The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Maybe, he just has a good passing touch in the last few games."

Unable to find an answer, fans of other teams have suggested such ideas.

This has been approved by many fans and has become their only psychological comfort.

In the attention of the fans, the Pelicans returned to the home court and continued to usher in the game against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are known for their defense, and fans expect their thoughts to be fulfilled.

As it turns out, they were half right.

In this game, Tang Tian's assists were successfully limited to less than 10 by the Grizzlies, and he only got 8.

But he scored 46 points in the game, nearly half of the team's points.

The reason for this result was that Jogel used a single-defense tactic against Tang Tian throughout the game.

Tang Tian blasted the old Allen to nothing.

Tang Tian played easily, and Stevens also increased his ball possession rate. In this game, Tang Tian's ball possession rate exceeded 50%, which also set a new season high.

This game also officially told others that this was the result of defending Tang Tian alone.

To double-team or not to double-team, the way of death is your choice.

The other team's option is to double-team.

Tang Tian's personal attack power is too strong, rather than letting him score, it's better to bet that his teammates don't feel good.

Carlyle did just that.

After the end of the game with the Grizzlies, the Pelicans ushered in the last confrontation with the Mavericks of the season.

The Pelicans have won all three previous meetings.

After Jennings arrived in Dallas, he performed well, and the Mavericks' record also rebounded.

However, Embiid continued to miss this game due to an ankle injury, so he could only sit on the sidelines and cheer for the players.

Pachulia started in his place.

Since the last footstep incident, the grudge between the two teams has been deep, and Pachulia's start this time has stimulated the Pelicans players even more.

Carlisle used the defensive rotation method this time, and as a result, the entire Pelicans team was in a hot state.

Tang Tian's passing was not only accurate, but also increased the receiver's shooting stability.

The various passing shows in the game are dazzling.

Tang Tian double-teamed and passed the ball through the gap to Jokic, and Jokic passed it directly to Davis, who dunked with both hands.

Tang Tian broke through and passed the ball to Davis. Davis attracted the help defense points to Jokic, and Jokic dunked hard with both hands and scored.

Tang Tian suddenly scored Jokic, and Jokic directly returned the ball and threw it above the basket. Tang Tianfei jumped up and directly smashed the ball into the basket against Pachulia who was assisting in the defense.

Pachulia didn't even dare to fart.

If you play hard, you are afraid of being dirty, and if you are dirty, you are afraid of being horizontal.

The psychological shadow left by Tang Tian's punch has not been erased until now.

But the point isn't that, it's the way the Pelicans play.

When the Mavericks started double-teaming Tang Tian, ​​the Pelicans played in a superb state.

That kind of feeling is very similar to the Lakers team in the late 80s.

show. time!

At that time, the Lakers were sitting on the top four champions of Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Worthy and Thomson.

The talent of this Pelicans team is obviously not as strong as that of the Lakers team.

But Stevens' tactical system has taken shape after almost a season, and there is a tacit understanding between the several starters.

The system made up for the talent to a certain extent, coupled with the fiery state of Bo Yang and Holiday after the All-Star Game, they really feel this way.

New Orleans fans witnessed a quicksilver game that was even more exciting than sweeping the Mavericks in the regular season.

After the game, Butler's expression was very helpless.

This was the last time he and Tang Tian played against each other this season, but even though he scored a season-high 36 points, he still couldn't lead the team to victory.

He suddenly understood Thompson's mood back then.

It's really hard to feel abused by a brother.

The good news, though, is that Butler is not alone, with Irving joining his ranks long after.

After the Pelicans beat the Mavericks, they flew to Cleveland to usher in their second match against the Cavaliers this season.

The result was similar to playing the Mavericks. The strength of the Cavaliers who reinforced Frye increased, but it did not solve their defensive problems.

The Pelicans still played show.time.

Moreover, the Cavaliers' record has fluctuated after the All-Star Game, and there are many internal problems.

The Pelicans finally blew away the Cavaliers 116 to 96, ushering in the second 16-game winning streak of the season.

However, after the game ended, the focus of fans' attention was not on the performance of the Pelicans.

Because after the game ended, the Cavaliers officially announced a news that shocked the league.

7 Chapter Ninety Tyronn Lu Comes Out of the Mountain (Second Update!)

The Cavaliers announced their resignation from the head coach of David Blatt, and the team's first assistant Tyronn Lue will serve as the interim coach.

The news shocked fans and the media.

Although as early as before the All-Star Game, there were many radical fans calling for Blatter to dismiss get out of class, but most of them were angry words aimed at the team's poor performance.

And that's only a handful.

Blatter has a remarkable record of coaching in the European League for more than 20 years. He won 6 championships in Israel in 11 years. He won the European Championship as a Russian coach and won the Olympic bronze medal in the London Olympics.

He has been in the Cavaliers for more than a year and has also shown a level of coaching that matches it.

He led the new group of Big Three to the finals in the first year, and the record so far this season is much better than the same period last year.

With such a coach, the Cavaliers fired as soon as they said they were fired. It can only be said that the team management is really willful.

