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

Chapter 42 The regular season is over!The league's first record!Refresh the team history record!Gasol MVP?

In March, the Grizzlies beat the Lakers 112-104 before losing back-to-back 97-101 to the Hornets the next day.

The record became 50 wins and 10 losses, breaking last year's regular season record.

The Hornets are currently ranked eighth in the West, 1.5 games ahead of the ninth Warriors, and have a high chance of meeting the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.

After the win, some Hornets fans saw the hope of an upset victory, and suddenly felt that their team seemed to be doing it again.

Lu Yong is really unwilling to break the beautiful fantasy of this group of people. If Gasol hadn't refused to rest in order to sprint for the MVP of the regular season, the Grizzlies could easily hang up the Hornets.

After a day off, the Grizzlies defeated their Western rivals the Spurs at home, and they had a slight advantage in the regular season with 2 wins and 1 loss.

However, although the game was won, the Spurs only lost 4 points, allowing the outside world to see the exhaustion of this Grizzlies team, and there was obviously a problem with the physical fitness of the stars.

It wasn't until the next game that the Grizzlies lost to the second-placed Mavericks in the West that coach Fratello really started to panic.

Lu Yong discussed with Fratello again to increase the rotation time of bench players at the end of the season so that the main players can have more time to rest.

At first, Fratello had his own ideas, trying to win more goals in the regular season, break his career team record, and did not want the main players to play for too short a time.

But the team has played too badly recently, which has caused dissatisfaction among the fans. He has no choice but to follow Lu Yong's suggestion.

In addition to increasing the playing time of rotation players, the team also adopted a large-scale rotation strategy and began to rest up to two main players in the same game.

Pau Gasol is still reluctant to rest, fearing that it will affect the regular season MVP selection.

In the end, Fratello talked so much that he finally gave Gasol a reluctant rest.

Lu Yong, as an assistant coach, naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to confront the leading star. This kind of persuasion is the job of the head coach, and he only needs to provide advice.

Paul Gasol's reaction made Lu Yong more determined. If he becomes the head coach in the future, he must ensure that he has an absolute right to speak in the team.

Only when the whole team is united can they maintain their competitiveness in the long regular season and avoid unpleasant conflicts in the locker room.

On the 7th, the Grizzlies beat the Trail Blazers away.

In the absence of head star Gasol, he is still very strong, stabilizing the morale of the team.

Mike Miller exploded in this game, played 37 minutes, made 21 of 13 shots, 15 of 9 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scored a season-high 38 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 60% .

Barea, Gay, and Lowry got more playing time at the end of the season, and their replacements can also ensure offensive firepower.

Afterwards, the Grizzlies started training before the playoffs. Although they lost to teams like the Bucks and Kings because of the rest of the main force, there were also some good plays that staged lore opponents at the last moment.

Mike Miller has become the player with the most three-pointers in the league this season, 62 more than the second-ranked "General" Arenas.

Not only is the output extremely high, but even the efficiency is guaranteed. The three-point shooting rate is 41.4%, which is extremely lethal.

The Grizzlies lost a total of five games throughout March, with a record of 57 wins and 15 losses, still leading the league.

The Mavericks ranked second in the league with 54 wins and 18 losses, and the Suns ranked third in the league with 53 wins and 20 losses.

As for the No. 48 Pistons in the East, they only have 25 wins and [-] losses, which is not as good as the Spurs, who are ranked fourth in the East.

There are still 10 games left in the regular season. Unless the Grizzlies are unlucky and suffer a wave of losing streak, they have already secured the top spot in the league with the team behind them.

After a season of running-in, the cooperation of the Grizzlies players has become more and more tacit, both offensive and defensive ends can find the rhythm, and even the task of leading the coaching staff is much easier.

In his spare time, Lu Yong began to look up information and analyze the league structure this summer.

After the contract expires, he will definitely leave the Grizzlies and start his own business. This summer, there are many high-quality players in the league to test the free market. He can return to his old job and see if he can make a fortune.

