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

Chapter 78 Awaken the passion of Seattle fans!Bunch - Wells; something he is really on ah!
Lu Yong made sports news headlines the next day, following the strong rise of the Sonics.

The opening game of the new season beat the Los Angeles Clippers, which greatly increased the confidence of Seattle fans in Lu Yong and rekindled hope.

In order to awaken the passion of the city, the Seattle media even praised Lu Yong through many large-scale news reports.

He is said to be the behind-the-scenes hero behind the Grizzlies winning the championship last season. Under his coaching, the Supersonics will definitely be full of vitality in the future.

Fans also began to discuss Lu Yong's coaching level on the Internet.

If only the Supersonics won the first game, it would not be enough to prove that Lu Yong is a qualified team coach, but the disastrous defeat of the Grizzlies in the opening game that day made this matter interesting.

With Lu Yong, the Sonics scored an explosive output of 125 points, while the defending champion Grizzlies, without Lu Yong, only scored 89 points, and were slaughtered by 23 points by last year's defeat in the playoffs, the Mavericks.

It all happened by such a coincidence that it is hard not to remind fans of Lu Yong's title of "Offensive Master".

On the morning of the 2nd, everyone from the Sonics came to Golden State by plane to challenge the Golden State Warriors led by Nelson in an away game.

He simply arranged shooting training during the day, and the continuous non-stop away games made people feel tired, so there was no need to increase the amount of training.

In his hotel room, he got a call from general manager Sam Presti.

"Lu, we must play hard tonight and try to win another victory. Recently, the enthusiasm of Seattle fans is very high. If we can take advantage of this wave and play a wave of winning streak, we really don't have to worry about home attendance!" Presti exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't worry, the players and I will go all out. The Sonics' offensive firepower will usher in a blowout this season. Fans will definitely like to watch the game live."

Lu Yong is confident that the Sonics will become a team with the top five offensive firepower in the league.

When a group of passionate young people meet a coach who knows how to adapt, no one dares to underestimate this talented Sonics team.

The Warriors received good reviews from the outside world this season. Because of the rise of the 05 rookie Monta Ellis, the team traded away the "Slam Dunk King" Jason Richardson in the summer, and officially confirmed the core of the new team.

Under the guidance of the famous coach Nelson, the Warriors' offensive firepower is the strongest group in the league, ranking fourth last season, a typical team that relies on offense to win.

It's a pity that the main reason why the Warriors still struggle to win while playing a perfect offense is their poor defense.

This is an extremely polarized team. Once the offense misfires, the team is not stable and often loses some incredible games.

The Warriors' inside center is Biedrins. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms.

Lu Yong knows this because his free throw posture is a unique sight, the free throw movement is slightly out of joint, pushed from the shoulder, and the hit rate is terrible.

Among them, the performance in the second year of his career was even more weird, and his free throw percentage was less than half of his field goal percentage.

That night, in the visiting team's locker room.

Lu Yong called the players in front of him, emphasizing the offense.

"The tactics are still the same. Play more passes and cuts in positional battles, cross screens on the weak side to look for shooting opportunities, make quick moves when you have the opportunity, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. If the opponent's return to defense is fast, try to find Jokin as steadily as possible and let him arc. Hold the ball and support, don't be counterattacked by the Warriors."

Turning his head to look at Tony Brown, Lu Yong waved his hand and said, "Tony, you can emphasize defense again."

The Supersonic's defensive tactics are arranged by Tony Brown. He has learned a lot from studying with Fratello for a year. Although he can't completely replicate Fratello's defensive system, he still has strength.

The defensive formation that Brown emphasized tonight is mainly man-to-man. Except for Noah, everyone else should try to attack the outside line as much as possible, and don't give the Warriors players an easy shot.

The Warriors are the team that takes the most three-pointers in the league except for the Sonics. It is necessary to block the outside line. Once the Warriors are allowed to shoot, even the Celtics, who are sitting on the Big Three, dare not say that they are guaranteed to win.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the starting lineups of the two teams played on time.

Supersonic five: Delonti - West, Bunch - Wells, Durant, Szczerbiak, Noah.