However, the performance of the Cavaliers before and after the All-Star has fluctuated greatly, and the external pressure is very high. The team needs a blame.

The team coach has always been the best person to take on that role.

It seems that the Pelicans' double play plus victory became the last straw that crushed Blatt.

But the internal news that Woj broke out afterwards made this matter continue to ferment.

According to Woj's news report, as early as before the All-Star Game, some members of the Cavaliers questioned Blatter's coaching methods.

It is speculated that this player is likely to be Anderson Varejao who was traded away from the team.

Aiming at the team's defensive problems, he put forward the idea of ​​asking star players to take the lead in defense.

This proposal was adopted by head coach Blatter. In the training session, he asked James, Irving and Love to take the lead in defense.

James was unhappy with Blatter's statement at the time, though he didn't question it on the spot.

But in private, he was unhappy with this incident in his communication with his friends, because he is the best defensive player in the Cavaliers.

Regardless, the incident created a wedge between James and Blatt.

This is also the reason why James did not stand up for Blatter when Blatter was questioned by the outside world.

After the Cavaliers lost to the Pelicans, Blatter criticized the team's defensive performance in front of James after the game, which further exacerbated this contradiction.

Tyronn Lu observed the situation, he noticed the conflict between his boss and James, and he tried to get the two to sit down and communicate.

But this approach was rejected by Blatter. Blatter felt that he did nothing wrong as the head coach, and there was no need for that.

After that, the Cavaliers' record continued to fluctuate, and the conflict between the two further intensified.

This contradiction also attracted the attention of the team's management, and the All-Star Game gave Blatter a chance to breathe.

But it is a pity that the team's record has not improved after the All-Star Game.

The Cavaliers front office cannot turn a blind eye to this continued performance.

After communicating with general manager David Griffin and the James team, they finally made the decision to resign Blatt.

And Tyronn Lue, who gets along well with James, is good at interpersonal relationships, and is also quite creative in tactics, became his successor.

It is said that James' team is very satisfied with Lu, which also prevents the management from continuing to look for a new head coach this season.

These inside stories revealed by Woj are progressive and seem to be quite authentic.

And with the accuracy of his previous revelations, this has convinced many fans and even the management of other teams.

This also attracted fans to complain about James on social media.

"I'm really convinced. The Heat's management didn't choose Tang Tian, ​​and now they fired Blatter to the Cavaliers' management. LeBron is the owner of the team, right?"

"It's said to interfere with the management. The more Tang interferes with the Pelicans, the stronger the Pelicans. The more LeBron interferes with the team, the more chaotic it is... If you don't have talent, it's not good to be a player?"

"That's what I'm most afraid of. You can see how bad it is for Jordan to be a boss now, but at the time, he was very sensible. If he didn't have talent, he would just be a player!"

"Let me put it here. It is impossible for the Cavaliers to win the championship this season. The Pelicans won the championship this season, and No. 1 in the league has officially changed hands."

……

The relationship between Woj and the James team was not good, and this revelation caused James to be questioned like never before.

Even as the fans said on social media, they are now looking forward to the Pelicans beating the Cavaliers to win the championship.

In that case, Tang Tian, ​​who is outstanding in strength and good in image, can completely confirm his status as No.1 in the alliance.

"He always likes to use that way to attract attention, he said as if he appeared in the meeting place where the fictional Gilbert communicated with my team, as if he appeared in the so-called meeting place where I communicated with my friends?

How would he know this if he didn't?And the details he said are like personal experience, does he really regard himself as God? "

Woj's revelations damaged James' reputation. In front of the media, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly attacked Woj.

What James said is not unreasonable, and it is not once or twice that reporters fabricate stories to attract gimmicks.

Woj is a well-known reporter, and he mainly focuses on breaking news accurately, but he still can't get rid of his identity as a reporter.

Whether it is true or false, no one can really tell except the person involved.

Under pressure from James' team, Woj finally deleted the previous report.

But what can be seen from this series of things is that the Cavaliers are now in turmoil internally.

The most uncomfortable person at this time may be the team owner Gilbert.

When James was 1.0, he structured the team according to his own ideas, but the team stopped in the finals year after year.

During the James 2.0 period, he spent a lot of money and spent money crazily, but now the team looks precarious.

In such an environment, the Cavaliers held a press conference for Tyronn Lue the day after he fired Blatt.

The team was in turmoil, but Lu looked very good, and he was able to deal with sharp questions from reporters fluently.

"David is a very good coach. I have been under him for more than a year. I am sure of this, but I also believe that the decision of the management is correct. The team has not performed well recently and we need some changes. "

Lu's speaking skills are still very good.

"I will give players more freedom on the court. We are a team with LeBron, Kyrie and Kevin. They are the best players in every position in this league. Especially LeBron, he has rich experience and he He's been through so many situations and he's very good at dealing with situations on the field."

When the reporter asked what changes the Cavaliers were going to make, Lu replied unabashedly.

Lu's answer at the press conference aroused heated discussions among fans.