Usually, he didn't care much about the news, but it wasn't until this time that Lu Yong realized that he could not only play a role in the draft and the free market, but also had opportunities to rob in the trading window.

There are many future stars in the league who are just marginal people who are not valued. For Lu Yong, this is an opportunity.

The premise is that he can gain the trust of the team's management, and whether the next player is willing to delegate power to him is linked to the final performance of the Grizzlies this season.

Lu Yong still has to find a way to make the Grizzlies go further. If he can win the championship by chance, he will take off directly during the offseason, so there is no need to worry about no team poaching him.

In April, the goal of the Grizzlies coaching staff changed from a winning streak to staying healthy.

In the game leading by double digits, the main players will be resolutely replaced, so as to prevent bad news from the stadium when the playoffs are approaching.

Pau Gasol worked hard to win the first MVP of his career. In the game against the underdogs, he was full of firepower and made an eye-catching triple-double data.

He can't care about the shameful behavior of swiping data now. Nowitzki is chasing too closely, and Gasol doesn't dare to take it lightly.

The back-to-back triple-double performances at the end of the season have made Gasol repeatedly hit the sports headlines, and he has more limelight recently than the first five seasons of his career combined.

In the closing game, the Grizzlies beat the Jazz 116-95.

Although the league's No. 21 position has long been locked, the rookie players played very seriously on the court, easily beating the Jazz by [-] points under the pressure of strength.

Ariza, who played at home, exploded tonight, making 7 of 7 three-pointers and hitting every shot.

用100%的命中率砍下21分4篮板2助攻3抢断，刷新了生涯单场得分纪录。

The Grizzlies' final regular season record was fixed at 64 wins and 18 losses. Not only did they win the regular season championship, they also broke the best record in team history.

The Mavericks are 60 wins and 22 losses, ranking second in the league.

It is the only team other than the Grizzlies to reach 60 wins this season.

双方当家球星的数据：加索尔22.6分10.2篮板6.4助攻1.1抢断2.4盖帽，投篮命中率53.8%，三分球命中率29.3%，罚球命中率78.2%。

诺维斯基24.7分8.9篮板3.4助攻0.7抢断1.1盖帽，投篮命中率50.2%，三分命中率41.6%，罚球90.4%。

Although he scored fewer points than Nowitzki, Gasol's data is more comprehensive, and 10 triple-doubles in a single season is also a gimmick.

With the blessing of the Grizzlies' record, the regular season MVP will definitely be awarded to Paul Gasol, and there is no reason to go around and fall into Nowitzki's arms.

Mavericks fans are very disappointed. It's really not a good feeling to be swaggered on the head by the defeated player of last season.

The Mavericks lost two of the three games played in the regular season. It is also a psychological advantage for the Grizzlies to enter the playoffs.

Ranked 1-8 in the West are: Grizzlies, Mavericks, Suns, Spurs, Nuggets, Rockets, Jazz, and Hornets.

The Lakers, who were expected to board the last train of the playoffs, were completely cold because of the injury of the second-in-command Lamar Odom.

Since March, they have suffered a losing streak all the way. In the end, the team had a record of 39 wins and 43 losses, with a winning percentage of less than 50%.

The Golden State Warriors led by Old Nelson were even worse, and the opportunity to stage a black-eight miracle in the first round of the parallel world was ruthlessly deprived.

This season led the team to 40 wins and 42 losses, ranking ninth in the West, and did not even make the playoffs.

Although the butterfly effect instigated by Lu Yong snatched Nowitzki's regular season MVP, it also prevented him from being nailed to the pillar of historical shame by the black eight in the first round.

The Sonics are at the bottom of the Western Conference again, with a record of 22 wins and 60 losses, refreshing the team's lower limit.

Even the Celtics, the last in the East, and the Bucks, who are in the second to last, have 24 wins and 28 wins respectively. This shows how badly the Sonics have played this year.
