiak suffered a serious one-on-one defense, so he could only raise his hands to interfere as much as possible.

Lu Yong is well aware of the great disparity in the strength of this group of matchups, but he is not in a hurry to change players.

Because the Supersonics don't have a power forward who can defend against Brand, instead of finding a way to limit this low-post cannonball, it is better to strengthen the offense at the fourth position.

Four minutes later, Clippers head coach Dunleavy Sr. took the lead in calling a timeout.

Replaced with backup point guard Smash Parker, took down the "alien" Cassell, who was weak defensively and barely made much contribution on the offensive end.

Parker is 1 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. Before Kevin Durant won the title of "Reaper", he was already "Reaper".

This guy spent his peak period with the Lakers, averaging 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game. Many fans know him because Parker was a teammate with Kobe.

Domestic fans are familiar with him because Parker later joined the CBA Guangdong Hongyuan team. He has both offense and defense and is a foreign player with strong comprehensive strength.

However, Parker is still playing in the stronger NBA. After leaving the Lakers, his state has plummeted. Joining the Clippers this season can only be used as a substitute, which has little impact on the trend of the game.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Sonics' offensive firepower was still fierce.

Brand was a little slower when defending the pick-and-roll, and Szczerbiak caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, recovering all the missed points in the defensive round, and staged a passionate confrontation with the "captain".

Even Sczerbiak didn't expect that he would be able to attack Brand one day. It can only be said that playing in a suitable offensive system is really comfortable, and he can find a rhythm almost every time he shoots.

Lu Yong also took the time to make substitution adjustments, allowing veteran Michael Finley to take over the positional battle. The three of Wilcox, Landry, and Ridnor cooperated and were still able to play sharp fast-break counterattacks.

Relying on unreasonable catch jump shots and defensive counterattacks, 33 to 25, the Sonics led the Clippers by 8 points to end the first quarter.
