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

Chapter 93 Surprise all the way to the end of December!Facing the media!Biggest dark horse of the season!
Immediately after the Supersonics official announcement, a number of media reported on the deal.

The outside world does not understand why the Sonics actively seek a deal when they have an amazing record at the start of the game.

Sent away the stable backup point guard Luke Ridnour, in exchange for an unknown swingman.

More media broke the news that the Sonics deal will become a turning point in the season, which is likely to destroy the atmosphere in the locker room, weaken the strength of the rotation, and go downhill all the way.

Lu Yong doesn't care about the media's comments. News is written for people to read, and making gimmicks to gain traffic is a common method for newspapers.

Only Lu Yong knows whether this deal is a profit or a loss. Keeping Ridnor will destroy the atmosphere in the locker room, and being able to send him away early in the season can also be regarded as clearing a time bomb.

Delfino is very suitable for the Sonics. He can do things that veteran Michael Finley can't do, and he can also be entrusted with important tasks in certain games and become a surprise off the bench.

Luke Ridnour can only be regarded as a small person in the entire league. After a few years, few fans will remember him. Leaving the Sonics will be the decision he regrets most in his career.

After harvesting Delfino, the Sonics now have both offensive and defensive players in various positions, and the lineup is very deep.

Facing opponents with different styles, Lu Yong can also send out different lineups to deal with them, with a very high fault tolerance rate.

On the 16th, the Sonics beat the Trail Blazers away.

115 to 108, there was a rain of three-pointers in the final quarter to win the game in a thrilling manner.

Delonte West, Szczerbiak, and PJ Tucker played well, and they jointly threw 12 three-pointers, playing a strong offensive firepower.

开拓者得分最多的是“黄曼巴”罗伊，出战37分钟，18投9中，三分球3中1，罚球6中6，砍下24分4篮板5助攻1抢断，命中率50%。

It's a pity that Roy was frequently double-teamed by the Sonics in the last quarter, and he missed his shots in a panic. He is still too young to be the boss of a rebuilding team.

Lu Yong is satisfied with the current state of the Sonics. Although young players tend to make wild shots when they are ahead, it is already very good to be able to play like this in the first year of the rebuilding, and the future can be expected.

The new aid Delfino has not yet completed the registration. He did not travel with the team in this game and will make his home debut in Seattle.

On the 17th, Lu Yong, who returned to Seattle, met new aid Delfino in the arena.

His handsome back head and iconic arm tattoos have attracted countless fans. There are many female fans in the Argentine national team, even more popular than compatriot Manu Ginobili.

It is undeniable that Manu at his peak had a very good appearance, but there was an idiot who loved to touch people's heads when he had nothing to do, so he touched the "demon sword" into a bald man.

"Hi, coach."

Seeing Lu Yong walking towards him, Delfino, who was practicing fixed-point three-pointers, stopped and waved his hand to greet him.

"Hello, Carlos, I'm the coach of the Sonics. I don't know if you're still comfortable with training in the new arena." Lu Yong looked him up and down and smiled.

As a standard role player, Delfino, who met the new coach for the first time, didn’t know how to introduce himself, so he could only say humbly: “My teammates are very enthusiastic and helped me a lot during training. I’m very happy. To be able to play for you, the media say you are an amazing coach."

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Carlos, I proposed to the management to trade you to the Supersonics. The team needs your three-pointers and defense. As long as you can seize the opportunity, I promise, you will definitely be able to." Get better numbers than you did with the Raptors."

Delfino nodded excitedly. This is definitely good news, and it relieved his worries on the way when he came.

The Sonics need his defense and three-point shooting, and these two abilities are exactly what he is most sure of.

As long as he is not sidelined by the new coach and has enough playing time, Delfino is not afraid of falling out of the rotation.

This kind of confidence comes from the experience of the national team. He is an international star who has seen big scenes and never bows his head in his field of expertise.

During practice, the shooting coach had Delfino catch and shoot jumpers from five locations beyond the three-point line.

It turned out to be a surprise that he shot at an astonishingly high percentage without distractions.

Especially for the 45-degree catch and jump shots on both sides, Delfino made a total of 10 three-pointers, with no misses and extremely fast shots.

The left bottom corner is his cold shooting zone. He missed two of his five shots. The other positions are very stable, not weaker than the No. 5 Sonics scorer Delonte West.

On the offensive end, Delfino can create a huge threat from beyond the three-point line. He only needs to be familiar with the running position of the Supersonic offensive system. I believe he can integrate into the team soon.

Lu Yong thinks that Delfino is more like "jazz legend" Brian Russell.

That's right, it is the background board of the 98 Finals G6, which was pushed away by Jordan with his arm and hit the lore mid-range shot.

Brian Russell is a standard 3D player in the Jazz. He stretches the offensive end and waits for opportunities to catch the ball and jump shots. Occasionally, he can also send quick passes as a transfer station.When defending, he is mainly responsible for marking the opponent's offensive knives and is always full of passion.

Although it became the background board for Michael Jordan's lore goal in the finals, it did not affect him as a capable person in the slightest.

Delfino's playing style is very similar to that of Russell, which can improve the Sonics' perimeter defense.

Even if this kind of player joins midway, it will not destroy the team's offensive system. The plug-and-play style of play without the ball is comparable to Ariza, who helped the Grizzlies win the championship last season.

Once he comes, Bunch Wells doesn't need to work hard on three-pointers, and maintains a fast-break and counterattack style of play, which makes the offense more threatening.

Michael Finley can also relieve the pressure, rest assured in back-to-back games, and don't have to worry about holes in the swingman position and reduce the depth of the lineup.

That night, the Sonics defeated the Bucks at home, and the ranking returned to second in the West.

Under the leadership of head coach Chris Kowiak, the Bucks are getting worse and worse. The start record is 6 wins and 18 losses, which is outrageous.

"Deer King" Michael Reid did not have the upper hand against the veteran Bunch Wells. He was not well defended and shot in the face. He was too reluctant to turn over and fall back. He only made 18 of 6 shots in the game. Contributed 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The No. 14 pick, Andrew Bogut, performed even worse. Facing the rookie Noah, he couldn't dominate the penalty area. He made 5 of 11 shots and only scored 7 points, 1 rebounds and 40 block with free throws, and his shooting percentage was less than [-]%.

相比之下，出战31分钟得到8分12篮板6助攻2抢断2封盖的诺阿无疑更加出色，狠狠地教训了这位来自澳大利亚的状元。

The Supersonic's outside touch is average, but with Durant's 25-point performance, he still firmly suppressed the Bucks, and the team was very easy to beat.

In the final 114 to 96, the Sonics won by 18 points at home.

Delfino came off the bench and played 16 minutes. He made 4 of 2 three-pointers and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

On the eve of the Christmas break, the Sonics have four games left to play.

With stable offensive firepower and lineup depth, the Sonics won 4 out of 3 games, with a record of 20 wins and 8 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

At the same time, the victory over the Hornets also made the Sonics the fourth team in the league to achieve 20 wins. They rushed all the way to the end of December, slapped the media in the face, and became the biggest dark horse of the season.
