Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 153 [Sonic Challenge]

The news said that Lawrence Frank was temporarily taking over the coaching position. In fact, the Nets used him this season. The players all like this good-tempered guy.

In the morning, Wang Jun went to the team to report on the training, and found that Lawrence was earlier than him, and greeted him with a smile.

"Wang Jun, good morning. After resting for so long, I will practice shooting more in a while. I plan to let you start the next game." Lawrence spoke as sweetly as honey, and what Wang Jun wanted to hear most.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "Coach, please take care of me in the future."

"Sure, let's work hard together." Lawrence patted Wang Jun on the back, enthusiastically as if the two were old friends for many years.

Lawrence has no airs. He was born in August 1970. He is only 33 years old this year. He has a cheerful personality and has a childlike innocence.

He broke an all-time record without playing a game and became the youngest NBA team coach in history.

The previous record was held by the Warriors coaches. Last season, they got assistant coach Eric Musselman right and signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract at the age of 37.

Lawrence is much more exaggerated. He can barely be called a veteran in the NBA at the age of 33. The Nets substitute Robert Parker is one year older than him.

The players arrived one after another, and Lawrence chatted with everyone, and everyone congratulated him sincerely.

Kidd was the most excited, jumped up and had a passionate chest bump with Lawrence.

Scott didn't understand what was wrong with him until he left. Why did everyone dislike him? The reason is actually very simple. He always puts on the airs of a coach and treats players as subordinates instead of friends. He puts his position too high.

The atmosphere in the team was completely different from the preseason training camp. The dead players were revived collectively, talking and laughing, relaxed and excited.

If this is an Indian team, now is everyone singing and dancing together?

Looking at the smiling people, Wang Jun's mind was wide open, imagining that Kidd was standing in the front row singing songs that fit the atmosphere, and everyone followed behind neatly twisting their waists and dancing hotly, laughing together.

"The King called me to patrol the mountains, I turned the world around, beat my drums, beat my gongs, life is full of rhythm..." (Is this the atmosphere of the Nets?!)

After changing the coach, the players trained more seriously than before. Everyone had a clear goal and ended the losing streak.

Using the shooting training card, Wang Jun quickly recovered his shooting rhythm, and his open shooting rate was stable, unchanged from before the suspension. Kidd and the coaching staff are relieved.

That night, Wang Jun flew to Seattle with the team on a special plane, and the opponent was the Supersonic.

Just as the new official strength list was announced, the Nets have fallen to 22nd with 3 wins and 9 losses.

The media is generally not optimistic about the Nets, predicting before the game that the Sonics will easily win.

There are also more people in Black Kidd. Many people on the Internet think that without Scott, the Nets cannot win. The 33-year-old young coach Lawrence is a joke, and now the Nets have no coach.

The Sonics are currently 8 wins and 4 losses, and they are the biggest dark horse this season.

Before the game, the players got the Sonics player data sheets. NBA scouts are very professional. Before the start of each game, they will send information to help players understand their opponents, and then the coach will formulate tactics according to the opponent's lineup.

Wang Jun has already decided to start, but he doesn't know who to play against.

The second position of the opponent is Ray Allen, whom Hornacek is very optimistic about.

The rise of the Supersonics began with the joining of Ray Allen. He is the golden generation in 1996, with comprehensive skills and three-point accuracy. He currently averages 22.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

Last season, Ray Allen lost the All-Star Game, and the team's shooting guard Michael Reed grew rapidly. The Bucks felt that Ray Allen could be replaced by Reid.

On the other hand, Payton is tired of the fatuous Sonics management, and the Sonics are ungrateful and want to get rid of the old Payton who has devoted all his youth to it.

The reason is that Payton's temper is too bad.

In the end the two sides hit it off.

Thunder defense Allen Wang Jun is under a lot of pressure, and it is not easy to deal with small forwards. The Sonics forward is Vladimir Radmanovich, a big man who is good at shooting three-pointers.

He is 208cm tall, averages 11.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, and shoots 39.3% of three-pointers. He is good at creating space in the corners and sides. Stojakovic.

The supersonic power forward is also different. It was Rashard Lewis who set the record for sitting in the black room for the longest time. He averaged 17.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game and made 37.6% of his three-pointers.

Lewis, who is 208cm tall, can use his footsteps to sway opponents to score in the low post, and his speed is the best in the inside. He also has excellent shooting ability and can open the space for teammates to break through.

The Sonics point guard is relatively weak, Antonio Daniels. This lineup is very fast, Daniels' assist ability is average, but he can rush ahead and score.

Several supersonic centers are pure blue-collar, not necessarily who starts, which is similar to the Nets.

As a substitute, the Sonics have "whites can fly" Brent Barry, who is good at three-pointers and has rich experience. Luke Ridnour, the 14th pick in the first round, can also play a role.

This game will be broadcast live on ** Radio.

Barkley arrived at the scene and analyzed before the game: "The Sonics have won five consecutive victories and are in full swing. The Nets have lost two consecutive games. It feels like they have lost their fighting spirit. I think the Sonics have a better chance of winning."

Kenny Smith smiled: "This is the first game of Lawrence Frank's professional coaching. He seems to be in a good mood, communicating with Kidd or something. He is probably the luckiest person who changed careers. He hasn't even heard a complete coaching session." Lesson. The reporter interviewed Garfunkel before, and he couldn't believe it."

Garfunkel is the director of the Five Star Basketball Camp, which has produced more than 300 college and NBA coaches.

Lawrence has never played basketball himself, but is just a fan. At the beginning, he could not enter the training camp. In order to fulfill his dream of being a basketball coach, he wrote a letter to Garfunkel. The latter was moved by his sincerity and arranged He went to the commissary of the training camp to do odd jobs and learn basketball knowledge by the way.

Frank worked in that canteen for 4 years, working and studying, and learned a lot.

He never expected that this guy from the canteen became the head coach before anyone else in the same period, he was simply the protagonist of a YY novel.

After reading the information, Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Chinese fans will be very happy today. Not only is Wang Jun back on the team, he is also on the starting list. This year the Nets are still strong in defense and don't lose many points. Their The problem is the offense, someone has to stand up and score, which is probably why Wang Jun was reused."

Barkley nodded: "The Sonics are just the opposite. They rely on offense to win. They are one of the best three-point teams in the league. They have proved that they can play well without Payton."

Smith said with some regret: "Payton is in a bad situation in the Lakers now and has been reduced to a role player. Maybe that is not the team that suits him."

Players from both sides stood in the middle circle, and the Nets started: Kidd, Wang Jun, Jefferson, Martin, Collins.

Sonics starters: Daniels, Ray Allen, Radmanovich, Lewis, Evans.

Wang Jun is very excited, the opportunity is in front of him, he must seize it!
