Coach Lu watched the video of Wayne scoring 45 points in his comeback. He couldn't help but close his eyes as he watched it.

Do you think he fell asleep?

hehe.

Yes, if you remove the thought, he just fell asleep!

After all, Coach Lu is a head coach who can fall asleep directly during a game and forget to call a timeout. It is completely normal to fall asleep while watching a game video.

It wasn't until he heard the harsh electronic buzzer that Director Lu woke up from his sleep.

After waking up, he quickly looked at the score.

While he was asleep, Wayne had only scored 30 points.

When he woke up, Wayne scored 45 points.

So, what happened in the middle?

Director Lu looked at the screen with a confused expression. The essence of human beings is well-deserved.

When I watched the live broadcast of Trail Blazers VS Heat yesterday, Coach Lu didn't know how Wayne scored so many points because he didn't watch the whole game.

I originally wanted to work hard tonight, catch up on the videos, study them carefully, and prepare for the Christmas war.

As a result, I fell asleep while watching the video again.

The corner of Director Lu's mouth twitched twice, damn, it's not easy to be a head coach!

Unlike in the original history, Director Lu took over the team in the middle of last season.

At the beginning, Director Lu actually did not come to the Cavaliers as a head coach.

At that time, the Cavaliers were interested in David Blatt, an American coach who had achieved great success in Europe.

David Blatt's resume is much more glamorous than that of Director Lu.

It is rare for him to be a coach of a beautiful country and go to Europe.

What's even rarer is that he also achieved great success in Europe.

In 2007, he led the Russian men's basketball team to win the European Championship. In 2012, he led the team to win the Olympic bronze medal. Before joining the Cavaliers in 2014, he had just led the Israeli team Maccabi to defeat many giants and win the Champions League.

He is a well-deserved European champion coach.

Entering the NBA with such a halo and teaming up with James, people are very optimistic about the Cavaliers' prospects.

But in the first half of the season, the team's record was not ideal.

David Blatt's rhythm also seems out of tune with the NBA.

In Europe, the coach's rules and decisions are ironclad. Whether it's the whistleblowing of confrontation training or who takes the last shot in the game, the coach's authority will almost never be questioned.

Blatter is admired and loved in Europe. He is favored by the whole team and all the fans. He is used to that kind of authority.

But that's not the case in the NBA.

When you call a foul in a training game, NBA players won't just admit it, they will argue with you.

But Blatter has never encountered this situation at all, and he can't deal with it at all. Many times, he has to rely on assistant coach Lu to tell the players, including James: "This is a foul, continue to the next ball!"

Similar situations are not limited to foul calls in training games. Many tactical arrangements and many substitution decisions are often questioned in the NBA.

But Blatter often remains silent on such controversies.

Over time, the team's veterans were discussing: "Is Blatt a little afraid of James?"

He was completely unable to establish authority in the locker room.

In addition, Blatter's coaching often has problems.

It stands to reason that the head coach should be the calmest person among everyone on the court. Even if you are like Coach Lu and you have no moves at all, you still have to look calm on the surface.

But Blatter didn't know whether he was too nervous or why, but he often panicked.

At the beginning of the season, there was a critical moment at the end of a game. Everyone gathered in a circle, and Blatter sat in the middle, writing and drawing on the tactical board.

He arranged for Marion to execute this key shot. Well, in Europe, there is no problem with this approach, and the players have to listen to the coach.

But this is the NBA. If you don't let the stars take the best shot, it's easy to cause problems.

At that time, everyone on the Cavaliers was stunned, not only because Blatt actually chose Marion for the key attack, but because Marion was not on the court with the special code at all, and he did not receive instructions to play next.

!

He asked a person who didn't even exist on the field to execute the key ball, which is outrageous.

This is enough to show that Blatter panicked and lost his head at the critical moment.

And this situation didn't just happen once, sometimes he would put two players in the same position in a tactic, or even two different people to execute the same instruction.

Sometimes his hands would shake when he was drawing tactics, and sometimes he would simply let Lu coach him and explain the tactics.

His persuasiveness was destroyed in a very short period of time.

In the original history, the Cavaliers still cooperated with Blatt for a full season.

But in this history, James did not have a championship in his hands last season. He urgently needed a championship to save his career. It was impossible for him to let such a coach lead the team to compete for the championship.

Therefore, only halfway through last season, Blatter, the king of Europe, packed up and left.

Director Lu took office early and eventually led the team to win the championship.

To put it bluntly, Lu's tactical training may not be better than Blatter's.

Sometimes Brat relies on Tyronn Lue for on-the-spot command, and Lue's guidance is even more impressive. Sometimes he relies directly on James for on-the-spot command!

But Lu's guidance is more adaptable to the rhythm of the NBA.

In NBA history, there are many examples of dazzling lineups being blown away.

No matter how strong a team's lineup is on paper, it is just a lie. It needs to unite everyone to be truly strong.

And the person twisting the rope is usually the coach.

Coach Lu has done this. He has good interpersonal relationships. He is one of the few coaches who dares to scold James. He has stabilized the locker room.

Therefore, he can be successful.

But it is obvious that these alone cannot defeat the powerful Trail Blazers.

Director Lu has a headache and really doesn’t know what to do.

From assistant coach to champion coach all of a sudden, do you think I thought that?

Now it seems that the only way to prevent the Trail Blazers from establishing an advantage is to

Let James play 48 minutes!

Director Lu was nervous at this time, but Lao Zhan was more relaxed.

In his opinion, his good brother was bullied so miserably by Wayne yesterday, and all the blame must be shouldered by Whiteside.

As long as David Bian can take two steps forward and effectively help defend Wayne, the Heat will have no chance of winning.

My wife and brother’s efficient 29 points were blinded in vain.

But having said that, even with Whiteside's defense like this, the Heat didn't say they were beaten to the point of being directly crushed.

The 16-point gap is not small, but it is not a crushing victory.

The reason why Wayne was able to score 45 points was because he kept playing in the fourth quarter and was afraid of being overturned.

Therefore, Mous thought that this pioneer might not be that strong after all!

As long as Wayne's scoring can be slightly limited, such as only allowing him to score 35 points, then the game can still be played.

In the next game, I play Greater Cleveland United, but TT guards the inside.

Who is TT? People in the world call him the Eight Wise Kings!

A ruthless man who earned an 80 million contract last season by averaging 8+8 per game.

Is it Sabi, the Cavaliers’ management? He’s always giving out 80 million.

Mainly because TT has its irreplaceability.

His defense is not top-notch, but he is one of the few. He can protect the frame and is mobile, and he can carry a big center without being afraid of a small inside player.

Moreover, his offensive rebounding is really strong, his style is really tough, and he never fails in tough battles.

The Cavaliers really need such blue-collar workers.

It was this kind of irreplaceability that allowed Thompson to go home with an 80 million contract.

And tomorrow, with James as the main defender and Thompson as the assist.

Wayne will never do whatever he wants again!

In fact, James doesn't need to remind him of this, Wayne already knows that TT is a ruthless person.

How cruel is it?

In the future, TT not only allowed Khloe Kardashian to break her defense, but she also had the energy to cheat on her!