Warriors five: Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Biedrins.

Judging from the paper lineup, the Warriors are very strong, but in fact, a ball is not enough to play in the hands of the three brothers on the outside. The lineup is not reasonable enough, and the typical reputation is greater than the strength.

Baron Davis and "Martial Saint" Jackson are all long-established stars with high hearts and pride. How could they be willing to be green leaves for a newcomer like Monta Ellis?

The Warriors' offensive end is singles with three guns and sticks from the outside. The tactical system is not only shooting but counterattacking. It is similar to the Supersonics, but the team cooperation is much worse. They belong to two playing styles in the same genre.

The Sonics also have some problems, but they were all solved by Lu Yong in the preseason.

After six games in the preseason, they finally came up with a reasonable starting lineup, which perfectly staggered the playing time of the rookies.

Noah and Biedrins won with a jump ball in the middle circle, and the Sonics took the lead.

Delonte West dribbles upfield, passes to Joakim Noah and runs the other side to open the floor.

West is a player with distinctive characteristics. He plays strictly according to Lu Yong's arrangement. His role is a three-point assassin, and he rarely does things that he is not good at.

Noah held the ball in the middle to observe his teammates, dribbled two steps and moved up, blocked the "Martial Saint" Jackson's pursuit with his body, helped Durant run out of opportunities and then passed the ball.

Durant made an easy shot at the top of the arc, and the three-pointer hit Lan Xin steadily, whoa! 3 to 0.

After the goal, Durant slapped Noah. This tactic is not difficult when the two often play together in training.

As long as you don't get caught by the referee and blow the screen, the occasional hit can always create a good shot.

The Warriors attacked, Baron Davis played a pick-and-roll with Biedrins at the top of the arc, and went to the right to break through and was blocked by West ahead of time.

Delonte West is not considered a defensive champion, but he won because of his positive attitude. He did not lose his position in this round and defended very well.

When the 95-kilogram Baron Davis tried to forcefully kill the basket with his body, Szczerbiak on the weak side stepped up in time, and teamed up with West to keep Davis firmly in the middle.

Davis's position will be seriously disturbed no matter whether he throws or jumps, he can only helplessly transfer the ball to the outside.

As a result, Monta Ellis slipped his hand when he rushed out to catch the ball, and was directly cut off by Bunche Wells in front of him, and took advantage of the opportunity to play a sharp fast-break counterattack.

Bunche-Wells accelerated to the frontcourt, took a step inside the free throw line and jumped high, gliding for a distance in the air, and scored a violent dunk with both hands!

"boom!"

5:0.

The rushing Bunche-Wells was like a heavy tank. Few people on the back line could hold him back. Ellis followed behind and didn't dare to foul. The mistake was directly converted into a score.

"Beautiful cut!"

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines and took the lead in applauding. The Supersonics played their own characteristics in these two rounds, shooting + fast break, just what he wanted to see.

The Warriors were attacking, and "Warrior Saint" Jackson reached out for the ball after halftime. Seeing that Durant was thin and weak, he decisively held the ball and singled it out.

However, before he could push Durant to the basket, Bunch Wells' help defense rushed up.

The fierce defensive style is very oppressive, successfully interfered with Jackson's jumper, and the rebound was protected by Joakim Noah.

The Supersonics took the opportunity to push the fast break again, and Bunch Wells alone attracted two Warriors players to mark him, stepping on the free throw line and quickly dividing the ball to the right 45 degrees.

Szczerbiak was a step slower in the fast break. When he ran to the three-point line to catch the ball, there was no one in front of him.

"Shh!"

The Supersonics scored another three-pointer from the outside!

8 is better than 0!

At the beginning of the game, the Sonics played super offensive firepower, and the decisive counter-attack three-pointer made Lu Yong see the shadow of the cosmic brave in the later generations.

Bunche-Wells' counterattack to attract double-teams is also crucial. His body is too strong, and he can't even pull it when he rushes up.

The Warriors' defensive focus all fell on Wells, which allowed Szczerbiak to grab an open shot.

Bunch-Wells is indeed an idle villain on weekdays, but if something happens to him, he is really good!
