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

Chapter 31 Dispute! "Non-stick pan" coach!Fan: "Fratello dismissed!
At the end of November, the Grizzlies flew to New Jersey to challenge the Nets away.

Since the Nets let go of the No. [-] insider Kenyon Martin, the team has never returned to the Finals.

The new trident of Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson is strong but has poor chemistry.

The record in the new season is only 8 wins and 6 losses, ranking sixth in the East, and its strength is not as good as the Grizzlies.

Before the start of the game, the media agreed that the Grizzlies could win the game, and the difference was nothing more than the number of points they won against the Nets.

Pau Gasol just won the player of the week for the second time before this.

上周他场均打36.2分钟，能拿下23.1分9.4篮板5.8助攻和1.9次盖帽，全能战士的头衔彻底坐实。

He shot 56.2% from the field, which also set a new high in recent seasons, with excellent personal data and team records.

On ESPN's latest MVP rankings, Gasol also surpassed Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant for the first time, temporarily ranking first.

Kobe's scoring data is the highest among the three players, averaging 31.6 points per game and ranking first in the league.

However, the Lakers' record this season is too hip, which seriously hindered Kobe.

Stumbling along the way, there is no dominance at all, and currently it can only barely rank seventh in the West.

Gasol has a smile on his face every day recently. He knows that he is playing the best season of his career and is expected to win the first regular season MVP.

98 to 90, the Grizzlies successfully defeated the Nets away and won the opening 14 consecutive victories.

The team won, but Lu Yong was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players after the game.

Standing off the court in the final quarter, he loudly reprimanded Mike Miller, who made only 13 of 4 shots.

In this game, the defensive intensity given by the Nets was very high, which caused the Grizzlies to miss shots from the outside and played a game where they failed to break [-] points.

The Grizzlies relied on Pau Gasol's inside advantage to win the game, scoring 64 to 35 in the penalty area, almost crushing.

To make matters worse, "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire suffered a block from Kidd in a breakthrough layup in the second quarter and left the field early with a fractured left little finger.

After the team doctor's examination after the game, Stoudemire is expected to be absent for two weeks, and fighting with injuries can easily affect the state of the game.

A fractured little finger can only be regarded as a minor injury for NBA players. If it occurs in a life-and-death playoffs, the star will usually just leave the field with a guard and continue to fight.

There are even more ruthless people who forcibly broke the fracture point back with their own hands, without even needing the next treatment.

However, a broken finger will affect the player's ball control and shooting rhythm after all.

The Grizzlies, who have the league's first record in the regular season, don't need to let players die. They still choose a conservative treatment plan for injuries.

The next night, the Grizzlies, who fought back to back, lost to the Utah Jazz led by veteran coach Jerry Sloan.

102 to 107, the winning streak was fixed at 14 games.

Fratello used Eddie Jones as a guest point guard to enter the starting lineup. The team's overall defense became stronger, but its impact on the basket was greatly reduced.

The positional battle can only be supported by Gasol standing at the top of the arc, scoring mainly by shooting, and the back line lacks a sharp knife to break through the opponent's defense with the ball.

埃迪-琼斯这场打了34分钟，7投2中，三分球4中1，得到5分6篮板4助攻2抢断和1次封盖。

The data fills the data column, but it's nothing. His offensive contribution is far inferior to that of "Little Flying Squirrel", and he can't play a decisive role in the tough battle.

Barea, who entered the regular rotation as a substitute, also feels average, probably because he hasn't had a chance to play for too long. Tonight, he only made 6 of 1 shots from the bench, 4 of 1 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 3 points and 2 assists.

The core of the Jazz is Deron Williams, Boozer, and Okur. The overall level is good, they can attack and defend, and they played a typical Utah-style victory.

Fratello's poor on-the-spot response was once again exposed. Without Stoudemire, he would not be able to line up in an instant.

Lu Yong asked him to use Rudy Gay several times but didn’t get a response. When the team obviously lacked a breakthrough player, this guy still insisted on the previous style of play. He didn’t let Gay play more. He only got 6 minutes in the game. playing time.

In his rookie season, Rudy Gay was able to shoot suddenly. If Fratello reuses him as a ball handler tonight, the effect will definitely be better than that of veteran Eddie Jones.

Even if Terrence Kinsey stayed on the court for a long time and replaced Eddie Jones who played 34 minutes, the Grizzlies would not be able to break through and score only a poor 22 points.

On December 12, the Grizzlies returned home and defeated the New Orleans Hornets.

A narrow victory 116 to 110 to avoid a losing streak.

Hornets second-year rookie Chris Paul exploded tonight, one-on-one strong Eddie Jones relaxed and happy, the audience scored 29 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

If it wasn't for Mike Miller who finally stood up and made two key three-pointers to seal the victory, Fratello's stubborn employment almost caused disaster.

On the 5th, the Grizzlies played against the Phoenix Suns at home.

Eddie Jones continued to slump and was blown up by his opponent for the second consecutive game.

Watching Steve Nash score 24 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists, shooting over 50% from the field.

Pau Gasol also had no advantage in this matchup against "Small Overlord" Stoudemire, scoring only 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, struggling on the offensive end.

93 to 102, the Grizzlies lost at home to the Suns led by "Son of the Wind", swallowing their second loss of the season.

The only thing that makes Lu Yong feel gratified is that Barea, who came off the bench, played an eye-catching performance. He made 9 of 6 shots and 7 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 17 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. His three-point shooting percentage was 71.4%, but he played too little time. .

On December 12, the Grizzlies lost back to back to the Spurs.

89 to 97, suffered the third defeat of the season.

Fratello's employment became more and more confusing. From the start of the 14-game winning streak to the loss of 4 of the last 3 games, the fans began to be dissatisfied with Fratello's coaching level.

What's more, the grumpy old man with a big temper simply blocked the entrance of the arena and sprayed, holding a banner and yelling that Fratello dismissed get out of class!
No one complained about Lu Yong, because the fans saw the two quarreling on the bench more than once, and finally Lu Shuai sat down in anger, leaving only Fratello standing on the sidelines to direct.

Obviously, during the team's loss, Lu Yong put forward his own opinions to the head coach, but from the results, Fratello did not adopt them, and the two even had a bad quarrel because of this.

If Flatloken listened to persuasion like a pig, maybe the Grizzlies would not have to lose these three games?

There are many fans who have this idea, which is why Fratello has recently suffered a lot of criticism.

After returning home, Fratello didn't dare to open social media at all, for fear that his blood pressure would soar because of his age.

Tilt your head, kick your feet, Gaba! "Mom, I saw God."

Lu Yong, who has been angry for a while, knows that he must stand up and take over the game, and Fratello's on-the-spot command is really not good.

When the team fell behind, he would only keep emphasizing defense and put pressure on the players. He really didn't do anything serious.

He has no habit of reusing rookies. Gay and Barea, two potential rookies, have too few opportunities to perform. But if he makes a bold change and uses a substitute, the Grizzlies will not suffer a losing streak.

What made Lu Yong look down on him the most was that in an interview after the game, Fratello even blamed the players for the loss.

It is believed that "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire's injury disrupted the team's original offensive rhythm, and Paul Gasol has been in a sluggish state in recent games, so the Grizzlies will suffer a losing streak.

I didn't see that this guy is still a "non-stick" coach, and he is very good at throwing the pot to the players after losing.

Fortunately, LeBron James didn't play under Fratello, otherwise the two would have to fight each other.

Playing for such a coach, not only the growth rate of rookies is extremely slow, but even veterans are prone to dissatisfaction, and the team culture will ruin his hands sooner or later.

That is to say, in this era, all teams pay attention to qualifications when looking for a head coach. After ten years, even if the "Bantam" is not beaten to death, he is destined to lose his job and leave get out of class.

After two consecutive losses, the Grizzlies ushered in a three-day rest period.

Lu Yong was lying in the apartment leisurely analyzing the video of the game against the Spurs. He knew that Fratello would definitely come to him and begged him to make a move.

No matter how good-looking the coach is, he dare not let the team continue to lose.
